A Tiny Star is Born - Mr. Puzzles x Tiny!Reader
Alrighty, finally done with this one! It isn't super long- I mean longer than I expected, but here y'all go, G/T time with Mr. Puzzles! You get a lot more special privileges than anyone else, even members of his crew lmao- he'd just slap them away instead of doing what he's doing with you-
Only trigger warning for this one is that the reader nearly has a panic attack!
---------------------------------------------------------------
You were sitting there on the couch, you had needed a self care day today as many things have been stressing you out as of recently, and so here you are, with your favorite drinks, snacks, and a weighted blanket to help keep you comfortable, you had seen your favorite streaming service Puzzlevision has uploaded a new episode, you had always loved that streaming service.
--------------------------------------------------------------
It had a lot of good content, in fact, you were probably the number one fan as not many others watched it for whatever reason and even those who did, didn’t give it high regard, you would also always give the episodes five star ratings.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
It was like a comfort series for you, but either way, you sat there for most of the night, binging some of the previous episodes while eating your snacks, it was cozy and comfortable, and you could feel yourself beginning to relax as you focused on the TV, you could feel your stress melting away already, watching the silly antics going on, you smiled and giggled occasionally.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You really needed this, this self care day …er, well night was exactly what you needed, as you watched a few episodes, at episode three, you could’ve sworn you seen something on the screen flicker.
------------------------------------------------------------
But at first you ignored it, thinking maybe it was just a weird glitch in the program, about halfway into that episode, you could’ve sworn you saw a glimpse of someone standing in the background that you KNEW hadn’t been there before as you’ve watched these episodes already, you shuddered a little, maybe your television was just messing up, or maybe some programming malfunction, it was so brief and so fast whenever it happened and then for the next few episodes, it was normal, you relaxed a bit more now, figuring it was just some glitches.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You tried not to worry too much about it and continued watching the episodes until you were finally on the new one, excited, you sit up a bit more, still keeping yourself wrapped up in the weighted blanket, you cut the volume up and became fully focused, like you usually had when a new episode dropped.
----------------------------------------------------------
And well, it was pretty long, about thirty minutes or more, this episode involved a circus of sorts with all sorts of interesting colorful characters, they were going on wacky wild adventures which entertained you pretty well.
-----------------------------------------------------------
You finished some of your snacks and the drink you had and for now you sat there and watched, thoroughly enjoying this episode, technically it had been out for a few days now as you hadn’t had time to sit down until you pretty much forced yourself, the episode was pretty sad with the end though, with one character disappearing into nothingness, which broke your heart a little, but even then, you enjoyed this episode a lot!
------------------------------------------------------------------
You had looked at the ratings of it and frowned, it had even lower ratings than the last one from what the overall public says, it had 3.2 which made you sigh, you didn’t understand why others didn’t like this but oh well, it didn’t matter, what mattered was you liked it.
------------------------------------------------------------------
You rated it five stars, and as you did, after you rated it and backed out of the website, it came right back up, you tried to close it, it did it again, you raised a brow, what was… Going on with the technology tonight?! You sighed in frustration as at some point your phone shut itself off and you sat it down on the table, and that’s when you noticed, the lights around your house were flickering and when you looked back at your television, you jumped slightly…
---------------------------------------------------------
Okay, you DEFINITELY saw a face for a split second there, you saw that one message you’ve seen when they were doing maintenance on the network, it said ‘PUZZLEVISION, PLEASE STAND BY’ and had the logo in the middle, you blinked in confusion but shrugged, maybe there was some kind of power surge going on, and then you yelped and jumped as some of the lights seemed to blow in the house.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And you were nearly left in pitch black darkness except for the light of the television screen, you hear it beginning to static, the static growing progressively louder with each passing moment, and then those color bars appeared along with a beep that honestly made your ears ring.
-----------------------------------------------
You were completely confused and beginning to grow frightened, this wasn’t… Normal… This wasn’t just a glitch… And then your suspicions were confirmed, as suddenly a face popped up on the television screen, a colorbar shaped into a smile, white eyes, two funky shaped eyebrows, and well you screamed in horror which made the face change into one of shock before you heard a voice speak...
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Ah…! There you are! I’ve been waiting for you to log back on to Puzzlevision’s streaming service! C’mere” And then before you knew it, you heard a squelching sound and then saw a huge hand reaching for you from the TV.
---------------------------------------------------------
You naturally panicked and freaked out, immediately dropping the weighted blanket and trying to run, you had managed to get to the front door and you had gotten it open before you screamed as you were grabbed by the massive hand, it was a gentle grasp but you were completely engulfed and then before you knew it, you felt yourself being pulled back and into the television.
--------------------------------------------------------------
You screamed and struggled, trying to fight off whatever the hell has grabbed a hold of you, you heard something that sounded like someone snapping their fingers and then you heard your front door close and lock.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
And then suddenly, you heard a bubbling sound and then… It was completely silent, you were encased in the giant hand, it was completely dark, and you were breathing heavily, and panicking, trying to squirm free, and then you heard a bunch of television static, and then suddenly, you felt the hand uncurling from you but gripping around your waist to ensure you didn’t go anywhere.
------------------------------------------------------------
You gasped and immediately looked around frantically, you saw some sort of weird television themed dimension, it was weird, and hard to focus fully on, but you could see TV sets floating around this strange space looking dimension.
-------------------------------------------------------
You were shaking and breathing heavily and about to have a panic attack but then you heard a voice “Hey, hey! My dear…! Relax, just look at me, all eyes on me~!” The voice cheerfully spoke, and then you slowly looked to where you heard that voice and your eyes went wide, you looked up, and saw a… Giant television in front of you, it was that same face you had seen on your own TV set just a few moments ago.
----------------------------------------------------------
You could see the television was gray, had some dials and buttons, clearly an old model of television, he wore a black bowler hat, and had two antennas atop it, one shaped like a lightning bolt, he was also dressed very fancy in mostly gray, black, and white.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Your mouth fell agape in shock, your panic somewhat dying down as you realized just who you were staring at, as it finally struck you…
----------------------------------------------------------
And well, the TV humanoid’s screen changed to show a more smug face “Ah, you recognize my handsome face now, my dear little star?” You were shocked as your struggles died down to some degree even though you were still nervous “...Y-You… You’re… M-M-M-M…” And then the TV headed humanoid’s face flickered to some annoyance by you being too shocked to speak clearly before his screen showed that smug look again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Yes, yes, that’s right… The common denominator…! The most handsomest, and amazing host of ALL your favorite shows… MR. PUZZLES!” His face flickered to a grin that honestly looked a little unsettling.
---------------------------------------------------------------
You were completely surprised by this, not only were you meeting the man behind Puzzlevision itself but also the man responsible for creating your favorite television shows and movies, you were meeting an… Idol essentially, but the thing that was the most shocking was just how huge this dude was, he was LITERALLY a giant, in fact he had to be 90 to a 100ft tall, he was holding you a gloved palm like you were weightless.
---------------------------------------------------------------
It was… Scary… He brought you closer to the screen “My my, absolutely flabbergasted by my presence are we? I know, I know~ I’m quite wonderful, but, aside from that…! I want you to relax, I am not here to harm you or anything vile like that!”
--------------------------------------------------------------
“No no, in fact, YOU my dear… You are the one who's been rating my shows with a PERFECT five stars, have you not?” And before you could speak, he chuckled, his face flickering to a happy smile “Of course you are! Well, I’m here to personally thank you! I do… Apologize for frightening you so, I er…” And then his face shifted to an annoyed and potentially embarrassed look.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“...I’ll be honest, I do sometimes forget just how horrifying it could be to see a giant hand emerging from your television screen and then… Snatching you up, my intentions really were NOT to frighten you! In fact, I have a proposal of sorts for you in mind!”
-------------------------------------------------------------------
And then you were about to ask but once again, Mr. Puzzles spoke, he seemed to have realized something “Oh, where are my manners though, I’ve told you my name, which you obviously knew, but I’m afraid I don’t know your name, so what is it my little star?” You took a moment, squinting your eyes as you expected to be interrupted but Mr. Puzzles gestures for you to go on, his face going back to that smug look and so you spoke, still a bit shaky from the whole ordeal as you rested on Mr. Puzzles’ palm.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“M-My name is… (Y/N)” And this made him snicker a bit “Ah, I see, this is a reader insert fanfiction where you can enter your own name…” You blinked a few times “. . .What?” And then he shook his head, his face going back to a smile.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Oh never you mind that, my little star! Just talking to myself… Anyways! It’s truly a pleasure to meet you, (Y/N), you’re QUITE a big fan of my show, and I must say I am honored by that…” And then Mr. Puzzles snapped his fingers and the television sets around all changed to the website, to show your ratings specifically, showing all those five stars you’ve given.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“You’ve given me five stars on every episode so far, and even though the overall audience would… Disagree” His face flickered to show annoyance before flickering back “Your opinions of my show have NOT gone unnoticed!”
--------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Puzzles then leans in closer to get a better look at your tiny form, he seems to be pondering something, he seems to get a good idea but he doesn’t say much, waiting for you to speak now.
----------------------------------------------------
You take a moment to recompose yourself, you take some deep breaths and then finally you speak “I- Um… Well, I’m… Glad I could at least help, with my ratings but… …What does that… Have to do with anything? Why did you take me? And also, you… H-How are you so gigantic?”
--------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Puzzles pauses for a moment before chuckling “Well now, aren’t we full of questions, naturally so, either way, I’ll answer the simple one first, how I’m so gigantic, it’s simple really, I can grow my body or shrink it to whatever size I please” . . . That… Really didn’t make sense to you but then you looked around at the weird dimension you were in and looked at the being responsible for your favorite shows.
----------------------------------------------------------
…Eh, maybe some things didn’t need to be questioned too much… And then Mr. Puzzles’ screen flickered, showing that wide colorbar grin that unsettled you a little, he leaned even closer, his huge screen nearly touching you, the light from it was… Bright and warm, it was… Somewhat comforting “You wanna know why I chose you…? It’s very simple, my little star… Seeing how you're such a big fan of mine and how many times you’ve watched all those episodes”
--------------------------------------------------------
And just like that, the television sets around you flickered to show you, to show you on your couch or in other areas watching those shows and okay that was… Creepy.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“I figured I would make you a little proposition… So, (Y/N)... How would you like to star… In your very own show?!” Mr. Puzzles spoke excitedly, he saw your surprise, and waited for a response, you thought about it, but were a bit unsure “...I-I don’t know… I-” And then Mr. Puzzles cut you off, a smug look on his face “Think about it…! You could be a star, aligned to my vision of course, we could create something PERFECT here!”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And then you took a few moments to think about it further, and well… It’s not like you had anything better to do, you just hoped it wouldn’t stress you out too much, on the positive side, you’d get to be working with the creator of Puzzlevision himself “...Y’know what …Sure…”
--------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Puzzles’ had a grin on his face, but it wasn’t that unsettling one, he seemed completely delighted “Fantastic! Then… A Tiny Star is Born!” And then he chuckled, muttering something under his breath “…Also funnily enough the title to this story…” Before you could question it, he held you carefully in his gloved hands and spun around happily with you.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“My dear, you and I will create something wonderful together! Come, come, let’s get started!” You smiled a little, while he could be a bit… Eccentric and honestly a little unsettling looking at times, Mr. Puzzles seemed genuinely nice enough.
---------------------------------------------------------------
And then you heard him snap his fingers and suddenly, the setting around you changed, it looked like a dressing room of sorts, Mr. Puzzles finally sets you down in the chair, giving your head a little pat with his finger “Now darling~! It’s time to tell you what you’re going to be doing” And then he snapped his fingers again and suddenly, a script appeared in your lap.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“This is going to be a tale of action… Adventure! Comedy! …Maybe some tragedy… And who knows, maybe even… Romance~!” And he winked when he said that which made you blush a little before you opened the script and began to read it.
---------------------------------------------------------
Judging from what the script says, it’s about you getting imprisoned in a cage of sorts by an evil giant, and you have to escape from there, and then your adventure will unfold once free.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Puzzles then smiled, clasping his hands together as he looked down at your tiny form, he bent down “Just read over your script and rehearse for as long as you need to, mkay? After all, you can’t just rush perfection~ And when you’re done, some of my assistants will help you with your costume! Good luck, my little star!” And then with a snap of his fingers, Mr. Puzzles disappeared...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Leaving you alone to catch your breath and take a bit to fully process what was happening, you had essentially been kidnapped by not only a giant TV headed humanoid, but also the man who just happens to be the one behind Puzzlevision itself and he had just essentially hired you as an actor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
And yet here you were, sitting in the chair, looking at yourself in the mirror, which, you noticed while the room was giant sized, a lot of the objects were perfectly sized for you, everything seemed to have been customized to fit your size, you weren’t complaining though, at least Mr. Puzzles was considerate enough …Either way, you looked down at the script and sighed, smiling a little, this couldn’t be all bad, after all.
----------------------------------------------------------
You had met your idol and you were going to be working with him! This gave you determination, excitement, and so you began to read through the entire script, reading the idea, fixating on it much like you did with those shows, you would also rehearse your lines over and over again until they were memorized.
----------------------------------------------------------------
During this time because well, nobody could just memorize all that in a day, Mr. Puzzles would pop in and check up on your progress and offer you some supporting words, and also obviously giving you something to eat and drink as well as even offering you breaks from time to time, during these breaks, you two would actually get to know more about each other, Mr. Puzzles would let you sit in his palm, you’d talk about yourself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
And he’d talk about himself …A LOT, although, you noticed despite his egotistical nature that he seemed to genuinely listen to you, in fact, you noticed with any other crew, he’d listen to you more so instead of constantly interrupting and talking over.
-----------------------------------------------------
What seemed to stun everyone the most is the fact that Mr. Puzzles listened to YOUR ideas and actually liked them or implemented them into the show they were planning, because according to the crew, he NEVER listened to anyone aside from himself, he’d barely even listen to his own audience, you took notice that you got… Some special privileges, and then finally, after a while of rehearsing, some tweaking of the script, costume design, and all that.
---------------------------------------------------------------
It was time… Mr. Puzzles appeared, hands clasped together and a smug look on his face “Alright, my dear little star! It’s time for your big debut! It’s time for you to shine!” You smiled and nodded, all dressed up as the man picked you up, holding you gently in his gloved palms, his face flickered back to a smile.
----------------------------------------------------------
You knew how badly Mr. Puzzles wanted to hit a full five star rating on his show, and you knew he could be… VERY much a perfectionist but he seemed to lighten up with you around “Yeah, maybe you’ll get the five stars this time, I uh, I’ll definitely do my best to help you, Mr. Puzzles” And the TV headed humanoid paused momentarily before smiling with his head tilted to the side.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He pats your head affectionately “D’aww… Aren’t you sweet? You’ll do fantastic! After all, a face like yours was made for television, if I do say so myself~” And you blushed a bit at that and then… It was time…
-----------------------------------------------------
Mr. Puzzles heard a crew announce that and then he sets you down gently, he ushers you along with some big fingers “Now go on my dear! You can do this, you’ll look fantastic!” Mr. Puzzles praises which gives you some confidence and you nod, and then you were heading out there, it was… A bit nerve wracking, you were worried deep down of failing, disappointing or worse, upsetting Mr. Puzzles as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------
You had seen how the man could be, sure his anger nor disappointment had NEVER been directed at you so far but seeing that one face… Those realistic eyes and lips, it was… Horrifying to say the least.
-----------------------------------------------------------
You just tried to do your best, once the cameras were rolling, you played your part, an innocent tiny human who had been captured by a giant, taken to a castle, and shoved into a cage, well, you supposed he was handsome to you as Mr. Puzzles tended to star in his own shows a lot, you acted out your part, the other gigantic being acting out theirs, you had no idea where they even came from but you didn’t question it.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Then came the scene of the giant about to grab you from your cage before, they had fallen over as if knocked out, and well, sure enough, here comes Mr. Puzzles, playing the hero, a hand extends to you, which you had been told to act fearful of at first to the script.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
…It was… Hard to truly be fearful when you trusted him as much as you did, and then Mr. Puzzles spoke, his voice dramatic …Well, more dramatic than usual “No no, my dear…! Don’t be frightened, I am here to save you from this monstrous creature…! Climb onto my hand, and I shall free you from your gruesome fate…!” You acted hesitantly like you had rehearsed, acting hesitantly as you walked over to the massive palm splayed out in front of you.
------------------------------------------------------------
And then you slowly climbed onto it and you were lifted up to see the face …Well, the screen of your savior, you saw the smug smile on his screen and well, you genuinely blushed, you couldn’t help it, and you had even seen some blush on his screen as well, it wasn’t… A part of the script but it added to the scene.
-----------------------------------------------------------
And then, Mr. Puzzles was about to take you away from there before the giant began to wake up, and then a battle ensued, Mr. Puzzles had set you down, standing in front of you protectively, it took you every fiber of your being not to roll your eyes at how dramatic he was when speaking “Don’t worry my dear! I’ll keep you safe! You have nothing to fear!” Mr. Puzzles and the giant fought.
-----------------------------------------------------
A clash of titans if you would… You of course went and hid behind one of the containers on the shelf as that’s what was scripted, the fight lasted for about twenty minutes or so before Mr. Puzzles came out on top, he stood over the fallen giant victoriously.
--------------------------------------------------
And then Mr. Puzzles walked back over to you, breathing heavily for the effect, he then extended a huge palm down to the table “Come now, my dear, let me get you out of here” And then you stepped out, and began walking toward the palm, looking up at him, you climbed onto it and then he began to walk out of the castle, walking and taking one last look back on the fallen giant, after walking out, that ended the scene.
--------------------------------------------------------------
And another version of him sitting in a chair yelled “CUT!” You honestly didn’t know how he could do what he did, but then again, magic was already a pretty nonsensical thing, you had stopped questioning things upon first meeting him to be honest.
----------------------------------------------------------------
That copy had disappeared in dramatic fashion after that and the real Mr. Puzzles holding you currently held you up and began to swing you around carefully and gently “My dear little star! You have such talent! I just KNEW I picked the perfect actor for my shows!” You smiled, your face slightly reddened at those words, you had hoped this would help Mr. Puzzles get to five stars as you knew how badly he had wanted it.
-------------------------------------------------------
In fact, during the time you two had spent together, he had confided in you just how badly he wanted to hit that five star rating, he had even mentioned something that if he hit those five stars then nothing would ever be the same again.
------------------------------------------------
You really hoped you could help him achieve this dream of his and then Mr. Puzzles set you down, his screen flickering to that happy grin of his, it was the less unsettling one, you noticed how his eyes seemed to move about during it, it was a cute expression …Although you definitely had your favorite expression of his, you wouldn’t say that out loud though, and then he set you down on the ground “Alrighty! Why don’t you go and take a breather, (Y/N)? After all, I’m sure you’re exhausted after that wonderful performance!"
-------------------------------------------------------------
You nodded, he was right, you were exhausted after all that, especially from all the nervousness you felt deep down, you headed off to your own little room that Mr. Puzzles had designed specifically for you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You did wonder if he planned to keep you here forever or something, after all, you did have a home to go back to, you maybe needed to talk to him about that… …For now, you sat in your room that was perfectly customized to your size, you sighed and took some deep breaths, you decided to grab yourself something to snack on and drink and then you sat down on the couch, you needed some stress relief, so you decided to read a book.
----------------------------------------------------------
After all, usually after shows were filmed, Mr. Puzzles would be gone for a bit, you assumed he was keeping up with the ratings and well making sure everything was in order, he seemed to be on top of everything that goes on here, he seemed to be in control of everything here judging from the looks of it.
--------------------------------------------------------
You read your book for a bit before moving onto playing some video games, you did that for a little bit, and then finally, you listened to some music, all of these activities easing your stress, although, there was a lingering fear deep down in the back of your head, worrying that you hadn’t done a good job, that Mr. Puzzles would be angry with you if he didn’t hit those five stars...
---------------------------------------------------
Even if he had never shown any signs of anger to you, you definitely had a lot more special privileges compared to the other crew members and actors, in fact, you were the one Mr. Puzzles hung out with a lot, he rarely ever hung out with the others, if he did, it was mostly for appearance’ sake.
------------------------------------------------
He could be egotistical a LOT, he was a perfectionist, he had a lot of… Questionable traits in all fairness but as you sat there listening to music, you kept thinking of the TV headed humanoid, you had been here already for… Well, a long time, Mr. Puzzles had said you had been here for about a week when you asked, which on one hand you REALLY needed to get back to your home because you just know you had some cleaning to do amongst other things.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
But on the other you didn’t… Necessarily want to leave here either, the reason is because even during the week you had spent here, you had saw Mr. Puzzles less as an idol, but more so… As a crush, you were developing feelings for him.
----------------------------------------------------------------
You thought back to just a few moments ago, when the two of you had blushed at one another, you thought about that damn face, that damn smug look he oh so loved to wear all the time… Even now, when you were alone, just thinking about it made your face blush, you groaned as you plopped down on the couch, laying down and placing your hands over your face.
------------------------------------------------------------
You were falling in love with the TV headed humanoid and you felt silly for it, after all, hell, you doubted he felt anything like THAT toward you, sure, he liked you and gave you special privileges and… . . . Wait… Did he also have feelings for you? You shot up from the couch, thinking about that now.
--------------------------------------------------
And the more you thought about that the more you began to realize that maybe he did have a thing for you, you wouldn’t assume obviously, but it would make plausible sense, before you could question it further though, suddenly, you had been teleported out of your room and grabbed up by a giant gloved hand like usual, you yelped and panicked just a little bit from the suddenness of it and before you could even try to speak or protest...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Puzzles was spinning around with you again, and okay, this time it was making you pretty dizzy, the TV headed humanoid wasted no time in telling you what the deal was “My dear little star! Look!” He pointed at his own television screen, and it flickered.
---------------------------------------------------------
This time, not showing a face but he showed the episode that had just dropped with you in it, and your eyes widened, you looked shocked, the episode had a full five stars, everyone, even some of those executives that had criticized the show so harshly were stunned with their reviews of it, they had even given it a five stars, the overall opinion of the public was that this show was very good, and this meant you had helped him.
------------------------------------------------------------
You had helped Mr. Puzzles achieve his dream, and that made you ecstatic, now you understood why he was spinning you around “H-Hah…! We did it!” You were happy, finally, the streaming service and the shows you had such a passion and love for, now people seemed to understand.
--------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Puzzles’ faces flickered between each one except the scary and annoyed expression, he seemed like he was going to overload with happiness unless he calmed down, he tried to calm down and recompose himself, his face going back to a regular smile “Yes! I finally got my five stars, and it’s thanks to you, my dear! I just knew I made the right decision by taking you with me, with you by my side, we’ll be unstoppable! The whole WORLD will tune into Puzzlevision to watch our shows!”
---------------------------------------------------------
It was not often, if at all that Mr. Puzzles would give anyone else aside from himself the spotlight, the credit, but he seemed to be ecstatic by the thought of sharing the fame if it meant sharing it with you.
--------------------------------------------------------
You were happy, and you hadn’t realized there were some tears forming in your eyes, because well, knowing you had helped him succeed, that took a lotta nervousness off that you had been feeling, Mr. Puzzles quickly noticed this, and his face flickered to an expression you hadn’t seen before, a face of genuine concern and worry “(Y/N)? My favorite little actor… What’s wrong? Have I been holding you too tightly? Did the swaying scare you?”
---------------------------------------------------------------
You were quick to shake your head “N-No, I just… I’m just… Really glad I helped you, I-I uh, I won’t lie to you, Mr. Puzzles… I-I was… Kinda nervous, anxious about…” And you paused, unsure whether you should admit this.
-------------------------------------------------------
But, Mr. Puzzles looked like he wanted to know what you were about to say, in fact, he wasn’t interrupting you, and well, you couldn’t lie to him or hide that forever, so you sighed and decided to open up just a bit “...I-I just, I was worried… That i-if I didn’t, um, get you to five stars, that you’d… Get angry with me” And Mr. Puzzles gasps, his face flickering to one of surprise but he understood why you’d think that, and then he brought you closer to his screen.
--------------------------------------------------------------
A warm smile on his face as he held you in his giant gloved palm “Oh my dear little star… My sincerest, I… Know I must have put a LOT of stress on you during those times, and while, true, I do get angry with some of my staff…”
---------------------------------------------------
Mr. Puzzles begins to gently stroke your head with his other hand, using a finger since he didn’t want to accidentally squish your tiny form “I would never take my anger out on you…! You… …Well, as cliché as it may sound, you are… Special to me, not just my favorite actor obviously, I…” And then he paused, seemingly trying to find the words, his screen flickered, and well, he awkwardly stuttered which is rare for someone as confident as him.
--------------------------------------------------------------
And his screen had pink where his cheeks would be “...W-Well I… Erm, I… I value… You…” His words sound a bit robotic before a flicker of annoyance crosses his face and he sighs before finally speaking properly “I… I really do value your company, you make this space feel… LESS lonely”
------------------------------------------------------------
You looked up at Mr. Puzzles, processing his words, you felt his finger reach up to wipe your tears gently away and that made you smile and blush slightly yourself, you reached out to hold his finger, your hand could just barely fit around the gloved appendage because of your small stature, while you did need to address the fact that you also needed to go home …At least every once in a while.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You could do that later, as it seems Mr. Puzzles had an idea, as he pulled his free hand back “Here, I know just the way to make it up to you” And with a snap of his fingers, the space around you two changed, into a much cozier setting.
-------------------------------------------------
It was your home but, big enough to accommodate Mr. Puzzles’ huge height, a place where you felt at your most comfortable and safe, he snapped his fingers again and a weighted blanket formed around you, wrapping securely around you, some of your comfort foods and drinks appeared if you wanted, Mr. Puzzles then holds you close to his chest, and well.
----------------------------------------------------------------
You can hear a heartbeat, it makes you wonder about Mr. Puzzles anatomy, just how did the man work exactly…? He was a TV headed humanoid, did he have a real heart or was he just imitating a heartbeat to give you comfort? Either way, it was a very nice gesture.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Puzzles looked down at you with a warm smile and a blush on his face “Let’s just enjoy some quiet time together my dear little star” You nodded at that, feeling utterly relieved to have the pressure taken off and to just be able to relax, you sat there in the palm of the TV headed humanoid’s hand, he gently stroked your hair in an affectionate manner.
------------------------------------------------------------
You hadn’t had much time to think about it since you had been working for the last week or so with Mr. Puzzles but, now you were paying attention to just how tiny you were in the palm of his hands, you fit perfectly in them, you felt… Comfortable and safe, despite how unhinged the man could be.
--------------------------------------------------
You have seen some of his more… Unhinged moments play out as the week had unfolded obviously, and well, he could definitely be intense but he never seemed like that to you…
--------------------------------------------------
You watched as Mr. Puzzles looked down at you, even the way he looked at you compared to others was different, he had a soft, gentle expression on his face, he did give you that smug look sometimes but that just made your heart swoon whenever he did, and you had a feeling he knew that because he loved to pull that face on you more often.
-----------------------------------------------------------
In fact, his screen flickered to that face as if he had read your mind, he didn’t speak but he was smugly staring down at you, he adored attention and oh boy, did he love your attention on him like this.
----------------------------------------------------------
You felt the warmth of Mr. Puzzles screen bearing down on you, it wasn’t overwhelming or super hot, just a pleasant warmth that made you feel comforted, you knew your parents had once told you not to sit too close to the TV many times but, well, considering how things are now, you wouldn’t mind sitting close to THIS television, it’s something you could get used to.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You snuggled a bit closer in the giant TV headed humanoid’s palm and you saw his screen flicker for a split second, he seemed surprised that you were so comfortable, so trusting around him but then he had a genuine smile and a pink blush on his screen.
-----------------------------------------------------
You two didn’t speak, but you didn’t have to, the looks on your faces, the atmosphere of the room spoke for itself, Mr. Puzzles gently reached his free hand down, stroking your cheek with a huge finger, you allowed this to happen, even nuzzling slightly into the touch, it felt… Nice, you felt completely safe and trusting in these giant hands.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
You reached out to gently pat his finger, as a silent thank you, pausing slightly when you looked at your own hand just compared to one of his fingers alone, you were pretty fascinated by the size difference, even though Mr. Puzzles had said he could shrink or grow whenever he felt like it.
---------------------------------------------------------------
You had questioned to yourself at some point why he stayed this height, in fact at some point during the week you had asked why he stayed that height and he gave you a strange answer, yet another weird thing of mentioning a story of sorts, he had said something along the lines of ‘Oh, that’s because this story wouldn’t exactly be an x Tiny!Reader if I wasn’t giant’ . . . You REALLY needed to ask him to explain what he meant by all that because it had just confused you completely.
-----------------------------------------------------
But for now, you were beginning to grow sleepy, you yawned and Mr. Puzzles seemed to catch on to it, and well his screen flickered for a moment before going back to his smile, and then, soft, relaxing music began to play.
-----------------------------------------------------------
You smiled, appreciative of that as you lay down on the palm of his hands, he continued to stroke your head gently, keeping you held securely to his chest, the steady rhythm of a heartbeat that you didn’t know was real or synthetic but either way, the steady rhythm helped further relax you, you snuggled into both his palm and the weighted blanket, you began to close your eyes, you felt the warm glow and light of his screen on you.
-------------------------------------------------------------
You could tell he was looking at you, and well, Mr. Puzzles wouldn’t deny, to him, you looked absolutely adorable like this, he was… Awkward with admitting any feelings he may have, hell, he had been awkward trying to tell you that you mattered to him in general.
---------------------------------------------------------------
You then spoke finally, your soft sleepy voice echoing out “...Goodnight, Mr. Puzzles…” And then Mr. Puzzles chuckled softly, patting your head “...Goodnight, my dear little star… Sleep well…” And then you finally fell asleep, safe and sound in the palm of his hands.
-----------------------------------------

