November 10th
((Euphoria, Wildfire, Patrol)) (U,U,U)

Euphoria transmits: ' Exvuse me. Oracle. It is me, Euphoria.'.
Euphoria transmits: ' Remember what I tolds you? What I did. To those Decepticons....'.
You transmit 'Yes, Euphoria, I remember.' to Euphoria.
Euphoria transmits: ' Well, tahnks for caring. I'm handing myself in.'.
Euphoria transmits: ' You don't know how, you never will, but you've stopped me from running. Thanks.'.
You transmit 'Why are you turning yourself in now?' to Euphoria.
Wildfire transmits: ' Umm, Oracle? Got a mech here that wants me to arrest him for murder. He talked about you, so I thought you might know how bad it is. I don't want to arrest someone just because he's on a guilt trip.'.
You transmit 'Do you want me to come down? Where are you?' to Wildfire.
Wildfire transmits: ' We're in the courtyard. I think I can handle it for now. *sighs* He should be getting medical attention for this, not getting thrown in jail.'.
You transmit 'Seems like all the City's citizens are going crazy, doesn't it?' to Wildfire.
Wildfire transmits: ' No kidding. And I seem to be attracting the better part of them. *chuckles*'
You transmit 'Well, if you think I can be of any help, just radio me.' to Wildfire.
Wildfire transmits: ' Will do. *sighs* I'm not cut out for this sort of thing...'.
Wildfire transmits: ' Quick, think of something good and productive for community service.'.
You transmit '*Laughs slightly* Keeping me in the city? But seriously, keeping the streets clean or something along those lines.' to Wildfire.
Wildfire transmits: ' *her mental grin is almost audible* Don't give me any ideas... Well, he wants to be a productive part of the community and I can't seem to persuade him otherwise...'.
You transmit 'You certain you don't want me to join you at the moment?' to Wildfire.
Wildfire transmits: ' Sure come on down. I did not, however transmit to you. He's getting paranoid about it.'.
Oracle wanders into the Courtyard sighing. She barely nods to both Wildfire and Euphoria.
Euphoria is sitting with Wildfire. It seems he is having a chat about something, and by the look of guilt on his face you can probably guess. There is a drink by his side - I'm betting you can guess what has happened....
Wildfire grins "Sounds about right." shrugs "We're just waifs and strays, the lot of us." again she makes an expansive gesture to encompass the entire city.
Oracle walks over to Wildfire and Euphoria.
Euphoria sees Oracle, and remembers what he is there for. He takes a quick look of his drink and pushes it off the steps. It falls and breaks as he gets up.
Euphoria says, "Militia Lady.... I'm sorry.... I...."
Euphoria turns away from Oracle and Wildfire. All he can hear now are the crowds voices....
Wildfire stands up and raises her hands in a placating gesture. "Whoa. You all right?"
Oracle just watches Euphoria and Wildfire.
Euphoria remains silent, his head looking downwards, before he looks at Wildfire and whispers "Are you going to take me in or do I have to run again?"
Wildfire takes one step towards him and looks directly at him. "Fine, as you wish."
Oracle mutters to Wildfire: "Perhaps it ... ... best ... ... ... ... Surely ... ... ... what ... ... ... ... Then again ... ... misinterpret the situation."
mutter Wildfire=Perhaps it would be best to listen to him.  Surely Phalanx will know what to do about this.  Then again, he might misinterpret the situation.
Euphorias eyes look both relieved and horrored.
Euphoria holds out his arms weakly.
Wildfire changes her stance ever so slightly but the change is noticable, she is now all Militia.
Oracle watches Wildfire's change in attitude and position. She quirks an optic ridge, but says nothing.
Euphoria looks at Oracle out of the dcorner of his eye. He is either feeling complete self-pity, doesn't care anymore or does indedd, as the case is, truly feels guilty for what he see's as a crime.
Wildfire decides to play along and brings a pair of shackles out from subspace. "You're going to cooperate, I assume?" nods towards the entrance of the Militia House.
Euphoria nods head grimly as he walks ijnto the House.... He looks back one more time and there is a slight twinge of... What, happiness, in his eyes before he walks in...
Euphoria has left.
Wildfire turns to Ora. "Want to come along? I need someone to explain this to me." looks utterly helpless.
Wildfire follows Euphoria in.
Wildfire has left.
Oracle nods and follows Wildfire.
Oracle walks in after Wildfire.
Euphoria look sa round. Despite his love (Secret that is) of the Militita he has never seen the inside of here and finds it intruiging.
Wildfire nods a greeting to the guard and cuts off any questions before they're asked. She leads Euphoria to an empty cell.
Euphoria looks around the cell, and feels uncomfrtoable. Wasn't this what he wanted? No pleasing some people. :)
Euphoriawalks into the cell.
Wildfire turns on the force field/shuts the door ((whichever applies)), and looks at him.
Wildfire turns to Oracle and indicates the exit. "We should talk."
