Can't Master Anything Face Down on the Ground
Who: Starscream & Blurr ( and maybe Cliffjumper )
What: Blurr needs to stop passing out.
When: Feb 21st
Where: Alpha Trion's quadrant
Notes: Tiny Blurr is tiny.
[ there are no projects to work on here - not yet. Ratchet has been dealt with, but that entire situation doesn't settle on Starscream that easily. so he takes to doing something that will clear his head - flying. it's the best way for him to adjust and get used to this Cybertron - well that and he does enjoy being in the air.
Starscream only lands to take a look around the lake. he had been told that there is more organic features on this Cybertron, but he had yet to observe them for himself. transforming back to his robot form, the red and white flier just takes a walk. Earth has such an array of features adoring its surface - mountains, oceans... so much fauna and wildlife. it's such a stark contrast between that and his own home planet... yet here they seem to work together, in a way. it's fascinating.
however, he can't really take too long to think about it - there's an awfully familiar blue mech just strewn about the ground. worry settles in as Starscream closes the distance. a quick scan tells him that there doesn't seem to be anything wrong on the outside - only that the smaller mech is out like a light. being careful, Starscream picks him up - it's not like he can just leave Blurr our here all defenseless - and starts to head back in the direction of where all those medics should be. ]
I am starting to get this notion that you are one troublesome little mech...
[ he should... let people know what's going on, right? ]

He's the tiniest
He was doing it away from any temple just in case something happened. Trion's quadrant was a peaceful place and he could concentrate better near the lake. His turbofox Frank was with him, but he ran away chasing some of the yellow bugs Jetfire freed sum time ago. After much concentration, Blurr was able again to create a bubble of time. The effort was too much for him and he passed out five minutes later.
Now, with his conscience returning, he's barely aware of what is happening but he can tell he's moving. Blurr also feels very comfortable and he's a bit reticent about opening his optics.] Hmm....
most adorable too
but he can feel the other stir a little. as loathe as Starscream may be to have the other wake if there's pain... there's little he can learn about the situation with Blurr still offline. ]
Waking up now, Blurr?
ashdgajsd ty <3 He tries
However, a little voice in the back of his processor tells him that he should wake up and get back to be useful. He opens his optics, very slightly because everything is so blurry and shinny all of sudden that it makes him want to close them again.]
Uh...wha...? [He looks up. Oh ey, Starscream.......wait.] W-what?
And most careless too!
What the slag did ya do now, Blurr?
Is he okay?
[Looking from one to the other, Cliffjumper huffed as he fell in step beside Starscream.]
this is true
It's all right, Cliff. While I didn't see damage on the outside, I'm just taking him to the medics just to be sure.
[ and then he's back to holding Blurr more securely. just gonna continue their stroll here. ]
If you would answer his question, Blurr? Please?
That's the curse of being Blurr :(
W-why are you holding me? Don't tell me I passed out again? I swear, Vector never mentioned that it would be so hard....
8|
Well that's somethin', then. Good thing you saw him. [Cliffjumper says with a grunt as he eyes Blurr and his growing confusion.]
Did ya pass out again? Were you at least on the ground?
no subject
[ it's still in a gentle tone, but do not badger the disoriented mech. ] Let Blurr explain and then feel free to chide him while expressing your concerns.
[ because that's exactly what Cliff does... however, the bigger mech just shakes his helm. some people. now addressing Blurr, he decides it's best to explain... ]
I apologize, Blurr. During my flight, I caught sight of something from above. As Cliffjumper claims, it is a good thing I came down, as you were clearly "out like a light," as the humans would say. Since flying you to where Ratchet can get a look at you isn't an option - I thought carrying would be best.
[ a small shrug. ]
Now... Since I'm sure our friend over here will jump again soon, can you explain what happened?
no subject
He looks up at Starscream again, surprised by the gentleness.] Thank. I 'm sorry I was just... [He waves his hands.] Doing that... thing Vector told me... with the feeling of time and space and...Iwillgetiteventually. It tires me a lot and I don't always notice it until it's too late.
Sorry for all the trouble, guys.
no subject
skipshalf jogs alongside Starscream.]Can't you at least do it with someone else nearby, Blurr? That'd make this a lot slaggin' easier to accept findin' ya faceplate first in some random place!
[Then he glances up at Starscream, shaking his helm.]
