A Bit-Part Demon (or Human)

[redshirtrobot]

WHO: Fracas and YOU!
WHERE: The Junk Pile and Megatronus's temple
WHEN: Throughout species swap
WHAT: Hunting for food (and maybe a mask) and trying to keep out of too much trouble.
WARNINGS: n/a; will update as needed


Fracas's first reaction to being human was mostly horrible screaming at the fact that he was human... followed by horrible screaming that everyone could see his face. He wasn't ready yet, fraggit. He'd just gotten to the point where he was okay mentioning it to mechs that weren't from his universe at all so they had no point of reference.

Well, no way to hide it now. He just has to... deal with it. And deal with having to eat all the time. He needed to find some and while he knew there was a stockpile, he was more than a little hesitant to get around that many people like this. It was all so obvious. Out there.

Which is why he's spending a lot of time digging around the Junk Pile, fingers crossed that he could find something to eat for the day.

When Fracas isn't there, he's usually in Megatronus's temple. In spite of the fact that Megatronus's temple seems to be full of dangerous people, he felt safer being around Shockwave. Probably because he was. Shockwave was still him, after all. With the huge cannon and the giant guard-worm.

I am sorry for his everything

[raceme]

[Frank lost his mech-pet. It was mostly because now it was a human-pet, and Blurr was smaller than usual. Frank also got distracted by something shinny that turned out to be a food can.

His mech-now-turned-human-pet liked cans, he knew that because he helped him to find them in the junkpile every now and then, and later they brought the can to that place filled with humans and more cans. They put the cans with other cans and keep them together like they were something important.

Cans were really important, for some reason. Frank had a can. Frank cant' find his mech-now-turned-human. Frank is unhappy that his pet is nowhere to be seen. He knows that Blurr had to be around here somewhere.....OH!. Another human, perhaps he knows where his mech-now-turned-human pet went. Fracas trotted near Fracas and then jumped in front of him.]

Never be sorry this is brilliant

[expendablemechanic]

[Fracas yelps in surprise when something like a big dog jumps in front of him. Oh geeze please don't eat h- wait he recognizes this thing. Just... he was taller then. A lot taller.]

Wait, you... you're Blurr's turbofox, aren't you? Uhm... Frank, right?

[He thinks it's Frank, anyway. And Frank seems to have a can.]

Hey, what do you have there?

Blurr will show up shortly, I promise. Meanwhile you have Frank and his special way of thinking :3

[raceme]

[His ears perk up at the mention of his name. So this human knows him? Great. He can be his new human-pet.

Frank drops the can in front of Fracas and wiggles his tail, very proud of himself. The can is covered in some coolant fluid that looks very drool-like.]

YIP! [Can!]

It's so cute I can't

[expendablemechanic]

[Fracas dips and picks up the can, wiping the coolant off... and wiping his hand off on his pants. He grins a little. Who's a good boy, Frank is!]

Good job, buddy.

[And he is going to lean up a bit to pet Frank. He's not even sure what this will do, if anything.]

:3 He wants to be helpful, really

[raceme]

YIP YIPY YIP! [Ohhhh yes, he's a good boy. He is, he is...Frank wiggles his tail and presses his nose close to Fracas's neck. He loves pettings.]


...I am interrupting anything? [Blurr heard Frank yip and he came to find what was happening.]

he's very helpful :3

[expendablemechanic]

[Fracas chuckles a little, petting Frank a bit more vigorously... until someone shows up unexpectedly. He jumps a bit in surprise.]

O-oh! Not at all. He, uh. He showed up with this can.

Good ♥ He tries

[raceme]

[Blurr puts his hands up, showing that he's unarmed.] Sorry I didn't mean to scare you.

Did he? Good boy. [Blurr smiles up to Frank and the turbofox yips excitedly.] He _{helps me} to find organics food often.

[expendablemechanic]

It's all right. Just... surprised is all. [It's admittedly easy to do to Fracas.]

Huh. I thought he was Blurr's... [Wait.] ... Blurr?

[raceme]

[Frank is nudging Fracas on the back. Pay attention to meeeeee.]

Yes, that's me. I'm human now.. [Have a sheepish grin. It's so weird to say this.] AND you are..?

[expendablemechanic]

[Fracas makes a small noise. Oh, hello Frank. He reaches back and scratches Frank under the chin.]

Huh. Oh! I'm Fracas. The Vehicon? Uh... surprise.

