Nexus. Arcee's room in the safehouse. Meeting Kia

((From here))


Arcee sighs and creaks to her feet, then limps over to her desk and sets the little Bumblebee doll next to the little Ratchet. "Well, that didn't work. Let's hope Ratchet has a better plan, because I don't like how your engine sounds, kid."

As expected there's no reply from the little silver being under her berth, and she sighs and leaves the room to go wait in the common room and see if there's anything worth watching on TV.

Arcee also rises to her feet, picking up the dropped mug and quirking a brow ridge as she watches Kia be distracted by the basin and sponge and then start to try and clean herself up. It looked like she was going to have a big puddle to wipe up later.

At Ratchet's words she turns back to him, her faceplate brightening with interest. "Thanks. Oh, speaking of boosters... mine started yelling when I thought Kia'd gone offline. Do you want to take a look?"

She's careful to keep any trace of concern out of her voice and body language, despite the fact that Kia is totally intent on trying to take a bath and to figure out what Ratchet said to her.


((yes, please.))

"Go ahead and get up on your berth and I'll check it out. I can install the scanner at the same time, though that'll take just a few minutes," Ratchet replies. He casts a glance at Kia a moment, noting what she's doing before turning hi attention back to Arcee. "She'll be a handful alright, but at least she's trying. 'Spose the sooner I get the new booster to you, the better."


((I'll try to jump start a post here in the comm before I get out the door for work.))

The pink femme nods, then notices that there's still some energon in the mug and calls Kia's attention to it before stepping to the berth and laying down. "Something tells me she'll turn out alright. I just hope she doesn't start bouncing off walls like I hear Bumblebee does."

She pops her chest plate open with a sigh. "Don't overwork yourself. I've been taking it easy."

Kia, meanwhile, looks into the cup and thinks long and hard, then manages to successfully drink the rest of the contents.


((kk :D))

"I think she's a little timid right now to be acting hyper. That may change given time, but it seems to me she's more eager to please than anything else." As Arcee opens her plating, Ratchet lowers his extra lens and takes a look at the femme's internal workings, focusing on her spark casing and the booster attached to it. "We had some trouble with some 'Cons recently, but we managed to get through things alright. Bumblebee also ran into some Facility nut by the sign and that could have gone better, but at least nothing disastrous came out of it."

Frowning, he makes a very minor adjustment to the booster before turning his attention to installing the scanner. "Looks like your booster is just wearing out from regular use. It should last a while longer, yet, but it might get touchy about things if you're stressed."
