[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.

Hair, darling.

[silly breakdown. Knock Out just stands there looking super content, he hasn't had a Breakdown hug in a long time okay.]

Oh, and they all had these tacky little matching jump suits. Black with hoods and goggles. Couldn't tell one mook from another.

[They're... cute with each other. And (maybe?) more than just cute with each each? Thanks to a remark Jadewing made, Sam is aware Cybertronians do take lovers; thanks to Dirge openly contemplating her murder only moments before, the fact was one filed under 'yeah, okay'. But, about murder,]

Right, that's something for a start. Any distinguishing marks...?

[at least if you ever need to ask strangers if they've seen her, this one's easy]

I need to know so that you might know, in case he shows up and somehow manages to avoid having his arrival broadcast.

Edited 2015-04-18 02:13 (UTC)

Yeah...scar on his face. [He points a fat finger to his own face to indicate the spot.]

[NO I'M A REAL BOY]

mmn, yes. I suppose that's a plus. Strange as it all is, anyway.

Well, the last time I saw him, he had about nine all over his face. Oh, also he was just shoulders and a head inside of a shell that looked like this.

[he kind of motions with his thumb at breakdown.]

Wasn't as pretty, though.

Chin up! I've yet to see Rod Serling.

Though it would be kind of cool if he were here.

That makes things much, much easier... but I still have to say; shoulders and a head? What the shit. While I'm at it, maudit, mauzus, and marde. Moving on for distinguishing features...

[She'll look to Breakdown, and give a thumbs-up. Knock Out's aura looks like any Cybertronian's, which is to say its emotional aspects look the same as anyone else's.]

[That thumbs up takes any last traces of doubt. He smiles and snugs Knock Out a little closer.]

[Oh, FRAG no, he is NOT going through this again already.]

...no.

[He's going to just shut off the feed, but maybe not manage before Knock Out calls him out on his little "reply"?]

[Knock Out kind of doesn't get it but he kind of also doesn't care. He arches an eyebrow, but that's about it. He's too busy getting a snuggle.]

[YEP KNOCK OUT IS ON TOP OF THIS.]

Oh, thanks, that's a big help!

[IT'S NOT A BIG HELP.]

[Knock Out may just get an arched eyebrow in return, but Sam's smiling.]

There's been a lot tabled today... but the bottom line is looking good. I should probably go and let you guys catch up a bit better, cover more minutiae.

Thanks for comin', Sam.

[He's just glad to be as sure as possible that this really is Knock Out this time.]

[BYE SAAAAAAAAAAAM, Knock Out gives her a little nod]

Once i get settled in, you and I will have to get to know each other better.

[because movie pals]

[HIS SPARK, MECH, YOU'RE GOING TO RIP IT OUT. Oh frag, has Breakdown seen this yet? . . . doesn't matter.]

[He just . . . stares for a long moment. At first, hurt, anger, and grief can be seen . . . but then the mask is in place. No, not a battle mask, the "mask" that helped keep him alive all those eons in the Decepticons' ranks.]

[Hm. That's a place to start.]

Are you still a Decepticon, Knock Out?

[No judgment, he just...needs to know.]

Glad I could.

[She'll take a moment to get her shoes on again, nodding at Knock Out's assertion.]

I'm taking it to be inevitable, and, trust me, it's something I'm looking forward to.

Uh. No? Wait. Why? Who are you?

[WHAT IS HAPPENINGGGG]

You don't know the half of the weirdness this world can throw at us. Time works differently here too, too. Why you never knew I was gone, like how Breakdown is from a fight a long time ago.

[Yeah, it makes more sense if you've been here. He frowns a little.]

If you can believe it, I met the First Forged. Worked under Solus Prime herself for half a year at least.

...but they didn't make it to this Haven apparently.

Edited 2015-04-18 03:37 (UTC)

[Good, that hopefully tells him what he wanted to know. That'll make this easier.]

[Marginally.]

[FRAGGIT! Why does he care? You don't remember him, he's /not/ your friend, YOU don't care! But . . . he cares. He can't /not/. Because /he/ remembers.]

[You're the one who removed the brands from his wings for him. You're the only one he /trusted/ to do that for him.]

[He drags a hand down his face. All right. Start over. His voice is...a bit weary, but sincere at least, as he explains.]

My name is Thundercracker. I'm an ex-Decepticon myself. You're on a version of Cybertron that hasn't naturally seen our kind arise on it yet. However, there is one pocket of interdimensional activity on the planet, and you're now standing in it. You, me, and everyone else here. This place is a sort of a dumping point for people pulled from random times, places, even realities.

[He looks at Knock Out, studying him. Playing nice with humans? That is new...and returns a small pang of suspicion, but... not enough to make him let go.]

We'll see you around, Sam.

Oh, nice. Dumping point. That makes it sound really classy.

[He's a little exasperated, but since this Thundercracker guy is being nice enough to explain this shit (even if it makes zero sense), Knock Out tries to relax a little. Wouldn't want to seem too rude, after all.]

Well that's. Different.

[Hmm well then.]

...And you're sure you're not some kind of elaborate hallucination I'm having?

[Like you're one to talk right now, Breakdown. Oh and by the way Knock Out is totally grabbing your ass. Out of sight of the little human of course, but still.]

On the flip side, then.

[With that, she'll peace on out.]

[GENTLEMEN, AS YOU WERE.]

[Okay, optics going a little brighter, and a little smile touching his mouth. Now that's the Knock Out he knows...]

[He'll kind of tug his partner with him to let Sam out and close the door behind her.]

So...where were we? I think I was going to try to explain this place to you...?
