#I envy people who fall asleep in less than 30 minutes

[valewritessss]

Headcanon that Annabeth takes a long time sometimes hours to fall asleep and wakes up very easily due to being ready for combat 24/7 and Percy falls asleep right away and has nightmares almost every night(some he doesn’t remember) so he startles awake every morning

[rongasm]

I’m going to take a minute and do something I rarely do. I’m going to compliment myself. Because I did something in 2017 that I am proud of, and I want to carry it into 2018 with me.  

I grew in 2017. Most of it was actually backwards-- I was more apologetic and less aggressive; I gained more weight than I did wisdom; I wrote less than I usually do because I forced myself to understand that sometimes you have to make the choice you don’t prefer.

But I also did something that I legitimately never thought I would be able to do: In 2017, I discovered that I could be happy for people without being jealous.

Maybe for someone reading this post, this statement is ridiculously stupid. Like, duh, you can be happy for people without being jealous. It’s easy. Unfortunately, I have a dreadful case of only child syndrome. I’m the epitome of the only child cliche, and although I’ve spent my life trying to hide this particular flaw, I’ve always coveted items, experiences, and even compliments that other people had but I did not. 

There was a moment recently in which I heard about something wonderful that normally would have caused a tug at my heart because I wanted it. I’ve always had this physical reaction to wanting things, like my mouth is mine but my heart and stomach are Veruca Salt’s. So I waited, not only for the twinge in my body, but also for the immediate scolding that I would give myself because this moment was not about me, and shut the fuck up. 

But the tug never came. Instead, I took a step back and I catalogued my emotions. Did I want the thing? Yes. Was that tempering my joy for my friend in that moment? For the first time in my life, I could say... no. Legitimately, no. 

I mean. It was lit.

Assuming it was a one off, I started paying more attention to the way I was feeling when I would have expected myself to be jealous. Due to the fact that it’s something I’ve been scolding myself for since I was in elementary school, it was instinct to consider my selfish feelings. But these past few months I have been lucky to learn positive empathy on a level that does not include envy. I can feel unhindered joy for the other person and be so glad that they have what they have without momentarily resenting them because I want it. And, honestly, I’m wicked proud of myself for it because it’s something I assumed I’d never be able to grow out of. 

2017 was tough, and I leaned on people too much, but that meant I got so much love from people who were kind enough to care about me. I had a friend who knew I was lonely at school so she went out of her way to spend lots of extra time with me. I had another friend who would text and call me to make sure I was okay when I was at my worst or most stressed. I had a mentor who was there for me whenever I needed her, who gave me the love and logic I couldn’t always give myself. I had people who knew when to step back and step forward. The number of people who texted and tweeted me when Rosa Diaz came out as bisexual? Priceless. 

Internet friends became real life friends, real life friends became even closer friends than before. I had a night when my mom was so worried about me, she made me sleep in bed with her, and she let me re-watch 13 Going On 30 on repeat until I finally stopped shaking long enough to fall asleep. I saw my dad cry for the first time and it was an incredible reminder of how much he loves me. I had some of the best, and most needed, hugs of my life. 

But ultimately I think that receiving all that love taught me to stop thinking of myself in moments when someone is taking pictures in front of a Broadway marquee or ripping open a gift to reveal something that I would want. People are amazing. Good people deserve the best things. In 2017, good people not only gave me the gift of their words, time, and affection, they also gave me so much love that it made me get over a lifelong habit that I had never thought I would shake, and without even consciously attempting to do so. I’ve been incredibly lucky, and I’m grateful.

This post is a call-out at my future self. This whole-hearted enthusiasm for other people’s blessings is the best thing you did in 2017. Do not fucking lose it.

How to Fall Asleep Fast (10 Proven Effects of Sleep Deprivation)

Ever wonder why you can't sleep fast?

So you say you can’t sleep well, and you don’t know why, because you feel good and do all the right things in your life to get a decent night’s sleep. What you don’t know is that you actually don’t do the things that are conducive to getting a solid eight hours, with those needed spurts of rapid eye movement. There are things you do that you are not even aware of that effect you getting the requisite hours in deep sleep mode, and today we are going to tell you what you’re doing wrong.

The Era of sleep deprivation and what it experts reveals

So first of all, you’re not alone. Did you know that in the USA it’s reported that a whopping 60 percent of people have trouble sleeping most nights or even every night? That’s according to the National Sleep Foundation and when it comes to sleep deprivation this organization knows what it’s talking about. The same study tells us that 43 % of those people rarely or never get a good night’s sleep, well, at least people aged 13 to 64. A lot of those folks say they don’t even get six hours’ sleep a night, and the word on the street is we should get seven to nine hours if we want to feel good.

The effects of sleep deprivation era is here, and there is one big reason why we seem to be sleeping less. The reason is technology, with the National Sleep Foundation reporting that 95 percent of people use an electronic gadget of some kind right before bed.

Gadgets and effects on sleep deprivation

You watch series or videos just before you intend to sleep? But we are not just talking about phones, TVs are included in the list of gadgets. This is what one expert said about gadget use before bed, “Artificial light exposure between dusk and the time we go to bed at night suppresses the release of the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin, enhances alertness and shifts circadian rhythms to a later hour—making it more difficult to fall asleep. ” We are not saying don’t use gadgets, but perhaps if you want to get your eight hours and drift off quickly you might think about not looking at a screen for the two hours before you intend to sleep.

Using laptops and phones before going to bed

Around 60 percent of people in one study said they use their laptop or phone right before they go to bed, and some of them play computer games which are really not conducive to making yourself tired. Another sleep expert said this about that, “Over the last 50 years, we've seen how television viewing has grown to be a near constant before bed, and now we are seeing new information technologies such as laptops, cell phones, video games, and music devices rapidly gaining the same status.” You might think it doesn’t affect you at all, but according to those experts it does and there’s data to back that up. We should add that the artificial light theory about keeping us awake is controversial and so more research needs to be done.

Phone alerts are the culprit

According to studies a lot of Americans leave their phone alerts on during the night, and one in ten people interviewed said their phone woke them up during the night at times. Just turn off the alerts, it’s simple to do. The problem these days is that many people have online friends all over the world, so when you’re trying to sleep in the UK your friends in the USA are sending you photos of kittens on Facebook Messenger. You might have a client in Asia who keeps posting stuff about work to you when you’re trying to sleep in Canada. You may wake up and not know why, but often it’s because something went down in that phone of yours. Teenagers are mostly affected by not getting a good sleep

Another study said younger folks were terrible at this, saying that 72 percent of American kids aged 6-17 go to bed with their phone. In the past kids might have slept with a furry bear or a book, and those things don't make any noise. Why do people these days feel they need to sleep with their phone? What’s so important that it can’t wait?

Are you really that addicted to the thing?

Technology is what keeping you awake

Co-founder of the Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington, has said in interviews that this tech addiction is a major issue and is affecting the mental health of people. She said the parents are often as bad as the kids, so they need to start setting a better example. She talks about the dopamine hits we get from technology, and so scrolling through Facebook right before bed is not a good idea. When she sleeps there is no technology in her room at all. You might also get stressed by looking at social media before bedtime. You really don’t want to get a shot of envy right before you try and fall asleep.

“Oh, look, there’s my friend on the beach in some country I can’t afford to go to.” This is not what you want in your head before you try and fall asleep.

No electronic screen at least 2hrs before bedtime

Our advice is simple. Do not look at any electronic screens at least 2hrs before bedtime. You might not believe it, but it’s negatively affecting your sleep cycle. If you’re a parent, don’t allow tech in your kids’ bedrooms.

If you’re a kid, wise up and turn that stuff off. Show some self-control ...and if we are starting to sound like we are giving you a lecture, we should say that we only just started doing this ourselves. We can tell you that we started to sleep better.

What else can affect your sleep besides gadgets?

Now let’s say you don’t use electronic gadgets but still can’t sleep. You are not depressed or particularly stressed and so don’t know what the problem is. You haven’t just fallen in love or lost a job. You’re fine, but sleeping is hard work for you.

You know, it could be those coffees you are having in the evening, or perhaps those cups of tea. We know those British folks love their tea and quite a few of them will have a “cuppa” in the evening, perhaps with their “supper”.

We know this because we’ve seen it firsthand. That cup of the finest Tetley’s tea could actually be keeping those Brits awake. That cappuccino from Starbucks the American had at 7 pm could ruin that person’s sleep. This is the lowdown on the drug caffeine. Once you’ve had your hit you’ll peak around 30 to 60 minutes later. That buzz will then plateau, but caffeine has a half-life of five to six hours, meaning this is the time it takes for your body to get rid of half of the drug. You’ll still have some caffeine in your system for hours after that.

Consuming caffeine before going to bed

Now, as you know, it’s not as if caffeine can be compared to a substance such as ice, the illegal kind, but it is a stimulant. And we should say that Americans love the stuff, perhaps just as much as those Brits love their tea. One study we found said this, “The average daily consumption of caffeine by adults in the U.S. is about 300 mg per person. This is about three times higher than the world average. But it is still only half of the caffeine consumption in heavy tea-drinking countries such as England and Sweden.” Some people like coffee too much, and while there are many positive effects to having that shot of espresso, you can go overboard. In extreme cases, believe it or not, people have died from overdosing on caffeine. In less extreme cases people just feel wired. That might not be so bad in the morning, but at night time it can be a nightmare.

