August 14 Dancitron Movie Night - Star Trek tribbles episodes

Prowl is bothered by the apparent conservation of mass issues with the tribbles.

Everyone was tired.

ItsyBitsySpyers 7:57 pm *Soundwave is tucked into his corner of the couch, in a small slouch with his legs propped on feelers. His usual black glass is replaced by a thin red band and a white mask and he's just. Quietly petting Chimera. There are snacks on the bar.* boomtank 7:59 pm -too tired to notice this. He's exhausted and trying to organize things that aren't going so well- FakeProwl 7:59 pm *shows up, plops down, zones out* FakeProwl 7:59 pm *apparently this room collectively needs about 30 more hours of sleep* boomtank 8:00 pm -that would be nice- ItsyBitsySpyers 8:00 pm *Can he opt for 45?* Specs 8:00 pm ((can I type now)) Specs 8:00 pm ((YES)) Specs 8:01 pm ((I am free from the hell)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:01 pm *Soundwave gives Blaster the laziest of waves with a feeler end and pings Prowl hello.* Specs 8:01 pm *a small, fluffy dragon slides several plates onto the bar. energon cookies with silver orbs on them, truffles with highgrade centers, and chewy bars with lots of mercury. enjoy!* Bevel 8:02 pm *trundles in like a beacon of obnoxious positive energy to contrast with the rest of the room apparently?* boomtank 8:02 pm -waves back, before curling up in his selected chair, like he's about to take a nap- Bevel 8:02 pm *oh look swoop and impact have arrived to join her* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:02 pm *How tired is Laserbeak? Well, she's not even going to zip over to the bar. She's just going to do this.*

{{Swoop. Swoop, you get Bird snacks.}} Swoop 8:03 pm *slides in through the door* Swoop 8:03 pm *perks up at the instruction* Swoop 8:03 pm KAY Swoop 8:03 pm *skitters across the floor to go grab snacks, this is a serious Bird mission, he'll need to transform and use arms instead of just scooping things up in his beak* Impact 8:04 pm ((what's the movie?)) Impact 8:04 pm *waves at soundwave* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:04 pm ((is more trek because i didn't have time to get a movie)) Impact 8:04 pm *pause, new visor thing? 3:o cool!* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:04 pm *Another super-lazy wave in Bevel and Impact's direction. No flobster this time, right?* Impact 8:04 pm *waving resumes* boomtank 8:04 pm -tired wave at more people- ItsyBitsySpyers 8:05 pm {{Best Swoop.}} Impact 8:05 pm *waves at Prowl, too. she won't mind if he doesn't notice, though, he seems tired.* Bevel 8:05 pm *not tonight* FakeProwl 8:05 pm *Laserbeak isn't flying tonight?* Specs 8:05 pm *waves at impact* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:05 pm *Noooope.* FakeProwl 8:05 pm *is her energy zapped?—sorry—sapped?* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:05 pm ((LMFAO)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:06 pm *Why is Prowl asking? Shouldn't he know?* Swoop 8:06 pm *grabs enough treats to feed Grimlock and carts them over to Bird* Hi Bird ItsyBitsySpyers 8:07 pm {{Good. Mine mine.}} She's not even floating, y'all. She's just on the ground like a stack of plates. {{Hi. You have... four. That Bird thank you.}} Swoop 8:07 pm *sets the treats out in front of Bird is what can vaguely be said to resemble a line* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:08 pm ((3-8 MINUTE WARNING getcher snax)) Swoop 8:08 pm You sick Bird? Whirl 8:08 pm ((time for me to get my nuclear-strength ramen)) Specs 8:08 pm *waves at Whirl* I made some truffles for you to try, if you want? If Swoop didn't take them all? Whirl 8:08 pm ((...*spicy ramen)) FakeProwl 8:08 pm *slouches down and flops his head on the couch backrest.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:08 pm {{Nooooo. Sleepy.}} Swoop 8:08 pm Oh Whirl 8:08 pm *the moment he steps in, he is approached by that gregarious dragon from last week* ...oh. Uh. Truffles? As in, solid food? Swoop 8:09 pm *considers this information for a moment and then carefully slides his hands under Bird's wings, scooping her up and depositing her in his lap, still facing the treats* Swoop 8:09 pm *naps are in piles, this is the law of the Dino-land* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:09 pm *Good law. Happens to be shared in Minitopia.* Specs 8:10 pm Uh... Solid outside, liquid inside. Specs 8:10 pm Maybe I should have just brought in the centers instead. I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:10 pm @Prowl: (txt): Helm prop wanted? FakeProwl 8:11 pm Mmm... no. *he just got comfortable.* Whirl 8:11 pm You're not the first person to forget, and you won't be the last. *snorts* But, yeah, bring me something liquid next time, and we'll see. *and now, he will take his seat* Bevel 8:12 pm *goes to her usual seat after getting something simple to drink* Swoop 8:12 pm *absentmindedly traces at the darker bits of Laserbeak's wings and looks around, everyone is sleepy...... what fight did he miss????* Whirl 8:13 pm *a hell of a fight, is what it was* FakeProwl 8:13 pm *a good one* Bevel 8:13 pm *the same one she missed boo* FakeProwl 8:13 pm *prowl almost died and he wasn't even in it* Whirl 8:13 pm Though, I'll be honest, little dragon--it's got to be extreme for me to taste it at all. So you've gotta whip up something borderline NOXIOUS. Swoop 8:13 pm *would be offended and whiney if not for the lap full of Bird... that's pretty good* Impact 8:13 pm *belatedly* HI WHIRL! Whirl 8:14 pm *bobs his head at Impact* Specs 8:15 pm I can't exactly taste my own craft. Organic, and all. I could try, um, melanterite? Tarantulas says that one tastes strong, if my memory serves. *the dragon trails off, muttering to herself about mixes* Swoop 8:15 pm *has Bird in his lap and a shitton of treats laid out in front of them, not an ideal situatoin for antoher Dinobot to meander in on* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:16 pm ((WARNINGS... uh, i guess if you're allergic to fur this is gonna be a bad night for you)) Specs 8:16 pm ((are we doing the tribbles)) Impact 8:16 pm ((oh gosh is this what i think it is)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:16 pm ((all three eps)) Specs 8:16 pm ((YES)) Impact 8:16 pm ((3:D)) Slag 8:17 pm *squints at Swoop* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:17 pm *Laserbeak is idly stuffing snacks in her mouth one at a time without moving from Swoop* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:17 pm ((finishing grabbing hot dogs one sec)) FakeProwl 8:17 pm ((hot dogs!!)) Swoop 8:17 pm *doesn't even notice the squinting, he has a Bird to pet kthx* Impact 8:18 pm ((ma, i could go for a hot dog right now)) Slag 8:18 pm (( *in the progress of inhaling a burrito after missing breakfast and lunch* )) Whirl 8:18 pm I'll try it. But there's a drink here, the Gaugebuster--it's my favorite--and it's so spicy that the fumes alone make most of the mecha in this room cough if they sit within ten feet of me.

