Transcript: afternoon, security station B

[giri_guy]

*Clean again on the outside, at least, Rodimus heads down to the security station in Metroplex's head. If this was a prank, it was bordering on not-all-that-funny and needs to be dealt with

*over the comm, faintly worried but doing her best to sound cheerful-* //Hey, Roddy, where'd you get to? You'll shrink if you stay in the bath much longer...//

[giri_guy]

*starts, optics flashing on and tracking around the room guiltily*

*replies quickly* //I - I'm out of the bath.//

[apprentice_lurk]

*doing her best not to sound concerned* //Hoo-flippin'-ray. I was about to send a search team in there, Raiders of the Lost Bath or something.//

*slight, almost hesitant pause* //Where are you?//

[giri_guy]

*weak chuckle* //I appreciate the thought.// *straightens slowly*

*hesitates, then* //I'm on my way back to my office.// *puts the aforementioned footage under triple security lock and erases all indication he'd ever been there before retroactively making the lie true*

*tilts head curiously in shadows outside security room* *pads quietly out of Metroplex's head; being inside people's heads creeps him out*

[giri_guy]

*sees him and has to stop himself from jumping out of his plating. Sign of a guilty conscience.*

[chromeplatedcat]

*swishes tail* *wanders off to look for mechamice*

[apprentice_lurk]

*thinks about that for all of a millisecond, then silently makes her way over to his office to wait for him. Persistant, yes, but also verging on worried. It wasn't her or any of the other Autobot City fangirls that did the doodles, so who in the heck did it? And why did Roddy sound so jumpy?

This has the potential to be Not Good, yes...*

[giri_guy]

*Rodimus has been able to shove his feelings almost completely back down by the time he reaches his office, and is only mildly surprised to see Dreadboots there.*

Hey, 'Boots. *smiles*

[seiberwing]

*peeks in, having followed Boots*

[apprentice_lurk]

Hey. *faintly worried smile, catching sight of Seiber behind her and giving her a quick half-smile, then looks at him and fidgets for a moment before bursting out* I didn't do anything this time, honest, I didn't even think about really doing anything-!

[giri_guy]

...!

*headshake* I - I know you didn't. I'm sorry I suspected you earlier, I know you didn't. I don't know who did. *It's not quite a lie, or so he excuses himself.*

*forces a smile* It's okay, 'Boots. No harm done.

[seiberwing]

*lets the Bulks (no offense, Boots) talk, and simply gives Roddy's leg a comforting hug*

[giri_guy]

*reaches down and gently pets Seiber in reassurance*

[seiberwing]

*smiles up at him in a cute minicon fashion. Rodimus is loved*

[giri_guy]

*Melting at this would be unmechly.*

...

*Rodimus does so anyway. But just a little.* ^_^
