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

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.

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.]

[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.]

[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]

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.

[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.

[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...?

Actually I think we were about to do something indecent.

[probably not]

But, there's one tiny detail I kind of left out earlier. That might be important. Maybe.

[He almost looks sheepish. Almost.]

[He lets out a dorky little laugh. He'd not be adverse to indecent.]

[But important information probably should come first.]

Yeah? What's that?

I uuuuuuuum. Kiiiind of joined the Autobots?

[UNSURE SHRUG?????????? don't punch him he's real okay]

[He does kind of jerk away a bit, looking at Knock Out like he's just said that the moon split open and said hi or something.]

You...what? Why? [Not....upset. Just...perplexed.]

Oh, convenience, really. The war was over, Autobots won, Megatron was dead, at least for a while. And... you weren't there, so there was really no reason to stay with the Decepticons. Plus Starscream was rude

[Wait....wait, wait, wait....he needs a moment to process this...he just kind of stares at Knock Out for a long moment...and...finally...gives a slow nod.]

That...makes sense.

[No really, now that he thinks about it, if the Autobots one, and Megatron is...well, clearly out of the picture?...then why wouldn't Knock Out switch sides? Assuming the Autobots let him.

I suppose sides don't really matter at all now, though.

[And he's going to be a total sap for a moment and moosh his face into Breakdown's chest]

As crazy as all of this is, I think I'm already happier here than I would have been back home.

[That puts a softness into Breakdown's expression that is rarely seen, and he wraps his arms around Knock Out.]

I'm glad you're here...for real this time.

[Knock Out is the only one that gets to see the dork face and he feels totally special]

I'm glad to have you back. For real this time.

[And not y'know Silas.]

[Can they just stand here and hug forever? Because he'd like that...]

[No. But they can try.]

Anyway. You had more to tell me?

[AND STILL HUGGING.]

Yeah...you've probably figured out we're in some other reality or dimension. [Or did he mention that? He can't recall.] And I've already said that Unicron is behind all the crazy stuff that happens here?

You'll probably find that people know you...if you haven't encountered that already too...

[He's got his arms around his partner...what else does he need to say?]

You...got any more questions?
