((Iro, if you dont mind posting as Connor in the suburbs thread too, that'd be cool.))
Mud was sitting at the edge of the look out, waiting for his son Connor. Of course, Mudflap didn't really have a mate. He was just biologically related to him, in the sense that most people usually didn't think-in other words, a test tube baby.
Mudflap didn't really mind though, he saw it as a new challenge, and quite frankly, he thought his son was the coolest. He didn't really have much to do so Mudflap would hang around here a while. He waited, picking at bot-sized clusters of grass, rapping some random song by Will Smith called "I'm Comin'."

Mudflap's directions had frankly confused Connor mainly because his brain had some how scrambled them around which caused him to be a bit late, he was sure his Dad wouldn't mind much though. Connor revved up on his dirt bike, speeding down the dirt path slope were bits of gravel scattered here and there as he looked around for a bit red Autobot.
The suckish part was Connor's attention span, it was almost as short as his Dad's, actually, maybe even shorter. He kept forgetting which was to go more and more as he stared at the scenery while trying hard not to wreck. His ears twitched picking up a familiar voice singing to a rap song. This made Connor chuckle, he knew exactly who that was. He rode forward and then slowed a bit before pulling up several feet from behind his Dad, leaning his bike carefully against a small boulder, then walking over with a lazy-ish trot and catching up with his Dad. "Hiya pops, sorry I'm late."

Mudflap stopped rapping and looked over at his son with a smile."No probs homie, glad ya made it to this little niche. How ya been? Seen my bro and his son of late?" he inquired curiously. "Skids sure has been hoppin'. He hasn't said hi in a while."

"Doin okay and yer'self? Naw, I haven't caught eye of either yet. I'll let cha know if I do though Pops." Connor reassured him before sitting down roughly in the grass, semi dirt patch next to Mudflap and looking around. He pulled out a pair of binoculars he had bought himself and looked around at the beautiful views, before switching his sight to the skies. "It's rather clear today eh Dad? I'd expect at least a little action or somethin, not even a bird." Connor seemed a little disappointed but didn't show it in his voice, he was just waiting for his cousin and uncle to show up.

"I'm doin pretty spiffy actually-though I do need ta tell ya bout a couple tings...er...also someone wanted me ta give somethin to ya in the absence of their presence. I dunno why but dey must be shy or somethin...It was a er, late x-mas gift me thinks." taking the box out of subspace, it was wrapped in red wrapping paper with a green bow. The case was rather small but fairly heavy.
Jade had met Mudflap on one or two random cases in December, and thus when she made another trip to the nearest Con base to steal some weapons, she wanted to give one of her few friends a present. She had zero money at the time and other than art, it was the least she could do because she was stealthy enough to not get caught while rummaging through the armory. Mudflap glanced down at the box, a bit unsure of what he was going to stay next.
"Well er, I met this kid in one of da kitchens and um...I hope yer not gonna get discouraged by what I'm gonna say..."he muttered nervously, setting down the human-sized box gently. Inside it was an Energon pistol. It was self-powered so there was absolutely no limit on ammunition.
More than anything, Mudflap was sure that Connor would just be surprised by the news of him adopting Justin."But dis kid was 8 years old and quite malnutritioned. I couldn't just give him food an let 'im leave...Mudflap was having trouble finishing his sentence, so he just kind of trailed off, staring at the box then glanced at Connor, scratching his head.

Connor was a bit surprised, someone got him soemthing for Christmas? now he felt bad,he had to find out who it was and go get them something. He normally didn't ebcaus his job didn't pay him well and he had some trouble with school here and there so he ah to spend a lot of his time working on that in his bedroom with his snake hanging out with him around his shoulders.
Now that Mudflap was speaking like this Connor hid it well but had slight panic inside. Did someone get hurt, what happened? Was his Unlce a goner? What was going on here why was he so nervous? Oh no wait he said kid, kid what about a kid? What the hell was he talknig about? He was now looking up at Mudflap and giving him a 'what are you going on about?' expression.
He decided to get back to the box later, wondering what was up and raised a brow for a moment. Okay so there was a kid who had sme, aw the poor kid only eight years old and it sounded like his family treated him terribly. but wait, if he was at base was his family there? Something should be done about that no one has the right to do that to some poor little kid! confusion had already set over him, what was Mudflap pausing for what went on? "Pops you alright? What happened?" |

"Eh well, since I didn't want him ta just leave and go back to da urban jungle, and ya'll haven't had a proper chance to meet, I adopted him before I risked gettin into trouble with Optimus or one of da higher dudes...An well it's just pretty slaggin hard to give ya that kind of news cause I don't wanna make you feel like I've abandoned my attention from ya or I've just suddenly become inexplainably busy. Sorreh this has ta be so shockin', I wish ya'll could'a met before I made a final decision...but I didn't wanna get in trouble with da big guys keepin' a straggler 'round..."he scratched the back of his somewhat tiny head nervously.
Sure, Mudflap was always open to doing crazy stuff like Midnight and Interceptor, but not 'this' kind of crazy...

Wait a second he adotped someone?.. That was very.. Unexpected. It definitely gave Connor some surprise. Aw but hey... Poor kid... In his opinion his Dad did the right thing and not many would do that. Just hopefully he wasn't the LAST to find out. Connor just grinned and patted his Dad on the leg, the metal echonig slightly with ling clangs has he did so. "Naw Pops it's cool, so I have a bro now? That's sweet! And I think it's cool you did that for 'im, not a whole lotta' bots would do that, 'can't wait to meet him." He honestly couldn't and kind of wanted to comfort Mudflap about making that decision, he looked nervous or maybe even scared that he [connor] would react wrong. |
