DD:HH:MM:SS - Days : Hours : Minutes : Seconds
AO3
Once upon a time, there were seven cousins born of four siblings.  The oldest sister and her husband had twins and named them Roman and Remus.  The second oldest sister and her partners had a child and named him Alec.  The youngest sister had one child and named him Patton.  And their brother, the youngest of them all, had three children named Logan, Janus, and Virgil.  
00:16:02:32 until Christmas Day, 7:58 AM
Logan, the oldest cousin, was leaning against the kitchen counter holding a fresh cup of coffee in one hand and rubbing his right temple with the other.  He blinked against the early morning sun of Christmas Eve streaming in.  
“You’re up early!”
Logan jumped at the movement to his right and found his aunt looking at him. 
“Good morning, Aunt Mel.  I made coffee.”
“Bless ya, kid,” she said, turning toward the machine.  When she came back around to grab the sugar, he was gone.
00:13:25:17 until Christmas Day, 10:35 AM
“Who took the last piece of bacon?!”  
Roman froze in his spot on the floor in front of the T.V.  If he were just very, very still, maybe-
“J’accuse!”  Remus shouted from the kitchen door over the sounds of chatter and clinking kitchenware.  Roman spun around to see Remus pointing at him menacingly.
“You already had some!”  Roman yelled back, pulling his plate close.  Remus, not breaking eye contact even once, methodically kicked off his flip flops and set his plate gently on top of a bookshelf.  He crouched a little and rolled his shoulders.
“Remus, no, my juice, Remus!  NOOO-”
00:13:23:03 until Christmas Day, 10:37 AM
From his cozy spot beneath the sheets in the spare bedroom, Virgil heard a scream and a thump.  And then several more thumps.  He blinked and stretched, smooshing his face into the pillow.  For one precious moment, he imagined he could go back to sleep but the dream was pierced by Aunt Patty’s shrill voice scolding someone down the hall.  
He shoved himself up on his elbows and sent a hostile glare at the general brightness of the room.  Things quieted down but it was too late - he was up.  He stretched for several more minutes before finally straightening his clothes and stumbling out to follow the smell of breakfast.
00:12:40:54 until Christmas Day, 11:20 AM
Virgil shuffled past the subdued twins in the living room and into the kitchen, stopping at the door as his brain tried to process what was happening.  His younger cousin, Patton, was furtively opening and closing all the cabinets, searching each and every one.  Apparently he found what he was looking for, because he started chuckling to himself and reached behind some cups to pull out a huge plastic bag of cookies.  He opened it and spun around on his socks, walking headlong into Virgil.
“Ah!”  Patton nearly dropped the bag, and a couple cookies fell out onto the floor.  Virgil laughed as they picked them up together.
“Whatcha doing, Pat?”
Patton waved him close, whispering.  
“My mom keeps hiding the cookies.  She said if I keep eating ‘em she’s gonna have to make more for tomorrow.  That sounds like a win-win to me!”  He took the floor cookie from Virgil and pocketed it.  They took turns peering into the dining room where the older folks were talking.
“You do you, cuz.”  They bumped fists and Virgil scooped some cold leftover eggs onto a paper plate to take with him to the living room.  Remus shoved past him coming back into the kitchen.  
Whatever Remus had planned to do in here was lost when he spotted Pat.
“Oo!  Cookies!”
00:11:22:49 until Christmas Day, 12:38 PM
“What exactly are we watching, Roman?” asked Patton, popping a couple Tums into his mouth and flopping down into a recliner.  Roman was still planted in the middle of the living room floor, but now Virgil was keeping him company, fast asleep on the couch with an empty plate in his lap.  Roman didn’t look away from the screen.
“A Christmas Prince.  It’s about a journalist that falls in love with the prince of a whole Christmas-themed country!  And the bad guy’s not too bad lookin’ either.”  Roman squeezed a pillow to his chest.
“Oh, right, I thought it looked familiar!  Did you watch Jenny Nicholson’s breakdown of it?”
“Who?”
Patton smiled at the look of wonder on Roman’s face as he followed the characters on screen.  At the silence, Roman turned around to look at him, distracted but curious.  Patton waved him off.  
“Never mind.”  Better not to spoil it.
00:07:12:24 until Christmas Day, 16:47 PM
“Dinner tiiime!”  Aunt Patty peeked into the living room.  “It’s all ready, you guys hungry?”
“Yisss!”  Patton launched himself out of the recliner with Virgil following slowly behind.  Roman tore his eyes away from the current Hallmark movie with great effort, checking his phone messages.
Aunt Mel was in the kitchen with their little cousin Alec.  Just as they passed through he let up a screech, making them all jump.  Roman’s phone went flying.
“AAAAA DON’T WANNA WASH I’M STILL PLAYING!”
“AH, sweet Jesus,” Roman clutched his chest dramatically as the rest started laughing.
“Alright, keep it together, ya hooligans,” Aunt Mel teased them.  “Alec, I’ve had too much wine today for you to be screaming at the water.  You told me yesterday you love playing with the water-”
Auntie continued to help Alec wash his hands and the cousins tumbled into the dining room where Logan and the grandparents were already gathering.  Logan braced at the incoming chaos.  
“What happened to you?”  He asked them.
“Didn’t you hear Alec screaming?”  Virgil deadpanned.
“Oh,” Logan straightened his glasses.  “Yes, that.”
The rest of the family came up from the basement talking heatedly about the Saints and the Vikings.  Who was winning or losing at that particular moment was unclear, but dinner would proceed regardless. 
00:04:47:19 until Christmas Day, 19:13 PM
“Defuse!”  Remus slammed a card down onto the table.  “Whew, that was close.  I almost exploded in a fiery, kitten-y death!”
“Boom!” Alec cheered.  Nearly the whole family was gathered around the kitchen-table-turned-game-table, even the grandparents and great grandma, Maman.  Aunt Patty and Uncle Mitch were downstairs watching the end of the football game, and Titi was just a few feet away putting a new batch of sugar cookies in the oven.  She shot a good-natured stare at Patton.  
“Sorry, mooom,” “Sorry, Titiii” he and Remus chorused.  “Patton tricked me!”
“Hey!”
“That’s okay, you two can help me decorate these later as punishment.  Remus,” Titi pointed to the person beside him. “Help Maman with her turn, remember?”
“Oh, yeah!”  Remus leaned over the centenarian.  “You got any actions, Maman?”
“Quel est ce dessin?”  She held her cards up to him and pointed.
“That’s a cat dressed as a taco, Maman.  C’est un mème.”
While the game continued around the table, Virgil watched Logan discreetly.  Sitting to his left, something was wrong with his oldest brother.  He wasn’t sure what yet, but it was definitely… something.
“Nope!”  Logan put a card down over Uncle Jim’s attack.  Aunt Mel went next, then she helped Alec with his turn, and then, there it was; Logan’s brow furrowed ever so slightly.  His eyes flitted back and forth between the players and the cards.  He stared at their faces, but not quite at eye level.  Patton’s, Roman’s, Grandma’s turns all passed the same - he was concentrating so hard.  Why?
“Virgil?”  Grandpa nudged him out of his speculation.  “It’s your turn.”
Logan was staring at him expectantly.  
“Oh.”  Virgil glanced at two mismatched cats and drew.  An exploding kitten.  He was dead.  “You’re turn, Lo.”
Logan spent a second longer waiting to see if Virgil was done, and then played his own cards.  As they both watched Remus go next, Virgil leaned in closer.
“What is up with you?”  He whispered.  Logan didn’t take his eyes off Remus’ cards.
“Hey!”  He kept whispering, jabbing Logan in the ribs.
“Ow!”  Logan yelped, then lowering his voice.  “What?”
“I asked you a question, don’t act like you can’t hear me.”  
Logan squinted at him, then his face shifted.  He looked stricken.  
“I’m playing “See The Future”,” someone said.  “Hand me the deck.”
00:04:22:44 until Christmas Day, 19:38 PM
VIRGE: what happened?
A new round had started and Virgil hoped that switching to text would let them continue their argu- debate without distracting the rest of the family.
BIG BRO: Nothing
VIRGE: bullshit
Logan ignored his phone, watching the game progress counter-clockwise this time.  Virgil did not accept this strategy.
VIRGE: !
VIRGE: !
VIRGE: !
VIRGE: !
VIRGE: !
VIRGE: !
BIG BRO: Stop
VIRGE: tell the truth.  
BIG BRO: (Seen)
They paused to take their turns, and when Virgil picked his phone back up, Logan was already typing.  He tried to be patient, but the energy was clear in the way his foot tapped the ground.
BIG BRO: It seems my hearing has not entirely recovered since that explosion during chem lab a couple months ago.  I’ve got tinnitus in my right ear.  It is quite difficult to pick up sounds over the ringing when they’re coming from that direction.  
BIG BRO: Or sometimes from any direction.  So, I’m concentrating a little more.  That’s all.  
Virgil glanced between the texts and Logan several times, Logan staring with seemingly great intent at his cards.  
VIRGE: THATS ALL?
BIG BRO: Calm down, it’s not a big deal.
VIRGE: have you been to a doctor?
Logan stopped to play another “Nope” card.  Virgil was ready to scream at the delay.  The chatter at the table seemed louder to him now and much, much different.
BIG BRO: Yes.  And I’ve done plenty of my own research.  There’s not much to be done unless I want to get surgery or start wearing hearing aids.
VIRGE: so wear hearing aids until you decide about the surgery
BIG BRO: They’re expensive, Virgil.
VIRGE: dads insrance must cover some of it and ive got some extra money
BIG BRO: No.  Thank you.  That money’s yours.  You worked hard for it.  
VIRGE: your e taking it
BIG BRO: That’s not the problem.
VIRGE: then what is.?
BIG BRO: (Seen)
VIRGE: why won’t you make it easier on yourself?  you know none of us will care if you wear one.  the explosion wasn’t even your fault, it was that other kid
Virgil sent the text and looked at Logan, waiting.  Remus was nearly finished with his turn; Logan was next.  The turns passed, but Logan didn’t pick his phone back up from the table.
VIRGE: why
Logan glanced at the text preview when it came up on the screen, still not moving.
VIRGE: i know you can see this
VIRGE: why
VIRGE: why
VIRGE: why
“Because!”  Logan shouted, slapping his cards down.  Everyone fell into a stunned quiet.
“Are you guys cheating?  Mom says cheating is wrong.”  Alec’s voice broke the silence a second later.  Virgil stuck his tongue out at him.
“I assure you we are not cheating,” Logan smiled at Alec.  “Virgil’s just being a pest.”
The game resumed, Patton taking an absurd amount of actions before drawing another Beard Cat card.  Was it even legal to have that many cards?
Virgil leaned back in his chair, tired from the stress.  His phone buzzed.
BIG BRO: This is my last semester.  I’ll get one after graduation.
00:00:41:12 until Christmas Day, 23:19 PM
Roman carried two mugs of coffee into the living room as back-to-back commercials for 24 Hours of A Christmas Story played on the T.V.  He handed one to Virgil and got back under the throw blanket.
“Thanks.”
“Whatcha doing?”  Roman peered at Virgil’s laptop.  There were at least a dozen tabs open.  The current screen showed some kind of fancy earpods.  
“Just killin’ time.”  Virgil opened yet another tab.
“Yeah, it’s a bummer Janus picked a college so far away.  But the train’s due in a few minutes!  Then it’ll be officially Christmas.”  
“I mean, he still has to, like, get here from the station.” 
“Whatever,” shrugged Roman.  He flipped through the channels.  All commercials.  He settled back on the Hallmark channel, laying down and closing his eyes while they waited for the latest must-have-product ads to end.
“Remember when we played dress up together?”  Roman mused.  “Mom taped all those toilet paper rolls together so we could have swords and we all fought over the two paper crowns from Burger King?  Do they still make those?”
“I have no idea,” Virgil laughed.  “That was so long ago, how do you even remember that?”
“Because I was a fabulous ruler!  The kingdom prospered unendingly under my leadership!”  Roman flung his free arm wide, not bothering to open his eyes.  “It was glorious!”
“All you did was declare free love-”
“An important doctrine!”  Roman jabbed at the air once before letting his arm flop back down and graze the carpet.  “All Janus did was universally pardon thieves and liars, was that so much better?”
“Well, I was playing a thief.  Maybe I’m biased.”
“You would…” Roman muttered.  He didn’t finish the thought.
“Roman?”
 A little snort was the only response.  Roman was fast asleep, coffee untouched and the remote resting by his head.
00:00:00:03 until Christmas Day, 23:59 PM
00:00:00:02...
00:00:00:01...
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Virgil was stirring; he snuck like a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that his brother soon would be there.
Christmas Day, 01:23 AM
“Wake up!” 
Roman gasped.  Someone was shoving him into the couch cushions.
“He’s here!”  Virgil bounced on his shoulder again, almost knocking the laptop to the ground.  
“Okay!  Jeez, I’m up.  I’m up!”
Virgil was already gone, shoving his boots on while a taxi drove away outside leaving two figures in the darkness with their bags.  By the time Roman was on his feet, Janus was shouldering through the door with a backpack and giant suitcase, a cute boy following just behind. 
“What is up, king?”  Roman and Janus clasped hands and half hugged.  “Who’s this?”
“Oh, you know.”  Janus shrugged off the bag.  “This is my boyfriend.  Nico, this is my cousin, Roman.”
Nico stifled a yawn and waved.  “Pleasure to meet you, Roman!”  Virgil came in setting down two more bags and nudged Janus.
“I thought we all agreed not to bring dates again after what happened last-”
“Oh, sweetheart, you must be exhausted!”  Roman interrupted as he picked up one of the bags.  “I’ll show you where you’re sleeping.”  
“Thank you so much, our stuff took forever to load off the train.”  Nico started to follow him.  
“Hands to yourself, Ro,” Janus hissed after them.  “I like this one.”  
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Roman grinned, disappearing around the corner into the hallway.  Nico hesitated.
“What…?”  
Janus waved him off.  “I’ll tell you later.”  When they were both out of sight, he turned to Virgil.  
“It looks like half the county’s parked in our front yard.  Is dad up?”
“He didn’t stay.”  Virgil shrugged.  “He got into a fight with Titi last night and left after an hour.”
“I see…” Janus sighed, looking down the hall for a moment.  “Can’t break tradition now, can we?”  He smiled up at his little brother.  “Did you get taller?”
Virgil answered by way of a bear-hug, squeezing the breath out of him.
“I missed you, too, Virge.” 
Christmas Day, morning-ish
“Merci, Maman!  Thank you!”  Everyone spoke over each other, unwrapping the sweaters she had made for each of them.  
“Yellow was very, uh, popular this year, no?”  She teased them.  “I hope that you like them.”
“Mine does not have yellow, it’s gold.”  Roman corrected everyone.  Aunt Patty scolded him.  Janus laughed.  
“Don’t complain, Roman, yellow is just the superior color,” said Janus, wrestling his own sweater on.
“Yours is more black than yellow!”  Roman pointed out.  Janus’ head popped up through the collar.
“Did I say yellow?  I meant ‘black’.  Black is the superior color.”
“Black’s not even a color,” Roman called after Janus shimmying away to grab a cookie with Nico in the kitchen.  He came back a second later.
“Why does this cookie look like it’s frosted with vomit?”  Janus held one up, looking affronted.
“Don’t suppress my creativity!”  Remus shouted from under the tree.
Christmas Day, sometime, who cares anymore?
Logan stood in the hallway, reading an email from Virgil, sent at three that morning.  It was lists of hearing aids, their pros and cons, and prices.  And another email from Janus a few minutes ago with links on how to get disability funding.  That would explain Virgil’s note at the end...
I love you.  Please don’t be mad.  I told Janus.
He rubbed a hand over his face and chuckled.  Had he really thought he was going to keep this a secret for even a day around those two?  He pocketed the phone for now and walked through the house.  
There was Patton and Roman watching a girl in a beret talk on youtube.  Roman had a horrified look on his face.  Janus was in the kitchen teaching Alec how to play chess, and not going easy on the kid at all.  Logan peeked downstairs.  There were Virgil and Remus and Nico, playing charades with the aunties.  Remus was making some obscene gesture that had Aunt Mel on the floor laughing and spilling her wine, and Aunt Patty was yelling at both of them.
Logan wandered to the couch and plopped down.  It’s a Wonderful Life, was playing on the television.  Logan hummed along with the closed captioning as the characters celebrated saving George Bailey from false charges.  The vibrations in his chest felt right.
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne
~
The End.

