You guys have no idea how happy Megatron is to num on people

Megatron has decided to be bitey, today.

If you want nibbled, interact with this post!

[a-life-revised]

He’s staring directly at Megatron but not saying anything. Maybe he’s trying to communicate solely through uninterrupted eye contact.

Hm.

Someone is staring at him.

Elegy? No. He didn't have food or a fun datapad. Or her newest obsession- Swindle's toy that made a funny noise. This was more pointed stare- not like Rung's stare, but..

"Optimus."

Vampires won by a large margin, so vampires it is! Stay tuned!

How do we feel, folks, about the Halloween events potentially being:

"The perfect time for a little bit of Late Night Arson." Megatron's voice curled with a sort of satisfaction, and he bent farther to gently bring Rung up to his pedes, before outright scooping the mech against him. "I have the glasses and cloth we need, and some flammable liquids. We haven't done anything like this in a while, and I thought you might be interested in helping me quell some... behaviors. Before they begin."

Turning his helm to nose at the side of Rung's face, purring softly, he murmured, "We did say 'never again'."

"You know," Megatron murmured, "it has been a while since we've done anything relatively mischievous." His servo- well. His only servo, currently, reached out in offering. "Come with me for a while. I want to show you something."

He’d almost dozed off curled around the music player when Megatron’s steps shook the ground.

Rung squints blearily up at his conjunx, his strange mood warring with the satisfaction of seeing Megatron up and about after everything. He does reach up after a moment, letting Megatron curl large fingers around his servo and most of his forearm.

“I will go with you anywhere, darling, but it is awfully late…”

"I didn't ask if you wanted to help," Megatron murmured good naturedly, an optic ridge arching nearly so high, it all but disappeared under his helm.

"I was asking if you liked them. Have you fueled?"

Puttering around with a single arm was.. difficult, but nothing he couldn't work past, and once he got used to the swing of it, the adjustment of moving around, it wasn't so bad.

"They have shocked chips in them."

"Do you like pancakes."

Dreadwing isn't sure of Megatron's tone, but he has long since started getting used to Rung's love. The wariness the Seeker had harbored for the former warlord has waned over time.

"I do," he replies. "I can help make them if you are fashioning breakfast?"

// Guys I don't think I ask for much? But I need some help...

My spouse was run over by our Mercedes today. The SUV died on a busy stretch of road. They managed to push it out the way but at one point their bad leg gave out. Making them fall and ending up with their good leg going under a tire.

They've had to go to ER.

I'm waiting on a tow. It will be an hour.

But I need help getting the SUV repaired so my spouse doesn't get hurt again. If you could help us out at all I would deeply appreciate it...

“Move over, doofus, I’m climbin’ in.”

"Move over, he says, like there isn't enough room for me, him, Rung, Optimus, 2 sparklings, 2 dogs, and the Unicronians and a few more on top of that." Grumble grumble. It was all smoke and huffing, and amusement curled in his field all the same as he scooted to 'make room'.

And then promptly reached for him. "Come here."

[a-life-revised]

I think Miner Kant should be a sort of mixed language, spoken and felt. It should be thick and confusing to listen to, almost grumbling, rumbly.

But it should also be a felt thing, on the walls, like a sort of braille, tactile and felt with worn, rough digits, dug out in the wall to tell you 'mine shaft fall in here' or 'go left' or 'up'.

It's a hard language used by hardened workers.

It's hard to learn. It's hard to understand.

But if you do, you never forget it.

"Because you'll eat all of them in one sitting if I don't."

He is amused. This is greatly amusing to him. But he was hardly going to turn down a lap full of truck, especially when he was warm and pouty about being denied a particular treat. "Don't be so upset, we'll have them- I just wanted to make sure they'd cooled down a little, they were quite literally molten when I pulled them out."

Is it.. wrong, to describe the look as cute? Megatron huffed at him, and reached his arm out. "Come here, don't be so upset."

"Now, honestly," Megatron started, mouth curling into something like a mischievous grin, "what would you do if I told you I'd hidden some lava cakes?"

His fins snap forward, optics bright and scarred mouth set in a… really very childish pout, all things considered. Almost purely Orion in his surprise.

“Why would you hide them?”

He’s going to scootch his way into Megatron’s personal space and start snuffling at him, barely repressing a whine. “You’re teasing me. You are laughing at me, and it’s not fair, Megatron. I love you so much but you keep bullying me.”

[a-life-revised]

Oh, but Rung has made a crucial mistake. Megatron wasn't done.

Moving Rung away from his neck, Megatron moved to cover Rung a little, effectively pinning him down, and continued his gentle kisses, making an exaggerated 'kissy' noise after each one.

"Did you think you could truly escape me? Hm? I wasn't finished-"

Hope Rung is prepared for sleepy kisses all over his face.

Sleepy kisses are one of the best kinds of kisses, especially on lazy early mornings where all they’ve got to do is cuddle.

Rung mumbles soft hellos to Megatron and accepts the kisses before shoving his face into the warm, dark space between Megatron’s neck and chassis. He is so very, very eeby.

"I'd like to see you-"

No, no, if he responded to it, she'd just dig into him harder. ..no pun intended.

He was just going to.. act naturally. Everything was fine. "It's just a scratch, Mama," he managed, a little loftier than he meant as he nudged a plate in her direction, before gesturing at the stack of pancakes.

"Besides- Scourge told me something interesting the other day."

“So. You did a fuck up.”

Oh no.

He can't exactly hide, because he's mobile enough to sit at the dining room table, now, and he can't let her know he's embarrassed about it.

...probably a good thing he didn't take a sip of the hot oil immediately.

"Good morning to you too, mama. I'm glad to see you. Did you want some of the shocked chip pancakes?"

A warm, quiet presence has taken up residence in the chair next to the berth. The soft click-click of finger joints, the steady tick of familiar internal systems.

The clicking and ticking are all comforts to him, rhythmic tapping against his spark that almost sent him back into recharge. ..almost. Because while somethings were familiar, there was one little thing that... was terribly off.

Megatron would know Rung's energy signature anywhere, of course. And this wasn't Not Rung's energy signature. But there was something too.. bright about it. Like someone had taken all the broken, jagged bits of the signal and smoothed them out. It was Rung, unquestionably.

...but with whom was Megatron keeping company?

A whisper of his field brushed up against Rung's hesitantly- a question.

'Who? Come here?'

Apologies for being away for so long!

I've had a series of bad things happen to me, unfortunately, one of which being some spinal issues.

I will be back, I promise!
