[ACTION: 5718 Cunningham Lane]

[Well, now that the Carnival business seems to be settled, what's there to worry about? Not much, from this Autobot's perspective.]

[Enough to where he's currently sprawled lazily in the driveway of his house, spraying off his wheels with a hose. It's not a power-washer, but it'll have to do. Plus, it sort of feels good, to get the grit and whatnot out of his tires.]

[Fortunately, he seems to be in a fairly good mood, occasionally spraying the hose up into the air, so, it looks to be a good time to approach the giant alien robot, if you so desire.]

[Luckily enough, it would seem Sideswipe is more interested in spraying off his tires than he is spraying anyone else.]

[... for the moment.]

Maybe. Depends on what you want... [He glances up.] Whoever you are.

[silver_reign]

Names aren't important.

-It's true!-

I've just been curious as to your technology. Clearly you're not from Earth. After all, you're clearly far more advanced than myself.

[stabbywheelfeet]

... Right. Of course not. How foolish of me.

[The sarcasm there is practically tangible.]

I'm clearly more advanced than a lot of things. Including my own kind.

[silver_reign]

-He makes a dismissive wave.-

More advanced than even your own kind? Hmm... that's rather impressive.

-He's made that statement once or twice before...-

[stabbywheelfeet]

I know I am. How pleasant of you to notice.

[silver_reign]

So, tell me. I'm not say it will happen, but if it does...

What will you do when you run into one of your own, that's more powerful than you are? Will you continue to boast about it despite the other still being stronger?


...


Or will you try to best them?

[stabbywheelfeet]

I'll kill them. Or die trying.

[He holds up a hand, examining it, and letting his blade unfold.]

Because, the only ones who I'd care to try and take down... are the enemy.

[silver_reign]

Ah. The enemy. Are you suggesting others around this town? Last I checked there's not too many of those... and--

-A small pause and an impressed whistle-

Nice hardware.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Not yet. They haven't showed themselves here yet.

[He just looks smug.]

Yes, I know it is. How kind of you to state the obvious.

[silver_reign]

-He looks thoughtful for a moment.-

If you want, I could easily make more statements.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Offering to toss compliments at me? How can I say no?

[silver_reign]

Well! Clearly, you've already shown me that you're clearly capable of taking care of things yourself! Now... how is it I haven't see any others like you? ... Are they scared?

[stabbywheelfeet]

Simple enough.

Jolt is shy and there isn't anyone else here.

[silver_reign]

Shy? Well, that's too bad. How do you two keep yourselves entertained in such a primitive town?

[stabbywheelfeet]

... Use your imagination. We're two young, stunning 'bots, all alone in a town with none of our superiors around...

[silver_reign]

Hm. Well, if you want me to think that way. I'm sure it's never a dull night.

[stabbywheelfeet]

No, it's really not.

[silver_reign]

-He can't help but chuckle at this.--

Well then, at least you have something to do during those long nights of boredom.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Or someone, in this case.

[silver_reign]

Well, yes. I suppose that would be the correct way to word that sentence.

-He looks thoughtful for a moment.-

... and no complaints from the neighbors?

[stabbywheelfeet]

I thought as much.

[He shrugs, looking around at the other houses.] If they put up a fuss, I've never heard it.

[silver_reign]

-He laughs at this.-

That means, you're doing it right.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Does it? And you would know that how...?

[silver_reign]

Well, ignoring them to complete your own goals! ... Even in... that sense.

I actually wouldn't really know. Since, I'm not you.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Not interested in... completing any goals?

[silver_reign]

Those goals are a little hard to do when you're the only one of your kind.

I suppose it would keep me from being bored all the time.
