1177/Intervention

**Blast Off has posed:**
Blast Off finds himself flying over Rodion to search for his brother Vortex. The rotary was apparently just with Juris and now babbling what seems like nonsense to the shuttle over the radio. Time for a quick intervention if needed. "<< Vortex, where are you? I'm probably just over head now... >>" The shuttle's thrusters can be heard roaring up above.

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex is walking out of an antique dealer's shop of all things. Empty handed, so whatever he as looking for was not there. He stops by a nearby police stationa nd gives a rude gesture and then nods his head as if he won something. He looks up an waves. <<Oh, Hey, Blast Off. Im right down here>> he transmits. He sounds like he sounds numb, but is trying to cover it up with a manic cheerfulness.

**Blast Off has posed:**
The Combaticon sniper shifts pitch and veers downwards, transforming near his teammate- and then crossing his arms and just staring at the rotary, looking him over. "Alright, what did you get into and do I need to shoot someone?"

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex shakes his head. His optic band is distant and looks very tired "Blast Off? I talked to her." he says, his voice a bare whisper and not sounding anything like his normal self. "Juris. She saw me go into this store and look about and met me in a back room there. She told me she was making the big decision. Red or purple. Autobot or Decepticon. And do you know what I told her? I told her she's about justice. She doesn't want war, she wants peace. She wants justice. I told her dont ask me to look into herself. An' then I told her what I honestly thought. I thought she'd make a good Autobot."
     Vortex sounds very ashamed. "I let her go, Blast Off. I let her go where she'd be happiest. She wanted to look me in the optic. Like without the facemask and all. I let her see and she told me to look at her for a bit and tell her what I think. You know I have no self control right? So i kinda kissed her. She was taken aback and left. I dont think she knew I felt that way. And you know. I dont think she felt the same. I dont know. All I know is shes gone. And I dont have to worry about htat Juris nonsense."

**Blast Off has posed:**
UGH, Juris again? Blast Off grumbles at first as Vortex begins telling him what happened, tilting his head and eying his brother in that possibly annoying superior manner he often adopts. However, as the rotary goes on, the sniper's expression softens some. His crossed arms loosen and eventually drop down as he continues looking at his bro.

"Vortex..." His cultured voice has gone from snooty to almost melancholy. "...I'm sorry." His shoulders droop down a bit. "That's... difficult. It gets so hard to know sometimes and..." His head tilts again. "I'm sorry." The shuttleformer reaches a hand towards Tex's shoulder. "Maybe... maybe that's the right thing to do. I think she was headed that direction, too....but it's..." Oh boy, he doesn't know how to do this consolation stuff that well. "It's... hard. I know." His thoughts drift to Swivel.

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex doesn't stop to think, before reaching out to hug his brother close, and is very quiet for a while his optic band shut off as he just hugs quietly. After a while he looks up "Thanks. I know you've been there." He says. "I was thinking. I could get drunk out of my mind, use circuit speeders until I smell something smoking, dig a blade into something then sleep. In the morning, I'll be hung over and it'll be history. You know I dont hold on to the past much." Yeah, Tex. Keep telling yourself that. "In the end its just us. i should stop trying to get to know outsiders. Unapproved outsiders that you and Onslaught havent approved of. It'll stop a lot of this."

**Blast Off has posed:**
Blast Off erks as Vortex suddenly pulls him in for a hug, wing elevons twitching with surprise, frame stiffening for a moment before giving in and relaxing some. When Vortex looks up at him, Blast Off huffs at him, but it's one of his more bemused sounds. "Well... I mean, I wouldn't say \*no\* to that..." He deliberates, "But... well, I don't know if you should shun ALL outsiders, just... be careful who you let close. And certainly, ask Onslaught or I for advice if you find yourself getting involved with an outsider. I... am always here, you know." His hand slowly wraps around Tex's shoulder for a half-hug of his own. Briefly. Have to look at least a \*little\* aloof here!

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex nods "I know. And I'm always here for you." he says. He shouts something at a passerby. "What havent you ever seen two Decepticons hug in the street? Slag off." he giggles then "You know. If you and Onslaught ever want some rotor action Im here for ya." he cuckles. "Primus what's wrong with m?" he shakes his head. "Seriously, Im fine." his rotors raise a bit. "Just exhausted. I think Im going to go home and bunk. Without drinking or anything. If you end up joining me I wouldnt mind." from being cute to weird in 5 seconds. Thats Vortex.

**Blast Off has posed:**
Blast Off seems to blush a bit as Tex yells at a passersby, then jerks back as the rotary comes on to him. He raises an optic ridge at his teammate. "I'll come back with you, but only to tuck you into your berth and make sure you fuel up on some enercoffee in the morning!" Huff!

**Vortex has posed:**
Vortex awws "Well you are good looking. I wouldnt wanna come between you and Ons though." He says. "Look at those rudders." he says. "Cute little rudders." he murmurs, giggling.
