Voice 058

[shenghuanzhe]

[The video flicks on, and there's a view of Kage without his jacket or shirt on! He's just wearing an undershirt and he's surrounded by machinery parts. He's sitting on the ground, reassembling something. He squints at the comm as he takes the video and wipes some sweat from off his brow. He's smudged with grease and dirt and Kage talks with a

[Odette finds that she likes the dirty look. Hm.]

You look dirty.

[Flirting is a-go!]

[shenghuanzhe]

[Audio only, sorry, Odette!]

Y'know, that ain't the first time I been called that.

[His voice is a little muffled because he's got the cigarette back in there and he's fitting a gear back into place.]

Imagine that, huh?

[aswanbyday]

[Sob. She can't oogle you if she can't see you, Kage. Think of her eyes.]

Having fun? You sound like it.

[shenghuanzhe]

[With some goading he'll turn the video back on. He is, first and foremost, a public servant.]

I like this kinda shit. Fixing things, settin' them right.

[It's satisfying.]

[Text. Ignore fail ;_; ]

[skinbrand]

I'm sorry, what was all of that?

[text]`

[shenghuanzhe]

use the translate tool if u cant understand what im syaing

[Kage, being barely literate, has atrocious spelling and little to no grasp of grammar.]

[skinbrand]

[Nel just stares at the screen and thinks that this must be a chronic symptom of overly large men. Maybe it's in the fingers?]

.... Where is it

[Text]

[shenghuanzhe]

where is what?

kage, king is trying to steal your jorb

[hadalotofsugar]

Ooh, I forgot about the diet comment. That might be important.

[King's tone isn't vicious, though. He seems to be more amused by Kage than anything.

IT HASN'T BEEN A WHILE SHUSH.]

nyooooo you fucking immigrants!!!!!

[shenghuanzhe]

Yeah, it gets important sometimes.

[Kage remembers your flipout at the guy who looked like someone important, King. Kage lips the cigarette to the side of his mouth.]

[audio] 8> just wait till I make it to canada... again... after I get my passport....

[hadalotofsugar]

[Ooh, neutral. King can still wheedle, though.]

I bet it does. What do you do for people who like their food alive? I'm feeling risky.

[He isn't. But he's an ass.]

[audio] 8| the invasion!!!

[shenghuanzhe]

We don't keep livestock on board for passengers that need blood or livin' shit. They wanna feed, we got some buckets'a blood they can drink from.

[Kage answers starkly.]

You ain't gonna start anythin', are you?

[video]

[fracturefall]

[Well, frag. If he'd known this was coming, Barricade could've saved a bit of dignity and effort from trying to suck the information out of Mikaela.

Still...this human? Instant *bond*. He can smell kindred misanthropy from over the comm channel. Though he's not too...keen on seeing this Kage mucking around in what looks like machine parts. Like...maybe his.]

Guessing you won't answer any, like, substantive questions there, squishy, but...yeah. [It's a sign of respect that he doesn't even ask.]

Kind of have special dietary requirements.

And I need access to open deck for solar recharge. Where it's safe.

Doable?

[audio]

[shenghuanzhe]

Hey, I answer whatever questions my Captain allows me t'answer.

[Another machine voice. Kage's getting more used to the transformers, and he likes most of them. This one doesn't seem too bad at all.]

Open deck for solar recharge is on decks three on up, and what kinda special diet you need?

Re: [audio]

[fracturefall]

[Well, from what Barricade's gathered, this Captain Redd is an awful lot like Megatron, and Kage might earn himself a beatdown even for being asked.

Maybe something neutral, since he did offer. And it was...bothering Barricade. And probably wouldn't break his cortex the way Mikaela's you can die a lot but then if you disappear ur ded 4 reelz thing did.]

Not going to argue the why, of the weapons thing, but...kind of uncool with the how. Especially seeing you...you know...messing with stuff right now. [clutches his forearm where his spoke weapon used to be housed.] Tell me you didn't mess with anything else while you were in there?

[because that'd be icky.]

You got other Cybertronians here, right? Whatever they eat's fine with me. Not that picky, really.

[Frag, just having 'enough' would be an improvement.]

[tachikhromatic]

Lazy!

[shenghuanzhe]

Eh? Me?

[tachikhromatic]

AND LATE, TOO.

You're lucky I was so distracted~ Your welcoming job is finding you especially dispensible, lately, huh?

[shenghuanzhe]

Hey, don't you fuckin' start nosin' in on my turf, kiddo.

[He should be annoyed but... tachikoma. Even Kage is not immune to its cute.]
