//Is big talk from one who is running away!// It's not important that the entire point of tag is to run away from whoever is 'it'.
Focused on tagging his brother, Jetfire isn't nearly as observant about the whereabouts of their group as Jetstorm. He takes advantage of his brother's distraction to attempt a mid-air tackle.

Ramulus purrs and sniffs the air, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. He completely ignores the Maximal and Autobot going head to head verbally. It is a match he has no interest in.
Ramulus also ignores the babblings of Elita about wanting to buy the trinket. If she wants to.... He's not saying an awful lot, is he?
That could be because he's walking on, systems humming. Slinking off behind a household's laundry, like he knows the meaning of 'discreet', the Maximal undoes himself of his archaeologist's suit and transforms, walking out at the other side like nothing happened.
He wouldn't do this without a reason: Ramulus takes on the soil itself with the deep scanners. It unlikely he would find the same material here, but mapping out the geological structures of areas is what he loves to do. So he does so anytime.

"It would have been a good thing to know," Blackarachnia comments blandly, "It probably wouldn't have stopped me from attempting a download, but I might have been a bit more... prepared for all the possibilities."
She shudders, "I really don't know how you lot stand being tied to them like that."
At least Needlenose can rest easy knowing he doesn't have to worry about Blackarachnia trying anything kinky now.
"Don't think it was a bird...," she shoots off a few more questions at Diverlo, then says, "No, it wasn't. It was an egg. Rumored as many are, to be the god egg of Pz-Zazz or some such nonsense. I take it the bird thing is important in your reality too?"
The shopkeeper looks very pleased to be selling the carved egg piece, almost eager. He carefully tries to take the egg back and wrap it in a soft cloth for Elita. Her question however, makes him frown.
"I know, yes, but should not be doing. They disturbed the nest of the Great Bird. Bad things happen there, very bad things." he sighs and shakes his head, "Down at end of street. Cuerva gives... tours." Ramulus will not find the same exact material in the immediate vicinity, however he perhaps will notice that the makeup of the rock and the makeup of the earth shares some similarities.

"Well, sometimes things stick better if they take you by surprise," Needlenose answers Blackarachnia all too cheerfully, and then he shrugs. "But we get used to it. What's the point of being a Transformer if you can't adapt to a little change now and then?"
He rubs his chin thoughtfully as Blackarachnia clarifies the bird issue. "Egg, huh? No, in my reality it was definitely a bird, and definitely important. We had originally come to Pz-Zazz following rumors of an object that seemed to have Matrix-like properties, turned out it was some bird statue."
He lowers his hands and lets them brush against his legs. "So, we going to get this show on the road?"

Elita-1 blinks in surprise at the offers of monetary assistance. "You guys don't have to do that!" she protests, "I can afford it. I just won't have a lot left after."
"But, um, thank you." she finally says, accepting the help. She adds the carefully wrapped egg to her bag.
Elita listens to the shopkeeper's warning, then turns to her companions with a smirk.
"Well. Does anyone not want to check out the temple ruins, now?"

"Yer assuming that you'll get close enough." Guzzle snaps back, his optics squinting into the best challenging look he can muster, before his attention is drawn by the other femme in the group speaking up! Guzzle looks at her and then at the crowd around them, grumbling a little "Feh, fine," before sending the lizard one last challenging look and instead turning around to glare at the jet twins. "HEY! Could ya stop that before you smash into something!?"
The gunman shakes his head as he grumbles, turning to face Elita-1 when she speaks up, giving her a little shrug. He doesn't care really, though at least there will be lesser people staring at him there. "Feh, why not?"

Dinobot turns to Glyph, then Elita-1. "Hnn, you are correct Glyph. I am in error. This is not the place. I apologize if I upset you," he says to the shopkeep, inclining his head. "I will also contribute toward purchasing your trinket," he growls, fishing some shanix from his pouch and placing the coins either in Elita's hand or on the counter. "A tour of the temple would be welcome change."

Aw, Glyph wanted to look at the egg more! Temples are neat and all, but even with the warning, the temple is an unknown as to what interesting things are there - The egg is within reach!
Ah well - Glyph can be patient.
"It would be rather interesting, yes!"

Jetfire manages to tackle his brother, who goes down and lands near the rest of the group. He's back up on his feet, and he totally missed Guzzle's scolding due to ...well, being tackled!
He pouts up at his brother, pointing up at him. "That is not how you are doing tag properly, brother! This isn't a ball of feet!"

Jetfire looks smug as he climbs to his feet and brushes himself off. "I am not hearing rules about 'no tackling', brother. You are just being sore because now you are the 'it'."
He doesn't go tearing off again to continue their game, though. He's finally noticed that the group has gathered and seems to be discussing something. "What is going up?"

Skipping Ramulus due to timeout
Blackarachnia shrugs, "I suppose. We've seen everything we can up top. I confess I'm not to thrilled about going wandering in underground ruins." Last time she ran about in a cave system, she almost died and got turned into a freak.
She calls out to Diverlo, who straightens and begins to trot toward them. With much head bowing and nervous politeness, he attempts to lead them down to the lowest level of excavation. There, an ornate carved doorway has been exposed, and one can hear the sounds of continued excavation from within.
Due to the convenience of plot-timing, the Autobot group will likely arrive on the edges of the upper levels in time for them to spot the Decepticons entering.

Needlenose ehs. "Not too thrilled with tunnel scrounging myself," he remarks casually as he accompanies Blackarchnia. "It's been a loooooong time since I wore a ground vehicle mode - they never were exactly fashionable among the Decepticons, y'know. Vosian influence too big for that."
Considering many of the Autobots were based underground, it probably would have been advantageous for some Decepticons to follow their pride and take some tunnel-useful modes, but Needlenose has ever put fashion over function.
He pauses a moment to examine the carvings around the door, checking for any familiar symbolism, though he doesn't focus on it for very long.

Glyph can look at the egg if she wants! She just needs to poke Elita into handing it to her!
"All right! Let's go poking around in places people say we shoudn't!" Because poking into places she shouln't and getting into trouble is totally what Elita-1 was created to do. Just ask the writers of Animated.
She leads the way down the street to the specified place. Provided everyone hands over the appropriate number of cruescos, Cuerva will happily lead the group to the temple site.
Elita, however, doesn't quite catch the significance of the other robots disappearing into the ruins.

//Heh. Sure, if ya like getting yer aft riddled with bullets.//
When the group starts moving again Guzzle is quick to follow, and when they get to the edge he shoots a brief quick glare at the twins (can those two remain still for even ONE second?)...And accidentall missing the two strangers heading into the ruins. Woops.

//You'd best be prepared to put your energon where your mouthplate is, Guzzle.//
The raptor takes up a position on Elita-1's left, calling to the twins "We're leaving to investigate a ruin. Keep up!"
Dinobot notices Blackarachnia and Needlenose disappearing through the ancient doorway, but isn't sure of their identities due to their clothing. "I think those two may be Decepticons," he asides to his companions. "We should be cautious, we may be walking into an ambush." Or maybe he's just being paranoid.
