Z'verse 3. Dalla's garden. Search for Swindle

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

Blitzwing had never been this frantic before in his life.

Check that.. the Icy persona thought to himself as he appeared in what seemed to be a garden of some sort, I haven't been this frantic since I became a Decepticon. He refused to let either Hothead or Random out at this time, calming himself down. He was doing something, he couldn't be faulted for that.

But why the slag was he getting so worried about that fragging glitch-rat anyway?

Because it's my fault he was taken out of the Dream in the first place, Icy responded to the thought, unsure from which of the three of them it came from. If he hadn't dragged him out with him that one time, Swindle would probably be home, safe, not Spark-Knows-Where.

"Is something wrong?" Dalla frowns with concern, one hand going toward him.

"Random just got the idea of trying to fit as may rocks in his mouth as possible," Blitzwing said, still facepalming.

[random_xtras]

The Lu woman pauses, and then facepalms herself. "I... think it would hurt."

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

"That's...what I think. And Hothead agrees, so..." Blitzwing says with a smirk.

[random_xtras]

"Maybe half a rock at a time?" suggests Dusk with fine diplomacy as he hugs his knees and watches the big people with interest.

"Half a rock?" Icy seemed to almost consider that, and it was enough for Random to retake control.

SLAG! You just had to give in enough... Hothead fumed, I'm not dealing with it if he breaks his faceplate...

It won't be the first time... Icy mused, as Random gleefully tried to bite one of the rocks in two.

We're not exactly where we can get him fixed if he does! Hothead added.

Random snorted at them. He knew better than to cause THAT much damage to himself. At least, most of the time...

[random_xtras]

"Hmmm." There's suddenly a little furry guy in Blitzwing's lap. "How about a third? You picked a kind of big rock, Mr. Blitzwing."

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

Probably because he's got a kind of a big mouth... Hothead snerked. Random just mrrred at him, then took out the rock and looked at it.

"Maybe..." Random relented, and tried again.

It was probably a good thing he hadn't heard of the earth candy 'jawbreakers', or he'd probably be mentioning it...and Hothead would be having a bigger fit.

Thankfully the energon rock isn't very hard. This time he'll find himself with a nice chewable mouthful.

"You did it!" Dusk grins and hugs himself with excitement.

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

And he didn't break even a tooth.. Icy mused.

Hothead just sulked. Showoff.. he scowled.

Random just smirked as he munched away. ^^

Dusk snuggles, but then startles as the fluttering of wings announces the arrival of a tiny dark blue and off-white hawk. The little bird sits on Dalla's hand, then keeks and bobs its head as she takes a slip of parchment from the capsule on its leg.

"They've seen them in the market, but the press was too thick for them to get over there. Swindle's back in his normal shell," reports the Lu woman, looking up to meet Blitzwing's optics.

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

Random swallows quickly, to allow Icy to resume control. He does, a bit of confusion on his face. "Normal shell?" he asks, more to himself.

Swindle had been working on his holo-emitter...I don't remember seeing it right before we left... Random said.

Which means the glitch-rat came BACK and got it, without telling us! Hothead ranted.

"Still, it's good that he's safe," Icy says, "Thank you."
