Decepticon High Command Aerie - Praxus[]
<<Decepticon>> Deathsaurus says, "You're one brave femme, Ghost."
<<Decepticon>> Omen (Raven) says, "Stupid femme."
<<Decepticon>> Ghost says, "hush you."
<<Decepticon>> Combaticon Vortex sings to himself "Truck may be the...Motormaster, but I'm the... Rotor master.."
<<Decepticon>> Ghost says, "Lucky more than brave, Deathsaurus. That could have turned out far worse. As it is, I now know exactly what the business end of one of his weapons looks like."
<<Decepticon>> Deathsaurus says, "Nasty isn't it?"
<<Decepticon>> Ghost says, "Well designed. There was no weaponsfire exchanged. Simply words."
<<Decepticon>> Hand of Shockwave, Arachnae giggles, "Rotor master?"
<<Decepticon>> Deathsaurus says, "Did he threaten you?"
<<Decepticon>> Ghost says, "Of course he did, I asked to touch him."
<<Decepticon>> Combaticon Vortex says, "Oh hi there sweetspark"
<<Decepticon>> Omen (Raven) says, "Stupid femme."
<<Decepticon>> Deathsaurus says, "I almost had Cerebros listening to me a year ago"
<<Decepticon>> Deathsaurus says, "then he figured out I almost killed star saber and took offense to that."
<<Decepticon>> Ghost says, "Well he came looking for me, of all people today."
<<Decepticon>> Deathsaurus says, "huh. weird. what did he want out of you?"
<<Decepticon>> Ghost says, "To not analyze what I saw"
<<Decepticon>> Deathsaurus says, "course you're going to."
<<Decepticon>> Ghost says, "And oddly to answer questions I might have had.. If I didn't analyze the data."
<<Decepticon>> Hand of Shockwave, Arachnae says, "So, rotormaster what are you up too?"
<<Decepticon>> Combaticon Vortex says, "Sadly..nothing. Are you really the hand of Shockwave?"
<<Decepticon>> Hand of Shockwave, Arachnae laughs, "Not literally. It's a title. Hand Hand."
<<Decepticon>> Combaticon Vortex says, "His hand has a title? Thats a little pretentious but...okay. Is it the one he hugs Swindle with?"
<<Decepticon>> Combaticon Swindle yells something unintelligible but probably horrifically obscene.
<<Decepticon>> Combaticon Vortex says, "well I wasnt going to insinuate /that/ on a public frequency but..."
<<Decepticon>> Hand of Shockwave, Arachnae giggles. "It's a title, not an actual body part. Well he has a hand but I'm not literally his hand-hand. It means I do things in his name."
<<Decepticon>> Hand of Shockwave, Arachnae says, "he's hugged Swindle?"
<<Decepticon>> Combaticon Swindle says, "I'mmakillyouVORTEX!"
<<Decepticon>> Combaticon Vortex says, "eeevery day. and now im not really saying where I am hahahahahahah"
<<Decepticon>> Combaticon Swindle says, "Ohhhhhh....*slightly manic laugh* Ohh, Texy, Texy, Texy...*you* might not wanna tell me where you are, but I can always ask Bruticus."
<<Decepticon>> Hand of Shockwave, Arachnae says, "I don't entirely believe you. Hugging isn't logical."
<<Decepticon>> Combaticon Vortex says, "He wont tell you either. And yeah thats not logical. Stop being illogical Swindle, Shockwave doesnt like that."
<<Decepticon>> Combaticon Swindle growls
<<Decepticon>> Combaticon Vortex says, "He will not find you *snicker* attractive if you.."
<<Decepticon>> Combaticon Vortex says, "Onslaught..Brawl...anyone seen..."
[Con-Tapes] Omen grumbles, "Buir mirsh solus"
Subtitle: Creator is an idiot.
[Con-Tapes] Soundwave says, "Ghost. What happened?"
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "Holy Primus what? Oh. Hello. Nothing bad?"
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "I might have.. gotten distracted by something large and touched it."