Reon x Kenta
I Don't Want to be Alone
The sun is gone, and the wind blows strongly outside. There may be an incoming storm, so GYROAXIA's practice got canceled. Reon though it was a good thing. He could use some solo practice.
Home alone, Reon sits on his couch, guitar and pick in hand. He plays the melody for their new song, but it's a but difficult without Miyuki's drumming or Ryo's bass. Reon sighs and leans back against the couch.
There's a knock on his door, startling him from his train of thought. Reon frowns, putting his guitar down and shoving the pick in his pocket.
Who could it be?
He opens the door. Standing in the door way, is GYROAXIA's guitarist, Kenta Satozuka. Surprised, Reon scans him quickly. His tie is loose, his red hair messy, face flushed red, and his chest heavy. Reon can smell the alcohol on Kenta's clothes.
Out of all places, he choose Reon's house. It infuriated him slightly. Kenta and Reon didn't really get along well for reasons called Nayuta.
"Kenta? What are you doing here?"
A strong wind blows, and Reon shivers. He steps aside and lets Kenta into his house. Despite being drunk, he still had the decency to take off his shoes and leave them by the entrance.
"Can't believe how drunk you are."
Kenta turns around and points a finger at the guitarst.
"I'm not drunk!" His words are slurred together, obviously he's been drinking more than usual.
"Yes, you are."
"I'm not...fucking drunk!"
It's rare seeing Kenta angry, usually he's calm and quiet. Hearing him swear is another rare thing. Actually, Reon can't recall a moment where Kenta had cursed.
"Alright, can you tell the time?" Reon asked.
"Yes," the redhead turns to a clock on the wall, "I'm not fucking drunk."
Reon slaps a hand over his mouth, trying not to laugh loudly. He wished he had a camera to record it. Reon should really help Kenta. But it's another rare thing to see him drunk. Yes, Kenta liked wine and did drink it fairly often, just not a lot in one sitting.
Reon sighs and wraps an arm around Kenta's waist, letting his weight lean on him. Kenta graps Reon's shoulder in an attempt to steady himself. He wonders why Kenta came to his house. Maybe he should do some questioning.
Just a little bit of prying.
"Hey, Kenta. Why are you drunk?"
"Cuz I drank too much?"
Reon rolled his eyes. Okay, so maybe Kenta still had a shitty sense of humor. It kind of ticked him off.
"Nice one. Now tell me, why were you drinking?"
"Oh...fuck. Who knowz? I just got thirsty."
Kenta's words are slightly clearer, but it's kind of hard for Reon to understand him. The questioning will have to be cut short.
Reon takes Kenta to the couch, and the guitarist plops down. The redhead rubs his eyes, a quiet yawn escaping his flushed lips. Reon frowns soflty.
Kenta should take his bed for tonight. Sleeping on the couch isn't really comfortable. Besides, Reon still has practice. He glances at the clock that Kenta talked to earlier.
11:00 PM
"Reon."
"What?"
"What're ya thinkin'?"
"I'm thinking you should take my bed tonight."
"Oh."
He grabs Kenta's arm, and again slowly drags him away. Kenta leans against Reon, using him as support.
"Reon."
"What?"
"I'm hungry."
"No, you're going straight to bed."
"Ugh! Okay."
Kenta reluctantly allows Reon to drag him to the bedroom. He stares at Reon, who cutly bites his lower lip as he struggles to drag Kenta. He finds everything about Reon cute.
"Hehehe~"
"What's so funny?"
"Nnnothin'. You look cute though."
"Kenta, you're drunk."
"For fucks sake, I told ya'! I'm not drunk."
Reon heaves a sigh, relief washing over him as they reached his bedroom.
Why did it take so long?
He throws the redhead on the bed, who let's himself be thrown. Reon rubs his shoulder, which aches from Kenta's tight grip. There's a moment of silence, and Reon can see Kenta's expression change.
His face is still red, but his mouth is set in a straight line, and his eyes seemed watery. Kenta shifts in bed, leaving a wide area empty.
"Reon."
"What?"
"Lay down with me."
"Kenta..."
"Please? I don't want to be alone."
The yellow eyed male is taken aback. Kenta was never open with his feelings. Especially with his desires. So it's surprising to hear Kenta ask something. Especially a request like that.
"Fine. But I'm only going to lay down."
Reon fills the space Kenta left, awkwardly lying on his back. Kenta wraps an arm around his waist, gently nuzzling his face into Reon's shoulder.
"Will stay right here?"
Kenta spoke softly, voice barely reaching a whisper. It was so quiet, Reon thought he hadn't spoken at all. He glances down, and Kenta looks at him with hopeful eyes. Almost like a child begging their mom to stay.
"Sure, for as long as you need me to."
Kenta smiles soflty, a bright and beautiful smile that blinded Reon. He grabs Kenta's glasses and puts them on the nightstand.
Well, if he's going to sleep in the same bed as Kenta, he might as well get comfortable. He rolls onto his side, and brings a hand to the red strands of hair. He gently runs his fingers through the soft locks of hair.
So soft.
Reon slowly closes his eyes, feeling the drowsiness get to him. Weird, he thought. He wasn't tired until Kenta got here. He did waste a bunch of energy carrying him.
The warmth of the sun, brings Kenta back to consciousness, his head throbbing in pain. He groans softly, rubbing his eyes. He realizes the limiting space, and slowly raises his gaze.
Kenta's heart jumps at the sight. Reon's chest rises and falls, a steady rhythm that matches the beat of his heart. His hair is messy, but it makes him look hot. Kenta gulps slightly at the choice of words.
So he likes Reon, what's the problem?
The problem is that he got drunk and blacked out along the way. He doesn't remember jack shit. Kenta doesn't know if he told Reon about his feelings nor if he caused problems.
The thoughts and alcohol make his stomach ache. He realizes this pain, and groans softly. His nausea and head ache isn't really helping. Kenta gently pushes Reon's arm, slowly sitting up. He's careful not to wake him up.
His head feels like it's being squeezed under some sort of pressure. Kenta groans again, rubbing his head.
He feels like throwing up. This is not okay. He slowly gets off the bed, his legs threatening to crumble beneath him. The room spins and he doesn't know if he's on the floor or still standing. Kenta can feel the acid rising up his throat.
He cursed mentally and rushes to the bathroom, forgetting Reon's presence. He manages to get there in time to empty out his stomach. He holds his hair back, spitting into the bowl beneath him. He presses the handle, and watched it flush. Kenta waits patiently.
It comes again, the feeling of something going up and the acid burning his throat. He hates that feeling. Not to mention the taste is gross. He just tastes alcohol and puke. Not a good mixture.
Kenta breathes heavily. He feels something grazing his back. He jumps slightly.
"Hey, hey. Kenta it's me. Just relax, okay?"
Reon's voice is soothing and gentle. Kenta actually feels relaxed. He can still feel his stomach acid churning.
"I brought water and aspirin. Take them once you're done."
Kenta nods, feeling the bile rise up again. He mentally curses, and was slightly ashamed. Reon was in the room, afterall. Bearing witness to this mess.
Once he's sure it's over, and his stomach is no longer bubbling, he sighed softly. And gingerly stood up. Kenta opens the sink and rinses his mouth thoroughly. He rinses and spits repeatedly.
"Hey, I got you a toothbrush. I'll get you some clothes and a towel so you can shower."
Kenta nods once more.
"Thank you."
He cringed at the sound of his voice. Weak.
Reon smiles softly before disappearing again. Kenta rubs his head, groaning softly. He burshes his teeth for about ten minutes. There is no way he won't be thorough with his hygiene. Once that's done, he takes the aspirin and gulps down the glass of water.
The door to the bathroom opens again, and Reon leaves a pile of clothes by the entrance along with a towel.
"Sorry if the clothes don't fit you. They're mine."
Kenta tries his best not to blush. Wearing Reon's clothes is a blessing. He silently thanks Reon, who simply smiles in return.
Luckily, the keys of the showers were simple. He turns only the cold water on, and steps in. The cold water wakes him up. Kenta sighs softly, splashing the water onto his face. He just realized he doesn't know where his glasses are.
I hate myself so much right now.
Kenta groans softly. He's been tired recently. Band practice, school, checking in on his brother, taking care of Nayuta. Now that he's alone with his thoughts, it seems strange.
Why the fuck am I taking care of Nayuta?
Kenta grabs a shampoo bottle, making sure it's shampoo first, and squirts some onto his hand. He feels to relieved to shower. He reminds himself that he's at Reon's place. He blushes furiously, the warmth traveling down his neck and lower. He cusses out loud.
After showering, he grabs the towel and quickly dries himself off. Kenta slips the clothes on. It's rather loose around him. A long sleeved shirt, and grey jeans. They're really comfortable too. He exits the bathroom and steps into Reon's bedroom.
The room has obviously been cleaned and organized. The bed is made and the nightstand only has a clock on it. And...
"My glasses. Thank God."
He grabs them and slips them on. He can see clearly now. He smiles softly. Kenta leaves the bedroom and catches a whiff of food. His stomach rumbled, and he noticed how hungry he is.
Reon can cook?
He enters the kitchen and sees Reon by the stove. A song he doesn't recognize is playing, but it's a good song. Reon gently hums to the song, as he prepares breakfast. Actually, Kenta glances at clock, brunch. The song reached the chorus, and Reon began singing.
"Seiippai kono namida kakiwakete"
"Kimi ni subete o ageru kara"
"Onegai dō ka kienaide kure"
"Ano hi mamoru to kimeta, yakusoku wa kono mune ni"
Kenta smiles soflty. He wished he could see Reon's face. And besides, Reon's singing wasn't bad. It's actually really soothing and calming.
"Good afternoon."
Reon turns and beams at Kenta. It's startling, but the redhead doesn't mind. He enjoys seeing Reon smile. And he rarely smiles at him. So he won't comment.
"Hey! How'd ya sleep?"
Reon asks as Kenta takes a seat at the table.
"Not bad. Uhm, and you?"
"Pretty good, actually."
The kitchen is quiet. Kenta feels awkward, but the air doesn't feel that way. He wants to talk to Reon to ignore the weight of the air.
"What are you making."
"Ah, nothing special. Just curry."
The song that was playing hasn't finished, and it reaches the last few lines. Reon sings all of it flawlessly.
"It's a good song. What's the name?"
"Oh, haha. It's Polaris by Blue Encount. It's the opening for My Hero Academia."
Kenta has heard the name before. He just can't recall what it is.
"Oh, is that so?"
"Yeah, the openings are great and Blue Encount is a great band. I like to cover them sometimes."
Kenta nods, and it feels as if the air is lighter now. After a minute of waiting, a plate of curry is set in front of him, along with a spoon. Kenta thanks him, and gingerly scoops up a but of the curry. Reon sits across from him, setting his own plate.
"Oh, it's good."
Kenta comments. Reon smiles and nods, eating some himself.
"Sorry if it's kind of boring. I wanted to make something simple and quick. It's the only thing that came to mind."
Kenta shook his head.
"Now, tell me what happened yesterday."
Kenta shoves a spoonful of curry in his mouth. Wanting to avoid the question, he took his time breaking down the food. Reon sighs softly.
"Fine, don't answer."
Reon angrily stares at the plate in front of him, eating the food little by little. Kenta felt a little guilty. While showering, he did remember what happened yesterday and why he got drunk.
"I'll tell you what happened. But you have to tell me what I did last night."
"Alright."
Kenta gulps softly, poking at the curry with his spoon. He sighs softly and puts the spoon down.
"Wataru called me last night. He told me we had to talk."
"Your brother?"
"Right. Apperantly, my parents got in contact with him. They told him that they wanted to see me and him."
"Wait, aren't your parents divorced?"
"Yeah, Wataru said we'll be meeting them next week. I didn't want to. I told him I wasn't going to. He got mad at me. We had a small argument."
Kenta fiddles with his sleeves, avoiding eye contact with Reon.
"I decided to drink a bit. And, well, you know the effects of alcohol."
Kenta grabbed the spoon and shoved the curry into his mouth. It's good and made by Reon. He'll eat it. Besides he's done talking.
"Oh, uhm, I'm sorry."
"It's fine. Now tell me what happened."
"Oh, okay. You came by my place at like eleven. I let you in and thought you should sleep it off. That's it."
"Did I say anything?"
"Pfft, yeah. You told a clock you weren't drunk."
Kenta blushes madly. Here he was, worried about spilling his unnecessary emotions. But his worst enemy was talking to a damn clock.
"Reon, I'm serious. Anything else?"
"Err, nothing strange. I mean, you asked me to lay down with you because you didn't want to be alone."
Is it possible to blush this much in one day? Yes, yes it is.
Kenta's face grows hot and he looks down at his food. He rapidly eats all of it, wanting to leave the kitchen as quicklt as possible.
"Oh, and Kenta."
"Hm?"
"I think you should talk to your parents."
Kenta nearly chokes on the curry.
"You should be able to rely on them. Of course, that doesn't mean you should trust them right of the bat. I think you should try and fix your relationship with them."
Kenta coughs, startled by the sudden piece of advice. Reon stands and grabs a cup of water. He offers the cup and Kenta takes it.
"Thank you. You did a lot for me."
"Don't mention it. I'd do it again."
Kenta and Reon smile at each other.
"I'll make sure you won't have to."

can i request suju reaction to finding their partner crying and when they go to console them they find out its cuz their partner was thinking about how much they love them? (including the four outcasts if u dont mind uvu u can do them separately tho suju is a huge group) please and thank you!💕
I am sorry for it taking so long to post! I will be making this in two parts. The other four will be in part 2. Thank you so much for your patience and for the request. Some are super long but I think it is such a cute idea. I cry at everything, even if I’m happy so this was nice. 살랑해요!💕
A/N: The reactions below are just my opinions. I could be incredibly far off for reality but I think it was a cute little reaction and I enjoyed wtiting it.
-🍓🥛
 l e e t e u k(정수): 
The second Jungsoo walked into your shared bedroom and saw you crying, he immediately rushed by your side.
“왜?! 왜 울어?!”-(Why?! Why are you crying?!)
Leeteuk had thought something bad had happened to you and was prepared to cuddle with you all night. But when you looked up and said, “I just love you so much.”
Jungsoo would hug you so tight and say, “나도 사랑해, 여보.”- (I love you too honey.)
Tumblr media
h e e c h u l(희철): 
As soon as Heechul saw you sat on the couch, curled up in a blanket, he instantly thought the worst.
“야! 왜 울고있니?! 노굴 때려야 해?”- (Hey, why are you crying?! Who do I have to beat up?)
When you sprang up and higged him tightly, while saying, “You would have yo beat yourself up, because I love you so much!”
Heechul’s body would immediately relax and he tightened the hug and said, “야, 너 때문에 깜짝 놀랐어!”- (Hey! You scared me!)
Tumblr media
y e s u n g(종훈): 
You had been watching a compliation of Junghoon’s beautiful voice. While watching the video, you started to realize how much you missed him, his voice, his smile. Being so caught up in the video, you had failed to notice Yesung standing in the threshold of your bedroom. The second he knocked on the door, you swiveled around in your chair and the tears started to fall.
Jonghoon kneeled in front of you, cupped your cheeks and said, “작이야, 왜울어?”- (Babe,are you crying?)
When you explained that you were missing him, he would pull you close and say “아무 데도 안 간다.”-(I’m not going anywhere).
Tumblr media
s h i n d o n g(동희): 
The new Suju Mv had just come out and Donghee(동의) wanted to show you it. After seeing Shindong dancing you started to tear up. The second he saw you crying his response was to make you smile or laugh! “자기야… 내가 잘 생겼다는 건 알지만 널 울릴 줄은 몰랐어!”(Baby… I know I’m handsome, but I didn’t expect to make you cry!)
You instantly started smiling and Donghee pinched your cheeks and pulled you in for a warm hug. When you explained that you were crying because you were proud of him and loved seeing him do what he loves, he would melt.
“야! 자기야, 이모든 감정들이 날 배고프게 만들었어.” (Hey! Baby, all these feelings made me hungry.)
Tumblr media
e u n h y u k(혁재): 
You knew Hyukjae(혁재) was getting ready for the upcoming promotions. He was practicing especially hard today, so you decided to surprise him with 점심(lunch). Just as you were about to walk into the practice room, Eunhyuk(언혁) started dancing. His body moved effortlessly to the rhythm and you were utterly enraptured. You hadn’t realized that tears were slowly spilling from your eyes until the music stopped. You quickly wiped your eyes and entered the practice room. Hyukjae ran to you and scooped you up in his arms.
“자기야! 깜짝 눌 랐잖아! 울고 있었니?! 무슨 힘 일있니?”(Babe! You surprised me! Were you crying? Is something wrong?)
When you explained that you just loved him and loved watching him dance, he smothered you in a hug and said, “나는 음식을 사랑하는 만큼 너를 사랑한다!”(I love you as much as I love food!)
Tumblr media
s i w o n(시원): 
It was your anniversary and Siwon had been planning to surprise you with a nice homemade candle lit dinner. You also had a surprise for Siwon, that night as well. When you came home, rose petels were sprawled on the floor and guided you to a table illuminated by cotton rose sented candles.
Siwon emerged from the kitchen holding two diner plates. A beautiful smile dawned his face and he said, “마음에 드세요?”(Do you like it?)
You were so overwhelmed with emotions that you started to cry happy tears. While nodding furiously, “I love it and I love you!”
You hugged him and said, “I also have a surprise for you too!” Within a few moments, you pulled out a ring and proposed. Let’s just say, the dinner conversations were not lacking tonight.
Tumblr media
d o n g h a e(동해): 
Donghae was twenty minutes from boarding a flight to(). You knew he was going to be away for a good amount of time and as much as you tried to keep yourself composed, the tears were about to pour. When Donghae noticed your eyes starting to water, he cupped your cheeks with both hands and said, “여보, 무슨 일이야?”(Babe, what’s wrong?)
He promptly pulled you close and rubbed soothing patterns on your back. Once you relaxed enough, you told him that you were crying because you loved him so much and were proud of him.
He chuckled and said, “여부, 나도 사랑해. 매일 전화 할게!”(I love you too, honey. I will call everyday!)
When it was time for him to board the plane, he kissed your forehead and pulled out a small Nemo plushie from his bag.
“그를 잘 보살 펴라.”(Take care of him.)
Tumblr media
r y e o w o o k(려욱): 
Wookie and you had been wanting to go on a date for a while. The two of you had planned a more private date in the comfort of your home. You were in charge of dinner, decorations and music. Ryeowook(려욱) was in charge of bringing wine and himself. When he finally arrived, he was wearing a nice suit and hidden behind his back was a bouquet of Forget Me Nots and Baby’s Breathe.
After you both finished dinner (definitely not take away), you two decided to dance around the living room. “양화대교” by Zion. T(highly recommended) was playing softly in the background while the two of you gently sway back and forth. Suddenly, Ryeowook lowered himself until he was on one knee.
When he saw you start to tear up, he immediately stood up and said, “여보! 미안…”(Honey! I’m sor…). You hugged him tightly and said, “Of course I’ll marry you!”
(You’re Hyukjae)
Tumblr media
k y u h y u n(규현): 
It was around 11 pm and you had gotten caught up binge watching your favorite show. Kyuhyun had tried so hard to keep up with the show, however the 5th episode ended up watching him. At first soft snores escaped his lips, but right during the the exciting bit a loud snore cut of the main protagonist’s words. Looking down you noticed Kyuhyun’s head laid on your lap. Strands of hair were sprawled across his face and his lips were parted slightly. As you removed the strands away from his face, you forgot all about your show.
In a few weeks he was going to be on tour and have very little time. You only realized when you had started to cry when you heard Kyu(규) groggily say, “자기야?”(Babe?) You explained that you just loved him and were going to miss his snoring while he was on tour. Kyuhyun turned off your show and the lights and wrapped you up in a blanket.
“그렇게 좋아한다면 나와 함께 코를 골아야 한다.”(If you love it so much then you should join me in snoring.)
Tumblr media
A/N: I feel like some of these gif don’t match…

