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.

One would think that a thought like that, of being manipulated on such an intimate level, would surprise someone or cause them discomfort. Somehow, though...it doesn't. It even sounds likely, perhaps even expected. She's managed to control everything else in his existance so why not that too.

Though the tension in his body slackens somewhat at those words, his expression dulling and hopeless.

"There's no escaping it," he says. "Not for long."

As much as she hated to see such resignation coming from him, it seemed like something easier to work with that outright anger.

"Yes there--" Suddenly she flailed a bit when she came to the edge of the building. She teetered for a moment before righting herself, and gave a quick glance behind her, cursing herself for not remaining aware of her surroundings. She gave a jerky shake of her head before focusing on Signless again.

"Yes, there is, Signless. You came so close to breaking free last week. You are strong. You can do it."

[sufferist]

He grips the scythe tightly, his gaze lingering on he more intensely than before. He doesn't really remember what happened last week very well. Half of him is just ready to swing at her and be done with it, and the other half is just...tired.

So many nights were like being asleep: caught up in a dream were full control of his actions ever eluded his grasp.

"You couldn't know," he growls softly, raising his scythe.

Disciple didn't know how long she could keep the conversation going in these circumstances. There was chaos all around them, if they lingered it was only a matter of time before Starscream found them, and with her head thumping and making her vision go fuzzy it was hardly like she could evade Signless.

Hell, she wasn't certain if she would be able to even if she was uninjured.

The look she gave him was just sad, not even scared. A faint sense of defeat filled her, but she squashed it. This time she would have to be the one to retreat, but it wouldn't be the end.

"That temperamental Cybertronian is coming for you." She said quietly, tucking her good foot behind the ledge, readying to jump down when that swing came.

[sufferist]

He stares at her, uncomprehending for a moment. He knows who she's talking about - but for some reason the fact that she's warning him about that makes him angry and defensive. Something about her bothers him, intensely, and he snaps.

"Just leave me be!" he yells, swinging his scythe.

When he swings Di hops back, grabbing the edge of the building with her hands, and propping herself against the wall on her good leg. Di spots a thin ledge below--if she can manage to get there, she can make her way over to a window and get out. There is a brief moment of hesitance, a desire to still try and do more but now is not the time.

Without a look up, she drops down to it, and makes for her escape.
