"Heh... well, I don't think I'd dent the sidewalk, but I'm not a real big bulky mech, so I think the sidewalk would dent ME instead." Bluestreak laughs a bit. "So... uh... hey Long Haul, how's Tiny? Haven't seen her around for awhile. She behaving herself?"

Boondocker chuckles again. "Jes whut ah's gittin' at, Blue."
However, he takes on a confused look again. (This is a usual thing for the poor 'bot.) "Who's 'Tiny'?"

"Oh, yeah, Tiny's fine," Long Haul tells Bluestreak. "She's gettin' to the point where we can let her wander around on her own and all. Getting to be real well behaved!"
Of course, part of why Long Haul is saying this is because he has not yet turned towards the table, where Tiny has finished sniffing at the energon and is, instead, drinking it.
Instead of looking towards the table, Long Haul addresses Boondocker. "Oh, Tiny's a small mecha-dragon. About yay big," he holds his hands out to demonstrate, "silvery with blue eyes and wings. Pretty cute. We found her on this very rooftop - how we found the place, actually, listening to her squaling. Had to kill the parent, so we've been taking care of her."

Bluestreak grins at Boondocker, then at Long Haul. "She is a pretty cute thing. And I'm glad she's behaving herself and all... but if you ever need someone to look after her, Long Haul, I can do that. Wouldn't mind a bit."
He moves to stand up, but his CPU swims at the maneuver and he sits back down again quickly. "Whoa... uh... guess I'm not used to the high-grade..."

OOC: Boondocker skipped due to time-out.
Speak of the dragon...
Tiny comes waddling across the dance floor, barely avoiding being stepped on once or twice. She sways even more than normally when she walks, and she moves in nothing closely resembling a straight line, but she does move, heading in Long Haul's general direction.
Then she hiccups.
The noise is enough to catch Long Haul's attention, and he turns around and laughs. "I may be taking you up on that sooner than you'd think, Bluestreak," he says as he spots the little dragon heading in their direction.

Turning slightly, Boondocker peers over at the dragon, chuckling at her current state. "Cute indeed, an' a lil' tipsy. Might wanna hold off on lettin' Blue take care of 'er. Looks like he's havin' enough trouble tryin' t' stand up."

Bluestreak spots Tiny and can't help a laugh. "Whoops, looks like someone got into the strong stuff." At Boondocker's comment he gives standing up another shot, moving veeeerrrrryyyy slowly to avoid any mishaps. "I can stand, just need to take it easy..."

Long Haul winces as Emirate Xaaron shouts at him from across the party, and he shouts back, "Sorry!" Then he grumbles and goes to scoop up the little drunk dragon. "Bad Tiny! You only eat things with the Decepticon symbol on them, remember?" he lectures the dragon. The dragon, for her part, looks around fuzzily, smiles, and hiccups, this time emitting a little spurt of flame. OOC: Up to you guys who, if anyone, that flame is heading towards.

Boondocker leans in toward Tiny as Long Haul scolds her. "Aw, don' be too hard on 'er. Can't get mad at a face like that, after al--"
He's cut off by the hic-torch, it ashing up his face a bit.
"...spoke too soon."

That did it. At Tiny's ill-timed hiccup and Boondocker's comment, he bursts out laughing. And being as relaxed as he is right now, it's a lot harder and longer than he'd intended. He has to sit down, he's laughing so hard, but he misses the chair/crate and falls on his aft on the floor, still laughing.
"Oh frag..." he guffaws. "That... was priceless..."

Long Haul also guffaws long and hard. "Hur hur hur hur hur!"
Long Haul doesn't have what you'd call a pleasant laugh.
Once he's recovered from his laughing, however, he lifts Tiny a little, turns her to face him, and looks up at her. "No, Tiny! You do that at the people with the purple symbol, not the red one! Purple symbol!"
She hiccups again, bathing Long Haul's non-face in a brief gout of flame.
Long Haul sighs.

Boondocker can't help but snicker at himself as well. Gotta be a good sport, after all! However, he laughs out loud once Tiny gets Long Haul in on the charred face action. "Ehehehehe... Maybe she's colorblind?"

Heh, looks like Bluestreak's the only untoasted mech in Tiny's vicinity right now.
He manages, with some difficulty, to get to his feet, and he reaches out to scratch Tiny's head if she'll allow it. "Aww, I'm sure she'll get it down one of these days. She's still a baby, after all."

Long Haul shifts his hold so that he's cradling Tiny in one arm, leaving the other one free. With the free arm he reaches up and scratches the top of his head in confusing.
"Colorblind?" he asks Boondocker (and Bluestreak. It's just a general asking). "Why would anyone design a colorblind mecha-dragon?"
Never mind the question of why someone would design a mecha-dragon to begin with.
The transport lets his attention wander, and looks around the rooftop. He tilts his head. "Why's Skyblast all gold-colored alla the sudden?"

Boondocker shrugs at Long Haul's question. "Ah dunno why someone would, was jes' a thought. Mighta went bad due to wearin' out?"
Boondocker then looks to where Long Haul is, and sees the golden Skyblast turn into a VW Bug.
And then Bumblebee flashes Goldbug, and turns into a Bug. And then they go off...
"...jus' how many Bumblebees y'all got hyar, anyway?"
