Our avatars are in a room together

-Bonebreaker shifts her weight, and then leaps-

-as she lands on the combine, it quickly transforms into a large blue robot◊-

-the pair tumble over and over each other, until the blue robot manages to kick Bonebreaker off of him, making her slam against a nearby tree-

-she shakes her head, quickly gets back up, and rushes at the blue robot-

-the blue robot lunges at her with his horns, but suddenly stops short-

Wait... Bonsey- ARG!

-Bonebreaker tackle-hugs him to the ground-

Boss! Is really you!

-the blue robot has a thick mob boss accent, and Bonebreaker a cockney accent-

Upstairs

Jasmine: ...I'm assuming you're talking about something catastrophic that happened in your world's London.

Outside

Iwasawa: ... (was standing there dumbfounded as soon as it was clear she was outside the danger zone) ... (is still standing there dumbfounded)

(looks back)

Yes and no. It was another Singularity like this - the damage's reversed, but it was a really close call.

We had to nose around for our mastermind. While we did that, he was able to prepare his Holy Grail.

-the blue robot sputters and coughs-

Bonesy... it's really you?

-Bonebreaker shifts off of Thunderhoof-

'ey boss, that's my line!

-she smiles-

-then the blue robot looks over at Isawasa-

You sure you wanna do this in front of the organic?

oooh... uh... is alright boss! they're mostly 'armless.

-Thunderhoof crosses his arms-

Upstairs

Jasmine: A time limit, then.

Outside

Iwasawa: (realizes they're looking at her) Um, uh...D-don't mind me! I was...I was just leaving. (is slowly backing away, glancing around for an exit through the trees) Really, uh...it's fine, pretend I'm not here.

More like a distraction...

(sighs)

Well, we stopped Makiri Zolgen. We can stop whoever's behind this.

Upstairs

Jasmine: No incidents, you said?

Wait, wait, organic! Don't go!

Why do you cares?

Cause boss, they ain't so bad, hey, organic! Iz dat your guitar? Can you play?

None that I've caught wind of. But the forest is just too big...

Outside

Iwasawa: (stops) Uh...y-yeah, I can play...(looks at them carefully, trying to see if a song might soothe things)

Upstairs

Jasmine: True. It does make it easier to hide from prying eyes.

Bonsey...

Sh, sh, just trust me, boss. You uh, you mind playin us something, human?

-Thunderhoof rolls his eyes-

You're real lucky I trust you Bonesy. You know there's a reason I never let you talk on the job.

I'll explain it later boss, just go with it for now.

-she grins at Thunderhoof and he sighs-

...I've had a couple close calls, actually. Since I don't have my Servants, I can't take on those minions in numbers.

I'll be in a lot more trouble if I ever encounter a hostile Servant, too. I can't match them.

Outside

Iwasawa: (takes a moment to calm herself, then starts strumming the strings)

Upstairs

Jasmine: ...Has it been just that one Archer-class so far?

-almost against his will, Thunderhoof starts bobbing his head along to the song-

See, nice, right boss? Didn't even have to get any autobots involved.

-he stays silent for a moment, then asks a question-

So, Bonsey, how'd you get out here anyways?

Could ask the same thing 'o' you boss. Heh, my story ain't all that special. After you got locked up, I joined up with the Decepticons, space bridge went wrong, ended up stuck out here.

Decepticons eh? Hmmm... well, suppose I can't blame ya, would have made the same choice.

-he leans against a tree and crosses his legs over each other-

hehe...yeah...

-Thunderhoof quirks an eyebrow at Bonebreaker-

What I've seen? Yeah. But she's been complaining about a Rider, from what I've overheard.

Outside

Iwasawa: (eventually lets her voice fade out and continues with the guitar music, continuing to play beyond the normal end of the song like she'd done so many times before) ... (steals glances at the talking Decepticons both to listening in on the conversation and try to stay in the background - and thus not the potential focus of a very painful death)

Upstairs

Jasmine: A Rider-class? In what sense - that the latter is an active hindrance or the latter is merely difficult to work with?

Bonsey, you hidin something from me?

N-nah boss! You know Dinobots don't keep secrets...

-thunderhoof lunges forward, grabbing Bonebreaker's hand-

.... got that scar buffed out I see, shame, thought I gave ya character.

-Bonebreaker chuckles awkwardly-

-Thunderhoof chews at his lip and then slowly lets go and leans back again-

Listen Bonsey, I'm heading out to find energon, but, you and me? We're gonna talk later alright? Found a cave near here, you, me, one earthling hour, alright?

-Bonebreaker nods-

Yes boss.

-Thunderhoof nods and walks away, when he's out of sight, Bonebreaker lets out a big breath of air and lays on the ground-

... hey, human... thanks...

Outside

Iwasawa: (eventually ends playing) Um...no problem? (dubious tone of voice now that it's just her and a 25-foot-tall robot)

(shrugs)

All I could hear was muttering. And the word "Rider".

Upstairs

Jasmine: ...So we could potentially be facing two Servants.

Sorry if things got kinda awkward, Decepticons don't usually like organics, I just don't want any problems, well, any MORE problems. It's a long story, and I'm rambling, anyway, mate, I'm Bonebreaker. Nobody calls me Bonsey 'cept for Thunder'oof over t'ere.

You play good, I've never 'as the talent for music...

Outside

Iwasawa: Erm...thanks, I guess. (adjusts the position of her guitar) I'm, uh...my name's Iwasawa. Masami Iwasawa.

Potentially. Probably, however, a lot more.

Outside

Jasmine: And all of them hostile?

...Not all of them. I mean, I've fought alongside Joan of Arc and El Draque, and they didn't turn on me or anything.
