Track 5 [Action]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

[Miko slipped away from the hustle and bustle of the party at the bar, finally having hit a point where she couldn't hide her upset feelings. She made her way over to the junk pile and hid behind a few of the mounds where they were tall enough to hide her from anyone just walking by.

There she sat down and curled in on herself, starting to cry quietly. There were many things for her to be happy about, but all the stresses, of being away from home, having such a hard time with food, everything about Bulkhead's injury and losing Wheeljack had piled on top of itself and she couldn't keep it all in.

She tried to keep quiet but there was little chance that she would be able to stop crying now that she had started. There were tears running down her face and she knew anyone who just looked at her would know..]

(OOC: Feel free to have your character notice her leaving the party or wandering across her after a little while. Action is open to all (we can fudge time lines a little xD)

[Blurr didn't even go to the party. With all the new arrivals and dangerous things that happened lately he thought it was better to keep a close eye on the Lambda, and thus he went on patrol a few times every day. His Turbofox Frank tagged along with him, Blurr was trying to get him used to the Haven.

It was only because he was paying a lot of attention to his surrounding that he heard the soft cries and looked around.

"Miko?"

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

When she heard him call out she startled and looked up. Even so she couldn't stop the tears she kept crying, little hick-up sounds leaving her.

"B-Blurr? Um I... I..."

[raceme]

Uh ho leaking humans..no matter what, it is bad what they leak. Blurr moved to her side in seconds. Frank never saw a tiny human before, he was not moving closer just in case.

"WHAT is it? Are you hurt?"

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

"N-no, not hurt." She said trying to scrub her face clean of the tears on it, though it wasn't doing any good.

"I'm just... I don't know, I'm tired and upset." she finally explained.

[raceme]

"Ah...I understand. A LOT of _{things happened lately} I'm surprised you didn't had a short circuit sooner..erh..I eman...well..allwasverystressing."

Blurr sat next to her, talking softly and trying really hard to speak slowly too. "Do you want to talk about it?"

[youdiedagain]

[There was a ton of activity at the party, almost too much for Sissel to even comprehend. But...to see someone as...vibrant as Miko (Okay let's face it, she's definitely got the party-goer look) leaving, it's slightly worrying.

He hates to be a stalker, but he'll follow along to see what the fuss is abou-she's...crying?]

Is something wrong, little lady?

[He doesn't want to startle her by approaching too quickly...]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

[She startles visibly at he the sound of his voice, looking up from where she was curled up and trying, in effectivly, to wipe her tears away.just as she managed to wipe some away more took their place.]

N-noth- [A hick-up like sob broke her word before she could finish the denial.]

[youdiedagain]

[Sissel kneels down to her, eyes softening behind those sunglasses. Did something happen at the party to make her like this...?]

I don't like to leave little ladies crying their eyes out...

[He reaches into his pockets, searching for anything that could be useful. Ugh, why couldn't have died with a tissue or something.]

Here.

[He takes his tie off, giving it to her. It wasn't anything close to a tissue, but...it'd at least let her dry those eyes off.]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

[Having his tie handed to her flusters her even more then just being caught crying. She holds on to it for a moment just looking at it before looking at him.]

But this is your... your thing. [She couldn't remember the word for the object she was holding at the moment.]

I can't... I just... I'm....

[youdiedagain]

I think it's called a tie.

[That sounds familiar, anyway. He doesn't really remember.]

I guess so, but it has more use for drying your eyes than hanging around my neck, don't you think?

[tearsofsteel]

Albert had barely stuck his head into the party. There wasn't much time to really be socializing. But of course he saw some kid looking pretty bad...Albert wondered if he should interfere or not. Maybe just a small question to gauge how bad.

"Not enjoying the party?"

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

She startled when she heard the voice, looking up quickly and her quiet sob coming out as something more of a hick-up.

"N-no the party is..." She started, trying to wipe her face clean of proof that she had been crying. "it's fine I just... lots has happened and I... I..." Another hick-up sob interrupted any more words and her shoulders shook as she curled in on herself more, fresh tears making their way down her cheeks.

[tearsofsteel]

Oh jeeze...it's worse than he thought. Albert doesn't reach out to comfort her because probably the last thing she needs is some stranger bothering her. He should just give her a little advice and that's it.

"Yeah, everything happens so fast here." he nodded, "It's hard to keep up."