Take away to sleep well

Sugar, carbs, and fats are the worst things to eat late, so perhaps we’ll forgive you for having one small bite of a banana. This is the conclusion of one article we found, “Eating during bedtime hours – whether it’s a large dinner or a small snack while watching your favorite TV show — while it may seem to help you fall asleep, may actually harm your overall health and metabolism, creating added stress inside the body.” So, there you go. If you are healthy and not suffering from some physical or mental disease this might be the reason you are not sleeping well. It’s really simple advice to follow. Just turn off your gadgets two hours before bed. Don’t consume caffeine at least six hours before bed and don’t eat before you sleep. If indeed you are reading this at midnight with your mouth full of chocolate being cement-mixed with Coca-Cola you are basically creating a perfect storm of bad sleep. Or do you disagree?

April 3 Soundwave Stream - Dial M For Murder

An excellent murder investigation. Prowl approves. Windchill annoyed Tarantulas so much he straight up left.

Tailblinking: !!! Tailblinking: Earth 80s are- so very upbeat/ Chaoit: -wanders in- NoodlesAtNight: *Soundwave's cleared a bunch of space, moved the chairs around, all that. Get snacks, get where you wanna be, get comfy.* Chaoit: -flops into a seat. tired- NoodlesAtNight: [[Greetings.]] Chaoit: Hey there NoodlesAtNight: [[You look less spirited than usual.]] Tailblinking: *Snacks? Don't mind if he did.* Chaoit: Huh? Oh. Just a bit...um...stressed? NoodlesAtNight: *Nods to Jitter.* [[Why?]] Chaoit: Paperwork. Infighting. Chaoit: Politics. NoodlesAtNight: *Small amused nod* NoodlesAtNight: ((is it jumpy for anyone else or is my internet just crap today)) NoodlesAtNight: ((six minutes, also)) Tailblinking: //doing alrigh on my end Chaoit: -leaning back in the chair- I need a vacation Chaoit: ((and it's all good NoodlesAtNight: [[You have tonight, at least.]] Chaoit: Which is appriciated Prowl: *guess who's walking in under his own power AND isn't spontaneously saying everything he thinks* Prowl: *THIS GUY* NoodlesAtNight: *Congratulations, Prowl!