Wait I wasnt specific skdkakka sorry okay what was Mike and Micky's morning routine? What's the morning routine in the pad?
Ahh love this love this!
The morning routine living with Micky
Honestly I'm not sure Micky had a solid routine! He works 11 AM to 7 PM but he gets up at 9 AM or maybe even earlier so that he can have lots of time to get ready, do I think Mike just adapts to whatever schedule Micky has, given that his anxiety allows it as he wakes up many early mornings with nightmares. It's kinda like an internal clock, really? Out on the streets he was only ever used to getting to sleep up until 6 or 7 in the morning before he was woken up by people or police officers, or back home when pa would bust into his room n start yelling at him early in the morning so he kinda got used to it
Anyway, off track
So as I was saying, Micky's morning routine consists of showering, brushing his teeth(mike will do the same but hes still embarrassed using mickys bathroom😭), taking forever to straighten his hair, making and eating breakfast with mike UwU, walking the dog, and if he has any time left he'll hang out with mike and talk to him for a while
He probably gets up real early just for the sake of taking time to straighten his hair lmao
Mike knows that Micky leaves for 8 hours ever day so he dreads the mornings cuz he always misses Micky so much cuz sometimes Micky will have to stay for a few extra hours if someone didn't do their work and he had to pick up the slack , so mike sits at home just waiting for Micky to get back and he's so lonely 😔😔
But while Micky's gone mike will do some tidying up, he'll do some dishes if there's dishes in the sink, he'll walk the dog more , he'll water Micky's few plants if needed, he'll probably vacuum but it drives the dog wild
Unfortunately there's probably some days when Mike ends up having a panic attack but Micky's not there to help 😔
——
Monkees morning routine!!!!!
They go to bed at 9 and wake up at 7! Mike will wake up a little earlier than the rest but only by a couple minutes, he'll sit up, take his meds, or he won't and the others will have to bug him to do it. Their morning routine can be quite chaotic cuz they're all trying to get ready at the same time! Same as the night time routine, they'll all try to get into the bathroom all at once to brush their teeth and it's super funny I love it,,
Then they'll all shower which is wild too ahaha
Mike always makes breakfast so they'll all sit around and have breakfast and Mike will probably chug coffee, it's not good for his anxiety but Mike's not very smart lol
Sometimes mike will only make breakfast for peter, micky and davy but not for himself if he doesn't feel hungry, he just eats later on in the day
After breakfast, Mike will wash the used dishes and then they'll all sit around together and maybe watch TV or talk or work on songs they may have been working on the previous day :)
Afterwards they'll all get up and do any chores that may need to be done :) like dusting or sweeping or stuff like that, or they'll even do instrument maintenance, Micky will clean his drums or replace a drum head or two if needed, Mike and Peter will clean the guitars and maybe restring them if needed, and Davy usually helps with the guitars seeing as maracas and tambourines don't really need maintenance
Then once all is said and done they'll go out in search of places that may take them for a gig! Unfortunately theyre not always successful, and let the trouble ensue

24. “i don’t blame you, i wouldn’t love me either”
not as angsty as it could be but still…
hrems
*herms
whatre u doin
im bored
i wish u were here…
i mean im glad ur staying in bed bc ur sick but
Hermann stares at the screen blearily, eyes stinging slightly even with the brightness all the way down. The messages are timestamped an hour earlier, and he hadn’t seen them until just now, exhausted and fast asleep, having crashed in bed for a nap due to the aforementioned sickness.
His brow furrows as he tries to recall what event the other could possibly be attending; as far as he knows, there isn’t any sort of party; if there had been, Newton would’ve talked his ear off about it. If not a party, though, then what?
Newt? Where are you? he types, having to concentrate extra-hard to avoid typos. For a second, the screen reads sent before switching to read at 11:26 PM. After a few minutes, he’s about to give up hope of receiving a reply, but then the little pencil icon appears.
im not in thne lab if thats what ur askign 
im in my room
*asking
*the
Hermann smiles slightly at the typos; Newton always thinks faster than he can type or speak, and it’s endearingly extremely clear in moments like these. 
im just
sad
i think? idk i might just be hungry…
The messages are rapid-fire, and it’s like having the biologist by his side; his tendency to go off on tangents in real life conversations transfers over to text, as well, the jump from topic-to-topic, while jaring for outside observers, is familiar to Hermann. Comforting, even.
im in love and it hurts
Hermann draws in a deep breath, surprised. Newt, are you drunk?
no im not stop worrying
okay maybe im overexhausted 
i havent slept in 36 hrs
Newton! Hermann wants to snap, scold him for his feckless attitude, but text doesn’t carry the tone properly. He wants to force the other to take care of himself properly, but he’s aware that Newton is a fully-grown adult, and as stubborn as a two-year-old to boot.
but like ive only had 1 glass…
but im sad and im rly into him but hes not interested…
fuck tendo i tried to give him flowers and he asked me *why*
and the other day i used the “are u a book cuz im chevking u out” joke nd he stared at me blankly
*checking
i mean its like
“i dont blame you, i wouldn’t love me either”
Hermann stills, because he remembers both of those incidents. He—he’d thought it was a mix-up, or that the biologist was mocking him. Heart racing, he rereads the messages. Oh. Newton, I’m not Tendo. There’s a second, before the pencil icon returns.
fuck
oh god im sorry
ignore that all pls
im so sorry hermann
Wait! Hermann types, but it’s too late. The screen reads sent but remains that way. Hermann’s heart clenches. He wants to get out of bed, race to Newt’s room; demand did you really mean that? but he can barely stand at this point, fatigued as he is.
With a frustrated groan and a sneeze, Hermann settles back under the blankets, miserably hoping he’ll be well enough to try and speak to Newton in the morning. He hopes…oh, damn that. He fervently desires that Newt feels similarly—what was originally simply a crush has grown and mutated in the past decade to something more deeply rooted; the scent of formaldehyde and a quick smile, the intonations that mean fond exasperation and a scratchy call me Newt!
It isn’t love, not in the way it’s classically portrayed, but it’s…something. Something beyond mere friendship, that much is certain.
He drifts off to a restless sleep.
When he blinks awake, the first thought in his mind is ow followed quickly thereafter with Newton! He checks the time. Past nine in the morning. His congestion has cleared up a fair amount, and he no longer feels like falling over when he stands up.
The walk to Newton’s room is a blur; two months post-Slattern (post-almost apocalypse, as Newt would say) the Shatterdome is almost half-empty, and he doesn’t pass anyone in the halls.
The door handle, when he tries it, is locked; he bangs on it, calls, “Newton? Newton!” Despite what most assume, of the two of them, Newt is the only one who can wake up before ten with any amount of regularity, and Hermann doubts he’s asleep.
A few beats pass, and Hermann waits with bated breath, before the locking mechanism clicks and the door swings open to reveal a red-eyed Newton, dressed in a pair of sweatpants and a loose, faded graphic tee. “I’m sorry,” he says, voice hollow. “Can we just—can we pretend I never said that?”
“Absolutely not,” Hermann snaps. “For once in your life, Newt, act like an adult and face things head-on.” It’s a low blow, and they both know it, but Hermann, in the face of adversity, is prone to slipping back into old habits.
“I’m sorry,” Newt repeats. “I thought you were Tendo.”
He tries to slam the door shut, but Hermann insinuates his cane in the way, ducks inside before Newt manages to stop him. “Quit saying that.”
“Well what do you want me to say?”
Hermann’s lips pull back in frustration, teeth bared as he hisses, “The truth!”
“The truth?” Newt laughs, semi-hysterically, throws his head back. “The truth, Doctor Gottlieb, is that I am, for some insane reason, irrevocably attracted to you!” He’s almost shouting at this point, hands clenched into fists.
“As am I!” Hermann spits back, almost a snarl.
It takes a second to register, for both of them, what he’s just said, and Newt gapes at him. “You—what?” he breathes, features slack with surprise.
“Yes!” Hermann snaps. “There, I’ve said it—at least I’m not trying to hide from it!”
“I wasn’t!” Newt shouts back, throwing up his hands. “I kept trying to express interest, and you kept thinking it was just a mistake!”
“Well how was I supposed to know you weren’t mocking me?” Hermann questions hotly.
Newt lets out a bark of laughter. “Mock you? The hell, Hermann? I might be a dick sometimes, but I thought you held me in a higher regard than that!”
Hermann glares at the other, flushed, and sputtering. “…apologies,” he says slowly. “I didn’t intend to imply that I think of you as…morally deficient.” Newt huffs.
“You bastard,” he sighs. “You handsome, annoying, brilliant bastard.” This time it’s Hermann’s turn to sputter incoherently, blushing hotly at the compliments, and fixes his gaze on an interesting sketch on the wall, fingers fidgeting with the head of his cane. Newt’s gaze tracks his movements, and from the corner of his eye, Hermann catches him grinning.
“So,” he says, sidling up to Hermann, “what do you say we order take out for brunch and cuddle on my bed?”
Hermann clears his throat, trying not to blush further as Newt slips his hand into Hermann’s, and finally meets his eyes. “I think that’s an excellent idea, Newton.”

So, I just wrote all this and tumblr glitched which sucks. But I've decided to stop the calorie count on the July Diet Challenge. I need to catch up on the questions and then I'll continue those but the calorie limit keeps conflicting with my schedule. Like, days I can fast are 500 calories and days that I need to eat with family or need the energy are fasting days. So, I'll do my own thing with calories and I'll still answer the questions but it's too much work to try rearrange the entire schedule there.
Anyway, I'm going to start running again tomorrow. Get three days a week in. I also have work now so I get a ton of steps. I need to recharge my fitbit to see how much exactly but it's a lot.
I work today which is great, I think I'm gonna fast though. It's only like 12:10 pm, I start at 1 and had a coffee, with sugar unfortunately instead of splenda, and I'm just not hungry. So, I'll say I started my fast at 11 am and I'll go at least 24 hours. Maybe 18 cuz I wanna eat before my morning run tomorrow.
Anyway, I'll catch up on the questions today and then I'll be answering one a day. I'll probably give my plan for the day too. We'll see how this goes.

I am pretty sure my scale is broken
Okay so it’s about 4:00 pm - ish where I am and I’ve been ultra busy all day today. Around 11 am I broke down and decided I was hungry enough to finally eat something, which were tacos... my absolute weakness ;-; and I was sure that after eating them I was going to gain weight. Well... when I got home I weighed 176. I was 177.2 this morning. So, surprised, I walk away and make myself some coffee. After that I go back to it and weigh myself again to see if maybe the scale just read it wrong?? And the number was lower than before! 175.8!! Not even five minutes apart and I lost??? I’m pretty sure my scale is broken... but I really hope it isn’t and that’s right cuz holy shit that would be cool. Talk about motivation to skip dinner

