[Bored Seeker is bored. Who knew peace could be so . . . dull.]

[Thundercracker can be seen idly itching at the magenta glyph on his shoulder before he realizes his communicator as finished warming up and is transmitting, at which point he makes himself quickly drop his hand. ~~Is it just the video quality or has the color gotten just a bit more vivid?~~]

New world - well . . . new in this reality. Most of it unknown.

I'm going to go exploring later today. Anyone want to join me?

[Frankly, he'd prefer fliers, but at this point, he'll take anyone.]

What? You aren't keeping entertained with all the exciting things going on?

Guess I missed the memo.

Unless you mean the scrap with Alpha Trion's book pages.

Have anything going on you care to let me in on, Starscream?

[Not that he's expecting a positive - either Stars having something or letting TC in - but he can ask.]

Don't go into the badlands and ticking off Megatronus is more amusing than it should be.

Heh, dare I ask how, exactly?

It's like pestering Megatron 2.0.

This I have to see sometime.

I'll be sure to invite you over next time I bother him.

Heh, be sure that you do.

Any area in particular? [She's not looking to get stuck in the badlands, but there are places in the Haven she hasn't really seen, yet.]

[Excuse him while he stares for an instant in suppressed shock. A femme Seeker!? Her design is strange - very slim and rounded - but still unmistakeable. Primus, how long has it been since he's seen one? He thought they'd all been killed! Or . . . well . . . right, right, alternate realities. He recovers from his surprise quickly and just shakes his head.]

Not really. Wherever hasn't been much covered yet.

Name's Thundercracker, by the way.

Thundercracker. Not a bad name. [Remains to be seen if he's anything like her brother. She'll try to let the staring slide, this time.]

You staying in a particular area of the Haven? 'Cause Casa de Nexus has a stellar view of impact craters. [Yeah, because she lived in Detroit long enough to pick-up some Spanish loan words.]

[If it helps any, he has no real interest in her. Not "like that" anyway.]

I take it you've met another with the name before?

[Pit . . . not that it hadn't occurred to him that they must exist out there somewhere, but he'd...really been trying to avoid thinking about the weirdness of other versions of HIMSELF.]

I've been staying at Alpha Trion's temple. Mostly because that's where I was offered a room when I first arrived.

...Casa de Nexus?

[English he learned on necessity. He's not bothered to pick up any other human languages. Despite how close to the Mexican border he's been for so long.]

a Thundercracker? You could say that.

So, Alpha Trion's place is the one with the lake? [She's uncertain whether she's right about this.]

Nexus. His place. House. All due respect to the beliefs of the locals [which is not much to her] I'm not exactly into the whole temple thing.

[He snorts at the last.]

Can't say I blame you.

Impact craters, huh? And yes, there's a lake not far from here.

It's like the big bot invites them or something. [That's the rumor, anyway.] but, I guess it means there's valuable rocks or minerals or something, if one's into that sort of thing.

You're over near those steam vents and hills. They don't exactly have weird petroglyphs or signs in burning letters to label the ground you fly over. [She's flown over most of the Haven, but that doesn't mean she's connected the various areas with specific FirstForged, yet.]

The area with the canyon, or chasm, with the platforms and bridges belongs to Vector Prime. It's not a bad place to practice maneuvers.

Scientist types maybe. Unless there's ore to be smelted for building materials.

True. I'm going to be working on some cartography, though. I'll check it with Alpha Trion when I'm done, then post it on the network. That should help.

Yeah? Huh. I haven't done any real combat practice since getting here. Let me know if you want a partner to spar with.

Do some cartography, it'll be helpful.

Planning on it. Any areas in particular?

You're welcome to join me if you'd like.

If you do that BE careful with the badlands ^{Sir vector} told me there's demons and monsters in there.

[Give him an instant as he replays the mechs' words, slowing and parsing them a bit. He's getting better at doing so quickly at least?]

Yeah, I've heard. Though frankly, a good fight would probably do the spark some good.

[He hesitates an instant before asking.]

...how are you doing?

[It's okay, Blurr is used to waiting for others to catch up or repeating himself.]

As LONG as that fight doesn't end in slaughter...but if you want to train I'm sure some mechs here will be more than happy to fight with you.

I uhm...[Oh surprise question!]....more or less fine.

[He can't help the faint, wry grin.]

Yeah? You offering?

...sparring's not a bad idea, though, in all seriousness.

["More or less" - he supposes that's about as much as to be expected. He nods.]

If you ever want to get out somewhere...

I'm not equipped for fight I WAS made for speed SO we could train only in a you-try-to-hit-me-and-I-dodge sort of way.

[Well considering all the crap that happened to him this last weeks it was an accurate reply.]

Are you asking me out?

We could do that. I have tagging-laser attachments for my rifles.

[As a veteran soldier who’s been at war for far too long, and one who was never really interested in relationships even before that, the innuendo of the question goes completely over his head. Ever the practical one, he just nods with a shrug.]

Sometimes a change of location is good for the spark. Especially if you’ve just been through a rough time.

[Blurr doesn't like the sounds of that.]Ohnice

[It's not like Blurr knows all that much about relationships but Thundercracker is being so casual about the whole thing that it's confusing him.]

I did but...[But you might be trying to trick him to kill him :|]
