[from here]Yomi's plan had been simple from the beginning, simple enough that acting on autopilot would make no difference

[OOC: I didn't have to change much after all ^^;]Starscream strolled into the bathroom rather nonchalantly, the club balanced on his shoulder as he swept the room with his light. There was the flesh-creature, staring at the fixtures, probably assessing the situation and figuring out how she was going to get at anything without a weapon or tool of some sort. The walls were slick with... something, certainly not mildew, but the Decepticon paid it no mind; he already had an inkling of what MIGHT be lurking in the pipes, and if that were the case... well, the less time spent on it, the better

Lockdown nodded in the girl's direction in a slight acknowledgement and then went over to a sink to start looking it over. There were some exposed pipes under it, which the bounty hunter figured would be a good place to start.

The bounty hunter knelt down on the floor and used the blunt part of his axe's head to bang on the pipes repeatedly. After about four or five strikes, the thing finally came loose. Lockdown's triumphant grin faded instantly, "What the-? Oh, yuck!"

Some kind of disgusting liquid spewed out from where the pipe had been.

… Was she supposed to be worried? She cocked her head at her wounded bird’s choice of words. As a young woman, was she supposed to be bothered by the night, the task at hand, or being outnumbered by two big, strong men?

Yomi’s smile was strange, quickly smothered by the dark. Ha. If only they new how brittle her composure was after everything.

He was better armed, though she felt both of them wouldn’t be a problem to put out of commission… But being quick on the draw never helped anybody. Less so when she was going up against the odds.

Surprised at Lockdown's exclamation, Starscream turned his head toward the quickly escalating mess and laughed heartily. "Guess I should have warned you about the 'surprise' hidden in the pipes, eh, bounty hunter? At least you know better for the future!" He continued laughing maniacally - and stupidly - as he raised the thicker end of the cudgel, grasped the branch with both hands, and brought it down hard against the faucet. The fixture came loose easily, allowing the pipes underneath to similarly shoot forth their strange contents. He quickly pocketed the metal, then smashed off the faucet handles and stowed them before he came into too much contact with the liquid.

...it's not hot this time, he thought quietly to himself. Indeed, the liquid was a bit more viscous than when he'd previously encountered it, but the small bit that landed on his hand didn't burn him as he'd expected. The human girl was now wading in the sludge, unscrewing the loose pipes that Lockdown had managed to dislodge, without even flinching. I should have