And to me it's an extremely mild flavor. So that's the level of "not being able to taste" you're working with here. Slag 8:19 pm *looks at Swoop. Looks at Laserbeak. Looks at Slendy. Looks at Swoop.* Specs 8:19 pm Oh boy. This'll be fun. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:19 pm [[We seem to have most of everyone.]] Long vent. Motion in the direction of the screen. [[Let these be a lesson to you.

When you not Sleepy Bird anymore, You tell Swoop about FIGHT : > Bevel 8:22 pm Would Impact like to sit on my shoulder to see better? boomtank 8:22 pm -would like to know what happened to the rest of the room, but...tired- ItsyBitsySpyers 8:22 pm *One feeler moves out from beneath Soundwave's legs - the other shifts to take its place - and instead slithers across the back of the couch and down the side, so the tendrils are away from Prowl's head.* Impact 8:22 pm WOULD I?! 38D ItsyBitsySpyers 8:23 pm {{Who saying Bird fight? Bird say fight?}} FakeProwl 8:23 pm *watches the tendrils go by, but doesn't even twitch.* Bevel 8:23 pm *will allow self to be a jungle gym for the evening* Swoop 8:23 pm Keheehee, nooo!

The one with melanterite in it. That was a bit of a failure, hah. Slag 8:26 pm *disgruntled noises* Swoop 8:26 pm *unless that escalates to murder noises, Swoop's going to keep scritching Bird's back* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:27 pm *If Swoop keeps that up she's gonna fall aslseep for real.* Specs 8:27 pm *gently pushes the cookie further under Slag's nose* Slag 8:27 pm *blinks at cookie under his nose.

FakeProwl 11:17 pm *leaning against soundwave, having turned his optics off shortly after impact left,* Always. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:23 pm @Prowl: (txt): Avatar processing requirement known. Can deactivate, if needed. Sp...

Flashes of blue in his mind.

