Can't Master Anything Face Down on the Ground

[loyalflier]

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? ]

[cliffjumper]

You better, 'cause you keepin' on collapsin' like this ain't a good thing. What if it happens and we've got something weird goin' on...

[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.

[loyalflier]

That would be my concern. Being attacked or given the fact that some still carry on with their violent vices...

[ 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... ]

[raceme]

[He gives Cliff a last 'Uh huh, sure' before going back to being serious. He also looked slightly distressed. After all the Starscream of Bulkhead's universe did try to take advantage of his weakness once and Blurr got his arm cut off. His friends had a point.]

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.]

[cliffjumper]

Nothin'. It was nothing.

[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?

[loyalflier]

Mmmhmm. Nothing, I see.

[ 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.

[raceme]

[Blurr won't deny it a second time to not raise more suspicions. He doesn't look to happy at the prospect of being dragged to the medbay. He likes doctors but not being his patient.]

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.]

[cliffjumper]

We didn't go last time, so yeah, this time I think we should. What if usin' these powers have some other effect on your systems than just drainin' 'em?

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.

[loyalflier]

[ a chuckle at the thump. ]

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.

[raceme]

If they had a negative system Vector Prime would have mentioned it.... [Whine whine whine...also, ouch, Cliff!]

I guess there's no point, no. [It was worth a try.] W-wait, fly me there?

[cliffjumper]

Who says he knows every effect those powers might have on us! [Cliffjumper's voice is sharp, more because he's frustrated than to be heard about the growing thrumming of Starscream's engines.

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.]

[loyalflier]

Cliff.

[ 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. ]

[raceme]

I can fly on my oooowwnnnnnnnnnnnn....

[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.]

[cliffjumper]

[Cliffjumper's just going to give the two of them a jaunty wave as Starscream flies off, the other hand on Frank's neck.

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.]
