Discovery - [Video, Unlocked, some private messages]

[The video opens in a very dark room, with a light shining around to illuminate various features of the setting a-la Blair Witch. It passes over counter-tops with broken glass and various tools, beakers, and dormant machines, then lights up what seems to be a transformer-sized lab-table in the center of the room, looking not unlike a dentist's

You know, sometimes your posts are kinda creepy.

[not_your_gun]

Trust me, the ad for this place said 'filled with technological updates.'

[He is unimpressed.]

[video]

[greasemunkygal]

And that includes decapitated wings. Classy.

[not_your_gun]

You'd think that I'd learned. The last one said 'roomy' and...it was correct.

257 rooms, to be precise.

Realtors appear to be master manipulators.

[greasemunkygal]

...Huh. Looks like you're gonna have to start takin' 'em literally.

Why're you looking for a new place, anyway?

[video]

[not_your_gun]

Not one new place, Mikaela.

Places.

Many of my Arena employees and fighters live in Zone 7. I'd like to give them somewhere...ah...less depressing to live in.

[video]

[greasemunkygal]

[That's...surprisingly...nice? Of him.]

Wow. Very philanthropic of you.

[video]

[not_your_gun]

Is it?

Its no different than what I was fighting for back on my Cybertron.

[And, you know, if he renovates things down in Zone 7, he'll have his own little personal kingdom there.]

[video]

[greasemunkygal]

A little bit, yeah. But that's a good thing.

[...Yes Magnum, she is...pretty intimately aware of what you were fighting for back on your Cybertron. She still has those memories.]

I know.

[video]

[not_your_gun]

I'm not evil.

[He remembers. You're one of the few he's shared those memories with.]

I just have a different idea of how life should be lived.

You...could come join me. Your rent would be free. Ever considered franchising?

[video] ...HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO SAY NO TO THAT ICON?

[greasemunkygal]

I know.

[She lifts both brows.]

Leave my shop? [Actually...that had been something that had crossed her mind, but with just her running the show it made it difficult to franchise out - who would she trust to run the shops? She was whatmade the place famous.]

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE

[not_your_gun]

Oh, you don't have to leave...

You just get a pair of assistants. One to manage each location. Then you go back and forth between them, for the hard jobs.

YOU DO THESE THINGS ON PURPOSE

[greasemunkygal]

[She’s silent for the span of several seconds, mulling over the suggestion.]

It makes sense.

[A lot of sense, actually. A second shop would bring in more revenue…]

I could look into opening a second one. Though I’m not sure if Zone 7 would be the ideal location. [Or if living there with a ton of Decepticons would be the best thing for her to do - she’d probably end up squished. Magnum tolerates her - not everyone does.]

Of course~

[not_your_gun]

It will be, when I'm finished with it.

[He can tell she's thinking about it. All he needs to do is provide the incentive.]

And you'd be the first body-shop there. Your choice of prime real-estate in the newest up and coming development in the Nexus. If you get in early, then you'll even get the business from the work-crews.

And myself, of course.

[greasemunkygal]

[This...really shouldn't be something she's seriously considering.

But - business wise, economically - it's smart. Really smart. She's stuck here, she's...not really planning on going home, to be honest...

It's a good move, financially.]

And...

When are you making this move?

[not_your_gun]

It won't be right away. It does take time to build a city.

[He laughs.]

All I need to know is if you'll be wanting to join me there. I could show you...what it will look like, when it is done?