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

She doesn't know what exactly to say, after all being best friends with an Autobot meant that things always seemed to happen fast. A lot of it was what happened rather than how fast.

She hick-upped quietly as she sat there.

[tearsofsteel]

This is much worse than he thought. He feels awkward now. Should he go get or something or should he just leave her? Eventually Albert decides on both.

"Listen...I won't give you any lectures, but if you want something--like a blanket or something to eat, I'd be more than willing to get it."

[neverputincharge]

[The party was fun, and it was nice to get out. But it was still tiring. Bulkhead finally reached the point that he was ready to head back to Solus's temple. He let Optimus and Wheeljack know his intent, then went to locate Miko, since the human would probably want to head back with him. But after checking around the bar and rec center, he can't find a trace of her and nobody has seen her.

He finally heads outside to look.]

Miko? You out here?

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

[When she heard Bulkhead call for her she knew that she had to let him know where she was, he needed to know if he was looking. She had been crying for a little bit, but if anything she only felt worse, crying all on her own behind a pile of scraps and junk.

She got up and swiped her face clear of tears, hoping that they wouldn't show if she stuck to low light areas. Making her way around to where he could see her she kept her eyes down, and despite her efforts there was still a lot of proof of her crying on her cheeks.]

I'm here Bulkhead.

[Her voice was thick and sounded rough from the crying she had done.]

[neverputincharge]

[It only takes him a moment to focus in on her location once he hears her call. Only three words, but he could hear something in her voice. He slowly moves toward her, expression turning to worry.

She had been so happy earlier. Did he miss something? Did something happen? He can't help the feeling of guilt that rises in hi system.]

Miko? What happened? [He carefully maneuvers to crouch down once he gets near her.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

[His worry hurts almost worse then they crying alone had. She had wanted to avoid worrying him, since he had enough to deal with with just getting better. Still he has already noticed and she really couldn't lie to him about this.

When he crouches she moves toward him, seeking the closes part to grab hold of.]

I just... I... I love Cybertron and it's fun here but... I miss home and...

[She hick-ups a little and her tears start falling again, the emotional dam broken open by his worry and her own words.]

[action]

[winged_knight]

[As much as Wing is being socialable he's also keeping and eye on things. He is the designated bouncer for this bar, and keeping his awareness spread around to feel the ebb and flow of people's moods is a necessary thing. It's for this reason that he notices Miko slip out. Concerned, he follows, going quietly looking for her.]

[The soft shush-click of his footfalls announce his arrival: for all that he is quiet for a Cybertronian he is far from silent. He stops a few feet away, slightly behind the young girl, uncertain if she wants company.]

Miko...are you well?

[Wing knows that she's not, but a simple confirmation would preserve her solitude with no hard feelings.]

[action]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

[She heard the footfalls but didn't think too much about it until he said her name. When he did she jumped only slightly before looking to where his voice had come from.]

Wing...

[For a moment she had no real answer for him, she scrubbed at her face, trying to get rid of the tears, tiny hick-up like sobs breaking up her breathing. Every time she cleared her face more tears took their place, as if to make up for the loss and after the moment she stopped trying the futile effort.]

I don't know. I'm sad and I shouldn't be.

[action]

[winged_knight]

I'm sorry for startling you.

[He tilts his head, inquisitively.]

Sometimes that happens. Sometimes its many small things instead of one big thing. [...] Do you want company?

[action]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

I-it's alright...

[When he asks if she wants company she is about to shake her head, but crying alone wasn't helping and Wing is nice and... she ends up nodding.]

Please?

[inferiordude]

It's hard to not notice one of his favorite people stepping out in such a mood. It makes Soundwave's ember flutter frantically in worry, it really does. He hesitates, then sighs softly.

He goes after her.

"Hey, Rockout," he calls out to her gently. Soundwave sinks to one knee, offering his hands out to Miko.

"You wanna talk?"

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

She looks up when he calls out to her, her face already marked with tears, and a small hick-up sob making her jerk slightly. When the hand is offered she clings to it, climbing on and pressing her face against it to hide her crying. Even as much as she adored Soundwave she was over proud of her strong persona and disliked almost anyone seeing her cry.

"'Wave... I don't... it's so much to deal with. And I know I should be happy that I have both Bulkhead and Wheeljack despite everything but it's... it's still scary and it still hurts."
