[Capacitor was suspicious. It was a natural sort of suspicion--he'd regained awareness in a planet completely unlike the home he'd expected, with a strange little drone latched into his recharge and not a single Cybertronian signal besides that anywhere on his sensor net

He was bristling with anger from the fight he had with Scorponok just then (one that had nearly lead to a fist fight) and finally emerged, winged. He thought it looked pretentious but Scorponok had convinced him that it gave him an air of authority that humans-- which he resembled-- did not possess. Grumpily, he folded his arms, the wings spreading some (hell, he'd play the part if he had to) and waited for his 'guest' to land.

"Welcome," he offered, then hesitated, glanced to the offshore of woods that bordered the house, hugged it and separated it from the coast on the other side-- and then the other side, which was a walkway that lead straight to the beach itself. He frowned, visibly, indicating he should come forward, "It is unwise to speak openly when we do not know what inhabits the... forest." Goddamn, he was already sick of speaking like something out of Lord of the Rings.

He hesitated himself, his scanners sweeping the form of this organic creature that offered him answers. It was aberrant from the images of this species he'd gleaned while his was on his way here, possessed of extra limbs. He strode forward, as beckoned, trying to match it to some photographic human image...

And stepped through a barrier that, a few days ago, he would have known was there. Blackout may have been well used to being turned human, known who he was as a squishy and what to expect, but Capacitor had barely yet learned what the species was. So the man that lurched a step or two, carried by momentum, before falling flat on his face was not the man Blackout turned into. This was someone very distinctly different--

Which was sort of fitting, really.

[revered_love]

There you go, that's all I needed.

"Sorry if it hurt at all, you-- look different." He didn't seemed too pleased by the notion, but it didn't stop him from slipping his hands beneath his arms and hoisting him upward and then bending to draw him over his shoulder-- it was actually easier with his wings, they lifted just so, helping to support the weight and he gingerly walked back to the house, as if kidnapping a robot-turned-asian-man was no big thing at all.

"Scorponok!" he called, ducking so not to hit the top of the door, "I did iiiit~"

Guy had arrived in an angry mood, it only seemed to make him more so seeing Robin occupied with a woman and Eros and that queer blonde one looking so distressed. Where was everyone, anyway? Blackout should've been around here-- He hesitated turning the corner, hearing some talking.

"What should we do with him?"

"I don't know, wait the virus out? He'll be back to Blackout in no time."

"I just hope he doesn't... I don't know, do something stupid."

"Like break the door down?"

"Or starve himself or Zeus knows what."

"I just ... don't want him to look like that-- you made sure the door was locked, right?"

"From the inside, only."

"Alright, well, I'll go check on him."

"Alright."

It took a long moment for Guy to process this. Difference? Virus-- Oh! One of those computor things, did that mean Blackout was... Oh. Oh.He moved to follow Scorponok slow-- Eros didn't even seem to take notice of him-- and watched the door he pushed open, then closed again, ducking into the bathroom as he passed again. So he was there, and he was

They'd deposited him on a bed, and he didn't have enough control yet over his limbs to be able to resist. He was stubbornly silent now, when they tried to talk to him, ignoring them both--he didn't want to be here, didn't want to be this, and if the only way he could demonstrate that reluctance was sullen silence, then so be it.

Alone, he forced himself to sit up, to attempt to take control of this body. It was hard--he kept thinking about the way his limbs moved, comparing it to the mechanics of his real form, and then it would just get awkward.

He wasn't yet willing to risk trying his feet.

He flopped back on the bed when Scorponok came in, flopping his arm across his face so he didn't have to look at him. The organic creature that claimed to be a drone he didn't have tried to get him to talk, asked him a few questions, but left when he realized Capacitor would be utterly uncooperative.

On his own again, he knew he should be trying to find a way to get free, but for the moment he just remained as he'd been, face half-hidden

Gisborne waited a long moment before emerging again and beelining for the room he'd noted. He turned the knob slow, pushed it open and peered in. He was there, for sure, but he did not look the same. Guy slipped inside and shut the door, testing the lock. He had not lied, he was locked securely; Blackout would not get out but then neither would he. He would just claim to have gotten lost, is all, what would they do to him, really? Heh.

"It's about time you changed your appearance, creature."

[death_chopper]

He moved his arm aside and peeked at this newcomer--another human, one he didn't recognize. His brow furrowed as the organic spoke; the words were meaningless to him. "Go away," he muttered.
