1042/Little talks

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex is a few blocks away from the wine shop at this point Hes ducked down one of the alleys and is talking to a shady mech in a dark cloak. "I Know I normally dont do this but the heaviest stuff you have. The stuff even I dont buy normally." oh hes been sober since Garrus and hes looking for the dangerous stuff at this point.

**Goth has posed:**
Goth had gotten slightly lost, and was soaring over head, having gone out to meet up with Vortex, he'd flap his wings as he soared in the sky.. Very much enjoying his time up there, along with his new found confidence thanks to his recent combat session with Darkstar, which.. Was saying something, specially given he lost... An ear flicks as he picks up Vortex's voice signature.

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex finishes making an exchange with this mech, having no idea anone is here. He told the others he'd eet at the jump joint and hes just making a detour. He returns witha vial of osomething toxic, glowing and bright green. It bubbles dramatically and smokes, and is held by tongs. He takes the tongs, placing the vial in a small black box. "Thank you. I've been looking for this. Just inject a tiny bit and should be fine eh?" he gives a fairly large amount of shanix to the person. "See you this time next week for my normal supply. Thanks, Hush." the other person hes meeting with remains silent, and is perhaps a mute. The hooded 'Hush' bows his head and disappears into shadows of a cloaking device. Vortex leaves the alley, casually walking on his way to the Jump Joint. "Just one more detour to try this out and then the joint."

**Goth has posed:**
Goth would swoop downwards towards the Rotary, and let out a loud squeak, that he'd normally use in the dark when echolocating, but in this instance? He was using it as a greeting, and to alert Vortex he was there, and coming in for a landing.

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex looks up, seeing Goth and nods. "Ok.." he tries to hide the box quickly. "Hiii. Hi. Goth. Fancy seeing you here. Whatcha...whata doooin?" he says sounding every so guilty innocent.

**Goth has posed:**
     "Mainly enjoying the flight.. I.. Believe I nearly had Darkstar beat in our recent training session, I'm actually looking forward to facing the mech again." He'd chuckle. "But yes, I got side tracked on my way to the Jump join." He'd optics settled into half lidded position as he tilted his head at Vortex's strange behaviour. "And you?" The bat was in a good mood.

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex nods "Good. Good to hear. Im fine." he shifts his feet, his optics bright in a blush. "Im fine just...shopping. How are you....still with Dustoff?"

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth would come down for a landing and quirked a ridge, Vortex was acting odd, very odd, and then asks a at least to him, silyl question. "Of course, It's not been /that/ long, that matter we've yer run into trouble that suggest to us, that we would otherwise be better off separated." He'd chuff. "Why?" He'd ask as he dusted his hands off.

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex pauses and takes out a hypo and open his box. He starts to load it up "Oh no reason. Just curious. You're the best couple I've seen in a while right? I love seeing you two together." he loads that bubbling nasty into the hypo and brings it to his neck. "Hold on. Been mostly sober since Garrus."

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth kept his ridge up watching Vortex and looks at what Vortex's loading up squinting. "You mean as in stability and health?" He'd question. "I'm Dustoff's first, so going at it quite slow to allow him the room he needs to learn and figure this out, while being supportive as possible." He'd bring his hand to his chassis, right where that cloaking device would be, and he's silent in thought a moment, his optics softening.

      "Needless to say, he's helped me.. Gain, and regain some things, and I'd go quite the ways to ensure his safety, and happiness." He'd chuckle and look at the hypo. "Uhh.. Vortex, what /is/ that?"

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex smiles. "Aww, that's adorable." he says. "Good Im glad its a slow burn. Won't burn out so.." he shivers as whatever was in the hypo hits his systems, his optics glowing a bright yellow-gold for a moment, before returning to a brighter then normal crimson. "So fast. Its good he's helped you though." he shivers. "I dont know. Hush was...well he doesnt talk he's Hush, but...he knows what I like. When I need to escalate. This is several levels above what I normally take and three times as expensive but. Goth, the colors. You should try some." he prepares a second injection, giggling.

**Goth has posed:**
     "Ah..Hah.. I'd suggest not doing a second then, your system is likely not capable of handling such just yet due to weakening resistances." He'd explain, knitting his ridges, there was really nothing he could do to /stop/ Vortex, but just advise him. "And no Thank you, my health is quite poor as is, and I rather not mess up what Dustoffs fixed." He'd chuckle.. It was true, Goth was in much better health then when he'd come to the planet, and they first met.

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex frowns under his mask "you're not up to speed? Sorry to hear that. How can I help?" he doesnt inject the second one. He shakes a bit. "Wow. This is...strong. Lets get drunk."

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex starts to get really high. And that means his mouth to radio is off. "Boss? Lieutenant..." He ays. "I'm really happy for you. Honest. No jokes. You guys be happy and guys? Its about damn time. I just want you to be happy. And you both deserve it. I am glad you found each other, Ons. Blast Off." he has no idea he said any of that aloud.

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth frowns and thinks a moment. "...Yes Vortex, I've been... Not well for a while, actually why I went to drinking, couldn't smoke any more due to some heavy rust deep in my ventilation systems." He'd explain as he walked along with Vortex. "...Honestly first I've felt, well, in /vorns/" He'd state with a chuckle. "Alright then, suppose it's a good thing I wondered off the path then." He'd smile to Vortex, that's right, the bat SMILED at Vortex!

