((Darkraid, Revamp, Midstream, Trius)) Darkraid walks in grumbling to himself Oracle takes an appraising look at he who just entered. Revamp is pretty much sitting on a bench, working on some mundane work. Darkraid looks at the pair and nods curtly Oracle nods to Revamp, only slightly reconizing her, and nods in return to Darkraid. Revamp fehs at her work, and looks up briefly, blinking at the Con. She recognizes hoim from last night's event, and frowns to herself a little. Darkraid mutters, "Of all the days she had to be off......" Oracle stands back and watches the other two. Revamp doesn't seem to concerned with the heavy flyer, and just allows a small smiles. "You did OK, kid." Revamp says, "even IF you did beat up on my friend. But hey-- part of the show, huh?" Darkraid blinks and looks at Revamp caught completely off guard by Revamps comments Darkraid nods slowly, "Thanks....I think......" Revamp shrugs. "I STILL could beat you at pool." Darkraid says, "I doubt you want to play me right now....." Oracle finally turns to Darkraid. "I don't believe we've met." Offers him her hand. "I am Oracle." Revamp quirks an optic brow. "Of course. It would not do to cross a cross Decepticon." Darkraid turns to Oracle and takes the hand seemingly overly carefully and shakes it, Darkraid" Revamp flicks shut the data padd, and staches it one of the many storage compartments she has. You say, "Pleased to meet you then Darkraid." Revamp meanders off in search of some fine-lookin' Peterbilts to flirt with. Darkraid says, "Likewise...I suppose...." Oracle smiles, as though to reassure away the 'suppose' in the statement. Darkraid blinks, "No it's not that....I'm just a bit...erm....upset right now Oracle takes on a sympathetic tone of voice. "Oh, really? Why?" Darkraid blinks, "I just managed to make an ass of myself...or at least I think I did" You say, "How so?" Darkraid says, "Femme......" You say, "Could you expand on that? Saying 'femme' doesn't really tell me much." Darkraid looks you over as if attempting to judge how much he can say Oracle as if sensing the hesitation she speaks up,"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Darkraid sits down on a bench, looking at you as far as you can tell from his optics he seems very confused right now Oracle sits down as well, close enough for conversation, but no closer than that. Darkraid opens his faceplate and rests his face in his hands Oracle awkwardly puts a hand on his shoulder. "You seem quite upset." Darkraid nods You say, "Anything I can do?" Darkraid shrugs, "I don't know" Oracle falls silent... Darkraid sounds absolutely lost currently You say, "Well, if and when you feel like talking, I'll listen. And what you say in confidence, stays that way." Darkraid smiles weakly Oracle smiles encouragingly. "That's a bit of an improvement." Darkraid mutters, "I wish my sis were here....she'd know what to say....." You say, "Who's your sister?" Darkraid says, "Triage" You say, "I don't believe I've met her." Darkraid says, "She's a good medic" You say, "A good job to have..." Darkraid says, "It's what she's good at......." You say, "Is she a Decepticon like yourself?" Darkraid nods You say, "Where is she now? Does she know you're troubled?" Darkraid says, "Off duty somewhere and no she doesn't......" You say, "Where does she usually go when she's off duty? Maybe you could find her there if that will help you any." Darkraid says, "She usually goes to one of the bars...and she wasn't at the Broken Gasket, so I don't know if she's at the Golden Blaster or not. Sometimes she visits home too....." You say, "If you like I'll help you look"" Darkraid smiles again You say, "Oh, there's another smile. I must be helping you somewhat." Oracle Smiles again. Darkraid nods a little Oracle stands up. "Shall we then?" Darkraid stands and closes his faceplate, "Can't hurt" You say, "You take the lead, and I'll follow, especially if we near your territory." Darkraid nods and heads towards the blaster Darkraid walks in with Oracle close behind Midstream is sitting by the foountain, inking her sketch she made earlier. Oracle glances at Midstream. Darkraid nods to Midstream Midstream is busy with her artwork and doesn't notice the two of them. Oracle speaks softly so that only Darkraid can hear her. "Might she know if your sister's been through here?" Darkraid shrugs and replies quietly, "Maybe...I think she knows her" Oracle still speaks softly "Shall we ask her?" Darkraid nods Oracle adresses Midstream "Excuse me. Sorry to disturb you, but do you know if the one named Triage has been by here recently?" Midstream thinks Darkraid just looked at her. Midstream looks up from her artwork. "Oh hello. No, I don't think I've seen Triage since the Wrestling tournament. Why? Is she missing? You say, "No, nothing like that. We just wish to speak with her, that's all. Sorry for disturbing your work." Darkraid sighs quietly hearing Midstrams response Midstream brushes it off politely, "No that's alright. I'm just inking a drawing I've made." You say, "An artist?" Midstream nods. "I am." You say, "Interesting. War doesn't often leave time to cultivate art." Oracle turns back to Darkraid. "Do you want to continue on to the Blaster, or do you want to check elsewhere?" Midstream goes back to inking her drawing, as the two are obviously busy. Darkraid says, "Check the Blaster before going back to Polyhex" You say, "Okay, lets go then." Oracle