I know, I know- isn't time funny that way? chronosmith: *come to the back where the spiders and Weird Birds hang out Tara* NoodlesAtNight: *Blandly pleasant return ping to Tarantulas* NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): ...This lean, return to wanted contact after startle? Effect only? NoodlesAtNight: [[Even Kup smokes smaller ones.]] chronosmith: Pipes: It sure gets away from you. Prowl: @Soundwave «I want this contact.» *not sure what Soundwave means by "effect only."* Tailblinking: //wow people have the memory of an elephant i can barely remember who I talked to in the super market let alone who was at school with. Tarantulas: *yeah he's gonna go sit next to whirl and airachnid, pfft he's not paying attention to the movie, that much is clear* chronosmith: Whirl: *nods cordially * Sup. NoodlesAtNight: *...All right. As long as he's not being treated like a jealousy creation tool or something.* NoodlesAtNight: (txt): Understood. Airachnid: [she watches Tarantulas for a bit, she's not used to seeing him in this kind of place] NoodlesAtNight: [[A gas ring? Is this like a smoke ring?]] chronosmith: ((ok, brb, i am gonna make my dinner)) Tarantulas: *greets whirl also, sprawling somewhere in a Totally Casual Way* Prowl: *the last thing he wants to do is create jealousy in tarantulas. a jealous tarantulas is, most likely, a dangerous tarantulas.* Tarantulas: *jealousy isn't the problem - remember what he said about envy, soundwave? but right now it seems he doesn't want to interfere, that's all* chronosmith: ((The Sprawl off begins. WHO CAN BE MORE DISMISSIVELY CASUAL? there can be only one sprawl king)) Tarantulas: *all good, whirl, tarantulas -* Tarantulas: *cannot sit still for more than a minute* Airachnid: [you do not want to play the sprawl game with mecha with many legs] Prowl: *if anything, though, leaning back on Soundwave was his way of stating that he's decided he's not going to be afraid of Tarantulas's jealousy.* NoodlesAtNight: [[...They're very casual about the idea of murdering their partners.]] NoodlesAtNight: *Awww.* Prowl: They are. Airachnid: I know I've done it with romantic partners of mine. Tailblinking: *He'd zoned out from the movie for a bit, with it was chattering... but now its getting kinda intense.* Airachnid: Though not everyone was thrilled about my plans. Tailblinking: ....Oh. Here he goes. Chaoit: ...he's not gonna kill here Tarantulas: *wait what the heck is this movie about, tara might start to pay attention* Chaoit: *her Tailblinking: He's at least makin' him sweat and flee. Tailblinking: But he was wiping away all the prints. Chaoit: He's gonna try to kill him NoodlesAtNight: [[Is that what that was?]] Airachnid: Oh. Even MORE interesting. Airachnid: It's a web of murder. Tailblinking: Can't believe that guy hasn't gotten the hint and made himself scarece Prowl: He's being blackmailed into staying. He can't afford to leave. Wheeljack: playstation? Tarantulas: *snrk at web of murder comment* Airachnid: : 3c Tarantulas: *he's gonna start webbing something like a cat's cradle, totally the best distraction* Prowl: ... How old is this movie? Humans were using fingerprints back then? NoodlesAtNight: [[It is from their year.... 1954.]] Prowl: Hm. Prowl: I thought they began the practice in the 1980s. NoodlesAtNight: [[And he believes the human said police station, not playstation.]] Tarantulas: Nono, the 30s. *offhand* Wheeljack: No he said playstation Wheeljack: They had playstations that early? wow NoodlesAtNight: *Glances over at Tarantulas.* [[How do you know?]] smoketopus: 😮 How much did I miss? chronosmith: Whirl: *watches Tarantulas weave idly; he knew Airachnid did this, but it's the first time he'* chronosmith: s seen Tarantulas do it* Tailblinking: I'm- incredibly lost. Tarantulas: *smokey!! he gets a wave, although it seems weak* NoodlesAtNight: *Nods to the newcomers* Tarantulas: *also all sw gets is the equivalent of a ping-shrug* Wheeljack: Did his wife break his playstation or somethin smoketopus: /Excited waving at Messy- maybe seeing if he can sit near Tarantulas at all/ Tailblinking: Missed some dialog, so don't know what he's got o this guy. But geeze, they're both diabolical. Wheeljack: to the wall Tarantulas: *there's plenty of room, tara's back with whirl and airachnid* Airachnid: [prepare to sit near Airachnid Smokey] chronosmith: *and Whirl* Prowl: He DID live on Earth for quite some time. smoketopus: /He can handle that, he likes Whirl and he has a "present" for Airachnid anyway/ smoketopus: /Not right now but later at least/ Airachnid: [if it's what she think it is, he can go shove it up an exhaust port] NoodlesAtNight: [[The human in dark grey has blackmailed the criminal human in light grey into murdering his mate because his mate has broken their relationship agreements. They are now planning her murder.]] Chaoit: -back to taking a nap- smoketopus: Oh. That's pretty rude. chronosmith: Well, the gist of it, Jitter, is that they're planning an elaborate murder. chronosmith: ^Pipes smoketopus: /Going to try to sit on Tarantulas, in any case!/ chronosmith: Pipes: And, yeah... her conjunx is. Just awful if he's going to murder her like that. NoodlesAtNight: *Pings Prowl a thank you and Tarantulas a simple acknowledgment of the non-answer. Politeness, if nothing else* Tarantulas: *....mrr, he's a little grumpy but he'll let smokey sit NEXT to him and lean on him* Tailblinking: Well- yeah, I figured that, Pipes. Just such so much effort into hurtin' someone instead of just, y'know, leavin' them to be misrable alone. chronosmith: Pipes: People tend to get like this when there's money or power involved, sadly. smoketopus: /Aww, fair enough./ How're you doing, Messy? And Whirl! You're cool! How're you? NoodlesAtNight: *He does admire the thoroughness of this human's work.* chronosmith: Whirl: *nods to Smokescreen; Whirl seems cool enough with him* Makin' it. Little bit under the weather, but I can't complain. Wheeljack: she has to die because of a playstation? Prowl: *is very, very, very, very, very slowly tensing up* smoketopus: /ALSO WAVING AT WHEELJACK!/ NoodlesAtNight: [[There is no playstation.]] Wheeljack: Hey Tarantulas: *tara's still making the web in his claws, makes a noncommittal noise @ smokey* not terribly awfully, I suppose NoodlesAtNight: *Can Soundwave feel the tensing?* Prowl: *probably* Airachnid: [she's ignoring Wheeljack because he seems to be an idiot or just irritating] Wheeljack: Soundwave, but he said the playstation Tailblinking: *A dismayed sigh and mumble.* Pittible, that. NoodlesAtNight: *...Offers hand and an inquisitive ping* NoodlesAtNight: [[He said police station. The humans had not invented video games in their 1954.]] Prowl: *squezes hand. a bit tighter than necessary* chronosmith: Pipes: Wha even IS a--oh, thanks, Soundwave. *!! ANOTHER COMM--no. It seems not* chronosmith: Pipes: *got all excited about a possibly commercial, but alas, it is not to be* Tarantulas: (( awww pipes chronosmith: ((he knows what he's about0) NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt) Film: uncomfortable content? Tailblinking: *Pipes you missed a good one earlier. It was very bright and cherry* Tarantulas: *TARA IDENTIFIES. that human who said he'd screw everything up* chronosmith: Whirl: I mean... okay. I get that sometimes a subtle approach is necessary, but really, they're just sucking the fun out of killing somebody. Prowl: @Soundwave «While I was injured, I begged and pleaded Smokescreen to leave me alone. Smokescreen AND Black Shadow—the latter of whom threatened to show up in person.» chronosmith: Whirl: The least they can do is challenge her to a fight to the death and earn their murder. Prowl: @Soundwave «Now look. Who's. Here. In person. And could easily tell his "father figure" where I am.» smoketopus: That's good- sorry about, you know, the other day. ... You sure everything's okay? NoodlesAtNight: *Does not move his helm but can see Smokescreen from where he is. Curls his hand tighter and angles himself a little to block-protect a bit.* Tarantulas: *visor frown* /Which/ other day, hmm? smoketopus: You know- ... Well, a lot of the other days, you know. A couple days ago- with the stupid decision? NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Will protect if Black Shadow arrives. Threat wanted? Airachnid: Did you mean your life Smokescreen? Airachnid: [no one asked her, but Smokescreen is here so might as well] smoketopus: ... Thanks, Airachnid. Tarantulas: *more intense visor frown at airachnid* chronosmith: Whirl: *snickers* Prowl: @Soundwave «Do threats work on an idiot like that?» Tailblinking: *-hops back* Tailblinking: did I miss it? chronosmith: Pipes: Not yet... Prowl: *jaw clenched and mouth set in a line. anger, not fear.* Tailblinking: //btw who is Guest? chronosmith: ((The one above you is Prowl; the other Guest is wheeljack)) Tailblinking: //much thanks Prowl: ((if it's me? I'm Prowl. rabbit doesn't always change nicknames like it should, even when you edit them)) chronosmith: (( o7 )) NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Some. Will attempt. Tarantulas: *to smokey* ......Hmn. It doesn't matter, don't worry about it. *pats him on the head* chronosmith: Whirl: I just don't get how anyone can get any kind of enjoyment out of such a boring murder. NoodlesAtNight: [[Their enjoyment is in getting away with it.]] Airachnid: I do not believe they are doing it for enjoyment. Prowl: @Soundwave «... What threat?» Tailblinking: *Frowns a bit more, and rolls on his back to watch the audience instead* chronosmith: Whirl: *considers both viewpoints; responds with a well thought-out and highly intelligent rebuttal* Lame. smoketopus: ... Really? Still, it was pretty inconvenient for you, right? /Going to affectionately headbutt!