"I didn't want to be home alone," Cornelius admitted as he slinked out from behind Starscream to join his sisters, though he made sure he was still close enough to hide behind him again if necessary.
Starscream glowered as he replied to both his femmes, "You are far too young to even think about fighting." He turned to Harmony to answer her, "Doubtful. I imagine this is all a great fuss over nothing and we'll have only wasted our time, energy, and patience." He glanced over his shoulder when he heard the large, plodding footsteps of other mechs, hissing angrily when he saw Twincast.
Soundwave too was nervous at Twincast's presence, shifting uncomfortably but otherwise trying to ignore him. It helped that his expression was unreadable thanks to his visor and mask, but it was still plain as day that he was uncomfortable. Frenzy did not notice, too busy talking to Tori and Bumblebee. "Ohh," the pygmy drawled. "My olfactory sensors are so much smaller than a big mech's, I can't smell as well as they can."

Chromia was trotting up towards the gathering with Rumble on her back, she was looking around to try to identify known Eos that would tag along for the trip. She frowned with concern upon identifying Twincast in the group, but her concern grew to plain worry once her optics landed on Starscream. "I hope there'll be no problems. This doesn't bode well already."
"I certainly hope not, Starscream's behavior can be... erratic, around him." Smokescreen flexed his door wings, keeping a watchful optic around Twincast. He would be the first to admit he disliked Twincast heavily and would prefer Starscream's company to Twincast's any day. However, he kept his comments to himself for now.
Prowl moved forwards silently, leaving his brother and their companions behind as he headed towards the organic tending to the Postal Office, the one he identified as an authoritative figure in the area, seemingly ignoring, whether purposefully or not, all present, wishing to known in detail what was the plan once the party was ready to go.
"Frenzy!" Rumble leaped from Chromia's back, dodging in between the legs of the other Eotrons and Eoghans alike, his microphone tail wagging with excitement as he made his way towards his brother. If Frenzy was there it meant Soundwave had to be near.

 Suncast frowned, turning her beak up high haughtily. "I don't want to get into a fight! I'm just afraid one might happen while I'm not around!" She looked over at Cornelius with one eye closed. "Right, Corny?" But before she could get the reaction she wanted from her brother, her shoulders shuddered a bit under Starscream's reprimand. "Aw, Matreee..."Meanwhile, Tori had shuffled slightly behind Bumblebee, her cheeks somewhat flushed. The reason was big, silver, and seemed fairly care-free. Bumblebee rolled his optics, but didn't say anything. He was kind of used to it. "I'm bigger than you, but my sniffer still isn't as good as an organic's. They're designed better for it, I guess." he said to Frenzy with a shrug. He was well aware of the tension that had arrived with Twincast, but did his best not to add to it. PJ had turned around towards Jazz, giving a small nod. "It would appear so. I believe all there is left to do is a final check on preparations before heading out." He looked over at Prowl approached them, nodding in greeting. "You and yours are all set, I take it?"

 Wooh, Jazz could pick up on the uneasiness already. Starscream was pretty vocal about it, but even from… Soundwave? Jazz’s beak parted slightly, at the two reactions, as well as the looks Twincast was getting from the others, before he slipped a claw out from under Rosanna and held it up a little. “woh guys.”How could he blame them really, socially Twincast was a nasty Eobot. Turning back to Twincast, shifting to speak to him quietly “should probably take up the rear… let Blaster know who’s all here and send his the starting coordinates” he said, in hoped that would keep Twincast at least a little busy. Twincast frowned at Jazz softly, not appreciating the way he was talking to him, but seeing as who was there… he couldn’t be to surprised. Scowling a little as he returned a look to Starscream, highly unimpressed, a slow, glance over to Soundwave, before turning to walk a few paces away. “Sir” he responded stiffly. Cheeping softly in surprised when Jazz moved his claw, climbing off of them, and looking around, tilting her head when she saw Jazz go over to talk to Twincast. Jazz looked back over to the group, sitting down for a moment and responding to PJ “Sweet,”Harmony striated her back, sitting up tall and opening her beak to speak “its better then sitting In the mountain Ma-“ though she’s silenced when her Matre suddenly Hisses, ears drooping back in surprise, and looking around at what he was so angry about.