The Woes Of An Emo
Summary: He can have one brain cell. As a treat. Also, y'all knew I couldn't resist angst for this long.
Warnings: A little bit of anxiety, off-screen kissing, not much money(?). Tell me if I need to add anything else!
{Masterlist} {Previous}
Chapter 6: Let's All Run From Our Problems, Shall We?
"Patton!" Roman called. "Why don't we go get ice cream for everyone while Virgil checks out?"
Patton debated it in his head for a second before responding. "Ok! What does everyone want?"
"I'll take a dark chocolate." Virgil requested while handing a five dollar bill to Patton to pay for his order.
"A vanilla, please." Logan handed Roman a ten.
"Alright! Let's begin our journey, Patton!" Roman linked arms with Patton and ventured out of the Hot Topic store.
Virgil immediately looked to Logan. "So what's that about?"
Logan flushed. "Wh- ahem- what do you mean?" He cleared his throat nervously.
"That was pretty out of the blue and strange, and you are definitely acting sus."
" 'Sus' is not a word-"
"What's your plan? To ditch me? Cause if that's your plan you can just tell me to leave-"
Logan put a hand on Virgil's shoulder, and for a moment Virgil thought he was about to die.
"Virgil, you invited us. If we didn't want to hang out with you, we wouldn't have come, ok?"
Virgil let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. "Ok." He sighed. "Then what is the plan?"
Logan turned red again. "Oh- um- well- I just wanted to um- surprise Patton with the plush he wanted, so- uh- Roman took him away to distract him." Logan explained nervously.
Virgil smirked. "Oh? Do you...like Patton?"
Logan turned towards the shelf where the Pusheen plush was. "Lets just get the plush and check out." Virgil chuckled as he followed.
---
"Here's your change." The cashier said as he handed Roman some pennies.
"Thank you, sir!" Roman graciously took the three pennies and joined Patton at the bench he was sitting at next to the ice cream stand.
"Your ice cream, my good sir." Roman dramatically handed Patton a superman ice cream cone with sprinkles on it.
"But- I didn't order any!" Patton protested.
"C'mon Patton, I saw the way you looked while ordering everyone else's!"
"Well- I-I can't pay you back-"
"I'm not asking you to." Roman continued to hand the ice cream to Patton, which Patton took reluctantly.
"Thanks." He said with a small smile.
"No problem, Padre. I mean, I can't count how many times you helped me with practicing my lines, or baking snacks for the musical cast, or even just coming to all our musicals, despite not having any friends in them! This is really the least I could do!"
Patton nervously rubbed the back of his neck. "Ah gee, it wasn't that big of a deal! ...But thank you."
Roman took a sip of his milkshake. "Speaking of," he said with his mouth full. "why did you come to all the musicals? It's not like you knew anyone that well in the cast. We basically only talked when I needed something, and I'm pretty sure the rest of the cast did the same."
Patton's face went a little pinker. "Oh- well, uh- I just...like supporting you guys!"
Roman smirked. "Patton Hart, do I sense a lie?"
Patton panicked. "What?! No, of course not! Why would I lie about that?!"
Roman only smirked more and leaned closer. "Because someone there is really important to you?"
Patton's entire face went red. "I- well, I don't know if that's the only reason-"
"Aha!" Roman laughed. "He admits it! Who was it? No, who is it?"
"N-No one!"
"C'mon Patton, this is a safe space! I won't tell! But if you want I could totally help you!" He offered excitedly.
Patton thought about it for a second before sighing. "Islogan." He mumbled.
"Sorry, Pat, I didn't quite catch that." He said in a teasing tone.
"ITS LOGAN! I LIKE LOGAN!" Patton exclaimed.
"You do?" Suddenly Logan was a couple of feet from the bench they were sitting at, definitely hearing what Patton had said.
"Uh-" Patton practically shoved his ice cream into Roman's hands, quickly sat up and r a n.
"Oh sh-" Logan took off after him, leaving Roman and Virgil with extra ice cream and concerned faces.
"Um, I think we should let them sort that out." Roman said.
"Are you sure? What if Logan doesn't find Patton?"
"Logan took track in middle school and he still sticks to diets and work-outs. I think he'll be fine." Roman explained. "Besides, he'd probably run ten miles just for Patton to smile, so."
"Right, right." Virgil nervously sat down next to Roman, hoping that this wouldn't be awkward.
"So, what'd you get, Hot Topic?" Roman askee, pointing to Virgil's big bag.
"Aww, you think I'm hot." Virgil teased before he could stop himself. He said that with Princey one time, and it's become an inside joke for them.
Roman chuckled. "Indeed I do. Is that a problem?"
Virgil flushed a bit. "Only if you make it one." He flirted back. Wait, flirted?
"Oh?" Roman leaned in a little closer, and by little, Virgil means that wow his lips looked super soft. "Would you like me to make it a problem?" He asked, dropping his voice lower unfairly.
Virgil's face went redder. "I-" Virgil's phone started ringing. Thank god, Virgil didn't know if he liked where that was going or not, and he didn't want to find out either.
"S-Sorry I have to take this." Virgil quickly stood and walked a few steps away before answering. "H-Hello?"
"Hey, Virge! Just wondering if you're doing ok, I haven't heard from you for awhile." Emile said.
Virgil sighed in relief apon hearing his father. "Hey, Dad. Yeah, I'm doing good. Just eating ice cream right now."
"Oh good! How are your friends?" Ah. He was worried about him. "Everything going fine?"
"Uh-" Virgil glanced towards the direction Patton and Logan ran in, still not seeing them. "Yeah. Everyone's fine. We're having fun."
Emile sighed a little on the other side of the phone. "Good. Did you spend all your money yet?"
Virgil chuckled. "Ha ha. Very funny. But no, I still have some."
Emile chuckled as well. "That's really good. I'm happy for you, Virge."
"C'mon Dad, don't get all emotional on me now."
Emile laughed a little. "Alright, alright. I'll leave you be then. Call if you need anything!"
"I will. Love you."
"Love you too, Virgil." And with that, they hung up, and Virgil was left alone with Roman again.
Virgil sat next to Roman again, when this time Roman's phone dinged.
Roman gasped as he looked at the message. "It's Logan."
"What?" Virgil leaned over Roman to look at Logan's text. "What does it say?"
" 'Don't worry too much, we'll be back shortly. -Logan.' " Roman read off his screen.
"Does that mean everythings good?" Virgil asked cautiously.
"Sounds like it. Though, Logan isn't that great at communicating emotions over text." He chuckled.
"What do you think happened with them?"
"Hopefully they made out."
Virgil laughed hard, making Roman smile sadly.
"I hope they did too." Virgil said, still laughing. "I swore Patton was gonna swoon when I saw them talking for the first time. Or at least die of blush."
"Oh I know. They're so oblivious, its almost not funny anymore!" Roman smiled. "Almost."
From there, Roman and Virgil laughed over their friends' pining, eventually talking about all kinds of random things while the waited for Patton and Logan to return, all ice cream long gone.
"When Trevor missed his cue? God, I thought the show was over." Virgil reminisced.
Roman laughed that loud, boisterous, adorable laugh of his. "I still can't believe he did that! I mean, how do you forget when you do a quick change right before it?"
Virgil laughed along with Roman when two familiar faces showed up.
"So you ate all our ice cream?" Logan asked, calling attention to himself smiling softly and holding Patton's hand.
Roman and Virgil immediately brightened. "Logan! Patton! You two finally got together!" Roman exclaimed.
Both of them blushed and Patton even hid behind the Pusheen plush in embarrassment.
"Soooo~?" Roman teased. "Tell us everything."
"I-" Patton giggled. "I think we should maybe keep that to ourselves." He said as he blushed again.
"Oh my god, you two actually did make out." Virgil accused. Logan and Patton only went paler.
"OH MY GOD!" Virgil freaked. "YOU ABSOLUTELY DID!"
They all laughed over it after awhile, leaving Roman staring at his phone.
Now he really didn't have a chance.

Ooooooo what does that mean????? Guess we'll find out soon~

Mar 5 Dancitron Movie Night - A cat documentary and a spider documentary
Swoop tried to make Tarantulas and Bob have a table-eating contest, and punched Tarantulas hen he refused. Laserbeak came down and laid down the law. It was, Prowl thinks, about damn time.
The spider documentary was very rude about how it described spiders. Calling them freaks and monsters. Hmph.

If you drink enough energon you'll find it

*looks for energon
Aegis 8:33 pm

Tarantulas 8:34 pm
I never said I wanted to beat Bob at anything. I concede defeat.
Bob 8:34 pm
...THERE ARE TABLES IN ENERGON????
Smokescreen 8:34 pm
Sometimes! Just drink a little every now and then and you'll find one.
Swoop 8:34 pm
You Spiderbot not eat anything. That bad contest.
Bob 8:34 pm

Tarantulas 8:35 pm

Swoop 8:36 pm
Um. Dunno!
Me Swoop never eating contest

Prowl 8:38 pm

Jazz 8:39 pm
Nahh. Not for you, my friend.
Tarantulas 8:39 pm
I'm not eating a table. But, if permitted, I will take some cake.
Prowl 8:39 pm

Aegis 8:47 pm
It's when someone being held by another is conditioned to enjoy and empathize with the one that's holding them hostage.
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:47 pm

[[From time to time.]]
Smokescreen 9:19 pm
All the time.
messy's bigger than my dinner place
Aegis 9:19 pm
*looks over at Bob and scoots a little closer, offering him an oil cake*
Smokescreen 9:19 pm
so is Airachnid
Bob 9:19 pm
*Sadly gnoshes
Smokescreen 9:19 pm
... all the spiders I know are
Bob 9:20 pm
THANK YOU SMALL FRIEND =<
Aegis 9:20 pm
*Hesitantly pats Bob*
Smokescreen 9:20 pm

Magnum Ace 9:20 pm

//Hey, it got, like. Octopus suckers.//
Smokescreen 9:21 pm
mass cuddling
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:21 pm
*Zori was about to come downstairs. He squeals at "crush through scorpions" and flees upstairs again.*
Smokescreen 9:21 pm
... sticky?
Sticky??
Specs 9:21 pm
*oh shit, Zori! she was about to find him to offer reassurance, too.*
Smokescreen 9:21 pm
... /looking over to stare at Tarantulas/
Tarantulas 9:21 pm
If I couldn't build myself tough enough to withstand a hit from an immature Dinobot - well. Let's just say, I can. I'm fine.
Smokescreen 9:22 pm
Messy, are you sticky?
Anywhere?
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:22 pm
*Soundwave pings Zori comfort and temporarily opens his upstairs door to let the little one in.*
[[He is glad.]]
Aegis 9:22 pm
*nearly chokes on his drink*
Tarantulas 9:22 pm
*spits word at smokey* No.
Aegis 9:22 pm
That is not a question that's appropriate outside the berth room...
Smokescreen 9:22 pm
Oh! That's good- it'd be difficult to hold you if you were.
W
what
Messy doesn't even- he's not even interested in that kinda thing!
Bob 9:22 pm
*scooches*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:23 pm
*Soundwave's vents rattle in a barely suppressed snort.*
Specs 9:23 pm
*this looks Incredibly Delicious and she must be a well-behaved dragon that doesn't eat spiders*
Bob 9:23 pm
*presses a couple of bandaids into Tarantulas's hands*
Aegis 9:23 pm
It's personal frame type information and you're asking it in public...
Bob 9:23 pm
*They're absurdly small*
*scooches away*
Smokescreen 9:23 pm
I was asking if he's got sticky spiderpaws!
Tarantulas 9:23 pm
*if you so much as try to nibble this spide he's gonna end u dragon*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:23 pm
*Soundwave uses a feeler to pass a bowl of other bugs to the dragon. Here. Take it out on these.*
Specs 9:23 pm
*CRONCH*
((pfff. jumping spiders are FAR too adorable to be scary))
Smokescreen 9:24 pm
((I knw right
... that one is so cute
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:24 pm
((you wouldn't say that if one jumped in your face))
Smokescreen 9:24 pm
Wait wait wait if I were a spider could I be that one
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:25 pm
[[What legs.]]
Specs 9:25 pm
((yes I would. I'd startle, sure, but I have stupid anxious reflexes.))
Tarantulas 9:25 pm
*tiny pat to the top of magnum's head* Your concern's appreciated, but unnecessary.
Prowl 9:25 pm
*all right, at this point prowl is pretty sure tarantulas will WANT to be distracted, so steps into personal bubble range and asks quietly,* You're sure you're fine? No dent?
Smokescreen 9:25 pm
Leg fluid?
Prowl 9:25 pm
*half-reaches toward the point where he was punched?*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:25 pm
*Vents rattle again.*
Smokescreen 9:26 pm
... /Confused staring at Soundwave- taking a couple of steps away./
Magnum Ace 9:27 pm
-back to his table now, Prowl's got this, right?-
Specs 9:27 pm
*cronch monch*
Tarantulas 9:27 pm
*it's a prowl !!! holds still, lets him reach* O-of course. Internals got shifted to the side a half a millimeter, but I'm fine.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:27 pm
*Oh, yes. The liquefying venom. Tarantulas never did give him a solid answer.*
*Soundwave watches Ace for a second. He's still curious about that drone...*
Specs 9:27 pm
((she's beautiful and I love her))
Smokescreen 9:28 pm
/Smokescreen will sit down near Magnum- he doesn't want to be near Prowl or Soundwave. And Magnum's cool!/
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:28 pm
((tara and slendy sling))
Aegis 9:28 pm
*Looks fascinated with this documentary*
*Still absently petting Bob because he's close*
Smokescreen 9:28 pm
It's a web
of lies
Prowl 9:28 pm
*brushes side, searching for dents.* ... You shouldn't have put up with him that long.
Magnum Ace 9:29 pm
Oh, hello, Smokescreen
Smokescreen 9:29 pm
Hey, Magnum! You taking care of yourself?
Magnum Ace 9:29 pm
Eh....as well as I can
Tarantulas 9:30 pm
*none to be found, prowl* I suppose not. But I'm /trying/ - *sigh. how to explain*
Smokescreen 9:30 pm
Aww- that's fair. Have you been seeing your medics and stuff now? I was gonna see one after this- sports haven't been too hard on you, right?
Tarantulas 9:30 pm
*mutters* Could they stop with the sound effects already? Primus.
Smokescreen 9:31 pm
just let her eat
Prowl 9:31 pm
*... wants, very much, to put his free hand on Tarantulas's other side and leave them both there.*
Specs 9:31 pm
((A FRIEND AND GIRL))
Tarantulas 9:31 pm
*do it prowl*
Prowl 9:31 pm
*doesn't. steps back instead.* It's not a very respectful documentary, is it.
Magnum Ace 9:31 pm
Mechanics. And I'm...--usually pushed in by Bull Armor-- getting better at it?
Specs 9:32 pm
((the tenebrous fishing spider lives in my area, and is Very Good))
((very large but good friends))
Bob 9:32 pm
*raises a hand
MR SOUND OF THE WAVES?
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:32 pm
*Overheard that. Naturally.*
[[The others were worse. Or less informative.]] *Pause.* [[Yes, Bob?]]
Smokescreen 9:32 pm
... That's good! You gotta take care of yourself. I'm not very good at it, but- I'm kinda worried about this one thing, and it's better safe than sorry, right?
Bob 9:32 pm
CAN I GO BACK TO THE ARK HOME NOW?
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:32 pm
[[You may. A bridge will be outside for you.]]
Bob 9:32 pm
I'M SURE THE SWOOPING FRIEND IS SORRY.
Swoop 9:33 pm
*IS NOT SORRY FIGHT HIM*
Tarantulas 9:33 pm
I doubted it would be, but. *waah. why you gotta step away, prowl*
Bob 9:33 pm
I SHOULD DO THE TALKING WITH HIM.
THANK YOU.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:33 pm
[[If you think it will help.]]
Aegis 9:33 pm
Take care Bob.
Bob 9:33 pm
TARANTULAS FRIEND? SORRY =<
BYE!
Tarantulas 9:33 pm
*a nod at bob*
*pure bug didn't do anything wrong*
Bob 9:33 pm
*waves and is off*
Magnum Ace 9:33 pm
-laughs a little- Working on it...
Specs 9:34 pm
((what's REALLY impressive is watching these girls go for fish longer than they are. they tend to figure out what fish can and can't eat them very quickly, and they take full advantage of that.))
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:34 pm
((talented spides))
Smokescreen 9:34 pm
Aww- keep at it! What about- fun stuff? Have you had the chance to relax?
Prowl 9:34 pm
((such smarts for such tinies.))
Magnum Ace 9:35 pm
Eh.....not recently. Things have gotten hectic, for the off season.
Smokescreen 9:35 pm
Wait, really? What's been going on?
Tarantulas 9:35 pm
*reaches for prowl's wrist before he can leave* May I sit with you...?
Smokescreen 9:36 pm
I want silk glands!
Magnum Ace 9:36 pm
....a few things that just need to be worked out
Prowl 9:36 pm
... *prowl should say no. he's nowhere close to getting over the fact that he can't trust tarantulas, he'd unfairly get BOTH their hopes up by acting like things are normal, he shouldn't—*
Sure. *dammit prowl.*
Tarantulas 9:37 pm
*visor is glowing eagerly, nods toward seat*
*all it took was a dinobot punch to the side to get to sit next to prowl again*
Prowl 9:37 pm
((sometimes i like to think i'm a sophisticated mature adult. other times im like, "it's pooping spaghetti."))
Smokescreen 9:37 pm
... /Turning towards Messy- while trying not to look at Prowl/ Is that how you can make silk or nah?
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:37 pm
((lmao))
Swoop 9:37 pm
((ur welcome, tara))
Magnum Ace 9:38 pm
-he's not going to say that it's a major issue that's going to take a while to work out-
Tarantulas 9:38 pm
It's roughly the same, yes.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:38 pm
*Nod to once-again-couch-sharer and continues watching.*
Smokescreen 9:38 pm
I get that, Magnum- I hope everything works out okay. If you ever need help- or just a listening audial, you're not alone.
Whoa- really? That's pretty cool! How much silk can you make?
Prowl 9:39 pm
*nods back as he sits.*
Tarantulas 9:39 pm
More than I need, hyeh. *sits with*
Smokescreen 9:40 pm
Pff- can you wrap someone up like those insects?
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:40 pm
*Can't help imagining Tarantulas mass-shifted to ten times Prowl's size and offering to interface. Tries not to betray his amusement in any way whatsoever.*
Tarantulas 9:40 pm
Can, and have.
Smokescreen 9:40 pm
Whoa- can you wrap me up in silk sometime?
Swoop 9:40 pm
((butt))
Tarantulas 9:41 pm
(( booty
Prowl 9:41 pm
((a literal bubble butt))

