Okay so that ending where Megatron's spark is potentially sealed in the whiteout chamber forever. I understand he'd miss Rodimus but maybe. MAYBE for a lil while the lack of shenanigans was bliss

Feb 20 Lost Light Stream @ Soundwave’s Bar - Transformers Prime 63-65
The series is over. Prowl feels let down that in this universe Bumblebee killed Megatron, but in Prowl’s universe Bumblebee got them stuck with Autobot Megatron.
There were three people whose names remained “Guest” all night - Shockwave & Co., Wheeljack, and Bruin. I had to manually change all of those “Guest”s to their actual names. I was going fast so I probably got a few wrong. If Wheeljack suddenly sounds like Predaking at any point, that’s why.
opatoes: SOUNDS you've got those videos! NoodlesAtNight: [[So many of them.]] He says, while fiddling with something behind the bar for a moment. opatoes: ((dangit rabbit still has that nickname problem)) NoodlesAtNight: ((Yeah I'm sorry)) queenjazzy: that is weird)) opatoes: ((All good!)) opatoes: BEEPBEE radioactivibee: (( this mmd is amazing i'm in love radioactivibee: Hey Smokey NoodlesAtNight: ((tonight is TFA MMD night 😄 )) radioactivibee: (( this is lovely omg )) NoodlesAtNight: [[Seat yourselves wherever you wish. Move furniture if need be - as long as it actually moves.]] opatoes: Can I sit on you NoodlesAtNight: *Placing snacks on the bar* radioactivibee: (( ...i just remember that one with TFA Bee and um-OH! Love & Joy! )) radioactivibee: Yes! Because I can't break anymore! queenjazzy: [she goes off to get some snacks before sitting in her normal spot, waiting for Whirl] NoodlesAtNight: ((i stg if that's you wj)) agooddistraction: 😎 opatoes: /He's gonna try to dance to this! radioactivibee: [is never going to take a TFA Megatron seriously ever again] radioactivibee: ...That Optimus's waist is thinner than Arcee's opatoes: /Never took him seriously in the first place but still won't/ radioactivibee: (( !!!! JET TWINS!!!!! )) NoodlesAtNight: *Soundwave nods to Airachnid and the other newcomers. Welcome, welcome. They'll start in roughly ten-twelve kliks.* Txen: ((dinner successfully retrieved B^) )) Bruin: *small stampede because everyone wanted to come see the finale, they'll just find a booth up front* opatoes: sounds sounds sounds get a video with you in it chronosmith: It's that time again. Time to regret that I have an eye left. NoodlesAtNight: [[He already has several with him in them. And his alternates. He will play one before and one after.]] NoodlesAtNight: *Laserbeak floats over to the stampede and makes herself comfortable, like you do.* NoodlesAtNight: [[And believe him - he's regretting this one as much as you, Whirl.]] Jazz. Ugh. radioactivibee: Wow. Jazz. opatoes: /If any of the predacons are here, he's going to grab some snacks and take a seat near them!/ chronosmith: At least you let yourself suffer WITH us. *stakes out a table and gets comfy* NoodlesAtNight: [[It is his duty as a host.]] Bruin: Hello Lazerbeak! * Spotter will scoot over slightly, he will share the head perch for now* NoodlesAtNight: *GASP a shared perch... she's so taking that* radioactivibee: [gonna grab a snack and huddle up on the floor with a blanket] NoodlesAtNight: *Soundwave pings Shockwave. This one may or may not be for him.* queenjazzy: [this music why] Txen: *Darksteel and Skylynx are comfily flopped in dragon mode on the dance floor. they welcome people willing to pay a Snack Tax* Txen: *meanwhile, Shockwave is mildly conflicted* chronosmith: The best I can say is that this dance isn't incredibly sexual to watch. Thank GOD. chronosmith: And, I like his color. He's got good taste. opatoes: /Smokescreen's happy to offer snacks to Darksteel and Skylynx, and is going to flop down close to them./ NoodlesAtNight: [[We will start after this.]] Txen: *is mostly indifferent to these silly videos regardless of 'who' is featured in them. ...mostly* opatoes: START THE DOWNLOAD SOUNDS chronosmith: So far these aren't... nearly as painful as I had expected. I can only attribute this to the lack of Starscream. Txen: *hear hears from the dragons in the audience* chronosmith: *hops up to approach the bar; is Ravage working it this time, too?