Nov 13 Dancitron Movie Night - Baby Driver
It was a very good movie that various people found themselves identifying extremely closely with and/or made very uncomfortable by.
Some Grade A Bullshit went down at this movie night. The leaguers went outside to get away from the movie; Prowl followed them outside to apologize for getting them stuck here once a week. Meanwhile, Swoop harassed Tarantulas until Tarantulas literally threw him outside and webbed the door shut. Now there’s a fire-breathing baby who’s attracted to violence stuck outside with two tiny aliens who throw baseball pitches that look like miniature atomic bombs going off. Prowl goes into protective mode. Swoop wanders over to check out the aliens.
Meanwhile, Windchill and Whirl are trying to get the door back open. Soundwave, who’s like, really into the movie, is only just barely becoming aware of what the hell is going on outside. He tries to help open the door. It’s gross. He wipes it off on Tarantulas’s fur, which is fair, because it was Tarantulas’s mess in the first place. They finally manage to get the door back open, around the time that Prowl has turned into a brooding hen crouching defensively over the leaguers.
Soundwave gets on the roof to watch; Windchill tries to lure Swoop back inside with promises of hanging out with Laserbeak; thus causing Swoop to barrel straight into Windchill, who is, in fact, in between Swoop and the door. Prowl picks up the leaguers and fucking bolts in the other direction. Soundwave opens a space bridge full of water and soaks Swoop and Windchill to preemptively put out any Dinobot fires, then bridges their asses back to Swoop’s world, where Swoop proceeds to bite Windchill until he gets bored. All that remains of the battle scene is a soggy spiderweb beard.
And then Soundwave dances.
Yesterday ItsyBitsySpyers 8:02 pm *The usual assortment of minis is scattered around the room, and the twins are definitely excited, but Soundwave? For once, he is as alert as alert can be, 3000% attentive and ready for tonight's show. Feeds pared down to the most vital and everything. He's been told this will be one right up his alley...* Whirl 8:03 pm ((aww heel ye)) Swoop 8:03 pm *zips into the room and darts for energon, he is a hungry bab tonight* Specs 8:04 pm *a dragon trundles in with a set of thin energon cookies! she's looking better, if a bit dusty. her paws are unbandaged now, but they're shaved. fear the hideous raccoon hands of the dragon.* Swoop 8:04 pm *grabs a cube and CHUG CHUG CHUG* FakeProwl 8:05 pm *appears, takes seat, slumps* Swoop 8:07 pm *drops the empty cube and grabs another to chug* Bevel 8:07 pm *trundles in* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:07 pm *Soundwave nods to everyone rolling in, sends Laserbeak to Swoop, and gives the dragon's paws a curious head tilt.* Magnum Ace 8:07 pm -and he's actually still got his glove and ball in hand this time, as he walks in. He forgot the time this time- FakeProwl 8:07 pm *... tired, suspicious look at music video* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:08 pm *Once he tires of looking at them he'll ping Prowl hello and nudge a knee.* FakeProwl 8:08 pm *tired, suspicious look at soundwave* Bull 8:08 pm *Bull Armor followed Magnum in, placing his own mitt in his internal storage* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:08 pm //Yo, Bevel. Hey Ace, Bull.// ItsyBitsySpyers 8:09 pm (txt): ...What? Magnum Ace 8:09 pm Hello. I guess it's movie time again, now. FakeProwl 8:09 pm Are you encouraging a disregard for traffic laws? *both songs since prowl's arrived have been about speeding* Bull 8:09 pm Hello. *Is starting to get use to this 'oddity'* Specs 8:10 pm *the dragon actually glides to a couch close to Soundwave, and holds up her front paws for reference. without the protective fur, it's clearer to see that they've got true fingers- two opposable thumbs, and two fingers.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:10 pm (txt): Negative. Themed music, tonight's film.
*Oh, he's distracted again. Is he allowed to gently touch the paws with a feeler tendril?* Bevel 8:11 pm Hi, Rumble! Specs 8:11 pm *he is! the dragon holds them out, "palms" up, to be investigated* FakeProwl 8:12 pm Is tonight's film encouraging a disregard for traffic laws? Bevel 8:12 pm ((oh prowl ItsyBitsySpyers 8:12 pm //C'mon and get comfy. Gonna have a good time tonight, heh.// Bevel 8:13 pm *will take her usual seat* What are we watching? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:13 pm (txt): ...Not film's main intention.
*But if it does, y'know. He's not taking responsibility.* Swoop 8:13 pm *downs cube number three and then drops it too, squeaking out a chirp when he sees Bird* HI! Magnum Ace 8:13 pm -nods and makes his way to Rumble. Safer up there than on the floor- ItsyBitsySpyers 8:13 pm //Somethin' called Baby Driver. Don't think there's no babies though.// Whirl 8:13 pm *trots in, quietly and casually making his way for his usual table* Bull 8:14 pm *While Bull may not like heights, it was better than the floor* FakeProwl 8:14 pm *suspicious look continues* ... Very well. Specs 8:15 pm *if Soundwave is finished investigating the paws, Whirl is going to find himself in possession of a furry epaulette pretty soon* Bevel 8:15 pm Cybertronian babies driving would be kind of cute. *waves to Whirl as he arrives at the table* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:15 pm {{Swooooop. Swoop gonna like tonight, neheh.}}
*The gentlest of prods to the paws, but yes, he's done now. Organic flesh is so... weird. And fur. Fur is weird too.* //Hey, Whirl!// Enthusiastic waving. //'N you leave Frenzy outta this, Bevel.// Swoop 8:16 pm What tonight? 😮 ItsyBitsySpyers 8:16 pm \\HEY!\\ Bevel 8:16 pm *laughs* Specs 8:16 pm *the dragon isn't exactly normal, to be fair. most dragons aren't furry.* Hello, Whirl! *have a shoulderpad with fur* How have you been? Whirl 8:16 pm *he'll pause long enough to let the dragon settle herself, and then sit* Hey, dragon. *and he'll toss a salute Rumble's way, sitting down* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:16 pm ((EIGHT MINUTE WARNING get your snacks, your bathroom breaks, and i mean it when i say you want headphones)) Swoop 8:17 pm ((that big a difference?)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:17 pm ((there are some things it's easier to notice if you have 'em. example: lead gets an earbud pulled out. sound in that side of your headphones goes out.)) Swoop 8:17 pm ((sweet)) Whirl 8:18 pm Makin' it, more or less. *he's a little on the scruffy side, but otherwise looks more or less intact* You? Specs 8:19 pm *the dragon holds up her naked paws* I'm alive, despite all the odds! It's been a little crazy. Bull 8:20 pm *having settles in their -now- usual spot, Bull Armor takes out a canister of oil to drink; he was glad to have grabbed it from the repair room before heading out* Whirl 8:21 pm Yeah? You tell me your story first, and I'll tell you mine. Share you definition of "crazy" with me. Bevel 8:21 pm I am not sure Frenzy is cute but that is really nice you think he is, Rumble. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:21 pm //You're outta your fraggin' mind.// \\I AIN'T NEITHER!\\ Swoop 8:21 pm *stuffs his face full of goodies like the chipmonk he isn't* Bevel 8:22 pm *giggles* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:22 pm *Laserbeak pokes Swoop's cheek* Whirl 8:22 pm *okay Bevel gets a snicker for that one* Swoop 8:22 pm *giggles uncontrollably* Specs 8:22 pm *the dragon gapes a grin* Blew up the energon molds the night before halloween. I was way too close to them, I burned my paws real badly. Singed my face too, but I trimmed the fur down so that it doesn't look weird anymore. I looked pretty silly on halloween night, let me tell you! Swoop 8:22 pm *slaps both hands over his mouth to keep from losing goodies* *laughs harder* *is going to choke and die* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:23 pm ((OKAY WARNING TIME)) ((Some of you know that I schedule these weeks or months in advance. Most of the time, it works out okay. Tonight, there's an unforeseen problem.))
((Kevin Spacey plays a role in this movie.)) Whirl 8:23 pm I dunno, "freshly exploded upon" is a good look, if you can make it work. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:23 pm ((I have opted to go ahead with showing Baby Driver as originally planned for three reasons: it was finished and released months before the news came to light, the director's work tying the soundtrack into the story deserves to be admired, and spoilers about where Spacey's character ends up. I doubt Spacey will receive future acting roles, but if he does, those projects won't be shown here.))
((If his presence in it is or becomes too uncomfortable for you, please, take care of yourself and skip out for the evening.)) Magnum Ace 8:23 pm -Magnum was following Bull's example, settling down and opening his oil canister as well- I hope no one saw us vanish like that... ItsyBitsySpyers 8:23 pm ((Other warnings: blood, violence, foul language (curses, ableism, sexism, etc), sometimes flashing lights and/or rapid film cuts, the irritating tinnitus sound, depictions of domestic abuse, Hollywood Speed Romance, probably something I can't think of offhand, and a dose of cheese.)) Swoop 8:24 pm ((lets rock and roll)) Specs 8:24 pm Not when you're furry and already had a costume planned, it doesn't! *the dragon grins again* And what about you? ((*headbangs*)) Whirl 8:25 pm ((Thanks for the warnings, my dude!)) What WAS your planned costume, anyway? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:27 pm ((ALL RIGHT Y'ALL I HOPE YOU GOT YOUR VOLUME UP AND YOUR DISTRACTIONS THROWN OUT CUZ HERE WE GO 😄 :D)) Specs 8:27 pm You know those dragons that everyone else thinks are dragons? Green and scaly? That was my costume! Swoop 8:27 pm *reaches over to try to poke Bird's 'cheek'* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:27 pm *Soundwave scoots forward in his seat a little bit and a little bit and a little bit.* *Laserbeak chatters and pinches his finger* Swoop 8:28 pm *more explosive giggles* Whirl 8:29 pm Nice! I dressed up for that thing... once, I think? Missed it this year. Anyway, I was out for a bit. Someone tried to kill me, and I got hit by a spaceship. Magnum Ace 8:29 pm ....? Whirl 8:29 pm BUT, I'm thinking I'm gonna keep the spaceship. So a win-win, really. Specs 8:29 pm If it hit you and no one took it back, it's yours, right? Swoop 8:29 pm *talking through his fingers* this BIRD movie? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:29 pm {{No. It Boss movie.}} Swoop 8:30 pm Bird do tapping music too Whirl 8:30 pm Well, the pilot's DEFINITELY dead. Specs 8:30 pm So it's a free ship, then. Whirl 8:30 pm Yep. Specs 8:30 pm Nice. Did you kill the person who tried to kill you? Magnum Ace 8:31 pm ...looks like Coach's driving Bull 8:31 pm Yeah... Bevel 8:31 pm This looks fun. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:31 pm //Hot damn.// Whirl 8:31 pm Of COURSE. I wanted to save the corpse to feed to Killer, but it was starting to stink after a few days. Swoop 8:31 pm Oh! Him drive like Sideswipe keheheh Magnum Ace 8:31 pm Not...when you're in the car Bull 8:32 pm Top Joy nearly fell out last time. Whirl 8:32 pm *settles back, and turns his appreciative attention towards the screen* Specs 8:32 pm Didn't have anything to preserve it or ferment it? Magnum Ace 8:32 pm I think Silky's group fell off the back Whirl 8:33 pm Nah. I'm on Cybertron, right now. Got back last week, actually. Not much pickling equipment there. Swoop 8:33 pm ((this is SICK holy shit)) Specs 8:33 pm Ah, fair enough. Whirl 8:33 pm Okay now, that getaway was just as much luck as it was skill. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:33 pm *Soundwave is practically buzzing already. Lights bright and all.* Tarantulas 8:33 pm *sneaks in* ...Did I miss much? Whirl 8:34 pm A little fancy driving. Swoop 8:34 pm *perks up at Tara and makes grabby hands, mouth still totally crammed full of goodies* Whirl 8:34 pm But I'm willing to bet there will be a lot more of that. ...Ha. Just in time for these clever opening credits, though. Tarantulas 8:35 pm *dismissive paw wave at swoop, pppplease don't ask him to pick you up* Swoop 8:35 pm UP! FakeProwl 8:36 pm *twenty-seven crimes thus far, and that's just counting what happened inside a car.* Tarantulas 8:36 pm *rubbing his face with a sigh as he maneuvers the room* /No/ Swoop, not this time Swoop 8:37 pm Why "no"?? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:37 pm *Well, he did say it wasn't promoting speed. It... might be promoting a lot of others. At least 27 others.* [[No, there's not.]] Swoop 8:38 pm *bounces and grins at Tara while still working on the waaaaay too big mouthful of goodies he grabbed* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:38 pm //Heh heh. I gotta keep me an extra visor for that.// Bevel 8:38 pm He has more than two pairs. Magnum Ace 8:39 pm ... Specs 8:39 pm How many visors does he have? I counted three. Clich A 8:39 pm (sneaks in not even...knowing what this is.) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:39 pm ((baby driver. getcher headphones)) Clich A 8:39 pm ((headphones got) FakeProwl 8:39 pm ((they do Fancy Stuff with the soundtrack)) Tarantulas 8:40 pm (( cries because comp audio only works on one side Bull 8:41 pm *is watching with interest* Specs 8:41 pm *the dragon is clearly fascinated by the sign language here. she's all eyes* Swoop 8:41 pm Spiderbot! : > ItsyBitsySpyers 8:42 pm *Soundwave pulls his attention away long enough at the word "Spiderbot" to notice Tarantulas. He nods hello and goes back to watching.* Clich A 8:42 pm Aww, I remember that one. Whirl 8:43 pm *merely tilts his head at the sign language, but his expression is, as always, impossible to read* Tarantulas 8:43 pm "Spiderbot" is leaving you on the ground today, dinobot. Swoop 8:44 pm No : < Tarantulas 8:44 pm *is there a spot on the couch, it's gettin taken* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:44 pm *There is room, yep.* Tarantulas 8:44 pm *gud. seat acquired* FakeProwl 8:45 pm *glances at tarantulas. ... tiny nod.* Swoop 8:45 pm Oh. Him record. Kehehhh. Bird right. It Soundwave movie. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:46 pm *It sounds like a good time to him.* Clich A 8:46 pm It very hard to decide on food when you looking at pretty people. Clich A 8:48 pm Wow loving that the subtiles give us the song titles too. Magnum Ace 8:48 pm Wait. So...he doesn't get a choice? Swoop 8:48 pm Spiderbot! Tarantulas 8:49 pm *tiny nod? meet not-so-tiny arm on the back of the couch behind prowl. tara's not getting in the way, but he's scootin in close. aaaand also ignoring swoop* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:49 pm [[No. He's... in debt.]] Whirl 8:49 pm Being coerced by people with more power than him. Happens all the time. *with that, he'll stand up (carefully, so as not to dislodge his epaulette) and head to the bar* Swoop 8:49 pm Up! : > Specs 8:50 pm *the dragon settles into place. she's not going anywhere* Magnum Ace 8:50 pm ...... Bull 8:50 pm Now we know what's up. Magnum Ace 8:50 pm Yeah. That's...a bit unfair Swoop 8:51 pm ((he is literally baby soundwave)) Tarantulas 8:51 pm *smoosh. a spider paw pats swoop down. not up* Swoop 8:51 pm :V : > Uppp Me Swoop want up Clich A 8:52 pm Uh, rude. Bull 8:52 pm Kid is like Jurota. Whirl 8:52 pm Hey, Ravage, any chance I can get something good and strong on tab? Didn't bring anything interesting to trade, but you know I'm good for it. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:52 pm *Soundwave pings Prowl. Did he see. Did he see the human doing the thing.* Magnum Ace 8:52 pm Almost scarily like him Tarantulas 8:53 pm Hasn't Ratchet ever told you you can't always get what you want, Swoop? Swoop 8:53 pm YAH! Lots. Keheheh. Whirl 8:53 pm ((OH MY GOD HAAAHHAHA)) Swoop 8:53 pm ((omfg)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:53 pm =Yes. Usual?= *Lazy tail flick* Specs 8:53 pm ((lmao)) Magnum Ace 8:53 pm ((WOW Whirl 8:54 pm Yeah. I'm more concerned with getting drunk than tasting it, though. FakeProwl 8:54 pm *... doesn't move away from tarantulas, but doesn't move any closer either* Bevel 8:54 pm Oh no. Magnum Ace 8:54 pm ... Swoop 8:54 pm ((holy shit that was badass)) Bull 8:54 pm And everything goes wrong. *though very spectacularly he must admit* Magnum Ace 8:55 pm Or...not? Specs 8:55 pm No plan survives contact with the enemy. *hums contemplatively* Magnum Ace 8:55 pm Ah...that's Clich A 8:56 pm oh geeze Swoop 8:56 pm *glances back at the screen* OH! Dead. Kehehhehh Spiderbot *pats Tara's upper arm* Bull 8:56 pm Oh, no. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:56 pm \\GUESSIN' HE AIN'T SEEN LOTSA DEAD HAPPENIN' BEFORE.\\ Whirl 8:56 pm Not used to being made to do it. Swoop 8:56 pm ((literally soundwave, rewinds song to the CORRECT part of the get away Lololol)) Bull 8:57 pm *breaths a sigh of relief at baby being ok* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:57 pm *Ravage hefts an... odd-looking version of a gaugebuster onto the bar* *Whirl wants drunk? Whirl's gonna get it.* Whirl 8:57 pm *hell yes, Ravage. This is why you're the best bartender* Any requests on what I should bring back for you, mech? Magnum Ace 8:58 pm -settles down again- I think...these movies are not good for after practice. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:58 pm *Ravage eyes Rumble for a moment before looking back up at Whirl.*
=Yourself. Go. Enjoy.= Whirl 8:58 pm Ravage, you're not allowed to eat me until I'm dead. Bevel 8:59 pm He is all out of sorts. Whirl 8:59 pm But, you got it. *he'll take the drink in one claw, salute with the other, and return to his table* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:59 pm *Low rumbly laugh.* =Not eating.= *Nods.* [[He doesn't understand.]] Bull 9:00 pm ... Magnum Ace 9:00 pm ........ Clich A 9:00 pm Wow. Bevel 9:00 pm 😧 Swoop 9:00 pm DEAD ItsyBitsySpyers 9:00 pm [[The Baby human. What this really means.]] Clich A 9:00 pm When he said sunset I thought like...Thelma and Louise.....drive it off a cliff. Swoop 9:01 pm THEM dead tooooo FakeProwl 9:01 pm *glances at the leaguers.* ... Do you need a bridge home early? Clich A 9:01 pm The gloves...are red palmed, because blood on the hands? FakeProwl 9:02 pm *there's no damn reason they can't be bridging them home the minute they get here instead of after movie night is over.* Clich A 9:02 pm Symbolism??? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:02 pm ((omg i hadn't caught that before)) Whirl 9:03 pm My first thought went to Sunset Boulevard, but clearly, I was wrong. Magnum Ace 9:03 pm I'm...uh...Bull? Whirl 9:03 pm Y'know, just leave the car somewhere, maybe try and frame someone else. Bull 9:04 pm *Bull shakes his head* Uh, I think... I'm ok. For now. Magnum Ace 9:05 pm Right. We're...we're good ItsyBitsySpyers 9:05 pm *Amused huff.* Swoop 9:05 pm ((they are so cute)) FakeProwl 9:05 pm *small nod* Magnum Ace 9:06 pm -uncomfortable as hell, but all good. For now- Clich A 9:06 pm I do like me some T.rex Whirl 9:06 pm "Bang A Gong" is a decent one. Bull 9:07 pm *not saying a word; as long as it keeps this current mood he can be alright for a time* Whirl 9:07 pm Can't say I've heard a lot of their other things, though. Clich A 9:07 pm Ballrooms of Mars is a personal favorite. Magnum Ace 9:07 pm -same here- ItsyBitsySpyers 9:08 pm *Pleased finger twitches. The human replays statements too.* Whirl 9:08 pm ((bless them, they're doing their best with those accents. They're not irritating, at least)) FakeProwl 9:09 pm ... *turns to tarantulas, says quietly* We need to fix this. Sooner rather than later. Swoop 9:10 pm Bird ItsyBitsySpyers 9:10 pm {{What what?}} Swoop 9:10 pm What them doing. Hands. Words. Whirl 9:10 pm *snickers, and gets chuggin* Tarantulas 9:10 pm F-fix - what do you mean? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:10 pm {{It hand talking language.}} {{Them motion meaning thing.}} Magnum Ace 9:11 pm Oh! -this is much better- FakeProwl 9:11 pm The portal problem, with the leaguers. Magnum Ace 9:11 pm -less driving that reminds him of Coach's- ItsyBitsySpyers 9:11 pm *Shakes his head gently. There it is.* Bull 9:11 pm Oh no... not him. Magnum Ace 9:11 pm .... Whirl 9:11 pm *to Swoop* We've got something similar. Chirolinguistics. Not a thing, in your dimension? Bevel 9:11 pm Noooooo Magnum Ace 9:12 pm Run. Clich A 9:12 pm ...Hm. Is that a thing? Clich A 9:13 pm Can I eat...catfish dipped in gold? Bull 9:13 pm There is -nothing- good about him. *is bristling* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:13 pm //Skip the fish 'n go for gold.// Specs 9:13 pm *hisses* Eat him. Magnum Ace 9:13 pm -sitting up straighter- He /didn't/ ItsyBitsySpyers 9:13 pm [[He did.]] Tarantulas 9:13 pm Oh. *WHEW that's a relief. way to scare him, prowl* I - yes. I can give you an update on the situation when I get back to my console. FakeProwl 9:14 pm *nod* Magnum Ace 9:14 pm He said he didn't want to Bull 9:14 pm He's not being given a choice. FakeProwl 9:14 pm ... I'm going to stop coming if coming means I keep trapping them here. They don't want to be here. They didn't volunteer for it. Whirl 9:14 pm It's called coercion. Keep up, little guys. Happens all the damn time. Magnum Ace 9:15 pm I /know/ what coercion is Whirl 9:15 pm So, why are you surprised? Clich A 9:15 pm Yeah Whirl don't patronize them, just because they aren't tall as you. Unless you are doing it for regular reasons. Then I guess I understand. Bull 9:15 pm Not really surprised, just uncomfortable. Bevel 9:15 pm It is really not fair. He just wants to stop. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:15 pm *Soundwave's attention finally pulls away again at "I'm going to stop coming". He looks over at Prowl first, then Tarantulas, and then the Leaguers.* Magnum Ace 9:16 pm I'm...not surprised. I'm disappointed Tarantulas 9:16 pm You won't have long to wait, Prowl. I - you did end up giving me the code I need, although there's more to it than just that. Swoop 9:16 pm ((what i miss)) Clich A 9:16 pm ((Coercion. into another job)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:16 pm ((he was forced to go back to work on pain of his new gf and his foster dad being hurt. he's scoping out a new place with the boss's nephew)) Bevel 9:16 pm *this is hitting way too close to home and she is uncomfortable* Swoop 9:17 pm ((cool)) Whirl 9:17 pm Pfft. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:17 pm \\HAH!