/ Airachnid: [how eloquently expressed] Yes well, they clearly don't want to get their own hands dirty. chronosmith: Whirl: Also lame. NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Non-physical. Potential reputation damage, Optimus Prime death reminders. chronosmith: Pipes: *flips up his visor and leans forward, squinting at the screen* Tarantulas: *catches the headbutt with a spider leg* Yes, but I'd rather not dwell. It's - *the movie!!* chronosmith: Whirl: HAHA! Airachnid: [chuckling] smoketopus: ... Oh. Ohhh- that was good. I was worried that she'd- Prowl: @Soundwave «"Reputation damage"?» chronosmith: Pipes: Serves him right. Tailblinking: --ohno Tailblinking: I did miss it. Tailblinking: *Zoned out for a confrence call. Tailblinking: What a twist! Tailblinking: -oh! Tarantulas: *does not like all this music, ugh. he's going to tune it out* chronosmith: Pipes: It's always kind of satisfying when someone who attacks what appears to be a harmless person gets proven so, so wrong. *lets his visor snap down* Tailblinking: So uh. What's she hit him with? The lamp? smoketopus: Scissors! chronosmith: Whirl: Stabbed him with some scissors. Airachnid: She stabbed him with scissors. Tarantulas: Fell on his back and pushed the scissor blade through his heart, really. chronosmith: Whirl: It was HILARIOUS. Airachnid: It was rather amusing. Tailblinking: Oh. Oh wow- thats kinda like the 'suicide disgused as murder' with the knife held with ice. NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): All future introductions reference poor Smokescreen decisions, embarrassing moments. To Decepticons, Prime obsession, near offer. Prowl: It's no surprise something went wrong, with such amateurish planning. Prowl: Their crime scene staging was ghastly. Tarantulas: They're /touching/ so many things Tarantulas: 😕 smoketopus: I was about to say! Isn't this seriously tampering with the scene? Tarantulas: Ah, good. *watches burn* Airachnid: [she is currently watching Tarantulas make whatever he's making] smoketopus: I mean, I guess he wouldn't care, but do humans actually care about that kinda thing, even? Tailblinking: Well, seein' as he was plotin' it... chronosmith: Pipes: *looks curiously to Prowl* Oh? How would you've planned it? smoketopus: Well, yeah. But you'd think someone would notice something weird, right? Prowl: @Soundwave «... You'll be blackmailing him in exchange for what behavior?» Tailblinking: that's a silly question, Pipes- we're talkin' about a different level of technology. chronosmith: Pipes: ...huh? *glances to Jitter* I wasn't talking about tech, just, you know. Ideas. Planning! Tarantulas: *tara finished something crochet-looking, then seemed dissatisfied and subspaced it. he's starting over again* Prowl: I wouldn't have planned a murder. But I WOULD have been able to tell with a minute of observation that the burglary was staged. Tailblinking: ...yeah? Well, I guess we all oughtta come up with our own murder pitch. smoketopus: I phase the person into the ground. No evidence to find then, right? chronosmith: Pipes: *nods, with a little laugh* Well, of course you wouldn't! It was just hypothetical. but even so, yeah, I guess that kinda analysis is right up your alley, huh? NoodlesAtNight: [[He can find things buried in the ground.]] NoodlesAtNight: *Lifts up a feeler* Tarantulas: ...It depends on the way the phase shifter works, which, you still haven't let me had a go at it smoketopus: ... Put that back, Sounds. smoketopus: What if it's I go down to the core of the Earth or something? smoketopus: ... You want a go now, Messy? NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Prowl left alone. Location not told. Chaoit: -sit up after his nap- Tarantulas: ......... smoketopus: /Offering the phase shifter over./ Chaoit: -feels a bit beter- Tarantulas: *to take or not to take* Airachnid: [a part of her wants to snatch the phase shifter, but it's not worth it] Tarantulas: ...I oughtn't now. Another time Tarantulas: *it pains him* smoketopus: Aww. I would've loved to teach you! But I can show you later, right? chronosmith: Whirl: *lifts his head suddenly; he seems to have been dozing off* Phasing evidence into the ground won't protect you if you left your smell all over everything. Tarantulas: Absolutely, Smokescreen. smoketopus: I take a bath afterwards so no one would know. Chaoit: Washing yourself doesn't get rid of the smell on the scene smoketopus: And THEN if anyone asks, I can be like "Someone made me take a bath" and have an alibi smoketopus: What if I meet them in a graveyard? smoketopus: And again, if no one sees the body, there's not going to be a scene chronosmith: Whirl: You can't wash off your SCENT. It's your scent. It's... it's YOU. The essence of Smokescreen. Eau d'Smokescreen. Chaoit: All smells are distinct smoketopus: Are they? I kinda doubt that. chronosmith: Whirl: That's cos you have a weak sense of smell. *pauses, peers* Or no sense of smell. smoketopus: ... Hey, I have a reasonable sense of smell! /Opening his mouth to sniff around the room/ Chaoit: .... chronosmith: Whirl: Well, mine's downright freakish. One of the few senses I got left! Tarantulas: Smokescreen, you really oughtn't try to plan a murder in public, much less in front of a - well. *was gonna say enforcer but prowl got upset when tara said he wasn't one anymore* Airachnid: [she'll flick her snake glossa as well, might as well show mecha with noses how she smells] smoketopus: I'm not planning on murdering anyone, so it's no deal- and I mean, I'm not worried about Airachnid hearing. chronosmith: Pipes: *leans forward and squints again; this detective is really great and entertaining* smoketopus: Murdering people kinda goes against helping Cybertron! NoodlesAtNight: *He really must watch Prowl in action again some time. The torn off bit they found on the Lost Light was interesting, but a full event...* Airachnid: [she squints at Smokescreen, she knows he's up to something] Tailblinking: *soft snickering and he rolls on his front again. Everyone is so very interesting in themselves.* Chaoit: -settles and watches, now- Prowl: *considers Soundwave's suggestion. There's a chance that if he does that, it will INSPIRE Smokescreen to share information he wouldn't have otherwise.* Tarantulas: *jitter'll see tara's crocheting a tiny protoform if he looks toward the corner* Tarantulas: *lil beb skeleton* Tailblinking: .... Airachnid: [she turns back to see what Tarantulas is doing] Tailblinking: *His eyes do go rather bright at that* Prowl: @Soundwave «What are the odds he'll be inspired to be contrary?» Tailblinking: ...Tara, what's that you're craftin? chronosmith: Whirl: *also glances over to take a look at this bit of art* Tarantulas: *it's only half made, head and arms* ...Err. A - something. Protoform, of course. Tailblinking: ...outta what? chronosmith: Whirl: Webbing. It's a spider thing. smoketopus: 😮 /Oooh, that's what that is?/ Just like that? That's really cool chronosmith: Whirl: You should see the hammocks that SHE makes. *nods at Airachnid* Tarantulas: *WHICH is not coming out his butt kthanks. he has spinnerets in his wrists* Airachnid: [chuckles] I can do a lot more than that. Tailblinking: *Optics flicker, and nose twitches* chronosmith: Whirl: Oh? Do tell. smoketopus: Really, Spidey? Any way I could do that ever? That seems cool! I mean, I can crochet, but it's not like I can MAKE it smoketopus: primus I hate these humans Airachnid: I can make silk fine enough to make clothing and blankets. chronosmith: Pipes: *also now looking back at Airachnid* Really? That's amazing! Airachnid: Yes, I had to make a living out of it for a while. I was an artisan after all. NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): ...Uncertain. *Now he's second-guessing his first suggestion.* Perhaps outgoing comm observation: better option. Tarantulas: *huh! neato* Might I ask for a sample sometime, Airachnid? chronosmith: Pipes: You'll hafta show me your work sometime--well, if you want to, I mean. *OH LOOK COMMERCIAL* NoodlesAtNight: *Heard the word "protoform", looks over at what Tarantulas is doing for a second* Airachnid: [and, just to demonstrate, starts to make webbing from her palms but pulls out a thin silk strand] chronosmith: Whirl: So you're an artist-turned-warrior too, huh? Tailblinking: Ah it got through the blockers. Prowl: @Soundwave «Are you going to keep observing after he's gone?» Airachnid: Yes. Chaoit: .... Airachnid: [pauses] Did you do artwork as well? Tailblinking: *Such talented mecha we've got here.* chronosmith: Whirl: *nods* My callsign's "chronosmith" for a reason. NoodlesAtNight: *Small nod.* Airachnid: [perks up] Oh, simply fascinating. Prowl: *mumbles* The husband's lucky the initial murder attempt failed. The new story is far more convincing than his original one was. Tailblinking: ...*stiffled laugher* Tailblinking: I see where this is gonna go. NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Will increase surveillance. If wanted, if fragile feeling not present. chronosmith: Whirl: *nods; it's more of an acknowledging gesture than an agreement* NoodlesAtNight: [[Clever writer.]] chronosmith: Pipes: Yeah! Chaoit: .... Chaoit: He's hitting the mark without aiming Airachnid: [withdraws the silk back into her palm spinnerets and goes back to looking at Whirl] Chaoit: isn't he? Prowl: @Soundwave «... Just until I'm out of the hospital.» Tailblinking: Okay so- I think im really enjoyin' this, as a bit of a dark comedy. NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Accepted. Tarantulas: ...Bets on how long until another human is murdered? smoketopus: 5 minutes Chaoit: Soon Airachnid: Also Tarantulas, you can have a sample yes. Just ask later and I'll give you some. Tarantulas: *visor smile at spide friend* Ah, thank you. I'll remind you before I depart. chronosmith: Whirl: *rests his head on his rotor array again, and starts to doze* Airachnid: [she nods in acknowledgement] NoodlesAtNight: [[...Is human law enforcement allowed to do that?]] chronosmith: Pipes: He's having a good time drawing him in, isn't he? Airachnid: [she's watching Whirl start to doze, it's cute to her] Prowl: He hasn't, technically, done anything illegal. smoketopus: /He miiight be staring at Whirl a little- that's kinda cute!