Meanwhile, elsewhere...

*The Decepticons' old underwater base had been rather quiet as of late. With the truce in place, everyone seemed to prefer hanging around in Autobot City or some other such location. For his part, Echoshift saw no reason to leave behind a perfectly good set of personal quarters and go through the bother of moving all his assorted belongings to an ( Read more... )

Duskwing vanished from sight as soon as he turned the corner and drifted back to his old room--the one now being used as Echoshift's surplus storage bin. As he passed through corridors and compartments and bulkheads, the ghost Seeker noticed the rather run-down, abandoned look of the base. There was something forlorn about what had once been such a busy, lively place becoming so empty.

Here Megatron had hatched the plots that had finally gotten the Decepticons back in power--for a while--and had brought energon and life back to Cybertron. He'd been part of that, until his little mistake with Slog. (Not to mention bigger mistake in heisting the energon in the first place). No thanks to the Autobots; if had been left up to them, all Cybertron would have quietly seized up and died with the last drop of energon.

It just wasn't right for the place where so much had happened to be so lonely and forgotten. Duskwing came back to his old quarters out of habit whenever he was on Earth, but of late it had been very depressing. Only flying had ( ... )

*While Demolishor enlarges their quarters, Snowcat is sitting in one of the monitor rooms watching television. His feet are propped up on the console next to a few cubes of energon and Snowkitty is sitting on his lap.*

Humans need to reorganize. They've got Star Trek on the sci-fi channel and nothing funny on the comedy channel.

*he pokes a few buttons as he channel surfs, hoping to find something amusing*

Invisible and intangible, Duskwing drifted through the crew deck, and found another compartment that looked inhabited. More than inhabited, and more than one--there were two compartments, currently occupied and being remodeled.

Both ground-pounders, and neither familiar to Duskwing. They were both Decepticons, though. One was busy remodeling, and the other one was watching the video feeds in the nearest monitor room.

Duskwing materializes behind the one watching TV; suddenly Snowcat has company in the formerly deserted room in the form of a large dark blue and purple Seeker.

"Hey, you're new, too. Who are you and when did you transfer in?"

Re: I've been here all along, really! icemasta December 9 2006, 06:45:23 UTC

*Snowcat jumps and his cat leaps onto the console. He tilts his head backwards to look at the mech behind him* Snowcat, and I didn't. Who the heck are you?

Re: I've been here all along, really! stupidityinblue December 9 2006, 06:52:44 UTC

Duskwing stares at him blankly, then a puzzled frown slowly crosses his face.

"Then how'd you get here? An' the name's Duskwing."

Re: I've been here all along, really! icemasta December 9 2006, 06:54:50 UTC

*Snowkitty yowls loudly. This mech has no smell!*

We moved in. What's your excuse?

Re: I've been here all along, really! stupidityinblue December 9 2006, 07:26:26 UTC

Not only does this mech have no smell, the temperature in the room is dropping.

Duskwing stares at the yowling cat. "Where'd that come from? What is it?"

After staring at the creature in rapt fascination for a few minutes, Duskwing lifts his gaze back to Snowcat. "I had quarters here."

Re: I've been here all along, really! icemasta December 9 2006, 07:32:54 UTC

*Snowkitty hops back into Snowcat, mewing nervously. He's a bit more intelligent than other cats, having spent a good bit of time under the influence of the Nexus. Snowcat cups the cat in his hands* He's my Decepticat. Name's Snowkitty. And if you had quarters here, you haven't been using them.

Re: I've been here all along, really! stupidityinblue December 9 2006, 07:52:19 UTC

Duskwing gives Snowcat that blank stare again.

"I don't use 'em when I'm not here! Hey, you ain't the slob who moved into my quarters with me, are you? I don't mind a roommate, but it's my room, not a garbage pit, you know?"

Re: I've been here all along, really! icemasta December 9 2006, 16:47:14 UTC

*Snowcat taps his foot on the console, switching it off* If they were yours, they're not anymore. And it's only messy on account of we're redecorating.

Re: I've been here all along, really! stupidityinblue December 9 2006, 23:31:59 UTC

The dark blue and purple Seeker scowls at--whatever Snowcat is. Duskwing isn't certain.

"You mean I gotta get re-assigned? Who's in charge of that now?" Duskwing throws up his hands in disgust. He stopped suddenly. "Hey, you the guys that are tearin' out the walls? That ain't my quarters. Mine's over in C-section."

He frowned. "But maybe I better get things straightened out official-like. Who do I see about it?"

Re: I've been here all along, really! icemasta December 10 2006, 00:14:42 UTC

Go see Echoshift. He's more or less head of this place. *Snowkitty paws at his windshield, and he puts the cat inside his recharge compartment* And me and Dem are second-in-commands.

Re: I've been here all along, really! stupidityinblue December 10 2006, 00:33:19 UTC

Duskwing frowns. "I know him! He's the guy that was re-programming the base computer. I was complaining at him about someone movin' into my room--he didn't say nothin' then."

Duskwing shrugs. "Ah, I'll go bug him again. Later."

Duskwing wanders out of the room and disappears again.

Re: I've been here all along, really! icemasta December 10 2006, 00:36:28 UTC

Should have gotten his name. *shrugs and goes back to watching television*

Re: I've been here all along, really! stupidityinblue December 10 2006, 02:13:09 UTC

(( Duskwing continues being confused up here ))