Rude.* Whirl 9:18 pm *snickers* Swoop 9:18 pm Keheehee Whirl 9:18 pm What a kid. Swoop 9:18 pm You Bird borrow Swoop hands Specs 9:19 pm *snickers uncertainly* Swoop 9:19 pm Or Me Swoop kill someone and take hands then Bird can hands Magnum Ace 9:19 pm -bristles at that- -That's not a team- ItsyBitsySpyers 9:20 pm //Ix-nay on the akin'-hands-tay.// Clich A 9:20 pm That is right, it is not. He's mean. and Manipulative and just...not ...likeable. Unlike Soundwave. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:21 pm [[Which part of that is he not like?]] *Amused.* Clich A 9:21 pm Unlikeable. Bevel 9:21 pm Soundwave can be nice. FakeProwl 9:21 pm *Small nod to Tarantulas.* I would appreciate it. I'm certain they would too. Clich A 9:22 pm Because this guy, he pretends to be charming and personable but he ISN"T. Soundwave pretends nothing and I like that about him. Swoop 9:22 pm Spiderbot! Spiderbot! ItsyBitsySpyers 9:22 pm [[Flatterers.]] Clich A 9:22 pm Truther. Specs 9:22 pm It's true, though.

ItsyBitsySpyers 9:51 pm ((i love all the little things like pillars passing in time to the music and the steps down the escalator with drum rolls etc)) Whirl 9:51 pm I can't imagine any escalator that would survive your enormous butt. Swoop 9:51 pm ((the detail in the sound design is incredible)) Windchill 9:51 pm It didn't. Whirl 9:51 pm ((I KNOOOW this directing is driven by the music and it's fantastic)) Swoop 9:52 pm ((It started off a little bit music videoy but it is very cinematic now)) Clich A 9:52 pm Who left that chair there. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:52 pm ((even the cart crashing down in a few seconds has a double crash)) Windchill 9:52 pm I broke both sides. On purpose.

Bevel 9:55 pm *likes the car as well but doesn't want to agree with Windchill* Windchill 9:55 pm *WELL TOO BAD.* Whirl 9:55 pm I got hit by it. Windchill 9:56 pm Hmm, maybe that's even better. Whirl 9:56 pm The guy inside is dead--he was trying to kill me. Probably wanted my bounty. But I figure, finders keepers. Windchill 9:56 pm I see you survived, yes. How are you going to change the registration? Whirl 9:56 pm No damn clue. Windchill 9:57 pm Might want to work on that. I mean. FakeProwl 9:57 pm ... We've figured out why you keep ending up here. Windchill 9:57 pm After cleaning up the corpse. Whirl 9:57 pm Oh, it's gone. Magnum Ace 9:57 pm You have? Can it be fixed? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:58 pm ((best unexpected use of this song ever)) Bevel 9:58 pm *shifts uncomfortably and waits for this to backfire horribly* FakeProwl 9:58 pm If not fixed, then prevented.

Whirl 9:59 pm When you gotta go, you gotta go. Specs 10:00 pm ((honestly, that happens a LOT where I live. the cops are jackasses)) Bull 10:00 pm Meckel has been getting suspicious of us being so tired the next day. Windchill 10:00 pm It's probably illegal. Magnum Ace 10:00 pm Windy has already called me out on it FakeProwl 10:00 pm When we made comm contact, somehow the frequency got tangled up in the program I used to show up here. One of my—roommates, uses it to show up to the other movie night you've gone to. Windchill 10:00 pm I disapprove. Whirl 10:00 pm HA! EXCELLENT. Windchill 10:01 pm Not dead yet. Whirl 10:01 pm Let him bleed out. Windchill 10:01 pm Nah, he might recover. Finish him off. See. Whirl 10:01 pm Okay, fair. Still. What did that idiot think was going to happen? Holding his main squeeze hostage? Looking away from his gun? Idiot. Clich A 10:02 pm ....oh Magnum Ace 10:02 pm Oh, I guess that's...good? FakeProwl 10:02 pm I've got someone who can fix it. Hopefully, this week. Windchill 10:02 pm *Nods.* So. FakeProwl 10:02 pm But if he can't fix it, then I'll stop coming. Windchill 10:03 pm Whirl. Magnum Ace 10:03 pm That would be nice. Windchill 10:03 pm I can't believe. You're out murdering without me. Again. Magnum Ace 10:03 pm But...wouldn't we just appear where you are? Whirl 10:03 pm Hey, now, I was minding my own goddamned BUSINESS. Windchill 10:03 pm *Disapproves of siren misuse but not of murder apparently.* Whirl 10:04 pm I didn't start nothing, but APPARENTLY, I've got a very valuable head. FakeProwl 10:04 pm No. It only happens when I turn the program on. Bevel 10:04 pm *laughs a little at the monsters inc. bit* Windchill 10:04 pm Funny, it's so small. Whirl 10:04 pm I know. Small and shaped like a flashlight. Ugliest head you ever saw. Windchill 10:05 pm *His week long vow to not antagonize people doesn't apply to Whirl, apparently.* Magnum Ace 10:05 pm Really? That's...pretty good. Windchill 10:05 pm Nah, I've seen uglier. Whirl 10:05 pm You're objectively wrong, but I appreciate it. Windchill 10:06 pm You're objectively a butthead. Whirl 10:06 pm *LAUGHS* Bull 10:06 pm If you like these movie nights you should keep going. Windchill 10:06 pm Dead. Swoop 10:06 pm ((goddammit this movie is at 11 all the way through, isn't it?)) Bull 10:06 pm They just, hit some sore spots for us. Whirl 10:06 pm (IT IS)) FakeProwl 10:06 pm So. One way or another, you won't be showing up here against your will again. Whirl 10:06 pm ((I figured this movie would be good but I am still impressed)) Magnum Ace 10:07 pm It's okay, we've gotten used to it FakeProwl 10:07 pm It's not okay. Whirl 10:08 pm That's not what that means. It means, "why are you Romeo," you uncultured--*thrusts his empty cup at the screen*--SWINE. HA! Specs 10:08 pm *snickers at Whirl's drama* Windchill 10:08 pm You sure showed them. Swoop 10:09 pm *shrieks* FakeProwl 10:09 pm ... We've suspected the problem for a few weeks now. I'm sorry I kept coming during that time. Swoop 10:09 pm YAAAHHHH Windchill 10:09 pm He had better be dead this time. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:09 pm *Soundwave lurches forward at the shots by the human kid's ears.* Windchill 10:09 pm Huh. Whirl 10:10 pm Kill him! Kill him! Bevel 10:10 pm *flinches* Whirl 10:10 pm Pfft. Swoop 10:10 pm KAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!! DEAD D E A D Specs 10:10 pm Very dead. Whirl 10:10 pm Not as cool as if she'd bashed out his brains with the crowbar. Windchill 10:10 pm Finally, an explosion. Whirl 10:10 pm But still. Windchill 10:10 pm Yeah. Magnum Ace 10:10 pm ...oh Windchill 10:10 pm She got to hit him a little. Swoop 10:11 pm ((*clasps hand over heart* oh no)) Whirl 10:11 pm Woulda been funnier if he got killed by his "bargaining chip," y'know? She was just baby's weak spot this whole thing. Woulda been hilarious to watch someone get brutally murdered by a "weak spot." FakeProwl 10:11 pm Anyway—if you'd like, I can provide a bridge home. There's no reason for you to wait until the rest of us are ready to go. Windchill 10:11 pm *Nods.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:11 pm *At least the human is free, but...* *Oh. Not even that.* Magnum Ace 10:12 pm Well, it's not every day we get to wander around an alien planet Bevel 10:12 pm Is he turning himself in? FakeProwl 10:12 pm No. Just every week. Windchill 10:13 pm Well. I guess that's the right thing to do or whatever. We'll see. Magnum Ace 10:14 pm Well, yeah ItsyBitsySpyers 10:15 pm ((ahh i didn't catch the bunch of people in DOC suits watching a car chase before)) Tarantulas 10:15 pm (( fuckin. seriously. miles Magnum Ace 10:15 pm But I meant now. -gestures to the canyon- Whirl 10:16 pm Not bad.

Some of the best of the good parts in his head for now.* Tarantulas 10:18 pm If I really were a jumping spider, I would have actually smacked you instead of holding myself back just now. Swoop 10:18 pm Keehee ItsyBitsySpyers 10:18 pm //...Hey, I just realized somethin'.// Specs 10:18 pm *the dragon stretches* That was something else. Magnum Ace 10:18 pm -speaking of alien planet, he's curious if it will affect his pitch any- Swoop 10:18 pm *reaches for tara again* Windchill 10:18 pm *Stretches OBSCENELY.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:18 pm //If ain't nobody runnin' the Lost Light no more, we got rights to get in that music room thing, yeah?// Tarantulas 10:19 pm *tara catches swoop's hand and just. holds it. tiny hand lost in giant fuzzy paw* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:19 pm \\...OH FRAG.

(txt): Tarantulas. Windchill 10:46 pm *Eyes the doors, trying to gauge how his claws would fare against the webbing.* FakeProwl 10:46 pm ((do i assume he already threw a pitch then?)) Tarantulas 10:46 pm *groans and collapses in a chair* Magnum Ace 10:46 pm ((more like https://youtu.be/cuJZK5jkrKo?t=17m26s that one FakeProwl 10:46 pm ((you didn't say he threw it, so ???)) Windchill 10:47 pm *And whether the doors themselves would emerge unscathed. Property damage is more fun when you get away with it.* Magnum Ace 10:47 pm ((and yes, he did, probably when Prowl was yelling at him not to FakeProwl 10:47 pm *Scrap SCRAP scrapscrap. That's not a subtle pitch. Panicked look toward Swoop. Please, by some miracle, do not have noticed it.* Swoop 10:47 pm *slides down the door and immediately texts BIrd just an unreal number of sad emojis* Windchill 10:47 pm I'm gonna do it. Tarantulas 10:48 pm *HEAVY SIGH* ...Have at it. Ughh. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:48 pm [[What? Have at what? DO NOT BREAK HIS DOORS.]] Windchill 10:48 pm Don't worry, I got a delicate touch. Bull 10:48 pm *Bull Armor was more than a little surprised at the strength of the pitch in the alien atmosphere, but managed to catch it* FakeProwl 10:49 pm *Prowl has seen bazookas that shoot concentrated sunlight that are less flashy than that pitch* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:49 pm *Startled to his feet. Still hasn't gotten an answer. Prods Tarantulas with a feeler.* Windchill 10:49 pm *He gets up and rolls his shoulders; this is gonna take all of his strength.* Okay you guys. Bull 10:49 pm Woah, that would definitely tear up the field more than usual. Magnum Ace 10:49 pm -Sorry Prowl- Windchill 10:50 pm He's liable to come flying back your way. If we're lucky he'll run into my groin first. No promises. Magnum Ace 10:50 pm ...are you okay, Bull? FakeProwl 10:50 pm ... You—! What'syourname! CATCHER! Tarantulas 10:50 pm *bats sw's feeler away with a "take care of it yourself" huff and the mental image of swoop with a giant X stamped on him* Whirl 10:50 pm All right. Well. I'm heading out, one way or the other. *looks to the twins* Comin with? Or should I meet you later on tonight? Bull 10:50 pm Me? *Bull Armor pointed to himself curiously* Bull Armor Windchill 10:50 pm *Goes to the door. Stares at it.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:50 pm //Comin' with.

Windchill 10:51 pm *Picks idly at the webbing, testing it.* Yeah, give me a few. FakeProwl 10:51 pm Do NOT throw that back. No more. Both of you. Stop it. *he's trying not to shout because shouting might attract Dinobot attention too, but the two of them are very far apart.* Bull 10:51 pm I'm okay Magnum, just wasn't expecting such a difference. Ummm... I wasn't intending to. Magnum Ace 10:51 pm Neither was I... FakeProwl 10:52 pm Good. Bull 10:52 pm *doesn't understand what the problem is* Tarantulas 10:52 pm *there's not too much webbing on the doors, windchill should only need a few seconds to get it off* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:52 pm *Take care of WHAT himself? The webs?*
[[No. No few. Step away from the doors.]] Magnum Ace 10:52 pm That may be a bit too strong... Windchill 10:52 pm *If you want a Swoop to the face then have at it.* FakeProwl 10:52 pm There are dangerous, murderous things out here that are attracted to bright lights, environmental damage, and fun, and you are producing all three. And one of those dangerous things is standing behind me. Whirl 10:52 pm *pauses, looking to the twins* Should I ask to bridge or...? I'm pretty sure I ain't supposed to indoors. Swoop 10:53 pm *notices that life beyond the situation he is immediately in exist and looks over to see what other people are doing outside* FakeProwl 10:53 pm *admittedly, farther behind prowl than prowl is to either of the players, but still technically behind him. he's made his point.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:53 pm *They're huge panes of specialized red glass and if Windchill breaks them he is going to--*

Magnum Ace 10:54 pm Okay, sorry, I won't do that again FakeProwl 10:54 pm *... Dammit.* Windchill 10:54 pm *He SEES you, Whirl.* Bull 10:54 pm *Bull walks back to Magnum to give him the ball* FakeProwl 10:54 pm *Turns around. Please don't let Swoop be coming over here.* Swoop 10:54 pm *hops up off his spot on the floor and comes over there* Magnum Ace 10:54 pm -takes off his mitt again, and hands it to Bull- ItsyBitsySpyers 10:54 pm ((QUICK TIME OUT i am super mixed up now where is everyone specifically)) Swoop 10:54 pm Hi FakeProwl 10:54 pm *DamMIT.* Bull 10:54 pm Hi FakeProwl 10:55 pm ((swoop, prowl, and the leaguers are outside. everyone else is inside i think)) Tarantulas 10:55 pm (( tara's in a chair in dancitron Magnum Ace 10:55 pm -ball inside it- FakeProwl 10:55 pm ((is ravage still with them outside?))

Everyoen else is trapped indoors with Tara lol)) Windchill 10:55 pm (( Way to put it lol. )) FakeProwl 10:55 pm *He's not breathing fire. That's good. But if he makes one false move toward the leaguers...* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:56 pm ((ravage is outside, rumble and frenzy and bird are heading upstairs with whirl. and is windchill still bothering the doors or no?)) Swoop 10:56 pm *crouches down by the leaguers* What doing? Windchill 10:56 pm (( Chill's standing beside the doors. )) Magnum Ace 10:56 pm We were looking at the view? FakeProwl 10:56 pm *Nuh nuh-uh-uh Prowl's not letting Swoop get closer to the leaguers than to himself. Maintain a safe distance.* Swoop 10:57 pm ((there's a cliff out here they are looking at, yeah?)) FakeProwl 10:57 pm ((yeh)) Magnum Ace 10:57 pm ((yup Swoop 10:57 pm YAH! It good cliff. Kehehhh. For JUMP! ItsyBitsySpyers 10:58 pm *If allowed, he'll try to get a feelerful of web to pull it off.*
*And then he'll realize it's horrible and sticky and thready and even worse than Airachnid's. And recoil and try shaking it off of his claws.* Tarantulas 10:58 pm *tarantulas can't help but snicker* Magnum Ace 10:58 pm Ah...if you have wings, I'm sure ItsyBitsySpyers 10:58 pm *Looks like it's Windchill's job after all. He's dealing with a Gross moment.* FakeProwl 10:59 pm *Flatly.* If you're interested, then be my guest. Go jump off a cliff. Magnum Ace 10:59 pm -He's sure even the volleyball leaguers wouldn't go near it- Windchill 10:59 pm So? What's the plan? Swoop 10:59 pm *totally misses Prowl's point* Swoop and Bird fly here LOTS! FakeProwl 11:00 pm *He wouldn't have made it if he thought Swoop would get it.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:00 pm *Scraping the feeler across the floor in the hopes of ridding himself of it.*
[[Just - don't break the glass.]] Bull 11:00 pm Lets not. *Bull Armor moves behind Magnum* Windchill 11:00 pm Okay. FakeProwl 11:01 pm *He's going to try to edge himself more directly between Swoop and the leaguers. Living shield.* Magnum Ace 11:01 pm -just going to...move a bit more in front of Bull- Swoop 11:02 pm *is so used to freaked out people that this doesn't register at all* Kehhehh! Cliffs not so much fun for grounders. Windchill 11:02 pm *He's gonna SQUAT in front of the door and pick at the seam, using his claw to get under the ick where he can peel it back towards himself.* Magnum Ace 11:02 pm Well, the view is nice Windchill 11:02 pm *Gross stringy bits, ew.* Swoop 11:03 pm Throw stuff nice too! Keheh! Windchill 11:03 pm *He's forming an idea.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:03 pm *Primus, it's just sort of getting into the cracks in his claws and in the inside now. He needs something that isn't smooth to clean it on.*
*Tarantulas. Tarantulas is furry. Fur has lots of places to catch things on and he's the one responsible for this in the first place.*
*SWIPE across Tarantulas' chest.* Windchill 11:03 pm *Careful is NOT his specialty.* Tarantulas 11:04 pm *nO SOUNDWAVE* Windchill 11:04 pm *Just. A.