/ chronosmith: *omg Airachnid* Tailblinking: well then chronosmith: *AND SMOKESCREEN* smoketopus: /Also might quietly push a cube of energon over- trying to be casual here!/ Prowl: Asking pointed questions and dropping his own key on the ground isn't against any rules. Tarantulas: *protoform done! it's actually a fullsize mech but heh, subspaced before anyone sees he made the equivalent of a robo voodoo doll* chronosmith: Pipes: Yeah, he was mainly using that whole... key thing as a big show. He was acting, making a big deal about how the keys all look alike, probably to see how the other guy reacted? chronosmith: Pipes: I wouldn't assume theatrics have a place in detective-work, but I guess it can be useful. Tarantulas: *he's making another doll now* Chaoit: .... Chillsins: *Look who it is, the death of the party* Tarantulas: *oooh is it windchill? nevermind tara, he's sitting near whirl, who's snoozing* chronosmith: Whirl* *he'd greet you but he's surrounded by spiders and apparently falling asleep* Prowl: That's not the most... tasteful side of detective work. But in the pursuit of the truth, it's permissible. Tailblinking: The writer of this is... really clever. I wonder what that detective is all up to. Chaoit: ...? chronosmith: Pipes: *he WILL greet, you, waving cheerfully* Hey, Windchill! *looks back to Prowl* Well, you'd know more than me. Good gracious, I hope *I'm* never responsible for solving a murder. Chillsins: *Maybe he doesn't want to talk to you guys anyway, NYAH* NoodlesAtNight: *Nods a greeting to Windchill* chronosmith: *HOW COULD YOU* Chillsins: *Waves at Pipes tho* chronosmith: *good* Prowl: I'm sure you won't have to worry about that. Chillsins: *He's going to find a spot to sit...in the back, and slurp on his dinner in passing. Loudly.* Prowl: *but Pipes would make a decent Good Cop* Tailblinking: *Looks for pipes reaction the second the pause hits* Prowl: ((cmon, if they're gonna interrupt with commercials, they should at least vary them up)) chronosmith: Pipes: *laughs* I'm sure, too! *FOR ONCE... he didn't immediately look up, he was chattin with his pal instead* Chillsins: (( Never )) NoodlesAtNight: *Is curious about these doll things. Stretches a feeler over to peer at one* chronosmith: Whirl: *does not wake; he's out. You could say all kinds of things about how helicopters are overrated and he will not defend himself( Chillsins: (( Jesus Christ brb. )) Tarantulas: *tara's leaning away from the feeler as not-rudely as he can, doesn't want to get within touching distance* NoodlesAtNight: *...Will withdraw it.* chronosmith: Pipes: *chuckles a little; he's really enjoying this detective* Prowl: ... What's she doing out? Isn't she supposed to be executed in a day? Chillsins: *Has no idea what's going on* NoodlesAtNight: [[Perhaps they let her free to prove a point.]] Tarantulas: Likely she's accompanied by an officer of some sort, behind her there chronosmith: Pipes: She's being escorted--maybe they were letting her visit her husband? I'm... not vey knowledgeable about these sorts of things. Tarantulas: Aha NoodlesAtNight: ((ah sorry i didn't know that would be a line, i've never seen this)) chronosmith: ((u fine, cro <3)) Chillsins: (( I missed it. )) chronosmith: Pipes: Well, there you have it! Airachnid: wait I walked away for a moment what)) Chillsins: (( I refuse to wear headphones or turn up the voume anymore this late in the gamr.) smoketopus: It's pretty hard watching how everyone's treating her here, I gotta say. Chillsins: *Realizes, quite suddenly, that he's bored.* chronosmith: Pipes: I guess it's kind of rough on her, but he's keeping her in the dark to keep his... experiments? I guess? Authentic. And that's to save her life... it's still kind of harsh, but if it works... Chillsins: *Sucks loudly through an improvised straw* Tarantulas: It's not so much hiding things from her as it is the attitude with which they're treating her, as far as I'm con - cerned. *GOSH thats annoying windchill, you get a sideeye* Tarantulas: *....side visor* chronosmith: Whirl: *antenna-twitch; that horrible sound might be giving him horrible dreams. It is a Mystery* smoketopus: Yeah! They keep treating her like she's... I don't know, a lot of the stuff making her doubt what she's thinking is kinda... It's pretty rough! Chillsins: *Sucks more. His cube isn't empty but he is a master at angling straws at JUST the right degree for maximum slurpitude.* Chillsins: *Stops slurping for half a second.* chronosmith: Pipes: Yeah, they can definitely be more sympathetic. Chillsins: Gaslighting? smoketopus: Yeah, it does kinda seem like that, especially with how they're acting like she's all ridiculous for what she's saying. Tailblinking: Poor gals still shell shocked from bein' on deathrow. Tarantulas: *merp. going to ignore bad squiggly feelings and also annoyance and keep talking* Yes, and quite casual sexist condecension, which always confuses me Tarantulas: Aha, there she goes smoketopus: Yeah! That's really fragged up. chronosmith: Pipes: *nods* I understand doing everything you can to save her life, but... it's got to be rough, going from expecting to be executed to finding out your conjunx tried to kill you. Chillsins: *Goes right back to trying to suck his own brains up through the improvised straw somehow.* Tarantulas: *....tara's going to stop his crocheting and snag that straw from windchill with a shot silk thread* Chillsins: *Ignore the fact that the 'straw' is obviously a recycled aluminum pipe.* Chillsins: *Looks shocked for all of a second.* Chillsins: *It passes.* Airachnid: [is secretly thankful] Chillsins: *Now he just looks offended.* Tarantulas: *good* Chillsins: Hey! Chaoit: -snorts- Prowl: Quite a hell of a surprise party. Chaoit: caught Chillsins: *Still has no idea what Tarantulas: @ Chill - Yyyyes? Chillsins: is going on or why the music got dramatic.* Tailblinking: Thats... really a good film. Prowl: At least he handled his defeat with grace. Chillsins: @Tarantulass: That's mine! Tarantulas: (( LASS. good smoketopus: Messy, Messy- actually, Spidey, too- you ever do crochet? I bet you'd be pretty good at it! Chillsins: (( Remove the L maybe )) Tailblinking: //Very satisfied. Tarantulas: Not anymore. *starts nomming on it* NoodlesAtNight: *Small leg stretch* Tailblinking: ... Chillsins: (( I'll google the film later. )) Prowl: This Hitchcock human makes fine movies. Airachnid: ...on occasion, but I prefer weaving. Chillsins: Nope, it's still mine. Tailblinking: //Did he just eat the crocheted protoform Chillsins: You're just a thief. Prowl: *............... watches leg* Tarantulas: (( lmao no, he's eating windchill's metal straw smoketopus: Weaving? that's where you're making the textiles, right? That's pretty neat, actually- you do that with webbing or? chronosmith: ((painting: Tarantulas Devouring His Son)) Tailblinking: //lost track of shenanigans as thigns got intense Airachnid: Yes I do. NoodlesAtNight: [[They do. He will research other ones.]] smoketopus: Soundsoundssounds heyheyhey can I recommend a song later? NoodlesAtNight: *Notices this watching. ... Stretch one a little closer in Prowl's direction.* NoodlesAtNight: [[You may.]] smoketopus: Oooh- you got any tips? If you taught me, I could maybe make some from you! Not out of your webbing, but Prowl: *mouth twitch* Tarantulas: @Smoke - Yes, I was just crocheting, and that's one among other things. Chillsins: *Looks extra offended.* Airachnid: Yes I have some tips. First of all, do not be bad at it. If you're bad at it, fix that. Chillsins: *Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a good straw?* smoketopus: https://youtu.be/mw2fh8qfDiA here you go, Soundwave! Tarantulas: *chomp chomp. it's gone now windchill, and tara's visor is quirked in a smirk* chronosmith: Pipes: *watches this Straw Altercation curiously* NoodlesAtNight: *Resettles* @Prowl: (txt): Caught. NoodlesAtNight: *Inspects this musical selection while others fight over a straw... he doesn't understand other bots sometimes* Tarantulas: *pipes probably saw dat monster mouth* chronosmith: Pipes: *he's seen much worse; he's friends with all kinds of alins* Prowl: @Soundwave «I'm a lot less subtle without my peripheral vision.» smoketopus: SOUNDS WOW smoketopus: RUDE NoodlesAtNight: [[You test his patience.]] Chillsins: Give me back my straw. Wheeljack: Smokey Chillsins: *Cough it up you fiend.* smoketopus: It wasn't even anything bad! I thought you'd find it neat. smoketopus: Wheels Tarantulas: No, it's quite gone now. Probably dissolving as we speak. Tarantulas: That's what you get for being so awfully rude Wheeljack: Wanna smoke? Tailblinking: So you're really a tarantula and not a spider, huh Chillsins: Nope, that's not how it works. Chillsins: You owe me a straw. smoketopus: Hey, yeah, that sounds nice, Wheels chronosmith: Pipes: I'd suggest a song but, ha, it's kind of long and I'm guessing the rest of the room might not want to listen to a five-minute guitar solo... Tarantulas: Oh? What song? NoodlesAtNight: [[...What song.]] Chillsins: *Stands up* chronosmith: Pipes: Prowl should be able to guess what I'm talking about. Wheeljack: It's mellow, you can take more hits Prowl: I am and I approve. NoodlesAtNight: *Looks. What song?* Prowl: It's an excellent five-minute guitar solo. chronosmith: Freebird! chronosmith: ^..Pipes Chillsins: *Creeps around.* chronosmith: ((whirl is not mumbling freebird in his sleep)) Chillsins: (( Are you sure. )) Tarantulas: *keen visor on windchill, what u doin* Chillsins: *Looming behind u.* Chillsins: *That's what he's doing.* Prowl: *yessss* chronosmith: ((maybe... who knows. if he is mumbling he's surely whispering)) Tarantulas: *gonna have to get past the spider legs that'll push you back* chronosmith: Pipes: *places a hand over his spark* A classic. Chillsins: *He's bigger than u, not happening.* Tarantulas: *do your worst* smoketopus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct6BUPvE2sM What about this, sounds?

