oo8 ★ LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN AGAIN

[electrowhipit]

[ One can find Jolt in his yard, surrounded by, and very possibly tangled up in, various strings of Christmas lights. He roots through the mess until he disentangles a strand- and with a careful application of a finger to the appropriate end, the lights flicker to life.

This strand is, perhaps appropriately, bright blue, and Jolt grins. ] Not a bad color, if I do say so myself.

[ He coils up the lights and sets them on the grass, then moves on to the next strand and repeats the process. ]

... [His face is sort of pressed up against the hood of the car, so his response may be a bit muffled. Still, there's a very definite affirmative there.]

[electrowhipit]

[ tugs on Sideswipe's shirt a little ] Get off of there before you smudge the bodywork to hell.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He... peels... himself off the car, leaning back against Jolt, still grinning like an idiot.]

Smudge your bodywork to hell for this...

[And as proof this body is still as flexible as his metal one, he reaches back behind him, and Jolt, to do just that. To the other's aft.]

[electrowhipit]

I'm not exactly oppos-- [ kjhdfds hi there Sideswipe ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Shall we test your engine now...? Or...?

[Leans back a little more.]

[electrowhipit]

[ loops an arm around him ] Are you asking me or the car?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Mm... take it however you want to.

[Still... staring at that car though.]

[electrowhipit]

[ he laughs, giving Sideswipe a little shove towards the car ]

Go on.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He saunters over to the driver's side, running his hand over the exterior the whole while. Opening the door, however... he raises an eyebrow.]

Well? Come on now. Get in.

[electrowhipit]

[ ohoho, heading to the passenger's side door and climbing in ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[Just... sits there for a minute or two, either absorbing the feel of being inside a car instead of the car itself... or plotting something.

And then he puts the key in, and fires it up.]

... Not bad. Not bad at all.

[electrowhipit]

[ Jolt is thinking the former... since the latter hasn't occurred to him. ]

Glad you approve.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

...

[Plotting something. Without any further warning... he punches the accelerator, and the car goes flying!]

[electrowhipit]

Whoa-! [ Should have seen that coming, he really should have ] If you get us pulled over, so help me...

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He just laughs - this is such a rush] They'll have to catch me first.

[electrowhipit]

[ chuckles slightly ] There's the Sideswipe I know and love.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[If anything, he laughs harder] Shall we see how this corners, darling?

[Just calling him that to mess with him, really.]

[electrowhipit]

Knock yourself out, just don't go crashing all my hard work, sweetheart.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Hold onto something then, dearest.

[He slams the car into a hard left, the rear wheels sliding crazily before it straightens out.]

[electrowhipit]

[ kfjdhdff he'll just... hold on for dear life ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[and then he's back to zooming down a straight road, as if nothing ever happened.]

Damn, I'm good.

[electrowhipit]

[ it's always kind of sexy when you say that--- I mean! Just along for the ride here. ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[Then it's a good thing he says it a lot, isn't it?

And after terrorizing Mayfield with that engine for a while longer... he'll turn to head back to the garage.]

[electrowhipit]

Well?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Well...

I think we need to discuss something, when we get back.