Oracle sighs, "About me, or about him?"
Wildfire grins "About him, for once."
Oracle smiles. "Very well. Where to?"
Wildfire says, "Just outside will do. I want this thing out of the way as soon as possible."
Oracle nods and leaves the cells.
Wildfire sighs "Right. I've got a mech angsting over some alleged murder that apparently happened way back when, in there. Did I leave something out?"
Oracle shakes her head. "Does anyone know much about Euphoria?"
Wildfire shrugs "Didn't even know that was him until he introduced himself."
You say, "Do we even know that those murders took place?"
Wildfire shakes her head "He didn't look like he was going to react too well to me telling him that I can't arrest him on his confession alone.
Wildfire says, "So I plan to make it a part of the reason for releasing him on probation."
Oracle nods. "Okay. I'm sure you know more about arresting and releasing than I do."
Wildfire smiles wryly "Don't bet on it. As I said; he wants to be a 'part of the community' whatever *that* means. Do you think I could get away with telling him to keep the streets free from litter, or do I have to do the entire 'bad cop' thing?"
You say, "If you give him enough stuff to do, I think it'll work out."
Wildfire turns a look at Oracle that manages to be both evil and genuinley friendly at once. "Well, he did seem to admire the Militia. Perhaps if I tell him you need a bodyguard it'll keep you both out of trouble..." grins and makes no indication that she wants to go back to bugging Ora about Lunar. Just making light of the situation.
You say, "Patrol seems to think I need one at any rate."
Wildfire nods "Patrol is a wise mech sometimes." grimaces "I need to get this out of the way fast. I do not want to explain to Phalanx or Bracer why I've got a drunken, angstridden mech in a cell."
Oracle nods. "If you want, you can assign him as my bodyguard...or kidlet-sitter at any rate. I don't think he's up for fighting, but he can keep and optic on me."
Patrol comes walking in, he sees Wildfire and grins he sees Oracle and frowns.
Oracle gives Patrol a half-apologetic smile in return.
Wildfire grins "You know, that actually might work..." cocks her head and smiles "Especially if we release him inot your custody."
Wildfire turns and nods a greeting to Patrol.
You say, "So who would be taking care of who?"
Patrol hmms, "Whats going on?"
Wildfire says, "He'll keep an optic on you. And as an extra incentive, we say that he'll make you look very bad, if he gets himself into trouble. "
Wildfire shrugs "Damage control." grins
You say, "I hope that will work. I'm worried about his frame of mind."
Wildfire nods "No kidding. This way we can probably keep him away from the drink too."
Wildfire smiles sweetly at Ora "But that sort of means that you'll have to behave too. We wouldn't want poor Euphoria to start angsing over you either."
Wildfire turns to Patrol "How is everything?" gestures to indicate the city.
Oracle nods silently.
Patrol shrugs, "Well it seems to be in order there seems to be an absense of Decepticons in the city."
Wildfire nods to Ora "Good. It's decided, then. I'll just run it by Phalanx and Bracer to make sure they know what's going on." turns to Patrol and grimaces "No 'cons? Wonder why..." shudders as she remembers last cycle's little fiasco.
You say, "Brawl tells me that his faction members aren't allowed in the City. He couldn't tell me why though."
Patrol nods as he sees Wildfire's face.
Wildfire shakes her head to dispel that particular memory, but not before a guilt stricken expression that seems completely out of place flickers on her face. She looks at the others and smiles a bit too brightly. "So, anyway."
You say, "I don't like their absense."
Wildfire shrugs "It'll pass."
Wildfire catches herself and quickly amends "Their absence, that is."
Patrol hmms, "like it did last time? I dont think Shot Glass can offord the repairs."
Wildfire frowns and shrugs "No, I don't think it'll come to that this time."
Oracle just sighs.
Patrol nods, "I hope not I love that bar."
Wildfire nods "We all do. This'll blow over and everything will be back to its old, noisy self.
Patrol hmms, "I am still a little worried"
You say, "About what?"
Patrol says, "I dont know why they are not comming here, it makes me think they are getting ready for another attack."
You say, "I certainly hope not."
Wildfire shrugs "Don't worry. Once certain parties are done being melodramatic they'll be back." looks up at Patrol and shudders "I hope you're wrong."
Patrol looks over at Wildfire, "Do you know why they arn't comming?"
Wildfire shakes her head helplessly "Not exactly, but I've got an idea."
Patrol says, "you going to share?"
Wildfire grimaces and adds to herself, laced with some uncharacteristic bitterness "'Boss's sister screwed up again."
Wildfire shakes her head and looks at Patrol "Perhaps later, when I'm sure about it."
Oracle raises her optic ridge at Wildfire.
Patrol nods, "What ever," and walks off.
Wildfire says, "Would it make things better if I told you that a certain 'con commander can be quite a drama queen, at times?"