Tarantulas: *fine by tarantulas so long as you* Tarantulas: *'re not making annoying sounds* Wheeljack: Smokes, this is the kinda song you frag to smoketopus: what chronosmith: Whirl: Oh, hey, it's my footrest. Up and running around. Could've used you tonight, mech. smoketopus: no NoodlesAtNight: *Is not looking at Wheeljack. Wheeljack cannot ruin this good experience for him. Absolutely not* smoketopus: I think all my partners learned to ban me from music Wheeljack: Hey Soundwave Wheeljack: Soundwave Prowl: *leeeans a little more heavily on Soundwave* Wheeljack: HEY MOTHER BITCH Chillsins: *Slurps without a straw.* chronosmith: Pipes: Wheeljack! We're trying to listen. Chillsins: Too bad, Whirl. Chillsins: I thought I was 'replaceable' anyway. Wheeljack: Tell mom bitch to stop ignoring me Tarantulas: *...actually, hah. tara's attention goes back across the room to the flirts, then gets interrupted by chill, and he snaps. up and out the door he goes without a word* Wheeljack: Frag that was good chronosmith: Pipes: Well I can't imagine you'd be surprised that someone would ignore you when you refer to them as "bitch mom." Airachnid: Well then. NoodlesAtNight: *Listen close, Prowl. That faint hum is back. He'll even ping Pipes a thank you.* chronosmith: Pipes: Another good song--if you like rock instrumentals--is Frankenstein, by the Edgar Winters group, but that one is VERY long. NoodlesAtNight: *But be vaguely concerned about Tarantulas'. departure....* Chillsins: *That's what you get for stealing instead of asking him to stop like any decent person.* Wheeljack: Pipes, you don't know scrap Prowl: *... slow, heavy sigh out of all his vents at the same time. It's a mildly overheated sigh* chronosmith: Pipes: *pings him right back; he is only doing what's decent by you, mech* NoodlesAtNight: [[As an authority on the subject, he can say that Pipes is right.]] Prowl: *maybe he should. turn a couple more cooling fans on.* Wheeljack: No! smoketopus: Hey hey soundsoundsounds Soundwave what about this song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAt9qCEeBxo Chillsins: (( Ew, an anime. )) Airachnid: No. Wheeljack: You did this to me, I can call you whatever I want Chaoit: ... chronosmith: Whirl: You absolutely are, of course. Chaoit: ? Chillsins: *Returns to sitting on the floor. The sit of victory.* NoodlesAtNight: [[And he does not have to listen.]] NoodlesAtNight: *So he doesn't. The sound of cooling fans are much, much nicer.* Wheeljack: Glitch Chillsins: (( That feel when you are certain another pron blog followed you but it's just a really odd personal. )) chronosmith: ((PFFT)) Tarantulas: (( lmao :') Chillsins: (( Snif, you're making me PARaNOID )) Chillsins: (( I BLAME U )) chronosmith: (( o) )) chronosmith: ((JUST PICTURE IT. IN YOUR HEAD. HORRIFYING)) chronosmith: ((SNIP SNIP)) Chillsins: (( DESIST )) NoodlesAtNight: *Previews Smokescreen's suggestion... casually makes a note not to pay attention to other ones* smoketopus: /He's just gonna go over to sit near Wheeljack/ Hey, about that smoke... Chaoit: Are you taking suggestions? smoketopus: Soundssssss what do you think? Is THAT on the right track? Wheeljack: Huh Chillsins: *Makes gross sucking sounds, thanks to the almighty fish lips.* NoodlesAtNight: [[Potentially. Do you have one?]] Wheeljack: Oh yeah, go for it *passes cyg* Chaoit:  Q factory - final reckoning extended Chaoit: That one? Prowl: Not until this one's over. chronosmith: Whirl: Euugh. You live to make me suffer. *hauls himself up and rubs the side of his helm* Seeya later, Airachnid. *bobs his helm to her* Prowl: We're not switching off Simple Man. smoketopus: /He's going to give it a whirl! It seems like something fun here/ Tarantulas: *nevermind tarantulas, he's wandered back down the hall from wherever he went, he's just going to sit and eavesdrop outside the door without looking in* Chaoit: Afterwards chronosmith: Whirl: *and trots over to conk Windchill affetctionately on the chest* And you too, loser. Chillsins: Owie! Chaoit: This band is good Prowl: *what's going over— oh for primussake* This is a hospital! You can't smoke in here! Chillsins: *Falls over DEAD* NoodlesAtNight: *Sits up a bit. Is annoyed that he has to sit up.* Prowl: Put that out or take it outdoors! chronosmith: Whirl: At last. The evil is defeated. Chillsins: *Conked out.* NoodlesAtNight: [[Put. It. Out.]] smoketopus: ... /Putting it in his mouth?/ Chillsins: *Coughs* chronosmith: ((can i shoot it out of his mouth)) Chaoit: ...ew Wheeljack: Hahahaha chronosmith: ((like a wild west movie)) NoodlesAtNight: ((if you don't soundwave will slap it away)) Prowl: ((... yes.)) Chillsins: He's beating me up... chronosmith: ((verdict, smokey?)) Wheeljack: *laughing* Chaoit: Smokescreen Chillsins: *Makes gross sobbing sounds from the floor, possibly agitated by smoke.* Chaoit: Seriously? chronosmith: *places one foot on Windchill triumphantly* Airachnid: Are you surprised? He's an idiot. Chillsins: *Twitches.* chronosmith: ...^ Whirl, not Pipes Chillsins: *Pipes can do it too he doesn't care.* Chillsins: *Just for the record.* Tarantulas: (( not the mech pipes wants to step on chronosmith: *Pipes is comfy where he is, but in the future.... WHO KNOWS. OH GOD MAU NO* Chillsins: *Whines like something not quite as dead as it pretends to be.* Chillsins: Somebody help. Chillsins: Call the police. Chillsins: There's been A MURDER. chronosmith: Whirl: The police won't help you. He's too busy listening to Lynryd Skynyrd. NoodlesAtNight: [[He sees no dead frames.]] Chillsins: I'm dead on the inside, okay? Where it counts. Chillsins: *Huffs.* Airachnid: two Smokescreens)) Chillsins: (( It's a miracle. )) chronosmith: ((THEY'RE MULTIPLYING)) smoketopus: ((asdfgh my wifi NoodlesAtNight: [[If that counted, the morgues would have been filled long ago.]] smoketopus: /Putting it in his mouth as in just sticking the whole cyg in there. That should put it out right/ Prowl: *the police is going to enjoy Simple Man and no footrest murders are going to stop him* Wheeljack: Smokes wtf Chillsins: It totally counts. Chillsins: Because...I said so. Wheeljack: Just give it back to me, ya don't have to eat it smoketopus: /Fiiine, spitting it out and giving it to Wheeljack/ Sorry about that. Chillsins: *Glares balefully at Whirl past his own boobs. You murderer.* Wheeljack: Ugh chronosmith: Whirl: Anyway, I'll leave them to pick up my messes for me. As usual. *steps over Windchill, by which I mean he totally steps on him to walk over him* NoodlesAtNight: *Supposes that counts as obeying the demand to put it out* chronosmith: Whirl: Catch ya later. Chillsins: *HONKS* NoodlesAtNight: [[Farewell, Whirl.]] smoketopus: ... Seriously, I can make it up to you if you want. chronosmith: (jskd I LAUGHED)) Wheeljack: *tries to clean it off* Prowl: *winces at the honk* Chillsins: *Lifts an arm to wave goodbye.* Chillsins: Bye, you murderer. Sleep soundly. smoketopus: Bye mech! chronosmith: *also winces, a little, but this is followed by a short, barking laugh* NoodlesAtNight: *Hums a little louder to soothe the honk away. He's very tempted to shoo them all out right now.* chronosmith: Whirl: I intend to. *bobs his head at Soundwave and trots off* NoodlesAtNight: [[A good selection, Blaster. Thank you.]] chronosmith: *and gives the room one last wave* Chillsins: *Lies there, dead.* Chillsins: *OR IS HE?* chronosmith: Pipes: It's very interesting! Chillsins: Tunes like these demand...more bicycling. smoketopus: I didn't even know cygs were a deal in a hospital, though. Weird! Chaoit: Welcome Tarantulas: *hopefully the attention deflectors are working right now. pls let no one see him sittin there sulking when they leave* Chillsins: *Lift up him legg and booty and start cycling through the air.* Airachnid: It's a hospital, a place where mecha with issues come to heal, not get a face full of smoke. Prowl: *that's because you're a COMPLETE MORON no no no prowl no don't say anything don't draw any more attention to yourself...* Airachnid: Which can cause problems with mecha if they have issues with their vents. Chillsins: *Unstoppable.* Airachnid: You dense idiot. Chaoit: .... smoketopus: I wasn't smoking in anyone's face- but yeah I guess I'm an idiot or whatever. Thank you so much. Chillsins: Everyone here is so mean. chronosmith: Pipes: *watches Windchill, amused* Getting some Jazzercise in? Airachnid: No problem. Airachnid: : 3c Chillsins: *Huffs and puffs and pedals faster.* Chillsins: I don't know what you mean. Chillsins: *He does.* Chillsins: I have to meet my daily annoyance quota. chronosmith: Pipes: *he's gonna take you at face value* You've never seen Jazzercise? You should. I bet you'd get a kick out of it. Tarantulas: (( sdgfsdg im trying to think of a song for tara to ping soundwave but all i can think of is "jesse's girl" NoodlesAtNight: ((DO IT)) chronosmith: ((do another cik springfield song)) Prowl: ((LMAO)) Airachnid: [also, she didn't go through vorns of medical school for fun] Chaoit: ((do it chronosmith: ((HUMAN TOUCH)) Chillsins: Not really. NoodlesAtNight: *Stop saying Jazz's name in things. You're making his audials itch.* Chillsins: I've heard of it but always been too scared to investigate further. Chillsins: It sounds like an abomination. smoketopus: Yeah, Spidey. You really help SO much. I don't know what I'd do without you. ... Wheeljack, you got anything else that works like cygs that don't make smoke or anything? chronosmith: Pipes: I can send you some files, if you want. I've got tapes. NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt) Soundwave, busy thinking. Multiple compliments, personal statements received. Circumstances: irrelevant; effects: static. Return deserved. Chillsins: *Appears to think about this.* Chillsins: Okay. Prowl: @Soundwave «... Compliments?» *okay, he was expecting Soundwave to pay him back for blackmailable materials, but—compliments?* chronosmith: Pipes: Or, I could swing by again. You showed me a movie last time, I can return the favor. *pauses* ...d'you think any of your friends would want to check it out? Chillsins: *He can just google it, but if Pipes is offering misery on a platter, he'll take it.* NoodlesAtNight: *No, no. That is, yes, but... this first. He's in the mood to do it.* chronosmith: *o ye of little faith. Pipes is going to get you the Greatest Jazzercise* Chillsins: My cave troll friends? Chillsins: *He's scared already.* NoodlesAtNight: ((beware incoming wall)) chronosmith: Yeah! Chillsins: *Listen, he couldn't handle Sesame Street because the puppets were too scary.* NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt) Dorsal armor protects well. Admired: perseverance despite unreasonable opposition, calculation, logic, foresight, protectiveness. Legs: sturdy, strong; comfortable wrap predicted. Musical tastes known, liked. Nose, chin block, helm construction enhance faceplate angles. Humor: sharp, enjoyable. Many pleasing frame corners, ridges, crevices, grips. Suspected transfer, processing speeds appeal. Knowledge demonstration, lectures: entertaining. Solid hand shape, satisfying fit. NoodlesAtNight: *Soundwave is quietly thankful Prowl’s never thought to sharpen the ends. He already wants them everywhere as it is. Claws would be the end of him.* NoodlesAtNight: Current return: complete.

