[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.]

Wouldn't say no to that. [He grins then, and it doesn't matter that Wing would be larger or probably stronger - when has he ever let something like that stop him?]

As long as ya don't decide to get up in the slaggin' air durin'.

[He gives CJ a lopsided grin.] Why not? You can fly now. [yes, he poking fun.]

... [Wow you just had to point that out didn't you? Cliffjumper huffs, and then snorts.]

True. Gonna be a while before I've got control of this stupid thing, though.

Re: [Video]

[knight_light]

[laughs] All right, fair enough. We'll keep things on the ground until you master flight. I'm sure you'll catch on quickly.

[cliffjumper]

Good enough for me. And hopefully I will, if only 'cause I sure as slag don't wanna end up floatin' away or droppin' towards the ground willy-nilly.

[Which was a very real issue with this "gift".]

Re: [Video]

[knight_light]

I've no doubt that won't be a problem for long for you. Stick close to people who can fly until you do, though. Better safe, you know.

[cliffjumper]

[Huff.]

Might just start carryin' my jetpack all the time, since that'll at least give me something as a failsafe. [Sure, both Blurr and Starscream are around, but that doesn't mean he want to have to rely on them to not have something unfortunate happen.]

Re: [Video]

[knight_light]

Probably couldn't hurt, at least for a while.

I'd offer flying lessons, but I've a feeling your new ability works differently from normal flight. [a shrug, sorry, at least he'd be willing to help if he could?]

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

Considerin' it ain't relyin' on anything like engines or slag like that? Yeah. Blurr's got the same ability though, so he'll help as he can.

[Shrugging, Cliffjumper grumbled quietly.]

Not that he didn't learn just by trial and error and havin' someone keep an optic on him, though.

Re: [Video]

[knight_light]

[Encouraging smile.] I'm sure you'd get the hang of it on your own too, but why, when you can have someone show you? [He sees nothing wrong with having a teacher.]

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

[He's just going to roll his optics.] Yeah, I suppose so. At least he can fetch me if somethin' goes wrong.

Re: [Video]

[knight_light]

[You're dealing with someone who is...what did Drift call him? Ah yes..."annoyingly optimistic". Sorry, CJ.]

It's always good to have someone to watch your back. Blurr is a good mech.

[cliffjumper]

Especially when ya get in trouble together. [Cliffjumper finally grinned and shrugged - they'd gotten in trouble together quite a bit since coming here, so he knew what he was talking about.]

Yeah, he is.

Re: [Video]

[knight_light]

[That makes him laugh. Why is he not surprised?]

It's been nice meeting you, Cliffjumper. [He hoped to see the minibot around again sometime.]

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

And maybe next time I ain't hangin' off a tower, even.

[Have a lopsided grin.]

Re: [Video]

[knight_light]

Preferably, I'm sure.

Take care.
