A call to battle

[giri_guy]

*Rodimus Prime stands at the edge of one of Autobot City's top-level landing pads, fist raised level with his chest as if in salute. A panel on his forearm lifts away and he begins to speak, steady and strong

*approaches quietly, angling toward Rodimus; offers him and anyone else around him a polite bow before she speaks* Prime? I heard. *gaze flickers around and back to him* I want to help.

[giri_guy]

*hesitates*

Basi, it's going to be hard enough sending Autobots into battle. I don't want you to get hurt.

[thebasi]

*flicker of a smile* *wry* Neither do I. *tilts head, gaze serious, and pauses before she speaks* I can look after myself, Rodimus. Let me stay with you and fight.

[giri_guy]

*for a moment, Basi might see a flicker of weariness in Rodimus's optics - he's feeling the weight of the universe settling on his shoulders again, his inescapable giri.*

*It passes quickly.* Well, you know your limits. I'm trusting you not to do anything heroic. *grin*

[thebasi]

*and for a moment, something answers in her eyes - recognition, sympathy, regret, a kind of apprehension?*

*and looks up at him, all barely-repressed wry humour* Will you be setting a good example, by any chance?

[giri_guy]

*blinks, and a light goes on in his optics, twinkling merrily* Who, me? Nah, I fully intend to make a fool of myself and almost get killed. *teasing grin* Do as I say, not as I do.

[thebasi]

Mm-hmm. *gives him a mock-sharp glance* Keeping all the fun and mortal peril for yourself, huh?

*changes stance, hands clasped at her throat, sparkling hopefully up at him* Can't I have just a little peril?

(( Every dangerous situation needs a little Monty Python! :D ))

[giri_guy]

*mock-lofty* As leader, it's my sworn duty to keep everyone else from having any fun and/or mortal peril whatsoever.

Can't I have just a little peril?

*snrk* No, it's much too perilous.

((Anyone wanna take bets on how long it takes them to start going "Run away! Run away!"? ;D))

[thebasi]

*hands on hips* Ch. Oh, now he thinks he's special~ *eyes heavenward* *snicker* What other perks does your job have?

*snrk* No, it's much too perilous.

*pause* Hey, y'know, I think we got our roles switched. Aren't you more of a Galahad than a Lancelot? *smiles sweetly*

(( XD Dibs on being the bunny! Unless Cyclonus wants it. ))
(( And ah, yes, our side's secret weapon - slapstick and British comedy! *imagines pissing off Void with Monty Python acts* ))

[giri_guy]

My creator says I'm special. *grins broadly* Well, lessee... I get to visit exotic places, see exotic sights, and look ridiculous in a bow tie.

*pause* Hey, y'know, I think we got our roles switched. Aren't you more of a Galahad than a Lancelot? *smiles sweetly*

*snrk* Fine, you drag me away from the peril and I can mutter about your sexual orientation.

((*cackles* *hurls cattle at Void* Now go away or I will taunt you again!))

[thebasi]

...and look rediculous in a bow tie.

*surveys him, mock-thoughtfully* Hm. Yes, you certainly do. But I bet it's adorable. *snicker*

*snrk* Fine, you drag me away from the peril and I can mutter about your sexual orientation.

*blink!* *laughs, clearly and outright, quite possibly for the first time around him* I think ... you win that one. *still giggling*

(( Your muzzah was a 'amster and your fazzah smelt of elderberries! ... Or, the Johnny 5 version. "Your mother was a snowblower!" ))

[giri_guy]

*surveys him, mock-thoughtfully* Hm. Yes, you certainly do. But I bet it's adorable. *snicker*

*goes :P at you* Don't you start with the adorable stuff.

*blink!* *laughs, clearly and outright, quite possibly for the first time around him* I think ... you win that one. *still giggling*

*beams* ^_^

((XD))

[thebasi]

*giggle* But ... c'mon! Haven't you looked at yourself? *pratically has a halo over her head*

*is beamed at, and is therefore a happy happy Basi!*

[giri_guy]

*pokes you* Yes, and I still don't see what all the fuss is about. :P

*is a happy happy Roddy, so it all evens out*

[thebasi]

*is poked, and folds her hands at her throat again and looks up at him adoringly*

... ... ..... *is clearly going to hold that pose until she busts out laughing or something*

[giri_guy]

....

*splorfle* XD
