Day 38: Lunch

Jan 14, 2009 10:50

Soubi was beginning to feel the effects of a busy morning on a tired body. To make things worse, they were serving Tacos and Burritos. He could really do some with something a bit softer today. Blander. But it was hardly his biggest concern right now ( Read more... )

Blitzwing just smirked at the Maximal's attempt at a threat. Depth Charge plainly didn't trust him (a point in his favor, actually) but was desperate enough to give out the information anyway. The description, however, made Blitzwing blink.

"So you're the one who made that post on the bulletin board?" he asked, astonishment making his voice drop back into a growl. He'd noticed it, but not paid it any mind, beyond checking with a nearby nurse to make sure his optics were not, in fact, green. He was suddenly glad for his foresight; there was a world of difference between deliberately getting involved in Depth Charge's little vendetta, if the opportunity came up to twist it to his own ends, and getting pulled into it without his knowledge. Being mistaken for the Maximal's X could have been anywhere from a nuisance to an actual inconvenience, depending on whether Depth Charge actually was as good as he thought he was, but either way Blitzwing was glad to have dodged that laser blast.

"Subtlety isn't exactly one of your strengths, is it?" he asked a trifle irritably, and without irony.

Depth Charge raised an eyebrow slightly at that. That was rich coming from the 'con. And he was so unsubtle that the message had passed right under Blitzwing's radar without setting off any alarm bells? Not that he particularly minded; if anything, it was the best sign he'd had all day. If Blitzwing hadn't realised who was behind it, there was a good chance that X hadn't either, and right now any kind of advantage was a plus.

"I'm as subtle as I need to be." he answered smoothly. To be honest, though, the word hadn't been in his vocabulary until now; the path of destruction was usually obvious enough to keep him on X's tail, he'd even been kind enough to leave a slagging energy signature to follow when things got tough, but here? Things were a little trickier. "Yeah, that was me. And before you say anything, I'll let you in on a little something: I got a bite."

There something about Depth Charge's tone that set Blitzwing on edge? Was the Maximal actually daring to be smug with him?

"You mean someone actually agreed to meet with you?" he snarled, changing his mind halfway through and trying to pass it off as a scoff. "How do you know it's not a trap?" After all, he'd hardly exchanged a handful of words with Depth Charge when the message met up; just because he hadn't recognized the Maximal, didn't mean no one else had.

"That's what I said." Depth Charge answered, meeting Blitzwing's semi-aggressive sneering with off-handed calm- but even he couldn't control the eager, almost proud undertow in his voice. "And I don't give a frag if it's a trap. If someone's figured me out, chances are they're a Pred and I can use 'em to find X anyway."
