kismet_loop | [Accidental Video] Not entirely like the movies

[The feed comes on as Breakdown drives up to his and Knock Out's place. Knock Out is waiting out front, and it looks like Sam is sitting in Breakdown's cab. Instead of politely opening the door for Sam, Breakdown is a total aft and just transforms around her.]

[Knock Out had just been chillin' all chill and stuff, taking a sip from an energon cube when Breakdown rolled up. He started waving a greeting, but as soon as Breakdown transformed with A TINY PERSON inside of himself that wave turned into a kind of stupid looking flail and he choked on his energon for a second before just spitting it out. And then the yelling.]

PppPPTHHBREAKDOWN THERE'S SOMEONE IN YOU!!

[And some more yelling. Coming from inside Breakdown, it's a little muffled, but the words are clear enough, partially due to the volume with which Sam shouts.] What the shit!?

[Despite shouting, she doesn't sound distressed. Surprised? Yes, but not distressed.]

[Breakdown just looks smugly amused.] She's fine, Doc Knock. Right, Sam?

Yeah. [There's a pause, and then Sam speaks again, her grin unseen but audible.] Hey... you ever see that movie Alien?

[Since it sounds like Sam isn't squished, Knock Out relaxes. Well first he rubs at his face because GodDAMN you guys are going to give him a heart attack. Spark attack. Whatever. But then he relaxes.]

Alien? I think I made Breakdown watch that one with me. Why?

[Oh, Breakdown gets an ornery grin on his face then, shifting his chestplates, he makes an opening in his chest for Sam to see out. He even puts a hand up so she can crawl out.]

[Rather than climb out of the cavity in Breakdown's chest, Sam pops out partway, holding her hands clawed at shoulder height and hissing. It's her best imitation of a chestburster---and ought've been expected.]

[Oooh Sam, this is why you're Knock Out's favorite human. It takes him a second to get it, but when he does, HOOO BOY. He starts laughing his shiny little ass off. BRAVO, he is quite impressed]

[Breakdown cracks up too, doubling over and dumping Sam into his waiting hand. Yup, this is why he likes this human.]

[There's an inarticulate noise of dismay from Sam as she tumbles onto that hand, but she rolls onto her back to give the bots a thumbs-up.] I couldn't not, y'know?

[And so the feed ends, leaving the three of them laughing together.]

((ooc: Knock Out, Breakdown, Sam. Responses open to all.))

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He chuckles and lets his plating relax back into place.] Well, now I know you handle it well, I'll make sure you get another look sometime.

I like to think I handle most things well. I'll pick up a penlight; I'll be prepared.

[The little length of chain her rabbit's foot is on is filling up, with her peace-keeping medal and a big jingle bell (conspicuously quiet, as it's keyed to the ward on her apartment) on it, but there's room enough for a little LED keychain if she can find one for it.]

[He laughs again.] Doubt there's much to see in there.

[Her penlight comment was just in jest, but Breakdown's reply sparks an idea and Sam has to clap a hand to her mouth to keep from cracking up at it.]

What? What’s so funny?

Nothin'!

[Like that's anything but a BLATANT LIE.]

Ha! Liar. I know you better than that.

Ah, I know you know and you know I know you know. But! Whatcha gonna do about it?

[Look at this chipper little ass, Breakdown. Look, and understand: you've got no way out now.]

Normally I’d threaten to punch it out of you, but I don’t think that’d go over so well. And I doubt Knock Out wants to clean up the mess.

[And he’d really rather not kill you, Sam....]

Yyyeah, that's one course of action ruled right out. Guess you'll just have to suffer the suspense.

You better not be planning anything.

"Nothin'" is my story and I'm sticking to it. But, hypothetically, if I were...?

Guess you'll just have to suffer the suspense.

Oh, I'm in anguish.

[He snorts. You have his sooooo convinced, Sam.]

[just as planned]