Starscream shifted his stance to put himself more or less between his younglings and Twincast with one last glare at the blue mech before he turned his attention back to Harmony and Suncast. "The cave is safe," he told Harmony. "You aren't as sturdy as I am. That's why I insist you stay near the cave where you'll be protected." Still, there was really no use arguing. He just needed to make sure he watched over them and kept them safe himself until this was over.
"Oh. I guess that makes sense..." Frenzy muttered. Truthfully, it didn't make any sense at all to him, but he was not exactly the smartest mech in the area, and he knew it. He figured it didn't really matter anyway, and if he was going to say anything else on the subject, it was cut off when he was suddenly pounced by his twin. "Rumble! I knew 'ya'd show up!" he yipped happily as he nibbled on Rumble's helm.
Soundwave shrank under the glance Twincast gave him much as he tried to keep himself straightened and aloof. He used Rumble's arrival as a distraction, quickly walking over to him where Frenzy was playfully wrestling with his twin.

Prowl dipped his head a little, returning the greeting, straightning his wings as he sat down by the gathered group. "We are." He looked around to count down on the familiar and unfamiliar faces, filing it away in his memory banks to keep a steady count during the trip. "Do we know anything else about the situation?"
"I couldn't let ya have all the fun!" Rumble wrestled with Frenzy, microphone-tipped tail wagging around with contentment. "So, what's the big plan? We just marchin' up there or what?"
"Tori," Chromia seated herself next to the organic Eoghan, waving her paw in greeting. "Nice to see you again, even in these circumstances." The small chit chat had another purpose, namely that of keeping a subtle optic on Starscream. She wasn't about to admit it, but she was concerned for the flier and his offspring, moreso now that Twincast was tagging along.
Smokescreen merely sat next to his intended, keeping an audio in her chat with Tori, and an audio on his brother's coversation.

 PJ shook his head, lowering it slightly sheepishly. It was his personal shame that the circumstances didn't allow for better recon. "Not much. The forest seemed still from what I saw of it earlier. However, beyond that it's, for lack of a better word, a mystery."Suncast's ears flattened against her head unhappily. Matre loved them; she knew that. But all he ever worried about was being safe. Safe safe safe! She was an adult now, and wanted to be treated like one darnit! But... with Starscream for a matre... that wasn't easily said OR done. "I know..." she mumbled. Meanwhile, Bumblebee had quickly leaped onto all fours to get out of Frenzy and Rumble's way. There was no end of it when those two got together! As he watched them tumble away, he turned to Jazz. "Should we wait for Twincast, or is going to catch-up?" he asked as casually as he could. "Yes..." said Tori quietly, the white Eoghan still being in hiding-mode. It would pass, though. It usually did. She looked over at Chromia, glad for a distraction. "How are you feeling? Physically, I mean. Bee tried to explain to me what was going on with you guys, but... well, empathy can only go so far with these sort of things."

 Taking a few distracted steps forward as she watched Twincast strideing slowly away. The pink Pygmy sat down slowly, before turning her head, and looking up at all the large Mech, but of course she saw the femme to. Flicking her tail happily, she pushed herself back up, trotting over to them, but being mindful enough not to interrupt their conversation. Instead, her attention was drawn toward the rambunctious noises she heard tumbling past bumblebee, she made sure to get out of the way herself. Perking up when she saw that there was other Pygmy going along as well. Harmony sighed a little, used to her Matre being like this, he was so overprotective, pushing herself up as she flicked her ears back forward, and walking over to hook one of her arms around one of Starscream’s “Matre” she sighed again, trying to reassure her creator. Glancing around a little at the mech before whispering to him “but lookit’ all the hotties that are going” she grinned sneakily. Jazz looked to Bee as he spoke, pushing himself up again and striding over to talk to the smaller yellow Eobot “he ain’t goin’ far, he’ll be behind us.” Grins softly “we got Blaster on com, we’ll be stayin’ in contact with him at all times” pauses, the light from his optics casting down from under his visor flickering softly, indicating he was receiving a message, then chuckles at something.

Whatever Starscream was going to say in response to Suncast ground to a halt halfway out of his vocalizer with a startled squawk as he turned his attention and bright gaze to Harmony. "What?!"
"What's a hottie?" Cornelius timidly asked.
"Never you mind!"
"No idea," Frenzy admitted as he wrestled with his twin and intertwined their tails together, still nibbling Rumble's helm.

