Space harbour main entrance, day 13 - Open Thread to all.
Today, the work schedule read: R&R.
R&R day! No mechs to obey, no chores to fulfil, free leisure time happy fun day! Nothing ever got through to Mistwind as fast as that meaning did..
Whether someone is or isn't with him, his steel-blue & sandy-bleached self positively shines at the top of a majestic staircase that is the front entrance of the space-port. It took him a while to get from the murky back-lot where Ship is parked to here, but all for the sake of play.
"Let's go! Let's go!" He strengthens his stance and punches a fist into the air, citizens of PZ-Zazz walking past ignoring the kid, "Adventure and candy awaits! Such is the mission!! Location: The City!" And down the stairs he goes!

Pz-Zazz and Wheelie are a match made by the Allspark itself.
Of course, Wheelie hasn't yet actually gone out to explore the planet itself, but whenever he could he sneaked out of the Event Horizon (like anyone would miss him though), hitched a ride on one of the shuttles that went down from the space station, explored the more murky parts of the surface space port, listened in on people talking, 'found' some lost wallets (it's okay, no other Autobots are watching!) and looking at all the travellers, who almost never noticed him because of his tiny size. Oh, sure, giant organics are always terrifying, but thankfully there were also a lot of human-like aliens, down to all the curves and, ehehehe, right clothing.
(Wheelie will treasure those upskirt pictures forever.)
But the seedy parts just became, well, too boring after a while. And Wheelie knows like no other that the real dirt can always be found in the most prestine areas....As well as the fattest wallets. So here he was, sneaking around in robot mode, going from beneath a trashcan to a random decorative bush, always staying in the shadows, blue and red optics focused on the crowd, being all stealthy, except..."Eheheh, I would love to polish those hoofs...Oooh, fat rich guy at 10 o'clock...Wow, that purse is open, what a moron! They make it way too easy, as soon as she sits down, KAPOW! No wait, too big, though I coulda hide it later..."
Yeah, Wheelie kinda fails at stealth, as the lady looking around in panic and quickly zipping up her bag can attest. It's a good thing that he's hiding in the bushes and is so damn small, or he'd be busted in five seconds flat. But then, Wheelie sees something that's a bit more...Interesting. A robot kid, hopping around, seemingly unsupervised, mostly polished armor, so likely a rich kid...In other words, an easy target. "Oh yeah, like stealin' candy from a baby!" The blue gremlin grins lecherously and sneaks after the kid, staying to the shadows, and even sneaking into an open vent when there's little cover.

Mistwind by now has made it to the end of the stairs, and proceeds to head for the exit. He, gasp, does not notice Wheelie, despite the fact that his systems are running highs on all sensory fields. They just aren't pointed to small, skittery and sneaksy Autobots.
With dramatic cartoon fashion, the double doors slide open for the little Decepticon, revealing wonderland in all its grim, dark and distorted glory of wealth versus crime.
Mistwind, engage!

Shortly after Mistwind has made it to the doors, Wheelie comes bouncing down the stairs, going "Doh! Ow! Gak! Argh!" with each step until finally coming to a standstill...By landing face first into the ground. "Razzumfrazzum" Once his muffled grumbling is over he finally stands up again, just in time to see that the kid has already gone through the doors.
Doors that are now closing.
Quickly, Wheelie shifts into his altmode and whirrs through the doors. It takes him a few seconds to spot the kid again, but once he does he's off in pursuit again, staying to the shadows and waiting for a chance to snatch whatever riches the kid has.

Wheelie gets a chance as Mistwind notices that one of his shoelaces is untied. "Ah darn... stupid clothes!" he grumbles, adjust his hat and crouches to tie up. The light turns green, but he's busy.

Naturally, not a lot of people are pleased that the kid stops in front of the green light, to say the least. They curse him out with words that a child just shouldn't hear, but Wheelie doesn't care about that. The only thing he cares about are those open pockets! Quickly, he transforms back into robot mode and zig-zags through the legs, and once he's near enough to the kid he approaches him from behind and reaches up, hand carefully slipping into the pocket...Should the kid notice, then all he will see sitting there is a blue RC truck.
With a blue Decepticon symbol tampo'ed on the hood.
Woops.

Mistwind ignores the people easily. Hey, he's just sitting here.
Inside the pockets, Whirligig can feel an unidentified metal sphere, but Mistwind notices a strange presence on his form that is not him. He stops, then turns around.
A car. A... toy car....? He looks at it, then at the symbol, tilting his head. "What the...? OH! It's a gift from Screwdriver!" He bends to pick it up, searching the crowd for the Junkion, "Jun-ki-on De-cep-ti-con come out come out and play with me!"
There is no rust-colored girl here to amuse him.... and the green light begins to blink, warning that it won't be green much longer.
Mistwind turns and crosses the road quickly. "I don't know what you do, but you're coming with me on adventure!"

