((Silhouette, Patrol, Silverstreak, Archer,)) Oracle is sitting by the fountain, running her finger along the pool's edge. Silhouette is perched on the edge of a fountain, in the specific location where the shadow casted by the statue of the Phoenix falls over her body, to cover her in the safety of darkness. Patrol walks into the area whistling a jaunty toon. Oracle seems lost in thought. Patrol sees Oracle and sneaks over behind her. Oracle dips her finger in the water, sending ripples to the centerpiece. Patrol gets up right behind Oracle, only making some small noises. Oracle doesn't turn around. She seems to be rather lost to the world. Silhouette's optics shift to look at the water as she notes the ripling, realizing there must be someone on the other side of the fountain. Patrol yells at the top of his lungs, "BOOOOOOO!!!" and then hops back and ducks. Oracle cringes at the loud noise, but doesn't turn around. Silhouette receives a radio message. Patrol looks over to where Sil is and nods. Silverstreak wanders through the city, optics showing a sereness to them. Silverstreak nods politely to those he passes, not making much other conversation with anyone beyond that. He looks as though he is contemplating something, but what is uncertain. Silhouette, unlike Oracle, is startled by the voice and while trying to turn frantically to see what or who it was slips into the fountain with a big splash. Oracle sighs and closes her optics, leaning back, dangerously close to falling in, yet never falling. Silverstreak hears the splash off in the distance and looks up, wondering what's going on. He heads quickly towards that direction, wondering just what is going on and wondering if he can help whomever may be in trouble Patrol looks over to where the splash was and on refelx says, "No wading in the pool." Silhouette's optics sear through the water's surface as they flare with her rage, realizing how pathetic she made herself look if anyone at all spotted her. Oracle finally opens her optics and glances at the fallen Silhouette. She offers her a hand with a quaint smile. Silverstreak sees Silhouette and -pretends- he doesn't. He starts walking away and heading to Iacon. Patrol walks over to where SiloWET is and grins, "Hi I dont think weve met." Silhouette remains under water for a while longer, before finally realizing she has no choice but to face this humiliation. Not taking Oracle's offered hand, she struggles to pull herself out by grabbing to the edges of the fountain. Whispering in a very displeased voice "Greetings..." Oracle nods with a quizical raise of the optic ridge. "Salutations." Patrol nods, "Nice to meet ya but in case you didn't hear it is agisnt CC rules to swim in the foutain." Silhouette finds herself in a puddle of water, dripping from her own body, once outside the fountain. Sulking in a manner a cat would after being touched with water, she whispers "As I hope you would know, _I_ did _not_ intend to swim here...." Patrol nods with a ya sure lady if you say so look on his face, "Welllll since i am in a good mood I will let ya off with a warning this time but don't let me catch ya in there again. Ok?" Silver Hovercar flits in from the courtyard, heading toward the west quietly. Noticing Silhouette he slows down. Silhouette clenches her hands into fists "I said: I was not intending to swim in the fountain, I /fell/ into it..." she's awfully upset and seems to be holding herself from inflicting physical damage upon anyone. Oracle puts a hand on the apparently distraught Silhouette. "Don't mind him. We know you didn't mean to fall into that pool. And if it makes you feel better, we won't tell anyone either." Silver Hovercar quietly ohhhhhhhhs, thinking Sil is really mad now. Patrol looks at Sil with concern, "You OK ma'am? Did you catch a cold from your quick swim?" Silhouette shakes her head in a sitffy motion. She shuts her optics and appears to be concentrating on calming herself, as the vibrations across her body slowly come to a stop. Silhouette opens her optics once more, after reminding herself that she represents the Autobots here, she whispers "Nevermind....say what you will, I broke no laws under my own choice....fair enough?" Patrol looks confused, "Umm Miss In case you didn't here i said there was no charges, but just for the heck of it Sure why not i'll play along, Nope you didn't break any charges." Oracle turns back to the fountain, waiting for the conversation to finish. Silhouette crosses her arms "The fault is yours in shouting as you did, I broke no laws, and I make it clear....you better acknowledge it, lest you have no faith in truth and honesty" Patrol looks over at Ora, "Didn't I all ready say I yelled? I Thought I had. Hmm Well I can always do it again." he looks over at Sil, "Yes I yelled but I yelled to spook My pal Oracle over there I had no idea I would blow your concentrain when you