((cons of having been a fanfic goblin since middle school: one bad fanfic has r u i n e d book lungs for me))
Magnum Ace 9:41 pm
Thanks for the offer
Prowl 9:41 pm
((ok ive gotta ask))
Tarantulas 9:41 pm
(( same, i gotta know
Prowl 9:41 pm
((did somebody fuck the book lungs))
Specs 9:42 pm
(("his lungs unfolded in surprise"))
((NO((
((just serious lack of comprehending book lungs))
Prowl 9:42 pm
((... okay "his lungs unfolded in surprise" is pretty weird too))
Smokescreen 9:42 pm
((lungs turned a page in surprise))
Aegis 9:42 pm
It looks so soft...
Tarantulas 9:42 pm
*is quite soft*
Prowl 9:42 pm
((his lungs accordioned in bafflement))
Smokescreen 9:42 pm
is it weird to want to hug all of these spiders
Specs 9:42 pm
((yeah, the writer thought that book lungs worked like books, and it was horrible))
Aegis 9:43 pm
No, perfectly normal
Specs 9:43 pm
They do look very soft. *ignore her cronching these bugs*
Prowl 9:43 pm
((he held his book-eared breath))
Smokescreen 9:43 pm
((his lungs fluttered open))
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:43 pm
*Now that the commotion sounds like it's died down, Chimera comes to see what's been happening. They slink down the stairs, over to Soundwave's couch, around the front... and looks up. Nobody looks harmed. Huh.*
*Unfortunately, Ravage has once again taken Soundwave's lap. Recognizing Prowl as one of their Boss' trusted companions, they do what has always been acceptable with the others aaaaaand try to leap up onto his lap to curl up.*
Tarantulas 9:43 pm
(( u mean BOOTY trap
Prowl 9:44 pm
*FREEZES*
Specs 9:44 pm
((you are all killing me))
Prowl 9:44 pm
*what the FUCK. who just sits on somebody's lap without asking.*
Smokescreen 9:44 pm
... Oh yeah. Sounds. Did you still want some of those coupons
Prowl 9:45 pm
*looks down at Chimera.* ...... Excuse me.
Smokescreen 9:45 pm
many legbrations
Tarantulas 9:46 pm
*centipede. mmm*
Smokescreen 9:46 pm
oh vo
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:46 pm
*Soundwave's vents grow dead still. He's just. Gonna-- oh. Oh no. Too slow.*
*Chimera blinks up at Prowl.* <<Why? The Archi-- the Prowl has done nothing.>>
Prowl 9:46 pm
You are sitting in my lap.
Smokescreen 9:46 pm
all spiders are alien spiders to us though
Prowl 9:46 pm
*"the archi"?*
Magnum Ace 9:46 pm
....
Tarantulas 9:46 pm
I'm not an alien, hff.
Smokescreen 9:47 pm
You're the only non-alien spider along with Airachnid!
But you're the better kind.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:47 pm
*The Architect. The Prowl did not like being called that last time. They have tried to adjust.*
<<Yes.>>
Magnum Ace 9:47 pm
I'm native to Earth, and that is a very odd looking spider
Aegis 9:47 pm
I mean, technically if we're not from the same cybertron, you are.
Smokescreen 9:47 pm
... Fair enough, Magnum.
Prowl 9:47 pm
... I would appreciate if you did not.
Specs 9:47 pm
Interestingly, that looks very much like a type of arachnid native to my moon. It's just not bright yellow.
Smokescreen 9:47 pm
BABIES
Specs 9:47 pm
Oh! Babies!
Tarantulas 9:47 pm
*SLINGS SLINGS SLINGS*
Smokescreen 9:47 pm
oooooohhhh it's like a backpack
messy messy messy can you
if you had bitlets would you hold 'em like that
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:48 pm
*Chimera stares for a moment, processing the unusual request. Then:*
<<Oh! Okay. Where does The Prowl want Chimera to sit?>>
Prowl 9:49 pm
... I do not have a preference beyond "not on me."
Magnum Ace 9:49 pm
-snorts at he sight of dunes-
Aegis 9:49 pm
*Smirks at Smokey* He could always put bitlets on your abdomen like the Camel Spider
Smokescreen 9:49 pm
Camel spider?
... wait, on mine?
Magnum Ace 9:49 pm
-don't mind him-
Specs 9:49 pm
*Chimera can sit with the dragon*

eggsciting
Swoop 9:50 pm
((PCHOOO))
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:50 pm
*Cheerfully:* <<Okay! Chimera will move now.>> *LEAP up and onto the back of hte couch with a minor scramble. Not -quite- as agile as Ravage.*
Specs 9:51 pm
...Can someone with a larger mouth bite Smokescreen?
Prowl 9:51 pm
*LAUGHS. covers mouth.*
Smokescreen 9:51 pm
...
Prowl 9:51 pm
*it's just— rolling away.*
*shwoo.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:51 pm
[[That is ridiculous.]]
@P: [[He cannot apologize enough.]]
=Is that a request?=
Smokescreen 9:51 pm
come on specs that was an eggcellent pun
Aegis 9:51 pm
That's a horrible yolk and you know it
Magnum Ace 9:51 pm
-snickering at the sight...and bad joke-
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:52 pm
*Oh--! It's the one with the--*

Prowl 9:52 pm
*turns to Chimera.* Thank you.
*what. why shove.*
Specs 9:52 pm
There are some puns that deserve a death sentence, Smokescreen.
Tarantulas 9:52 pm
*u laugh at spide*
Prowl 9:52 pm
*it ROLLED*
Smokescreen 9:52 pm
Aww, come on. I'm too HARD BOILED to suffer from anything!

Isn't that too much of a pun-ishment?

*so can he, would you laugh at him*

No, I'm a car. *has absolutely no idea why Chimera might have drawn that connection.*
Tarantulas 9:54 pm
(( anon asked him one time and tarantulas couldn't help but try
Specs 9:54 pm
((and THIS is why I spent 20 minutes being sure of where she was, where I was, and that my socks were on my hands before getting things out of my locker))
Aegis 9:54 pm
*Looks at Tara* Do you have venom?
Specs 9:54 pm
((neurotoxin is the suck))
Smokescreen 9:55 pm
Neurotoxinssss
many many babies
Tarantulas 9:55 pm
Do I? *so mysterious*
Smokescreen 9:55 pm
... wait messy do you?
If you bit me would I die
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:56 pm
<<Oh. The Boss thought you had an hourglass.>> *Chirp.* <<This one is many things. Not cars. Cars are big.>>
Aegis 9:56 pm
If you do, would it be natural? Or.. is it something we could exchange recipes about?
Smokescreen 9:56 pm
they're dancing!
Aegis 9:56 pm
Oh no they're adorable
Smokescreen 9:56 pm
... can't you put a mirror down and confuse them
Swoop 9:56 pm
((look at those moves))
Prowl 9:56 pm
I don't have an hourglass. I have a lava lamp, though. *it looks sort of similar and the substance inside goes up and down, maybe Soundwave saw it from a distance and mistook it.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:56 pm
*You know what, he's going to just focus on this - this dance-off.*
Prowl 9:57 pm
A bird, snake, and dog, correct?
Specs 9:57 pm
((I love these spiders so much))
Smokescreen 9:57 pm

this
this is me in spider form
Prowl 9:57 pm
((the fucking didgeridoo))
Magnum Ace 9:57 pm
-snorting laughter-
Specs 9:57 pm
Actually, Smokescreen, I believe you are correct in this instance.
Smokescreen 9:58 pm
.... are they
were those spiders
It's Messy!
Tarantulas 9:58 pm
I'm not a goliath, but close.
Swoop 9:58 pm
((oh my fucking god did it ROAR and then STOMP a bug???))
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:58 pm
*Ravage immediately sits up and turns to stare at Prowl with something akin to betrayal.* =Dog?=
<<Oh, no, no, no. Chimera is bird, snake, and cat! Like the Hunter.>>
Prowl 9:58 pm
*hears "tarantula" and focuses on movie*
Smokescreen 9:58 pm
You're bigger than one though
Specs 9:59 pm
((I love this big boy))
Smokescreen 9:59 pm
the reason being they're a good friend
and are great to cuddle
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:59 pm
*Hmm. This does not look like the kind Tarantulas is. There must be more than one kind of tarantula.*
Prowl 9:59 pm
Oh. *reviews the shape and tries to figure out how it's more catty than doggy.* ... I'll take your word for it.
Specs 10:00 pm
It has such a nice, soft color to it. It would make a great friend, I think.
Smokescreen 10:00 pm
I'd trust it with my life
Prowl 10:00 pm
*... its setae are supposed to be sharp and painful?*
Aegis 10:00 pm
Goliath Tarantula...?
Don't those eat birds?
Prowl 10:01 pm
*looks at tarantulas's fuzz. ... can't relate.*
Tarantulas 10:01 pm
*only some, prowl*
Smokescreen 10:01 pm
... How big *can* you get, Messy?
Tarantulas 10:01 pm
Classified.
Specs 10:01 pm
Yes, hence the name "goliath bird-eating tarantula," I suspect.
Smokescreen 10:01 pm
Aww.
Bigger than Optimus?
Aegis 10:01 pm
I got distracted by something pretty
Tarantulas 10:02 pm
Yes, I'm fairly sure.
Smokescreen 10:02 pm
... Bigger than my Dad?
Tarantulas 10:02 pm
Of course.
Smokescreen 10:02 pm
Is there a limit?
Tarantulas 10:02 pm
*snort* You have more questions than Swoop does.
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:02 pm
<<Okay!>>
*Ravage looks at Chimera before looking at Prowl and squinting lightly. How could anyone consider his protege a dog? He decides to ping Prowl in private.*
@P: =You are unfamiliar, eh? With cats.=
Smokescreen 10:02 pm
I wanna learn more about you!
Tarantulas 10:04 pm
You ought to come up with a list, then, and let me answer them all at once.
Specs 10:04 pm
*the dragon yawns, and stretches* I suppose I should get some sleep. Have a good evening, everyone!
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:04 pm
[[Goodnight, dragon.]]
Smokescreen 10:04 pm
But I know I'll have more questions even after that- and I don't want to force you to answer a million questions all at once.

@R «I can't say I've been close to any. ... Emotionally, I mean.» *physically, he's very close to two right now.*
Smokescreen 10:06 pm
Oh! Sounds, sounds. Can we watch some of those oddly satisfying videos? I started watching some earlier this week and nearly forgot to watch the show I meant to see
Tarantulas 10:07 pm
(( ugh ive suddenly got a wicked headache, so im gonna bow out - tarantulas leaves regretfully and uneventfully??

(( night <3
Prowl 10:09 pm
@R «... All right.» *okay, Prowl guesses he's learning something today. Brushes Tarantulas's claws farewell and heads over to the bar.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:11 pm
*Ravage hops down, trots over to the bar - which is many times his height - and as soon as he is sure Prowl can see, leaps up on it as smooth as triple-filtered energon.*
@P: =First lesson: -dogs- do not do that.=
Magnum Ace 10:12 pm
-and he should be getting back, he needs to see what chaos is at home now-
Prowl 10:12 pm
@R «... Do what?» *use chairs? he's pretty sure he's seen dogs in chairs.*
*jump onto seats?? he's seen that too.*
Smokescreen 10:13 pm
... Actually, Sounds. I'm gonna head off. I've got an important doctor's appointment. With a trustworthy doctor. Maybe I'll see you next week?
Oh! I've heard this song I think on some radio station.
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:14 pm
@P: =Jump like me. Not so high, not so smooth. They scramble. No grace.=
[[He questions this 'trustworthy doctor'. But as you please.]]
*There will be a bridge waiting when Ace heads out. Hopefully he will be all right until next week...*
Magnum Ace 10:15 pm
-he's also worried about going back-
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:16 pm
*He can always try to make arrangements to stay behind if need be.*
Smokescreen 10:16 pm
Hey, he's probably the most trustworthy bot I know at this point, even if you don't think that.
Prowl 10:16 pm
@R «... Low jumpers. Got it.»
Magnum Ace 10:17 pm
-no, no, he needs to go. He doesn't want to make matters worse-
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:23 pm
@P: =Good, good. Now, paws.=
*Readjusts his sitting position to hold a front leg out. Flexes his paw and pops his claws in and out.*
@P: =Dog claws do not disappear. They are thick. Get dull.= *Like dogs themselves, he thinks.* =Earth cat claws do.= *Thoughtful rumble.* =Except cheetah. Long, thin big cats. Many spots. Runners. For them, claws out make good treads.=
*Twists his paw to the inside at the wrist.*
=Dog legs do not rotate here. Weak, inflexible creatures. Hmph.=
Magnum Ace 10:25 pm
-Right. Enough stalling. He's heading home.- ...Good night. And...thank you.
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:25 pm
[[Goodnight, Ace. You are always welcome.]]
Smokescreen 10:25 pm
Aww- night, Magnum! See you next week?
Prowl 10:25 pm
@R «Retractable claws. Rotating wrists.» *Anti-dog prejudice.* «Got it.»

