[The fact that Dist is up and around in the middle of the night is nothing new. What is new is his double-checking of the Kaiser's control systems -- all as quietly as possible of course. It would certainly be embarrassing for anything to go wring on its first real night of activity. Everything would need to be perfect. Besides, he had to kill time waiting for Sideswipe somehow.]

Date: 2010-06-17 02:30 am (UTC)He stands there, watching Dist for a few moments before he actually says anything.]
Busy?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-17 02:32 am (UTC)Only a little. You look prepared for something.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-17 02:40 am (UTC)[He leans against a wall, arms folded.]
no subject
Date: 2010-06-17 02:41 am (UTC)[He pauses for a moment, considering, then opens the cockpit.]
Get in. [as he climbs up himself.]
no subject
Date: 2010-06-17 02:47 am (UTC)Are you serious?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-17 02:48 am (UTC)Absolutely. Without my chair, there's enough room for two if you sit.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-17 02:50 am (UTC)[He pads over to the machine, still barefoot, and starts to climb up.]
no subject
Date: 2010-06-17 02:53 am (UTC)[He slips his feet into the makeshift straps; had his chair been there, the fit would have been very tight, but the hull is almost roomy without it. At least, as roomy as the cockpit of a mech can be.]
no subject
Date: 2010-06-17 02:55 am (UTC)[But he doesn't otherwise argue, slipping into an empty space with his usual grace. He just waits, tense, and ready to get this underway.]
no subject
Date: 2010-06-17 03:12 am (UTC)What all did you bring with you?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-17 03:36 am (UTC)My weapons. I don't need anything else.

Date: 2010-06-18 02:54 am (UTC)[And he's back to just watching the scenery. What little there is of it.]
no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 03:00 am (UTC)[The rest of the ride is rather awkwardly quiet; when Dist isn't talking about himself he often finds himself with little to say. He settles the Kaiser's weight back when they reach their destination.]
Do you want to get out?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 03:03 am (UTC)[He rolls his shoulders, his eyes intent on the building. For a moment, he wishes... he could have talked to Jolt, before they'd left. But there's no going back now.]
Let's get this finished.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 03:05 am (UTC)[Dist lowers the main body of the Kaiser to the ground, then opens up the cockpit to let Sideswipe out onto the pavement.]
no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 03:06 am (UTC)... Do we have a plan?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 03:09 am (UTC)[He snaps the cockpit closed and starts up the buzzsaw as the Kaiser rears up again. He takes a step forward, then swings it at the front of the building, aiming for a powerful first blow.]
no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 03:14 am (UTC)...and fails to so much as scratch it, as if the building were made of stone and the buzzsaw of paper. The saw clanks against the wall with a dull thud.
Somewhere inside, the Mayor looks up.]
Hmm?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 03:22 am (UTC)... Did you have a plan B?
[Without waiting for an answer, he starts forward, to head into the building.]
no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 03:34 am (UTC)[Dist rams the building with the Kaiser's three-fingered "hand." When that fails to do anything in particular, he slams his hands down on the control panel in frustration; he rails against the building for a few more moments before dropping the mech's main body down to the ground and exiting, following close behind Sideswipe.
Not that he was any good in a physical fight, but nothing was getting done outside, and he wasn't going to be simply left behind again.]

Date: 2010-06-18 03:44 am (UTC)[He gestures toward the window with a blade.] Try breaking the window with the mech. I'll try the door.
[Which he does, trying to wedge one of his blades into the lock.]

Date: 2010-06-18 04:54 am (UTC)From behind the front door, a voice:]
If you wanted to see me, you could try knocking.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 04:57 am (UTC)[He slams a shoulder into the door, like the sound of the voice simply made him lose what control he had. It's so close--they're so close.]
Get out here!
no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 05:02 am (UTC)You can't hide behind your stupid indestructible building forever!
no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 05:09 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 05:24 am (UTC)Get out here and face us.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 05:33 am (UTC)[Dist withdraws, very slightly, then rams into the door again.]
He's not coming out. We have to get in, and I can attack this door all night if I have to.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-18 07:01 pm (UTC)Try... knocking.

Date: 2010-06-19 11:28 pm (UTC)Just--Just get out here! Get out here and let me kill you! You deserve it! You--what you did to her! To all of them!
[He's not making sense, and he certainly no longer sounds rational.]
no subject
Date: 2010-06-19 11:32 pm (UTC)If I can't knock it down with the Kaiser, you won't be able to knock it down with your shoulder.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-20 02:14 am (UTC)[And he turns back to the door.]
Open it!
no subject
Date: 2010-06-22 04:27 am (UTC)[Dist has been droned for 12 hours.]
Oh. Hmm. Wrong one.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-22 09:04 am (UTC)... What did you just do?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-22 03:53 pm (UTC)[Dist has hopped down from the Kaiser and is checking his watch as though it's the most natural thing in the world.]
We should probably go home at this hour; I'm sure that we can come back tomorrow. Would you like to have a drink with me?
[CHEERFUL.]

Date: 2010-06-23 01:26 am (UTC)[Sideswipe has been droned for 12 hours.]
