“Hahah, right,” Quickbite back peddled a few steps, stumbling over some scrap and quickly kicking it away, “this place doesn’t have much in the way of cool stuff anyway, Not the kind of stuff I’m looking for anyway.”

“That’s… part of it,” he laughed nervously, his eyes squinting from an unseen smile behind his faceplate, “it’s Quiet Hour back at base. I’m supposed to be either sleeping, or just relaxing. If Vanguard finds out I left without permission, and during Quiet Hour, I’m in big trouble.”

The green con laughed again, scratching at the back of his helm, “he’s such a dad.”

“Oh, cool,” Quickbite looked up at the sky, “I should probably head back myself. I’m not supposed to be out right now.”

Malik was in his beast alt mode. He was collecting scrap metal, and putting them in a bin. ““It’s great how scrap can be useful for building things…” talking to himself, then he saw Quickbite. “Hey! Who are you?” He asked

“I managed to find a few a ways away,” he waved a servo in the direction he’d wandered from, “it’s hard to find stuff big enough to fit in your palm.”

“Ew, that’s gross,” Quickbite cringed, “no, I’m just grabbing neat looking doo-dads. The search for pearls and shells sort of lead me here.”

“Ah,” the fins on his back twitched and he idly kicked at the sand, “just grabbing whatever catches my optic. Or rather, whatever I think would catch my brother’s optics.”

“Uh, right,” Quickbite laughed nervously, “thanks, I guess?”

“I’m just collecting stuff,” He lifted up his servos, “I don’t even have a gun.” Ah, he probably shouldn’t have told him that.

The green con flinched in surprise and whipped around, optics wide, “what? Uh, who’s asking?” Quickbite paused when he spotted Malik, almost dropping the bag in his servos, “er... hi?”

"Ahh slag..."

J: Ah! Thank you, kind stranger!

*happy birb noises*

Halloween treats for the whole gang! 🎃💕

F: thanks! I rarely get to eat sugars!

G: isn’t sugar for you like highgrade energon is for me?

F: shhh!

J: I don’t see anything I can eat... :(

[manyverse]

"You're right on both accounts." *monches last of energon candies* "Good talk! Aight, imma head out"

“Oh... alright then. I’ll see you around, I guess.” 

[manyverse]

"Used to. Then I changed my mind about some things, ran off, and ever since then, I've just kept on running. Not saying much more than that, given who you fight for...."

“The Autobots?” Goldenrod tilted his head, “or do you mean Optimus Prime?”

[manyverse]

"Bet its nice to spend it indoors with friends and family... I honestly wouldn't know. Usually by then I'm on the move. The freeways are surprisingly empty around that week and its a good time to hit the road."

“Do you not have anyone to spend time with?”

[manyverse]

"Yeah, that's the one! I get it mixed up with the 3 or 4 other ones that happen around the same time, not gonna lie. I don't blame your friend for being enthusiastic about it, a lot of people get in the spirit of decorating their houses with a bunch of lighting, it's really nice."

He shrugged. It was nice seeing the usually bland base get spiced up with odd decorations sometimes, and it made his friend happy, so it was never too much of a bother, “I suppose it is.”

[manyverse]

"I know they have 'candied ham' or something like that, but I don't think Thanksgiving does the treat thing. Maybe you're confusing it for that other holiday that comes after it, the one where people hand out gifts to each other. The name's on the tip of my tongue..."

“I know what you mean. It’s Damselfly’s favorite holiday,” Goldenrod rolled his optics, “Christmas. He makes sure not even I can forget.”

[manyverse]

"Wait, I'm confused. Isn't Thanksgiving the day that human put a bird to roast in an oven? Don't tell me they stuff a turkey with candy!"

“Wait, what?” Goldenrod narrowed his optics, looking both mildly disturbed and disgusted
