Day 18
Blackarachnia strides confidently down the hall. While she definitely does not like being in such close company to so many, and for such a long time, at least she is not constantly derided here. All and all, it hasn't been too bad.
At least until that nut Blitzwing showed up and someone put him in her room!
So now she's in search of a place to settle in for a bit of piece and quiet. Maybe she'll find it in this lounge.

Well, she'll have to look harder for peace, as Cannonball is currently being the best at laziness and crudeness in the lounge, with a flask of high-grade. Seeing the spidery lady coming in, he stands. Hm...he seems to remember some rumbles about her, same name as the other spider lady...
"Oi, ye be the new Blackarachnia, right?"

Also in the lounge, busy being his quiet self, is Shortround. Who has more than likely been busy staying out of trouble and enjoying not having to do too much work on the ship, and is now mentally filling details about what he should do when he gets back to Cybertron, most of which involve toys.
When he hears Cannonball talk, he jolts to attention and looks up, being generally scared as-is of the regular Blackarachnia. And, at a glance, Shortround is quite confused. The regular Blackarachnia was an all too spidery robot who was the type of things his nightmares were made off, where as this one was... Quite pleasant looking, and with a pair of very dangerous looking spikes sticking up from her back.
Shortround is too busy staring at the newcomer to notice anything else at the moment, however.

Hey, what do you know. There's a Blitzwing sitting off to one side reading a book. Maybe Blackarachnia will spot some similarities, maybe not.
For his part, Blitzwing glances from his book (The Neutron Demons of Gecki Twelve) before putting it down on a side table and waiting to see how she answers. He'll ask his own questions once he can see what she thinks of the smaller spider. He does though notice Shortround obliviously staring at Blackarachnia.
"Pick your vocalizer plate up off the floor, Shortround."

.....
As big as this ship is, as many empty rooms and places of rest and recreation, and she picks the full one. It is tempting, highly tempting to turn on her heel and walk right back out. But such an action would be entirely too conspicuous.
So instead she saunters on in, answering Cannonball as she does so.
"'New'? Honey, don't talk me about like I'm fresh off the assembly line." She pauses as she walks by Shortround to try and do the stereotypical "close your jaw" move: index finger pressing up lightly (well, maybe not so lightly) to the underside of Shortround's mouthplate. "Or in anyway related to that poor imitation you've all been suffering with for so long."
She seats herself on the couch, arranging her bestle with ease. She crosses her legs, drapes one arm across the couch back and the other upon its arm. A curious sort of smile sits upon her lips.
Hmmm, how much trouble can she get up to?

Plenty of trouble, with Cannonball around.
Cannonball follows her, helping himself to the spot next to her on the couch, a cocky grin plastered on his face. "Well, be pardonin' me, lass - ye be new t' me. Mebbe I'd best come up with a new distinguishin' term..." he says, stroking his chin with his hand. Yeah, Cannonball didn't quite catch what she said. He's a little preoccupied because holy crap woman on the ship.
Despite the pirate thinking his fortune may turn around in adventures with the fairer sex, he's going to doom them himself.
After a moment, he snaps his fingers, grinning. "Aha, I got it. 'Ow 'bout Bigrachnia?" Once he asks, though, he looks puzzled, glancing her over. "Only works in one sense, though, as in me travels, I've certainly seen bigger chestplates..." And yes, he is openly staring there.

Shortround completely snaps out of his curious staring when she walks up and touches him on the faceplate. Namely, because he's quite near to outright panicking. And when she moves on, Shortround scoots closer to Blitzwing, so in case something happens he might be able to hide behind the triple former.
Shortround, easy to scare? Naaah. However, he sighs when Cannonball finishes talking. "This isn't going to end well..." he mutters out loud.

So, Cannonball can be trusted to put his foot in his mouth around women and Shortround is either terrified of women, terrified of spiders. Or possibly both, Blitzwing wouldn't put it past Shortround. Blitzwing looks down at Shortround and shrugs. Cannonball getting into trouble isn't any concern of Blitzwings, unless said trouble happens to be amusing or involves Blitzwing in an advisory capacity.
"There weren't a large amount of females where your from, right Cannonball?" He says to Cannonball, before turning to Blackarachnia again.
"Names Blitzwing, by the way. Liken me in anyway to that other one and we'll be on less than friendly terms."