Chillsins: Maybe one. Prowl: *freezes in surprise* Prowl: *vague undignified noise* NoodlesAtNight: *Little trembles.* Chillsins: (( All I could think of was G1 Prowl's Dull Surprise I'm sorry. )) chronosmith: No pressure, of course, but hey, the more the merrier. Prowl: ((that's probably what prowl's Surprised Face looks like)) Prowl: *give him a minute, he's got to figure out how vocabulary works again* Chillsins: *Slowly cycles to a stop.* Chillsins: I can ask. smoketopus: Actually, Wheeljack- you still up for smoking maybe outside? Would you be up for that at all or nah? Wheeljack: Sure Wheeljack: Not toasted enough chronosmith: *streetches* All right... for now, I'm heading out. Lemme know, Windchill, and take care of yourself! Prowl: *ping. gratitude tag.* chronosmith: See you guys later. And, glad you're feeling better, Prowl. NoodlesAtNight: [[Goodbye, Pipes. Be well.]] smoketopus: Toasted? I'd hope not... But I definitely want to be able to relax some. Slag hasn't been fun. Airachnid: I better be leaving as well. I have work to do. Chillsins: *Nods, and waves bye bye.* NoodlesAtNight: *Nods to Airachnid* Prowl: *he heard his name. it takes him a few seconds to translate the message. jerky nod. he's a tad distracted.* smoketopus: Have fun Spiderscream chronosmith: You too, Soundwave! Say hi to Rumble for me! NoodlesAtNight: [[He will.]] chronosmith: And tell Frenzy I said: Love safari. NoodlesAtNight: [[...Very well.]] Airachnid: [nods back before slipping out, ignoring Smokescreen] NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Tag acknowledged. NoodlesAtNight: *p l e a s e d* chronosmith: *eeeexcellent. And with that, he scuttles out* Prowl: *quietly snakes a hand around Soundwave's arm* Prowl: CardinalKO: *rolls in prone position on leg and back wheels* NoodlesAtNight: *What I just wrote, but in capital letters this time.* Prowl: ((... i have no idea who the new Guest is)) NoodlesAtNight: [[...You are late, Knock Out.]] smoketopus: Knocktopus! smoketopus: You missed the whole movie! CardinalKO: Oh, blast. Chillsins: *Lays on the floor, collecting germs.* CardinalKO: *yes lets be germ buddies* smoketopus: You didn't miss me, though, for all that's worth. Chillsins: *Don't worry, it happened to him too, near abouts.* CardinalKO: Well, it's worth more than nothing, at least. smoketopus: I'm glad you think that! CardinalKO: It's my arbitrary birthday. Or at least, it was last week but I forgot until today. smoketopus: !!! BIRTHDAY! smoketopus: I GOTTA MAKE YOU A BIRTHDAY CAKE AND CARD AND AND- You wanna come over for a night sometime? Chillsins: *Huffs and grunts, it 's nearing time for him to head home. BUT NOT JUST YET.* CardinalKO: Ooo, that sounds delightful! CardinalKO: *will slowly rolls over to germbuddy* Chillsins: *He's basically just furniture so far as most are concerned anyway, maybe they'll forget he's there.* Chillsins: *Who knows what awful things he will see from this vantage point.* smoketopus: Really? Haha- I look forward to making you that cake! CardinalKO: I'd ask how the weather is down here, but I'm here too. Chillsins: *It's the perfect plan.* CardinalKO: I'm looking forward to it too, and thank you Trogdor. CardinalKO: I still don't entirely understand why I get loot for existing, but I welcome it wholeheartedly. smoketopus: Because we're celebrating your existence 'cause we love you! Chillsins: *Peers at the late arrival from the corner of his optics.* CardinalKO: *friendly germ bump* Chillsins: *OINKS* CardinalKO: !!!! CardinalKO: Trogdor, have I ever told you that you remind me of the Steven Universe human? CardinalKO: *tentative second germ bump* smoketopus: ... Steven? Really? Chillsins: *Grunts like a piggy.* Prowl: *hmm. another good guitar solo* Chillsins: *He's not moving, this is HIS germ farm. You can have it over his cold, dead body.* Chillsins: *Never mind that he's been claiming to be dead for the past half hour at least.* NoodlesAtNight: *Well, if there's just a dead guy and two others here, that's the three rule. So that loop through the elbow gets an overlap by way of feeler.* smoketopus: I'm gonna go 'cause I feel like scrap and I've got things to do but- Knocktopus, sit up so I can kiss your tires. NoodlesAtNight: [[You three will have to vacate shortly. He will need time to rearrange these chairs.]] smoketopus: You need any help, Soundwave? Chillsins: *Pretends to be dead.* Chillsins: Okay. NoodlesAtNight: [[No. He fixes more than this on weekends.]] Chaoit: -looks like his break's over then- Prowl: *his grip tightens slightly when smokescreen suggests staying longer.* NoodlesAtNight: *Don't worry. He's got it.* Wheeljack: What Chaoit: -stretches- smoketopus: Fair enough! I feel kinda bad for causing trouble, though. Any way I can help? NoodlesAtNight: [[Blaster... consider finding your way to his planet next time you need a vacation. He would be interested in hearing what else you recommend musically.]] Chaoit: Heh. NoodlesAtNight: [[No. No help.]] Chillsins: *Rolls onto his front. Step one complete.* CardinalKO: Yes, you do remind me of Steven. Chaoit: Next time I get a break that last longer than a few hours, I'll come by smoketopus: Oh. Okay... You want some energon goodies? I've got some, I think. CardinalKO: *sits up for tire kisses* smoketopus: /Going to give Knock Out's tires some kisses! For good luck!/ NoodlesAtNight: [[No, Smokescreen. He does not want anything from you. If you wish to make up for causing trouble, excuse yourself quietly and cause less in the future.]] NoodlesAtNight: *Nods to Blaster. Good.* Chillsins: *Makes some extra gross crying sounds since the floor is there to muffle it for effect.* CardinalKO: *will give him a cheek kiss* smoketopus: Will do- I didn't cause too much trouble today, did I? Wheeljack: Kid NoodlesAtNight: *Glances down at Windchill* Chillsins: *Lies there like a toddler exhausted after a tantrum.* NoodlesAtNight: [[Someone fetch a mortician. This dead frame is beyond even his own strength to lift.]] CardinalKO: Well, I'll take my leave. smoketopus: Nightnight, Knocktopus! Chillsins: *He will not be moved by pleas or threats.* CardinalKO: One of these days I'll make it in time for the movie. Chaoit: -and up he gets, going home now- Prowl: *dryly* At least we're already in a hospital. CardinalKO: *concerned stare at pig-bot* NoodlesAtNight: *Amused bob* Chaoit: -and nearly trips at the joke- NoodlesAtNight: [[They may wish to do an autopsy. He is not from here, after all. Much to learn.]] Chillsins: *Sits up suddenly, looking much refreshed despite having his dinner cut short by a straw thief.* CardinalKO: That means the "no weapons" rule doesn't apply right? *smiles* NoodlesAtNight: [[Look at that, good doctor. A miracle. Fine work.]] smoketopus: 😮 The dead rising? Isn't that kinda a bad sign, though? CardinalKO: Amazing! Chillsins: If you do an autopsy you might even figure out how to make new Cybertronians. NoodlesAtNight: [[Yes. You should be the first to flee.]] Chillsins: Since that's such a big deal with you lot. Chillsins: Unfortunately for you, I am no longer completely dead. CardinalKO: *chuckles* Good night, good night. Chillsins: Only mostly dead. smoketopus: ... Wouldn't you be? I'm not exactly afraid of dark energon or whatever. NoodlesAtNight: *Primus give him patience beyond his usual reserves. He's about to bridge Smokescreen out himself.* Prowl: *please.* Chaoit: Heeey, Smokescreen NoodlesAtNight: [[Then you are an even bigger idiot than most people suspect. Now. You have a departure to make.]] Chaoit: I think it's time we left Chaoit: Soundwave does have to clean up Chillsins: *Makes it to his feet.* Chaoit: And would probably do a better job if we weren't in the way NoodlesAtNight: *Silently adds a few points to Blaster's column in his mind* NoodlesAtNight: *Feels dirty doing that, but it is what it is* smoketopus: I'm not an idiot- ugh. Whatever- I've got other things to do. Have a good night, Soundwave. Chillsins: *Flees at an ambling pace before he can be autopsied and his robo-uterus reverse engineered to build armies of babies or whatever.* NoodlesAtNight: *A good idea, given the identity of his other ally.* Chillsins: *A good idea only means he walks slower. He is all about BAD ideas.* NoodlesAtNight: *A bad idea would be to walk so slowly he delivers a cattle prod shock to speed it up* Chillsins: *He's used to people electrocuting his butt at this point, thanks. Happens all the time. He screams.* Chaoit: -annnd he's off to finish work in his own timeline- G'night! Chillsins: *They laugh. Apparently causing him harm is funny no matter where he goes.* NoodlesAtNight: ((I didn't actually shock him 😨 )) Chaoit: ((this was fun. Thanks! Annnnd g'night NoodlesAtNight: ((night!)) Chillsins: (( I know I'm just narrating. IT DOES... HAPPEN QUITE A LOT. )) Chillsins: (( So 'he screams' means 'when that happens, he screams' )) NoodlesAtNight: ((oh!)) Wheeljack: That song was sexy too Chillsins: Bye, suckerrrrrrrs. NoodlesAtNight: [[Goodbye.]] Chillsins: *He vanishes into the night.* NoodlesAtNight: [[And you? Have you no beehive to tend?]] Wheeljack: GHahahahaha Wheeljack: You know I do NoodlesAtNight: [[Then go do so.]] Wheeljack: Make me Prowl: Shall you or shall I? NoodlesAtNight: *Looks to Prowl and motions with one hand, curious.* Prowl: *quietly opens a bridge under his feet* Wheeljack: *oop* NoodlesAtNight: ((omfg)) Prowl: *Prowl actually has no idea where Wheeljack lives. He just dropped him on the polar opposite side of Cybertron.* NoodlesAtNight: *Stares where WJ was for a moment. Stares for another moment. Then twists and stares at Prowl. And THEN, finally, gives his shoulder such a headbump.* Prowl: *shoulders tremble slightly. returns the bump.* NoodlesAtNight: (txt): Deep, deep gratitude. Prowl: I have to fight the urge to do that every time he opens his mouth. NoodlesAtNight: (txt): Urge fought every -vent-. Prowl: *snorts* NoodlesAtNight: *curious tilt* (txt): Fan activation noticed. Band: Lynyrd Skynyrd, pleasing? Prowl: ... Thhhe guitar solo and the company. NoodlesAtNight: *Smaller bump. He heard that second part.* (txt): Interested continuation: Why solo? Prowl: ... I like it. Prowl: ...... Might have interfaced to it once. Prowl: Liked it before then. Prowl: ... Wouldn't mind a repeat. NoodlesAtNight: (txt): Repeat play, repeat interface accompaniment? Unclear. Prowl: Well. Both, but I meant the latter. NoodlesAtNight: (txt): Accepted. Will play now. If interface allowed in future, will utilize then. Prowl: ... How good are you at predicting how soon you'll overload? NoodlesAtNight: *What an odd question. Prowl has his attention. He taps the side of his helm with his free arm. Mm, there's the solo again.* NoodlesAtNight: (txt): Own mind, frame known well. Accurate timing. Prowl: Mm. This is a good song to use to try to synchronize overloads. There's sort of a, er—climax to the song, near the end. NoodlesAtNight: (txt): Challenge proposed? {humor} Prowl: Well, maybe not on our first try, but. *sheurmiours* NoodlesAtNight: *Small lighting boost. "First try" implies multiple tries. His brain's just got all kinds of places.* NoodlesAtNight: gone* Prowl: *well they're not going to interface ONCE, are they? given, this is all still hypothetical, but. Prowl should hope they're compatible enough for more than just one interface session.* NoodlesAtNight: *He hopes so. He'd rather this didn't turn out to be something along the lines of "and now I've done this and I'm no longer interested".* NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Accepted. Other games also liked, would play. NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt) Perhaps after Prowl frame learned. Study material appreciated if delivered. Until then, rest needed? Prowl: *sigh* Unfortunately, yes. NoodlesAtNight: *Nods. Uses arm grip to pull Prowl into getting a very, very light nuzzle to the chin.* NoodlesAtNight: (txt): Other meetings enjoyed later. Will escort again. Come. Prowl: *very, very lightly nuzzles back* Prowl: Very well. *reluctantly draws back and stands* NoodlesAtNight: *Joins, just as reluctantly. Some day...* NoodlesAtNight: *And he'll do just that once Prowl gets hopping* Prowl: *back to the hospital room*

