Ever feel like you were going to have a great day only to actually have the day go down the drain? A guy comes back from the dead and would like to live in relative peace, you know?

At this point I'm ready to throw my hands up in the air and let Primus take the wheel because I certainly have no control over my life.

Good times, good times.



( Locked to Cybertronians )

Several things guys and I don't feel up to messaging you all individually so here we go.

Ratchet: I know we're on to hang out, but I kind of need you to pick me up. Otherwise? Have I told you lately that you're my favorite medic in all the universe?

Rodimus and Megatron: Need to talk to you guys about something important. Actually, I need to have a talk with just Megs too, but also a separate conversation with both of you. Privately.

Starscream: I don't care which one, but I need a favor and the sooner one of you loudmouths can do it, the better.

So where is this cane I need to retrieve?

text

[taselikeabee]

My room. Obviously.

text

[aerospacecommander]

If you trust me to go in there, then sure. Where am I taking it?

text

[taselikeabee]

There's really nothing of interest in there and you know it.

Bring it to me at the Observation Deck. I might still be here for a bit.

text --> action

[aerospacecommander]

Yeah yeah. Be there shortly.

[Sadly Bee is right and there is nothing interesting in his room. This disappoints Starscream a great deal because there is nothing of importance to get into.

Except the cane. Which is mildly interesting and Starscream might mess with it a bit until he accidentally shocks himself. Which oohh boy he's not doing that again. And never telling anyone that happened. Ever.

He comes to the observation deck as originally stated though he's still a bit miffed at Bumblebee for one of their previous conversations. How dare the little yellow Autobot poke at him like that.]

[ of course, by the time that Starscream gets there, it's obvious why he needs it.

Bee isn't leaking or anything like that, but he's definitely not pristine. there are a few dents here and there, but the majority of the damage? his leg.

regardless of the damage, he flags Starscream down. ]

action

[aerospacecommander]

[Well, that's certainly a thing. The kid looks like he got pummeled a bit and Starscream wonders who he picked a fight with. Hmm. Interesting.

Approaching he twirls the cane in his hands once before stopping nearby.]

Is this what you call 'nothing happened' ?

action

[taselikeabee]

[ Bee frowns and holds his hand out, expectantly. ]

No, I said I didn't do anything which is a valid and truthful statement.

action

[aerospacecommander]

It sounds to me like your dodging. So what really happened?

[Instead of handing over the cane Starscream uses it to lean on. Come on Bee. Spill it.]

action

[taselikeabee]

[ hmmm. there has to be another way around this. ]

Are you sure you want to use up your favor already?

action

[aerospacecommander]

Oh no there's no way that counts as repayment of the favor you owe me.

[Damnit now Bumblebee is making him more curious. What happened. Why won't he tell him. Now he must know.]

action

[taselikeabee]

Asking for information that could be classified as 'sensitive material' constitutes a favor being repaid.

[ now the little shit is just grinning. ]

action

[aerospacecommander]

Oh I get it. You're embarrassed.

[Go on and grin. Starscream still has his cane and isn't moving to hand it over.]

action

[taselikeabee]

[ casual shrug. ]

Not really. Just... It's really no one's business.

action

[aerospacecommander]

You underestimate how relentless I can be when I want to know something.

[Regardless he stands up straight and lightly tosses the cane to Bumblebee.]

action

[taselikeabee]

[ he reaches out to get the cane, but fumbles with it. oops. ]

Yeah yeah. So you've said on more than one occasion.

action

[aerospacecommander]

[...]

[Really? Really?]

[Starscream looks to where the cane fell and then back to Bumblebee.]

Looks like you have a problem.

action

[taselikeabee]

[ LOOK. HE IS SITTING ON THE GROUND AND YOU'RE BEING A BUTT. ]

I have a lot of problems.

action

[aerospacecommander]

[Starscream is always being a butt.]

Also an easy target. Technically speaking.

[Yeah he's just standing there not moving to help Bee get the cane again.]

action

[taselikeabee]

[ oh that's fine. Bee will just have to ask Ratchet and tell him that Starscream refused. it's all good. ]

Oh I'm aware. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

action

[aerospacecommander]

With that smart mouth of yours I sometimes wonder how aware you really are.

[Starscream is possibly a giant hypocrite.]

action

[taselikeabee]

I'll consider that high flattery coming from you.

action

[aerospacecommander]

My coming here at all should be considered high flattery.

Re: action

[taselikeabee]

Yes, I am flattered. So very flattered indeed.

action

[aerospacecommander]

Is that sarcasm? Careful you might hurt my feelings.
