ROCK'EM SOCK'EM ROBOTS [BIG OPEN FIGHT LOG]

[sufferist]

Who: Signless, Robots, and YOU
Where: City Hall, and all over downtown LA.
When: April 14th
What: Signless bates the Cybetronians into having a big fight in downtown LA while attempting to get a valuable artifact. Earth civilians and superheroes are SUPER WELCOME to notice the fuss and try to stop the fighting/safe people from collateral damage.
Warnings: SUDDENLY ROBOT ULTRAVIOLENCE

Signless leaves himself, and the hammer, visible at first. He wants them to see him, to know that the battle is imminent - and with any luck, a conflict will start. He'll do his best to disappear and keep them hunting for him as as long as possible after he's initially been spotted. Maximum collateral damage is his goal.

It also helps that he's an empath. He'll be taking whatever opportunities he can to agitate people's emotions, whether it be anger, panic, or fear, in the attempt to make ever more chaos.

This is a party style log, meaning you can make you own threads and scenarios. Signless will be around with the hammer. LET'S MAKE THIS AS BIG OF A CLUSTERFUCK AS POSSIBLE, GUYS.

[Things aren't looking to good here for anyone. Di can only imagine that things are going to be worse here once Legion arrives. Getting rid of giant robots without causing any more collateral damage isn't exactly going to be easy.

She takes a moment to crouch atop a tall building, surveying the city to try and scope anyone who might have fallen behind when all the civilians began running away. Weaponless as she was there wouldn't be much she could do, and at this point with the combat having begun she didn't think trying to be diplomatic would achieve much, especially considering she didn't even know the basic facts of the situation.

Di did the only thing she could do, got people to safety even if she had to haul them, blubbering over her shoulders.]

Breakdown doesn't see Di — he doesn't really see much that isn't a giant robot or a car that looks like it might fold out into one, actually. He's hunkered down in his root mode, one fist clenched and the other cycled into a large hammer. This feels like just what he's been waiting for, a way to burn off some of this helpless, frustrated energy in a good old brawl. He doesn't even care what they're here for, honestly. All he needs is five minutes and an Autobot. He passes directly below Di's building, a grim smirk in place as he scans the area.

Breakdown would be pretty impossible to miss, and despite the catnip she'd messed with when they last spoke she remembered what he looked like out of his alt form.

Really she shouldn't be surprised to see him here with all the Cybertronians running around but for some reason she is, and before she can stop herself his named is coming out of her: "Breakdown?"

She regrets it immediately and is filled with unease. Ever since learning about the two factions here on Earth and the war they had waged against each other she had wondered about Breakdown. The chances of him belonging to neither seemed rather slim. She had never asked Orion about him, and curses herself for not having done so.

[buffedthat]

He pauses to hear his name, a little puzzled for a few seconds. That's not a Cybertronian voice. He glances around, then up, and instinctively grins to see one of the organics that he likes.

"Hey, Disciple." Oh, but wait, this is a battleground. Kind of. Close enough. His grin fades out again. "You probably shouldn't be here, things are heating up."

[scribes]

She grimaces at the reminder. Not that it's easy to forget. This part of town has had a number done on it already and she can't even imagine what sort of casualties must have already happened.

There is a moment of hesitance. Di opens her mouth but something holds her back. She already feels like she's being dishonest with Breakdown simply by the fact that he doesn't know of her connection with Orion--which really, could be all for naught, for all she knows maybe he is an Autobot--but bringing that up now isn't the best idea so she focuses are a slightly more neutral topic.

"I'm here for the troll. The one causing this mess. You haven't seen him, have you?"

[buffedthat]

And for his part, Breakdown is happily oblivious to any kind of hesitation or discomfort on her part. He's in the middle of a fight, after all, which is exactly where he belongs. What could be wrong?

"Uh, no." Maybe a little embarrassed there. "I've been sticking to the Cybertronians here, sorry."

He cares a little bit less than he should what the fight is actually about.

[scribes]

It was good to hear, at the very least, that Breakdown wasn't pissed at Signless as he had every right to be. That was one less Cybertronian she had to worry about. The same couldn't be said for the others, most of the Autobots included.

"It's fine." he had no reason to apologize, really, if anything she was grateful.

"Listen," She paused, worrying at her bottom lip for a moment, "I know I really have no right asking this, considering what he has done, but I know that troll. He wouldn't do something like this, if he were in his right mind. It's a long story but. I mean I want to try and see if I get through to him so if you or any of your friends see him..." She trailed off.

[buffedthat]

He frowns a little, but nods. "I'll try, but no promises. I'm not the commanding officer around here."

In fact, he's kind of the lowest ranked. Sorry Di, you totally buddied up to the wrong 'Con.

[scribes]

She picked just the right Con to buddy up with. Di understands and definitely does not want to put Breakdown in an awkward position, nor feel obligated towards her so she just nods.

"I appreciate it." Hopefully she could get to Signless and talk sense into him before that became an issue. If she wanted to do that, she'd best be on her way.

"I'll try to get out quickly once I'm done. You be careful too." She really, really hoped that Breakdown was an Autobot. She didn't want friends on both side of this war, as Orion did.

[buffedthat]

At that, he just grins. "Who needs careful?" he asks, voice a cheerful growl. "Knock Out fixed me up, I'm ready for this fight."

That's... that's totally something an Autobot would say.
