Time seems to have slipped through his fingers somehow.

In the span of time throughout his wanderings, he's found himself edging closer to listen. Just to listen to the noise that echoes from the Badlands and into him. Everyone has their own brand of music. Without an outlet, it only grows and grows, and it is this song that he hears the most out of anything.

It doesn't occur to him what it might be.

But he is inspired, for all that it means. Soundwave has never composed his own music before, and he's hoping to start now.

Balancing a datapad on his lap, the musician sorts through scales and applies notes, his visor glowing to imply his intense concentration. In his hand, he clutches the device that Megatron had given him; it still has old entries to the network from Axiom, but it cannot upload anything.

It's sort of a nice comfort to have, someone who probably understands him more than anyone.

Shame he's dead. It's a shame a lot of people have come and gone.

Calm, calamity, calm, calamity...

Just like the war, only on a different front. But all told, Fortress Maximus can't...he can't turn this down as compared to a few other fronts, even with its chaos. It's a chaos he can somewhat handle, as opposed to being caught in the storm and helpless in its thrall.

He's done with that. Even the illusion of being able to chart a way through is something. Having at least a vague idea where to go...

...not that he knows where he is, now. Other than back there being the rest of the Haven, and this being...this being where to go if he needs a little more target practice than the scraps in its center. Not that there's always something out here, but hey, if there is - all the more reason to shoot it, right?

Though that 'it' up ahead doesn't look like a monster. Doesn't look like much other than a mech, at least, and as he comes closer...

"...the hell you doing out here?"

It's not friendly, but he hardly expected to find a Decepticon - specifically, this one - fiddling with devices out here. Can he even fight?

What.

What did he...

That sure is an odd expression on Fortress Maximus' face. It's kind of all scrunched up in one side, mouth half-open, perhaps gobsmacked...

"You...are one fragged up mech, mech."

Worst. Decepticon. Ever.

He just can't shake the idea that there's something else here. Something he's not seeing. That he's being...deceived. But...

Maximus shakes his head. "Looking for trouble," he admits, taking a look around. Because it sure as hell isn't going to come from this one...
warborn: (he's come so far to find the truth)

"Restless."

Since he doesn't have the highgrade to fall back on anymore, at least. Since he'd normally ended up being slagged a few hours of the day, he'd had to find ways to fill those hours...

Walking at least stretched his pedes.
warborn: (they just crack)

Singing and...gardening and...

That's a very flat look being given to you, Soundwave. Because really. Really? Really.

"I'm a soldier," Maximus snaps, more ticked at the suggestions than the concept of having hobbies. "I fight."

Painting?

Does he look like an artist?

"Doubt there's a Fullstasis table 'round here."

See, he has a hobby. Had. Been years since he played. Been years since...

"Been a while," he admits somewhat reluctantly, thinking back to the last time he actually...well, fought, and not for his life. Or...anything related to that. Pushing the thought away, he raises a hand, shielding his optics as he scans out. "Easier just to find something that deserves to be shot."

"Whatever." He was hellishly out of practice, at any rate. It'd take more than just a board to get him back in the game...so to speak.

But.

"...that an offer?" he asked, turning his head back to give Soundwave a skeptical look. Was he just doing everything he could think of to surprise him?
warborn: (so give me something to believe)

[personal profile] warborn 2013-03-08 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
He would, but...

"Do you even know how to fight?"

As much as Maximus wouldn't mind the exercise, though...

"It's a bad idea," he adds a moment later, shaking his head. "I wouldn't hold back."

And he'd rather not deal with the consequences of killing you, not right now.

Have a snort, Soundwave. "You really that interested in having your faceplate removed?"

A Decepticon is practically insisting he attack. Can't say that's happened before.

"You're assuming you're fast enough to dodge." Automatic banter; he doesn't even really think about it. Gives him the opportunity to actually think about /this/. True, it'd be nice to work off some stress...

But there's something sure as slagging weird about this. He's not sure how to take it. Trying to stall for a moment more, he shrugs once, intentionally unclear.

"...how do you know I won't rip off more than your plate?"

Because he's made it pretty clear what he thinks of Cons, bandanna wrapped around the insignia or not.