turns back to Midstream for a moment. "Thank you for your time, it was a pleasure to meet you." Midstream calls out as they leave, "If you find her, tell her I said Hi." Darkraid nods to Midstream , "Sure" You say, "Will do." Midstream says, "by the way, I'm Midstream. and you are?" You say, "I am Oracle." *enters Golden Blaster* Darkraid glances around, "Not here" You say, "Now where?" Darkraid says, "Polyhex" You say, "You lead then." Darkraid says, "Can you fly?" You say, "No, I'm afraid we'll have to go the long way." Darkraid shakes his head, "No we won't I can carry you...just need more room to transform Darkraid says, "A LOT more room" You say, "Okay, let's go back outside then." Darkraid enters the Civil District <-O- Out>. Darkraid hmmms, "Not enough room here...have to get out of the city" Darkraid says, "Much better" Darkraid says, "Stand back I wouldn't want to hurt you" Oracle stands back, watching Darkraid. Darkraid transforms into Tetra Bomber. Tetra Bomber says, "Get in" Oracle climbs aboard. *exits at Polyhex* Darkraid says, "Follow me" Oracle glances about herself, being in unfamiliar territory. Darkraid says, "I'm guessing I'm leading" You say, "Yes, I don't know my way around here." Darkraid says, "This way" You say, "Okay." *arrives* Darkraid points to the Gasket, "There it is" Darkraid heads towards the BG, "Let's see if she's there" You say, "Okay" Darkraid looks around, waving to a few of the Cons who watched him at the wrestling match yesterday Darkraid turns back to you after he's scanned the room and shakes his head, "Not here either" You say, "Don't you have anyway of contacting other in your faction that may have seen her?" Darkraid says, "Truis might know....." Oracle pauses for a moment as though trying to put a face with the name. "I believe I may have met Trius before, though I'm not completly certain. Darkraid says, "He might be around here" You say, "Well, it's your call." Darkraid says, "C'mon" *leaves* Darkraid says, "Not here.....ummm.....only other place I can think of would be Darkmount and I don't think you can enter there" Oracle laughs softly to herself. "No, I suppose not." Darkraid says, "Well let's check the entrance again...." You say, "It's a good place to check for people coming and going." Darkraid nods *enter city entrance(Polyhex)* Darkraid nods to Trius, "Sir" Oracle upon hearing Darkraid's use of a title, inclines her head respectfully towards Trius. Trius's optic sensor roves back and forth as he observes Darkraid...and Oracle. "Greetings Darkraid." He turns to look at Oracle. "Explain the reason for her presence?" Darkraid says, "She was assisting me in my search for Triage, sir" Trius folds his arms across his chest. "That is inadvisable. Unaffiliates are not allowed across Decepticon borders." Darkraid nods, "Yes sir. It won't happen again." Oracle remains silent, not wanting to cause any trouble for Darkraid. Trius's roving optic appears to scan Oracle, "State designation." He says to her in a cold voice. You say, "I am Oracle..." Oracle looks as though she was about to say more, but thought it might not be taken well by such a formal seeming person. Trius remains completly still. "Oracle? Do you posses the ability to see future events?" You say, "No. The name is somewhat ironic; I study the past." Trius watches Oracle closly. "Interesting...How have you come to be afiliated with Darkraid?" You say, "I saw that he seemed upset and inquired as to the reason why." Trius turns to Darkraid but continues to speak to Oracle, "About what?" Trius turns (corrects) to Darkraid but continues to speak to Oracle, "what reason did he give?" You say, "He didn't give a reason for his upset." Trius turns back to Oracle watching her as if waiting for her to continue...his optic sensr roving back and forth. You say, "He didn't seem to want to say too much to me and gave a preferance for having his sister Triage around. So I offered to help him find her." Trius appears incredulous as he turns back to Darkraid, "You will escort this unaffiliate to the nearest border." Darkraid nods, "Yes sir" Oracle finally speaks up, keeping her tone low and respectful. "I did not mean to cause trouble, and I hope he will not come to grief on my account." Trius just watches wainting for the directive to be carried out. He turns to Oracle. "Any *grief* that befalls him will be no fault of yours." Darkraid places his hands on Oracle's shoulders and escorts her out of the city, towards the closest border Darkraid says, "My fault.....I wasn't thinking......" Darkraid again sounds down You say, "No, I should have anticipated such a response. I study history, and this is a common pattern. I was a fool." Darkraid says, "Come on...I have to get you outta here" You say, "Yes, we must hurry, I don't want you to get in any more trouble." Darkraid says, "I'd better report back. Thanks for your help....." You say, "I don't mind, but next time I cause anyone trouble I should take the beats with them." Darkraid shakes his head, "I wasn't thinking. I have to take responsibility for what I've done" Oracle frowns slightly. "I have no one to answer to, so I sometimes forget that those I associate with /do/. I am sorry and if you do get in trouble, I'll make it up to you somehow. Darkraid says, "Thanks for the offer" You say, "It's the least I could do. You'd better hurry back or it might be worse for you." Darkraid nods and takes off.