(txt): ...Strain understood, remembered. This, not - not glass. Acceptance offer, if believed necessary. Discarded otherwise. FakeProwl 11:26 pm ... I am here by my choice, not by your request. FakeProwl 11:26 pm And I've been finding ways to streamline the process, so it costs less processing power to maintain. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:28 pm *Discarded it is. He wasn't sure. Prowl gets caught up in expectations sometimes, and they've settled into a dozing pattern like this, so.*

*Tiny interested shift.*

(txt): Would share? Imitation room strain: heavy. FakeProwl 11:30 pm ... My—my streamlines? ItsyBitsySpyers 11:30 pm (txt): Affirmative. FakeProwl 11:33 pm I... don't know if they would work for anyone but me. Probably not. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:35 pm *Disappointed, but he understands why that might be.*

(txt): Understood. Achievement remains impressive. FakeProwl 11:36 pm Not that much of an achievement. I've simply had regular practice. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:38 pm (txt): Megatron practiced leadership often. That not improved. Soundwave upholds judgment. FakeProwl 11:39 pm Did he? I thought he practiced tyranny and called it leadership. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:41 pm (txt): That, probable reason progress not made. Xenobotanist studying metallurgist textbook also poor student. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:42 pm *...Was that too unclear in their current state? It probably was. Oh well.* FakeProwl 11:43 pm *... he's still trying to figure that out.* FakeProwl 11:43 pm *... oh.* Poor xenobotany student. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:43 pm *Nod.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:48 pm @Prowl: (txt): ...Query. FakeProwl 11:49 pm Yes? ItsyBitsySpyers 11:50 pm *Ask about the three pings. Ask about the three pings. ASK ABOUT THE THREE PINGS.*

@Prowl: (txt): Kaon pits. Senator presence, condition shock remembered. Prowl would see, if shown? ItsyBitsySpyers 11:50 pm *DAMN IT.* FakeProwl 11:52 pm *turns on his optics so he can look at Soundwave* The pits where they made you fight? Why? FakeProwl 11:52 pm I mean, yes—probably—I would—but, why? Yesterday ItsyBitsySpyers 11:58 pm *Rough vent. He'd wanted lighter fare for what time he had left before he passed out, but... it seemed his filters had a mind of their own. He hadn't meant to ask that for a another couple of weeks. Suppose there's no choice but to explain now*

@Prowl: (txt): More circumstance, choice understanding. Senator hypocrisy depth demonstration. Not...

*His hand twitches. How does he put this. His brain module won't spit it out right. Here's his best try.*

(txt): Show past. Truth, not gloss, guarded versions.

(txt): ...Also emberstone location. Plant show promised. FakeProwl 12:05 am *a slow, thoughtful nod.* ... I'll see it. After I've recovered. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:18 am (txt): Acknowledged. Recovery need shared, reasons: different. Predacon inhabitant bribe acquisition also required.

*Quiet for a second. Or, well. He's always quiet. There just isn't any transmission of written sentences.*

(txt): Prowl spark

*Twinge.*

(txt): ...If Prowl: carrier unit, jump choice: honorable, devoted action. Prowl: not; spark design not support-oriented. Greater sacrifice. Not unnoticed.

(txt): Anything recovery needs, given, within ability. FakeProwl 12:25 am The Predacons live there now? You're sure it's wise to enter their territory, even with a bribe? *last Prowl saw of them, they seemed... hostile.*

*Ah, yes. right. Prowl glances down, shrugging off the praise. Sacrifice. He was surrounded by people who tried to sacrifice themselves at the drop of a hat for far lesser causes than that. What was sacrifice worth?*

It was the right thing to do. *a pause.* I don't know if it was the correct thing to do. But it was the right thing. FakeProwl 12:26 am ... It's what he would have done. FakeProwl 12:26 am Not for ME, of course. But in general. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:32 am (txt): Not certain. However, ours not destroyed. Chances: higher. More, if respect paid.

*And a little deal with Starscream might help. If he can get Starscream to talk to him for five minutes.*

(txt): Right thing. Correct thing. If that, also Springer's general choice, Springer: impressive creation.

*Something awkward nearly slips out of his thoughts. He catches it and stuffs it into the nearest storage space to hide it.*

ItsyBitsySpyers 12:34 am *He's getting too tired. Much longer and he'll accidentally say something too personal, like last time.*

*So he pings Prowl affection, as usual - one ping? ... Yes. Just one ping. This time. He's not - it's not - he has to think about things. And gives the shoulder he's on a good nuzzling before dimming his lights.* FakeProwl 12:35 am He's impressive, yes—but he's an impressive person, not an impressive creation. Nothing Tarantulas or I did made him that way.

*And Prowl doesn't want Springer to be seen as a "creation." He's spent Springer's entire life ensuring he wouldn't be seen as a creation.*

*a returned nuzzle, and a returned affection ping. just one, this time.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:39 am (txt): Impressive person.

*He hadn't meant creation as an object. More of a... a child, is probably the term. But he'll take the verbal correction.*

*...And curl up tighter than usual at the loss of the other two pings.*

*That shouldn't make his chassis ache. He doesn't even know if he was reading them right. Probably just seeing too much in them, like the hopeful fool he knows better than to be.*

*It does anyway.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:39 am (txt): Goodnight, Prowl. FakeProwl 12:42 am *Prowl, oblivious to the emotional turmoil he just caused, pulls up his knees and leans more heavily against Soundwave.* Good night.
