Don't Diss the Ninja Tricks

[gangstageek.livejournal.com]

There is an empty spot at a table. Completely and utterly empty. Everyone knows no one is sitting there and there's no obvious sign someone IS going to sit there.

That is until someone is suddenly THERE with no prior sign of being anywhere near there. In fact, not many may recognize him. He wasn't around for any of the pod popped meetings, and he certainly wasn't the same ninja who was a doctor. For one, this one had a hat and no lab coat. Also a bit shorter too.

Dark Smoke Puncher figured since people DID know he was here now, he might as well try to get to know the crew. If it really was a secret ninja battle royale, than at least he could get to know his opponents instead of getting jumped because it was harder to hide from ninjas.

People may notice that his glop that was called food was decreasing in volume, yet he never moved his mask. It was clear he was eating too as he stated, "dawg, this stuff is rank!" Really, he'd prefer his mom's 'famous stewed beats.'

A world made of metal. Full of giant robots.

"Dude, that's awesome!" Dark Smoke Puncher said before he could stop himself. "Uh...if you're into that stuff, I mean, yo," he quickly added, trying to appear aloof again.

[crazychanger.livejournal.com]

"AHAHAHAHAHA!" Random cackles before he can stop himself not that he ever wanted to and suddenly stops laughing out of nowhere as his face changes. Mentally, Icy shoves him aside-and then Random abruptly shoves back, his faceplate switching again.
It's a little disturbing.

"It is, isn't it?" Random giggles enthusiastically. "But organics are interesting too! Especially you!"
He seems to be genuinely meaning it, too. It's not like the obviously crazy triplechanger cuts people apart like some sort of one-eyed purple scientist after all.

[gangstageek.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, there was definitely strange about this guys personality program before it was quite twitched. But again, it was also AWESOME because it takes some real advanced work to make crazy robots.

"I am a dope mofo, yeah, but why do you think I'm especially awesome, yo?" Dark Smoke Puncher asked. Maybe he had something that attracted robots? That'd be sweet.

[crazychanger.livejournal.com]

Random gets shoved aside again for Icy.
"Vell. For one, jour...accent seems to be dropping out every few sentences. Two: jou haff had an interest in me ever since I sat here and started talking to you, but you haff tried to hide it. And three; you are not like anyzing I haff ever seen before."
Blitzwing sits back with a satisfied little smile on his face. It's rather creepy to be honest.
"Does zat answer your question?"
Because if you're done asking, he has questions of his own.

[gangstageek.livejournal.com]

"It's not an accent, dawg. It's a way of speech, my way to the expression of myself, yo," Dark Smoke Puncher said. "A dropping accent sounds like it's forced and that's just whack, yo." He was getting to lax in his speech, damnit! he couldn't afford to me!

"And, check it, a giant robot ain't the norm, dawg. Even a wicked sick dude like myself can think that's a bit cool, but if I, yanno, act too impressed, people might get some ideas on my coolness, get what I'm saying?" He asked. Oh, he thought he was more than a bit, but no, he had to play it cool.

"But yeah, dawg, that answers my questions."

[crazychanger.livejournal.com]

Icy's good optic narrows ever so slightly. He knows you're hiding something. But he has no clue what it is you have to hide.
"Mmhm. I see. Howeffer, your answer raises some questions in itself. In my experience, organics are not usually fascinated as much vit' things zey do not understand--they haff run, or hidden, or tried to attack, but I haff not yet got a response like yours. Until now, of course.
Vhich brings me to my question--are you associated with robots, of any sort?"
Because he's had experience with Professor Sumdac and this organic showed some sign of at least being interested in robots.

"Dawg, I'm a ninja. We are EXPERTS in using the unknown to our advantage for just that whacked out reaction to take down our targets. We do not get duped into it," Dark Smoke Puncher said with a rather cool 'smooth' hand gesture if he did say so himself.

"But, yeah. I make robot guards, yo. Basic programming, some killer rockets and lasers, a few sick rocket limbs."

[crazychanger.livejournal.com]

Well, that explained the obvious interest. But the way of speech-dropping every few sentences was driving him crazy.
...
Well, crazier.

"Is zat so?" Blitzwing said. "Vell, zen at least ve haff somebody on the ship who can repair any of those idiotic Autobots if zey happen to break down. but vhy you would vant to is beyond me."
It appears giant alien robots also have a sense of humour. Kind of. See? That's a joke. Albeit a somewhat spiteful one.

[gangstageek.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but that dropping was gonna continue. He had to force himself to talk that way.

