Secret Santa

This is for @netbug009 I hope you really enjoy this! And thank you @sweetcircuits for hosting this event! I have this posted on ao3 and underneath the read more!

“And I have the perfect movie planned after everything else tomorrow.”

Sprx grinned to himself before a fist hit his head, “OW! What was that for?!” Spinning around to face Nova, she was giving him a hard stare.

“We agreed I would pick it.”

“What, no we didn’t.”

“Did too.”

“Did not.”

Nova huffed, “Fine, then we’ll have a competition for who chooses. The others can be the referees.”

Sprx could feel the smirk come easy to his face, “You sure you wanna do that? I can take whatever is thrown at me.”

Nova simply walked past him, not giving him a chance to react when she grabbed his hand and dragged him behind her.

Nova and Sprx stood in front of the rest of the team, explaining their dilemma.

“... And that’s why we need you to be the refs.”

Sprx grinned at Nova, “Yeah, otherwise it would be totally unfair. For Nova at least.” Her response was a roll of the eyes.

“Let me get this straight,” Gibson started. “You want us to basically pit you against each other over a ‘lovers spat’?”

“But this is a really important matter, Gibson!” Otto jumped in, Chiro nodding along, adding his own thoughts, “We’ll do it!”

Gibson groaned, bemoaning his lost alone time while Antauri merely smiled.

_______

Sprx groaned under the weight he held above his head, only slightly regretting the contest now. He had 5 large weights all placed on a fairly large piece of metal, holding them up with his own strength as much as he wished he could use his magnets. His only saving grace was Nova had easily over half the amount of weight he did to make the contest more fair. A contest of endurance.

Gibson looked almost bored with Antauri hovering nearby while Otto and Chiro cheered for both. Sprx swore he could see worried glances from Gibson but that could also just be the strain on his body and the sweat in his eyes.

He could feel his arms burn as the minutes ticked on, nearing the 10 minute mark. Until Sprx made a fatal mistake. He glanced at Nova, to see how she was fairing. He quickly dropped the weights as he felt warmth rush to his face from something other than the weights. He felt weak at the knees seeing Nova straining to carry the weights just as much as he was.

He groaned as Nova’s cheering quickly filled his ears, he knew he would need to sit down for a few minutes before he could feel like he could breathe normally again and the flush faded from his cheeks.

_______

Nova knew full well what was happening, in a best out of three match, the group was gonna choose one thing she was good at and the same with Sprx. At least Antauri suggested handicaps to help even the odds. Which is how she was in the foot crusher cruiser 6, racing as fast as she could to a marked out finished line. Her track was straight forward while she knew Sprx would have sharp turns and other obstacles in the air to bypass along with having a delayed start. Sprx complaints filled the comms even as he navigated his track with ease.

She wanted to end this contest as quickly as she could. With one more victory, she would secure her choice as the movie for the night. But she couldn’t help snarking back at Sprx via comms.

“What, you afraid you’re gonna lose that easily? Thought you could handle anything.”

“Sorry love, we both know I would never make anything easy for you. Besides, I can make up for your loss tomorrow at our date tomorrow.”

Nova felt her cheeks light up from anger and for Sprx’s comment. For as much as he flirts and talks big, he does well with sweeping her feet and taking her breath away with every date. But her momentary distraction of her thoughts was just enough for him to reach the finish before she could. She groaned, knowing that now the odds were evened out again.

_______

Everyone stood in the robot main control room once again, Nova and Sprx both readying themselves for the last challenge. Otto and Chiro both were practically vibrating with excitement, ready to see how this planned out. Gibson cleared out his throat as he prepared to speak.

“As is clear, Otto and Chiro did an excellent job with choosing a challenge that may have been more challenging for one of you but adding additional handicaps to help even everything out, even if the expected winner was the same. For this last one, me and Antauri had both agreed upon the tie breaker.”

Sprx couldn’t help the comment from leaving his mouth, grinning from ear to ear, “I thought you thought this was a waste of time?”

Gibson shot him a glare before continuing, “Thankfully as this is the last challenge, we won’t have to deal with this last matter for that much longer. And as such, this challenge will just need your mind to be completed rather than anything more intricate. Antauri?”

Antauri nodded, “Whoever answers correctly will win this challenge and the competition.” He cleared his throat before speaking again, a riddle this time, “Felt in the chest and given away, I can be broken but never stray. What am I?”

Everyone watched with bated breaths as both began to think heavily, not wanting to lose to a riddle. A minute ticked by in silence before both suddenly yelled out at the same time, “THE HEART!”

Antauri nodded as Gibson groaned, “Of course they answered at the same time….”

Sprx and Nova quickly began arguing over who answered, while Otto and Chiro both shared a look, ready to plan something else.

Antauri interrupted the chaos, “Perhaps it is best to discuss what movies you both wanted to watch and decide together.”

Nova huffed, “I wanted to watch a Nightmare before Christmas.”

Sprx quickly snapped his head from Antauri to Nova, “Wait really, I wanted to choose that one too!”

Gibson’s annoyed yell could be heard even outside the robot, “YOU MEAN THAT YOU COULD HAVE SOLVED THIS BY JUST TALKING THIS OUT AT THE BEGINNING?!?!”

I love the concept of Baratie not just bc it's a sea restaurant and that's cool but because their policy is the absolute antithesis of "the customer is always right." Oh you wanna be a jerk to the staff? Get decked, loser. Being terrible on a date? Congratulations, our sous chef will steal your girl. Ordered a wine that pairs badly? Ignored, we're picking a better one. It's like objectively the funniest way to run a restaurant and I can't stop thinking about it.

YOU GET IT

Another option is that Grace sees Lighter's gauntlets? Fire gauntlets and wants a closer look.

Who would you bet on in this duel?!

In my TOTALLY unbiased opinion, I bet Anton would win because we’ve seen him stop Grace’s rampaging children with his bare hands in chapter 2. He’s got the chops!!

[noviablast]

Alright, I'mma throw my hat in here and do an analysis.

So, yes, it is correct that Anton does construction and has stopped Grace's machines single-handedly. He has a shit ton of physical strength for a labor intense job.

HOWEVER, Lighter is known as the undefeated champion for a reason. We've seen how strong some of the people in the outer ring are and there are likely a lot more that we haven't seen. Lighter also single-handedly fought off an entire group on his own.

While it is hard to *truly* give a definite answer while neither have properly interacted or shown us the full potential of their strength, based on pure strength alone Anton has it but I believe that endurance wise, Lighter wins on that. Regardless, it is likely to be a close match either way and if we are being real, the most likely reason one wins over the other is because of a distraction-

Transformers: MTMTE #15

How is Ratchet so Badass??? ???

[noviablast]

Listen, sometimes a ship is less about wanting them to kiss or have sex or whatever, and more about needing them to be so endlessly intertwined and connected to the point where they might as well be one creature.

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket

OTHER

first aid kit

 sunscreen

 a travel alarm clock or watch

 mylar emergency blanket

 a backpack is a must

 downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards

 sleeping bag

 travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror

 swiss army knife

 can opener