*Ravage sets his paw down and opens his mouth wide. Good thing he's comming instead of talking out loud or this would be super difficult right now. Blaaaaah out sticks his tongue. There are weird barbs all over it.*
@P: =Stripping bristles. Rust, valuable minerals - or old fur, prey meat. Dogs have none.=
*In goes the tongue. Puts a paw to his own nose.*
=Many times, shorter, squared snout. No disgusting, dangling lips. Earth cat optics can become vertical slits. That is all wrong for dogs.= *Licks his chops.* =Sometimes dog ears flop. It is strange.=
Magnum Ace 10:31 pm
((and I'm out, g'night and thanks for the stream!
Prowl 10:32 pm
@R «What about pug cats, like in that video?» *he doesn't remember what the cats were called. he remembers that the dogs are called pugs.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:33 pm
@P: =Persian cats. Unfortunate victims.= *Shakes his helm and growls.* =They have lost their noses. The rest is true.=
Prowl 10:35 pm
@R «Some dogs have similar noses, though. Snout length isn't... isn't a very good universal identifier, is it?»
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:38 pm
@P: =Imperfect. Teeth patterns are better. Not mine.= *His are very much like Soundwave's instead of an Earth cat.* =...Pity such dogs more than usual. The humans have ruined them, too.=
Prowl 10:40 pm
@R «So. Dogs have longer snouts, except when they don't; and floppy ears, except when they don't. Cats have bristles in their mouths and vertical pupils.»
*... Prowl suspects none of this is going to be very useful for the Cybertronians that happen to superficially resemble Earth cats and dogs, but at least he has a checklist to tell one category of aliens apart from another.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:44 pm
*Some of it may be. All the Ravages Ravage has ever met are cats, at least.*
@P: =Different vocalizations, different proportions, different physical language cues - and /we/ do not serve. Even when imprisoned. We /accompany/.=
*Ravage considers that all and nods.*
=There. A basic data set.=
Prowl 10:47 pm
@R «All right. Thank you.» *Prowl wonders how much of it is true and how much is fictitious anti-dog stereotypes.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:48 pm
*Ravage settles into most of a loaf and gives Prowl a majestic nod.*
=Ah... and Earth police prefer using dogs.=
*Sharp, fangy smile.*
=Enjoy your night, yes?=
Prowl 10:53 pm
Thank you. And you. *he supposes the lesson's over then. back over to soundwave?*
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:55 pm
*It absolutely is. Ravage is certain he's done a good job of it all. How could anyone NOT look at him and Chimera and see them for the shining examples of feline nature they are?*
[[Welcome back. How bad of a scolding was it?]]
Prowl 10:56 pm
Less of a scolding and more of a lesson.
Omicron 10:56 pm
[am I too late?]
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:57 pm
((for the documentaries? aye, movies are usually finished by 10:30-11:00))
[[Unexpected. Usually he just claws mechs to make sure they don't forget what he is.]]
Omicron 10:58 pm
(ah, shoud I poof?)
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:58 pm
((up to you))
Omicron 10:58 pm
(if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to stay a little, but if you two want to rp on your own I'll scoot off)
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:59 pm
((i'm cool with a short stay))
Prowl 11:00 pm
*Probably shouldn't point out that dogs can claw too, then.* Well. Probably a privilege of dating the boss.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:05 pm
*Not quite like a cat can.*
[[He doesn't doubt it. They do all know how much he'd dislike seeing you harmed.]] *Test lean?* [[Which reminds him. How have you been lately?]]
Omicron 11:05 pm
Ice Queen limps in slowly, pauses seeing only the two there, in her bot mode for the first time.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:06 pm
*THAT'S new. He watches her enter, already marking weaknesses.*
Prowl 11:06 pm
*leans back against.* Mm. Can't complain.
*that IS new.*
KnockOot 11:07 pm
((mun is here, woo))
Omicron 11:07 pm
well... yeah...hi...by chance does someone have a patch kit? *the predacon femme waves a wing*
Prowl 11:08 pm
*sits up straight. this is clearly business and soundwave doesn't need leans.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:09 pm
[[No outrageous troubles with the force? Or anyone else? Citizens still holding grudges?]]
*Already waving for Frenzy to come down. He could have kept the leans, but if Prowl wants to keep up their usual half-afted secret preservation, he'll go along with it.*
[[We do. Seat yourself.]]
Prowl 11:11 pm
*it was mainly because he expected Soundwave to stand up, but if he's calling someone over instead, he'll resume leaning. discussion to be continued after their injured guest has been seen to.*
Omicron 11:12 pm
*the big predacon queen comes over to a seat, growling softly. She's mostly in shades of blue and green some black undertones. Not nearly as big as predaking, but doesn't have as much mass as her beast mode does* Thank you....
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:12 pm
*Please. Soundwave can do maintenance and basic field repairs - and still has the records on how to reconnect damaged spark chamber wires - but beyond that? No.*
*Frenzy comes leaping down three stairs at a time, a toolbox nearly as big as he is held sideways in his arms and rattling with each bounce.*
\\RIGHT. HOW'DJA GET FRAGGED UP 'N WHERE'S IT HURTIN'?\\
Omicron 11:15 pm
O_o well, I got in a....well, no it was a fight with the local Untra Magnus in the world my ship is in at the moment. *looks a little sheepish, points at her left knee and the damage at the joint, there's some ice encasing parts of her leg to keep energon from leaking*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:17 pm
\\Y'KNOW THAT AIN'T S'POSED TO BE WHAT GETTIN' HAMMERED MEANS, YEAH?\\
[[Frenzy.]]
\\WHAT? I'M JUS' SAYIN'.\\ *Frowns at the ice. Doesn't want to melt it and get water all in everywhere. Decides to pop a drill and slowly make several holes in it. All the easier to give it a crack and shatter it.* \\LONG'S HE DON'T COME HERE TRYIN' TO ARREST YA OR NOTHIN'.\\
*He'll settle in to tending it once he's got that ice off.*
Prowl 11:18 pm
*... Prowl's opinion of their guest has just dropped quite a few points. It /implies/ something about people when Ultra Magnus fights them. Things like their faction, associates, and hobbies.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:19 pm
*Of course it does. Soundwave's not going to have someone bleeding out all over his neutral space, though, so treatment it is.*
Prowl 11:20 pm
*Oh, by all means, heal the injured. Still though. They're off Prowl's imaginary Christmas card list.*
Omicron 11:20 pm
Tell me about it, its much better when Ultra Manus isn't hitting me. But I kind of attacks first this time, *she winces at the memory, can't really feel anything in her legs right now* Insticts kicked in
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:21 pm
*Besides... it means he'll be owed a favor.*
[[Why? What instincts could possibly compel you to attack the leader of the Wreckers?]]
\\EVEN I AIN'T THAT DUMB SOMETIMES.\\
[[/Frenzy./]]
\\WHAT!?\\
[[Your berthside manner leaves something to be desired.]]
Prowl 11:23 pm
*they're both right tho.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:26 pm
\\LISTEN, BOSS. ONLY OTHER BOT I AIN'T GONNA FRAG OFF THAT BAD'S YOU 'N THIS'N.\\ *Gestures over his shoulder at Prowl with a wire stripper before diving back into the wound.* \\RATHER PUNCH DEVASTATOR. LEAST I KNOW HE AIN'T GONNA KILL ME CUZ HE GOT THE HOTS FOR RUMBLE. ULTRA MAGNUS, I AIN'T SO SURE 'BOUT.\\
Omicron 11:26 pm
I didn't know he and the wreckers of that world were 'cleaning up' rouge insecticons, and a good chunk of my crew are Insecticons. I let them take a couple of the older hatchlings out to explore *gives a low reflexive growl, pauses and vents* I found the guards in stasis and the worker in cuffs
Prowl 11:29 pm
For what it's worth, Devastator's affections are smaller than his bloodlust.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:30 pm
\\YEAH?\\ *Considers that. Shrugs.* \\EH. I'D PUNCH 'IM ANYWAY.\\
[[He can see how that started a fight.]]
Omicron 11:33 pm
It looked like they were making off with my hatchlings. one of the effects of a strong beast mode *it looks like her hatchlings were being kidnapped so she attacked on reflex to protect them*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:36 pm
[[You'll want to clear the situation up soon. Ultra Magnuses - Magni? Hmm. - tend to have long, long memories.]]
*Frenzy pulls his hands out of the leg and duct tapes a thin patch of metal in place.*
\\IT AIN'T PERFECT, BUT I AIN'T DONE LOTS OF PREDACONS. IT'LL HOLD TIL YA GET IT DONE RIGHT.\\
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:37 pm
*He chucks an energon-coated shard of leg metal into his subspace, scoops up his tools, and heads upstairs to go clean off, whistling loudly.*
Omicron 11:38 pm
Thank you Frenzy. *gives a softer purr in thanks, wonders what he's planning on doing with that....hopes the nanites shute down* I can coat it in the ice again
Omicron 11:40 pm
*Ice queen looks over at Soundwave and nods* We started to, might have to do a trade, or rather predacon hunting skills. What do I own you for the aid?
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:40 pm
[[Outside, if you mean to do that. And nothing, for now. He'll think of a payment later. The hour is late.]]
Prowl 11:42 pm
... Unless your universe is VERY different from most, Ultra Magnus isn't the type to just... capture and lock up creatures that aren't bothering anyone. It was likely a misunderstanding—he probably didn't understand that the Insecticons were part of your crew, rather than wild ones that happened to be roaming in your vicinity. With an adequate explanation he will almost undoubtedly see his error.
But I'd suggest explaining it to him via comm.
Omicron 11:47 pm
*snorts a little, she does not like leaving things hanging debates pulling some energon out. She looks at prowl and inclines her head* Its been mostly cleared up now, for now? he and his wreckers are on their ship, I got my bugs and hatchlings back on mine.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:48 pm
*Soundwave rises to clean up a little bit. He doesn't need fresh energon; they have a whole bar down here and a mostly-full storage upstairs.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:51 pm
[[He hopes they stay secure in the future.]]
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:53 pm
[[He apologizes, but now he must close the building for the night. If you require further medical attention, the New Praxus clinic is slightly closer]] and more likely to be of assistance to strangers [[than New Kaon's.]]
Omicron 11:53 pm
*what would he like?* I've taken steps for that. and Dread is on full alerts for wreckers or wild insecticons
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:54 pm
*He doesn't know yet. Thus delaying on naming his price. Especially since the things he wants don't always line up with Prowl's approval.*
Omicron 11:55 pm
*ice queen gets up, frowning a moment but nods* thank you for the patch.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:56 pm
[[Quite welcome. He hopes you don't run into any.]]
Omicron 11:58 pm
*wave a wing claw and walks out, leg still stiff*
(thank you for the time)
Yesterday
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:59 pm
*Quietly hopes that does not become a lasting injury. Most of the Predacons he knows would challenge that without hesitation.*
((welcome!))
[[Where were we. Would you rather continue this discussion here or upstairs?]]
Prowl 12:03 am
*sideways look.* ... Two days ago we were neck-deep in bananas. I'm not risking the possibility that they aren't all gone yet.
*movie night is one thing. staying the night is another.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 12:04 am
[[...He doesn't suppose he could convince you to go to the -other- apartment. Or us to yours.]]
ItsyBitsySpyers 12:05 am
*At least he knows he's right about Prowl having trouble facing the banana madness. The first major incident is always the hardest.*
Prowl 12:09 am
Your other apartment is fine.
ItsyBitsySpyers 12:09 am
[[There, then. May he...?]]
*Scoop motion with one hand.*
Prowl 12:11 am
... You may.
ItsyBitsySpyers 12:13 am
*Pleased biolight pulse. Sweeps Prowl up and onto his shoulders just a little bit playfully - what good is a lot of strength if you can't use it to let loose in secret with your amica every once in a while? - opens a bridge, and marches through.*
*They can talk there.*
Prowl 12:14 am
*oh! wasn't expecting to go THAT high. yes, that seems fine to him.*
*is carried away.*

Mar 12 Dancitron Movie Night - Aliens
After having received threats of visits from his loyal cockroach subjects, Soundwave searched every arriving visitor for hiding roach hordes. Prowl (who honestly handled all this very well) asked Soundwave why he doesn’t just tell the cockroaches that consider him king that he doesn’t want them crawling inside his body. He didn’t really have a good answer.
Other than that, Prowl basically spent the whole movie hiding Tarantulas in his lap and trying to puzzle out how much of the movie is Soundwave’s kink.
Also, he’s now officially reduced his tolerance quota for morons in the stream.
One of Prowl’s alternates showed up at the stream; he’s disappointed he didn’t get a chance to talk to her. Perhaps next time.
Today
ItsyBitsySpyers 7:55 pm
*Ravage is standing at the door to Dancitron, ready to sniff everyone as they come through. If you have a single roach in you, prepare to be thrown out.*
*In the meantime, Soundwave is parked on his usual couch, quickly polishing off the last of his own snacks before anyone arrives. Don't worry; he'll be done in time. You won't get a chance to see his face.*
Specs 7:57 pm
*the only way roaches could be in the dragon is if she ate them, which she's happy to do. meanwhile, the cart is back, piled high with heartfelt but not particularly effective attempts at energon cookies and mercury cakes shaped like musical instruments. she tried, really!* Hello, Ravage!
Sludge 7:58 pm
*Sludge prooooobably does not contain cockroaches. but if he does, uh, good luck kicking him out?*
Swoop 7:59 pm
*slides to a stop and scampers to the door still in ptero-mode*
ItsyBitsySpyers 7:59 pm
((one sec we got a technical problem to work out))
Sludge 7:59 pm
*then again, he's not so big compared to some of the rest here. still bigger than Ravage, though.*
Swoop 7:59 pm
((np the dinos can dino in the mean time))
VProwl 7:59 pm
*Skips straight past the sniff-test so thoroughly he didn't even notice it was there. The benefits of an avatar.*
Swoop 8:00 pm
*skitters between Sludge's legs, cackling all the while*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:00 pm
*Ravage sniffs the dragon from head to tail, all of the cart, and ... steals one of the instrument cakes before his Boss can lay silent claim to them.* =You may pass, eh?=
Sludge 8:00 pm
😧
*and thud*
Swoop 8:00 pm
*VICTORY SHRIEKS and jumps on Sludge*
Sludge 8:01 pm
*Sludge's legs do not GO far enough apart to be skittered through. sorry about the shaking..... Cybertron?*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:01 pm
=You. Large one. Come here.=
Sludge 8:01 pm
Ummmm....
Specs 8:01 pm
Appreciated. *Ravage can have as many treats as he wants, for being a Good Ravage. she'll take care of putting the rest away.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:01 pm
*Soundwave startles at Prowl and gets up to scold him for not going through the door to be sniffed before remembering that Prowl is an avatar. This is awkward. He'll just... slowly sit back down. And ping hello.*
Swoop 8:01 pm
*throws himself over Sludge's shoulders like the wiggliest shawl*
Sludge 8:02 pm
You Swoop heavy.
Swoop 8:02 pm
nuh UH
Sludge 8:02 pm
*it fine tho it fine he's gettin up he can handle*
VProwl 8:03 pm
*pings back* ... You don't need to stand on my account, you know. *he's very ???*
Sludge 8:03 pm
*just give him about 18 seconds to get his giant ass feet back under him*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:03 pm
*Ravage growls. They're holding up the door. He heads toward Sludge and snaps.* =BE QUIET AND STAND STILL.=
Sludge 8:04 pm
Umm....
Swoop 8:04 pm
*kicks his little birdy feet in the air*
Sludge 8:04 pm
*was he.... being loud? he didn't even notice*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:05 pm
[[...He knows. He was going to scan you for - never mind. He forgot you were an avatar.]]
*He's gonna just try to get Swoop and Sludge sniffed together at the same time. It'll be easier than trying to wrangle the pterodactyl separately, anyway.*
Swoop 8:05 pm
Sludge at a MOVIE! Dinobot movie time!
Sludge 8:06 pm
Uhhh... it Dinobot movie?
Swoop 8:06 pm
DUNNO
But now there LOT OF DINOBOTS aaaaaaaaaat movie : >
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:06 pm
=Hm. You two smell... disgusting. But no bugs. Inside.=
Sludge 8:06 pm
*counts*
*one...... two............. yes, okay, that is a lot.*
*clomps in*
Tarantulas 8:07 pm
*small spider is coming through the door... by way of the ceiling. sorry ravage, he's skipping the line*
Swoop 8:07 pm
*has no idea what this bug business is about but he has a TOL perch so he's happy*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:07 pm
((is the sound being laggy for anyone else? it was being fine when i tested it earlier 😐 ))
VProwl 8:08 pm
((working fine here))
Bull 8:08 pm
*Instead of Magnum Ace asking for permission in, it was Bull Armor today*
Swoop 8:08 pm
((not terribly))
Specs 8:08 pm
((it seems to be working for me))
VProwl 8:08 pm
*Well. Prowl can guess what they're watching tonight.*
Bull 8:08 pm
((No problems here))
Swoop 8:09 pm
*pat pat pat pats at Sludge with his wings* Look! It, uh, RIPLEY movie.
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:09 pm
*There's a bridge, but it'll be outside the door. Bull gets sniffed with everyone else. Twice. He's from Earth.*
*Tarantulas will get a light scolding as soon as he's not tiny.*
Sludge 8:10 pm
Ummmmkay. Like him believe or not?
Specs 8:10 pm
*it's probably a good thing that the dragon is just finishing up putting her treats in the designated area- if that minispide is tiny enough to eat, he'd be getting more of the predator routine than she'd feel okay about upon realizing it was him.*
Bull 8:10 pm
*Bull headed through, tired from a long day*
Tarantulas 8:10 pm
*eat the spide and get blasted from the inside*
Rinky 8:10 pm
-Bull may want to turn around-
Specs 8:10 pm
*she's only about the size of a fox, he's PROBABLY safe. probably.*
Sludge 8:10 pm
*Swoop's perch is going to go stand by the back wall*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:11 pm
*Not until Bull got sniffed he didn't. Ravage will cuff him back into his place in line with a paw.*
Tarantulas 8:11 pm
*he's about a foot wide. ambitious prey*
Rinky 8:11 pm
-Because this one followed after him, and just...froze at the sight of the crowd-
Sludge 8:11 pm
*it's an okay wall. not orange or rocky.*
VProwl 8:11 pm
*... wouldn't be surprised if this is ALL they're watching tonight. xenomorph music videos.*
Bull 8:11 pm
*Bull didn't notice he had been followed until he was already through* Rinky?! *oh scrap*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:11 pm
((ten minute warning y'all))
Specs 8:11 pm
*she's just draconic enough to try, but fortunately, preoccupied enough to not notice. the spide is safe.*
Tarantulas 8:12 pm
(( omg how did i not think that alien mmds would be a thing
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:12 pm
((and this one's just because MMDs are my sense of humor))
Rinky 8:12 pm
Bull...what's going on?
Specs 8:12 pm
((jasgdajsda))
Sludge 8:13 pm
[[ where's drift when pyramidhead is dancing ]]
Rinky 8:13 pm
-referring to the line and those in it-
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:13 pm
*SNIFF. SNIFF. SNIFF.*
*Bull and Rinky smell badly of Earth, but not of roaches. Ravage lets them pass.*
Rinky 8:14 pm
-Don't mind him, he's stuck close to Bull now-
VProwl 8:14 pm
((if drift was here he'd totally immediately decide to learn the dance.))
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:14 pm
*Soundwave looks out through the doors to see who else is coming and - ah, scrap. She really meant that.*
@P: [[...You'll have a good night tonight. He might not. Sadly.]]
Rinky 8:14 pm
((Ace isn't here, things went pear-shaped in his timeline
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:14 pm
@Tarantulas: [[You bypassed the roach test.]]
Prowl 8:14 pm
*is it fashionably late if you waited until the last minute to ask if you could go?*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:15 pm
((edited. idk why i thought i saw ace's name))
Bull 8:15 pm
*Oh Magnum was gonna kill him later* Uh... Its, complicated. I'll explain after we get inside. *It was always safer once they could get on a table*
Tarantulas 8:15 pm
@SW: ::Roach test? Do explain.::
Rinky 8:15 pm
((cuz I play Ace too? Maybe?
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:15 pm
@T: [[...No. Go see Ravage.]]
Bull 8:15 pm
((Only cause Bull knows Magnum is gonna kill him later for Rinky following him XD))
Specs 8:16 pm
*the dragon loafs comfortably on a couch and nods at Other Prowl- then she does a double take, looking at Soundwave's Prowl and back to Other Prowl. it's hard to differentiate when you are small and fuzzy.*
Rinky 8:16 pm
B-but...safer? This doesn't look safer! -gestures to the larger mechs-
VProwl 8:16 pm
@Soundwave «No? Even with xenomorphs?»
Prowl 8:16 pm
*either way, she's here and she'll opt for an empty seat near the door*
Rinky 8:17 pm
((enter button you pos
Bull 8:17 pm
They make sure to watch their steps; still better to get up. *He lead Rinky up one of the tables*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:17 pm
*Ravage cuffs Prowl just as hard as Bull. Harder maybe. He doesn't like her. Obvious reasons.* =BACK IN LINE.=
*Bob is... a bug, himself. Ravage isn't sure how to classify that. He doesn't look roach-shaped, though, so since he's clean internally, he's free to come in.*
Rinky 8:18 pm
Where are we? Do Owner and Coach know? They're already worried with what happened last week, this can't be good
Prowl 8:18 pm
*didn't even realize the feline was there, but that's a good reminder* Fine.
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:18 pm
*Soundwave looks at Prowl and just. Curls a feeler over in his alternate's direction. That should explain it.*
Swoop 8:19 pm
*pat pat pat pat pat pat pat at Sludge*
VProwl 8:19 pm
*looks over.* @S «... Aha. Too much of a good thing?»
Swoop 8:19 pm
Us go treats with BOB
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:19 pm
@P: [[You could say that.]]
Bob 8:19 pm
*waves at Swoop*
*Waves at the brother of Swoop*
Swoop 8:19 pm
*waves at Bob*
((are bob's wings still out? XD))
Bob 8:20 pm
((Yep))
Sludge 8:20 pm
*gentle shove at too much patting. gentle-ish.*
Swoop 8:20 pm
((adorable))
Bob 8:20 pm
((Never figured out how to put them back))
Swoop 8:20 pm
*OOF and now he's on the floor*
*but laughing all the way*
Bull 8:20 pm
*Immediately Bull Armor shhed Rinky.* No, they do not know and we don't tell them. It gets complicated. *He sighed before explaining* Magnum accidentally found this place and I ended up following one time.
Sludge 8:20 pm
*and Sludge's shoulders are freeeeeee*
Bob 8:20 pm
*Lopes over to Dino's*
*Get's a terrible idea*
Tarantulas 8:21 pm
*descends on thread onto verdigrisprowl's shoulder - he's heavy enough to feel but only by a small amount*
Swoop 8:21 pm
*lets himself go all the way down so he can transform and handspring back up*
Sludge 8:21 pm
*not like he ever needs to worry about being top heavy but. BUT. Swoop heavy.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:21 pm
*Ravage makes a big show of sneering and making the No Banana Cat faces at Prowl while he sniffs at her. He even goes so far as to affect a sneeze. But he can't decline when he knows she isn't contaminated.*
=Bah. In.=
Bull 8:21 pm
Basically all the mechs around; or pretty much all *he wasn't sure about everyone* are sentient mechs from other worlds.
Swoop 8:21 pm
*SLUDGE U TAKE THAT BACK SWOOP IS A FEATHER LIGHT ATHLETE*
Sludge 8:21 pm
*HEAVY*
Rinky 8:21 pm
-deathly silence from him- But why not? Shouldn't they know? And...
Bob 8:21 pm
*Bob concurs. Best projectile*
Sludge 8:21 pm
*FAT BIRD*
Swoop 8:21 pm
*how dare*
Rinky 8:22 pm
And you're joking. You have to be.
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:22 pm
((we'll start in just a sec i ran out of music and forgot to grab snacks for my pills, gimme like 3 min))
Specs 8:22 pm
*the dragon cranes her neck to peer at Bob* You look different. New molt?
VProwl 8:22 pm
*oh. hello there. tilts helm toward Tarantulas in greeting.*
Bob 8:22 pm
WHAT IS A MOLT
Swoop 8:22 pm
Bob Bob Bob! You show Sludge WINGS!
Sludge 8:22 pm
*what if Sludge climbed up on YOUR shoulders how would you like that, huh*
Bull 8:22 pm
They have enough problems as it is. How would explaining this place help them? *sighs* And no... it's not a joke.
Bob 8:22 pm
*Turns in place*
Swoop 8:22 pm
*he wouldn't like it, he wouldn't like anything, he would be dead*
Sludge 8:22 pm
*he won't because he cannot climb. BUT WHAT IF HE DID.*
Bob 8:22 pm
*Smacks Swoop with wings by accident*
Swoop 8:22 pm
>.O
Bob 8:22 pm
I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO UNDO THEM

