[OPEN] Catch-all Rampage Post

Who: Rampage and ANYBODY
Where: Somewhere inside of the city
When: Some time after the medics get back??
What: Trolling under a bridge
Warnings: Horrible people being horrible and nitro-deer abuse.


[A]
Rampage enjoys hiding under things. He's not entirely certain why, but there's nothing quite so comfortable as huddling up in his beast mode in a dark crevice. It's not exactly the easiest thing to find a hole just his size to hunker down in, but today he's found a perfect shadowy gap under the partial wreckage of a bridge. Just the right sort of place to curl up in and have a nap.

Or ambush someone. It's easy for him to tell when someone with a spark comes near. They tickle at the edge of his senses and pull him into wakefulness so that he can lurk in wait, ready to snap out a massive claw and snatch them up. Just for fun, of course.

The sparkless - the humans and other mechanoids and such - have a much easier time of sneaking up on him.


[B]
Occasionally what Rampage manages to catch whilst lurking under things is a nitro-deer. When he's still and silent for long enough, sometimes herds will wander by, usually slightly on edge as though they can sense something is off but can't quite place what. Their nervousness isn't enough to save them all.

When his claw snaps out to grab one up, the herd scatters, most of them fleeing to safety. But nothing can help the small green creature caught in his grasp. It bleats and beeps and kicks, but Rampage pays it no mind. He reaches out with his other claw tip to gently stroke its head.

Voice low and soothing, he says, "There, there, save your cries, little one. The pain hasn't even begun."

[Cammi is one of those lucky, sparkless few that could sneak up on him if she wanted. Probably. She's not inclined to do it, but it sort of happens by accident. She stares at him from near his little hole, not entirely within his sight. She says nothing until he grabs the read and generally starts being a little crazy at it, and she's not afraid to make that fact an obvious one.]

I think that's the creepiest thing I've ever seen someone say to an animal. So... good job on that, I guess.

Living in the shelter of bridges and tunnels is nothing new to Slipstream, after her year on Earth and her months here on Cybertron, though caution keeps her from staying in any one place for too long. True, she has no real enemies here, besides perhaps the other femme that attacked her when she'd just arrived, but it was a good habit, to watch over her shoulder and keep from staying in one place too long.

Of course, watching over her shoulder means she's not watching where she's going, and she settles down in the shade cast by the bridge with not a single glance into the darkest shadows under it, with a tired sigh and a stretch of her arms and wings.

She is almost certainly in claw range.

It was strange having his arm back after so long without it. His balance was off because he was too used to compensating for being heavier on one side; First Aid wobbles as he climbs over rubble and ruined buildings, bending over more than a few times to keep himself from slipping. A few nitrodeer come bounding over the pile he was climbing, nearly knocking him over with surprise. It takes him a full few moments to regain his balance and make sure he wasnt going to--

He slides down, landing with a 'Oof!' next to Rampage's hiding spot.

First Aid tilts his head, visor flickering at the monster size crab holding the tiny bleeting nitrodeer. He scrambles up to his feet and makes a grab for Rampage's claw, trying to get his attention.

"If you're going to eat it don't torture it first!"
