Who: Knock Out & Starscream
What: Basically first meetings.
When: Some point during Starscream's first day
Where: Solus' temple to start
Notes: Totes not a date... Stop using human expressions KO. B(

[ Starscream is fashionably early, if only to give himself time to find the correct location. he stands outside the temple, looking around the area and already making comparisons between this temple and the one that he had awoken in. in the back of his processor, the scientist in him is curious if the FFs are responsible for the terrain and if it reflects upon the FF of the sector. their likes... their personalities...

it's a new experience. something other than war. that is enough for him to latch onto it and just enjoy before it inevitably backfires. ]

[ and Starscream can't help but give Knock Out a sideways glance - halfway suspicious. ]

There's no security?

[ seriously? that's surprising. ]

No that I am aware. [He doesn't bother showing Starscream the emdbay because he's going to show in an awesome, shinny new clinic. his clinic.]

And I work there from time to time. It proves how naive some mechs can be.

Are you including yourself in that?

[ to work there from time to time, knowing it is not protected? of course, it is teasing just a little. ]

Where are we heading next?

They need an adult to supervise them from time to time. [Joking right back. He enjoys people who can tease.]

We are heading to my clinic. It's on the other side of the temple, you will be able to get a good look of this place before we get there.

Who supervises you, I wonder.

[ just a tour of the place and clinic right? No coercing into an exam, please. Screamy is already half suspicious. ]

The other side? Putting some distance between the lot of you?

[ are they that unpleasant or are there other reasons... ]

No one fills that position yet, but if you want the job... [Of course he's only joking too. Not even Megatron could completely boss Knock Out around when he felt like not listening but people who are nice to him have it easier.

And no, no exam yet. He just wants to show of his clinic, it's a lovely workplace.]

As I said, it's a bad idea to keep all your medical resources together. A lot strange things happen in this plane from time to time. Glit has another clinic somewhere int he temple too.

[He actually gets along with most of the other medics.]

Oh, well THAT is inevitable.

[ an easy smile. Is he serious? Joking? A bit of both. Megatron does say he worries about others terribly. Cliff also says thy Starscream is too nice for his own good. Chances are he's going to keep an optic on KO no matter what. ]

Glit?

[That surprises Knock Out. He gives an O RLLY amused look back.]

Glit is a casetticon medic. He looks like Ravage's twin, we confuse them often. At least until they open their mouths. Their personalities couldn't be more different.

[ and that smile never wavers. not gonna be able to read through it to get a straight answer. sorry, try again. ]

I know who Glit is. [ hard for him not to, really. ] Which reality is he from?

[Knock Out's starting to think that said smile is a poker face. He knows better than anyone how smiles can be used as defense mechanism, you can't trick a trickster Starscream.]

I am not really sure. But he's not going around trying to kill anybody, so he's probably sane. I'm still wondering how he can do surgery with paws...

[ true. at least this Starscream's smiles are more warmth and caring rather than arrogance, right? ]

It's better not to ask. Perhaps you won't have to find out the hard way either.

[That sure if good.]

Ravage seems to like him well enough, you could ask him. I take it that the one you knew back home was less than pleasant? [Knock Out can look serious too when needed.]

Not at all. Granted his personality is far different than Ravage's, but he is decent enough.

I was worried that perhaps his alternate was less than pleasant.

Then I guess we got lucky with him. We shoudl be glad that no decepticons from my world are here anymore. You wouldn't like my Megatron.

[Knock Out shudders slightly as he walks. He is so glad that they aren't around. How knows what they could do top him now that he changed sides. Megatron said that he also had a change of heart after the unicron debacle but the medic didn't buy it.]

I would like to think there is potential for good hidden in all of us and that, in under the right circumstances, it would come to light.

[ no, really. even though he hears that most Decepticons are bad or nasty, Starscream has a hard time believing it. there have to be a few out there that are, well... not evil.

but he catches that shudder and he has to wonder just that Megatron could have done... ]

You say this, but I wonder... Is he that terrible?

[ Cliffjumper made it sound as though their Prime is even worse. ]

Even Unicron? [Knock Out teases and then he gets all serious after a fast realization.] Or is he a nice god in your universe?

[Megatron could have done really nasty things. Ask Dreadwing for more details. Wait, you can't because he's dead now. Oh.]

Yes. [No sign of doubt in his voice.] He's also not all that right in the head. It wasn't so bad at the beginning, he wasn't obsessed with killing Optimus and he actually cared about his followers.

[Does your Prime stab himself in the chest with the blood of unicron too?]

The first we ever heard of Primus was when Cliffjumper mentioned him. Unicron is much the same - never heard of him.

[ a shrug. theology, man. it is not really a thing that exists to them. of course, some might have believed it. Shockwave found it interesting. ]

Our Prime never concerned himself with the well being of his followers. Loyalties mean nothing to him when it comes to failure or a slight shift in morals. ...He is obsessed with killing Megatron, however.

[ he probably would, KO. ]

I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. How were you all born? [Theology and biology, he's concerned about the later.]

Then I really hope that none of them end here. Imagine if they teamed up.

[Joy, more insane mechs. Exactly what we need in our lives.]

[ oops. just giving another smile. do you really want a biology lesson? because he can give you one... another time.

back onto serious topic! ]

They wouldn't. Prime only gives two options - serve him or be terminated.

[Knock Out could give Starscream a ~biology lesson~too but the seeker gets too embarrassed.

Knock Out frowns a little at the change of topic but he lets it go.] That's how Megatron operates too. And all the Autobots are sociopaths?

Now now, no reason to give that look. I can't possibly reveal all of the secrets of my dimension on the first meeting. We would run out of topics in no time otherwise.

[ again, mostly teasing. and maybe a tagging finger. ]

But, yes. Nearly all of them are sociopaths or clinically insane.

If you put it that way it means we need to meet more often. [He's smirking again, good job Starscream.]

And who won the war? or you are still fighting? That can you tell me, I promise to keep the secret.

It may be inevitable...

[ don't smirk. that just.... worries him. so much. ]

The war... The Autobots hold much of Cybertron. We've simply done what we can to strike at them and foil Prime's plans to obtain resources.

is inevitable a bad thing?

[But it's one of his sexiest smirks, who doesn't want to look at it? And look, they finally arrived to Knock Out's clinic.]

I'm sure that eventually you will be successful. The good guys always win, it's like they are in the good's side of destiny.

It depends on what would bring me here in the first place.

[ HE IS NOT GOING TO FALL PREY TO YOUR SEDUCTIVENESS. NOPE. he throws a lop sided smile though. ]

Perhaps. The only reason we have had a fighting chance thus far is due to the fact that Megatron saw this coming. Without him, we would likely have been terminated. Of course... Without Cliffjumper coming to us when he did, Earth may have suffered the same fate as Cybertron.
