someone has ridden the ride at universal far too many times and yet never enough

[evacuation]

Mun? Is that what I'm supposed to call you? I'm used to by name, but - okay, well. If that's what you want.

I appreciate you 'picking me up' (maybe not so much the constant squealing - you might want to get your brakes checked), but...when you're planning. I have an important mission, and you know that. If you were thinking about taking me somewhere after the mission's over that's one thing, but in the middle of it?

They're relying on me. NEST, the Autobots, Optimus - I can't let them down like that. Even if you're saying it's not going to make a difference and everything'll be fine, telling me here is one thing, but...you're not planning on me knowing that. It'll be real for me, and do you really want to put me through that?...

Comments

[shutthehellup]

Knowin' muns, yeah, they enjoy that kinda thing. It's enough to make a guy wonder if the term is some kinda corruption of 'monster' rather than short for 'mundane'.

[evacuation]

It's funny - they seem harmless enough at first, right? And then they do a few things that make you wonder...

[perfavore]

Dio mio...

Mundanes are particularly notorious for pulling you away from your current mission.

[Heaven forbid they WAIT.]

[evacuation]

It happened to you, too? [well if one of them can work with it...he can too, right? maybe? possibly? :[ ]

[perfavore]

[A slight nod. Although...whether or not he's keeping his sanity intact is another story.]

Si.

I will not mince words. It is difficult if pulled from a crucial point.

[Despite that, he chuckles.]

Is as the humans say..."just our luck."

[evacuation]

Heh. That's an understatement. At least it's good to know I'm not the only one who gets to deal with it, but...

[HELPLESS SHRUG]

[perfavore]

In this case, better to stick together.

[Those wings twitch idly, his hand pulling out of that folded-arms position and out for a handshake.]

Mirage.

[He doesn't seem to remember you...to his dismay ):]

[fuck_orders]

[Mirage do you have any idea how badly his mun just screeched when she saw you?]

Oh tell me about it.

[perfavore]

[He's glad to be of service, signorina~]

I am to assume you were taken during a similar situation, human?

[fuck_orders]

Pretty much, yeah. Where did yours drag you in from?

[perfavore]

...The destruction of Chicago.

It is described by humans as 'giant-ass alien invasion'.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Hn. Squealing. Brace yourself, kid. If they are squealing now, they will never stop.

[evacuation]

[dxmkfc there goes his posture straightening up]

Yeah? You'd know, sir?

augh you cutie

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah, I would know. Been here longer than anyone on my end... and the shrieking...?

Hn. Never stops.

tell me stories grampahide

[evacuation]

How do you end up dealing with it, though? I mean...any kind of advice'd help.

sit down and have a drink and you will hear all the stories

[heavyweaponsbot]

Same way I deal with everything else.

Punch it. Or ignore it until I can punch it.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Oh. Great.

Who decided it was a good idea to let you out of the box?

[evacuation]

Hey, I'm ready-! Sort of.

[stabbywheelfeet]

'Sort of' doesn't cut it, rookie.

[evacuation]

Not my fault they haven't put me on field duty before. But I was being put out on it, finally.

[stabbywheelfeet]

That's exactly what I'd expect someone with no experience to say.

"Oh Sideswipe, it wasn't my fault. It's their fault. Also you're gorgeous."

[bringtherain]

Hey, try to look on the bright side.

Less chance of seeing ugly Decepticon mugs wherever you're going.

[Unless it's a game based off Transformers but THAT would be silly.]

[evacuation]

I guess so, Colonel. But...I'm still worried about your team, back on Earth.

[bringtherain]

Hey, we got this.

[Hand reaches out to pat that leg armor.]

Just don't slack off, you got that?

[evacuation]

Never. [SALUTE]
