The day was calm, with no recent Decepticon attacks, and none suspected to be incoming for some time.  The cons were too busy licking their wounds from the last battle, one that the Autobots had decidedly come out ahead on.  The celebrations had gone on long into the night and the recreation room was already a mess.

Thus, it was the perfect chance for a lone Autobot to slip casually outside.

Mirage had no shift currently scheduled, so he was free to spend his time as he pleased.  He certainly made no move to hide his departure, greeting his comrades in the halls on the way out, but the box in his hands remained unopened despite any passing curiosity.  It was quietly shifted into subspace before long, and  the former noble shifted into alt mode just as smoothly when he reached the doors.  Despite the completely inappropriate earthen race car mode, the mech had little trouble self-adjusting before driving off into the forest covering the mountain, for business unknown...

cliffjumper: (angry - what the slag is going on)

"What!?" Cliffjumper yelled and snapped out of the chair, gripping at the table's edges. "You can't fraggin' say somethin' like that after you say there ain't any other way to get rid of this or anything else!" Hissing, Cliffjumper grunted and let go of the edge with a disgusted snarl, throwing his arms up in the air.

"Or is there and you ain't tellin' me just 'cause you're trying' to get me to agree to all that... religious stuff? I ain't becomin' a slaggin' priest Mirage!" He really hoped Mirage wasn't doing exactly that.

But maybe that would kill his stupid, foolish crush, so maybe he should hope Mirage was doing exactly that.

Did Mirage somehow think he would make a good priest? The noble couldn't be that delusional.

cliffjumper: (angry - these fists will be in your face)

Probably just as well Mirage interrupted him, because Cliffjumper was grinding his teeth and his engine was snarling in jagged revs. He would have broken out yelling again if Mirage hadn't briefly surprised him with slapping his hand down on the table.

It didn't derail the frustration, but it briefly distracted him.

Growling, Cliffjumper did his very best not to burst out yelling before Mirage was done. Or he thought he was done, anyway. He might have stopped listening and had to do a quick review again and his field spiked out with his growl.

"Great. So we both know that." Optics flashing, Cliffjumper realised he should probably have remained sitting since at least he'd be closer to Mirage's faceplate like that, but he couldn't fragging well sit right now.

"Might be a fraggin' 'conundrum' for you, Mirage, but from where I'M standin' it just looks like your damn priesthood made sure there was no other fraggin' way to get help for an issue anyone might get hit by than by goin' to them!" The snarling grew into a yell, and Cliffjumper whirled around, stomping towards the door as he continued.

"Obviously the rites are actually real, and they mean a lot to people, not just the priesthood, but I don't fraggin' think I oughta have to swear to do somethin' I don't want to, or don't fit me, just 'cause some sludge-spewing, rusty elitist cargohaulers hoarded the only way to get control of this stupid, useless, thing!"

It took two tries for him to unlock the door and Cliffjumper would be sorry he was so angry except he wasn't, really, at all and frag all this. He didn't even bother to give Mirage a last dirty glare, because technically he wasn't mostly angry at Mirage (just a little), but rather at whoever first made sure the way to train to get this ability to see raised spark energy under control was to train as a priest.

The door opened, and Cliffjumper stormed out with enough noise he sounded far heavier and larger than he was.
