[challenge] Backstory Challenge

[ajremix]

So it's JUST slow enough for me to put this up. It'll be the first of my (hopefully) monthly 24-hour challenges. If I can recall to do this on a monthly basis it'll be (idealy) on the first or within the first week of the month.

So this month's challenge is going to be backstory. Pick a character- whatever character you know (or think) I'm familiar with and I'll write a short drabble depicting their past however I see it. Because I probably won't be able to get to these as quickly as my previous challenges, you're free to pick three characters at a time. After I've finished all three of your challenges, you may pick another three. If someone else has picked a character you wanted to see a story of, you can still ask for them and I'll just do a different scene.

CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED BECAUSE GOOD GOD I HAVE SO MANY PROMPTS I SHOULD'VE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH MORE^^;;

Blaster

With Inferno leaning in on his shoulder and Skysail at his elbow, Blaster was finding it hard to work. "You know that thing 'bout being inconspicuous?" He asked irritably, "This ain't being it."

The two backed up slightly but still crowded in on Blaster's workspot. He harshly cycled out some air but just let it slide.

"Hope this works," Inferno muttered to himself.

"If it works, it works," Skysail muttered back, "and if it doesn't, it doesn't."

"And if Kup finds out, our collective chassis is fried." Springer added from where he sat far from Blaster on the berth. At least someone had the sense to give him some room.

"I can do this." Blaster half snapped. "If I could have some room..." The two at his back didn't move away, but they also didn't move in any closer, just stood by and watched as Blaster connected bits of a datapad together, then gutted another to do the same.

The red mech finally snapped both datapad casings shut and tossed one at Springer. "Here, let's see if this works." They both turned the pads on and Blaster typed in on his.

After half a klik a message came up on Springer's that read:

BLT: testing

To which Blaster got the reply on his:

SPR: received

Inferno and Skysail whooped as Blaster turned to his fellow officers in training. "Gentlemechs, we now have wireless chatting capabilities."

*LOVES* Wireless chatting! They would be bothering Blaster about that! I love it! I have no idea who Skysail is.

By the way, Blaster's screen name made me think of the sandwich. I now have a perverted weird mental image.

Thank you!

Don't mind Skysail, he's an OC that was in training with them |D
