Concerning his mun's plans for ink_city

[donttasemebee]

So you're really going to go through with it? I mean, not that I'm complaining since I really don't want to deal with Hot Rod anymore than I have to but that'll be me completely alienating myself from the other Autobots.


...Then again, they all seem to be in favor of Rodimus anyway.

[His vents cycle in a sigh and he rubs his forehead some.]

A familiar face other than one I hate would be nice.

...What's wrong Bumblebee?

[donttasemebee]

Hot Rod--or Rodimus Prime as he calls himself--and I don't get along. At all. And I refuse to have to follow his leadership here.

[At least you're a friendly face Saft.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Rodimus? I met him in the city...

[He covered her head to toe in muck too just speeding past her too.]

He seems okay, I don't get why you wouldn't get along with him though. Is he really all that bad?

[donttasemebee]

He's an impulsive jerk who has his head in the clouds. He thinks he can do anything and can't admit when he's wrong.

[Bee shakes his head, looking away.]

We've never gotten along.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...Gee, I wonder who that sounds like?

I'm kind of impulsive too you know. That's kinda how I wound up marrying Trevor.

[donttasemebee]

What?

And it all depends on what you're impulsive about. Being impulsive isn't bad if you aren't completely ignoring the consequences and what it could do to others.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well, back home...I'm kind of a trouble maker.

I mean it's hard enough to fit in being half-dragon and all so I guess I can't help but lash out for attention once in a while.

I'm sorry if I kinda destroyed whatever image you had of me. Heh.

[donttasemebee]

[Bee can't help but smile a bit, a rare expression for him these days.]

Saft, I think you're really nice and a great person. You telling me those things hasn't destroyed my image of you at all.

The fact that you told me that at all, that you know your faults, sets you apart from Hot Rod.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Maybe he just needs something to happen to him to make him wise up a little?

I honestly think he isn't that bad, He just needs a chance to prove himself that's all.

[donttasemebee]

He didn't use to be bad at all. He was actually somewhat tolerable before this whole Rodimus business.

And Primus help anyone that tries to give him a life lesson or advice because he's too good for that sort of thing.

[Bee rolls his optics, huffing some as he leans his weight on his cane.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well if anyone can set him right, I bet Optimus can.

[whatbedsidemanners]

I'm not too overly fond of Rodimus either, but don't do anything you're regret Bumblebee...

[donttasemebee]

I know, I know...

[Cue another sigh here and a bit of a face scrub.]

I'm just tired of having to be second best to him.

[donttasemebee]

Hopefully.

[whatbedsidemanners]

Considering how he is? It's completely understandable.

You are always welcome in my Health Centre. Just so you know.

[donttasemebee]

..I appreciate that, Red Alert. I may take you up on that. The less time I have to spend around him, the better.

[whatbedsidemanners]

[Another almost smile? Maybe.]

That goes for the both of us.

I do expect you to make yourself useful if you are staying with me.

[Red Alert doesn't tolerate freeloaders.]

[donttasemebee]

[Have a small smile in return before he nods.]

Of course. I wouldn't dream of free loading, Red Alert.

[fun_police]

Alienating yourself is hardly a sound strategy.

[He can probably guess what happened. He's seen the two butt heads before.]

[donttasemebee]

What else am I supposed to do, Prowl? I'm completely outnumbered when it comes to others that support and believe him and I'm...there's no one else here from home..

[whatbedsidemanners]

Good, because you'd be out faster than you can blink if you tried.

[She's not trying to be cold... it just sort of happens.]

...But it'll be a pleasure to have you around.

[donttasemebee]

[Yeah. He's not going to test his luck with you, Red. He can tell you're all business. Like Prowl was.]

It'll be a pleasure being around someone like you, Red Alert. You remind me of someone from back home.

[whatbedsidemanners]

Oh?

[Please, go on.]

[fun_police]

You bide your time.

[He has experience with this like you wouldn't know, Bee.]

Charisma and mysticism only gets one so far without any tangible results.

[donttasemebee]

[Bee nods, smiling faintly.]

You know what you want, you're not fake in any way...it's obvious that others can trust you...Its rare to find a bot like that.

[donttasemebee]

And do what while I'm biding my time? Let him walk all over me and treat me like I'm nothing?

[Others do that to him constantly and he's tired of it , Prowl.]