10 Habits That Will Dramatically Improve Your Life http://ift.tt/2jGcmwg

In Hans Christian Andersen’s fable The Red Shoes, a young girl longs for a pair of pretty red shoes. She ultimately tricks the blind woman who cares for her into buying her a pair. Her love for the red shoes causes her to give them priority over the more important things in her life, and, as often happens in fables, karma is not on her side. The shoes become firmly stuck to her feet and force her to dance non-stop, to the point where she almost dies from exhaustion and starvation.

Related: 9 Bad Habits You Must Break To Be More Productive

We can scoff at the little girl’s foolishness, but, in real life, we often do the same thing -- we chase after the things that we think will make us happy and don’t realize that we’re heading down a dangerous path.

One study found that the people who experience the greatest job satisfaction aren’t the ones in the big, fancy offices; they’re the ones who approach their work as a calling, even when that work involves menial labor.

Another study found that simply seeing fast-food logos makes people impatient. It’s not that there’s some intrinsic characteristic of fast food that makes people impatient; it’s the habits we’ve come to associate with fast food, such as always being on the run, eating on the go and never slowing down enough to enjoy a healthy meal, that bring out our impatience.

We have to be very careful in choosing our pursuits, because our habits make us. Cultivating the habits that follow will send you in the right direction. They’ll help you to lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life, whereby you cultivate the best within yourself.

1. Stay away from people who erode your quality of life. 

If merely seeing a logo for a fast-food company can make you feel impatient, just think how much more impact a toxic person can have on your life. They might be unhappy about your decision to stay away from them, and they might tell you very loudly just how unhappy they are, but isn’t avoiding them worth the cumulative effects of years of their negative influence? There are always going to be toxic people who have a way of getting under your skin and staying there. Each time you find yourself thinking about a coworker or person who makes your blood boil, practice being grateful for someone else in your life instead. There are plenty of people out there who deserve your attention, and the last thing you want to do is think about the people who don’t matter.

2. No more phone, tablet or computer in bed. 

This is a big one, which most people don’t even realize harms their sleep and productivity. Short-wavelength blue light plays an important role in determining your mood, energy level and sleep quality. In the morning, sunlight contains high concentrations of this blue light. When your eyes are exposed to it directly, it halts production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin and makes you feel alert. In the afternoon, the sun’s rays lose their blue light, which allows your body to produce melatonin and this starts making you sleepy. By the evening, your brain doesn’t expect any blue light exposure and is very sensitive to it. Most of our favorite evening devices -- laptops, tablets and mobile phones -- emit short-wavelength blue light brightly and right in your face. This exposure impairs melatonin production and interferes with your ability to fall asleep, as well as with the quality of your sleep once you do nod off. As we’ve all experienced, poor nights’ sleep has disastrous effects. The best thing you can do is to avoid these devices after dinner (television is OK for most people, as long as they sit far enough away from the set).

3. Appreciate the here and now. 

Gratitude is fundamental to peace and happiness -- not wealth, glamour, adventure or fast cars, but simple appreciation for what you have. Just because you can’t afford champagne and caviar doesn’t mean that you never enjoy a meal. Hot dogs and beer on the back deck with your friends taste just as good. So, don’t fool yourself into thinking that you need something that you don’t currently have in order to be happy, because the truth is that if you can’t appreciate what you have now, you won’t be able to appreciate the “good life” if you ever get it.

4. Realize that things aren’t always as you perceive them to be. 

This goes along with appreciating the here and now. That person you envy because they seem to have the perfect life might be dealing with all kinds of problems behind closed doors. That “perfection” could be a total mirage. Your employer’s decision to move the office might seem like a huge hassle when you first hear about it, but it could end up being one of the best things that ever happens to you. You’re not omniscient and you’re not a fortune-teller, so be open to the possibility that life might have some surprises in store, because what you see is not always what you get.

5. Get started, even though you might fail. 

Most writers spend countless hours brainstorming their characters and plots, and they even write page after page that they know they’ll never include in the books. They do this because they know that ideas need time to develop. We tend to freeze up when it’s time to get started because we know that our ideas aren’t perfect and that what we produce might not be any good. But how can you ever produce something great if you don’t get started and give your ideas time to evolve? Author Jodi Picoult summarized the importance of avoiding perfectionism perfectly: “You can edit a bad page, but you can’t edit a blank page.”

6. Get organized. 

People joke about new ideas being in short supply, but I think that the one resource that’s really scarce is spare time. Do you know anybody who has some? Yet we waste so much of it by not being organized. We touch things two or three times before we do something with them (like tossing the mail down on the counter then moving it to the table so we can cook dinner) and once we’ve put them away, we spend even more time looking for them. Have a place for all of those little things you need to take care of when you get a minute, whether it’s your child’s permission slip for a field trip or an overdue bill, and then get to them in a timely manner; otherwise you’ll be searching through a huge stack of stuff for the one thing you need.

7. Start a collection of the things that truly resonate with you. 

Have you ever come across a quote or a meme that so perfectly summed up your feelings that you wanted to keep it forever? You know that it’s in one of those coats you wore five winters ago, and you really hope it’s not the one you gave to Goodwill. When you come across something that resonates with you -- whether it’s something that expresses who you are or who you want to be -- have a central place to keep those gems. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a spiral notebook, a leather binder or a folder on Evernote, have a place to collect the things that matter so that you can revisit them regularly.

8. Do something that reminds you who you are. 

We all joke about having “me” time, but what is that, really? It’s making time for those activities that we feel most authentically ourselves doing, when all the masks are off and we can just��be. Whether it’s going for a run or dancing around with your 80s favorites blaring at top volume, make time for those moments. They’re incredibly rejuvenating.

9. Say no. 

Research conducted at the University of California in San Francisco shows that the more difficulty that you have saying no, the more likely you are to experience stress, burnout and even depression, all of which erode self-control. Saying no is indeed a major self-control challenge for many people. “No” is a powerful word that you should not be afraid to wield. When it’s time to say no, emotionally intelligent people avoid phrases like “I don’t think I can” or “I’m not certain.” Saying no to a new commitment honors your existing commitments and gives you the opportunity to successfully fulfill them. Just remind yourself that saying no is an act of self-control now that will increase your future self-control by preventing the negative effects of over commitment.

10. Stick to realistic goals. 

How many people start January by proclaiming, “I’m going to lose 30 pounds by March!”? Big, scary, crazy goals can be incredibly inspiring -- until you fall short, and then, instead of inspiration, you’re left with disappointment and guilt. I’m certainly not suggesting that you stop setting goals that push and challenge you, just that you try to stick within the bounds of reality.

Bringing It All Together

Your character is determined by your attitude and how you spend your time, and so is happiness. Stop chasing the things that you think will make you happy, and start realizing that your peace and happiness are entirely up to you.