      He then raises a ridge again at Vortex. Unsure if what he's saying is an actual truth, or just Vortex being high.

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex nods "that sounds nasty. Im sorry about that. My body is fairly new and I havent realyl destroyed it yet. Have you.." He pauses. "have you tried shooting up things? It is a good side with drinking." he says. "Did.. I just..say my radios aloud?" he seems horrified.

**Goth has posed:**
     "Why you hear my vents wheezing so loudly sometimes." He'd nod. "By shooting up, do you mean Drugs or actually shooting up a place?" He'd ask with a raised ridge, before tilting his head side to side. "And.. Yes, I suspect now, give by your reaction, that you have." He'd chuckle.

      "Should be careful, I may not be one to repeat what I hear, but those in bar? Will not be."

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex nods "I noticed that. I always thought it was the you know..." He says "I always thought it was your adjustment to cybertron. Do you miss your home?" hea sks softly. "I dont want to go to the bar. Im saying things now and I told them I wouldnt..you wont tell will you?" he says. "You just saw me inject something. I do it all the time." he says. "And shooting up a place? done that too." he shrugs.

**Goth has posed:**
     "Oh no, I may have been born on a distant planet, but I still retain the same mechology /most/ Cybertronians have, remember, the original beast-formers on my planet, originally came from here." he'd explain. "...Yes.. I miss it quite a lot, and my old cavern home." He'd reply softly, looking up at the sky above. "I'd love for Dustoff to be able to see it one day but.. ah.." He knows that could never be, he'd look back down as he walked.

      "Of course not, I am not one to talk, after all, for the first few mega-cycles, I and Dustoff kept our own relationship secret." He'd chuckle. "Ahhh.. Ehh, If I did that i'd likely be right banned from the place, and Why would I do that when I /want/ to be plastered beyond recognition." He'd snort. "But yes.. I don't think Drugs would be quite my cup of engex, after all, as I said, I have poor health as is."

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex thinks. "Maybe we can make your room look like your cavern. WOuld that help?" he asks. "Then it..wouldnt be the same, but Dustoff could see it." he chuckles. "That's what alleys are for." He says. says. "If you need a watch buddy, lemme know. I should..probably get one of those." he says. "My body's pretty healthy. Except for missing the rotors."

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth couldn't help but chuckle. "I recharge in my lab, upside down, in the rafters... Been meaning to talk to Scrapper to see if we could get Dustoff a room set up in the medical bay." He'd explain, and then look thoughtful. "I've actually created a simple arena program for the training simulators to emulate an old training room I and... My team, used to use.. Really simple, doesn't spand out much from said room but it is enough that I've been able to show Dustoff." He'd smile softly.

      "Hopefully we'll have that corrected soon, and.. Mmmm I must say I /am/ surprised how healthy you are, despite all the engex and drugs."

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex grunts. "I usually sleep wherever I fall down. I try to make it a bunk in the main barracks. Sometimes I sleep upstairs at the wine shop btu I kinda feel like Im intruding there. Thats Bast Off's place and hes gonna need some alone time you know." hes ays. "Im so happy for those two." He says. He chuckles. "Thanks. Im bat-slag.. sorry for the saying but. Bat-slag insane though so that makes up for it." he smiles under his mask. "Part of my charm." he says. "I never miss what I was once but I know you do."

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth chuckled. "Honestly should take one of the dorms in the barracks, they are surprisingly nice for what they are, but with my lab? I feel quite relaxed there, but I have thought about taking a room there, just where I and Dustoff have someplace to rest together comfortably.. Should stop putting off mentioning to Scrapper that Dustoff would like a room in there." He'd hem.

      Goth Bah's and waves off vortex's comment. "Quite alright, I am too." He'd state simply. "...Well I don't miss what I /was/ I more miss.. Where I lived, the organic greenery, the oxygen rich atmosphere, the H2O pools... When it would rain such, and the sounds and smell of it." He'd close his optics as he was drawn back into the recall.

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex pause.s "I like to sleep around my brothers if I can. I dont like to sleep alone. The more people around better." he picks at his arm a bit, picking open the plating a bit. "I um. I get nightmares you know. Recharge glitches." He admits with a bit of shame. "I'm sure you've seen them when Im in medical." He says. "If I start to twitch just hit me I'll wake up. Brawl does it it usually brings me right back." He looks away a moment
     "I get more ...I get more of them now. After Garrus. But they're not as bad as my older prison dreams, though." He says. "I've never seen organic greenery. Was it gross?" he asks. "did it smell nasty? I bet it does."

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth Ah's. "Nightmares? Makes sense, mine do also tend to ease as well when I am with someone trusted Case and point, Dustoff." Hed' respond with a nod. "You lot honestly need to find a place to make a proper living space out of, if that's the case." That note he doesn't actually know where all the combaticons hang around... Over all though, Goth was.. Not judgmental of Vortex.

      "Depends on the flora, some are quite pleasant, others? downright awful." He'd state. "I'll have to show you the simulation once we get your new blades crafted, would be the easiest way." He'd nod with a wave of his wrist.

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex nods "Well there's Blasty's shop. And I have an office you know. Its..not real big and its got a desk and chairs and lots of blades. I dont use it at all unless it's for professional reasons though. Thats not a place to relax or enjoy. Thats an interrogation chamber and thats where the A game happens." he says. "Im differnet in there you know." He pauses. "I'd like to see it. It would be fun. And I miss my blades.." he says.