*giggles*
VProwl 8:23 pm
@T «... If you're looking for somewhere to perch, my legs are more stable than my shoulder.»
Swoop 8:23 pm
No no! Don't UNDO wings! Wings are THE BEST!!!!!!
Prowl 8:23 pm
*it's a good thing she can't see the expression and the sneeze is dismissed as dust she may have missed, so she just nods and finally does take that seat, this is still better than trying to visit Maccadam's. Somehow*
Sludge 8:23 pm
Uhhh.. me Sludge think them pretty.
Bob 8:23 pm
BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE THEM WORK =<
Swoop 8:24 pm
pretty AWESOME
Rinky 8:24 pm
-wild gestures to the large mechs around them- Bull Armor! This is insane!
Bob 8:24 pm
THEY DO NOT LOOK LIKE THE SWOOPING FRIEND'S WINGS
AND THEY DO NOT LOOK LIKE THE JET FRIENDS' WINGS
AND THEY DO NOT DO ANY OF THE THINGS. EXCEPT FOR KNOCKING OVER ALL OF THE THINGS
Swoop 8:24 pm
You BOB not look like Swoop or Aerialbots or Skyfire or anyone else SO them Bob wings : >
Specs 8:24 pm
A molt is when you shed your carapace, and get more carapace. *the dragon ducks her head in embarrassment* I guess you don't do that.
Sludge 8:24 pm
You Bob not Dinobot. *so why would he have wings like Swoop, obviously.*
Bob 8:24 pm
I YAWNED
Specs 8:24 pm
((I am sorry for slowness a GOBLIN PRINCESS wants to send you messages))
Bob 8:24 pm
AND THEN WINGS
Tarantulas 8:25 pm
@T: ::You'd be surprised how good a grip these tarsi have.::
*being smaller means no one notices him, cough cough*
Rinky 8:25 pm
What if we get stuck here? Or injured? What do we tell them then?
Swoop 8:25 pm
*mock yawns and flares his wings out to demonstrate Bob's story*
Bob 8:25 pm
BUT THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME WHAT A MOLT IS. THIS IS A NEW THING LEARNED
Specs 8:25 pm
That's... Fascinating. *the dragon looks unnerved by the idea of suddenly spouting wings, though* You're very welcome, Bob.
Bob 8:25 pm
YES
*Bob is still very unnerved by it to be fair*
Swoop 8:25 pm
*pats the nearest wing*
Sludge 8:25 pm
Me Sludge not gonna yawn nothing.
Bob 8:26 pm
*Full body wiggles away from the touch*
Sludge 8:26 pm
*does not want wings to pop out from yawning*
Bob 8:26 pm
*Still so weird*
Swoop 8:26 pm
You Sludge need BIGGEST WINGS IN THE WOOOOOOOOOOORLD to pick up all you SLUDGE keheheheheheh
VProwl 8:26 pm
*... okay. no lap spider. sigh.* @T «I believe you.»
Swoop 8:26 pm
:V
Bull 8:26 pm
*Bull gently but firmly pulls Rinky's arms down* Rinky I need you to calm down; we can get back. This is a place to relax and watch movies. After the movies Magnum and I have always returned.
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:26 pm
((OKAY sorry for the delay let's do this))
Swoop 8:26 pm
*is so very VERY tempted to grab at Bob's wings now*
Bob 8:27 pm
*Oblivious*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:27 pm
[[Swoop. You. Before we start: Have you decided not to punch anyone, start fights, kick, slap, burn, or otherwise be terrible to other guests?]]
Sludge 8:27 pm
Me Sludge just need Skyfire wings.
Swoop 8:27 pm
*but the tiniest baby voice inside him holds him back because he has SHRIEKED at other (dino) people for being too rough on his wings*
*the BABIEST of moral dilemmas*
Bull 8:27 pm
((running to get some sweet revenge; need it after the day))
Bob 8:28 pm
I HAVE BROUGHT THE BAND AIDS JUST IN CASE
Swoop 8:28 pm
You Bob show Sunstreaker wings?
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:28 pm
((WARNINGS: Flashing lights and unfortunately I do not remember when, blood and violence and death, threats of physical punishment for kids, couple incidents of racist or sexist comments, language.))
Bob 8:28 pm
THE CARETAKER SAW THEM
Swoop 8:28 pm
You show Ratchet wings?
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:28 pm
[[SWOOP.]]
Bob 8:28 pm
YES
Swoop 8:28 pm
HI
It me
Swoop
Bob 8:28 pm
HE'S SWOOP
Swoop 8:28 pm
Yah
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:28 pm
[[Once more - before we start: Have you decided not to punch anyone, start fights, kick, slap, burn, or otherwise be terrible to other guests?]]
Bull 8:28 pm
((ok back))
Swoop 8:28 pm
Nahhhh
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:29 pm
[[Then goodnight.]]
*And into a bridge you'll go.*
Swoop 8:29 pm
:V
Bob 8:29 pm
!!!!
Sludge 8:29 pm
Him Swoop do those always.
Swoop 8:29 pm
*is gone*
Prowl 8:29 pm
@Soundwave: What movie is this? *she's accesses a database of audio descriptions*
Specs 8:29 pm
*begone, Swoop*
Bob 8:29 pm
D=
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:29 pm
@SC-Prowl: [[Aliens.]]
Rinky 8:29 pm
((hoi
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:29 pm
*Ravage will just walk up to Tarantulas and smell him there, since he never went to the door.*
Bob 8:29 pm
*Gonna hunker down by Sludge then*
Prowl 8:30 pm
*she pings a thank you and downloads the appropriate file*
Sludge 8:30 pm
😄
Rinky 8:30 pm
-is making a valiant attempt at calming down-
Sludge 8:30 pm
[[ rabbit wtf u doin i specifically wanted a c : smiley ]]
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:31 pm
[[...Bull Armor and friend, you may not enjoy this one. He apologizes. You may both use the screen upstairs to watch something else if it disturbs you. Remember not to attempt entering the other rooms.]]
Rinky 8:31 pm
Okay...okay....
Wait. What?
Who?
Bull 8:31 pm
Thanks Soundwave *Though he really didn't need Rinky hearing that
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:31 pm
((DISREGARD THE NAME USE i'm tired and half-functioning))
Tarantulas 8:31 pm
*is sniffed, was hoping to avoid being sniffed by just ignoring soundwave*
Swoop 8:32 pm
((god this movie is awesome))
Rinky 8:32 pm
Who was that?
Sludge 8:32 pm
*points at screen* It sparkle.
Bull 8:32 pm
That was Soundwave; he runs this place. *atleast from what he understood*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:32 pm
*Ravage prods the spider gently with a clawtip before deciding that's just. Spider smell. He can stay.*
VProwl 8:32 pm
*stiffens, raising a hand to half shield Tarantulas.* Excuse me?
Specs 8:32 pm
*the dragon looks over to see what Ravage is doing. suddenly, she is statue-still, save for the thumping of the barest tip of her tail. she sees a spide.*
Tarantulas 8:32 pm
*almost prods ravage back but decides better of it*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:32 pm
[[A threat was called in. Ravage is checking everyone.]]
Prowl 8:33 pm
What kind of threat?
Sludge 8:33 pm
[[ shit is that guy freehanding those hela straight lines ]]
VProwl 8:33 pm
... Ah.
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:33 pm
[[An infestation of vermin.]]
Rinky 8:33 pm
-sort of shakes Bull- What was that? I don't have my comms on
VProwl 8:33 pm
*as long as Ravage isn't trying to eat Tarantulas or something.*
Prowl 8:33 pm
Vermin?
Tarantulas 8:33 pm
*it's not ravage we have to worry about, prowl*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:33 pm
*And get all that hair stuck in his throat? Ugh.*
Bull 8:34 pm
He, umm, doesn't speak through comms but directly *he taps his helm as if to convey what he meant*
Specs 8:34 pm
*she is small, but she is deadly. the bane of arthropods.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:34 pm
[[Vermin. Disgusting, infestation-loving, rapidly-breeding plagues upon existence.]]
VProwl 8:34 pm
What kind of vermin?
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:34 pm
[[You may know them as cockroaches.]]
Rinky 8:34 pm
-That's NOT helping!-
Tarantulas 8:34 pm
*tarantulas is currently a foot wide. can u eat a 12in spider, specs*
Rinky 8:34 pm
-shakes him a bit more-
Prowl 8:34 pm
What is a cockroach?
Bob 8:35 pm
IT IS A BUG
FOUND ON THE EARTH HOME
VProwl 8:35 pm
*Prowl has a very vague conception of cockroaches. What he does know is "???????? Insects."*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:35 pm
[[A nigh-unkillable Earth insect that enjoys taking up residence in electronic items and secreting vile substances capable of corroding and destroying them. As well as doing other... organic things, in them.]]
Swoop 8:35 pm
((oh shit this is not a bob approved movie, is it? XD))
VProwl 8:35 pm
*he immediately concludes that Soundwave is talking about some sort of Insecticon swarm and tenses.* What kind of threat?
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:35 pm
((it absolutely is not))
Specs 8:35 pm
*if she's careful about it, and if the spider wasn't made of metal. her usual modus operandi for the large ones is pulling the legs off, and then cracking the carapce open.*
Bob 8:35 pm
((Not even a little))
Swoop 8:36 pm
((someone warn Sunstreaker that Bob has discovered xenomorphs XD))
Bull 8:36 pm
*so much for a relaxing night* Rinky, shaking me is not gotta help anything.
Prowl 8:36 pm
Would anything from Earth really be able to survive here? Even... cockroaches?
Bob 8:36 pm
THE COCKROACH BUGGIES ARE VERY SMALL
Tarantulas 8:36 pm
@P: ::They're not a threat, they're simply a pest.::
Bob 8:36 pm
THE CARLY FRIEND DOES NOT LIKE THEM
VProwl 8:36 pm
@T «He said he received a threat of vermin.»
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:36 pm
[[They have been introduced here and survived the visit before. It was horrible.]]
Tarantulas 8:37 pm
@P: ::He's exaggerating, though I'm not quite sure why.::
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:37 pm
[[And your Carly friend is quite wise.]]
Swoop 8:37 pm
((this is a bug hunt, man))
Bob 8:37 pm
SHE DOES NOT LOOK WELL
THE CARLY FRIEND IS VERY SMART. SHE WENT TO MIT
VProwl 8:37 pm
@T «How do you know? Were you listening in on whatever transmissions he received?»
Rinky 8:37 pm
-soft whine- I don't...!!!!
Swoop 8:37 pm
((bob needs an appointed hand holder XD))
Bob 8:37 pm
!!!
*Slowly scooching closer to Sludge*
Bull 8:38 pm
*Thankfully Bull is too dealing with Rinky to notice what was on the screen*
Sludge 8:38 pm
Uhh.
Tarantulas 8:38 pm
@P: ::No, all I know is that cockroaches are completely harmless to mechanical life.::
Rinky 8:38 pm
-trying to keep panic at being in a strange place down-
VProwl 8:38 pm
@T «That doesn't mean nobody threatened him with them. A threat to fill your home with harmless pests is still a threat.»
Specs 8:39 pm
*thump. thump. thump.*
VProwl 8:39 pm
@S «Who made the threat?»
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:39 pm
[[They can also cause dangerous overheating if they clog vents. Which was the threat. He was told over 38,000 would be put in his vents.]]
@P: [[...That is irrelevant.]] *Because he's not about to tell Prowl it was the roaches themselves.*
Bull 8:39 pm
Magnum and I have always come back. It's safe here. *much safer than other places Silver Castle had been*
Prowl 8:39 pm
If you receive further threats, you can call for assistance, you know.
VProwl 8:40 pm
@S «That's not irrelevant in the slightest! Your life was threatened.»
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:40 pm
[[You just want an excuse to explore his building.]]
@P: [[You would not believe him if he told you.]]
Prowl 8:40 pm
Hardly.
Rinky 8:40 pm
-He's never been to those other places-
VProwl 8:40 pm
@S «... Do you really think that low of me?»
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:41 pm
@P: [[No. He thinks the truth sounds that impossible to mechs who haven't seen what he's seen.]]
Rinky 8:42 pm
-just tightens his grip on Bull's arms-
VProwl 8:42 pm
@S «Impossible to someone who saw what I saw two weeks ago?»
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:43 pm
@P: [[You - haven't blocked that out?]]
Smokescreen 8:43 pm
Whoa Primus how much did I miss
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:43 pm
[[And you send Mirage here all the time. You'll forgive him if he doesn't trust your word.]]
Tarantulas 8:43 pm
*tarantulas HEARS that tail thumping. there's no denying that's the sound of an eager predator. didn't the dragon say she ate insects and - did she say spiders? damnit*
VProwl 8:43 pm
@S «What do you mean, blocked that— Do I seem like the kind of mech who blocks things out?»
Prowl 8:43 pm
Not very much, Smokescreen.
Smokescreen 8:43 pm
wait
what
Sludge 8:43 pm
Them got firepower. 😄
Specs 8:43 pm
*the dragon is the puffiest dragon. her eyes are dilated to hell. but she's Very Restrained about not jumping on Prowl and attacking*
VProwl 8:44 pm
@S «I want to know who threatened my amica.»
Specs 8:44 pm
*...this may not last*
Rinky 8:44 pm
-and now something clicks-
Smokescreen 8:44 pm
... You're a Prowl, right?
Rinky 8:44 pm
Bull...
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:44 pm
*Ravage has nothing to do now that he's sniffed everyo-- damn. Smokescreen. He'll -definitely- sniff that one. It'd be like them to use him as a vessel.*
*...No, clear. Good. He'll go curl up by the dragon now. Predator pile.*
Bull 8:44 pm
Yes?
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:44 pm
*Not touching, of course, because aloof. But near.*
Rinky 8:44 pm
You and Magnum come to these every Monday night?
Sludge 8:44 pm
*he's not catching much from all this but he DID hear state of the art firepower*
Smokescreen 8:44 pm
.... /Hey what? He's opening his mouth, trying to sniff Ravage!/
Prowl 8:44 pm
I am no longer Mirage's superior. If he's still here, it's his choice.
Bull 8:45 pm
Almost, missed a few recently. But we have been,
Smokescreen 8:45 pm
KITTY
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:45 pm
@P: [[..............The roaches.]]
Rinky 8:45 pm
.....is this why you two are always so tired Tuesday mornings?
VProwl 8:45 pm
@S «Yes. The person who sent the threat about the roaches.»
Prowl 8:45 pm
*not that it stops Mirage from telling her anything but she's not telling Soundwave that*
Bob 8:45 pm
SHE IS HAVING THE NIGHTMARES
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:45 pm
[[Arrest him, then. He's a trespasser. Maybe then he'll go to you when he needs assistance.]]
Prowl 8:45 pm
And yes, I am a Prowl.
Bull 8:46 pm
Sometimes. *Bull did admit. Some movie nights were more tiring than others. Depending on what happened*
Tarantulas 8:46 pm
*tarantulas rapidly crawls down off prowl's shoulder and into his lap, sizing up along the way. like hell is he getting eaten by an acquaintance and having to rip them from the inside out, he's done that already and as fun as it is, it definitely is a no-no*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:46 pm
@P: [[No. You misunderstand. It was the roaches themselves. He - Primus. It is a long story.]]
Smokescreen 8:46 pm
/Smokescreen's looking around to see if he can see Tarantulas- he's been worried about him, and wants to make sure he's okay today!/
Prowl 8:47 pm
*Prowl looks visibly conflicted about the idea of arresting Mirage*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:47 pm
@T: (txt): Tarantulas: well?
Specs 8:47 pm
*that neatly and efficiently solves the problem of the dragon- even if she does nearly jump out of her skin. and promptly look EXTREMELY ABASHED. you can't see her, her tail is over her eyes.*
VProwl 8:47 pm
*Oh! He got his lap spider after all. He immediately wraps both hands around Tarantulas.*
Rinky 8:47 pm
....
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:47 pm
*Soundwave's going to enjoy every moment of that visible conflict.*
Tarantulas 8:48 pm
*there. good. protected. he'll remain lap-spide as long as permitted*
Smokescreen 8:48 pm
/... He's not looking at Prowl long enough to notice Tarantulas there/ Hey Sounds, have you seen Messy recently? I've been a little worried about him.
VProwl 8:48 pm
*As if Prowl's letting him go. After the week they had?*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:48 pm
[[He doesn't know any Messy.]]
Rinky 8:48 pm
....so I'm not going to be telling Owner or Coach about this, am I?
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:49 pm
((VASQUEEEEEZ))
Tarantulas 8:49 pm
(( *SWEATS*
Smokescreen 8:49 pm
You know. Tarantulas?
Bull 8:49 pm
It's not recommended; can you imagine how they would react.
Specs 8:49 pm
((vasquez is beautiful and I'm going to melt))
Bull 8:49 pm
*Or how Magnum was gonna react knowing Rinky now knew about this place*
VProwl 8:50 pm
*No, his fingers are getting as deep into Tarantulas's fuzz as they can. It's proportionally shorter when Tarantulas is smaller. And denser. And finer. An entirely new texture. Amazing.*
Rinky 8:50 pm
But....
I don't...
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:50 pm
((ugh i forgot this whole conversation, i woulda warned))
Smokescreen 8:50 pm
.... OH I remember doing that kinda thing before
Bob 8:51 pm
!!!
THAT WAS STRESSFUL
Rinky 8:51 pm
-he's not good at keeping secrets-
Smokescreen 8:51 pm
But Sounds- have you heard from Tarantulas at all? I'm kinda worried about him, he was really- anyway, have you heard anything? God or bad?
good
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:52 pm
[[You could ask him yourself.]]
Smokescreen 8:52 pm
But he's not here.
Bull 8:52 pm
Just, please, don't say anything to anyone else. Only me and Magnum know of this place.
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:52 pm
[[So comm him.]]
Rinky 8:52 pm
...are you seriously asking me to keep a secret from Silkie?
VProwl 8:53 pm
*Tarantulas is getting a hell of a massage.*
Bull 8:53 pm
*The last thing he needed with Top Joy finding out*
Smokescreen 8:53 pm
... I figured if he wasn't here, he wanted to be left alone.
Tarantulas 8:53 pm
*GOOD. best massage*
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:53 pm
*Is vaguely relieved Prowl hasn't questioned him beyond the long story comment. And not surprised that his own Prowl hasn't made up her mind about Mirage. Will mostly focus on the film.*
VProwl 8:53 pm
((oh right i forgot to continue that conversation))
Prowl 8:53 pm
((lol
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:54 pm
((HECK))
VProwl 8:54 pm
((THAT WASN'T ON PURPOSE))
Bull 8:54 pm
*Oh Silkie... he really didn't want him knowing* Yes... I know that's hard but Magnum doesn't want anyone else to know either.
Bob 8:54 pm
((pfft))
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:55 pm
*Such an efficient organic. <3 The tiniest, softest, near inaudible puff of a sigh.*
Rinky 8:55 pm
/How!?/
Rinky 8:55 pm
-hope Bulls still has hold of his arms, or there would be more wild flailing-
VProwl 8:56 pm
@S «... The roaches themselves threatened you.»
Smokescreen 8:56 pm
/In any case, he's gonna sit next to the Prowl that looks like he's from his kind of universe!/
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:57 pm
*Damn.*
@P: [[He did tell you it was almost impossible to believe.]]
VProwl 8:57 pm
@S «......... I wasn't aware any beings on Earth were capable of intelligent thought and speech besides humans and penguins.»
Bull 8:57 pm
Everyone else is busy, worried about Jurota and that mess. No one is gonna be asking about where we went and if they do I'll answer.
Prowl 8:57 pm
*nods to the new addition to her otherwise empty table*
Rinky 8:59 pm
Well, yeah, that mess...is a bit distracting, but you know Silkie has a long memory, and he's not gonna let it drop, and I'm terrible at lying
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:00 pm
*And peng--? He's not going to ask. He'll ask that later.*
@P: [[He does not know what humans consider them to be, but he can understand them. A curse from some time ago, not so different from the - from the eldritch fruit. He was temporarily made their... er. Royalty.]] *Slight armor clamp.* [[And given the ability to understand them. They haven't forgotten.]]
[[They've found him and woken him up at night. They've brought him GIFTS, Prowl. A lava lamp, once.]]
VProwl 9:01 pm
@S «... They regard you as royalty? As /royalty/? They bring you /gifts/?»
Bull 9:01 pm
Hopefully he'll wait until Magnum's back... he's better at keeping things a secret than I am.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:01 pm
@P: [[Do you want the footage? He can give it to you. He'll hand it to you right now.]]
VProwl 9:02 pm
@S «Later.» *right now there's a movie on.* «If they consider you royalty, why are they threatening to kill you?»
Smokescreen 9:02 pm
Hey- I don't think I've seen your face around here before, Prowl. What's your universe like? Am I there? What kinda stuff do you do? You want a snack?
VProwl 9:02 pm
*he keeps hearing Smokescreen say his name and he Hates it. His alternate has his sympathy/pity.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:02 pm
@P: [[They want to nest in him. He doesn't - he doesn't know if they understand what that will do. Maybe they do. Earth insects are odd.]]
Rinky 9:02 pm
Hopefully...I really don't want to try lying to his face...
Specs 9:03 pm
*there are dragon-made snacks. they're very good. everyone should try some.*
Bob 9:03 pm
*perks*
VProwl 9:03 pm
@S «... Well you're their royalty, why don't you tell them nesting in you would be fatal and you won't allow it?»
Specs 9:03 pm
*or, they're her usual quality. your mileage may vary- she bakes to Soundwave and Crew's tastes*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:03 pm
@P: [[Because then it would give them an idea if they want to depose him?]]
*...He resists the urge to facepalm. He can't believe he said that.*
Smokescreen 9:03 pm
/He WAS thinking of asking boxier Prowl about Tarantulas- but he thought it'd be a bad idea and didn't want to make things more complicated!/
VProwl 9:04 pm
@S «Then why don't you just tell them you'd hate it and you would rather they nest elsewhere?»
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:04 pm
*.......................................*
@P: [[..................Because he hadn't thought of it.]]
VProwl 9:05 pm
@S «... Well. There you go.»
Bull 9:05 pm
Yeah. I don't blame you on that.
Specs 9:05 pm
((honestly, god bless Prowl and Soundwave's entire relationship and also selves. you two are gr8))
Prowl 9:05 pm
*the corners of her mouth tighten* I am from this universe. Your alternate does exist here. I am the police commissioner for New Praxus. *she doesn't trust any food from anyone in this building* No.
VProwl 9:05 pm
((aw thanks ;v;))
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:06 pm
(("I'm dating a spider and a member of roach royalty. ... Yeah, okay."))
VProwl 9:06 pm
*hold up. HOLD UP. prowl has just realized he can lace his fingers between Tarantulas's legs and it's like holding hands with him. he's gonna try it. carefully. his legs are probably very delicate at this size.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:06 pm
*Soundwave will try telling the roaches that AFTER the movie. They're into The Best Part now.*
Smokescreen 9:07 pm
Oh? Wait, from this one? Like, with Sounds over there? Cool! I was in this universe for a little while- it's not too bad. I'm from a similar universe, but we don't have a New Praxus yet- I'll probably have to talk to the bot that's in charge about that soon.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:07 pm
*He slowly loosens up again and leans forward, lacing his fingers together and resting his chin on them.*
Smokescreen 9:07 pm
And fair enough! More for me. /Stuffing his face!/
Rinky 9:07 pm
...I'm just surprised he hasn't gone after you two yet.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:08 pm
[[Oh, don't be paranoid. He serves hundreds of mechs every weekend and nearly a dozen every Monday and none of them have died from consuming fuel here.]]
Bull 9:08 pm
I think he tried to get Magnum but you know how he is.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:08 pm
[[A few have perished from natural causes elsewhere, or the wars they're still in, or on one occasion, wandering into the canyon when he told them it was metallipede season, but none of those things are his fault.]]
Rinky 9:09 pm
Slippery as an eel when he wants to be?
Bull 9:09 pm
Heh, that's a good way to put it.
Specs 9:09 pm
*the dragon looks at Other Prowl, clearly (in dragon body language) hurt and offended* I wouldn't poison anything I gave to friends. That would be- that would be unthinkable.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:10 pm
*Acid for blood. <3 Which reminds him of what Prowl said, about his acid defense systems and whatnot. What a good amica. <3 *
Tarantulas 9:10 pm
*legs n fingers are laced!!! at first tarantulas freaks out a little and tries to wiggle free since he's being immobilized, but he settles down soon enough. it's basically handholding rite*
Rinky 9:10 pm
That explains why Silky was so frustrated that day.
VProwl 9:12 pm
*if he tries to wiggle free, Prowl will let him go; but if he calms down before Prowl can separate them, Prowl's staying.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:12 pm
[[They captured so many. Not bad, for colonists.]]
Specs 9:13 pm
And here we have a testament to bad ideas. *snarky dragon commentary is subdued- she's still SERIOUSLY hurt by Other Prowl's comment*
Prowl 9:13 pm
Praxus was only chosen for development because we already had a community there.
Smokescreen 9:13 pm
... Hey, also, Sounds. Since I didn't get the chance to say this in-person, sorry for thinking you were the one that fragged with my helm last week. You're pretty good for a not-friend.
SOUNDWAVE HAS FALLEN I
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:14 pm
[[You're forgiven. And... thank you.]]
Smokescreen 9:14 pm
Fair enough! I guess I haven't checked if Praxus has a community here at all- with everything else happening, I haven't had the chance to.
Prowl 9:15 pm
I am not worried about dying from consuming anything here. I'm worried about being served the same thing you gave to Elita.
VProwl 9:15 pm
*his thumbs are still free. ... rubs his thumbs on tarantula's back.*
Smokescreen 9:15 pm
.... Wait, to Elita?
Tarantulas 9:15 pm
*clicks and churrs*
Specs 9:15 pm
*pfff. human deserved that. has teeth, will bite*
VProwl 9:15 pm
*oh! does it more.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:16 pm
[[A Gaugebuster? And have you invent a reason to arrest him?]]
[[You can stick to the regular fuel like everyone else.]]
Prowl 9:17 pm
*scowls* I don't need to invent reasons.
Rinky 9:17 pm
......
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:17 pm
*That poor youngling.*
[[Ravage has found a few living in the Underworld like this one has done. They do not all find their way out of the Well so easily.]]
Smokescreen 9:17 pm
... Wait what did Sounds do this time
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:17 pm
[[He hasn't done ANYTHING.]]
Prowl 9:17 pm
Nothing.
*yet*
Rinky 9:17 pm
...um...Bull?
Smokescreen 9:17 pm
Oh... Dang, I was hoping for a story
Bull 9:17 pm
yeah?
Specs 9:18 pm
*the docents usually find it easier to manage children with snacks and music*
VProwl 9:18 pm
*no change on the outside. but on the inside, his hackles are slowly rising.*
Smokescreen 9:18 pm
You know- one time, he shocked me to recharge so much, my optics fragged up.
Rinky 9:18 pm
I think we missed most of the movie?
VProwl 9:18 pm
*threaten HIS amica why don't you.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:18 pm
[[You asked him to do it. Don't invent troubles for him.]]
Bull 9:19 pm
At least a good bit; but we can see how the rest goes.
Prowl 9:19 pm
...
Tarantulas 9:19 pm
*tarantulas is still making happy spide noises. just pay attention to that, vprowl*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:19 pm
*Has been listing to Bull and the other one for a while now; decides to pipe up at them.*
[[He can provide you both a summary if you require one.]]
Smokescreen 9:19 pm
I asked you to do it again last night, but you already went to recharge.
VProwl 9:19 pm
*he'll try. he keeps petting.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:19 pm
[[Then why are you presenting the matter like a complaint?]]
Rinky 9:20 pm
-nearly jumps out of his plating at that-
Smokescreen 9:20 pm
... I was looking for some reason you might be in trouble? That's the only thing off the top of my head though
Bull 9:20 pm
Easy Rinky; that's just Soundwave again.
Rinky 9:20 pm
....I don't know how you're used to that...
Prowl 9:21 pm
If you consented to it, there's nothing criminal about it.
Bull 9:21 pm
You get use to it, eventually.
Tarantulas 9:21 pm
*dissection!!! yaaay*
Bob 9:21 pm
*Dissection, noooooo*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:21 pm
*Ha. For once, his own Prowl is on his side. It's. It's a weird feeling.*
*He's not sure he likes it.*
Specs 9:21 pm
*the horrible paradox between "delicious bug" and "made of acid"*
Bob 9:21 pm
*Bob has been hunkered down, staring wide opticed at the screen this entire time*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:21 pm
*...He's going to lean on the one he's dating to get rid of the feeling. And also because Soundwave likes him.*
Smokescreen 9:21 pm
Yeah! I figured! Still. What IS he in trouble for? Too noisy?
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:21 pm
((i saw that lmao))
Specs 9:21 pm
((prowl?))
Bob 9:21 pm
((I'm tired and wires crossed XD))
Smokescreen 9:22 pm
... Is terrorizing a bot with feelers a crime?
VProwl 9:22 pm
*slightly leans back.*
Prowl 9:22 pm
Are you trying to get him arrested?
Smokescreen 9:22 pm
No?
Just curious!
Rinky 9:23 pm
-skeptical look at Bull- Says you
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:23 pm
*Where's Swoop when you need him to punch someone?*
Specs 9:23 pm
It's rude to be bigoted, but I've never really heard of it being called criminal. *she'll fight Other Prowl for you, Soundwave*
Bob 9:23 pm
*GOOD QUESTION*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:23 pm
*Soundwave sits up and looks at the dragon.* [[Excuse you. Did you just insult him?]]
Prowl 9:23 pm
If you'd like a copy of the city's laws, I'm happy to forward them to you.
Smokescreen 9:24 pm
You know? Sure! Might be good for reference for what we've got for my Cybertron.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:24 pm
[[Those laws do not apply to this part of Cybertron and you know it. You have no jurisdiction here and you never have.]] *That was why he built out here in the first place.*
Specs 9:24 pm
*the dragon blinks, confused* No? It's rude to be terrorizing people for having feelers. Why would that be an insult?
((OH SHIT. MISREAD.))
Smokescreen 9:24 pm
I don't actually know what laws are in place by Megatron anyway.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:24 pm
((keep it, this is a funnier misunderstanding))
Prowl 9:24 pm
*ping ping Smokescreen, hope you enjoy reading because Prowl helped write them*
Specs 9:24 pm
((whoops. keeping that, yeah. it's hilarious.))
Smokescreen 9:25 pm
/Oh Primus that's a lot/
VProwl 9:25 pm
((i read it as terrorizing a bot-with-feelers))
((not using feelers to terrorize a bot))
Specs 9:25 pm
((yeah, prowl gets it))
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:25 pm
*Soundwave settles back into his intrigued watch of the movie, satisfied.* [[He sees. Carry on, dragon. Extra cushion next week.]]
VProwl 9:25 pm
((it took me til now to realize that was what it was supposed to be))
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:25 pm
=Pulses.= *Ravage snort laughs.*
Specs 9:25 pm
*the dragon perks up, heart attack averted* O-oh! Thank you, Soundwave. *chirps happily. the happiest dragon is she*
Smokescreen 9:26 pm
But yeah- seriously, Sounds. For all your lying and slag, you're actually a pretty good not-friend, and I was gonna ask if you could help me with something for my Cybertron, but I know Megs would probably shoot down the idea.
Prowl 9:26 pm
And yes, I'm aware that Dancitron is not in my jurisdiction and New Praxus laws do not apply.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:27 pm
*...Curious perk.* [[What is it?]]
Smokescreen 9:27 pm
I mean- it's not worth getting you more curious. Like I said- Megs would probably HATE everything about the idea if it got too far.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:27 pm
[[That's why he's interested.]]
Smokescreen 9:28 pm
... I'll ping you.
But. Hypothetically, if you wanted to help search these coordinates for different relics- you know. That kinda thing.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:28 pm
[[...Hypothetically, excellent. But he'll wait for that ping.]]
Rinky 9:28 pm
-curious stare at the screen-....ew
Smokescreen 9:28 pm
@Soundwave: ::Allspark.::
Prowl 9:28 pm
*wait wait, she turns her helm in Smokescreen's direction* Megatron?
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:29 pm
*And there's his biolights pulsing once. That is some major approval.*
Bull 9:29 pm
*Bull has an idea what type of movie this is and braces for a jumpy lavender*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:29 pm
@Smokescreen: [[You have his interest. Send him more details later.]]
Smokescreen 9:29 pm
... Yeah. I know it sounds weird, Prowl. He took over my Cybertron and stuff. I'm making the best of it? And I can't like... Overthrow him on my own, so I'm sticking close to make sure he doesn't ruin everything.
Rinky 9:29 pm
-good thing, Rinky is up in Bull's personal space now-
Bob 9:29 pm
!!!!!!!!!!
*hunkering down*
*flattest bug*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:30 pm
*...They pulse again. Nobody mind that, please.*
Bob 9:30 pm
*Becoming one with the floor*

