Burst stared at RonRon, before shifting his optics around. “Y-yea, u-uh, it’s interesting, and, uh stuff. S-sometimes I can go without a j-job for a while…Probably my lack of skill… Y-yea, nothing too interesting, ah, but it’s, uhm always c-changing, so…yea…”

[RonRon smiled warmly and nodded again.] Do you ever do anything dangerous?

"Dangerous? M-me? H-hah, no." Burst let out a weak laugh. "N-no never. I-I don't think I could handle it."

Burstsin started following you

-How precious. Now she’s getting curious.-

And what exactly do you do with yourself these days, Burst?

I, uhm, uh, just do o-odd jobs. A-anything that’s offered to me, really, uh, yea…

N-nothing special! Uhm, w-what about you?

Well I’m supposed to be an entertainer. A singer. But I still haven’t been able to find any place looking for that. I suppose my best bet is to find a bar, but I don’t even know where to start looking.

-She vents a disgruntled sigh-

Have you come across one by any chance?

I-I'm afraid not...I usually don't even, uh, go out, t-that often... S-sorry... I hope you find something, uh, s-soon...

Burstsin started following you

-She chuckles, glancing over the bot-

Why thank you. You’re a shy little thing aren’t you?

Ah! Uhm, uh…uh… [he begins to mumble the soft sound of cooling fans fills his silence]

Shy, y-yea, uhm, that’s me, hah…j-just shy old me…

I suppose it’s not awful considering the war is over and all. It just seems every mecha I come across these days is a ‘Bot.

-She shrugs-

Burst, that’s a nice name.

Ah. Uhm. Uh. Thanks, uhm. Y-yea. Aria, is um, a nice name too

-Oh no he’s cute.-

Yet another Autobot. Where do you all come from anyway? Well regardless, it’s nice to meet you. My name is Aria.

Uh Uhh I-I’m sorry. Uh.I-I hope it’s not that bad of a thing for you…

Uhm, m-my name is, uh, Burst. N-nice to meet you too…

I...I don't. Uh. I-It's usually this, u-uuh, difficult right? To get used to?

I think I'm getting the hang of these lights

[lights flicker off before coming on brighter]

Soundscape hesitated, biting their lip. They weren’t going to press the issue— not here, not now. Instead, they returned to their original line of thought.

"Don’t worry, you’re not alone," they reassured. "There are plenty of unemployed right now. But the reason I ask is… I don’t know. Maybe I could get you hooked up with a job opportunity?"

"Yea…wait. Really!?" Burst looked up from the floor. "Y-you could do that for me? I, uh… you did say maybe… w-would, uh, really appreciate something l-like that…” He gave a smile at Soundscape, his servo coming up to his neck. Getting a job would be helpful, Burst was genuinely glad that he was getting some help looking with making some money.

"Really," the bigger bot smiled.

They paused for just a moment, bringing up a servo to rub at the back of their neck. “I mean, I can’t guarantee anything, but I can definitely try. You said your name’s Burst, right?”

"J-just you trying, is, uhm, it means a lot to me!" Burst smiled. Help was appreciated, it always was. "Yea!" He nodded in response. "My name is Burst, y-yea! I think yours is Soundscape..."

Burst sighed, deciding to make eye contact with the floor. It wasn’t something he was proud of, but it was the truth. It was painful to hear.

"Yea. I wasn’t really anything special in the war. I was, uhm…a-a scout. Usually I scouted for… bots that were missing…I mean, y-yea I got to see t-that, uh, my teammates made it! B-but those that I didn’t find…" He continued to divert his optics. He wasn’t fond of the memories he had, but he would imagine almost every mech wasn’t really fond of some of their memories either.

Soundscape’s features softened. ”Don’t be sorry,” they assured. “I’m Soundscape. Nice to meet you.”

They extended a servo, trying to stay relaxed and comforting. Burst didn’t seem to have the highest self-confidence around— the last thing they wanted to do was make him feel worse.

"A-ah, okay. uhh. Oh yea…Uhm, nice to meet you too!” Burst gave a small smile as he shook their servo. Soundscape was friendly, or at least right now they seemed friendly. “So….uh…” He was at a loss of words for what to say next.

"…You said you just do odd jobs here and there, right?" Soundscape offered, trying to keep the conversation afloat. "I’m guessing the war left you without a steady income, then?"

Maybe in another context the question would seem like an attack— but more than half of the population was jobless, trying to find their way in a more peaceful time. Soundscape had just been one of the lucky few whose profession had carried on from wartime.