were div....I mean um....When you were standing on the edge." Oracle lowers her voice. "Patrol, I think you'd better leave her alone." Silhouette whispers calmly, repeating again. "I did not dive, I fell becasue of your shout. I dislike swimming, I dislike pastime pleasures, I dislike wasting my time. I dislike being wet as I am now, clear?" You say, "I do have that towel at home if you so want." Patrol is about to give the whole sure sure face when suddenly there is no point justifying anything anymore as he dosn't plan to take her to lock up over a misdamenor, "If you say so miss." Silhouette nods "I will settle for that, seeing it's hopeless..." she then turns to Oracle, freezing again as she just looks at her, contemplating. Patrol shrugs and walks over to oracle, "Before you wander off can i have a word with you over there please?" You say, "Sure." Oracle walks over to Patrol. Patrol walks over aways towards Oracles place and stops when she catches up. Patrol leans forward and wispers something in Oracles audio receptors. Patrol mutters to Oracle: "... the ... ... ... refrain from telling ... how to ... ... job. Ok. ... ... she ... werid ... radio me and i will come a ... ok?" Patrol mutters to you: "in the future Oracle Please refrain from telling me how to do my job. Ok. And if she gets werid just radio me and i will come a running. ok?" Silhouette turns to gaze at the Phoenix meantime. . o O (Must not lose control...must ignore the fools...must endure while in command....) she keeps going over her little formula, holding herself together. Oracle mutters to Patrol: "I wouldn't interfere with you ... your job ... ... over doing ... I ... your ... ... ... your ... here. You're supposed ... be helpful ... ... people ... antagonize them." Patrol mutters to Oracle: "thats ... ... my ... isn't here ... of ... are gone ... us ... types ... ... to operate ... ... ... ... ... ... your ... pal so ... ... ... had ... ... to ..." Patrol mutters to you: "thats just it my boss isn't here most of them are gone so us regular types are trying to operate as if nothing is wrong but your my pal so i figured you had a right to know" Oracle motions to Silhouette. "Okay, shall we go get that towel?" Silhouette nods once, lowering her eyes to the ground for a moment, feeling this an utter humiliation. And then, within seconds she disappears into the shadows, her voice is heard next to Oracle. "I'm following..." Oracle leads the way. *leaves* Silhouette creeps in the shadows after Oracle's lead. You say, "It's just over here a ways." *enter Oracle's Dwelling* Oracle rummages around for a towel. When she finds a clean one, she passes it to Sil. "Here you go." Silhouette, once inside, freezes in place. Her optics once more widen and she seems awfully uncomfortable, in fact, she appears to be almost afraid. Oracle quirks an optic ridge. "I know it's messy in here, but I didn't believe it was as bad as that." Silhouette whispers softly "I-It's okay...I don't mind..." Oracle waves the towel at Sil. "Make yourself comfortable. This place isn't much, but it's a place." Silhouette takes the towel with a stiff ungraceful motion and starts drying herself "Thank you..." she whispers, her whole manner quite awkward. You say, "You really musn't mind Patrol. He seems to have a weird sense of humor, or duty, whichever way you want to put it. I don't believe I've formally introduced myself. I am Oracle." Silhouette whispers "He should not interpert the law freely....I broke no laws" Oracle shakes her head. "No, you didn't...well not as far as I know. Don't worry about him. If he causes any more trouble for you, I'll have a little chat with him." Silhouette nods once, lowering her glance at the thought of someone else dealing with something for her. You say, "Well, I don't have any power to make him stop. Only friendly influence. I'm probably one of the least powerful citizens of Cybertron." Silhouette nods again, it's not clear wether she's paying attention to the words at all as she continues to dry herself. Oracle shrugs, baffled as to Silhouette's discomfort. Silhouette finally is done and looks at Oracle "Where should I put that?" You say, "Oh, just toss it in a corner...that's what happens to everything else around here." Silhouette nods and tosses is it in a corner, still not moving from where she stands from the moment she entered. "Nice to meet you...thanks" Oracle smiles. "It's not a problem. I like helping people. It makes it less likely that someone will put a laser through my head." Silhouette winces at that and nods, turning around to the door. "I guess....I should be going now..." You say, "Well I'll see you later sometime. It was a pleasure meeting you." Silhouette smirks to herself as she steps outside, still not having given her name, she wonders how could anyone be pleased in meeting her. Oracle watches Silhouette leave with a quizical smile.
