Nightbeat offers a shrug as he tosses the last big piece of garbage into the trash. The rest could probably be washed or swept off... Assuming he could find a hose.
"You Dinos seen a hose anywhere?" he asks.
The thing that got him, the thing that really got him about all of this, he realized, was that this probably wasn't going to be the last time he ended up on this kind of detail. He was a good enough Autobot, sure, but in the long run, he just didn't play well with others. Sooner or later, he screwed up.
...And what the heck did he just step in?

Slag is liking the sound of this. A promise of stories!
And then Nightbeat has to go and need something.
Slag looks around, and quickly grows irritated. "Me Slag no see hose! You Nighteat hurry, me want story! Me say burn off! You have gun, it can work" he says, glaring at the trash in the hope that it will just burn up in front of him from his gaze.
Slag doesn't believe in patience. He wants story time.

"Me Grimlock no see any hose. No easy way out here." Stand tall. Stand firm. Stand your ground. Grrrrrr.

Great. Slag has to go and be impatient at him. Granted, this is better than having Emirate Xaaron go and be cryptic or sarcastic at him, but not necessarily by much. At least when called on the carpet before his glorious goldeness, Nightbeat has the option of quietly pretending to pay attention and supplying a "Yes, sir," at the appropriate breaks. Or just the even more noncommittal "Sir."
Nightbeat is very good at outwitting smart people. Nightbeat is very good at outwitting the average man on the street. What Nightbeat has discovered, however, is that it's almost impossible to outwit the stupid.
"Ah, figures." He scrapes the gunk off his foot, grumbling quietly. At least there's some cleanser in the supplies he brought up. Better than nothing.
It's almost enough to convince him to give up drinking.

A silver and pink figure saunters up from the ramp onto the rooftop
It's probably difficult for some to imagine the existance of the creation that jauntily sits on Jazz's winged helm, let alone why a race of organic creatures that are roughly the size of humans would want a lampshade that big.
Or why they would want one in a shade of pink that makes Arcee look washed out.
"Mornin'!" Jazz calls cheerfuly, as he seems to take in the recently picked up area. "Just lookin' for -- Oh. Hey."
Is that where the breakdancing was taking place, or was it over there?
And Jazz doesn't even appear to notice his 'hat'.

Slag isn't called Slag for no reason. Not only is he impatient, he has a temper.
"Me Slag want story! Me say hurry up so me Slag get story!" he roars, stomping on the spot. However, his tantrum is cut short by another Transformer showing up.
"... You have stupid hat" Slag says, glaring at the newcomer. "You also look funny"

Grimlock is indeed difficult to outwit.
In an alternate universe, that is. Nightbeat is just having bad luck today, because Grimlock is focused, and in robot mode. Also in a general irritated mood since Slag doesn't know when to keep his trap shut. He's about to give the other Dinobot another good clonk on the head when Jazz shows up. Grimlock's gotten over the usual 'hey you guys look weird' stuff, but he has yet to come across someone with a big pink hat on.
His question comes forth, addressed to the newcomer: "...why Jazz wear funny hat?"

Nightbeat boggles at Jazz's appearance. "Okay, now I know I'm hungover... but I'm not hallucinating. What the heck is up with that hat?"

Hat? Who's wearing a hat?
Jazz is wearing a lampshade, and isn't it rather fetching?
"Hmm?" Jazz asks, sounding a bit distracted. Perhaps he's talking with Botanica. Or perhaps he's contemplating the defenses that will be later put upon this rooftop. Or perhaps-- "Ah. There it is." Small object, quickly retrieved and put away. "I ain't got a hat. This is what happens when you let a buncha drunks loose in a deserted city." Jazz shakes his head ruefully, "You know. I thought this was better'n the giant orange cone thing."
Traffic cone, versus lampshade. And this part of the base is vulnerable to the air... best be thinking. Someone already asked him 'bout defenses.
*OOC* Sorry to take so long.

OOC: No problem
Slag just blinked at Jazz for a while, and shook his head.
"Grimlock" he said, turning to the Dinobot commander. "Me am think him come from more crazy universe with no hat"

Grimlock shrugs. "Him Jazz not far off from our Jazz, so me just do what me do when our Jazz do funny things."
That would be boggling while trying to ignore him. Can't be helped, though. Jazz is quite the attention getter.

Nightbeat laughs as he cleans. "Guess I wasn't the only one who had a little too much to drink."

"Too much?" Jazz laughs, "The only party I've been to in ages, an' it was kinda mild. Little excitement with the brawl in the middle, but still mild."
Jazz peers at Grimlock, wondering WWJD in the dinobot's home universe.
"So, you promise t' be good, lest you end up bein' the one with the orange cone on yer head, an' glitter paint on your aft?" Big grin. Another visual sweep of the area. Defenses. There's a weak spot where Jazz vaguely remembers Ironfire cracking the pavement. Or maybe that'd be a good spot to drill through so the emplacement would be steady-- but right now, the silver bot... has a date. Of sorts. "Have fun with the cleanin', Nightbeat."
Jazz grins widely, and offers Nightbeat the lampshade-- in the form of attempting to put it on the detective's noggin, if it would be allowed--
"Cuts down on the ambient light," He advises, "Good for what ails you."
And if there's nothing else, he's out of thread, heading... somewhere.
(OOC: If you'd like. I'm out unless someone stops me.)

Slag blinks at the proceedings. Huh, he sure did miss something...
He then glares at Nightbeat again, trying to force him to work harder with the power of his glare. After all, he promised stories, and Slag loves stories.
OOC: No problems here with closing up

Grimlock joins Nightbeat in the peering at Nightbeat, doing so until the detective is done. Then it's hassle-for-stories time!
--------- Also good with me. Can close it up here, then.