"Because the more their are to get blasted, less blasts for you, yo," Dark Smoke Puncher replied. Well, might as well go along with the joke.

[crazychanger.livejournal.com]

Much to Blitzwing's constant irritation. Oh well.

The triplechanger made an amused noise when Dark Smoke Puncher went along with the line of conversation.
"Zey are much smaller. Zey do not make good meatshields."
Oddly enough he doesn't seem to be joking. He seems perfectly serious.
...except for the slight kind of creepy smile.

[gangstageek.livejournal.com]

"Usually need meat for meatshields, dawg," Dark Smoke Puncher pointed out, trying to determine if that creepy smile was to show if he was joking or not.

[crazychanger.livejournal.com]

"Ze material does not matter. It still makes for a serviceable shield."
Well, he was sparked for war. This is just...a natural part of his programming.
Sort of. A very disturbing part that may or may not have warped some time in the last million stellar cycles into something for morbid amusement rather than self-preservation, but still.
Creepy smile is still there. It doesn't appear to be going away any time soon.

[gangstageek.livejournal.com]

"So, are you bigger than them, dawg?" Dark Smoke Puncher asked. Well, he said they were small.

[crazychanger.livejournal.com]

"In zis form? No." He seems rather irritated about it. "But in our normal...universe.."
Have another faceswap!
"AHAHAHAHAHA I CAN PICK ZEM UP AND THROW ZEM A LONG WAY! IT'S FUNNY! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! SOMETIMES VE PLAY CATCH! Alzough zey do not do much catching, just running and shooting! Zey are no fun!"

[gangstageek.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, this was a crazy bot. But it was a COOL crazy bot.

"Yo dawg, how big are ya usually?" Dark Smoke Puncher asked. Let's ignored the fighting a bunch of other robots being his form of catch for the moment.

[crazychanger.livejournal.com]

"VEZZY big!" Random giggles insanely for a moment, flailing a little in an attempt to demonstrate just how big, and then Icy pulls himself together and answers.
"As big as, on average, vun of zose human buildings...skyscrapers, I believe they are called. Some of ze smaller ones, I suppose. It is hard to judge. My memory is...not perfect."
Because it isn't. He remembers the past more clearly than the recent months he's been in Detroit.

[gangstageek.livejournal.com]

Dark Smoke Puncher's eyes widened. "THAT big?! Dawg, you were huge!" He exclaimed. How did structural problems not happen with such a large machine?!

[crazychanger.livejournal.com]

Because the aforementioned machine is an alien robot? Who knows. Cybertronian circuitry works in strange and wonderful ways.
"Indeed I vas. Alzough, Lugnut and Megatron vere bigger--AHAHAHAHA YOU ZINK I'M HUGE?! YOU SHOULD SEE LUGNUT, ZAT BIG BUCKET OF BOLTS!"

[gangstageek.livejournal.com]

He's trying to work with he knows. There's just a point where one starts to think a structure wouldn't hold well.

"How big was Lugnut, yo?"

[crazychanger.livejournal.com]

"Bigger zan me!" The triplechanger waved a hand somewhere above his head as demonstration. "At least a head higher. But Megatron has alvays been ze tallest! Ahahahahaha!"

[gangstageek.livejournal.com]

Really, he'd normally be creeped out by this point by the laughing. If it wasn't a giant robot.

He's a sad, sad, sad geek gangsta wannabe. "How tall is he, yo?"

[crazychanger.livejournal.com]

"Velllll he's about twice za size I zink! Vezzy big OHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Random seems to be having a fit by now. Icy, meanwhile, manages to shove him aside and almost immediately buries his face in his hands.

"Random is an idiot," he muttered. "I suggest you not pay attention to half of vhat he says. But it is true, all the same."

[gangstageek.livejournal.com]

"So you are some wort of multi-personality dawg. Wicked, yo," Dark Smoke Puncher said. Nice to have confirmation, ya know?

/late FFFF

[crazychanger.livejournal.com]

"You mean you did not notice from za beginning?" Blitzwing said blankly. "I vould haff thought zat my...supposed personality disorder...vas fairly obvious."
He seems surprised that Dark Smoke Puncher didn't comment on it before.

Re: /late FFFF

[gangstageek.livejournal.com]

"Yo, dawg, I ain't dense. Of course I noticed, but it's, ya know, kind of whack to just ask without it being brought up, word," Dark Smoke Puncher said with a nod. Meaning he thought it'd be rude to ask before that.
