oo2 ★ TIME FOR SOME INFO GATHERING

[electrowhipit]

I guess that's one way to put out a fire. I can't say I really appreciate being left in the dark, though. [ there's a soft thud in the background ] Ow. Fraggit, who put that table there? I need a... what is it? Portable light thing... oh flashlight. I wonder if we have one...

Um, anyway. Speaking of being in the dark... I keep hearing things about this milkman- which is a ridiculous name, by the way- but I'm only catching bits and pieces. Someone wanna fill the new guy in? It sounds like he's got quite the history.

Oh, and Sideswipe? We need to talk.

Because I work there.

Oh for-- Right. Good behavior and we get back what's rightfully ours. I get it. You know what this is? This is a detention center--

... and what do they define as "misbehaving"?

[electrowhipit]

Really?

... And I'd say trying to level the town counts as "misbehaving". With all the power this place seems to toss around, body or no, Starscream might be just as stuck as us.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Yes, really. You think I'd make that up?

So destroying this place may be out... but what about us? Does he know we're here?

[electrowhipit]

I wouldn't put it past you.

Well... I haven't exactly made an effort to conceal my presence.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... I'm sorry about the wall thing? Happy now?

Start. I could outrun a jet in... normal circumstances... but if he finds you, I doubt I could get there fast enough like this...

[electrowhipit]

That's-- yeah. Sure. I'm sorry about the closet thing.

You do the same. Either of us aren't much of a match for him right now.

... I suppose the only thing we've got going is he doesn't know what we look like.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... All right.

Jolt, between the two of us, you're honestly the one I'm more concerned about getting into trouble. You do have a history.

Which is almost a shame... You know, if he weren't... Starscream.

[electrowhipit]

I do n-- ookay, I do. I'll be careful, I promise.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Good. I'm holding you to that.

... found any lighting equipment yet?

[electrowhipit]

Uh, Harley found some candles. It's not much, but at least I'm not tripping over my own feet.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... I'm not sure if I like the idea of you being surrounded by fire.

[electrowhipit]

I'm not gonna burn the house down.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... uh huh. Of course not.

[electrowhipit]

Your faith in me is truly touching.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

I'm teasing you. Relax. You'll be fine with your lovely wife looking after you, I'm sure.

[electrowhipit]

I will admit it's nice having someone around who knows how human houses work.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Oh rub it in.

[electrowhipit]

Maybe I can give you a crash course one of these days.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

I'll figure it out on my own, thanks.

[electrowhipit]

Oh, I'd almost pay to see you trying to figure out the stove.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... I could do it, and you know it.

[electrowhipit]

You'd set something on fire.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

I would not.