Windchill 11:06 pm *Sticks it to his chin, like...a beard.* Ho, Ho, Ho. Magnum Ace 11:06 pm Oh...-phew. He thought for a moment he was in trouble- Tarantulas 11:07 pm *tarantulas just stares at windchill. and stares and stares* Windchill 11:07 pm *Seems mightily pleased with himself.* Swoop 11:07 pm *digs his talons into the ground, does he want to take off?.... nahh* What balls?

Windchill 11:30 pm *His prized beard has been washed away, the only remaining evidence of his presence.* Swoop 11:30 pm *whelp, he's going to be a whole lot of someone's problem on the other side of that bridge, now that he's hyped up AND wet, but it's not soundwave's problem and that's what matters in the end, finger guns all around* Windchill 11:30 pm *Remember him...as he was...* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:31 pm *A perfect temporary fit for the bizarreness of the boxyverse?* Magnum Ace 11:31 pm -just going to cling tighter to Prowl at that- -what is going on now?- Windchill 11:32 pm *He'll just cry at Whirl over the comms for a bridge once he's done being Detangled from Swoop, probably.* FakeProwl 11:32 pm *... the fighting noises have stopped. slows to a jog and glances back over his shoulder.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:32 pm *And miss out on giant purple griffins and Autobots in Hollywood? For shame, Windchill.* Swoop 11:32 pm ((Swoop is hyped af, knows he is missing out hanging out with Bird, wet, and still tangled up in a stranger. He's going to bite the shit out of Windchill before any escapes are made lol)) Magnum Ace 11:33 pm ...Prowl? Windchill 11:33 pm *BUT MISSING ROCK BAND? WITH HIS FRIEND? PERISH THE THOUGHT* Magnum Ace 11:33 pm What...just happened there? ItsyBitsySpyers 11:34 pm *Good point. Get those bites, get free, and get rocking.* Swoop 11:34 pm *take some lovely new beak imprints back with you, buddy* *tell Bird how much of a pain in the ass he was to fight off* *it's what he'd want* Windchill 11:34 pm *He will cherish those hideous welts.* *Battle scars.* *Even if he's not gonna battle so much as tough it out until Swoop either runs out of biting fury or finds something else to do.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:35 pm *Soundwave temporarily transforms to fly down to the ground, popping back into root mode as soon as he gets to the puddle. Prod prod with foot.* FakeProwl 11:35 pm *slows to a stop.* Your new fire-breathing friend is always one small burst of excitement away from starting a fight with anything he can get his claws on. He had a burst of excitement. Swoop 11:35 pm *just throw him like a Frisbee and run, buddy* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:36 pm [[This is going to rust.]] Put-upon vent. [[He's going back inside.]] Tarantulas 11:36 pm *...........wait. you know what would be smart. sorry prowl, but this spider's bridging the fuck outta dodge before anyone can come back inside* Windchill 11:36 pm *Save his beard while you're at it he might come back for it.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:36 pm *With intent to sit by - now WHERE THE PIT--* Windchill 11:36 pm *He was planning to eat it and muck up his guts just for the shits and giggles.* *YOU RUINED IT.* Windchill 11:37 pm *HE HAD HOPES AND DREAMS.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:37 pm *Location request for Tarantulas.* Magnum Ace 11:37 pm ...oh FakeProwl 11:37 pm And—for the record—seeing someone throwing giant balls of ground-ripping light around would induce a burst of excitement as well. He would probably think you're a fun combat partner. Windchill 11:37 pm *Sorry Swoop, no frisbee today. That would only make it worse, in his opinion.* Magnum Ace 11:38 pm I didn't...oh... Bull 11:38 pm L-lets not let that happen Magnum Ace 11:38 pm No. Let's not. I'd rather not be anyone's compat partner *combat Tarantulas 11:39 pm @SW: ::What, are you my keeper now? I'm back home.:: Windchill 11:39 pm *He's gonna sit there and suffer your bites and WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SERIOUS TALK YOUNG MAN. EVEN IF IT ALL GOES OVER YOUR POINTY HEAD.* Swoop 11:39 pm ((I've been comparing swoop bios lately and consistently, he's got an unreal amount of endurance with speed being the next big thing. Point is, he'd be at it for a whiiiiiiiiile before he got bored. If You wanna play with other people, just bail out. I'm going to doodle and laugh my ass off at this nutty night. I'm good.)) FakeProwl 11:39 pm ... Everyone here is dangerous. Most of us have self-control and some degree of regard for other people's lives. He doesn't. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:39 pm @Tarantulas: (txt): Negative. Confused. Now clear. Enjoy home. FakeProwl 11:40 pm *Starts to trudge back toward the club. Stops.* ... Would you like to be set down? ItsyBitsySpyers 11:40 pm *Well then. It looks like he has the inside of Dancitron to himself.*
*...He has the inside of Dancitron to himself.*
*Time to put on some music.* Windchill 11:40 pm (( I got nothing going on 'cept work tomorrow so IDGAF. )) Tarantulas 11:40 pm @SW: ::And you enjoy your home as well, hyeh.:: Bull 11:40 pm I think we should go home. ((I gotta get flopping off)) Swoop 11:41 pm ((lol k, then you and I can just fastforward to windchill being a very throughout chew toy and swoop getting bored but still gnawing a bit lol)) FakeProwl 11:42 pm I'll get you a bridge. *Sets them down.* And this will be the last time this happens. Magnum Ace 11:42 pm Yeah...home about now sounds good Windchill 11:42 pm (( Fair. Pull up that Spongebob time card. )) Magnum Ace 11:42 pm Thank you ItsyBitsySpyers 11:42 pm *Prowl's probably escorting the Leaguers through a bridge right now, Tarantulas is gone, Swoop and Windchill are away, and the minis are elsewhere. So.*
*He's doing as the robot humans are singing.* Tarantulas 11:42 pm (( i caNT BELIEVE TARANTULAS IS MISSING THIS ItsyBitsySpyers 11:43 pm *Nothing fancy. Just a little something to satisfy the part of him that wanted to be more involved with the night's movie.* Windchill 11:43 pm (( YOU DONE GOOFED. )) Swoop 11:43 pm ((I look forward to Swoop getting IMMEDIATELY thrown out of Dancitron this time next week when he tackles Tara the second he comes in the door)) Windchill 11:43 pm (( Beautiful. )) Tarantulas 11:43 pm (( tara might just get bridged out too. rip Bull 11:43 pm ((Night)) Swoop 11:44 pm *chews, but not very enthusiastically, on windchill's forearm* Windchill 11:44 pm (( o7 )) Swoop 11:44 pm Boring Magnum Ace 11:44 pm ((so, if we want the leaguers there next week, how do we go about that?)) FakeProwl 11:44 pm *Bridge for the leaguers.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:44 pm ((ask soundwave, he'll bridge them)) FakeProwl 11:44 pm ((now they've gotta WANT to come)) Windchill 11:44 pm *Stares at the sky in what's technically an alien world, resigned to his fate.* Boring? Swoop 11:45 pm You boring Windchill 11:45 pm Thanks. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:45 pm *Sliding steps across the floor, graceful spins, biolights as bright as you please now that he's free to indulge.* Windchill 11:45 pm I appreciate it. I always did want to be a little more boring. Swoop 11:45 pm Keh Magnum Ace 11:45 pm -And back home the leaguers go- ((that's good! Swoop 11:45 pm Me Swoop want to play with Bird now. Magnum Ace 11:46 pm ((and g'night! Thanks for the chaos Windchill 11:46 pm You Swoop make us late to Rock Band. Swoop 11:46 pm Nuh uh Windchill 11:46 pm Yes. Swoop 11:46 pm No Windchill 11:46 pm Pretty sure. Swoop 11:47 pm Keheh Noooo Me Swoop not *gestures vaguely around himself* do stuff bridge Him Soundwave do Windchill 11:47 pm *Gasps.* Him SOUNDWAVE make us late to Rock Band! Swoop 11:47 pm YAH *believes this completelY* Windchill 11:49 pm *Is he mimicking Swoop's speech on purpose or is it getting to him? We may never know.* Swoop 11:49 pm *will never think hard enough to wonder this* Windchill 11:49 pm I dunno, we kinda deserved it. Swoop 11:49 pm noo ItsyBitsySpyers 11:50 pm *He's never noticed that Laserbeak does a form of it. Windchill will get away with it.* Swoop 11:50 pm Me Swoop not want to water Windchill 11:50 pm That's what happens when you break the rules and scare people. And bite them. Swoop 11:50 pm *blows raspberries* Windchill 11:51 pm *BLOWS HARDER.* Swoop 11:51 pm Rules for breaking kehhh *MORE RASPBERRRIES* Windchill 11:51 pm Then you'll keep being late. Swoop 11:51 pm Dinobots show up WHENever Us Want Windchill 11:51 pm *Has a free hand to blow gross flatulent raspberries into. Juicy.* You want to miss Bird playing Rock Band? Swoop 11:52 pm Nooo Windchill 11:52 pm Then you have to play by the rules. Swoop 11:53 pm Me Swoop never KILL anyone at movie night 😛 ((yet)) ((give him time)) ItsyBitsySpyers 11:53 pm *Definitely getting into a flow of sorts now that nobody's here. Are there really humans like the one in the film? That one was so much like him...* Swoop 11:53 pm Him Soundwave get maaad at Me Swoop no reason BAH kick out Windchill 11:53 pm *Invents.* Swoop 11:54 pm Whatever Me Swoop can play anywhere : > Windchill 11:54 pm *Your density is testing his patience.* We broke the rules so we got kicked out. Tarantulas 11:54 pm *wahhhh. tarantulas didn't say bye to prowl. now he feels bad. a ping for prowl. then!!* Swoop 11:55 pm *buddy if you don't like dense this is the WRONG team to interact wtih* FakeProwl 11:55 pm *pings back* Windchill 11:55 pm *Technically Swoop broke the rules with the biting but they're in this together now.* Swoop 11:55 pm Nuh uh No No rules Tarantulas 11:55 pm @Prowl: ::How are things there, are - is everything calmer now?:: Swoop 11:56 pm Me Swoop can kill anyone OUTSIDE. It not movie rules EVERYWHERE. Windchill 11:56 pm We were practically on Soundwave's porch, you putz! Swoop 11:56 pm *as far as he's concerned he could be lining people up execution style in the parking lot and that's got nothing to do with nobody* Porch That Jazz alt mode Windchill 11:57 pm *Amazing.* FakeProwl 11:57 pm @Tarantulas «Swoop and Windchill, by all appearances, melted into a puddle outside Dancitron. So, yes, it's calmer outside. I can't tell you what it's like inside.» @Tarantulas «I don't see fire, though.» Windchill 11:57 pm I don't know what you're talking about now. Swoop 11:57 pm Him a porch Windchill 11:57 pm *WHEEZE.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:58 pm *He doesn't have damaged audio receptors, of course, but there is a lot of "noise" to drown out. Sometimes more than he's in the mood to hear, and if Ravage's not around to help... there's always the old ways.* *Like this.* Windchill 11:58 pm I don't know any Jazz that turns into a porch. I'll take your word for it. Swoop 11:58 pm Keheh Yesterday Tarantulas 11:59 pm @Prowl: ::Ah, good, I - hmm. I might actually come back, I had to duck out. Just a moment.:: Windchill 12:00 am (( Dammit I just realized we missed our chance to make a Wicked Witch reference with that one. )) Tarantulas 12:00 am *bridges right outside dancitron where he expects prowl is* Windchill 12:01 am You want to go see Bird now? Swoop 12:01 am *cocks his head* Soundwave mad. FakeProwl 12:02 am *He's a little off—Prowl had to run off to the side a bit—but he waves tiredly.* Windchill 12:02 am *Someone fetch his beard dammit.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:02 am *Mm, where's the other one, with the more... with the other tone to it. He might as well. It's been much longer than necessary for the Leaguers to go home, and he doesn't hear any commotion through the doors. So on he goes.* Tarantulas 12:03 am *tarantulas almost steps on the so-called beard, so he picks it up and subspaces it. sw doesn't need any more samples of his webbing lying around* Windchill 12:03 am We were going to the Lost Light, not Soundwave's. Tarantulas 12:03 am *holds out a paw for prowl* Come, let's go inside, hm? Swoop 12:04 am What Lost Light? Windchill 12:04 am Some dingy old boat. Swoop 12:04 am No more water for Swoop! Kah! Windchill 12:05 am Boat, as in spaceship. FakeProwl 12:05 am *for a second, just, stares at it. but then takes it.* Windchill 12:06 am Whirl used to live there. You think Whirl would live in a place with water? Swoop 12:06 am *shrugs, he has no idea* Windchill 12:06 am Fool! Swoop 12:06 am ?? Windchill 12:06 am Never mind that. FakeProwl 12:07 am *Right. Back into Dancitron.* Swoop 12:07 am Kay Windchill 12:07 am I'm going to cry at Whirl until he takes pity on me and gets me a bridge over. FakeProwl 12:07 am *... Stops in the doorway. Oh. Hi there.* Swoop 12:07 am Me Swoop want to play with Bird Windchill 12:07 am You can come hang with us and Bird if you want, you were invited. Swoop 12:07 am Yah Windchill 12:08 am Okay. Tarantulas 12:08 am *couldn't see at first but stops behind prowl and just - heh. he'll stand and watch as long as prowl does* FakeProwl 12:08 am *Prowl is paralyzed, they're going to be here a while.* Windchill 12:08 am But no fire and no biting. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:08 am *Deeper into the mood, feelers out to accompany him with little writhing, swirling motions.* Swoop 12:08 am Why? Windchill 12:09 am Because we're going to be inside and if you break something with fire and biting then we can't play. And you'll probably get bridged out...again. Tarantulas 12:10 am *bad news: tarantulas's ability to stand still doesn't last long. good news: he's going to start swaying a little himself and see if he can wrap an arm around prowl from behind. daaaance.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:11 am *And on this turn, looks toward the door, getting the strange sense that he's being watched. Probably one of the minicons from the complexes out back; they've been in a lot lately with compROWL AND TARANTULAS* Swoop 12:11 am That okay. Me Swoop get bridge A LOT kehehhh Windchill 12:11 am Lame. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:11 am *Freezes like a noodle in the headlights.* Windchill 12:12 am (( And that's when Soundwave's soul ascended to heaven. Expired. )) I don't like bridges. FakeProwl 12:12 am ... Hello. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:12 am ((dancitron's floor opened to swallow him whole and he was never seen again)) Tarantulas 12:12 am *trying not to giggle* You don't have to stop on our account, you know. Windchill 12:12 am (( The mech, the myth, the legend. )) Swoop 12:12 am Bridges fun. It SURPRISE kehheh. Surprise flying or surprise eat dirt kahah Windchill 12:13 am NO they make me SICK. *vomiting sounds for effect.* FakeProwl 12:13 am *He has the very very smallest partial smile.* Swoop 12:13 am *snickers* You practice more, kahah, like ME SWOOP ItsyBitsySpyers 12:14 am *one of the feelers is still lightly going to the music. he curls it behind his back. the other one twitches in some sense of... something. he's not sure what he should feel about this.*
(txt): ...Return: unexpected.
*Well, obviously. Way to go.* Windchill 12:14 am I probably have more practice than you! *Well, depends on how often Swoop gets kicked out of places, maybe.* Maybe I'm just WEAK. Swoop 12:14 am Yah, probably. Windchill 12:14 am Stronger than YOU. Swoop 12:14 am No Windchill 12:15 am Yes. FakeProwl 12:15 am ... Surprise. Swoop 12:15 am Nuh uh Dinobots STRONGEST at EVERYTHING Tarantulas 12:15 am *pfft. definitely a laugh there* Windchill 12:15 am Then how did I catch you? Swoop 12:15 am With legs Windchill 12:16 am Even my legs are stronger than you, ha! ItsyBitsySpyers 12:16 am *He sees the arm wrapped. That's a good excuse.*
(txt): Take turn if wanted. Soundwave leaves space.
*Steps off the floor and toward his couch.* Swoop 12:16 am nooOooOOoOoooOO *bouces* Windchill 12:16 am Yup. I win this round, punk. Swoop 12:16 am Punk? 😄 Windchill 12:16 am That's what you are, FakeProwl 12:16 am No no, you can keep going if you want. Swoop 12:17 am *sets both hands on his crest* Mohawk kehh Tarantulas 12:17 am You really should. There's plenty of room for more than just one. Windchill 12:17 am *Tries really hard to not think about who else has a mohawk.* Exactly. Oh well. Tarantulas 12:18 am *can he casually make it over to soundwave in time to snag a feeler and keep him from sitting just yet?* Windchill 12:18 am I guess you'll just have to get even stronger if you want to beat me next time. FakeProwl 12:18 am *If Tarantulas is heading over to Soundwave then Prowl will quietly extricate himself.* Swoop 12:18 am *raspberries* You get Her BIrd or Me Swoop leaving. You boring. Windchill 12:19 am *Sputters.* Tarantulas 12:19 am *tarantulas has a LOT of arms, prowl, you're not getting out of this one* Windchill 12:19 am We have to go TO Bird. Swoop 12:19 am Ok Windchill 12:19 am I'll call Whirl. If I burst into hysterics and sound like I'm dying or crying, that's normal. Swoop 12:20 am Baaaabby ItsyBitsySpyers 12:20 am *He can make it in time. Soundwave's not moving that fast. He really doesn't want to stop, and Prowl said he could keep going, and a little spidery encouragement didn't hurt either. It's hard not to take two sets of permission from mechs he trusts more than the average moviegoer.* Windchill 12:20 am Maybe, but I get what I want. *Sticks his tongue out.* FakeProwl 12:20 am *If Tarantulas is going to try to drag Prowl along despite Prowl's obvious attempts to get out of his hold, then Prowl will ghost himself out.* Swoop 12:21 am Hurry hurry Tarantulas 12:21 am *he's not going to drag him, but he's not going to be happy leaving him behind, either* FakeProwl 12:21 am *Also: he's disturbed that continuing to hold Prowl when Prowl is trying to get free is becoming a more frequent problem.* Windchill 12:21 am Be patient, Whirl's drunk and it slows him down a little. (( Can't do much more from here but we can say they, eventually, made it to Support their Bird Friends playing Robot Rock Band. )) Swoop 12:22 am ((sounds good)) Tarantulas 12:23 am *hhh. tarantulas lets go with his one arm on prowl to take soundwave's feeler in another. sounds like the strategy here is to bring the noodle over instead of the other way around* Swoop 12:23 am ((I gotta say. I was hoping for a shitshow when Swoop went after Tara but this exceeded my expectations.)) ItsyBitsySpyers 12:23 am ((an excellent night)) Tarantulas 12:23 am (( fantabulous Swoop 12:23 am ((if this doesn't get him a dancitron punch card, by god, I don't know what will)) ((arson)) Windchill 12:23 am (( A disaster. )) FakeProwl 12:24 am *... Are the two of them going to dance? He's gonna, just, grab a seat with a good view.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:25 am *The noodle slowly follows back, feeler waving again. He glances at Prowl and pings for one last confirmation. This isn't going to leave the room?* FakeProwl 12:25 am *... What does the ping mean. Does the ping have content or is it just a ping.* Tarantulas 12:25 am (( for the record tarantulas WILL be reading up on child psychology before next week. damn you swoop Swoop 12:26 am ((excellent)) ItsyBitsySpyers 12:26 am *It has the question in it in awkward text mode.* Windchill 12:26 am (( Prime resource with experience with actual babies = Windchill McButtface. )) (( McBeardface, my mistake. )) Tarantulas 12:27 am (( he's buttface without the beard tho. so currently the first iteration Swoop 12:27 am ((Windchill actually did good. My littlest brother is 14 years younger than me and I had good results with doing what he did - explicitly stating that we are going to x, so we can y, and you are going to z.)) Windchill 12:27 am (( Hairybuttface then. )) FakeProwl 12:27 am *in that case, sends affirmative ping* Windchill 12:27 am (( Swoop is simply too powerful for such methods. )) Swoop 12:28 am ((He's too ... actively trained to murder adults. It throws things off a bit when he knows that authority figures BLEED.)) Tarantulas 12:29 am *good, tarantulas is glad soundwave's not resisting or overly embarrassed - he lets that be felt if soundwave feels for it* Windchill 12:29 am (( BLEEEED. )) (( Windchill's going to have a lot of explaining to do when he gets home. )) Swoop 12:30 am