Could probably fly him over there though, as long as ya can fly in root.
no subject
[ Starscream shakes his helm. never think that, Blurr. really he'd much prefer to see everyone safe and sound. watching out for them to ensure this isn't a bother. it more puts his processor at ease. ]
Cliff is right though. If you are going to continue practicing this, then you really should have someone close at hand until you get the hang of it - preferably someone with some medical training.
[ just in case.
but then he glances at the smaller red mech, a bit of mirth in his optics. ]
True, true. Are you saying that for convenience sake or merely because you have are having issues keeping up?
[ tease tease ]
no subject
[Blurr shakes his head and then whistles, hoping that his pet will hear him. His attention gets quickly back on Starscream.]
N-no, I don't want to bother anybody. I can do it alone, it's not trouble. [He always ends with some scratches but that's not so bad, right? Starscream, don't embarrass him further.]I ..uhm... both?
no subject
[Have a really fierce glare aimed at you, Blurr, and then he glances up at Starscream with a huff.]
'Cause it'll be faster! And I don't have issues keepin' up. I'm right here, ain't I? [He's just going to reach out and slap the kibble hanging down from Starscream's arm.]
no subject
Of course you are, Cliffjumper. You are doing a great job of it, jogging like you are.
[ moving oooon. he shakes his head at Burr. lots of that going on. ]
Once more, he's correct, Blurr. This Frank is not enough. Cliffjumper is trustworthy and since you are friends, I hardly see a reason why he cannot be present. Of course, I could stay close as well, if desired.
no subject
[He doesn't like to ask for help, that's all. Blurr's about to say more but suddenly there's a flash of silver running in front of them and stopping all of sudden.]
Yip yip yiiiipy yip yip yipy [Meet Blurr's super excitable turbofox, Starscream. He's wondering why are you holding his mech pet.]Yip?
no subject
Yeah, but that don't help if ya don't ask me. I don't min--- Frank! [It's hard not to grin at the turbofox jumping around.]
no subject
Perhaps I should pick you up instead so that you do not feel so vertically challenged.
[ again, he gives the blue mech an apologetic gaze. this is just how they are. forgive them. ] Can you trust us enough to not want to see our friend in discomfort? So that we may not worry needlessly?
[ once again, sorry Blurr. he's giving you the pleading look. one that disappears as he hears the yipping. coming to a stop because what even. ]
Ah?
no subject
He Smiles at Starscream. The elite Guard is starting to understand the way they interact, it's kind of cute.] That I can do. I'm sorry, really. I didn't thought I would pass out again. Ah... that's Frank.
[When he hears his name the turbofox's long ears perk up and his attention gets back to the new mechs he doesn't know. He stands up on his back legs and paws at Starscream's legs.]
Yiiiiiip Yiiiiiiiip. [ Pay attention to me, yes.]
no subject
devouredlicked half to death, pushing the turbofox down as much as patting him.]I'm fine, I don't need you to... to carry me! [Thankfully Frank drops down but that just means he has time to react to what Starscream said, and it leaves his optics bright as he shakes his helm.]
And yeah, as long as ya have someone with you, Blurr, that's okay. [Well, kind of.]
no subject
You have been carrying me for a while, so I thought I would just offer to return the gesture.
[ now he shifts Blurr in his arms with a nod of approval. it's good that the small mech has come to his senses. things will be much easier with someone close by. then he moves, kneeling for Frank to be able to check out Blurr while also reaching to touch the creature. ]
Hello to you too, Frank.
[ always so gentle. 8V ]
no subject
Ehh...You can put me down completely, I'm tired but I CAN walk. [Slowly and dragging his feet but he refuses to be a bother any further.]
Besides...[He narrow his optics in amusement and looks at Cliffjumper.] That way you can carry him.
[After that, Blurr laughs as Frank wags his many tails and tried to lick Starscream's hand.]
no subject
And then Blurr adds to it.]
There'll be no slaggin' carryin'! And you stay where you are, blast it all, Blurr.
And I'm just... doin' what has to be done, ain't nothin'... uh, more than that. [He huffs, flustered still, vaguely gesturing with his hands before settling them at his hips.] You're the one leadin' us on Earth, no matter the help ya got.
no subject
Unfortunately, Blurr, all joking aside you are not really in any condition to walk. There's no need to push yourself.
