[challenge] Rally Brothers

[ajremix]

Okay, not only am I in need of doing something light and fun, I've been having this overwhelming urge to do something OC-centric. So, this challenge is going to be centered around two of my TF characters, Freestyle and Relay. To put shortly, they're both special ops and, in their own way, tend to be mischievous and have a bit of a (rather well-deserved) problem with authority. You can check out a couple comics of them on my dA account.

Therefore, choose one or both of the Rallys and give me a prompt/character. Can't say how on the ball I'll be with these since I'm a little brain fried from too much sun, but let's give it a shot anyway! Need to get back in the practice as it is.

Freestyle - puppy dog optics

Sorry, Relay ended up slipping in because Style wasn't going to admit his plottingplanning to anyone else.

And, er, prompt inferred |D

"You're plotting something."

"I am not plotting."

"You're plotting."

Freestyle leaned back, causing Relay to tilt to one side as the blue mech flopped against his arm. "I'm not plotting, I'm planning."

"I didn't realize you differentiated."

Freestyle craned his head back to give Relay a 'your wit does not amuse me' look. He kept giving off that look until the younger mech gave in and asked flatly, "Alright, what are you planning?"

"I'm planning that, we are on a planet whose native species is on a somewhat technologically and culturally advanced level, correct?"

The Lancer rolled the thought around for a moment. "One of the more advanced of the species we've come across, yes."

"And they're unaffected by our war and therefore their entire culture doesn't revolve around warfare."

That thought, too, got rolled around. "Not to our extent, no," he conceded.

"Therefore, they probably have interesting ways to entertain themselves."

This hypothetical question-answer session was starting to get interesting. "Very probable."

"Except, for some reason, the officers don't really trust me."

"And whose fault is that?"

"Hush, you," with a finger tapping against his chin, Freestyle continued his verbal planning. "I'm sure I've figured out the officers' collective weakness but I have to wonder, is it manipulation if it's for the greater good?"

Relay paused for a moment, wondering if he heard right. He gave his brother an incredulous look, "As your idea of the greater good is being entertained, would it stop you either way?"

The Impreza's lips pulled back into a sharp grin. "Well put. My dear younger brother, I do believe we will soon have installed a full blown entertainment system like the one you've been pining for."

He pushed himself off of Relay and meandered a few tables over where a couple of the Protectobots were gathered. Relay watched his brother plop himself down and could hear him ask, "Hey, have any of you seen a Bose catalogue around? My brother left is somewhere and I can't find it."

Curious optics turned to the saboteur. "Bose? What's that?"

Feigning surprise, Freestyle asked, "You don't know? It's a great catalogue that has all these sound and entertainment systems in it..."

Relay ducked his head to hide a smile and shaking shoulders. He couldn't decide if his brother was the worst or greatest thing ever.
