Part patrol, part pondering [OPEN]

[notyourblueangel]

WHO:  Thundercracker and anyone
WHERE:  All over Haven - no, really...he's a fighter jet, he can get from end to end in minutes if he wants
WHEN:  This week, spans several days
WHAT:  Someone's out trying to keep himself busy . . . and maybe his mind a little quieter than it's getting
WARNINGS:  Only if you bring any
NOTES:  Don't forget to add your tag to the log.   ^,^  also HAHA I suck at log starts sometimes.  x,x


Thundercracker's out and about, usually airborne - he's a Seeker, what would you expect? - but often landing as well, especially if something, or someone, catches his attention.  It's just that things have been . . . quiet around Haven lately.  Too quiet.  And he's getting restless because of it.  What's that human saying he heard on television a few times (give him a break, it was the Stunticons who always had the thing going) - "It's always calmest before the storm", or something like that.

Why can't he shake the feeling that something's coming?  And where are the First-Forged?  When will they be returning?  Will they be?  Or has whatever they went off to deal with overpowered them?  And what about those . . . those demons he encountered months ago.  Yes, they still plague his recharge sometimes.

Other things bother him too, things he can't quite pinpoint - or just can't quite face.  Like that fact that he's nearly asked his roommate if he'd like to be trine with him.  More than once.  He doesn't know how Starscream would take it, though.  Or Cliffjumper, for that matter.  He's not afraid of the little Autobot - that's a laughable thought, even - but he doesn't want trouble, either.  He finds himself wanting to approach Wing too.  For old times' sake, or whatever.  And . . . and Jadewing.   Because the sparkling Seeker is probably longing for his trine even more than Thundercracker is.

Right now, though . . . he'll take just about anyone's company.  If only to help get the wheels in his head to quit spinning ceaselessly.

If Thundercracker isn't too distracted with his thoughts he'll becoming aware of another jet craft rising up to meet in him the sky. The jet pings TC private comm, so as not to have to yell over the wind and roar of engines as they soar through the air.

::Mind of I join you?::

Another day, another flight. Not that there was much else to do around here when you weren't part of some group. Which Jadewing wasn't. He'd at least stopped sulking about it after his conversation with Wing, but he still wasn't sure what to do about it.

He did a lazy loop before realizing that he wasn't alone in the sky that day. Having nothing better to do, he changed course a bit to intercept Thundercracker, sending him a standard ID ping as he approached, then opened a comm channel. "Mind some company?", he asked via comm.

If Thundrecracker would rather be alone, Jade would respect that, but he missed flying with others. And had been meaning to ask if Jadewing would let him unofficially join in on his patrols anyway. There just... hadn't really been a good opportunity.

Even company in the form of an oversized jet that comes diving past from far up, literally tearing past?

Though when Jetfire noticed he just dove past someone, he braked, turned up around and caught up.

::I apologise for that. There's few enough aerials around here you can get... ah, sloppy.::

Rose is also out on patrol herself. Though she's down on the ground riding her motorcycle rather than flying through the air. She's letting her firelizard, Charmer, take the areal route as means of scouting.

The said firelizard chirps excitedly when he spots Thundercracker, thus drawing Rose's attention to him. She uses the comm on her Link device to contact him privately.

"How are things looking up there?"

While Drift had been getting a lot out of his recent training sessions with Wing, he still ended up wandering off on his own to practice by himself. He'd even picked a favorite spot for it, somewhere a bit secluded and quiet, somewhere he could practice his kata without interruption. The sound of the jet overhead broke his concentration, though, and he mentally kicked himself for letting himself get distracted. Tch, he could do better than that. Still, he had been out here for a couple hours, maybe it was time to wrap it up anyway.

Upon looking, he was fairly certain it was Thundercracker up there. Drift wasn't sure if the jet could see him from his position, but he offered a friendly wave all the same. Come on down and chat, dude.
