🌟

Send 🌟 for my muse to tell yours about a childhood memory!

The twins glance at each other, seemingly considering their response for several moments before Sunstreaker curls his shoulders forward, crossing his arms over his chestplate.

"It's... faint, mostly. But I remember sitting next to a pile of scrap metal with Sides, hungry, scared, angry... we were alone. Don't remember why."

"Heard later that some folks think we got abandoned because of what we are," Sideswipe interjects. "Some scrap about spark split twins being bad omens. Signs of the doombringer or some scrap like that. Got us left to die in the wastes together."

"Had to be something like that, right? We weren't forged. We're sparkborn."

"Yeah. Doesn't matter, though. We were there, and then Jazz was there. We didn't know him from Primus at the time, of course, but you get the idea. He's the only reason we're alive. Stayed there for what felt like ages, just... trying to convince us to come over to him."

"We were never alone after that."

How to care for,

Make sure you tell them theyre cared for.

Lots of treats. Movie night, new supplies.

Bob new squeaky toys.

Alot of tight hugs.

Anonymously or not, send “How To Care For” instructions for my muse

Both of them sniff indignantly, but Bob at least seems excited. Not that either of them really means that indignant behavior, though. Kup's got them both pegged.

😶 + On a scale of mildly uncomfortable, to the absolute worst pain imaginable, how painful is it to have your head taken off but still be alive?

Send 😶 + a really uncomfortable question and my muse has to answer it

Sunstreaker scowls, his plating flaring up the middle of his back like an angry cat lifting its hackles. It's a reaction that doesn't last long, though, as Sideswipe is quick to move in, curling an arm around his brother's shoulders before pulling him in close, their helms touching.

No sound from either of them for a few moments. Just the quiet, their systems running the only audible sounds.

It's Sideswipe who finally answers.

"It fuckin' sucks, if you have to know. He's lucky they didn't finish all the shit they wanted to do to him. There's some fucked up people in the world."

[gemiinus]

There's an offered servo for both of the mechs, he knows physical affection is odd for some of the younger mechanicals.

If taken he'll pull both in for a light hug. A servo reaching up to give a soft pat to the back of Sideswipes helm. "I hope you two both know there will always be a place in my rabble, I hope you both know that.."

Touch my muse

The pair hesitates a moment before accepting the outstretched servos, and neither one of them resists when they're pulled in close. The pat to the back of Sideswipe's helm causes him to duck his head slightly, closer to the old-timer.

Both of them seem at least somewhat more settled at the contact from someone they trust.

The red twin grins, just slightly, and leans into the old mech.

"We do. Thanks, Kup."

[gemiinus]

How many presents did you two get? Plus Bob.

Ask my muse anything you want on anon!

"Just one, technically, from Kup. He got us some new rags and polishes, and art supplies for Sunny." Sideswipe glances over as Bob skitters excitedly across the floor after the toy Kup left for him. "It's fine. We weren't really popular before or even during the war, and we don't really care much for holidays. So this was nice enough."

[gemiinus]

What are your thoughts on humans?

Ask my muse anything you want on anon!

Sunstreaker immediately bristles, bunting his head lightly against Sideswipe's as he mutters, "Not a huge fan. They never treated us well. Tried to torture me. Act like all of us conspired to make their lives hell."

Sideswipe gives a sigh, leaning into his twin. "It was a lot. But hey, you found Bob. And we found each other again."

"Guess that's something."

[gemiinus]

Least favorite thing and most favorite thing about your twin?

Ask my muse anything you want on anon!

Sideswipe gestures at his brother. "Least favorite thing? He's vain as fuck. Favorite thing, have you seen his artwork? He's stupid good."

Though Sunstreaker makes a face at the initial comment, he nods towards his brother. "Least favorite is that he always comes back filthy from drives. But... my favorite is that he always has my back. No matter what I've done."

[gemiinus]

Which of the two of you is more cuddly?

Ask my muse anything you want on anon!

Both of them answer at the exact same time, saying two different things, but it's the exact same answer.

"Sideswipe." "I am."

[gemiinus]

So is kup your old dad or something er sire or trainer I don't know hoe your relationships go

Ask my muse anything you want on anon!

Sunstreaker snorts, dusting off his arm briefly. "He's definitely not our sire. We don't know our sire."

"Yeah, we don't know our sire." Sideswipe leans his hand towards his twin. "We were abandoned."

"Kup's kept our afts out of the fire a lot, though. We'd probably be dead if he hadn't kept his optics on us more often than not."

[gemiinus]

Innermost Energon - What thing could you not live without?

Parts Asks

There's a clear moment of pause, the twins looking at each other with furrowed browridges. Then, after a moment or two of consideration, they look forward, standing shoulder to shoulder.

"My paints," is Sunstreaker's reply, though he follows it up quickly. "Then probably this asshole."

Sideswipe makes a face at him. "Driving, I guess. But then yeah, probably this sourpuss."

[gemiinus]

Dentae - Do you have any mineral additives you like in your energon? (For both boys naturally(

Parts Asks

"Sunny likes copper. Says he likes something that's more bitter. Matches his personality!"

Sideswipe shrugs, then grins as he ducks a swipe from Sunstreaker, who gives an indignant sniff before he speaks. "Sides likes sulfur. Primus knows why."

[gemiinus]

They're both 10s but I can't tell em apart

Send “They’re ’s a 10, but..” and fill in the rest to call out my muse!

Sideswipe grins as Sunstreaker rolls his optics, leaning against his brother with a lopsided grin.

"Come on, old timer. We're at least different colors!"

[gemiinus]

random lyrics sentence starters.

@gowithplana said: " Sit down, breathe, and just listen. "

Neither twin moves for a moment or three, tense with their plating flattened against their frame. It's their natural response... their way of protecting themselves from danger. From those that would do them further harm than what's been done to them already.

Strangers are, naturally, a huge risk in any situation. But for now, they sit still and they watch.

Their shoulders remain touching, optics bright and focused. At the very least, they're giving him as close to the benefit of the doubt as they can muster.