((I've been tryign to draw swoop sleeping. I've gone through like 6 poses during this chat. Those wings are a pain in the ass.)) Windchill 12:30 am (( How dare him Swoop look so smug. )) Swoop 12:30 am ((that's just what his face looks like and also how he feels)) Windchill 12:31 am (( Robots resting are some of the hardest things IMO. )) Swoop 12:31 am ((v true)) ((and on that note imma go to sleep. Night!)) Tarantulas 12:31 am (( niiiiight ItsyBitsySpyers 12:31 am ((night!)) Windchill 12:31 am (( Night! )) (( I'm out too, need some decaf coffee and to contemplate my life's choices. )) ItsyBitsySpyers 12:32 am ((night to you too!)) Tarantulas 12:32 am (( thanks 4 takin the baby, chillmom (( night! Swoop 12:32 am ((btw tara should definately read up on extinction bursts lol)) Windchill 12:32 am (( HE TRIED. )) Swoop 12:32 am ((applicable to swoop for more than just the hilarious dinosaur reason)) ItsyBitsySpyers 12:33 am *So be it. Tarantulas is welcome to join him, then, and carry on as long as they both wish. Soundwave will only be half there, though. He's thinking of drives and aerial battles long past, and what it felt like to get free of the Pit owner, and...* Tarantulas 12:36 am *perfectly fine - tarantulas's mind is elsewhere too, though still in the room, so to speak. it's no mistake when he catches prowl's optic from time to time* This message has been removed. *fluid steps over in prowl's direction after a moment, though* You're sure you won't join us? Just standing, even. FakeProwl 12:38 am I'm sure. The view's better from here. *And what a view it is.* Tarantulas 12:41 am *soundwave definitely has a better handle on the baby-driver-esque timing of his dancing, but tara's not bad, per se. with a nod and a nuzzle he's off with the music again* FakeProwl 12:42 am *leans forward to return the nuzzle, then sits back to watch.* Tarantulas 12:43 am *part of him - a really strong part - wants to literally try the fishing rod/hook dance move with some silk and pull prowl onto the floor, but he knows better than to attempt that* FakeProwl 12:44 am *smart move* Tarantulas 12:49 am *it takes a while, but tarantulas can't ever escape the pull back to prowl. if only the music were a tad more fitting for a lapdance, hmm... but no, tarantulas just sits next to him on the arm of prowl's chair, still slightly moving with the beat* FakeProwl 12:50 am *gonna, watch sideways for a moment.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:50 am *Every once in a while, he leaves his thoughts long enough to notice this about Tarantulas and spend a few seconds focusing on pulling him into the steps. It seems the spider has unexpected talents.*
*Like convincing him to stay in a state of mind where he's free to think about things in peace. Things concerning organics he hasn't wondered about since discovering Eurythma. Things about communication. Things that have been bothering him for the last few days. Things he wants more than anything and hasn't gotten yet. Which he can change.* *Once Tarantulas moves toward Prowl, he moves off in his own direction, firmly planting himself in his own head.* FakeProwl 12:52 am *... But after a bit, decides to speak up.* So. You can fix the problem with my holomatter program by next week? Tarantulas 12:55 am *a slight huff - business, yes. tara's sprawling a bit* Sooner than that, most likely. FakeProwl 12:56 am Good. I can't go out until that's fixed. Tarantulas 12:58 am *absentminded petting.* We can't have that, no. FakeProwl 12:59 am ... As long as you're adjusting the code... Tarantulas 12:59 am Separating out the coding should only be a matter of hours, I'll - hmm? *those ellipses have his attention* FakeProwl 1:01 am Regarding the—recreational mods we discussed. Tarantulas 1:01 am *OH. now prowl's REALLY got his attention* FakeProwl 1:01 am I suppose they would do me little good if my holomatter program hasn't been patched to properly process tactile input, wouldn't they? Tarantulas 1:03 am No, no, that wouldn't do at all. *visor smirk, though -* How awful IS your input? Do I even want to know? I suppose if you give me the specs I'll find out, but still. FakeProwl 1:04 am The program for handling tactile input should be somewhere in what I sent you. I can assure you it's pretty much useless for interfacing. Tarantulas 1:05 am But - we /did/ interface, the three of us, and you were in avatar then - did you not get anything from it? *seems actually concerned* *u better not have faked on him, prowl* FakeProwl 1:06 am I simultaneously masturbated to keep up. Tarantulas 1:06 am *visor glow. hff.* I see. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:06 am *Soundwave misses a step.* *And keeps going.* FakeProwl 1:07 am Rest assured, I got plenty from it. Just not from the— *he saw that, Soundwave. Slight smirk.* —from the actual physical sensation. Which is fine for a lot of interfacing, but not when you're specifically introducing me to a new physical experience. Tarantulas 1:09 am That's a downright shame. I can't believe we haven't fixed this earlier - but, I suppose late is better than never. I'm MORE than happy to accommodate, facilitate, enhance - whatever you like. *more petting and touching, but now it's a little firmer - tarantulas is wondering honestly how much prowl can't actually feel* FakeProwl 1:11 am *Leans slightly into the touches. If this tells you anything, he's reacting to the touches for the first time this conversation AFTER it gets firmer.* FakeProwl 1:13 am Just give me the option to have it work like a normal body's tactile system. *Pause.* ... Perhaps add in the option to make it more sensitive, as desired. In a... localized, selective way. Tarantulas 1:13 am *aw dang, well here's some good lapdance music. is this the right time tho* Most certainly. Can't have you getting overwhelmed before things even get started, but there's always room for tweaking... FakeProwl 1:16 am My thoughts precisely. I doubt I'll use the option to turn up the sensitivity very often, but it does no harm to have it on hand. Tarantulas 1:21 am *a nod and a nip - no, more of a bite now.* Consider it done, Prowl. Tarantulas 1:22 am *a sigh, and tarantulas looks over at soundwave, then back at prowl.* ...I - actually, is there anything else? I probably ought to be on my way. FakeProwl 1:22 am *Oh so very coolly and calmly.* I look forward to testing out the results of your work. Tarantulas 1:23 am So do I, rest assured. *purr* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:23 am *He freezes again, pausing the music to look at Tarantulas and try to shift his thoughts to what he wants. Does he want anything that requires Tarantulas' assistance tonight? Mm... no, he's pretty sure he doesn't. And work is work, and he mustn't keep Tarantulas from that. So he shakes his head.* Tarantulas 1:25 am *with their permission, tarantulas lingers for goodbyes and a few more touches, but he'll be on his way* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:25 am *And visor-glyph goodbyes and a brush he'll get as he goes.* FakeProwl 1:26 am Evening, Tarantulas. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:29 am *And now Soundwave is drifting off the end of his thoughts. With Tarantulas gone, there's only one person left to keep him moving. While he values Prowl's input so very, very much, it's always easier to let himself be so free if there's either a crowd or a somewhat trustworthy mech available to be a distraction of sorts.*
*Which means it's his turn to dance quietly and gently towards Prowl, until he's able to stop and touch their foreheads together.* FakeProwl 1:31 am *leans into the touch* Hello. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:38 am *Rough nuzzle.* [][][]Hello.[][][]
(txt): ...Apology given. Bonecrusher's punishment: harmful beyond intended level. Prowl, surroundings, unwanted-required companions/trust: damaged. If desired, compensatory requests: heard, obeyed within reason. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:40 am (txt): Regardless, personal decision: avoid similar future activity, discover alternative.
*Pulls away to nod.* FakeProwl 1:41 am ... Mm. Come to me when you have a problem with one of them. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:42 am *And another nod. If that is the suggested alternative, he will comply.* FakeProwl 1:45 am And if you could keep yourself off monitor duty, that would be appreciated. Obviously, he has no way of knowing which of you is watching; but if I can tell him I've talked you into ensuring that it will be anyone BUT you, it may help. FakeProwl 1:46 am ... He's upset he didn't get to show Buzzsaw his finished art project, but there's little that can be done about that now. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:50 am *It hurts a little giving up the one way he can reliably see Prowl without needing the avatar, but he'd been contemplating asking if Prowl wanted him to stop watching anyway. And if it'll help lower the paranoia and tension and let Prowl get some rest...*
(txt): Done.
(txt): ...Demonstration still desired? Buzzsaw: available soon. If needed, during meeting, Soundwave: absent. FakeProwl 1:51 am He wanted to show it off at Blurr's... *dismissive hand wave* Costume event. So. It's too late for that. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:57 am (txt): Understood.
*There's... he's not sure what else to say to that. He already gave an apology, so there's no need to repeat it, and evidently he can't fix that by sending Buzzsaw to personally check it out. Or any other way. So he'll just. Take it as another sign of the things he's ruined.*
(txt): Notify Bonecrusher all camera control permissions: moved before morning. Highest guards. Not Soundwave, deployers.
(txt): ...Request: Contain advantage taken. This, not doormat evidence. Position preservation required. FakeProwl 1:58 am *A pause. And then, to make sure he understood that:* ... Not Soundwave /or/ deployers? ItsyBitsySpyers 2:00 am (txt): Affirmative.
*Fidget.*
(txt): Secondary request, higher importance: Prowl remains safe - inform if greater good math: adjusted, delay relevant activity. This, promised? FakeProwl 2:04 am *Soundwave and his deployers aren't going to be watching them anymore. At all. Prowl finally gets to go back to being watched by safe, distant, apathetic strangers. It's like a spotlight that's been exposing him for months has suddenly burned out.* *For a moment, Prowl's avatar goes very still, to ensure that none of his deep relief is visible in his face or posture.* Promised. To both of those. Although, for the record, the Constructicons already have me on a suicide watch—an unnecessary one. *And if Soundwave has been wondering why the Constructicons suddenly took to hanging out with Prowl in his room, but only one at a time, there's that mystery solved.* *... Prowl thinks he's still on suicide watch, anyway. It's been a bit slack this last week, what with Bonecrusher's state taking precedence.* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:07 am *He did and it does. Though he's not sure he really trusts them to be good at it. Or to care enough to do anything other than go to the rest of themselves and say "he did it, let's get a replacement before we crack".* *Soundwave nods, then. And tries to tell himself to trust those promises. Prowl's not supposed to lie to him. It'll be okay if he lets the cameras go. It's for the best that he does.*
*Lean for another quiet bunt, though he's not sure he'll get one right now. If he doesn't, he'll just stand up and look just above Prowl's helm instead.*
(txt): ...Cube tests performed, passed. Better time ahead, perhaps.
(txt): Rest. FakeProwl 2:11 am *Not only does he get a bunt, Prowl leans further into it if Soundwave tries to pull back.* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:12 am *Surprising, but enough to help temporarily soothe the immediate crack over losing the cameras.* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:13 am *(And he wasted his last bits of time with them watching Bonecrusher, of all mechs. Stupid.)* FakeProwl 2:17 am Perhaps. Hopefully. ... And in a few days I should also have an avatar upgrade that will assist with a "better time." *What should have been a flirty hint came out lifelessly. That's something he's supposed to be eager about, isn't it? He can't feel it. Not after talking about Bonecrusher's breakdown and surveillance restrictions and suicide watch.* *Maybe by the time they have a chance to actually do something, he'll be able to feel it.* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:22 am *That was more lacking than usual. He's pretty sure he can guess why. He's also pretty sure it'll be a bit before there's any enthusiasm behind it again. That's okay. Prowl waited on him. He'll wait for Prowl.*
(txt): Acknowledged.
(txt): Soundwave: tired. Work, satisfying movie, frantic activity, extended dance, many thoughts. Recharge required.
(txt): Until next meeting. FakeProwl 2:22 am ... I should see the rest of the movie sometime. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:23 am *Nods. Yes. Yes, Prowl should. It was... it was a thing, and if Soundwave gets started on it, they'll never sleep.* FakeProwl 2:24 am Not tonight, obviously. *Leans in a bit more for a nuzzle.* Until next meeting. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:24 am *Gives one, rough but affectionate.* FakeProwl 2:27 am *A final, farewell ping; and he disappears.*

The last rounds
Good – honestly, I have no idea. Good afternoon or evening by the time I post this, I guess?
As I've mentioned, yesterday was rather self indulgent (as if that’s not default for this trip but ssh). In the morning, I went to Tower Records in Shibuya to try and score a ticket for the museum I mentioned. Turns out same day tickets wouldn’t go on sale until 1 pm, so I was left to wander the streets of Shibuya until it was time. Almost nothing was open! I thus first went to the Wolf shrine again since shrines are always open as a general. I really like it, but it’s also really small so I couldn’t exactly spend my 3 hours here, haha. I went to Starbucks next since they were open at least, had my last matcha frappuccino and got chatted to by an older man who apparently goes around seeking foreigners to hand them tiny origami flowers and ask them to write in his book. I happily obliged – he kept giving me origami arts, so now I have two tulips, a rose, and a pair of lucky sandals, haha. With that and my prayer at the shrine, surely my trip should go well? (Speaking of, my plane took off as I was typing this. I’m in the middle row in the middle so I can’t see anything out any window at all, which does make the whole thing less scary. It also helps not being near an edge I guess, hm. Not sure if itc outweighs the inconveniences but we'll just have to wait and see.)
Anyway, some stores opened around 11 and 12, so I did some browsing until a little before 1. Back at Tower Records, there was already a queue, but I secured a ticket and asked for 8 pm. I now had time to go back and forth to Ikebukuro, which I did for late lunch with pancakes, last minute souvenir shopping and karaoke, haha. I had a snack as pre-dinner before I made my way back to Shibuya for the museum. I got a different audio guide this time, so that was fun! (If you're one of the people who'd like a full report, you know where to find me, haha.)
I ended up at McDonald’s for my last dinner, shame on me, but I wasn’t hungry enough for something fancy. I was back pretty late in ikebukuro and still had to pack the final things, which was a bit challenging, but nothing some good old “sit on the suitcase and zip it up before it can realise it won’t fit” couldn’t solve.
Might as well cover today too! My alarm was at 5, so I didn’t get quite enough sleep, but not too little to turn me into a zombie. I packed my toothbrush and some other last things before closing the door behind me one last time. (I actually got choked up, let’s blame it on the lack of sleep.)
I made my way to the station, where I most certainly wasn’t the only one waiting for one of the first Yamanote-lines that day. Always busy. I made it to Nippori just fine, easily changed to the Skyliner, and finally arrived at narita airport without a hitch.
Things went very quickly after that; because I was so early, I only had to wait like 10 minutes tops to check in my luggage (21.2 kilos, phew. Let’s not mention how I am lugging back about 10 kilos more than I arrived with, shall we.) Passport control wasn’t even open yet, but it was 5 minutes later, so those checks were very quickly over with too. I reached my gate with almost 3 hours to spare, and I couldn’t even do some tax free shipping to spend my last yen as the stores had yet to open, oops. So I spent that time starting up this entry, did some shop browsing once they opened, had a last matcha latte, and then it was suddenly boarding time already, whoa.
By now, I'm 3 hours into my flight. We just had “dinner – no wait, lunch”, the hostess was also confused with the time zones haha. I just finished watching Hidden Figures (great movie I really liked it!) And I think I might watch a show now before trying to catch some sleep, cuz today is a looooong day, haha. So far my anxiety is very low – I wonder if the seating makes that much of a difference indeed, or if it’s also because I'm so tired… oh well, if we do have turbulence, I have an owl plush to squeeze with me, haha.
See you again from dutch soil!

