Nothing Personal

[youhavebeenswindled]

WHO: Swindle and Kay
WHERE: Swindle's room
WHEN: Today!
WHAT: Swindle makes Kay work for her paint.
WARNINGS: Nothing at all

One might think that using an organic to handle some delicate material was a bad idea. Swindle, however, considered it to be a 'creative' way to step over some problems. His main problem being that he was lacking certain tools to get where he needed to go, and Kay was just small enough to do this for him. Better yet, Swindle made absolutely sure to emphasize how much this needed to be kept a secret.

He was aware that this girl was very well liked by others, and that injury to her would end badly for him, so he was busy taking extra precautions while he waited for Kay to show up. He'd given her the directions, she just needed to follow them.

When a girl wants paint, a girl works for it. That was Kay's mentality when Swindle broke the deal to her over the Link. If she wanted nice pretty paint for her walls, she would have to take up the job the salesman offered her. As long as it wasn't too dangerous, of course.

Unfortunately, Kay had a rather high bar for 'dangerous'.

Maybe that wasn't so unfortunate for Swindle. It meant she was ready to do his dirty work. Lacking proper transport, it takes her awhile to get to the temple, walking in slowly when she arrives. Liege's temple was one she'd only visited once, to see Four, but it still had a completely different vibe than Alpha Trion's. There were no windows, lakes, or hills...only mountains. It was pretty surreal for her.

"Hello?"

Which was why their deal worked out so well for both of them! Sure it wasn't exactly a fair deal, but what do you expect from someone named 'Swindle'?

He heard her just outside his door and quickly moved to open it. Being fairly cautious, Swindle wasn't the type to leave his door open or unlocked. What he was working on was fairly frowned upon by Autobots after all. The door slide open with a click and Swindled greeted Kay with an energetic smile.

"Ms. Kay! It's a pleasure to see you here, I was beginning to worry that you got loss! Please, come in. I got some of that fizzy sugary drink that you organics favour so much, it's over there if you want some. We'll be here for a while, so try to get oomfortable!"

That energetic smile was contagious, Swindle. It seems to make the girl burst into a grin as she stands there, giving a slight wink. A hand moves to her hip as she strides in, taking a look around his room really quick.

Wow, this was the complete opposite of hers... There was...stuff IN it. In all essence, she was kind of jealous. His looked LIVED in.

Even if half the stuff were probably weapons of mass destruction.

"Hey, we can't all drive to where we want! And this is up in the mountains. That makes it even harder, you know!"

Soda? SODA. She immediately gravitates towards the drink, grabbing some in a glass and taking a few sips. Hey, he said make herself comfortable. She'd be RUDE not to take him up on that offer.

Yes, there were a lot of weapons in here, though not a lot of it was obvious to someone who wasn't familiar with Cybertronian or Vok weaponry. To an earthling, it simply looked like Swindle's room was filled with a bunch of pointless junk. Which was a perfectly fine assumption for Swindle.

"Ah, where are my manners! I should have come to pick you up, I do have an earth alt-mode after all."

Again, he appreciated and was amused by her boldness. Many people would feel shy about accepting an offering, and she just dove right in.

"I've always been curious about why you humans enjoy this heavily carbonated drink. Is it because of the taste, or because it's so bubbly?"

[littlecrowgirl]

That was true, while Swindle did have a LOT in his room, it didn't really seem to have a purpose. At least not to a normal person. Not that Kay was normal but...c'mon, at least get some beanbag chairs or something! Liven the place up a bit!

"You do? Well, a lot of you guys do I guess, that's not surprising..."

She would have liked a ride, but it's rude to ask...or so she's learned with Perceptor. She saved a hand to show it was okay as she took a sip. Mmm! Swindle got the good stuff.

At that last question, her eyes shot up to him, smiling widely. "A little bit of both! Without the bubbles it's just syrupy water. Without the taste it's just bleh."