Wow, this kids has balls. Heavy balls, maybe even valuable ones! But befoire he can snatch one he feels the kid turning around, and barely manages to transform in time, pretending to be a RC truck that somebody just dropped!
But the last thing he expected was for the kid to pick him up. He remains completely still, hoping the kid will just drop him and be on his way again...And then the kid calls out a Decepticon.
Oh.
Slag.
Now, instead of just remaining still he is frozen in fear, paralyzing panic keeping a tight grip on his mind. Thankfully, no Decepticons show up, but that doesn't change the fact that this kid still knows what Decepticons are and that he might be friends with one!
For now, Wheelie will keep playing the innocent little toy car, but as soon as Mistwind puts him down he is out of there.

Friends with a Decepticon? Oh, he might just know a few..... Mistwind keeps trotting down the street, now sating curiosity by examining the RC car from various angles. It's blue with wheels, he likes!
"I wonder what you can do.... Screwdriver's gifts always do something cool... you have an antennae.... are you a surveillance device?" He looks at the car's front, frowning, "is this a monitored excursion?"
Walking on towards the central district, Mistwind suddenly brightens, "ooooooh I get it! I'm to make a log of my mission! I can so do that!"

Nooo, of course not, this is just a regular RC monster truck, nothing special about it!
For a second, Wheelie wonders what the kid is talking about. Excursion? Mission? It sounds almost as if....Naaah, surely not. Decepticons don't wear clothes, that's preposterous! But what if...Oh no. Oh no oh no OH NO.
Now well and truly scared slagless, he is all too willing to play along, even ejecting his one eye and a radardish, for all intents and purposes looking like a reconnaissance drone tailor made for Mistwind. Hopefully, if he lets the kid do what he want he'll have a chance to escape...Damnit, next time he's sticking to organic targets!

"......."
"Voice activation! This is high tech....!" Mistwind croons as he watches the lens and radar emerge. He'd almost poke the lens, because it is darn poke-worthy, but realises that a broken lens won't be able to log anything.
Wheelie keeps his eye intact! "Oh well, let's see, this is a mission! So I must log this good!.... but how?" He turns the car around and 'videos' himself, thinking. Then he brightens up, "Alright! It is day start and we, car and me, are gonna infiltrate the city of FUN!"
With a large dizzying swoosh, the street comes into view. Along with an inhabitant violently being robbed of its possessions. "Oooh, I did that once too!"
If that exclamation were to spark any more worries with Wheelie, he has something else coming up as the continueing Mistwind slows in front of a very high and ambitiously constructed water fountain.....
----------- Note: So far, all handling of Wheelie by Mistwind has been done with player permission.

Thank the Allspark, that's his one good eye as well! You know, the one that wasn't horribly mauled by a blowtorch.
The swoosh leaves Wheelie dizzy, and if Mistwind glances down he can even see the optic behind the lense going all spinny, one of the antenna on it twitching. The inhabitant being mugged doesn't really bother him, but once Mistwind makes that little comments, poor Wheelie gets flashbacks to some rather unpleasant memories. Especially when he spots the fountain up ahead.
Maybe he should stop being so paranoid of the Autobots already. What was the "OHGODHELPME" frequency again?

Oh, Mistwind isn't glancing. He's walking with purpose, jumping over the fountain's border right into the knee-deep water.
The fountain is like a canal maze, water falling down to plateaus before taking winding paths to the next drop. Waterfalls everywhere. The best part of it (and what ultimately called Mistwind's attention) is that the canals can be opened and shut down to change where the water's going.
The little Con eagerly begins to climb the structure, intended to go all the way to the top. Along the way, he opens canals and shuts down others.
Holding his toy car up high, he never stops crooning and giggling, "this will be so much fun!!" With a last push to the top of the fountain, he eyes the maze below, "Eeny meeny miny moe, down the water car will go...."

Wheelie is finding it tremendously difficult to keep it together. He trembles in Mistwind's hands, the urge to transform high, but if he does that the kid can crush him right then and there. Hell, all of Wheelie's escape plans end that way, or a variation of it.
....Well, maybe not all of them.

Wheelie's mayday call didn't really get anyone to come and save his skidplate, did it?
With a grand swoosh and bright laughter, Mistwind drops the RC toy car into the flowing water!