Smokescreen 9:30 pm
@Soundwave: ::Awesome! But I'm really not sure if it'd pull through. I mean, Megatron would probably fight you before he'd let you help. But I think you'd be a great help for something like this.::
Bull 9:30 pm
*thankfully Rinky his keeping him from jumping*
VProwl 9:30 pm
*minds it.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:30 pm
*Damn it.*
VProwl 9:30 pm

Bob 9:30 pm
*Distreeeeessed*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:30 pm

((the sound effects are suddenly louder than the dialogue))
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:31 pm
((i hate to pause but one sec))
((fuck. right at a tense point. lemme try to fix this))
Rinky 9:32 pm
-hope Bull doesn't mind him clinging to him-
Specs 9:32 pm
((yeah, it did for me too))
Prowl 9:33 pm
Megatron took over--then Optimus was killed in your universe as well.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:33 pm
((gdit. i'm sorry ya'll gimme a minute))
Smokescreen 9:34 pm
Yeah... We had Cybertron for a while, but then Megatron somehow came back to life and offlined him. I was in Sound's universe for a while, but- but I don't want his mistakes to cost me my home, you know?
VProwl 9:34 pm
*unlaces fingers and settles hands lightly on top of Tarantulas* @T «Would it be inconvenient for you to, roughly, triple your current size?»
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:35 pm
[["His mistakes"?]]
Smokescreen 9:35 pm
Megatron's.
Prowl 9:36 pm
What happened to the rest of the Autobots besides you?
Smokescreen 9:36 pm
You know. Offlining Optimus- and I didn't want him to throw dark energon into the allspark again or anything.
Tarantulas 9:36 pm
*peers up at prowl with a few optics* @P: ::Nnnnno? It might reveal my presence, but if it's what you'd like - ?::

Smokescreen 9:37 pm
... I'm not really sure. Some of them stayed here, I think, like Arcee? I know a few of them are still on Earth in my universe, though. Like the different Rescue Bots? I don't know what to tell them, though- they're happy now, and I don't want to take that away from them.

*Bull is also clinging to Rinky; not liking the monsters on screen*

@Soundwave: ::True! I didn't think you cared about my Cybertron that much. Thank you, Sounds- have you already found your allspark?::
Hey! Sounds, come on. Some rookies pull through.
Prowl 9:57 pm
At least they're alive, though I don't understand why none of them have tried to do anything. *she couldn't imagine the Autobots just letting Megatron take over*
Tarantulas 9:57 pm
*wiggles a little. spide is happ*
Windchill 9:58 pm
*There's more than one Prowl. His plating feels gross already.*
Smokescreen 9:58 pm
Megatron offlined Optimus in front of us, and we all went into hiding, or- the multiverse was there. We didn't have to stay.
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:58 pm
[[Rarely.]]
@Smokescreen: [[What you don't know about the things he cares about could fill the Iacon Hall of Records. And we restored ours years ago. That is why we have newbuilds.]]
Windchill 9:58 pm
*Still, that's not enough to deter him from sitting down, as he is stubborn.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 9:58 pm
*Ravage grumpily uncurls from his spot by the dragon and goes over to sniff Windchill for roaches.*
Windchill 9:58 pm
*Raises a brow.*

*He might smell kind of like roaches.*
*For secret reasons.*

Windchill 9:59 pm
Am I smelly?

*Ravage growls and bristles a little.*
=You. You harbor roaches?=
Windchill 9:59 pm
...Roaches?
Bull 9:59 pm
I hate the scary ones...
Smokescreen 9:59 pm
@Soundwave: ::... The Hall of Records, huh? Well, what else do you care about that I ought to know? And that's good! I wasn't sure- but I'm glad to hear that. Have you seen those documentaries where Unicron kinda comes back while they're getting the allspark? You think we'll be okay if that happens, right?::
Windchill 9:59 pm
*He's never even seen a roach in person.*
Prowl 10:00 pm
So many of them just left the universe entirely?

=Small Earth pest. Infestation threat.=
Rinky 10:00 pm
-small whine-
I'm going to have nightmares

I know what a roach is. I don't know why that's even a question.
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:01 pm
=You smell of them.=
Smokescreen 10:01 pm
I think- I think a bunch of them. Most of them. Ratchet might be on Earth? Same for Bee and Bulk, but everyone else? We pretty much ran as soon as we could to hide- since that's basically what happened last time.
VProwl 10:01 pm
*okay, there's a whining Earthling.* @S «Can you do something for the Earthlings? The new one sounds distressed. I'd go but I'm hiding Tarantulas.»

*Soundwave pings Bull a reminder of the offer to go upstairs.*
Windchill 10:01 pm
Do I? *he crooks a talon to tap his chin.*
Specs 10:01 pm
Smokescreen. If you finish that sentence about the xenomorphs in the way I am afraid you are going to, I will find a way to bite you and make it hurt.
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:01 pm
((mun is eating to take pills and will be slow))
Windchill 10:01 pm
Is it just my feet or all of me?
VProwl 10:01 pm
((o7))
Smokescreen 10:02 pm
I'm not finishing that sentence! Trust me. I don't need to be judged any more than I already am
Bull 10:02 pm
Soundwave just pinged me that we can go upstairs if you want. No scary movie up there
Rinky 10:02 pm
That...sounds like a better idea
Can we go now?
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:03 pm
@Smokescreen: [[He's seen them. If it happens... we will just have to deal with it and try our best.]]
=What do you think.=

I don't know, I'm not interested in smelling my own feet to find out.
Smokescreen 10:04 pm
@Soundwave: ::But- that's not a guarantee! You know. Megatron'll be there. Are you sure you'd be able to hold him off if Unicron controlled him? What do you think would be the best thing to do if that happened?::
Prowl 10:04 pm
Then it's good at least one Autobot remains on your planet.
Windchill 10:04 pm
Regardless, there's one of...twoooo explanations. Either I stepped on some roaches or it's a beetle smell.
Take your pick.
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:04 pm
=...Beetle smell?=
Smokescreen 10:05 pm
... One good Autobot?
Bull 10:05 pm
Yeah *Bull leads Rinky to the 'safer' room*
Windchill 10:05 pm
Beetle smell...for secret reasons.

There's a bot that came more recently- she almost assassinated Megatron, but we're friends!

-much better, they got out of this movie before this went down-
Windchill 10:06 pm
Her carrier.

*she recalled Windchill saying the worm was an insecticon, so this does not surprise her*
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:07 pm
@Smokey: [[He isn't sure. In his own world, he was only the second best gladiator in the Pits. Megatron was the first. But Megatron is weaker now, and - and he has contingency plans. Unpleasant ones. But plans. He cannot share them with you at this time.]]

That's as much as you lot need or want to know.
Prowl 10:08 pm
Then I suppose that makes two. Good luck to you both.
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:08 pm
=Ah.= *Ravage nods. He'll go back to the dragon then. A single roach comes out of Windchill and he's going into a sun, though.*
Windchill 10:08 pm
*At least warn him first, murdering someone over a roach seems a bit excessive.*
Specs 10:09 pm
*the dragon would have put her tail back over her eyes, but there's more talking than intestines on screen, so she'll rest her chin on her tail instead*
Smokescreen 10:10 pm
@Soundwave: ::Wait, you can't share? Soundwave- if you share them, I can make sure we can prepare for them, just in case. I don't want you to have to risk your life for my universe if there's another way.::
... You really think I'm a good Autobot? Thank you, Prowl.
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:11 pm
@Smokescreen: [[...He can't share.]] *It's not something he wants anyone else to know.* [[But if you want to prepare, yourself... know where all the other relics are, and how to quickly get hold of them. Especially the Matrix.]]

*He does that every time he watches this movie.*

You could have left your Cybertron permanently and you didn't.
Smokescreen 10:14 pm
@Soundwave: ::... If you say so. Wait, does this plan involve the matrix somehow? You aren't thinking about taking it or anything, right? Megatron has it right now, but- but I'm kinda reluctant to touch it, myself.::

Windchill 10:22 pm
I've only said that I was more times than I can count.
*Which isn't saying much, shhh.*
My spark would forcibly leave my frame if that were me.
I'd be so dead.

That's a lot of lightning, man.

*moves a little bit further away just in case he forgets again*
Smokescreen 10:43 pm
To be fair, it's an organic human that is the backstabbing jerk. Bishop
Bishop's great.
/... Is Bishop who Prowl was doing that *thing* over? ... Smokescreen's judging him a little./
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:44 pm
[[Bishop is. Ash and David, less so.]]

Then Ripley's belief the Xenomorphs won't have killed Newt is false. Though there's enough of a chance I don't fault her for going after her.

She's gotta get dressed for battle, man.
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:45 pm
*David is a scientific genius the likes of which Soundwave admires, but he knows the general population's feelings about people like that.*
VProwl 10:45 pm
She's improperly armored for a gunfight showdown with creatures that spew acid when shot.
Windchill 10:45 pm
Nobody said she had to dress well.
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:45 pm
[[That is why she is using flames instead.]]
Omicron 10:46 pm
*looks around finding a place to lay down, blinks at two prowls?*
Smokescreen 10:46 pm
Wouldn't armor make her overheat with the flames? Humans overheat pretty easily.
Prowl 10:46 pm
How is she dressed?
VProwl 10:46 pm
She also brought grenades and bullets, but if her primary weapon is going to be the flamethrower, good.
ItsyBitsySpyers 10:46 pm
* Ravage stretches, pads over to Ice Queen, and begins sniffing her for roaches. He really doubts he'll find any at this point, but one must be sure.*
Windchill 10:47 pm
More likely she'd end up coated in acid that she couldn't remove in time anyway, just like the other guy. Makes no difference what level of armour you're wearing if the acid goes through everything.

Typically, their armor is several layers of armor, plastic, or related material. A single thin layer of... I think that's plant matter? Probably plant matter—is much thinner than their usual combat attire.
Windchill 10:49 pm
*Answered the question by saying it didn't matter, so far as he's concerned. Oh well.*

