[show_my_cannons]

Here.

Made it.

[He sounds... groggy almost. Like he's just witnessed something horrible and terrifying and loathsome all rolled into one.]

[There's a pause, before he thinks to mention where it is he's even ended up.]

... Mahogany. Made it to Mahogany.

[Ironhide, you'd better sit down. You don't sound so good.]

Where is the Mason girl.

[show_my_cannons]

No, I...

Owe you. For all that.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

Really, you don't have to repay me.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Just.

Let me do something.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

Hm. All right. I am getting hungry, so... how do you feel about lunch?

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah. That will do.

... Where do... you go?

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

For lunch? There's a pretty good cafe by the Center.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Right.

That works. Lead on.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

[ Lead she shall! May as well strike up some conversation as they walk ]

Hm. Would you mind telling me a little bit about yourself, Ironhide?

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Hn. Like what?

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

Where are you from? What do you do? That sort of thing.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Cybertron.

... I am a soldier. Always was. Always will be.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

Oh, is Cybertron a country? Or another world entirely?

[ The soldier bit gives her pause. Hm. ] What sort of things do you do as a soldier? Well, aside from fight, I mean.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Another world. Another... planet.

[He almost says "Kill things", but stops.] Advised Prime. Trained others. It was nothing more than any other soldier in our ranks.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

... This may seem like a strange question out of the blue like this, but I do have a point. Do you know who Team Rocket is?

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

... No.

Who is that?

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

You honestly don't know? They're a criminal organization here in Johto and Kanto. [ She lists off a few of their misdeeds- kidnapping pokémon, poisoning people, and bombings among them. ]

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

... Yeah. Heard about that. Never knew who it was that did it.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

I was wondering if that was the sort of thing you fought against.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

No. Decepticons are... different. They are brutal. An entire army of murderers who care nothing for life. Only for its destruction.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

I wasn't talking about specifically, but in principle.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Hn. Little different, still.

I think.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

I suppose their crimes are minor compared to what you are accustomed to, but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't be stopped.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

I did not say they should not be stopped. Just... there is a difference.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

All right, all right. What I'm really trying to ask is if you'd be willing to lend your experience as a soldier to trying to stop them.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Then, yeah. No argument here. Be nice to start breaking a few faceplates in, again.