* NoodlesAtNight: *Yes, he is.* queenjazzy: The music is still grating to the audial sensors however. radioactivibee: Yeah, but you don't like anything fun. opatoes: I think the music's pretty great! It's fun! chronosmith: All right, mech. You run tabs? I don't got anything on me right this second, but you know I'm good for some of the good stuff. NoodlesAtNight: *Ravage gives Whirl a squint* queenjazzy: No one asked you Bug. NoodlesAtNight: =Fine. Order.= radioactivibee: And someone asked /you,/ Spidersqueak? opatoes: ... what is with decepticons and having nice voices chronosmith: Gaugebuster. Tall as you can spare. How many boxes you want in return? radioactivibee: I don't know, but do you remember Dreadwing's? radioactivibee: Dreamy. NoodlesAtNight: [[It was pleasant.]] opatoes: I know, right? radioactivibee: ...Oh right. Spidersqueak, you ripped off Soundwave on the whole "kidnap Ratchet" thing. NoodlesAtNight: *Ravage taps his tail claws three times, then goes to mix up something fit to be called "tall".* opatoes: ..... queenjazzy: I was stating it to no one. radioactivibee: ...Frag, Predaking has a nice voice too. queenjazzy: MY Soundwave never did it. queenjazzy: Because he is dead. chronosmith: *leans on the bar and watches while he waits* opatoes: predaking's voice is so nice radioactivibee: .................. NoodlesAtNight: *Soundwave settles in next to his ally. Time to enjoy tonight.* Txen: *there is a Predaking here, by the way* opatoes: Like- I could listen to jhim read random comm numbers, you know? opatoes: ..... agooddistraction: boom opatoes: WHEELJACK WHEELWHEEL YOU'RE BEING COOL Txen: Darksteel: *snorts* Maybe you just ain't heard enough of it yet. NoodlesAtNight: *Uuuuuuup goes the drink. Have at.* agooddistraction: I'm always cool chronosmith: *nods once his drink is done and takes it in one claw* Three, you got it. Either by Wednesday or next Monday. opatoes: Maybe I could hear more? radioactivibee: Dang Magnus... NoodlesAtNight: *Yes. Punch Magnus. Good.* radioactivibee: (( ...i'm gonna v quickly get food i did not think this out opatoes: You are always cool-- how're you so cool? radioactivibee: Agreed. chronosmith: *NICE move, big guy* queenjazzy: [she enjoys the Predacon is winning against Prime] chronosmith: *makes his way back to his table and hunches over his Gaugebuster, inhaling the bouquet* NoodlesAtNight: \\WHAT'S IT LIKE GETTIN' CARRIED OFF LIKE THAT?\\ chronosmith: PFFT. chronosmith: Scooped you up like a kitten, Shockwave! Ha! opatoes: I wanna be scooped up like that opatoes: I mean opatoes: Kittenwave Txen: Analog flight is less steady than jet propulsion. Txen: *is not a kitten. or a kittenwave* opatoes: ..... chronosmith: It is, but it's so, so much more interesting. opatoes: what is WITH Decepticons and standing above you while you're knocked out NoodlesAtNight: [[It's called intimidation.]] chronosmith: I mean, ALL forms of flight are inferior to rotary flight, let's just settle that now. But Analogue flight is not too shabby. agooddistracyion: They like to feel tall queenjazzy: What Soundwave said. opatoes: Megatron doesn't want me there again pf Txen: I was not asked whether I found it interesting. I was asked what the experience of being carried by a Predacon is like. chronosmith: I was just commenting, mech. queenjazzy: Why are Autobot bases so easy to find? Txen: *could talk about flight bladders and wing structure all day* chronosmith: *he would probably listen* chronosmith: Dunno. I think too few people take advantage of moving bases, personally. queenjazzy: [chinhands] opatoes: ..... queenjazzy: He's so cute when he's grumpy. chronosmith: *sidelong, sly glance at Airachnid* Txen: *privately agrees. not that he's going to admit out loud that his current base is mobile* chronosmith: Something tells me you find ALL of his moods cute, Legs. *snickers* NoodlesAtNight: *Extremely silent agreement.