Iacon -- Central Courtyard
Contents: Blurr, Moonracer

Slingshot exits out of one of the nearby builds and enters
the main
courtyard, plainly board...which isn't a good sign.

Blurr turns at the sound of thrusters and blurts,
"SlingshotHiSlingshotByeSLingshot!"
Blurr taps a foot quickly, arms wavering everywhere a he
gestures,
"TheMissionWasASucessAndIJustReturnedToCybertronAndWantedToF
indGetAnUpdate.
IDon't SupposeMegatron'sBeenDefeatedYet. HasHeHasHEHasHe!??!
OfCourseHeHasn'tThere'sNoCelebration.
WellIt'sNeverTooMuchToHope!!


Slingshot blinks and tries to keep 
up with Blurr as he breaks the sound barrier. 
"Um...no. Last I heard he hasn't." He makes a
face."He's still around...unfortunately."

Moonracer takes a while to digest what Blurr just said and
answers"Ohhh, that's great Blurr. And of course not, we are not
doing too well at the moment"

Slingshot looks over to Moon. "What are ya pouting about
now?"

Blurr looks back and forth,perfectly following the
simultaneous response,
"NotGoingTooWell? WHyAren'tWeDoingToWell.
THat'sNotAGoodThing. NoNotAtAll."
He looks back and forth, hoping for some kind of update.

Slingshot optics Moonracer. "Well?"

Air Raid has arrived.

Moonracer turns to Slingshot "Huh? Why are you starting with
me again Aerial?" Looking back at Blurr she says "Well that's because
we can't protect all the civillians too well from Decepticons
attacks"

Air Raid ambles in, and sidesteps a crowd of hurrying
Autobots. He whistles
to himself and doesn't seem to be heading anywhere in
particular.

OOC: Slingshot thinks . o O(Uh...oh..!) :)

Blurr continues, oblivious of the term 'waiting',
"ItWasALongTripToEarth..."
showing the attention span of a knat, "AirRaidHelloAirRaid."

Slingshot shrugs. "I didn't start nothing. You just said
nothing was goin'
right and I asked what." Slingshot catches a word or two.
"Earth? What
about Earth?"

Air Raid finally notices Slingshot, getting steamed as
usual, and makes his
way over at a leisurely pace. He grins rather lazily at the
small group as
he nears, and puts a hand on Slingshot's shoulder. "What's
up? And hey,
Blurr."

Moonracer fehs "You know you were starting something
Slingshot" looking back at Blurr she says 
"Ohhh Earth...., hope you had good time there"

Blurr follows back from his tangent of thought perfectly,
"CourierMessageToEarthI'veBeenAwayFromCybertronAWhileAndWasH
oping ForAnUpdateOfEvents."

Air Raid tilts his head a little, and gives his team mate a
healthy shake. "Uh, helloooo...Anybody there?" He looks down toward the
smaller Aerialbot's scrunched face.

Slingshot gives Air Raid a tolerant grin and lightly shrugs.
"Eh...not much. Haven't see you in awhile. You finally comin' back
into orbit?" He turns back to Moonracer. "Was not. Just drop it already,
kay? Sheesh." He mumbles soemthing about shebots being rather sensative.
But what else is new?

Air Raid narrows his optics a little, and leans close to
mutter into Slingshot's audio. All the while he smiles noncommitally at
the other two.
Air Raid mutters to you: "test"

Slingshot blinks at Blurr, still amazed. "You were even
allowed?"

Air Raid mutters to you: "Uh, what's going on here?"

Moonracer grimaces at Slingshot but keeps her optics on
Blurr.Slingshot playfully elbows Air Raid in his side as he
mutters back.

Moonracer says, "I can tell you my sharpshooting is as good
as usual, but that's no update."

You whisper, "Dunno really. Just got here myself only a few
moments ago. Blurr's saying somethin about Earth and--" to Air Raid.

Air Raid rolls his optics a little at Moonracer's jibe, and
smirks, "Yeah, all we need is two sharpshooting big-mouths in the
same room together." He returns his attention to Slingshot. 
"You about done harrassing the lady?"

Slingshot stops and looks back at Moon, narrowing his optics
a little. He then adds in a whisper to Air Raid....
You whisper, "And then there's the femme. You figure it
out." to Air Raid.

Blurr nods vigorously,
"OptimusNeededAMessageDeliveredToEarthAndWho
BetterToDoSoThanBlurr!?!"

Slingshot looks innocently guilty. "Lady? What Lady. Ain't
harassing anyBot."

Moonracer turns towards Air Raid "Hey, I didn't say anything"
and then atSlingshot "And he shouldn't try bug me either, 
in case you don't want me to start talking"
Moonracer turns to Blurr and nods "Yup Blurr, you the
fastest."

Air Raid sighs and shakes his head. He gives Slingshot a
little push. "Come *on*," he mutters, a little to loudly, 
"I'm sick of fighting with those people."

Slingshot rolls his optics. "Ya know...maybe Springer's
right. You have the hots fer me after all. " With that 
He gives Moonracer the *nicest* smile.

Moonracer whirls around "Slingshot!"

Blurr cocks his fingers in a 'shooting gun' motion,
"AndYouTheBestest.
BestestBestestBestest!!" Blurr winks an optic.