((Sorry in advance for delayed replies guys. My stuff's backdate/catch-up since main RP occurs at wpork, so unless it's Wednesday, Thursday, or earlier hours, I'm slow as molasses in January. Warning now, already talked to Mazo. XD; ))
They were behind. Nova had a hard enough time getting Yui and Novatron to stop trying to kill one another-- the whole reason she'd come along-- but this was ridiculous. It had finally taken a threat from Ironhide of leaving both behind for them to settle and get to the area the others left from.
Ironhide flexed his talons, looking around. Claws and paws everywhere-- a big group was moving, but towards woods. Tracking pawprints would be hard-- but Ironhide wouldn't give up on investigating the Insecticon-in-the-Brains feeling yet. The male growled, ready to react visually when Novatron padded past, forepaws valveted, ad she looked aroing, taking in that Ironhide did, Yui and Speed Star doing the same. Yui grunted.
"Already behind. Damn." Yui snorted, flexing her claws. Novatron snorted, lowering her beak to the ground, sniffing.
"Behind. Not lost." Novatron spoke curtly, sniffing before looking to Yui. "Can you be un-witchy and mark a trail back" The female snorted. Yui rolled her eyes.
"Fine, fine."
Ironhide grunted.
"Ye got an idear?" The male asked. Novatron nodded.
"Yeah. Tracking. Follow me. We'll catch up." With that, the female spin, beginning to follow the faint, yet familiar scent of metal. The other four exchanged glances in a "Who knew?" fashion, and proceeded to follow.
"Tell everybody we're on our way...!"
"SHUT UP NT!!!"

Whatever Chromia was going to say was interrupted by the squeak coming from Starscream's direction. She raised a brow in wonder at what was going on between the Deceptighan and his offspring but turned her attention back to Tori. "We're all still a little shaken but we're fine otherwise. We've been through worse before."
"That's why we're heading to investigate in the first place." Prowl nodded at PJ, flicking his tail and wings. "Do we have a scheduled time for departure? Are we going all as a single group or we'll split in smaller teams?"
"Guess we'll find out once we set out." Rumble tred to gnaw playfully on the raised crest on the side of his twin's helmet as they wrestled, uncaring of every other Eoghan or Eotron around them.

Harmony fluttered her eyelids, looking up at her Matre innocently. “Like you aren’t notching too…” she said quietly, lightly squeezing Starscream’s arm with her own. She knew very well that this would get a reaction out of her Matre, at least it was enough to distraction for him –away- from the others that seemed to be stressing him out more than he does naturally.
That… looked like it hurt. Rosanna jerked head back a little before cocking it sharply to the side, she continues to back away, Mech sure were rough with one another. Deciding to get out of the stepping, and… apparently the tackling zone. She pounces toward the first pair of metal talon’s she could find. They were blue though… who did she know with blue talons? Peering up, tilting her head at an unknown masked mech. to her, Soundwave.
Jazz looked over at Prowl's question, pushing himself up to make his way over to the current head command of the Eobots, talking to the ninja bot PJ. "figure we might wanna stay in a larger group, since we don't know what to expect, but S'long as we keep in radio contact, we could have a small group up ahead, scoutin'" looks to PJ as well when he offered his suggestion.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, and I'm quite sure you don't either! At least, I hope you don't!" Starscream squawked again, tugging the leg Harmony was clutching.
"Yep," Frenzy murmured around the part of Rumble's helm he had stuffed in his beak. "What's the Black an' White think 'bout all this?"
Soundwave looked down when he felt something small on one of his claws and tilted his head when he noticed who it was - that adorable pink pygmy of Twincast's. He lifted his other paw and bobbed it up and down slightly in a wave down to her.

Rumble let go of his brother's helm for a moment just to answer. "Prowl? He thinks the explosion's gotta be related to us Eotronians in some way. He didn't say much, he got down to plottin' with Smokestacks an' they were bein' al secretive 'bout it." He shrugged and proceeded to gnaw on Frenzy's helm again.
Prowl turned to Jazz, nodding his agreement. "We will have to wait and see if there'll be an appointed leader for this expedition, considering the amount of organics that'll be taking part on it. Otherwise, it's perhaps in our best interest if all of us Eotronians remain together for the time being." He paused, casting a quick sideglance at Starscream and his progeny. "Or as together as the circumstances... and personalities permit."

 Honesty… she didn’t, she only really ever heard other femme say that kind of thing. Tilting her head a little, looking around at all the mech again and letting go of her Matre’s arm, sitting up strait again and smiling up at him. “Okay” was all she said. Letting out a surprised squeak as her visor brightened, she quickly scrambled off of Soundwave’s claw, turning to face him once she was off, sitting in front of him, and bowing her head a little. “I’m sorry! I thought you were someone else!” she apologized sincerely. following Prowl’s gaze over to Starscream, he tilted his head a little, lifting the corner of his mouth, he knew Starscream could be pretty unfriendly, especially to Eobot’s “after what happened he’s not likely to trust anyone, especially with his younglin’ ‘round.” He turned his gaze back over to Prowl “sure if we give em space he’ll be okay” he shifted his posture to sit down "ain't ya ganna lead up Prowler?"