* opatoes: ....... queenjazzy: You know what? I cannot even argue with that. opatoes: Who feels guilty for working with Megatron chronosmith: *snickers again and takes a sip of his drink* Txen: ((magnus no)) opatoes: ultra magnus is pretty bad at inspirational speeches huh Txen: ((hes trying but its so bad every time)) chronosmith: Lord. The worst. NoodlesAtNight: [[You have no idea.]] NoodlesAtNight: [[He eavesdropped on many of them during the war.]] queenjazzy: I was more inspired by reading the instructions on how to heat up energon. opatoes: Kinda miss hearing from him, though chronosmith: I've got a pretty good track record of hyping up mechs before a fight. Y'all should've been there before we raided Temptoria. opatoes: .... Star that wasn't-- okay NoodlesAtNight: \\YEAH? WHAT WAS IT LIKE?\\ chronosmith: Nothing is more stirring than hearing a shipful of mechs chant with you: "We kill 'Cons!" NoodlesAtNight: \\TCH.\\ NoodlesAtNight: *Soundwave shakes his helm. Honestly, Starscream...* queenjazzy: [happy chirping] queenjazzy: [so cute] Txen: *Starscream, why didn't you just level the entire place... imbecile* opatoes: He's- distracting him with technology chronosmith: Uh oh. They've appealed to his... inner nerd. opatoes: ..... NoodlesAtNight: *Decepticon Engineering is indeed very, very impressive.* queenjazzy: Indeed. queenjazzy: It's very easy to do so with actually decent technology is around. Txen: *thats what happens when you have superior resources committed to superior minds* opatoes: Primus I'm glad my Megs hasn't looked at Earth again NoodlesAtNight: [[No, we aren't...]] chronosmith: Pfft. Mama. chronosmith: *makes a very soft, cheeping noise, like a baby bird* radioactivibee: [walks back in with dinner] radioactivibee: Oooooh, so that's how they got Ratchet to work with them. chronosmith: So this is how you seduce mecha to your side. With science. queenjazzy: He does love science. Txen: *all the predacons perk up at that. even Predaking does, a little. Darksteel cheeps back* NoodlesAtNight: [[It's very effective.]] radioactivibee: You should know radioactivibee: ..........Raf opatoes: PFPFF radioactivibee: Raf no. radioactivibee: RAF NO chronosmith: *blinks and looks over* ... *well, he might as well: cheeps again* opatoes: HE'S BECOMING MINI RATCHET NoodlesAtNight: *Laserbeak makes a raspberry noise at Whirl* chronosmith: *swivels his helm over and cheeps back, adorably* chronosmith: *it sounds just like it did when he was temporarily a bird* Txen: Darksteel: You sound -just- like a hatchling. chronosmith: *LAUGHS* NoodlesAtNight: \\MAYBE YOU OUGHTA SIT ON 'IM.\\ chronosmith: I do? I've yet to see these hatchlings of yours. Txen: Darksteel: *half-gets up and looks mischievous like he's thinking about the sitting thing* radioactivibee: ...Oh. chronosmith: *eyes Darksteel with an amused, deadpan expression* Do I look like an egg to you? NoodlesAtNight: *Laserbeak chirps in Darksteel's direction* {{What big blue egg say?