GENERAL DADTRON POST

[towardspeace]

Who: Megatron; YOU
Where: MORE OR LESS ANYWHERE
When: expansive shrug
What: MISC
Warnings: NONE YET

With Tarn dealt with for the time being and his own systems running closer to 100% again, Megatron's been spending more time prowling around outside keeping an eye out for trouble than before, you know, just in case Tarn isn't as down and out as they thought, or anybody equally godawful decides to show up and stir shit, so that he can beat their heads in (he has kind of missed being able to beat in heads) and say 'I told you so' to any Autobots still dubious about his fool's energon detox decisions.

Well, OK, it's partially that and partially that he's got a lot on his mind right now and this is a reasonable excuse to spend some time alone with his thoughts. WHICH MEANS ITS AN IDEAL TIME TO INTERRUPT HIM, GET TO IT

(That said he may also be skulking around Maccadam's to make sure none of the people he's supposed to be responsible for are starting shit. Alternatively I am sure I can come up with an excuse for him to be anywhere you want so if you want something more specific feel free to hit me up/post whatever kind of starter u like, you know. im flexible and so is this post)

Even though Newt's been here for almost a week, he's still quite not used to the comings and goings of the planet's native inhabitants. It's not hard to see them coming or hear them coming or feel their thundering feet through vibrations in the ground, but it's certainly a lot harder to get them to notice you to stop them from treading on you underfoot. At least back home the jaeger don't go walking around the compound just treading on engineers whenever they wanted to. There were totally protocols for that.

However, his ability to duck and dodge all depends on how much he's actually paying attention to his surroundings--something that he's especially been struggling with lately thanks to the abundance of strange alien flora and fauna to take in and document. He's had to be especially sparing with his dictaphone--considering he's only got the one tape and no paper to transcribe anything down. His kingdom for a few notepads and some pens.

He's studying some of the plants that had recently erupted from a few cracks in the ground and though horticulture isn't exactly his strong point, he knows that the only thing edible for the humans on this place comes from the plant life. Which is really weird, even by alien planet standards--because apparently the cybertronians had no need for this. God, he really wishes he had access to is lab back home right now, because he really doesn't want to be known as 'the guy who ate the new strange alien fruit and died from copious and severe bleeding due to poisoning' but at the same time he's just about had it with the bland fruit they can eat.

He's so wrapped up in his internal 'should I eat it' struggle, that he doesn't even notice the signs that a large cybertronian is headed his way until it's practically too late and he shrieks as a large foot stamps down on the plant he'd been studying, sending him flying backward a few feet just from the impact.

"What the hell, buddy! Watch it!" he shouts, his voice quavering up into a higher octave when he realises just how big the cybertronian is.

Newt's alarm is probably pretty justified by the look on Megatron's enormous metal face, because at first he looks like he'd like nothing more than to just step on him.

He doesn't really look any less like that after he takes a step back, honestly.

"You should probably be more careful yourself," he says, with undisguised disdain.

Okay. Yeah. He fucked up. This guy is hella big. Probably one of the biggest ones he's come into contact with yet. Newt just looks up, dazed, his glasses a little askew, trying not to focus on the fact the cybertronian has the look of a kid with a magnifying glass who just found an ant colony. It's certainly sending the hairs on the back of his neck prickling up.

"Or y'know! You could just watch where you're going! You totally destroyed my research here!" He gestures wildly at the crumpled plant that's been destroyed. C'mon Newt, don't make this guy try to step on you.
