[Video] - Vector's temple

[cliffjumper]

[Some of you might be familiar with the noise of metal crunching as it hits something after falling at least a short distance, and Cliffjumper grunts, swears and, after a few moments, gets the video on.

It's mostly Cliffjumper's faceplate and upper torso that can be seen, plus a view of the sky and some spire-tops of Vector's temple, though he's looking slightly... wild-eyed.]

... Slaggin', rusty, scum-spewin' scrap! [The view wobbles as Cliffjumper changes his grip, then stabilises again.] Anyone else got stuck with somethin' new poppin' up courtsey of your glyphs?

Blurr, how the frag did ya get a handle on this?

[... there's a pause, and Cliffjumper half looks like he's about to say something more but then closes his mouth. Not yet. He'll... Well.]

[loyalflier]

[ yeah no. he's just here. watching with a little grin. ]

[cliffjumper]

This ain't funny! [Scowling, Cliffjumper unwinds a hand to point at Starscream, then immediately grabs what he's holding again.]

I don't even have my fraggin' jetpack and I ain't movin'!

[loyalflier]

I beg to differ, sweetspark.

[ yeah, guess what words he's picked up lately. but no, still going to have fun with this. ]

Need a hand?

[cliffjumper]

Well you can just stuff that--- wh... Starscream! [Anger briefly exchanged for being flustered, Cliffjumper huffs and looks away.]

... Maybe. I tried to get down and it didn't work at first and then I dropped.

I ain't fraggin' movin' and this is stupid and I'm not made for flyin'!

[chaosgoddess]

[SO MUCH SNICKERING.]

First time flying, I take it?

[cliffjumper]

Do I slaggin' look like I was made for flyin'!? 'Course it is!

[If Cliffjumper could hit her with the sheer force of his glare, Eris would've been well and truly decked.]

[chaosgoddess]

Manta rays doesn't look like they were meant for flying either but there they go them, trying to leave the sea by air. [She shrugs, still grinning.]

Need a hand? [She floats in front of the camera. Look who has no legs. Hint: It's not you, Cliffjumper.]

[cliffjumper]

Manta ray are still fish and even if it looks like they're flying they ain't. Lots of animals jump out of the sea and back.

[Scowl.]

Don't need it from you, that's for sure.

[Especially not since he's pretty sure you're bad business, what with the floating and all. And no legs.]

[cliffjumper]

[Have Cliffjumper staring for a few moments, having to replay what Blurr said at a lower speed to catch up. Then he scowls. Well. Scowls more.]

I didn't know it was goin' to happen! I didn't fraggin' plan on doing it! I was just walkin' and then... [grumbling, he shakes his helm.] up in the air and I couldn't get it to fraggin' stop.

How the slag did ya get control of this?

[Video]

[knight_light]

Are you all right? Do you need help?

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

[The response comes a bit later, and by then Cliffjumper's quite obviously back on solid ground again.]

I got someone. But, uh. Thanks for the offer? [Huffing, Cliffjumper scowls and shakes his helm.]

Next time, maybe.

[Hopefully he won't need help 'next time', though.]

Re: [Video]

[knight_light]

Any time. Mind if I ask what happened?

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

[There's a grunt even as Cliffjumper turns around slightly so he can show off the glyph on his arm, giving it a tap before twisting back forwards.]

If ya didn't know yet, the glyphs can give ya... powers. Dunno the mechanism or whatever yet, but different Firstforged give different things. [A rattling sigh.] One of Vector's flyin' even if you shouldn't fraggin' be able to, like me.

I didn't know I'd gotten it, and suddenly I was just... hoverin' in the blasted air and then up. Tried to get down, decided better wait.

[Well, he tried to get down, fell, slammed into a spire and then clutched at it. But he's not going to say that.]

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

[He winces instinctively at the crushing sound, but then manages to put on a straight face.]

I suppose congratulations are in order.

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

... I'd rather have some condoleances 'cause I wasn't lookin' for this, slag it all!

[Cliffjumper huffs, scowling. No, he's not pleased about this little boon. At all.]

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

It isn't a bad change, however. You'll probably enjoy flying when you get used to it.

[neverputincharge]

[Thanks for the laugh Cliff. He needed it after this week. He's straight faced and neutral when the feed comes on, though.]

Suddenly glad I'm with Solus. At least she keeps me grounded. [In more ways than one, evidently.]

[cliffjumper]

[Wow, rude. YOU'RE WELCOME.]

Yeah, thanks for remindin' me. [Huff!] I'd hoped I wouldn't ever get to whatever point Blurr was at when he got his ability, but no luck apparently.

[neverputincharge]

[At least he's not laughing with the feed on? He's got a little more respect than that. Unless you're somebody he doesn't like, then you're fair game.]

In all seriousness, though. You alright? Need a medic? [He assumes people are already on the way, or got him down already.]

Yeah, sometimes it can be surprisin' when they show up. Though flying oughtta come with a warning.

[im_wavin]

Oooo Looks like fun.

[Of course you would think it was fun Ravage....]

[cliffjumper]

[That? That is a groan.]

This is the rustin' opposite of fun! This ain't like jumpin' on couches, Ravage, and I'd rather keep my feet on the ground.

[im_wavin]

Awwwww.... rly???
