OOC: Semi-private thread, ask before joining.
What? What is going on here? Blitzwing was reduced to going on the run--but for some unexplained reason he is now in a cell! Did the Autobots get the drop on him? He cannot remembering going offline. Of course, there is not much opportunity to reflect on things. After all, being in here is incredibly frustrating.

If the triple-changer calms down enough to review his surroundings, he will notice a slouched black, purple, and yellow carbot sitting in a chair, face hidden by a datapad. Cannonball's entertaining himself with stories, and by the look of it, they're not being very entertaining.
He sighs, not even giving the 'bot in the cell a look yet. "Welcome to the Decepticon flagship....er...Ship," he says, setting the datapad down, and grumbling that Hook has no creative flair for ship names. "Ye'd best calm down, this could take a bit t' explain." With that, he lounges a bit more in his chair, resting his arms behind his head.
"Let's start wit' ye name, function, and latest timestamp. Ye be 'ere due to a mysterious phenomenon yankin' Transformers from all over the bleedin' multiverse, from all manner o' time an' space."

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! START MAKING SENSE YOU TWO-FACED TIN-PLATED TURBO-TURKEY!!"
Wait, Decepticon? Why has he been captured? Has he been found guilty for going into hiding?
As if an angry threatening robot in the holding cell wasn't complicated enough for poor Cannonball, now he has to deal with a robot whose head suddenly starts turning. After whizzing around for a moment, it settles on a pale blue face with asymmetrical optics. The rage has subsided into subtle contempt as his hands that were previously gripping the bars are released. He stands upright, regarding Cannonball.
"Very vell, Decepticon. I shall answer your questions, but I expect zere to be answers of my own." He places a hand on his chest. "I am Blitzving. My function is... complicated." Blitzwing then gives his last time stamp. "Now. I vould advise zat you release me now. Ze alternative vill be... unpleasant."

Cannonball's head tilts when Blitzwing's head literally spins. That...is definitely something different.
If he hadn't been late to the launch gathering, he would have heard Lugnut talking about this 'bot. Since he hasn't, Cannonball gets to play it totally by ear.
"Not our first Blitzwing..." he says, rising from the chair, swinging the key around his finger. "Though, to answer ye first question, I'm talking about exactly what's 'appened." He then motions at all the rocks in the holding cell. "Some crazy nonsense with this universe apparently be draggin' our kind from our own universes an' placin' us 'ere. Them rocks got somethin' t' do with it."
He smirks. "Sounds like a load o' bollocks, doesn't it? Well... ye'd best start believin' in sci-fi stories, Blitzy. You're in one."

They're giant freaking robots. Aren't they already in a sci-fi story? Though perhaps not from their POV...
The first Blitzwing? Wait, What?
"If I am here already, zen vhy vas it so hard to identify me zis time?" This character is clearly a useless lout.
The head spins again, shifting to black with red features. "But zen again, perhaps you didn't get a good look at my face! AHAHA!"

"Gettin' all that scrap aboot name an' such is standard bureaucratic slag," Cannonball says with a look of disgust. "If Shockwave an' Starscream say it's needed, then I'd best be doin' it. We've got another Blitzwing from a different reality. Kind of the same colors, but he's ...kind of like the red face and the blue face mixed together."
He gives the tankjetbot a confused look when his head spins again, leaning back slightly at the jack o'lantern-esque face. "Bleedin' Primus on a pogo stick lad, just 'ow many faces ye got in yer 'ead module?"

Blitzwing doesn't know who Primus is, but this facet of him is very aware of pogo sticks. They're fun! "Just enough to keep zings interesting!"
Aaand back it goes to the blue face. "Anozer verison of myself...eeenteresting."
And then, one last time, if shifts, lunging itself at the bars. "NOW LET ME OUT BEFORE I GET ONE MORE FACE BY TEARING YOUR HEAD FROM YOUR CHASSIS!"