[ he isn't even going to acknowledge CJ though. Not with words, anyway. Just a little glance and a smile. ]
no subject
Seeing Cliffjumper embarrassed shouldn't be this fun. But it is and it's extra funny because, for once, Blurr is not the one being mocked. He ponders telling his friends one more time that HE DOES NOT NEED TO BE CARRIED thank you, he doesn't want to cause more trouble...but it's a lost battle.]...okay. Thanks. I'll compensate you all for this.
[He gives Cliffjumper the quickest of smirks, Knowing that Starscream can't see it. Oh yes, Blurr has some ideas of what to do with them.]
no subject
Not that he has a clue what plans Blurr might be getting from this, but that smirk deserves a glare either way.]
Very funny. And I don't need compensation, Blurr. We're friends. Starscream ain't gonna take any either, ya know.
[He just shakes his helm at that, snorting.]
no subject
[ he's missed the exchange of glares, really. no idea what's going on because his attention is on the turbofox. ]
Friendly, isn't he?
no subject
[He glances at Cliffjumper and can't help but laugh a little and murmur a 'Are you pouting?' to him.
You keep being wonderfully unaware of what is going on, Starscream.]
He is, yes. But careful, he has a viscous side too. [A pause.] You would see it if you were a little bug or perhaps one of his tails. He chases those a lot.
no subject
[Trailing off as he caught Blurr's almost-silent murmur, he stared and shook his helm sharply. 'Like slag.' Why would he be?]
Anyway, should get him to the medic either way, maybe? Even if there wasn't anythin' wrong last time.
no subject
[ a knocked out little Autobot would be too tempting to pass up, really. Starscream is concerned for Blurr's safety, not just because of the idea that passing out in the middle of something definitely isn't good on the body... but being vulnerable is just out of the question. ]
...What are you two whispering about anyway?
[ B( kids these days... ]
no subject
I only pass out after practicing for too long...I don't collapse of the blue. I never practice while on the job, you don't have to worry.
Weweredoingnohting. It was just about...Frank. [White lie, get. Upon hearing his name the turbofox starts yipping again.]
no subject
[That might have been slightly too quick and sharp, but Cliffjumper didn't care and just huffed, shaking his helm.]
And even if ya don't train while you're workin', how's that gonna stop anyone from doin' whatever they fraggin' well want to if they find ya afterwards?
no subject
[ Starscream doesn't believe a word of it. however, he is not one to press. heading towards the clinic is top priority, yes. Bd let Frank yip all he wants. Starscream is on the move again. ]
Listen to Cliffjumper, Blurr. He has made some rather strong points. Believe it or not, he is right. Again.
no subject
I know he is but do we really have to go there? I feel fine, just tired. [Starscream is getting the best pleading puppy face Blurr can do.]
no subject
And yeah, nothin'. [Cliffjumper huffed and reached out, giving first Starscream and then Blurr a thump on their armour each.]
Hey, Starscream? Since it looks okay, why don't ya fly to the medbay directly? I come over after and follow ya back, Blurr.
no subject
You heard the boss, Blurr. Can't very well argue against my right hand, now can I?
[ a soft smile. sorry, that puppy face isn't going to win him over. the sound of engines kicking on should tell both Blurr and Cliff that yes, yes he is going to fly there. ]
It shouldn't take long.
no subject
I guess there's no point, no. [It was worth a try.] W-wait, fly me there?
no subject
Also, suck it up, Blurr.]
Yeah, fly ya there. That'll take the least amount of time, and Starscream ain't gonna let anythin' happen to ya.
[This was, after all, this Starscream, and Cliffjumper's kind-of compliment is given easily, without much thought at all to it.]
no subject
[ yes, yes that is chiding. don't start any kind of argument right here, please. he understands the elevated voice, but the frustration can be saved for later.
unfortunately, he isn't going to give Blurr a moment to protest. nope. just going to tighten his grip on the smaller mech and take to the air. Starscream isn't going to go overly fast, though. still quicker than walking, but no way is he about to be reckless. ]
no subject
[Weep, too late to complain further. Is not like Blurr's scared to fly but he's not so used to being carried in mid air and he latches onto Starscream's chest almost involuntarily.]
no subject
He then walked backwards to check the spot where he assumed Starscream had found Blurr, just to check there weren't any evidence of anyone else having been there, and then transformed to drive over to the medbay.
It wasn't particularly hard to get Frank to follow him, especially when he made sure to speed up so the turbofox would have to run.]
