[Someone has the best timing from wandering out of the badlands.]

I died, didn't I? ...Figures. I look horrible... If I did, what was the point in bringing me back? I'm not exactly worth anything. Seems like a wasted effort.

My processor is killing me. Don't... really know where I am right now. Not that it matters, I'll probably just end up dead again.

...

The planet's not about to explode and kill us all, right? It would be my luck to come back just for that.

Sorry.

[deadlydoctor]

[/le sigh.]

S'okay, I should be used to it.


Do you want to go for a drink and "celebrate" that you are back with us?

[dinnerdate]

I don't think that's worth celebrating, Knock Out... But I wouldn't mind. I can make your favorite.

[deadlydoctor]

[OHHHH!]

Really?

[dinnerdate]

It is my job... Sort of.

[deadlydoctor]

Great then. So you will be in charge of the bar again?

[dinnerdate]

If they want me to be the main bartender again...

[deadlydoctor]

I can't see why would they say no.

[dinnerdate]

I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

[This is him after all.]

[deadlydoctor]

Why don't you get your own bar?

[dinnerdate]

What's the point? I wouldn't be able to compete.

[deadlydoctor]

What's the point? The point is two bars.

[dinnerdate]

...





...




I don't get it.

[deadlydoctor]

[Somehow I am not surprised.]

What's so hard to get? Your own bar means that you don't have to be ordered around, you can do as many drinks as you want and we all get another bar. Everybody winds!

[dinnerdate]

But... Why would anyone even want another bar here? I already make whatever drinks people ask for.

[deadlydoctor]

To begin with, because you wouldn't have to worry about people ordering you around and telling you what to do.

The Haven is huge, even if you have a fast altmode it takes long time to cross it all to get to the bar, unless you are already close to Vector temple. And then there's this thing called economy and product variety...

[dinnerdate]

I doubt having my own bar would stop me from getting ordered around.

[KO you forget just how easy it is for someone to boss him around.]

I don't think product variety applies here, Knock Out... And even if I did get my own, where would I put it? It'll still be far for someone.

[deadlydoctor]

But it will stop you from ordering you around in a place that is yours. Who knows, perhaps you could be the one shouting orders for a change if you had employers.

[Oh, he didn't. Is almost what is KO doing right now.]

Not yet but we have to start somewhere, right? We will need currency at some point too, as this place grows. You can built it anywhere you like, except maybe Megatronus because no one likes his quadrant all that much and knowing him he might blow it up once he gets back.

[dinnerdate]

No one is going to work for a bot that eats people.

[He's not that dumb. And what's that about it getting blown up? That is a very good point there, allow him to build on that.]

It would likely get blown up no matter where I put it.

[deadlydoctor]

Then a) Don't eat people or b) Don't tell them you do. There's a little thing called privacy. You should try it one day.

[Or he can open the bar and work alone but that sounds boring. People is not actively trying to kill you Deads, stop with your paranoia.]

Why would anybody blow up a bar?




If it worries you so much, put it inside one of the temples.
I suggest Solus's. [Not biased at all.]

[dinnerdate]

Just about everyone already knows, remember?

And the universe hates me, that's reason enough...






Is this because you want drinks more often?

[deadlydoctor]

And look at that, you are still alive. They must not care as much as you think.

Can you cut it off with the self pity party?


No. [Maybe.] I can drink as much as I want when I want it. But you owning your own bar could actually help yourself and sure won't hurt us.

[dinnerdate]

I just got back, give it time.

...Yes, sir.

[By which he means no.]

Maybe.

[deadlydoctor]

You where here for a long time and no one tried to murder you!
Well I mean, no one with a glyph.

Don't be a smartaft.

[KO knows that tone, mister. He used it a lot around Megatron and Starscream.]


It could be fun too. Do you know that word? FUN? Do I have to spell it out for you?

[dinnerdate]

It's never too late for it to happen.

...Sorry.


Nothing's fun.

[What is this fun you speak of?]
