Hey, Soundwave.

Would you happen to have a few minutes free?

[locked to Wing]

Wing, could we talk?

[later | locked to Breakdown]

Dude, I've got some stuff to talk to you about, whenever you're free for it.

[She's laughing as soon as he starts, because hey, it's a triumph.]

Thank you, thank you! Judicious application of both witchcraft and bitchcraft, what can I say? Besides---like I said---it gets better. You saw the signed copy; it's his own oil I had Dirge sign it in. You ever hear the phrase 'sympathetic magic,' seen something with Knock Out that maybe had voodoo dolls in it?

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Yeah, I’ve heard of that sort of stuff. So you’ve basically got what you need to make a Dirge voodoo doll?

[10_20_15_5_50]

Not exactly, but I've basically got what I need to whammy him harder than I'd be able to otherwise and it works on the same principle. I'm pretty pleased.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Whammy him?

Thought we learned that didn't work. [No, Breakdown, she can't hurt him, but the doesn't mean she can't do other things. Remember the taste thing?]

[10_20_15_5_50]

It's kind of an umbrella term---and yeah, yeah, I can't actually injure anybody who isn't flesh and blood, but that doesn't mean I can't hit him where it hurts.

[There's a satisfaction there---a sort of satisfaction, to go with the sort-of smile audible. Even someone like Sam has her sharp edges.]

If I can take his taste away once, I can do it again, and I know that for a fact. Touch, maybe; sight, for sure.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[Smirks] Remind me to never frag you off.

[10_20_15_5_50]

Ch, I don't think you could unless you tried, and you never seemed the sort.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Ha! Bet I could, but I'd be a fool to try.

[10_20_15_5_50]

[Have her best Mona Lisa smile.]

I may be little, but I'm mean.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[He barks a laugh.]

Woman, you’re downright evil when you want to be.

[This doesn’t bother him at all.]

[10_20_15_5_50]

[see this is friendship]

Just playing to my strengths.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[He laughs] What? You’re deceptive charm?

I should name you an honorary Decepticon.

[10_20_15_5_50]

[Sam laughs in turn, tossing her hands apart.] I was thinking 'patience' but what the hell, 'deceptive charm' is good, I'll take that. Might as well. Can't talk my way out of what I've behaved my way into. [She shrugs, folding her hands.]

Oooh, resume-builder.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[He chuckles and shakes his head.]

Maybe best you don’t add that one to your resume. Dirge is a Decepticon too.

[10_20_15_5_50]

Pch, if I'm ever again needing to use a resume, it'll be in dealing with someone who's never met the guy. Pretty sure if I was dealing with someone who knew him, 'I'm the witch,' would work well.

It's the worst-kept secret, but I ain't even mad.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[Okay, that just makes him laugh.]

Sounds like your resume is perfect as it is.

[10_20_15_5_50]

Come to think of it... [She considers a moment, then shrugs, nodding.] It actually is pretty good. Or would be, if I needed to put it out.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

See, I almost wish you had to, just to see what you'd be applying for.

[10_20_15_5_50]

Oh, crisse, I can't even say. Maybe the library, cause that wouldn't be half-bad? Before I was here I was working in an art gallery and part-time at a tattoo parlor.