[raceme]

[Blurr wished he had his datapad so he could take a photo. Sadly, his datapad now looks the size of a tv screen to him.] I can leave you alone if you want.

fracas? Is really you? [He moves closer, giving the other man a good luck. He doesn't sat anything about Fracas's eye, but he noticed.] Oh. Hello.

[expendablemechanic]

[The scale between their everyday items and them is a little bit extreme now, yes. He has to use two hands to lift even one of his tools.] Oh, no no. He's really friendly isn't he?

Y-yeah, it's me. It's a little weird, I know. Me looking like this instead of... normal. [Where no one can see his face.] I didn't know this had happened to you, too.

[raceme]

[Blurr's pile of paperwork is now a tower. Looking at it hurts him.] You have no idea. I DON'T think all turbofoxes are like that, Magnus's turbofox doesn't behave like this. [But it could be because Magnus is her owner.]

We both look weird, don't worry. By human standards I think you are pretty good looking. I was actually lucky it happened. [It saved him from being eaten by a crazy sparkeater!Skids.]

[place_in_the_sun]

She hasn't seen this one before. And judging by the way he's intently digging in the Junk Pile, he must have lost something. Something important.

"C-can I help you?"

[expendablemechanic]

Something important, like food. He has a new appreciation for what the organics here go through, trying to keep themselves alive. He will never complain again about them. Until one sics Autobots on him, at least. Which this one didn't seem interested in. She was asking if she could help? Fracas perks slightly.

"O-oh! Hello! Uhm... maybe you can, I was trying to scrounge up some food."

[place_in_the_sun]

"Food? I still have some apples, if that helps." She pulls one out of her jacket pocket and holds it out.

"But there's some back at Solus's, if you need more." At least, she's found a little supply.

[expendablemechanic]

"Oh! Th-thank you." He takes the offered apple, taking a bite out of it. This... tastes awesome.

"At Solus's temple? Huh... I hadn't expected that. I've mostly been staying at Megatronus's place, my uh. I've got a friend that lives there." Not to mention it keeps him far away from medics that will poke him about his eye... and people with explosives.

[place_in_the_sun]

"Good, isn't it?" She offers a smile. "Melan found them and shared them. It only seems right to share them more."

"I don't know Megatronus. They're all...sort of scary."

[expendablemechanic]

"Yeah, it does. This was really nice of you, and Melan." Whoever Melan is. He smiles. "My name's Fracas, by the way."

"Megatronus is... the really scary one. Most of the others are big but they really aren't so bad."

[place_in_the_sun]

"It's just that we should share with each other. Who knows? Some day we may need something from you!" It's meant to be comforting.

"Melan is very big, and blue, and he has tentacles and can fly." These are all, by her tone of voice, wonderful things.

"...the one who yells all the time? And set everything on fire during the battle?"

[expendablemechanic]

"That's very true. Well if I can, I-I hope I can help out." Since as it turns out, most humans don't actually mean horrible death.

"Huh. He sounds kind of like a mech that I knew of, back home." One that scared the coolant straight out of him, but still. Maybe Melan isn't actually like Soundwave, though. Fracas can hope.

"Yeah. That sounds about right."

[place_in_the_sun]

"I'm sure you will. Everyone has their own talents, after all." That's what she'd learned, with her team. "You just need to believe in yourself."

"So maybe he's familiar to you! He took me flying when we first met. It was...really fun." She doesn't get a lot of fun.

"Megatronus is scary." Agreement! "You can stay with me at Solus's if you want?"

[expendablemechanic]

"Huh. That's a really nice way to think of it. You're pretty nice." He doesn't often get pep talks. Especially not from humans.

"I don't think so; he sounds a lot nicer than the one I knew. He was... pretty creepy." And would not take people flying.

"Definitely scary. O-oh, that's nice of you! I've actually got my own room as Solus's temple. I'm technically hers. But my friend at Megatronus's, he's keeping me out of trouble until I'm back to normal."

[place_in_the_sun]

"I try to be. I mean, there's enough mean people in the world."

"Well, Melan here is very nice. He was the first robot to talk to me. Well, other than that mean one." Who had sent her hiding for about a week.

"Oh! Are you not safe at Solus's? Does someone want to hurt you?"

[expendablemechanic]

"You know, you're right. There are way too many mean people out there." And he knows a lot of them and that's terrible.

"I'm sorry you've had such a bad time with the robots around here. ...Wait, which mean one?"

Fracas raises his eyebrows and shakes his head. "Oh, no! Not anymore, I mean, it was kind of hairy for a bit, but everything's okay now."
