autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the decepticons

[chinderella]

WHO: Sentinel Prime and OPEN
WHERE: City Hall
WHEN: idk, today, daytime?
WARNINGS: jerks
SUMMARY: Sentinel Prime is trying to warn the government that DECEPTICONS ARE INFILTRATING THEM!! and gets lost at City Hall.
FORMAT: WHICHEVER YOU PREFER


[ How long before we can infiltrate the US Government? Less than a year, comrades, less than a year.

The words had long since gone away, but the time for sulking in his room and not wanting to go out and mingle with the organics waiting has passed. He has to do something. It's up to Sentinel Prime, Elite Guard Autobot, hero, to save everyone's afts.

So he goes to this "government building" he heard about. This "City Hall" where the Bitchell and his crew worked. Sentinel isn't sure where he is or who he should talk to, and promptly ends up wandering the building, warning whoever he can.

About the Decepticons. ]

[He'd gotten a tip from one of his interns that there was a strange man wandering the premises, and full of paranoia that was the Decepticon byword of the century, he set out to find out who.

When he did, he was--incredibly surprised, actually.]

Sentinel. What are you doing here?

[chinderella]

[ Starscream. The bot in question.

Sentinel couldn't really... tell him that he was here to warn the government that Decepticons were infiltrating, since he was one of the 'cons infiltrating it. Therefore, he probably needed an excuse. ]

That's need to know info, Starscream.

[ex_backstab594]

And I think I need to know, unless you need to have an intimate meeting with security. [there see he has power!! And he's not afraid to use it! He's mad with it, mad I say]

Come on, out with it. There's no need to involve Skyfire or anyone else in this, it's just between us, isn't it.

[chinderella]

You manipulative piece of coding. Threatening a bot just to get what you want? [ BECAUSE THAT'S TOTALLY WHAT STARSCREAM MEANT RIGHT ]

[ex_backstab594]

Do you understand that I could have you arrested?

[actually he probably would get in deep scrap with the husbando for that, but he is eager to bluff.]

[chinderella]

You can't do that! [ Pause. He... doesn't actually know how the rules work in this place. ] For what reason?

[ex_backstab594]

...Trespassing.

[lmao god what a lie. And it sounds pretty much like a lie, too.

He takes a pause and then offers] Listen, there's no reason for this to end so--poorly. Why don't you come to my office and I'll make you some coffee. It's a poor human substitute for energon, but it's in great supply.

[ The "Bitchell", or rather the fucking Mayor didn't leave his office for most of the day, but there was a point, in between the few moments when he was eating a his lunch at is desk, and on the way out for his coffee run when he makes it past Sentinel, a quick few steps before he does a double-take to do a once-over on the unfamiliar face. Mitchell may not know people to well, but he generally had a good memory for names and faces. The guy looked concerned. ]

Do you need a guide or something?

[chinderella]

[ He doesn't recognize the guy's voice just yet, and he doesn't know what the Mayor looks like. Sentinel puffs out his chest and stands a bit straighter, to show he means business. ]

I'm looking for the Bitchell. Or the Mayor. Or whoever else is in charge.

[viced]

[ Oh, it was that guy. Mitchell's hands came up to pinch the bridge of his nose, annoyance casting on an already mostly grim and taut face. The strain of what was going on out there was weighing heavily on him in City Hall. ]

It's just the Mayor. Or Mayor Hundred, if you must.

[chinderella]

[ Now he's squinting at the guy, starting to get a bit of recognition -- ]

And this organic Mayor Hundred would be... you?

[viced]

[ Christ. There it was. He wasn't getting out of this now, was he? ]

Yes, that would be me. I'm surprised you didn't do your fucking research before you showed up. I heard my wikipedia page has a pretty decent photo of me.

[chinderella]

What's a "wikipedia"? [ And then instantly waves it away as unimportant. Never mind that. I'm here to give your organic government a warning.

[viced]

A warning? Really? [ He crossed his arms for a moment, before waving a hand. ] Come on, we'll talk in my office. I hope you're not trying to blow smoke up my ass, we've got enough trouble as it is.

[chinderella]

I never waste time with unimportant things, Organic Mayor Hundred. [ He sounds huffy as he follows Mitch. How dare he not realize that Sentinel knows what he's talking about? ]

[aggressiveapathy]

[And at a desk, relatively upfront and in the hubbub of City Hall, is the Head of the Interns/Youth Outreach/Whatever title was slapped on her for the day. Regardless of title, her ears perk up at the first sound of evil robot ramblings.]

Hey. You.

[chinderella]

[ He turns around and kind of stomps up to the desk. Because he is entirely polite and not imposing at all. ]

What?

[aggressiveapathy]

[Just. Stares up at him from the seat. Which she is now leaning back in.]

You were just, like, yelling at that water cooler about evil robots. Why do I have to ask to hear about it?

[chinderella]

[ Oh. Well then. He draws himself up, puffing out his chest to show how important this is. ]

I wasn't yelling. I was informing this human organic government that there are Decepticons infiltrating it.

[aggressiveapathy]

[And in return she- does nothing. Just takes a tiny sip of her coffee.]

So?

[chinderella]

So? So? This means that the Decepticons are planning a take-over of your puny, unimportant planet for some inconceivably evil reason.

[aggressiveapathy]

How do they stand on animal rights.

[chinderella]

They don't stand on any rights. [ countdown to being a hypocrite in three, two, one... ]

[aggressiveapathy]

So they don't care.

[chinderella]

The Decepticons don't care about anything. [ And he clearly looks like he's proving his point somehow, wagging his finger in warning. ]

[aggressiveapathy]

Cool. So no more annoying jay-walking laws.