[Con-Tapes] Soundwave says, "You....went up to a titan and..what information did you get?"
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "Well, the ring? Doesn't block that one. And he looks different. There was a moment of triple code threads before I locked up."
[Con-Tapes] Soundwave says, "You asked him questions?"
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "I asked if I could touch. There wasn't much discussion after that. A threat and he left."
[Con-Tapes] Soundwave says, "Did you get his code?"
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "Enough to know that I can -see- it."
[Con-Tapes] Soundwave says, "Excellent. If you got in. could you easily get out."
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "I think I'd have to hardline. It's -different-."
[Con-Tapes] Soundwave says, "It's a good thing. I don't want you getting lost in there. I know how it can be with titans, especially ones you cannot block."
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "Well I have no plans to go poking about that one. Just tested, now I know to avoid."
[Con-Tapes] Soundwave says, "Good, I was worried"
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "I'm avoiding them all as best I can right now. Just another name on a list."
[Con-Tapes] Soundwave says, "Good."
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "How are you doing today?"
[Con-Tapes] Soundwave says, "I am fully functional and yourself?"
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "Fully operational and lonely. Well, fully operational outside of a few bites. Omen was not pleased."
[Con-Tapes] Soundwave says, "It's about time I leave medical. Maybe we should meet up?"
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "Well here? I'm in Praxus. Or anywhere. I'd like to meet up."
[Con-Tapes] Soundwave says, "Praxus works. Would this be a date?"
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "Not sure. Are we doing anything date-like? I could see about a movie.. And I do have an assortment of treats."
[Con-Tapes] Soundwave says, "What sort of things can make it a date night. I can bring some engex and we can listen to the stars...a movie would be good"
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "Well.. We could sit atop the aerie here, there's an access deck for the comm relays. I'll bring treats, you bring the engex and we could just watch the sky for a while."
[Con-Tapes] Soundwave says, "Sounds like a plan. A date."
[Con-Tapes] Ghost says, "A date it is then. I'll see you here"
Decepticon High Command Aerie - Praxus[]
Soundwave has arrived.
Ghost has set up a spot atop the Aerie where some of the access walkways cross over. There's a view overlooking the mines and the city, a spread out groundcloth, another and a ragtag collection of cushions she's commandeered. A few small boxes of energon confectionaries round out the sad little rooftop picnic.
Soundwave comes to the Aerie, carrying some aged bottles of engex. He sees the setup and sighs. "You spoil me." He says softly. "This is fantastic."
Ghost looks over, sensory finials shifting alertly. Optics brighten and she smiles as she shifts a cushion on the pile. "Well. I thought if.." tone sliding nervous. "If we were out here and.. It seemed like a good idea.. I." She trails off, "You deserve a bit of spoiling."
Soundwave moves close to Ghost and takes her hand to kiss it. "As do you, my dear." He says. "You are beautiful in the starlight."
Ghost smiles, stepping closer to rest her head on his shoulder, "I'm glad you came."
Soundwave strokes Ghost's wings softly. "So am I. I wouldn't have missed this for the world."
Ghost smiles, leaning to press a kiss to his mask. "Have a seat, get comfortable. We can relax and watch the city lights together, listen to the night."
Soundwave moves to get comfortable, looking over at Ghost as he returns the kiss through the mask. "I love spending time with you like this."
Ghost settles down on the groundtarp, shifting some of the cushions about before peering at Soundwave. She pauses, shifts wings, then curls up next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder. "I'm glad. I've realized how much I love this time with you too."
Soundwave strokes along Ghost's back, kissing the top of her head. "You are my treasure. I am so glad we found each other. The universe seems happy that we are together. It is like..destiny."
Ghost shifts wing panels to layer so she can remain tucked to his side. A settling ex-vent, "Kismet? It did take a lot of things happening to get us to talk.. or.. see one another I suppose." She turns to kiss his mask again, offering a smile, "Listen with me?"
Soundwave tilts his head a bit. "Yes, of course." he returns the kiss. "Let us listen to the night." With that he relaxes, letting the night sing them a lullaby.