02/11/2019
Royal (3:07 PM) I’m home now, and I can’t tell if it’s just anxiety or if it’s mixed with guilt when it comes to the idea of talking to Nurd
He hasn’t made an approach yet, but I get super anxious over the idea of him doing so
Hummingbird (3:07 PM) probably mostly anxiety
Royal (3:07 PM) I don’t know if he knows I’m home
So I made a realization (which is somewhat adding the the anxiety) that whilst I like horror, I’m not really fond of nihilistic horror
Well, nihilistic is what I’m using for lack of better words
They’re watching this movie downstairs called Mom and Dad and it’s essentially about this 24hr mass hysteria where parents are turning on their children to murder them
And I guess it’s just made me feel really depressed and anxious to watch and think about, cuz I’m just thinking how those parents are gonna snap back to reality with such unbridled guilt and how fucking disturbing that situation is, the fear of your own parent killing you
It sorta also sends this huge message of what burdens children are on their parents and how they practically ruin the adults lives (from what I was gathering), and I’m sure it’ll end with the MC being like “no matter how much hardships I’ve been through cuz my kids, I’d never regret them” or something like that, but I’m almost catching the aforementioned as the message still...
Like yeah, I know there’s no perfect family, but I’d like to think that there are some parents out there that don’t regret their decisions to parent and that at the end of the day, most parents don’t truly feel burdened by their children
That things aren’t just meaningless: have a family, work yourself to death for family, family is terrible and ungrateful to you, you’re ultimately unhappy and everything was meaningless - what was the point?
I know I’m over analyzing and getting anxious over nothing, but I guess I really don’t like nihilistic horror
It’s one of the reasons I know I can’t watch Black Mirror
Hummingbird (3:23 PM) yeah, i dont think I could watch that either
Royal (3:24 PM) I’ve seen a snippet of one episode that didn’t seem too nihilistic, but the one episode I watched and the beginning of another just made me so...depressed and even uncomfortable
I’m surprised that my mom and Bear (while holding my niece) are able to sit and watch a movie about parents brutally murdering their children
Kitty (3:26 PM) I’d be uneasy walking in on my parents watching something like that the day after coming out to them...
Royal (3:27 PM) I’m sure Bunny put it on
Kitty (3:27 PM) Like, I'd ask to sleep at a friends' house...
-It’s not the actual concept of parents brutally murdering their child that bothers me, it’s the message behind it that bothers me
Though, yes, parents brutally murdering their children is still disturbing
Especially this review
Tumblr media
Like, wtf
Unless your child is literally a psychopath (almost any other antisocial/personality disorder is more than likely your fault as a parent) you shouldn’t hate your child
like, I don't care how much of a brat your kid is, they're only a brat cuz you raised them to be (that and other genetic dispositions)-
Royal (3:27 PM)
But yeah, I’m also anxious cuz I don’t want to face Nurd anymore and I feel sucky for feeling that way
I know shouldn’t feel so anxious about it
Royal (9:47 PM) I know I should go eat dinner, but I guess I wasn't feeling up to it
I am, however, starting to feel hungry, so it's kinda like "shiiit"
I don't wanna face people right now, especially Nurd (though, I believe he's in his room)
Jewel (9:49 PM) Any way you can just go grab something quick to eat without drawing much attention?
Royal (9:49 PM) but what they made for dinner doesn't sound appetizing
Royal (9:59 PM) so I made a bad joke that Chiaki has to canonically kill Ryuu
what am I supposed to do? Make them stay happily ever after together? The person Ryuu is based off of never like yandere's anyway…
Royal (10:15 PM) plot twist: Ryuu was secretly a yandere too, so when Chiaki tried to breakup with him, he didn't take the news well so she ended up killing him to keep him off her back
Jewel (10:35 PM) Ryuu
I had completely forgotten you had named that character Ryuu
Royal (10:23 PM) Well then
Tumblr media
Hummingbird (10:24 PM) Is that a trans positive article or a transphoic one?
Royal (10:27 PM) I haven't read it
she was so nervous about upsetting me, she fucking came in my room to apologize
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/07/when-a-child-says-shes-trans/561749/
Hummingbird (10:32 PM) Yeah.. It's not trans positive. It's a "teens struggle with identity and could by wrong"
Royal (10:32 PM) Yup
I’m reading it now...
She’s like 14, she was impulsive in starting transition...they better not fucking compare me to her
Also, she saw herself as binary trans
Hummingbird (10:35 PM) Also, you thought about it for half a decade
Royal (10:36 PM) And she also sounded like all her info came from the internet
Exactly why I pointed out the “impulse” thing
Plus, I feel happier
Unlike Claire, the more I identified and expressed, the better my mood was
Hummingbird (10:36 PM) The feeling happier is a good sign your brain needed T
Royal (10:37 PM) Well, even before the T, I’d feel good about expressing my gender
Hummingbird (10:37 PM) Yeah expressing it really helps
Royal (10:40 PM) I’m personally not a big advocate on letting your child start too many physical/medical transition underage (I might make exceptions for HRT in the teen years), but I am all for letting them explore their identity and expressing it in healthy ways
Hummingbird (10:41 PM) I think blockers but not hormones is a good route to test the waters and push back puberty.
Royal (11:24 PM) The article was mainly about detransitioning and the regrets many youth have over being misdiagnosed and jumping into transitioning :upside_down:
Whilst Bunny is the one who immediately tried using the proper pronouns and name, she’s also the one who was like “you should have seen a specialist first” and was like “but your non-binary and none of you’re NB role models are going through transition”
Royal (10:40 PM) Well then...Hummingbird and I just read through the article, it’s not actually “trans positive,” It's a "teens struggle with identity and could by wrong"
In fact, she realizes she’s wrong by the end of the article
She’s also 14 and impulsive to start transition
Jewel (10:42 PM) Oh
Royal (10:42 PM) How is this helping???
Jewel (10:43 PM) I think maybe she didn't realize
Royal (10:43 PM) I haven’t said anything about it yet, cuz I didn’t read the article until just now
But why would you send an article in hopes of helping if you didn’t realize??? It’s clear as day as to what the article is saying, even when I began reading it, I had a feeling where it was going
So either she didn’t read it or she doesn’t get that it’s actually harmful to my situation in invalidating me
The girl in the article is also binary, so it’s not like she had a moment where she was like “I’m not a boy, but I’m not a girl either” she just went “whoops, I’m not a boy, I’m just not a stereotypical girl”
Jewel (10:46 PM) At the end of the day, you're not even a teenager anymore and it's been long enough for you to know more
Royal (10:46 PM) Oh yeah, literally the girl was 14
And was begging her parents for the operations and whatnot (HRT and top surgery)
Also, I had half a decade to think on this and my ma even acknowledged that
Jewel (10:47 PM) People can draw different conclusions about themselves
Maybe the girl in the article did realize it wasn't a good fit for her
People are different
And it's no bearing on your situation
Royal (10:47 PM) But why would she send this to her so shortly after I came out?
With the claim of “trying to help”
Jewel (10:48 PM) Yeah, I wasn't saying this in her defense
But how it's not relevant to you at all
Royal (10:49 PM) Everyone that’s mentioned in this article is like under 18 (maybe even under 16)
Jewel (10:50 PM) Yeah, I mean, they literally say when children say they're trans
Royal (10:50 PM) I at first thought it meant children as in the person you birthed
Like, to help parents understand their children
Their offspring
Jewel (10:51 PM) Yeah, makes sense
Royal (10:51 PM) But it literally means people under 18
This article is all over the place
Jewel (10:52 PM) At this point, you're making your own decisions everywhere else
So knowing your own identity should very well be something you're capable of
Royal (10:53 PM) You can’t start with “this girl tried to transition only to realize she wasn’t trans” to “here are struggles trans people go through”
Like...these are separate things on the same topic, they don’t belong in the same article. They get their own separate entries...
Jewel (10:54 PM) Damn
What the fruit
I looked it up
Royal (10:54 PM) It also specifically is like “children and teens” do they see me as such
Jewel (10:54 PM) They wrote a part 2
Royal (10:55 PM) I don’t think I have the patience to read the second (next day complains about the second article because they did indeed read it)
Jewel (10:56 PM) Hehe
"So about that second article....."
"Knew ya would."
Also I started reading and knew right away too where they were going with Claire
The way they framed it
It's so obvious
Royal (10:57 PM) Holy shit, they have another “unhappy transition” story in the same article
This time with Max
Jewel (10:58 PM) Claire's story is the kind of story my mom would pick and show me...
Royal (10:59 PM) You know right off the bat when they use their assigned pronouns that either this means it wasn’t really a transgender person or the person writing the article is being bigoted
But nope, they weren’t really trans
Jewel (10:59 PM) Ignoring the fact that Claire had other issues and wanted to fit in to her peer group
Royal (11:00 PM) “Today, Max identifies as a woman. She believes that she misinterpreted her sexual orientation, as well as the effects of the misogyny and trauma she had experienced as a young person, as being about gender identity. Because of the hormone therapy, she still has facial hair and is frequently mistaken for male as a result, but she has learned to live with this: “My sense of self isn’t entirely dependent on how other people see me.””
Jewel (11:01 PM) “Effects of misogyny and trauma"
Oh sure, go ahead, give cis people fuel, why dontcha...
Royal (11:01 PM) “Max is one of what appears to be a growing number of people who believe they were failed by the therapists and physicians they went to for help with their gender dysphoria.”
Cuz this article is truly about how often this is all misdiagnosed
This is your mom’s happy fuel
Jewel (11:02 PM) Like, to be fair, that's an important issue to research
But it shouldn't invalidate actual gender dysphoria
Royal (11:03 PM) Like, I feel like they only had the section on actual struggles so they didn’t come of as bigoted
Jewel (11:03 PM) Overdiagnosing is a major issue in general in the American healthcare system but so is underdiagnosing/ignoring mental health issues
Royal (11:03 PM) And yeah, it’s an important issue, just like the misdiagnosing of mental health and over prescribing of antidepressants
Yup
““I’m a real-live 22-year-old woman with a scarred chest and a broken voice and a 5 o’clock shadow because I couldn’t face the idea of growing up to be a woman,” said Cari Stella, a detransitioner.”
I also never plan on chest surgery, don’t know if they realized that
Jewel (11:05 PM) I have actually been fairly sheltered from misogyny so none of that would apply to me
Not like my mom has seen this article but I can't help but always prepare arguments just in case
Royal (11:05 PM) An whilst Bunny is the one who immediately tried using the proper pronouns and name, she’s also the one who was like “you should have seen a specialist first” and was like “but your non-binary and none of you’re NB role models are going through transition”
Jewel (11:06 PM) Imma be honest, that sounds like how my mom keeps insisting I'm NB and hence should stay in this body
Royal (11:06 PM) But when I explain to her that I had been seeing my psych because they were LGBT+ specialized, Bear was like “yeah, they said that’s what they did already, or at least that’s what I understood”
Jewel (11:07 PM) Wait, huh?
Royal (11:07 PM) So it’s funny how everyone caught things differently
Bear validated the fact that I saw a specialist
As in a psychological one
Bunny even tried to make reference to the fact that no one on my Instagram post about my gender icons/goals were transitioning
Jewel (11:09 PM) >.>
Royal (11:09 PM)
Tumblr media
1. Only 2 of these people are non-binary 2. One is cis and a professional cross dresser 3. One is cis but trying to be gender nonconforming 4. One is a trans male in a time before medical transition
The cis male is there because it’s a goal to look that good in a dress while still looking male
Jewel (11:12 PM) And it's no rule that your own decisions should match those you look up to
Royal (11:12 PM) Yeah
Ruby Rose is also an actress, so I’m sure she’d have to take that into consideration if she wanted to start HRT and how that would affect her career and the roles she couldn’t play anymore
She plays cis women still
Jewel (11:15 PM) Unrelated sorta but that picture reminded me how gorgeous Ruby Rose is
Royal (11:15 PM) Alright, I said 2 were NB, but Chris Fleming hasn’t necessarily confirmed he’s NB, he’s just pretty much makes himself out to be by answering in a complex way what his gender is
He’s at least nonconforming, but the way he describes his gender is hilarious and sounds non-binary
Jewel (11:17 PM) Ultimately gender is complex and everyone does things a bit differently
Royal (11:17 PM) Either way, I’m not trying to mimic anyone
I’m trying to be me
Most NB who transition (and even a lot of binary) want top surgery and often don’t get bottom surgery
Even Kitty and Lapis want to keep their bottoms, and some transmen I know do too
I’m not copying anyone, in fact, my desires are unique to most
Jewel (11:19 PM) I think I first realized I wanted bottom surgery before I even thought of top
Royal (11:19 PM) Same (though I think we both remember this talk as it happened around the same time)
We were pretty in sync about our realizations
I always knew I didn’t want top surgery, though it does sound appealing sometimes, I wouldn’t get rid of my breasts
Jewel (11:21 PM) True, but I also meant like way back when I was 13 and didn't even know bottom surgery was a thing, I kept imagining getting a dick surgery'd on
I didn't have boobage back then anyway
Royal (11:21 PM) I always had thoughts of having a dick too
I’ve had boobs since 3rd grade
Jewel (11:23 PM) Around when we had that talk, I had been having this unexplained desire that if I went topless I would have the chest of a man's
Also, it was around then that I saw a trans dude's trans journey video for the first time
I had only seen girls' before
Nurd (11:05 PM) When you are ready, please talk to me.
Royal (11:26 PM) …I’m a terrible person
He was knocking on my door maybe 10 min before this, but I hadn’t responded since it’s not unusual for me to go to bed around that time
He just sounds so sad...
Jewel (11:29 PM) :/. It's better to wait till you're ready, I think.
Royal (11:29 PM) I’m causing him such pain, why can’t he just hate me?
I know I act like a narcissist, but fuck, like, I’m not actually supposed to be someone you should have a hard time letting go of
And I’ve expressed my fear that this isn’t an isolated incident, that I’m actually just some shallow person who can so easily become detached to those in my life like this
Jewel (11:34 PM) I understand that fear
Honestly though, a lot is happening for you right now and it's gotta be hard handling it all
So it's best to at least try to take it one step at a time
Royal (11:40 PM) I don’t think he can comprehend that
I think in his mind: “fam said they support you, what’s the problem? Let’s talk about our problem now since that came first”
Like, he doesn’t get it
Jewel (11:41 PM) Yeah he definitely seems to think your coming out and the whole process is "done"
Royal (11:41 PM) Also, what he’s going through seems to be very common amongst AMAB, especially cis males (or early in transition trans/NB)
But literally Hummingbird, Kitty, and Lapis have gone through this from his POV
Hummingbird has the most relatable since her experience was with her first partner and she actually did marry her at a young age and was with her for a good amount of years
The whole bargaining and offering to change, having a hard time letting go
Him offering to change in hopes of making me stay ended up having the opposite affect, as it just made me wanna escape even more
