Mindwipe straightens up again, even stepping a couple of steps away from Slugslinger. Hng. Nothing but a troublemaker, this one. He ignores the barb, turning his attention to Eye-Fire. "Yes, that's pretty much how you do it. Those who buy into it either, as you say, have brain damage, or are just set on having -someone- tell them how to go about their lives." He chuckles faintly. "On Earth, there's a whole business dedicated to it."

Rook lands back on the roof of the snack kiosk. It's clearly not safe to play shoulder-parrot with all this jostling going on. "Stupidity is a common malady, and not restricted to organics."

"Well, not unexpected for humans. They always sounded odd to me." Eye-Fire says. Despite them being able to make some very nice guns, Eye-Fire always suspected that humans were somewhat stupid. He'd regard them like puppies, if he knew what one was.
He pointedly ignores Slugslinger. If he wants a prank war with the assassin that knows the duct system of Ship very well, he shall have it.

"Oh, I get it." Slugslinger pulls an insulted face and swings his hand harder this time, aiming to crack Eye-Fire solidly on the back. "Too good to pay up. Sure, be that way. See if I make bets with you again, you one-eyed stick in the mud." Then he shrugs. "Humans are worthless sacks of water and protein," he agrees, rolling with the flow of conversation for now. Either he has to figure out what really makes these guys tick or consider some better material, because they're so boring when they play the too-cool-to-get-angry card. "But there might be one who comes along and surprises you." In the worst way.
Hm. Don't the Decepticons have some canned meat running around? Best to cover his bases.
"The ones that turn into guns aren't too bad, though, I guess." They blow things up for the Decepticons, right? That's a point in their favour.

Mindwipe nods at Rook, the notion rather sage-like. "Quite true, and I intend to take full advantage of that here soon."
A momentary pauses. "I will admit that humans do make some rather curious forms of entertainment, at least. That and serving us are at least useful traits of theirs."
Mindwipe then glances back up at Rook. "I'm ready for shopping when you are," he says. Because this blue jet fellow is grating on my nerves, though that part is kept to himself.

"Those are Nebulans, actually," Rook corrects Slugslinger. "Remarkably similar to humans, save for a few key differences. A true coincidence of convergent evolution, or an argument for panspermia."
Consulting his internal chronometer, he adds "As it so happens, my flight should be departing soon." Funny how these things work out. "You're welcome to accompany me if the shuttle isn't full."

"I could fit even if the shuttle is full. Mindwipe, you are a jet, correct?" Eye-Fire asks. These guys, excepting Slugslinger, aren't too bad.
He stumbles somewhat under the impact from Slugslinger's 'pat'. As he straightens up he clenches his right hand for a second, considering kneecaping the oaf while the rest of them make their escape. He decides against it, but will be looking about the med bay later for something to put in Slugslinger's bed tonight.
OOC- I'd be good for it.

Great, the ladies want to have a shopping trip. Slugslinger backs off, leaning against the rail again and gripping it with both hands to either side of his hips.
"I'm sure a group outing is all the rage for you lot," he drawls, "but I'm gonna have to pass. Maybe if you sort out how to pull the spanners outta your exhausts – or whatever it is you've got – you'll be worth my time. Have fun doing whatever it is you bores like to do." Then he hops up so he's halfway sitting on the railing… and he tips right on over, dropping for the promenade and out of sight. He'll have to find somewhere else to enjoy himself.
OOC: Slugslinger's out of thread.

All three of Mindwipe's optics half-close in an approximation of a smiling expression at Rook. "Excellent!" Then Mindwipe nods at Eye-Fire. "Yes, yes, a bombing jet. Why do you ask?"
He then waves to Slugslinger - "Good journey!" he calls out, then his shoulders droop as the jet falls out of sight. "...hopefully into a wall. Or the ground," he adds in a mumbling tone.

"Insufferable boor," Rook huffs as the jet disappears over the railing. "I hope he's at least a decent soldier on the battlefield, because he is a liability off it." Rook is already composing his response for when they have to bail Slugslinger out of jail in his head.
