Nexus. Safe House. Starting her journey.

Mistfire: *laying on the couch, rapidly reading data from a pad that's connected via wireless to the Multinets. Pauses and looks down at the floor, then reaches to carefully poke the mech that's laying there*

Scatters: Five more breems...*muffled, as he's laying face-down*

Mistfire: *ponders this for a moment, then pokes him again, on the door-wing this time*

Scatters: *Squeak* *sits up abruptly, relaxes when he sees Mistfire*

Mistfire: *quizzical look* Good morning, sunshine.

Scatters: *chuckles, moves to a sitting position and stretches slightly* Good morning, starshine, the earth says "hello"...*more chuckling* Humans have weird sayings....

Mistfire: *smiles and turns back to her pad* They're interesting people. Especially this Captain Fanzone. Have you met the one in your reality?

Scatters: *snerk* Yeah...guy's wound tighter than a trigger-happy mech with a twitchy finger.

Mistfire: *takes her mug of energon off the back of the couch and sips* He seems to be a loyal ally to the Autobots of my reality. I think I'll see if I can't stay on his good side. I wonder if he'd like Daddy bound and muffled... and if there'd be a bounty for bringing him in. *yes, she's learned quite a bit since she woke up this morning*

Scatters: *nods* Yeah...aside from how tightly wound he is, he's a decent human...and he's fun to pick on sometimes...^_^ *At the mention of a possible bounty, he perks* ooo, can I help?

Mistfire: I don't know. *sip* But that reminds me. Does anyone you know want to know where Desinex's hideout is?

Scatters: I can think of a femme who would be very happy to have that information...even if she is one trigger-happy glitch....

Mistfire: Would she pay for it?

Scatters: I think so. She's one of the Autobots, so honesty and all that stuff are almost programmed in....

Mistfire: How much? *sip*

Scatters: *tilts head back, thinking* If I remember right, Desinex's bounty is at least ten thousand credits...I'm pretty sure the Autobot femme I know has that, even if it winds up being in human money....

Mistfire: *offers him her mug without looking from the rapidly flickering words and images on her datapad* Well I know where the hideout is.

Scatters: *accepts the mug, then his doorwings go nearly vertical* Really?

Mistfire: Mmmhmm.

Scatters: How the frag did you manage to get it? The crazy glitch is harder to pin down than a case of cosmic rust!

Mistfire: She offered it to me last night before I set her on fire.

Scatters: *Cracks up* By *snerk* By the way...that was EPIC.

Mistfire: *hides her pleased smile behind her datapad* Why thank you.

Scatters: Did you find the high grade on the counter?

Mistfire: Mmmhmm, it's still there. *shuts datapad off and sticks it in her storage compartment as she sits up*

Scatters: I'd be careful drinking that stuff...it's stronger than mid grade...

Mistfire: I didn't like the smell. *folds a foot under her skid plate and looks at him thoughtfully*

Scatters: Huh... *shrug* To each their own then....

Mistfire: I'll give it to you if you do me a favor.

Scatters: Hm?

Mistfire: Go back to your reality and find the femme who wants the information and find out if she's interested?

Scatters: *nods* yeah... *digs into his subspace and pulls out a sawed-off shotgun* I'm going armed though...considering what happened the last time I ran into her.... *Scowl*

Mistfire: *concern, but then remembers something she read in her data crunch marathon and leans down to peck him on the cheek* Be careful, alright?

Scatters: *doorwings UP, vocalizer fritzes, and all he can manage is a small nod*

Mistfire: *voice gentle* That was just a friendly kiss. Relax.

Scatters: *faceplates slightly heated, sheepishly lowers his doorwings*

Mistfire: *looking away again* Though you are... *mumble*

Scatters: *headtilt, confused expression, tries to ask "I'm what?", but only static comes out*

Mistfire: *turns back and stands briskly* In the meantime I'll go and take care of some business in my reality.

Scatters: *nods, gets up off of the floor, and moves to give Mistfire a hug*

Mistfire: *snughug happy cuddle, then steps back and gives him a grin before heading for the door*

Scatters: *watches her go, before PINpointing home*
