Hey, Breakdown.

[Sam's tone is one he's heard before---the once before, when Knock Out arrived and no-one yet knew whether he was real or another imposter; serious and slightly apologetic.]

I'm sorry to be sort of springing this on you, but I have something important to ask.

Comments

I'm pretty sure most of the damage actually done was to my ego, but it's probably best to have that taken care of. I could try to undo it, but...

[lbr this is something Knock Out will probably prefer to take into his own hands since a) magic is weird stuff and b) magic is weird stuff and Sam can respect that]

[automobileenthusiast]

Thank you, dear, but I can handle this myself.

[YEAH HE'S IGNORING YOU BREAKDOWN except that he just came over with the buffer and he's nudging you towards a seat.]

I've been trying to wrangle this big brat into letting me shine him up anyway. I'd say this is the perfect time to put my foot down.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Hey, wait...c'mon now, Doc. [He's backing up, hands up, and a grin on his face. And is expertly herded for a chair. He'll plop into it when the backs of his knees hit the edge.]

[10_20_15_5_50]

[Pfft, these two. Sam laughs a little, crossing her arms.]

Oh, you guys are cute.

[automobileenthusiast]

We are, aren't we.

[NOPE NOT SHY AT ALL. he's just gonna poke breakdown in the forehead real quick]

And you hush, you're not getting out of this one.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[He just might make a rude noise at you, Knock Out. That cheeky grin isn't leaving his face, but he won't resist.]

[He does turn that grin on Sam.] See what I go through?

[10_20_15_5_50]

You are, and I do. No wonder you're so inured to sass.

[automobileenthusiast]

[KO just huffs and crosses his arms, turning away from breakdown and turning his chin up all dramatic like. He's joking of course BUT STILL. breakdown did you just make a mouth fart what noises did you make]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[If Cybertronians fart, then sure, he did. Careful, Doc, turning your back on him will earn you a poke to the aft, right side, just because he can.]

Giving up already?

[10_20_15_5_50]

[Though the loitering punk seems unsurprised, the children have had nothing to do with any of the rude noises now in Breakdown's repertoire. Nothing at all.]

Diva.

[automobileenthusiast]

[Knock Out jumps a bit at the poking, if only because they have COMPANY]

Breakdown!

[And sam gets a shrug. Yeah KO knows he's a total diva he can't argue]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[Just look at this innocent fais!]

What?

[10_20_15_5_50]

What d'you mean, what? I think he's right; you are a brat. And everyone in the room knows it.

[automobileenthusiast]

See? Thank you.

[don't make that dumb FACE Breakdown it's making KO make a dumb face too UGH]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[He laughs. That's all. Just laughs. He likes messing with his partner sometimes.]

[10_20_15_5_50]

You're quite welcome, even if I will admit 'it takes one to know one' applies.

[In other words? KNOCK OUT SHE IS ONTO YOU aaand not about to deny any accusations. It's too late for that; by now, both bots know better.]

[automobileenthusiast]

Honestly? I think we're all a little brattish here.

But Breakdown's the biggest.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Not my fault you two are so short.

[omg, Breakdown, did you just give a decent come back?! Well, to be fair, he’s not too bad at them when not in the middle of battle...or anger...]

[10_20_15_5_50]

[Sam snorts a laugh, crossing her arms.]

In the spirit of good sportsmanship I'll say we had that coming.

[automobileenthusiast]

[WELL Knock out's just going to pretend to be ALL OFFENDED]

Tch! I am not that short!

[he is that short.]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[Look at this innocent grin.]

Shorter than me.

[10_20_15_5_50]

Who isn't, though?

[automobileenthusiast]

Psh, there are plenty of people taller than he is.

[of course that means they're all taller than KO too but hey.]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Yeah, just not many here.

[10_20_15_5_50]

Don't worry, I'll tease them too.
