Event!

[avoidingfights]

[It's a fairly nice day, so Sideways has pulled himself out of the Autobot's base to enjoy it. Besides, a little sun and fresh air never hurt anyone, did they? His solar panels are flared out, but rather than observing the area, he's eyeing his arm. A long-shafted red arrow is sticking out of the tire on his wrist. He looks up when someone giggles

I'm a bad person sometimes :3

[decepretender]

[She hasn't seen Sideways since their last encounter, but that didn't mean he had escaped her notice. She'd been tracking him, and it had taken her a while to find him (seriously does he ever leave that base), but today her hard work paid off.]

Fancy meeting you here, 'Ways.

That's okay, I am too. Wanna carpool in my handbasket? :>

[avoidingfights]

[He thinks he's almost got that arrow out... at least, until he hears her. He jerks and the shaft snaps off in his blunt claws. He drops that bit to shift out his gun almost automatically. Improbably, he doesn't shoot her. Well, at least everyone else is apparently gone.]

It's Sideways. Here I'd've thought you'd have moved on to tormenting someone else.

of course :3

[decepretender]

[She lifts a brow, then smiles at his reaction, showing perfect teeth.]

My, 'Ways, you're awfully jumpy. [She takes a step closer, peering up at him with a blank expression.]

That was silly of you, now that arrowhead is stuck in you. How uncomfortable.

[avoidingfights]

[Why is it he feels so small around the only one he dwarfs? He scrambles back as far as he can go, wings banging against the wall.]

It-it's not so bad. Just a tire. It'll... work itself out. [Please stay back D: ... Even if you're pretty. Where the frag did that come from?!

[decepretender]

[Because it's Alice.]

Are you sure? You should let me help. That's what we Decepticons do for each other, isn't it? [Alice? Stay back? HAHAHAHAHA. She comes closer.]

[avoidingfights]

[Decepticons? Help? He lets out a reedy laugh.] You've got a real funny definition of 'help', Alice. I-I'd really like t'just... Let this work itself out, but thanks for the offer.

[Having no farther to go back, he moves sideways instead.]

[decepretender]

[Hey they do in weird ways okay.]

Oh, come on. I'm not going to hurt you. [She steps closer when he moves Sideways, reaching to drag her fingers down a metal plate. See, she's being friendly!]

[avoidingfights]

Like you didn't the last time? Like he didn't the last time?

[Admittedly his engine kicks on in a purr when she does that, but he twitches away anyway. You freak him out D:]

[decepretender]

Now now, that was nothing personal. Have you ever tried to go against Soundwave's orders. Those results aren't pleasant, you know.

[Well that purr was mighty interesting. She lifts a brow, closes the gap he's created, and does it again.]

Now let little Alice here help you.

[avoidingfights]

Oh yes, t-telling me I'm... I'm more useful as parts and then... that's totally not personal! [Since October, he has grown sarcasm. Oh FML .__. He squeaks, jerking to the side and trying to wave her away.]

I'm fine, really.

[decepretender]

He told you that. [The waving doesn't deter her, instead she reaches for him, so she can get the arrowhead out. Give me that :|]

You will be when I'm finished.

[avoidingfights]

Yeah, and you're his pet and you just sat back and watched. [He twitches, trying to keep his tire out of reach. Like a little kid trying to keep the remote away from his big sister. No I'm not giving you, it's my injury 8|]

[decepretender]

[She rolls her eyes - he's being so difficult. She's going to just climb on him and grab at him herself. Give!]

What would you have had me do, hmm?

[avoidingfights]

[Agh, people climbing on him D: Though it's not like he can stop her.]

I don't know, maybe not let him nearly kill me.

[decepretender]

[It's totally okay, Sideways. She's 'petting' you as she goes.]

As if I could stop SOundwave, even if I wanted to.

[avoidingfights]

[Much as he's purring (what, it feels nice), the petting makes him nervous.]

Which you don't, because you'll do anything for him, won't you.