Moonracer softens somewhat as she hears Blurr and turns to
him "Sure am."

Blurr moves and stands somewhere else, bored of where he was
at.

Air Raid drops his jaw, and looks fairly sickened in
general. "Uh...boy...Slingshot? Do you need me to 
let you and Pastel Spice work
this out alone?"

OOC: Blurr says, "Pastel Spice!! hahahahahahahahaha"
OOC: Moonracer grins evilly.

Slingshot gives a little chuckle and resigns to at least
trying to behavehimself. He crosses his arms. "Me...with 
her? I don't think so, hot shot.
Springer suggested it. Not me." He cocks a lopsided grin but
doesn't add anything more.

Moonracer not being overly familiar with Earth and whatever
culture maybe there doesn't really understand Air Raid and so doesn't
care, as she approaches Blurr. "So what were you doing on Earth besides
giving messages?"

Air Raid takes advantage of the distraction and literally
shoves Slingshot off about ten yards. "Now WHAT was that all
about?" he demands, and can be heard clearly.

Slingshot manages to regain his balance. "Ok, fine. I'm
dropping it. Cool yer jets aready."

Blurr is happy to be the focus of attention,
"IHadToRetrieveIntelligence ForMagnus."

Moonracer turns around in surprise as the Aerialbots seem to
be fighting.

Air Raid lowers his voice then, and shoves Slingshot in the
chest. Being taller, he manages to knock him back a few feet.
Air Raid mutters to you: "What is this about 'hots'??"

Moonracer giggles as Air Raid hits Slingshot, just because
she thinks he deserves being hit by someone.

Blurr watches, "YouTwoShouldFindSomeNewMaterialYouKnow,
ThisGetsOldOldOld.

Air Raid blinks and looks over. "You talkin' to me, slick?"

Slingshot nearly falls with the extra shove after he returns
to the small group. He shoots Moon a nasty look for 
giggling and answers back to his
bro...
You whisper, "Eh...Moon was getting all huffy and such coz I
wasn't impressed by her sharpshootin' skill talkin'. She then
ordered me to apologize and when I didn't she was stompin' 
to her room. That's when Springer got his jab in." to Air Raid.

Blurr looks around quickly, "IsThatMagnusCalling?
IThinkItIs, YesDefinitely."
Blurr transforms into Hovercar mode.
Blurr streaks into the form of a small hovercar.
Blurr bolts.

Air Raid blinks again, apparently surprised at Blurr's words
and actions. "Hey!" he hollars after the speeding 
hovercar, "How I deal with my fam is my biz, copy?"

Slingshot looks at Bluur strangly. "What in the heck are ya
talkin' about?"

Moonracer just blinks, confused.

Air Raid shrugs off Blurr and turns back to Slingshot. "So
then, what were you doing going off about hots?" 
He forgets to lower his voice.

Moonracer crosses her arms over her chest and turns to focus
on the Aerials now that Blurr left.


Slingshot's face is a blank. He's either forgotten or he
can't believe Air is bein' a bit slow. "Human expression 
I think. Ask Springer."
You say, "I think it has something to do with that gross-me-
out dating thing."

Air Raid lowers his voice again, but not so far that he
can't be overheard. "Look, Sling, Silv and I went 
over this. The only thing you get
out of this kind of thing is trouble. And I don't wanna see
you rushing into it just cuz you think you're hot slag. 
You get me?"

Moonracer grins "You should listen to your brother, Aerial,
he's got much more sense then you."

Air Raid turns a glance toward Moonracer, and raises a brow.
"I don't remember askin' your advice. Far as I'm 
concerned, your name is Trouble, so no need to butt in."

Slingshot gives Air Raid an exasperated sigh. Ok...he knows
he may have been a bit too far with his mouth at times. 
But his frustrations with Moonracer simply give him 
reason. He rolls his optics and mutters a "Fine"
and then shoots Moonracer another dirty look.

Moonracer hmppfhs at Air Raid and her optics narrow in
reaction to Slingshot's glance.

Air Raid gives Slingshot one last slightly-older-brother
look, and turns on Moonracer. He draws himself up to 
his full height. "Look, it's not like
I want trouble with you. That's the point. But don't go
ridin' his six just cuz you ain't got anything better 
to do. I'll take care of him, and
you take care of your mouth. That clear?"

Slingshot simply turns away from from Moonracer. 
He can't help but roll his
optics again -- this time at the one playing Mr. Daddy-Bot.
Slingshot doesn't make a comeback tho. He simply puts back
on one of his smirks...trying to quell some mild embarassment.

Air Raid blinks at Moonracer. "Turbocat got your tongue? Why
you starin' at me? I said I don't want no trouble."

Moonracer looks at Air Raid and nods "I am not looking for
trouble anywhere, though if that be my name...." she smirks and
turns her back towards Air Raid "I got lots of better 
things to do."

Air Raid shakes his head then, and simply turns and starts
to drag Slingshot away towards the Personnel Building.

Slingshot jerks his arm free from his brother's
grasp, feeling a bit indignant.  "Leggo already.
Sheesh.  You treat me like some little kiddy bot..."
