Who: Knock Out and YOU!!!
Where: All around L.A.
When: All day, TODAY
What: That talking sports car who is actually a giant space robot people have been talking about lately is out and about in L.A., being way less discreet than a Decepticon should.
Warnings: Inappropriately sensual is Knock Out's game. Approach with caution.

It's been only a few weeks since Knock Out arrived in L.A. after an extended tour in Europe, but he likes it already. He hadn't expected the vehicles around here to measure up to the ones he'd grown fond of in Italy and Germany, but the luxury car expo he'd tracked in L.A. had been a sight to behold. Admiring the glossy, flawless finishes on all of those perfect automobiles had nearly had him in fits of jealousy.

And the roads here. Knock Out can drive for miles, endless stretches of black asphalt that positively sing under his tires for hours on end. Yes, he thinks he could get used to this...he could stand to stay here for awhile.

Five years lounging around on Earth has made him slightly careless, and he hasn't been as discreet as he ought to be. But it's hard to contain himself when there's so much entertainment to be had on this planet. He can be found screaming down the California highways or cruising around the city -- occasionally, he'll send his holomatter avatar out to interact with the local life forms.

Starscream flicks a clod of dirt off of his shoulder that had landed there when Knockout revved up and sent a shower of it flying before. "We're going to get off of this rock, and we're going to need Decepticon assistance to do it. However, as I'm sure you know... no interstellar communication, no rescue. Certainly between the two of us though, we can at least cobble something together to send a call for help. And we can find your precious partner using the Nemesis's scanning capabilities after that."

He looked troubled once more. "There is also the matter that Megatron is probably not going to be pleased with either of us once we make contact... fortunately I have a few contingency plans laid out to placate him, if that is the case."

Starscream talks, and all Knock Out really hears is that this is going to be a lot of work. This is precisely why he'd been content to sit back and wait until Breakdown located him -- for now, at least -- because it sure beats the scrap out of putting all his time and effort into getting back to a place, it turns out, he wasn't all that invested in being.

A plan to get Megatron off their backs does pique his interest, though. "Oh?" he says, with obvious interest. "Please, do tell."

Starscream smirks with an intense satisfaction. Now they were finally getting somewhere.

"Lets talk and fly. I promise I'll tell you all about it."

Knock Out revs his engine pointedly, letting out a somewhat tentative chuckle. It seems Starscream still isn't used to him having a land-based alt mode.

"Of course, Commander Starscream -- let's talk and drive, as it were."

Starscream rolls his eyes pretty hard at that, but it's an almost pleasantly amused response. Knockout may be a pain in his side, but it's nice to at least have someone of his own kind for company again. "I honestly don't think I will ever understand that," he quips as he makes his way towards the edge of the woods and takes off.
