[Text /Video] Posted around midnight originating from Vector's temple]

[raceme]

[It's been a long and busy day, but all of Blurr’s days are like that. He usually doesn’t post to the comm unless it’s something important, but he’s been feeling weird since dawn and he wants a distraction.

At first, only text shows up. All the same message, repeated over and over again.]


All work and no play makes Blurr a dull boy.

[The post switches over to video. Blurr is on the highest tower of Vector’s temple, close to one of the platforms, and he's walking on one of the crystal-like cables as if it were a tightrope. For the curious, he got up there by running since there’s no other way to get to the top, unless you have wings.

Blurr frowns for a second before his lips curl into a grin and his optics flash. They look almost red for a nanosecond.]

Who wants to play with Blurr?

What are you doing up there?

[ASK A STUPID QUESTION]

[raceme]

[Aww Starscream, it almost sounds as you care.]

Admiring the view, of course. It's quite breathtaking. If we had to breath, that's it.

[ex_dishonestly997]

[well it's finally happened. All that stress has finally short-circuited Blurr noticeably.]

Are you just trying to test the response time of our medics to a fall from a great height? There are better ways.

[raceme]

[But he's only trying to learn how to relax and have fun, honestly.]

I have no doubts that their responses would come pretty....late. Why the question? You don't have faith on me? I've got this. Don't worry.

[Blurr takes a step back, on air, and when it looks like he will be falling to his death his hand reach out to grab the cable and Blurr swings with a 360-degree turn on one hand. He ends sitting on the cable, legs spread to keep his balance, smiling.] See?

[ex_dishonestly997]

Blurr! [and then he realizes he just interjected in an alarmed fashion and probably gave at least a hint of the fact that he gives-a-slag away.]

...Primus, of course I've got faith in you, but I've got wings, and you don't.

Look, if you want entertainment just--[he eyes that video warily, and then calculates] We can play something. You and me.

[raceme]

I got brains and skill, is more than some people here got. [He looks very interested all of sudden.]

Can we, really? I always wanted to fly. [Blurr stands up on the cable one more time, all his weight supported in his right wheel while he stretches the other.] How fast you think you can get here? Faster than it will take me to reach the ground if I fall?

[ex_dishonestly997]

I'm already en route, you little punk. [and the transformation noise is audible--as well as visible as the ground tilts and suddenly becomes the sky] Don't you dare fall off.

[He will be personally offended if Blurr scraps himself while he's having a serious Moment]

[raceme]

[Blurr chuckles at the name calling.] I promise nothing~

[No worries. Starscream will find him still very much alive, albeit doing a leg lift on the cable, once he arrives to the temple.]

[ex_dishonestly997]

[He comes out of jet form and lands against one of the spires, correcting minute difficulties with thrusters, turning to give Blurr an opticful at how risky he's behaving.]

Okay, you've made your point, now come over here.

[raceme]

[Blurr shakes his head and stands up, smiling.]

How much can I trust you? Let's see...[He takes another step back, on air, but this time his arm doesn't reach out for the cable. Catch him, please? ]

[ex_dishonestly997]

Hey wait a--[He doesn't have time to process, a lifetime of war and walking on edge serving him incredibly well as he leaps forward off the ledge and reaches to snatch the smaller mech out of the air, heel thrusters saving both of them from a pretty nasty fall.

Screamer's completely at home in the air, so he doesn't flip out as badly as someone else might--the dizzying look down is nothing to him, but the fact that Blurr might've royally screwed himself to see if Starscream would help him was...

...confusing. And not as unpleasant as it could feel, honestly.]

You must be crazy. What if I'd just watched you?

[raceme]

[This Blurr has strange ways to test other people loyalty, devotion and trust. He thinks it can only be tested properly in extreme situations.

Then it would had been a very brief show. [Blurr puts his arms around Starscream's neck.] I always wanted to fly.Landing....well, I never gave that part too much thought.

[ex_dishonestly997]

[he stares openly for a second at the arms around his neck, and then turns a little in the air to land against one of the end supports for the cables, bracing himself there balanced with Blurr in his arms. Or at least, what he thinks is Blurr.

There's only really one way to know for sure, and it's a little risky.]

Lots of freedom in the air, right? There's no responsibility. Nobody can tell you what to do.

...is that what you want? To have people stop trying to tell you what to do?

[raceme]

[But he liked to be on air! Spoilsport.]

Exactly. I try to get that running around but I'm limited by the ground. There's no limit on air.

No. I don't care what they say, I do what I must. [He thinks about that for a few seconds.] I want attention.

[ex_dishonestly997]

We can go flying, if it'll stop you trying to offline yourself.

I can't believe I had to say that.

[raceme]

Ohhh can we? [Blurr snuggles closer to Starscream, his head under the other mech's chin.]

There's always a first time for everything.

[ex_dishonestly997]

[he steps back again, closer to the ledge than the edge, making like he's going to carry Blurr down the boring way--and then pushes off forward, leaping out away from the spire again with only air between them and the ground a long, long way off.

Freefall for a moment, glorious beautiful freefall, with the velocity increasing perilously quickly before he kicks in his thrusters at the last possible klik to avert a permanent and brutal introduction to the ground.

It was odd, having him cradled there, odd but kind of nice.]

You name it and it's yours.

[raceme]

[Blurr loves speed! no matter the direction. He was surprised but it was a nice surprise and he let go a happy laugh. Even if he was not completely himself that laughter was genuine.] Oh that was good.