Prowl don't take it so hard, it's not a spike
Windchill 11:10 pm
I'll suck off your whole head, man.
Agooddistraction 11:11 pm
Whoa whoa
Windchill 11:11 pm
I mean it.
Man.
Smokescreen 11:11 pm
.... why would
why would they make Optimus do this please
come on this isn't optimus prime this is...... pooptimus prick
Tarantulas 11:11 pm
*is sizing down and hiding better under prowl's bumper, he's not keen on what's going on right now*
VProwl 11:12 pm
*tightens embrace.*
Omicron 11:12 pm
*looks over at Prowl,* If my words offended I apologize Prowl. Drone is a blanket term where I'm from, its rarely used as an insult.
Bull 11:12 pm
*Bull pinged Soundwave that he was gonna head out with Rinki*
Windchill 11:13 pm
I've decided...
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:13 pm
*Soundwave opened a bridge for them upstairs and returned the majority of his attention to the conversation around him.*
VProwl 11:13 pm
Yes, I suspected as much. I'm not criticizing, just— educating.
Agooddistraction 11:13 pm
I sucked claws before
I didn't really wanna
Smokescreen 11:13 pm
....................
but why did you suck them
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:13 pm
[[He'd really rather not hear your exploits.]]
Bull 11:13 pm
((night everyone))
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:13 pm
[[There is something of a serious subject at hand.]]
Windchill 11:14 pm
I did and I liked it. Man.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:14 pm
((goodnight))
Smokescreen 11:14 pm
wheels can I sit on you
Agooddistraction 11:14 pm
Okay okay
Windchill 11:14 pm
Sorry your life sucks, man.
Omicron 11:14 pm
((rest well))
Agooddistraction 11:14 pm
I'll spare you
Rinky 11:14 pm
((and I'm out too, g'night!
Agooddistraction 11:14 pm
Yeah sure sit on me
Smokescreen 11:14 pm
/He's going over to sit on Wheeljack! Hey, this way, he won't get into more trouble, right? He feels like he owes Soundwave. Also Wheeljack looks comfy/
Agooddistraction 11:14 pm
*patpat*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:15 pm
((night!))
Agooddistraction 11:15 pm
Sorry I pissed off your boyfriend, mom
Smokescreen 11:15 pm
/Doorwings wiggle! And he's patting Wheeljack back/
Smokescreen 11:15 pm
... Wait boyfriend?
Omicron 11:15 pm
Racer: *might be inching his way over to soundwave*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:15 pm
*Not going to acknowledge this 'mom' comm-- damn it, Wheeljack. You couldn't have let Smokescreen be oblivious?*
*Soundwave reaches down and holds a hand out for Racer. Go on and climb up his arm if you like; it's a steady ramp.*
Prowl 11:16 pm
*ah good she's alone at the table*
Windchill 11:16 pm
I'm hungry.
*Raises a hand.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:16 pm
[[Yes?]]
Windchill 11:16 pm
How many people would complain if I ate Wheeljack's head? Put it in simple terms so that I can understand.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:17 pm
[[Both officers, he expects. And Ravage. He doubts you'd share.]]
VProwl 11:17 pm
*doesn't care. wheeljack has as much empirical evidence that prowl is soundwave's boyfriend as he has empirical evidence that soundwave is wheeljack's mom. the fact that he's right by accident doesn't mean he isn't simply being idiotic.*
Windchill 11:17 pm
Man.
Omicron 11:17 pm
Racer: =D! *scrables up and plops into a lap, he's much better at climbing now, and heaver, Icy watching from her spot*
Smokescreen 11:17 pm
Don't eat him!
Windchill 11:17 pm
So, just Smokescreen.
VProwl 11:17 pm
@S «One and a half officers.»
Smokescreen 11:17 pm
I'll eat you up if you eat him.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:17 pm
*Faint tremble.*
Windchill 11:17 pm
I'm too big for you, man.
Smokescreen 11:17 pm
You wanna bet?
Agooddistraction 11:18 pm
Don't eat anyone@
Windchill 11:18 pm
You can't handle this, man.
I'm too powerful.
Man.
Smokescreen 11:18 pm
I don't know, I've heard I've got a pretty big mouth!
Windchill 11:18 pm
Mine is bigger, man.
Omicron 11:18 pm
If its really bad, I can lay on him and keep him from mecha?
Smokescreen 11:18 pm
How much do you bet?
Windchill 11:18 pm
I'm broke, man.
You'd lose anyway, man.
Smokescreen 11:19 pm
Well- I bet half a shanix my mouth's way bigger!
Windchill 11:19 pm
I'm bigger and I have...experience.
Smokescreen 11:19 pm
... Wait, what kind of experience?
Agooddistraction 11:19 pm
Soundwave
Windchill 11:19 pm
All of it.
I have all of the experience.
Smokescreen 11:19 pm
'Cause I've got my fair share of experience, too.
Windchill 11:19 pm
I've got a monopoly, man.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:19 pm
[[What, Wheeljack.]]
Agooddistraction 11:19 pm
Thanks
Smokescreen 11:19 pm
I doubt it! Come over and prove it!
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:19 pm
[[....Why.]]
Agooddistraction 11:19 pm
Just thanks
Windchill 11:19 pm
Okay, but we have to go outside. Man.
Smokescreen 11:20 pm
Fine, fine. Maybe after I'm ready to leave? I'm pretty comfy right now.
Windchill 11:20 pm
I doubt Soundwave would appreciate the evidence of my eating you on his floor.
Tarantulas 11:20 pm
@P: ::Things are a bit - hectic. I may take my leave shortly.::
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:20 pm
[[Don't get too comfortable. He's closing the room to the public in roughly ten minutes.]]
VProwl 11:20 pm
@T «Please don't, the collective IQ in the room will plummet into the negatives.»
Windchill 11:20 pm
*Will take that as a victory.*
Omicron 11:20 pm
RAcer: *making himself at home in soundwave's lap* pffb? *at prowl*
Prowl 11:20 pm
*Prowl is going to leave since the film is over and she has no intention of overstaying what little welcome she has here*
Smokescreen 11:20 pm
Oh yeah, I bet he won't. We can take it outside.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:21 pm
*Offers a hand to Racer to sniff. Would he like scritches?*
Windchill 11:21 pm
Too late, you missed your chance, man.
Smokescreen 11:21 pm
What? come on! You just scared to lose, man? Meet me outside if you're not a coward.
Agooddistraction 11:21 pm
*optics are barely online*
Windchill 11:21 pm
I'm going home.
You're gonna die, kid.
Smokescreen 11:21 pm
I've survived worse.
Omicron 11:21 pm
Racer: *sniff! he'd love scrithces yesss*
Windchill 11:21 pm
And I have absolutely no qualms about it.
VProwl 11:22 pm
*Unfortunate. Prowl had been hoping to speak with his alternate. But he was pinned down by a spider and she was accosted by a pestilence.*
Windchill 11:22 pm
I mean.
Smokescreen 11:22 pm
/He's getting up, and is going outside!/ I'm sturdier than I look, you know.
Windchill 11:22 pm
So impressive, much wow.
Tarantulas 11:22 pm
@P: ::You're not required to remain here, you know.::
Windchill 11:22 pm
Man.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:22 pm
*Soundwave vents an itty bitty sigh of relief when his own Prowl leaves and slumps ever so slightly.*
Windchill 11:23 pm
I was joking but I can eat you if that's what's going to make you happy, man.
VProwl 11:23 pm
@T «I set aside this evening every week to spend with Soundwave and I don't want to be run off by blathering morons.»
Smokescreen 11:23 pm
I just wanna see you try.
Windchill 11:23 pm
No, you don't.
Man.
Agooddistraction 11:23 pm
Just go eat each other outside
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:23 pm
*Thin fingertips ever so gently scratch the plates beneath Racer's jaw. He's been told that growing newbuilds in other timelines tend to itch where they have trouble rubbing the expanding metal plates.*
Smokescreen 11:23 pm
... Wait, we're talking about the same eating, right? You gonna swallow me up?
VProwl 11:24 pm
*he's adjusted his posture to curl his fingers in Tarantulas's fuzz again. The fuzzybutt is keeping him sane now. It's a valuable, if draining, duty.*
Omicron 11:24 pm
*hums along with the music from her spot*
Windchill 11:24 pm
Not whole, sorry. I'm not that big. Man.
Smokescreen 11:24 pm
Aww man. What a disappointment.
Windchill 11:24 pm
I know.
But vore isn't actually my thing.
So.
Smokescreen 11:25 pm
... I'm gonna head off and check on Tarantulas. He hasn't been feeling too well- and I wanna make sure he's eating and everything.
Tarantulas 11:25 pm
*just ask tara to move, he'll probably do it now. maybe. after he unfreezes. he doesn't even know what he should be paying attention to right now*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:25 pm
*Not knowing how flexible Racer is or isn't, he assumes a spot he at least can't bite at is a good bet.*
Windchill 11:25 pm
*Stretches.*
Smokescreen 11:25 pm
Thank you for the movie, Sounds.
Windchill 11:25 pm
I'm going home for real.
Smokescreen 11:25 pm
And for everything else.
See ya.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:25 pm
[[You're welcome. Next week we return to the subject of Spock.]]
Windchill 11:25 pm
You people are waaaay too clever for me.
VProwl 11:25 pm
*wouldn't do that, he knows Tarantulas is hiding. Prowl is asking a lot of him just by asking him to stay.*
Smokescreen 11:25 pm
Oh! With the Alpha Trion sounding human, right?
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:25 pm
[[Goodnight to you too, Windchill.]]
*Nods. With him.*
Windchill 11:26 pm
Yeah, you say it, but you don't really mean it.
*Doesn't seem to care about that.*
Smokescreen 11:26 pm
/Now he's starting to ping Messy- first to see if he's up to talk at all!/
Omicron 11:26 pm
Racer: *sighs and leans into the scriches, radiating happy-bliss, though tilts head to get the scritches on the side of his neck*
Windchill 11:27 pm
*Makes it to his feet with minimal grunting.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:27 pm
*Obliges without a fuss. It's not unlike when Ravage feels like some quiet grooming attention.*
Windchill 11:27 pm
*Yes, he has noticed that he acts 100% worse when he doesn't bring his spawn along to keep him responsible.*
*He's devolving.*
Agooddistraction 11:28 pm
Smokescreen, take the rest of this cyg. Try it out when you're somewhere else though
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:28 pm
*Or is it a case of temporary evolution when she's there? A Cybertronian digimon.*
Smokescreen 11:28 pm
!! Really, Wheels? Thank you!
Tarantulas 11:28 pm
*the tiniest spider sigh. he pings smokey back*
Agooddistraction 11:28 pm
Yep
Night fraggers
Smokescreen 11:28 pm
/He's holding onto it/ What is it?
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:28 pm
[[Goodnight.]]
Smokescreen 11:28 pm
!! /Pingping/
Agooddistraction 11:29 pm
Love you, Mommy
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:29 pm
[[OUT.]]
Windchill 11:29 pm
*Or maybe he likes being a crass asshole and acting dumb, because it's fun.*
Smokescreen 11:29 pm
@Tarantulas: ::How are you feeling tonight? Missed seeing you at the movie- probably good you weren't there, though. You would've hated it.::
Agooddistraction 11:29 pm
😎
Windchill 11:29 pm
*But he can't get away with starting fights with her around and is forced...to behave....tragic.*
It's okay, Wheeljack.
I'll be your mommy.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:30 pm
[[That's it. Out. Everyone. Go.]]
Windchill 11:30 pm
*Shuffles sideways like a crab to escape before he's made to commit.*
Smokescreen 11:30 pm
.... But Sounds!
/Fine. He's heading out, and taking the chance to try that cyg./
Tarantulas 11:30 pm
@Smokey: ::I'll trust your opinion, then. I'm feeling... better.::
Windchill 11:30 pm
*Shuffles faster.*
Omicron 11:30 pm
Racer: *tiny happy sound that might be a purr later on in life, wants alll the scritches, he's starting to grow again and there's some faintly viable marks as evidance*
O_o; alright...?
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:31 pm
@P: [[Perhaps a pbbt for the young one?]]
Smokescreen 11:31 pm
@Tarantulas: ::Really? That's good! Have you been recharging and drinking? Can I visit you? Have you been bathing?::
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:31 pm
*Don't ask how he managed to think the pbbt noise.*
Tarantulas 11:31 pm
@Smokey: ::No visiting at the moment - soon, maybe. I'll contact you.::
Windchill 11:32 pm
*Now he shuffles in sloooow motion just to see if he's gonna get yelled at for blocking the exit with his giant ass.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:32 pm
*No. But Ravage will make a small charge across the room and tackle him out of it.*
Smokescreen 11:32 pm
@Tarantulas: ::Oh. Okay- I get that. I know I can be just. Too much. I'll get to see you soon, right?::
VProwl 11:33 pm
@S «... Does "everyone" include Tarantulas and/or me?»
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:33 pm
@P: [[Does it ever?]]

*Doesn't seem to notice this.*
VProwl 11:33 pm
@S «Well. I wasn't sure about Tarantulas.»
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:33 pm
*Ravage is tempted to bite the mech, but there's still an officer present. He'll just leap off again and swat at Windchill's ankles.*
Omicron 11:33 pm
*confused predacon, starting to get up and shake, was hoping to stay a bit, but she'll gather up her two hatchlings*
Smokescreen 11:34 pm
/Smokescreen's mostly out of the room- but he's got one audial phased in just to listen to the music./
Windchill 11:34 pm
*Gasps. He's being swatted. To DEATH.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:34 pm
((there would've been more time tonight but the big interference in the middle of the night kinda ate up time))
Windchill 11:34 pm
*It's a very sensual gasp.*
VProwl 11:34 pm
@S «... You do have a space bridge.»
Windchill 11:34 pm
Watch out, bucko.
I can't tell if you're messing with me or trying to chase me out.
Tarantulas 11:35 pm
@Smokey: ::Hush, it's not you, it's me. I'm working, dear. But yes - soon.::
Windchill 11:35 pm
You could just ask nicely if it's the latter.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:35 pm
@P: [[He wanted to avoid using it.]]
=Go or claws. Please.=
Windchill 11:35 pm
Okay, since you asked nicely.
Smokescreen 11:36 pm
@Tarantulas: ::It's okay if you think I'm annoying or a nuisance or anything- I've heard it- I mean. I'll see you later, then? Keep taking care of yourself. I've got something for you when you're ready!::

*It's like a torture session of old to get common decency out of anyone, sigh!*
I'm going now.
*Moves marginally faster.*
*His butt has cleared the door.*

@S «You also wanted all the visitors to be gone by now.»
Tarantulas 11:37 pm
@Smokey: ::Hyeh, very well. I'm looking forward to it, then.::
Omicron 11:38 pm
*head under a table to get the other hatchling she had brought, is getting them*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:38 pm
*Racer gets offered an itty-bitty treat sized for someone as tiny as Zori fished out of Soundwave's subspace. He's not going to put Racer on the ground while big feet are moving.*
Windchill 11:40 pm
*Sticks his head back in. You thought your suffering was over? THINK AGAIN.*
Omicron 11:40 pm
Racer: n.n .........! *forepaws grabs at hand and pulls to start chewing on the treat, is very good with being hand fed now*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:40 pm
*OPENS A DAMN BRIDGE IN FRONT OF WINDCHILL'S FACE.*
Windchill 11:40 pm
GOOD NIGHT, FUCKOS!
*Backs up and tears off out of there.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:40 pm
*Closes it.*
Windchill 11:40 pm
*You can't catch him today, he already knows that trick.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:41 pm
*It was a warning.*
Tarantulas 11:41 pm
*tarantulas was literally about to come climbing out from under prowl's bumper but no*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:41 pm
*Smokescreen's going to be next if he doesn't book it.*
Smokescreen 11:41 pm
/He's mostly out! He just has one audial poking out because phase shifter./
Windchill 11:41 pm
*Might wait outside to jump anyone unfortunate enough to come out in traditional fashion.*
*Nah.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:42 pm
*Stretches a feeler out and tries to PINCH the audial.*
VProwl 11:42 pm
... For future reference, I'm going to start going straight upstairs as soon as the movies are over.
Upstairs or home.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:42 pm
[[That may be a good idea.]]
Omicron 11:42 pm
Racer: pbbt?
VProwl 11:42 pm
As m— pbbbt.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:42 pm
[[...Preferably not home. Unless you need to. He does not wish to keep you from work or other tasks that do require your attention.]]
Smokescreen 11:42 pm
/LOUD BEEPING as the feeler pinches- and he's starting to pull away, possibly pulling the feeler through if Soundwave keeps holding on/
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:43 pm
*No, he won't hold on. But please, Smokescreen, go.*
((like seriously i don't wanna be in here past midnight y'all))
VProwl 11:43 pm
As much as I'd like to stand strong with you in solidarity against the idiots, I— *what the HELL is going on over there.*
Windchill 11:43 pm
*PHEW! Now that all of that bad behaviour is out of his system, he's gone.*
Smokescreen 11:43 pm
/He's finally leaving!/
VProwl 11:43 pm
... *for the third time.* As much as I'd like to stand in solidarity with you, I can't tolerate it anymore.
Omicron 11:43 pm
*walks over quietly-ish, and slowly to Soundwave and Prowl with the second hatchling in her mouth. waiting for them to finish talking, still looking rather confused*
VProwl 11:44 pm
... And there's no reason you should have to tolerate it, either.
In your own home, at private screenings.
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:44 pm
*Soundwave carefully hands Racer back to Ice Queen with a nod.*
Tarantulas 11:45 pm
*alright, coast's clear, time to come out*
VProwl 11:45 pm
*there's wiggling behind his shield. Sits up and loosens his arms.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:45 pm
[[You realize it isn't often he's accused of being too forgiving a mech.]]
[[But he knows what you mean.]]
Omicron 11:45 pm
*Icy extends her head and neck over, letting Racer climb up onto her, and walk down to her back. The little kitten predacon blinks at the two*
Tarantulas 11:45 pm
*he's not going to hide the whole conversation under prowl's bumper, it's getting awkward. wiggling out, he goes*
VProwl 11:46 pm
Thanks for staying. *he needed the support.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:46 pm
[[There you are. Have a good night, if you are leaving.]]
*He has no idea if that's what the spide is doing, but Tarantulas is moving after a whole movie night spent wrapped up, so it's a guess.*
Omicron 11:46 pm
*sets the hatchling down so she can talk better* you said everyone to leave?
*hesitates*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:47 pm
[[Unfortunately, yes. His time is very limited. It is nothing you have done.]]
Omicron 11:47 pm
If I have done anything to offend, I am sorry
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:48 pm
[[You are one of the least offensive guests. That does not, sadly, change his availability.]]
VProwl 11:48 pm
... I hope you... didn't interpret my, er—attempt to elucidate, as a scolding. It wasn't. I just—thought you should know.
Tarantulas 11:48 pm
*pings his 'welcome' to prowl, grooms himself briefly before stretching his legs*
VProwl 11:48 pm
Since you're—er—not around Cybertronian-Cybertronians much.
Omicron 11:51 pm
scolding? maybe. It took me off guard. But as I said it's always been a general trerm. a rank for some higher insecticons. I can see how in some worlds it could come across as bad. *keeps the other hatchling close, ducking to pick it up and put on her back*
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:51 pm
@Prowl: [[...You do ask much of him. To have you upstairs alone with his private console and personal supply shelves, for however long he chooses to be down here.]]
[[He wonders if that isn't meant to encourage him to follow you up quickly.]]
VProwl 11:52 pm
I'm unfamiliar with Insecticon ranks and terminology. Among the mecha species I know, it's a lower rank, not higher.
@S «I'm not flirting, I'm fed up. If you don't want me alone upstairs, then I'll go home and wait for you to comm.»
ItsyBitsySpyers 11:53 pm
@P: [[He didn't say it was flirting.]]
*He thought it was a choice. Stay and tolerate idiocy as he's been doing, or make sure his paranoia doesn't run off with his head.*
[[He will consider ending the nights sooner.]]
*Soundwave stands and begins moving furniture. Time for all good bots to move on for the night.*
VProwl 11:54 pm
@S «Honestly, sometimes the only reason I don't leave mid-movie on nights like this one is because I know that if they notice it, they'll conclude they can make me go away by being sufficiently annoying and get worse on purpose.»

@P: [[Then you know why he's often been forced to tolerate it himself. Seeing as he's no longer allowed to discourage them the ways he once would have.]]

*ping, he understands. but yes, he's gone now*
ItsyBitsySpyers 12:13 am
*Turns to Prowl.*
[[...Come. The night has been stressful, and for you, the rest of this last week as well.]]
*Spreads his arms a bit. Please, do join him upstairs. He's of a mind to be protective and soothing and helpful, in whatever form Prowl requires.*
VProwl 12:14 am
*a nod, and he stands. he doesn't feel like being carried tonight.*
ItsyBitsySpyers 12:14 am
*In that case, one arm will drop to his side while the other stays stuck out in an offer to be linked.*
*However Prowl takes it, or doesn't, up they'll go.*
VProwl 12:17 am
*... he'll take it. and up they go.*