Patrol looks back from the door, with an odd look on his face, he says, "I am off duty I will worry about it later"
Wildfire leans back casually against the wall. "You do that."
*Patrol leaves*
Wildfire turns to Ora "So, what's your take on the entire 'con business?"
You say, "I'm not certain. I just know that I don't like it."
Wildfire nods "You and the rest of us."
You say, "My reasons are also...slightly more personal than some."
Wildfire cocks her head at Oracle and smiles as she remembers "Oh, right. How is Brawl anyway?"
You say, "He seems to be doing okay. He's a little disappointed that he can't visit me here anymore. And I can't visit him either."
Wildfire nods "I can imagine. As I said; hopefully this'll all blow over and everyone will be able to come and go as they please."
You say, "Yes. That is the beauty of Crystal City."
Wildfire says, "Just a shame not everyone seems to think that, though."
You say, "How so?"
Wildfire gestures in an offhand manner "Look around. We're a joke to some."
Oracle nods. "Which is a pity." Sighs. "I'm getting tired. I'm going home so I can sit down and have a think. You're welcome to come if you'd like a little space. Or are you on duty?"
Wildfire shakes her head "Not at the moment. I'm waiting to get in touch with Talisman." smiles "A little space sounds good."
Oracle smiles. "Well, my place isn't big, but no one goes there."
Wildfire laughs "You should see my place. It's so full of junk I can barely fit in there myself."
Oracle walks out with Wildfire.
Patrol is standing by a wall watching people come and go.
Oracle waves to Patrol.
Wildfire nods and smiles to Patrol.
Patrol sees Oracle and Wildfire and nods to them.
You say, "What are you up to Patrol?"
Patrol frowns at Oracle, "nothin".
You say, "Why the frown then?"
Patrol shrugs.
You say, "Are you okay Patrol?"
Wildfire stands back and smiles as Ora goes into 'nurturing mode'.
Patrol shurgs a little, "I should be fine."
Oracle nods. "If you say so."
Wildfire cocks her head and looks at him "You sure?"
Patrol shakes his head, "I'll be fine"
Wildfire decides not to press the matter "Your call."
Patrol gives wildfire a slight smile and goes back to watching the public.
Wildfire nods at Patrol.
Oracle moves on.
Wildfire grins "So, how is everything? ...apart from being worried about the state of things, that is?"
Patrol comes walking in after you guys, "Ummm Wildfire...Oracle..."
Wildfire turns to Patrol "Yes?"
Oracle turns back "Yes Patrol."
Patrol Stops suddenly, "I ...um...I wanted to say....um...."
Wildfire cocks her head and smiles.
Patrol gets a grip and says it, "I wanted to apoligize for the way I acted."
You say, "When?"
Patrol motions with his hand towards the courtyard, "Back at the milita house."
Wildfire shrugs "I wasn't offended." grins "So stop floundering or you'll bust something."
Wildfire turns to Ora "Were you?"
You say, "Not really, but then again, I'm not that easily offended."
Wildfire nods at Ora "No, I don't think you are."
Patrol grins kinda, "Thats good. I am just having a rough cycle"
Wildfire smiles "We've all had those from time to time."
You say, "Even the best of us do."
Patrol grins, "well I am not excatly the best...."
Wildfire shrugs "Is anyone. You'll do nicely, though."
Patrol looks confused, "What'll I do nicely at?"
You say, "Maybe you should just take it easy Patrol."
Wildfire smiles sheepishly "Sorry, I tend to do that a lot. I meant that in the absence of 'the best' you'll do nicely. Better?"
Patrol nods, "Ahh ok I was a bit scared that I had an assignment that I wasn't aware of."
Wildfire grins evilly "One can be arranged..."
Oracle is glad for the moment that she doesn't have to work under anyone.
Patrol gives Wildfire a sly grin, he is obviusly back to his oldself, "Will I have a partner on this.... Assignment?"
Wildfire decides to play along and puts on an air of intense concentration. "Well...Crawlspace has been looking for something to do lately..."
Wildfire frowns slightly "Speaking of which, you haven't seen Talisman around lately?"
Patrol raises an optic ridge, "Crawlspace?? not excatly who I had in mind. No I haven't seen him for a bit."
Wildfire sighs and shrugs "Oh, well...I'll catch up with him sooner or later." grins "Really? Who *did* you have in mind? Sunspot?"
Patrol blinks, "Sunspot? Nah she has got a thing for your brother."
Wildfire grins ferally "Not for long..."
Patrol blinks again, "Hows that?"
Oracle leans against a convienient wall.
Wildfire tries to bite back a smile "Let's just say that I see a vat of pink paint somewhere in her future..."
Patrol looks confused, "Elita one is going to beat her up and steal the Boss?"
Wildfire turns and grins at Oracle "Bored?"
You say, "No, just tired."
Wildfire smiles at Oracle "Then what are you doing here? Go home, get some rest."
Oracle nods meekly and heads off.