}} Txen: Darksteel: *tilts head till its almost sideways* Dunno. You look pretty leggy for an eggy, hyeh heh! queenjazzy: [chirrup at screen. is happy he's getting so much screen time] chronosmith: *SNICKERS AGAIN* chronosmith: ((also brb y'all i am gonna grab something)) radioactivibee: ...Egg? opatoes: egg radioactivibee: Egg FakeProwl: *is late* FakeProwl: How much did I miss? NoodlesAtNight: (txt): Will send summary. FakeProwl: *acknowledging ping* Txen: Skylynx: *sniffs at Laserbeak* It's not a real language. More like begging for attention. NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Decepticons took component. Ratchet taken aboard Nemesis, convinced to assist Omega Lock/synthetic energon perfection process. Laserbeak piece modified, now ship tracker. opatoes: The 'cons aren't THAT observant Txen: ...The Nemesis has sophisticated sensory technology. chronosmith: Well, there are worst fates that being sat on by a predacon. *takes asip, and regards the group with a cheeky, cheerful optic* Might even be fun. NoodlesAtNight: {{Maybe egg cold. You give attention, egg not chirp.}} radioactivibee: Yeah Smokes, they are. opatoes: I ran through there and stole back relics without them EVER noticing. They're pretty bad at this. FakeProwl: *who's near soundwave* queenjazzy: [happy clapping, she's glad Ratchet is ordering Knock Out around] Txen: *Shockwave is of course* opatoes: 😞 NoodlesAtNight: *Slithers one feeler out juuuuuuust enough to deliver a tiny bzzt to Shockwave's side. He likes hearing his ally work. Then masks it by continuing to stretch it and reach past to lift Ravage and bring him over to the crowd* Txen: Skylynx: *sticks out tongue* I had enough of that, thanks~ chronosmith: *he's watching Airachnid just as much as he is the documentary, eager to see all of her reactions to ratchet* FakeProwl: *no one else? tolerable. sits on soundwave's other side.* NoodlesAtNight: *Nod.* chronosmith: Liege. Ugh. radioactivibee: Shockwave has really pretty biolights. It's not fair Swoop: :V chronosmith: You'll never catch ME calling ANYONE "liege." NoodlesAtNight: *Laserbeak caws a hello at Swoop* Swoop: *has no idea what's going on, waves anyway* queenjazzy: I only say it out of habit. Megatron liked to be called that. My new commanding officer? Not so much. FakeProwl: *oh, good. the newest addition to Prowl's list of pests.* queenjazzy: Thankfully. Txen: *Shockwave stiffens when zapped, with a quiet sound that's only partially born of surprise. his claws tighten their grip on his thighs* radioactivibee: Wonder why... chronosmith: There's no way in hell I'd serve someone who required me to call them that. NoodlesAtNight: *Silently amused.* Swoop: Keheheh them not very good at shooting queenjazzy: No... they are not. Txen: *called Megatron whatever was most convenient to maintaining tolerable working conditions, Whirl. not that he's paying attention to the 'liege' debate* queenjazzy: [looks at new guest] chronosmith: *some people are able to set aside their pride to continue to be productive members of society. Shockwave is among them; Whirl is not* radioactivibee: Why liege though? That's...so pretentious. opatoes: Megatron's pretty pretentious radioactivibee: ...Fair. chronosmith: If someone wanted ANY kind of honorific they should fight for it, I say. Swoop: PFF NoodlesAtNight: [[He did.]] Swoop: EVERYONE bad shooters NoodlesAtNight: [[For millions of years.]] Txen: *the predacons agree* queenjazzy: Because he IS pretentious. queenjazzy: Or. queenjazzy: Was. chronosmith: Well, personally, I mean. radioactivibee: ...Dang Ratchet. opatoes: ......... opatoes: primus chronosmith: ((JEFFREY.... COMBS!!!)) radioactivibee: (( MY LOVE )) NoodlesAtNight: {{Neheheh. Bye-bye, Bird bit~ You not so good as real Bird.}} Swoop: No one good as real Bird :> chronosmith: Not even close. *toasts Laserbeak* NoodlesAtNight: *Flutters her wing plates at both compliments* Txen: *THAT DAINTY WAY HE HOLDS THE VIAL* Swoop: Kick him, Ratchet! :V radioactivibee: ............. opatoes: ........... opatoes: bee radioactivibee: Smokey Swoop: ????? opatoes: are you thinking what I'm thinking Swoop: Why Predaking fight Ratchet??? Txen: ... *glances inscrutably at Soundwave* chronosmith: Personal satisfaction. queenjazzy: What he said. radioactivibee: Predaking looks pretty nice? chronosmith: They bamboozled the hell out of him. Swoop: 😕 NoodlesAtNight: {{Him thinking Autobot kill brothers.