Trashcan vs. Trashcan

[crabcake]

Who: Tarn and Rampage
What: Rampage is pretty sure Tarn's life isn't shitty enough.
When: After Tarn's banishment.
Where: The boonies
Warnings: Two horrible murderbots for the price of one thread.



Rampage has unfinished business with Tarn. Now the the immediate rage of Tarn's attempted murder has faded, he's not certain what form the business is going to take, but he did tell Tarn that there was nowhere he could hide, and as such he's determined to pay the now banished mech a visit.

He wasn't lying about Tarn being unable to hide from him, either. Rampage isn't certain just how sensitive his spark is, but there's certainly nowhere any Cybertronian can go on this planet that's too far for him to sense them. So into the wasteland he goes, trundling over the terrain in beast mode, many legs devouring the miles between him and the ripple against his spark he knows to be Tarn.

When he gets close enough for Tarn to hear, he calls out, "Come out, come out, wherever you are, unless you're too frightened to face me!"

Does he still welcome the challenge?

It’s been over a week since his banishment. Spinister had done his best to repair Tarn’s injured knee, but his wrecked throat was more complicated. Though, lately, his clicks and wheezes have almost begun to resemble words. Enough that on occasion he can squeeze out a painful sounding word or two before it dissolves into useless static.

Tarn has taken to leaving his shelter to escape companion's contemptuous gaze more and more frequently. He’s found a formation of rocks, sheltered from prying eyes and secluded enough in the wastes that he hasn’t considered the possibility of guest.

Rampage’s taunting call rouses him from his morose thoughts and he stiffens with apprehension. With no weapon and no voice, he is having a difficult time convincing himself to reveal himself to his adversary.

However, weakened or no, he refused to hide like a coward. Tarn gathers to his feet, making his way out of the rocks to face Rampage head on.

He has a limp, but his head is held high and proud as he locks eyes with the beastformer.