Blackarachnia quirks one set of optics up as Cannonball so confidently claims the seat next to her. Even through the insult (for insult it is) and the leering, that curious smile never leaves her face.
Of course, this is because she is currently imagining vivsecting Cannonball.
She watches Shortround scurry close to Blitzwing. How amusing. The funny looking little guy is shy. Or easily spooked. Either way, he'll be fun. She waves at him, then says to Blitzwing,"You've had the same face for more than three seconds. Not like I can easily get you and Lugnut's boyfriend mixed up. Who's your shy little friend there?" The smile she fixes on Shortround is down right predatory.
While she's been talking, and without even looking at the pirate, the arm on the back of the couch has slipped down so that she can trail her (very sharp) fingertips along the back of Cannonball's neck.

Cannonball cuts a glare at Blitzwing, scowling. "There were plenty o' females in my universe! It's -this- one that's been lacking. Been here since shortly after people started showin' up. Not my fault this 'Ell 'ole 'as been lacking."
Somewhere in that, he means to compliment Blackarachnia, somehow.
However, he is soon distracted by the spider-lady's claws on his neck, sending a rattling shiver all through his frame, putting that lecherous grin back on his face. "Oi... I don't suppose you've 'ad a proper tour of th' ship yet, 'ave ye?" Cannonball is totally a good tour-giver. His quarters are the highlight. Unless Wreckage or Shrapnel happen to be there. Knowing Cannonball's luck, they would be.

Shortround nods to Cannonball's comment. "Plus the only females here either sound like guys, are insane, or are creepy and tiny" he adds. And then he looks back at Blackarachnia, and freezes up from that smile.
"Uh... I'm uh... Shortround" he says, nervously. "You're uh, nicer looking than the other females around here..." he adds, half mumbling.

"As in, you actually look female. And large enough so we don't have to worry about stepping on you." Blitzwing says as he leans back and stretches, then sits upright again. Blitzwing doesn't trust this new Blackarachnia, but then he doesn't really trust anybody. He also doesn't like the look she's giving Shortround. Shortround is meant to be afraid the triplechanger, not the spider right now, so Shortround will go get him a cube if Blitzwing asks for one. With Blackarachnia around he'll most likely just trip over his feet or walk into a wall.
"So what is it exactly you do? Its nice to know exactly what I can or can't ask you to do in a fight." Blitzwing says as he sits forward in his chair.

"Hmmm? Oh, I do a lot of things, but I'm best at turning an opponent's best assets against them," she purrs. "I'm very good at...improvising."
One nail dips into Cannonball's collar seam.
"And I have noticed the dearth of other ladies around here. It seems gender is an odd concept in more realities than not. But thank you soooo much for the compliment, Shortround. It is much appreciated." Another sexy smile.
She twists toward Cannonball, which brings more of her body in contact with his. "Now, really, do I look so innocent as to fall for that sorry old line? Next thing, you'll be asking me to come to your room and have a look at your etchings." She tilts her head and pointedly looks him over. "If it weren't for your obvious hatred of the letter aitch, you might stand a chance. Speech impediments tend to be a personal turn off of mine."

Cannonball is absolutely loving this attention his neck, really. He's almost convinced he might even be dreaming. If he is, he's thankful it's not about Wreckage's legs, Hook's butt, or Hook's face possessing someone's butt. (Don't ask. This universe has been very, very taxing on the pirate.)
...then she shoots down his totally genius plan, and criticizes his pronunciations. His jaw clenches, and his optic band flares slightly. "...bugger, you're in league wit 'Ook, aren't ye, wench? Ain't a bleedin' speech impediment." Cannonball straightens up, raising his gun arm to bat Blackarachnia's arm away. Awful mouthy, this one.

Yes, Cannonball, call the Spider lady wench. See how far that gets you. If Blitzwings any judge it might get him as far as medical, or just a discreet scrap heap somewhere. "Improvising just another way of saying your up the Creek and only have an empty energon cube, three rusted screws and half a diode to fashion into a paddle." Blitzwing points out lazily.
"If you'd tell me, in general terms, your profession I could point out or direct you where your likely to be working. If your a soldier, I could also point out where the holo rooms are." Blitzwing says, standing up to get to a cube dispenser and get himself one. He'll contemplate getting others.
