Magnum was, as usual, heading for his office before the start of the evening's matches. Weeknights were usually quieter, but it picked up towards the weekends, and he always liked to check the lineup to see if anybody 'good' had signed on. Sunstreaker, for one, he liked watching, or liked rigging the match-draws to make it harder on the Autobot for Magnum's own enjoyment...

And there were the occasional human contestants who were capable of kicking a mech's aft before he'd even had time to try and step on them...

But tonight seemed to be pretty laid back, especially after Magnus's show a day or two ago.

Blackout was heading for Magnum's office, too. To help make his office safe from fetishes, with the special anti-fetish spray Starscream had given him. Maybe Starscream wasn't such a bad mech after all?

Yeah, right. Copter loved everyone, but...he'd make an exception for Starscream. Not cool to call a Copter dumb and stuff. Like...ALL the time.

He rounded the corner, feeling a little excited thrill. Magnum would sure appreciate it! But it totally had to be a surprise.

"Oh!" Oh...fr--rrrrench toast. Magnum! Blackout jumped, guiltily, the lights blinking off and on. "I mean like...Magnum, sir! Nice, erm, night...and stuff?"

"It might be."

Magnum had to admit he was a little surprised to see Blackout in this area of the Arena; for the most part, the Malgian was a good employee, arriving at work on time and breaking up fights before they started. He was more than a little dense, but intelligence was not in the job description and, honestly, he'd met worse.

Not much worse, but worse.

"Where are you heading?"

Blackout was aware that he was, well, busted and stuff. The timeclock was down the hall, the maintenance facility behind him.

Uhhh, think fast, copter! Gotta get inside Magnum's office to spray the anti-fetish spray. Blackout totally didn't want Magnum to get that scary virus. Watching Magnus go through it had been...weird enough. Copter couldn't handle it if his other idol got all gooshy and stuff, too.

"I, uh...wanted to ask the little birdie a question," he said, stalling his large aft off. "He said you could find him. So...like..I could just wait here for him...or somethin'."

...(and then duck into the office for The Surprise!)