Jan 18 Blurr’s Horror Stream - A Series of Unfortunate Events 1
Livestream was shit and we didn’t quite finish the first episode before giving up.
Prowl liked the human children and liked how awkward everyone was. Also he was unusually cuddly with his soon-to-be amica.
Welcome to the 'speedxstealer' room.
The chat room has been cleared by the moderator.
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Yes hi hello he heard there was an opportunity to get away from the noise of the party at the complex behind his base.*
B l u r r: [[ oh fantastic. LS is already dropping. ]]
B l u r r: well im going to get food then ]]
Whirl: *trots right in and makes a beeline for the hammock*
Whirl: ((bl;urr HOW DARE YOU))
Whirl: ((HURT ME LIKE THIS))
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((WHY WOULD YOU PLAY THIS RIGHT AWAY... my heart... *sniffle*))
FakeProwl: ((*sees comments* *turns on audio* ... i shoulda frickin guessed))
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((look there are very few songs that move me like this one and this is a damn fine cover))
B l u r r: [[because it's from FFX ]]
B l u r r: *FFXV ]
B l u r r: SO I NEEDED IT ]]
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Soundwave gets distracted on the way to the couch, but only for a moment. He looses the minis and sits down to make himself comfortable.*
Airachnid: [peeks in]
Whirl: *tilts his head, considering* I like the Ben E. King version more.
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Ravage bobs his helm and makes a chattering noise. It is the Other Spider.*
Whirl: *will also bob his head to Airachnid*
B l u r r: [[ LS is probably not going to be nice. ]]
Airachnid: [she just waves. She does not bob]
B l u r r: / walks in. Looking a little better for wear /
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Frenzy immediately skates over to check on that leg.*
Whirl: Here he is! The conquering hero!
Whirl: *waves a claw from the hammock, optic curved into a delighted swuint*
B l u r r: ....
B l u r r: / VENTS / Not a hero.
Whirl: You can dany it all you like, but it won't change a thing. *puls his legs up into his hamock and gets all comfortably curled up*
B l u r r: / grumbles /
B l u r r: / looks at Frenzy. His leg looksjust like its recycled old self /
Airachnid: [she's eying the hammock. She kinda wants to get in it]
B l u r r: [[ lemme know when you're ready and everyone's here ]]
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Frenzy nods, satisfied. Good. He don't gotta punch nobody for not followin' orders. He darts off to plop himself near where Blurr usually sits.*
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((i'mma bout to grab a quick snack but consider me ready anyway))
Whirl: ((i've gotta grab laundry but don't wait on me o7 ))
Whirl: ((so bbs!))
FakeProwl: *appears*
B l u r r: / going to finally sit down /
starscream: *slips in*
B l u r r: / picks at some welds on his arm guard/ The ship seems so quiet lately. / 8( /
FakeProwl: *which Starscream*
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((snacks acquired))
B l u r r: [[ lemme know when yall are ready. ]]
ItsyBitsySpyers: *And a belated (but timely at the time) nod to Prowl.*
FakeProwl: *nods back. sits with*
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((ready when y'all are))
FakeProwl: ((ready))
Airachnid: ready))
B l u r r: [[ well ill just start. Since my power might go out. ]]
starscream: ((Sorry, this is thebestdecepticonleader))
FakeProwl: *not Prowl's boss then.*
starscream: ((i've had some technical difficulties))
starscream: ((no))
B l u r r: [[ the whole stream is about to drop lmao ]]
B l u r r: [[ lemme know when it does. ]]
FakeProwl: ((holy shiit the theme song tho))
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Since that is not the one who showed up the other night, Soundwave has no problem nudging Prowl an offer to get comfortable.*
B l u r r: / slouches /
FakeProwl: *immediately leans on Soundwave.*
B l u r r: [[did it drop? ]]
FakeProwl: ((still good))
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((nope))
B l u r r: [[ its about to. ]]
B l u r r: LS is giving me errors ]]
FakeProwl: ((the visuals are freezing off and on but the audio is fine))
B l u r r: [[ well, just lemme know when it drops ]]
B l u r r: if it drops ]]
Airachnid: ok so it's not just me then. my internet is wonky during streams like this))
ItsyBitsySpyers: [[Primus.]]
Whirl: ((AND BACK))
FakeProwl: *prowl has three new favorite humans*
Airachnid: [that made her hungry]
Whirl: *tilts his head at this mechanism*
B l u r r: / kicks pedes out /
Airachnid: Clever. For humans.
Whirl: I wouldn't underestimate 'em, personally.
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Does too. Especially if the sharp toothed one continues being treated like a useful member of the trio.*
B l u r r: / scoffs/
B l u r r: Humans are only as clever as they allow themselves to be.
ItsyBitsySpyers: //What kinda news-breakin' is that?//
starscream: How did he even know they would be there?
B l u r r: The right kind.
Airachnid: They do not seem that upset over their loss.
Whirl: Yep, and some of them let temselves get real damn clever.
Whirl: Probably in shock, I'd say.
B l u r r: Those ones end up dead.
B l u r r: Or between my teeth
starscream: Must be used to losing people
FakeProwl: *everyone is awkward and matter-of-fact. prowl identifies with all of them.*
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Soundwave absently reaches a hand out to scratch Buzzsaw on the back.*
Whirl: As long as they're no ally of mine, go to town, Blurr.
B l u r r: Humans shouldn't be allies.
Whirl: But keep your mitts off MY humans.
Whirl: Tough. You want mine, then you can fight me for them.
starscream: why do you have humans?
B l u r r: You shouldn't have human allies. /scoffs and slouches more / You'd think the last week would have taught you that.
Whirl: We HAD humans allies last week.
B l u r r: Did we? Ah, pity.
B l u r r: I forgot them already
starscream: HAD, they died?
Whirl: Nah, we parted ways.
B l u r r: thank the pits.
starscream: I thought humans lived longer than that
Airachnid: [she pulled on the hammock and gave Whirl a glace. Is he willing to share the hammock?]
B l u r r: If that Yeager human touched my wheel one more time...
Whirl: *looks over and sits up, scooting. But of course, Airachnid*
Whirl: You wouldn't do squat.
B l u r r: I would have.
B l u r r: I got in his face twice.
Whirl: *sly look* And upset Roadbuster?
Airachnid: [happy chirrup before climbing into the hammock]
B l u r r: ... /growls and looks the other way /
starscream: how wonderful
Whirl: Anyway, if we're going by track record, I have more to hold against CYBERTRONIANS than humans.
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Soundwave huffs. That's as amusing as it is horrible.*
B l u r r: I have more to hold against humans. So, we agree to disagree.
Whirl: I'm fine with that. YOU'RE the one telling me who I should and shouldn't ally with. *deadpan look*
B l u r r: / shrugs/ Some alliances just shouldn't be made...
starscream: How is she that clueless
ItsyBitsySpyers: //Heh. Looks like our old quarters.//
ItsyBitsySpyers: //Sounds like some of 'em too.//
Whirl: Good thing I never listened to anything anyone ever told me. *snorts*
Airachnid: This is why I'm glad I can sleep on the ceiling.
starscream: That's like, Megatron level clueless
B l u r r: / snort/ I suppose. Regardless... it didn't turn out... so bad.
FakeProwl: *likes this show. it tells you how the characters are feeling and how you're supposed to feel about it. makes it very easy to keep up with.*
Whirl: Nope. Sure didn't. ..*another, slyer look* Sorry I didn't get you stepped on.
B l u r r: Oh, he'll do it eventually...
ItsyBitsySpyers: [[So you know his - what.]]
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Are the older humans in this ALL clueless?*
starscream: 4th cousin is the closest they got
Whirl: I'll do my best! *cheerfully*
B l u r r: He's got my comm frequency
B l u r r: He doesn't talk much...
starscream: The forshadowing is hitting me in the face
FakeProwl: *leans more on Soundwave*
Whirl: ...*mock gasp*
Whirl: *udges Airachnid* he looks like... Starscream...
starscream: EXCUSE ME
Airachnid: The human does. It's frightening.
B l u r r: ...That house looks great.
Whirl: The resemblance is simply uncanny...
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Please forgive the light trembling. He's sort of enjoying the bleak humor*
starscream: I don't look like any sort of organic, especially that one!
Whirl: ((omfg IT'S NPH))
B l u r r: [[ it IS ]]
FakeProwl: ((OH MY GOD))
Whirl: and, agreed, Blurr. I like it.
B l u r r: I love it.
Airachnid: I like the amount of light, but it needs to be cleaned up.
B l u r r: / sNORT /
ItsyBitsySpyers: @Prowl: (txt): Feeler allowed?
Whirl: Yeah. But the architecture is pretty interesting.
FakeProwl: @Soundwave «Yes.»
B l u r r: / snickering /
B l u r r: ... Okay even my place is better kept than this.
FakeProwl: ((i made the mistake of clicking pause/play because the image was frozen and now it's just spinning o|-<
Whirl: ((i've got a black screen))
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Pleased. The one covered by Prowl's lean snakes out to cross the avatar's back and settle its claws on a hip.*
FakeProwl: ((/refreshes))
Whirl: ((trying to fic it with refresh))
B l u r r: [[ LS is down ]]
B l u r r: [[ tell me when u see the pause screen ]]
Airachnid: welcome to the void))
B l u r r: I've kept my ship oddly clean lately anyway...
_Whirl: ((starscream cursed is for comparing him to the count))
FakeProwl: ((is the screen paused on Olaf's face, with the door open on the right?))
_Whirl: Expecting a visitor, maybe?
FakeProwl: ((nope, now it says offline))
B l u r r: [[ no LS is having an issue ]]
_Whirl: ((says offline here too!))
B l u r r: [[ it might be coming back rn ]]
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((aha. a pause))
B l u r r: A visitor? erm... no.
B l u r r: I don't really expect visitors.
_Whirl: No? Can't think of anyone?
ItsyBitsySpyers: \\ALWAYS EXPECT VISITORS. HOW ELSE YA GONNA DEFEND AGAINST 'EM?\\
B l u r r: ... No.
B l u r r: [[ is it back now? ]]
_Whirl: ((not yet!))
_Whirl: ... Blurr. You're so damn dense it's kind of charming.
B l u r r: ... What?
FakeProwl: ((not yet))
B l u r r: [[ okie i can wait ]]
Airachnid: still offline))
FakeProwl: ((I paused/unpaused, there it is))
B l u r r: [[ it says it's back up on my report but idk bout yall ]]
_Whirl: @B: Seemed to me like you and Roadbuster hit it off. Am I wrong?
B l u r r: @Whirl: :: What- no. We're acquaintances... ::
B l u r r: [[ you guys got it? ]]
_Whirl: @B: I think you careened right past that into "friends" territory, Teach.
FakeProwl: ((good here))
_Whirl: ((not yet :|a brb tho))
_Whirl: ((i'll refresh rq))
B l u r r: @Whirl: :: What-?! We're not ... I mean, maybe. Friends. That's all. ::
__Whirl: ((THERE WE GO))
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((been had it))
__Whirl: ((whirl keeps getting longer......))
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((...what kind of answer is that. what are words))
B l u r r: [[ OKAY IM GONNA KEEP GOING before the weather gets back ]]
FakeProwl: *pleased as well. Not least of which because he's still riding high on the knowledge that—*
FakeProwl: *oh! speaking of which. ping. amica paperwork. prowl's filled out his half.*
B l u r r: [[ sighs its about to drop off again ]]
__Whirl: @Blurr: Well, yeah. Friends visit.
B l u r r: @Whirl: :: He's not going to bother coming over here... ::
__Whirl: @Blur: ...you were awful quick to say "that's all."
starscream: shampoo?
B l u r r: @Whirl: :: What? ::
ItsyBitsySpyers: //It's like... mushy hair solvent. I seen commercials.//
starscream: Why were you watching human commercials?
ItsyBitsySpyers: //Duh.//
ItsyBitsySpyers: //Cuz they was on when I was pickin' stuff up.//
__Whirl: *tilts his head to glance slyly at Blurr* @Blurr: Just an observation. *that's all the prying he'll do for now*
ItsyBitsySpyers: *What's th--OH! Yes. The paperwork. Soundwave immediately begins working on that*
B l u r r: @Whirl: :: ... What's that mean? ::
FakeProwl: ((think it died))
B l u r r: [[ its gonna keep dying. ]]
ItsyBitsySpyers: //She ain't s'posed to talk about it so much she killed the movie.//
__Whirl: ((yeah i have returned to The Void))
ItsyBitsySpyers: \\HAHA.\\
B l u r r: [[ sighs. ]]
starscream: ((hello darkness my old friend))
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((you do have to admit, this is terribly appropriate given what we're watching))
B l u r r: [[ sigh. ]]
B l u r r: [[ I don't think this is going to work... ]]
B l u r r: [[ LS keeps crashing and now my net is like lmao no ]]
FakeProwl: @Soundwave «There are a couple of other people I need to ask, per my prior list of emergency medical contacts. If so, I'll file our paperwork third.»
B l u r r: [[ unless it picks back up. We can at least finish episode one ]]
Airachnid: rip))
FakeProwl: ((pause screen's back))
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((ye))
Airachnid: ye))
__Whirl: ((it's back!))
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Soundwave looks over and thinks. Think think.*
Starscream: ((there are apparently three whirls according to whose here))
__Whirl: I would begin planning my revenge.
__Whirl: ((THE ULTIMATE NIGHTMARE))
Starscream: ((and two of me))
Airachnid: the Whirl armada))
B l u r r: [[ LMAO ]]
B l u r r: [ applause and lip balm ]]
B l u r r: [[ I'm dying ]]
__Whirl: ((thee's about to be four *refreshes again*))
FakeProwl: ((ｔｈｅ ｖｏｉｄ))
__Whirl: ((cmooon buddy))
FakeProwl: ((there it go))
Starscream: -_-
B l u r r: [[ is it gone? ]]
Starscream: ((yes))
B l u r r: [[ for everyone? ]]
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((ye))
FakeProwl: ((yep))
Airachnid: yep))
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Prowl was too into Tarantulas to limit himself to amica status this early. Who else would Prowl accept?*
__Whirl: ((ye))
ItsyBitsySpyers: @Prowl: (txt): Obvious connection: Jazz, if alive. ... Getaway?
B l u r r: [[ is it back? ]]
FakeProwl: *affirmative ping*
FakeProwl: ((not yet))
__Whirl: ((i see a pause!))
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Springer was still on a slab and he didn't know anyone else who'd be important enough. Getaway had been trusted to watch Prowl during a few meetings - oh, good. Pleased with himself.*
__Whirl: ((no it went... offline again))
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((it was back but then it died again))
ItsyBitsySpyers: *...Ew, Getaway.*
B l u r r: / slouches more so /
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((pause screen))
B l u r r: Looks like the damage SOMEONE did to my ship is messing with everything else...
ItsyBitsySpyers: \\I AIN'T DONE NOTHIN'.\\
B l u r r: Not you...
B l u r r: Stupid wrecker... blew a hole in the side of my ship. All to get that disgusting human back /grumbling /
B l u r r: [[ do you guys see anything? ]]
Starscream: ((pause screen))
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((yep. pause screen up.))
Airachnid: I see it))
__Whirl: (i see apause!))
FakeProwl: ((pause screen))
__Whirl: Well, no offense Teach, but that's kind of what happens if you keep a Wrecker cooper up.
B l u r r: [[ its about to fucccking drop again ]]
__Whirl: *cooped
B l u r r: He wasn't inside the ship!
B l u r r: He blew a hole in my ship to get IN
__Whirl: ...you said to get the human. Did you take someone who was a friend of his?
B l u r r: She wandered into my claw.
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Well. Third to Prowl is nothing to scoff at, especially for an ex-Decepticon who's only known the mech a year. He'll take it.*
__Whirl: Pfft. Mech.
ItsyBitsySpyers: [[It's musical?]]
__Whirl: You're lucky all he did was damage yourSHIP.
ItsyBitsySpyers: *This just got even better.*
B l u r r: He's lucky he got her back...
Starscream: ugh, singing
FakeProwl: *"N for the knowledge." snrrrk*
__Whirl: This man is absolutely you in human form, Starscream.
Starscream: is NOT
__Whirl: And, yeah. If you ever grab any of MY humans, then you're in for a lot worse. *points at*
B l u r r: / rolls optic / Like I said, he got her back.
B l u r r: / scrubs faceplate /
__Whirl: *he likes that baby*
__Whirl: You're lucky he decided to stick around after that.
B l u r r: [[ did it go out again? ]]
B l u r r: Oh yes, lucky lucky me. Just what I wanted.
__Whirl: ((it has on my end, sadly))
B l u r r: [[ SIGH ]]
__Whirl: I dunno. Seems like not too bad a deal for you.
Starscream: ((Yes))
B l u r r: ...Why say that?
__Whirl: No reason. *sly look*
FakeProwl: ((dead here))
B l u r r: why are you looking at me like that?
B l u r r: / scoffs and leans back/
B l u r r: [[ of course it's dead. ]]
__Whirl: I'll say it out loud if you want me to, mech.
B l u r r: There's nothing to say! / finial twitch /
B l u r r: [[ it's literally almost over. ]]
B l u r r: [ I cna't do this. I can't struggle with it. I'm sorry. ]]
B l u r r: [[ It's frustrating me. So we'll try to finish one ep. And I guess my net just can't do it ]]
B l u r r: [[ Is it back for yall? ]]
__Whirl: ((I'M SORRY, dude :< i can see the pause screen rn))
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((it's back))
FakeProwl: ((it's back))
FakeProwl: ((and yeah, finishing after one ep is fine by me))
B l u r r: [[ Sorry. ]]
__Whirl: ((not your fault!))
B l u r r: [[ omfg LS there are 9 fuckking minutes left come on ]]]
ItsyBitsySpyers: *BAM. Paperwork accurately completed and returned. He'd prepared for most of the questions by reviewing the conjunx paperwork Whirl sent over some time back. Lots of quick copy/paste and a few brief--
ItsyBitsySpyers: responses to the differences.*
B l u r r: / ANYWAY. In denial about what Whirl is apparently about to say /
ItsyBitsySpyers: [[...A certain snails?]]
B l u r r: [[ is it gone again?? B/ ]]
__Whirl: *makes an exaggerated throat-clearing noise* Now. I am not an expert in matters of the spark. I will be first to admit it.
FakeProwl: Perhaps snails are symbolic of something in human culture.
Airachnid: Who knows with these creatures.
__Whirl: But I think my perspective as an outsider looking in has removd me from some of the factors that might bias someone else. And, it is with this objectivity, lent to me by the circumstances of my life..
B l u r r: / vents and sinks lower in his couch ./
__Whirl: You two got MAD chemistry.
B l u r r: W-what?!
__Whirl: ((i like that whirl and count olaf gave a speech at the same time))
__Whirl: You do
FakeProwl: They have strange associations. Apparently owls represent wisdom.
Starscream: Why?
B l u r r: We... what?
B l u r r: We do... we don't.
ItsyBitsySpyers: {{It because birds smart.}}
__Whirl: You do.
__Whirl: Bite him!
__Whirl: BITE HIM.
B l u r r: We do not...
Airachnid: Tear his face off.
B l u r r: I /did/. With someone else. /crosses arms /
__Whirl: ...that was fo the movie but--*shoots Blurr a cheeky look* Maybe you can take my suggestion, too.
__Whirl: SEE?
__Whirl: Wait.
B l u r r: See what?!
__Whirl: *LAUGHS and elbows Airachnid*
ItsyBitsySpyers: [[He will research snails when he returns home.]]
B l u r r: [[ its down again, right? ]]
FakeProwl: *reviews paperwork. all good. acknowledging ping.*
FakeProwl: ((not yet))
__Whirl: Anyway. If you're too blind to see it, I can't help you, Teach. But I want this room--this WHOLE room. To bear witness right now, to what I'm saying.
ItsyBitsySpyers: [][][]Bear witness.[][][]
B l u r r: ... /looking around /
__Whirl: Blurr? You and Roadbuster got a little something.
__Whirl: And with a little attention, it could be a LOTTA something.
B l u r r: W-we don't! /sits up/ Whirl's lying!
FakeProwl: I'm not interested in bearing witness to you butting in on somebody else's business.
Airachnid: You stuttered.
B l u r r: I mean, sure, I'd like to tear his spine out, but that's it!
Airachnid: [she doesn't mind, she loves drama]
__Whirl: O-HO, that's incredibly rich, coming from YOU, Prowl.
B l u r r: Besides... I have JT.
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Soundwave's planning on letting Frenzy run with Blurr for a little while. He needs a few things he can hold over Blurr's head in an emergency.*
__Whirl: But furthormore--I don't care. And--yeah?
B l u r r: / lmao good luck soundwave /
__Whirl: I mean, sure, you seem to like him--WHY, I can't fathom, he's been dreadful to you--but obviously you should talk to him FIRST.
FakeProwl: *vaguely waves whirl off. they both know whirl's being the obnoxious one here.*
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Who says he'd take it straight to Blurr?*
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Roadbuster might find this whole thing interesting.*
B l u r r: [[ kay screw it. ]]
B l u r r: [[ im shutting down because im frustrated. ]]
__Whirl: ((sorry dude :<))
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((thank you for struggling as long as you did <3 ))
B l u r r: [[ we can still use the chat, though ]]
__Whirl: ((YES you fought the good fight!))
B l u r r: [[ or you guys can or whatever ]]
__Whirl: ((WELL I AIN'T DONE WITH U BLURR))
B l u r r: / waves at Whirl/ He hasn't been bad to me...
B l u r r: We just... disagree at times.
__Whirl: Yeah, sure. Pfft. I still owe him.
B l u r r: Of course.
__Whirl: And don't think I WON'T tear his face up, either.
B l u r r: ... Don't do that, I like that part.
__Whirl: He shouldn't have done it to you, first.
ItsyBitsySpyers: *An interesting new show; completed paperwork for something he did not expect to ever be asked, legal reasons or no legal reasons; fine company and good contact. Here is a content noodle.*
B l u r r: Okay, fair. But, I did warrant it.
__Whirl: And HE'S warranted HIS.
__Whirl: *you mess with whirl's friends, you get the clamps*
__Whirl: ANYWAY, like I said--*waves a claw* You seem to like him, so whatever. But, yeah, I mean, talk to him about it.
B l u r r: Fine fine... /waves claws /
B l u r r: Talk to him about what? He doesn't have say on who my friends are...
__Whirl: Are YOU the only person who JT's seeing?
B l u r r: ... /makes a face/ Is that important?
__Whirl: You're not, are you.
B l u r r: I don't know. I don't ask.
B l u r r: / does know. /
__Whirl: So he shouldn't have any grounds to say you can't do the same, if you want.
FakeProwl: *the content noodle has a content car*
__Whirl: Now--jeez, I'm not gonna PUSH you, or anything. *he says, while absolutely pushing Blurr*
__Whirl: But jeez, not all of us are lucky enough to have this sort of thing. Maybe consider not letting it slip away? *tilts head*
B l u r r: / tilts helm and whirrs gears. Flickers optic/ Dodge doesn't know if he wants that.
__Whirl: Well, then, that's something you'll have to sort out with Dodge.
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Content car gonna get a solid squeeze from the feeler. Like a slightly wriggly one-armed embrace.*
B l u r r: I suppose so...
__Whirl: But tell Dodge for me that if he gets in the way of you being happy, so help me, I'll FIND a way to make him pay for it.
__Whirl: ((everyone just. SOAKING IN THIS GOSSIP. OR CUDDLING))
__Whirl: ((THIS IS HILARIOUS TBH))
ItsyBitsySpyers: ((or both))
Airachnid: Airachnid is doing the former))
FakeProwl: *he'll take it*
B l u r r: [[ LOL ]]
B l u r r: Don't threaten Dodge. He has right to tell me when and when not to be happy...
B l u r r: he has every right. / dead asss serious /
__Whirl: Then, Blurr--and I mean this in the nicest possible way. I mean this as a friend--you're a chump.
__Whirl: *soft, exasperated sigh; this is HIS chump, though, for better or worse*
B l u r r: / vents/ Look, it's complicated with me and Dodge, okay?
__Whirl: I'm sure I wouldn't understand. *dryly*
B l u r r: / rolls optic/ It's a long history that he and I share. If anyone has right to punish me, it's him.
__Whirl: I punch whoever I want, mostly.
__Whirl: Anyway, we're getting off-topic. What you do is up to you, Teach. Maybe you'll never talk to him again. The multiverse has a way of being distracting like that.
__Whirl: But I'm just saying: I definitely noticed something there.
__Whirl: *finishes with an alaborate shrug that might or might not accidentally bonk Airachnid in the side of the head*
B l u r r: / tilts helmand twitches finials./ ... / shifts and sits back. Now he's thinking /
Airachnid: [rubs the back of her helm, but doesn't do much other htan that]
__Whirl: Whoops--sorry, mech.
__Whirl: You're taller than I'm used to my company being. *sly look over at Frenzy. and then at umble*
Airachnid: It's alright. No damage done.
__Whirl: ((UMBLE))
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Frenzy lazily offers up an obscene gesture*
Airachnid: [she'll take his comment as a compliment]
Airachnid: [she's used to being called the short one]
__Whirl: *MAKES ONE RIGHT BACK. with both claws up by his helm*
__Whirl: *you know the one*
ItsyBitsySpyers: \\HEY!\\
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Rumble yanks his brother back down. Park yourself. This ain't the place.*
__Whirl: Wanna take this outside?
ItsyBitsySpyers: *And Frenzy pops right back up again, storming out. That'll be a yes.*
B l u r r: ... Cease.
__Whirl: I hate to cut early, Teach, but as you can see, I have a very important appointment to get to.
B l u r r: Mm...
B l u r r: / waves a claw/ I have to get back to the repairs on my ship...
__Whirl: *nudges Airachnid* Seeya, mech.
Airachnid: You have fun with that Whirl.
Airachnid: Farewell.
__Whirl: Oh, I will. Frenzy's a god damn delight on the battlefield.
ItsyBitsySpyers: \\YOU GONNA COME GET YOUR AFT BEAT OR DO I GOTTA DRAG YA OUT HERE?\\
ItsyBitsySpyers: *From not in the room*
__Whirl: *SNORTS and shifts, lifting one leg up absurdly high and then draping out out of the hammock and letting it dangle down*
__Whirl: C'mon, mech.
__Whirl: *he is legit gonna just let Frenzy darg him*
ItsyBitsySpyers: *STOMP STOMP STOMP SWEAR MUTTER GRUMBLE *** FUSS SNAP GRAB*
__Whirl: *FWUMPS to the floor and waves as he is dragged* Later, losers!
Airachnid: [waves as he's dragged off]
ItsyBitsySpyers: //Seeya. Don't cry too hard or yer gonna rust.//
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Rumble hops down and follows the others over to the Boss. If bots are gonna stay here, they'll just take up the opposite end of the couch, but if everybody's departing they'll go ahead and latch on*
Airachnid: [since the more interesting company has left to fight, she'll just leave the hammock and go]
ItsyBitsySpyers: [[Farewell, Airachnid.]]
Airachnid: Goodnight. For now. [waves at everyone before leaving]
FakeProwl: *the cuddling was nice. but he has a lot of paperwork to get through. sits up slightly.*
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Oh? Yes, of course. Iacon and the census and everything. Withdraws the feeler.*
FakeProwl: *stands, nods farewell to Soundwave*
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Pings farewell and nods*
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Looks to Blurr and nods to him too.* [[Thank you for hosting, as always.]]
FakeProwl: *and disappears*
ItsyBitsySpyers: [[Take what Whirl said under consideration. It has merit.]]
ItsyBitsySpyers: *Up he goes, on they go, and out they go.*