Cannonball sighs.
The time he gets on rock-duty, and a bleedin' fruitcake shows up.
He reaches up, tekking his radio on, and making a call.
//Cannonball t' Spinister. We got ourselves a three-faced loony. An' that ain't a metaphor.//
Then he turns back to Blitzwing. "Jus' be sittin' tight, lad, some stuff we gotta go through first." He grabs the datapad after popping his claw out, pulling up a word processing program, putting in the 'bot's name.
"Another bit o' questions - ye be avin' a spark or a laser core, or somethin' different?"

Gah, anger isn't helping matters. The face shifts once more back to a blue face.
"...I have to admit zat my patience is being tried here." Then again, perhaps Cannonball already knew that. "I possess a spark." He tilts his head. "What is zis 'laser core'?"

"A target," Spinister answers Blitzwing's question, as he saunters in nonchalantly.
He takes Blitzwing in with a glance. Looks like a Blitzwing, but taller. He's not seeing what Cannonball means about three faces, but he guesses he'll figure out soon.
Placing a hand on his chest, right over his Decepticon symbol, Spinister introduces, "I'm Spinister. Mayhem Attack Squad." A pause. "If you don't know what that means, don't worry."
He looks over the controls, head tilting thoughtfully. "I'm just the man with the keys.

Spinister has the key? Cannonball-mun thought Cannonball had the key!
Or maybe it's the metaphorical key of giving Blitzwing approval to leave the cell?
Either way!
"A target is befittin', I s'pose. It's wot some Transformers 'ere 'ave instead o' sparks." Cannonball makes a note on his datapad. "What o' these rings a bell for ye: Unicron, Primus, All Spark, Matrix, Cyber Planet Key, Mini-Con... I think that's all the big ones."

Hmm. Blitzwing has decided he likes this gaudily coloured one's style. "I do not," he says, matter of factly.
Then Cannonball has his questions. "Ze only zing I know of in zat list is Ze All Spark." Perhaps this one doesn't know anything about it, given his question. "...It is ze source of all Transformer life."
He turns to the one who claimed he had the key, his irritation apparent. "I see no purpose for zese questions to be carried out whilst I am still incarcerated."
Well, there is at least one reason displayed right now as once more as his face shifts suddenly. A crazy ghoulish face addresses Spinister. "Zo do you have ze keys?! Do you have D Minor? Perhaps we could all zing 'Jailhouse Rock'!"

Cannonball also has the keys. Spinister is just being vaguely threatening in a very low-key, subdued way.
He replies, almost cheerfully, "I prefer A-Sharp."
Ah, so this is what Cannonball meant about three faces. Spinister looks over at the pirate meaningfully now. Then, he assures Blitzwing, "Just need to verify that you stand with the Decepticons and against the Autobots before we let you out."
'Standing with the Decepticons' including 'not randomly killing Decepticons'.

Cannonball notes this response as well, saving the document and placing the datapad back on the table. "Jus' the general way o' doin' things 'ere when folks pop in." He shakes his head at the display of Random Blitzwing, almost shuddering. He's got a bad feeling about this one.
Then he looks over at Spinister, spinning the keyring around his finger. "I've got my side done. Anything you need t' tell or ask 'im before I let 'im loose?"

"OF COURSE I AM WID DE DECEPTICONS!!" Blitzwing yells, pounding a fist into an open palm. "ANYONE WHO TRIES TO TELL ME I AM ANYT'ING ELSE, IS A MICROCYCLE AWAY FROM DENTED PLATING AND A TANK-TREAD FACELIFT!!"
"And zen, to complete ze makeover, we can spruce zem up with zis seasons colours! Purple is all ze rage in New Kaon!"
And then finally, Blitzwing composes himself. "...Zat is to say: I have served loyally with ze Decepticons for over four million stellar cycles, on ze command ship of Megatron himself, leader of all ze Decepticons. If zis ship is a collection of other-world Decepticons, I will serve wit' you."
