kismet_loop | [VIDEO accidentally on purpose]

[Why hello there folks, I hope you like staring at the backs of people's heads because THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING. It takes this little red mech a few seconds to realize that there's SOMETHING hovering behind him. he does this little half turn, lets out a SUPER MANLY (no) yelp and swats the thing out of the air, ending the recording.

But that's not all, folks. The camera blips on and off a few more times, catching Knock Out in various levels of annoyance, usually in the middle of either swearing or trying to shoo the thing away. Oh god little drone why are you here.

Finally Knock Out gives up and seems to have just accepted that he's made a new "friend". He looks exasperated as all hell when the little bugger starts recording him one last time.]

Fine, since this little drone seems hell bent on stalking me and recording it, I figured I might as well try to use this to my advantage. So, where am I and how do I leave? I was kind of in the middle of something.

[Knock Out pauses and glances slightly off camera, presumable at the drone itself.]

There, happy now? I swear, if someone come out here to blow me up because of you, I'm going to be very annoyed.

[Yeah, good thing he cut him off.]

Yeah Unicron. Dead seriously. Slagger's been causin' this world issues for as long as I've been here.

[YEP GOOD THING]

As long as you've been here. And just how long would that be?

[Except, you know...Breakdown can read you like an open book.]

How? ...And how long after...MECH?

[Well, he's taking this surprisingly well...]

Actually, I've got one in the works.

[yeah well SHHHHHHHHHHH]

It really wasn't very long after that. It didn't feel like long, anyway. Megatron sent you and Dreadwing out to scrap Airachnid because he was too important to do his own dirty work. Needless to say, it didn't end well.

[but yes Breakdown IS taking this pretty well. Which is great because that's kind of making it easier for Knock Out to talk about it.]

You know, I think you're my new favorite.

[Time lines...and the more they talk the more sure he is this Knock Out is real even without Sam showing up to give confirmation of any kind. He went through the whole "you're on Cybertron" thing before, but never got this kind of story from Knock Out...nothing even close to this...]

...scrap.

[He wants to ask more, but...] Your turn...[go ahead...as two, since he did.]

[Knock Out makes a grabby hand at Breakdown's hand. Shut up he wants to hold hands.]

Have you been okay here? And before you say anything, that totally counts as a question.

[That gets a little self-satisfied grin.]

Already? And I didn't even get to telling you it's Tremors.

Oh, I am so on board. Just the first one?

[That puts a smile on his face, and he'll easily take Knock Out's hand.]

Yeah...yeah, I have, actually. It's...weird here, but it's been...peaceful. Kind of a nice change.

Got another?

I can live with weird.

[He glances down at their hands, giving a little squeeze.]

As for questions, I have several, but... I think it just hit me that I'm not dreaming or something.

[This makes his smile grow a bit more.]

Yeah...this is real.

[He's alive and Knock Out is really here...]

Fraid so; the selection is a little lacking, since stuff gets dropped here the same way people do. We might luck out enough to get sequels sooner or later, and although I'll keep my fingers crossed, I'm wary of hoping too hard...

...even if Aftershocks would be awesome.

[And there's a knock at the door---down low.]

[WELL Knock Out was about to reply with something SUPER SAPPY, but it seems Breakdown has some company OH MY. He can't decide if he's annoyed or not but hey, he'll just sit and wait for Breakdown to deal with this.]

[Breakdown nearly groans...silently cursing Sam's timing. And while he's sure by now...well...wouldn't hurt to let her see him.]

Right back...

[He'll go answer the door now.]

Not to change the subject, but does everything really just happen at random like that?

[Sure enough, it's Sam, looking (and feeling) small in the Cybertronian-sized doorway.]

Breakdown, hey. I'm sorry if you were waiting. How's things?

[It's not like she wouldn't have a better idea with two minutes' conversation, but the big bot's aura is a little agitated---just a bit, which isn't indicative of another imposter... or an all-clear.]

[Brain break time?]

.....two years.

Not everything. Some stuff seems to tie to certain triggers---like special days---but a lot is apparently at random.

Better than I expected...

[He sighs and steps back motioning Sam in.]

Hey Knock Out...this is Sam.

And uh...you know that thing earlier I said I didn't want to talk about?

[He kind of does a totally adorable and dorky thing and taps two big fingers together, looking sheepish, perhaps a little guilty.]

Well...you see, you actually showed up here about two weeks ago, only...it wasn't you. Was some kind of...fake.

[That sick look on his face might give Knock Out and idea of just HOW BADLY that encounter messed him up.]

[Oh Knock Out remembers Sam, they'd had a lovely conversation about Earth movies earlier. He gives the human a friendly little finger wiggle wave, but doesn't say anything until Breakdown's done.]

A fake? Not to be crude, but I hope you splattered him.

[Knock Out understands bro IN FACT]

It was just some fake me, right? No little weirdo human stuffed inside of it? Because I've seen that before and it's actually kind of creepy.

[MY BRAAAAAIN]

But I just saw you!

Well that's inconvenient. How do you plan for anything?