}} opatoes: .... Something like that radioactivibee: .............. Swoop: Do they? queenjazzy: [quiet hissing under breath] radioactivibee: W-were you thinking something else? opatoes: .... I mean- maybe? NoodlesAtNight: {{Noooo. Him Megatron done.}} radioactivibee: What> Swoop: Predaking go beat up Megatron then opatoes: I'm not about to sya! Swoop: Not Ratchet 😕 😕 😕 radioactivibee: Why noooooooot? Txen: ((you two are lucky predakings over on the other side of the room lmao)) NoodlesAtNight: *Tiny head turn in Shockwave's direction.* opatoes: Because Predaking's here? radioactivibee: Oh radioactivibee: wait wha- [looks across room] radioactivibee: ............. Swoop: ((bro Swoop'd say it to his face)) radioactivibee: [aaand the mouthguard goes up] Swoop: ((i am 12 and what is this)) Txen: Predaking: *looking regal in a chair and watching events intently* Swoop: :V Swoop: *so much squacking* Swoop: *the opposite of regal* opatoes: /He's gonna wave at Predaking and wink/ radioactivibee: ... chronosmith: *SNICKERS* Swoop: ?????????????? radioactivibee: [awkwardly waves at Predaking while trying to hide his face] queenjazzy: [she's very glad these creatures don't exist in her reality] NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Work schedule adjustment progress? Nocturnal existence suitable? Txen: Predaking: *doesnt see it. this scene is Important* Swoop: *would literally fight anyone for ratchet what is happening?????* radioactivibee: [very, very happy Predaking didn't see him] FakeProwl: @Soundwave «Adjustment made. Nocturnal existence is bearable.» Swoop: :V opatoes: oh primus predaking is so cool radioactivibee: [is also very happy none of those Vehicons were Allen] chronosmith: *now also watching intently; is he gonna fight Megatron? IS HE??? OH BOY* Swoop: Rachet safe now????????????? radioactivibee: ...Optimus is so happy radioactivibee: was radioactivibee: is radioactivibee: um NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: Pleasing. Enjoy relative city silence. NoodlesAtNight: {{"Safe".}} opatoes: ..... radioactivibee: ....... Swoop: "Safe"? :V radioactivibee: Safe radioactivibee: ? opatoes: he- he- safe and okay and fine and chronosmith: One thing I don't get, though--why didn't you go ahead and kill Ratchet? *looks to Predaking* I mean, sure, Megatron set him up, but he still did the thing. opatoes: nothing will happen to him NoodlesAtNight: {{You see, you see. Watching!}} Chillsins: *Is fashionably late.* Swoop: *is going to hold Bird like a pillow cause what is this even* chronosmith: *will swivel his helm around and bob it at Windchill; he's sitting alone tonight. FOR NOW* FakeProwl: @Soundwave «The area around my worksite was already relatively quiet. Most of the nearby residents moved away after Devastator rampaged through.» agooddistraction: ((Ultra Magnus really does have skinny legs...)) NoodlesAtNight: *He's going to enjoy this footage real quick. Hold on.* Chillsins: *WHAT* chronosmith: *immediately returns his attention to the screen* Chillsins: ...What did I miss? Txen: @Soundwave *antenna twitch... then twitch again. hand inches away from his leg and into the space between them. he's Thinking. and here returns that Interest with a Capital I* opatoes: This reminds me I gotta see to sparring with Megs again radioactivibee: [enjoys this a little too much] radioactivibee: [..enjoying it less] Swoop: *such torn feelings* Him Predaking pretty cool fighter.... queenjazzy: So... he cheated. Swoop: That not cunning. That a button. Txen: Predaking: *attention flickers to Whirl when he's asked a question* He had been subdued. And I was angry. chronosmith: He... can fly. NoodlesAtNight: *Frenzy EXPLODES with laughter* Chillsins: *He's gonna find a place to sit and...figure it out.* chronosmith: Your big plan is to put him into the sky? NoodlesAtNight: *Good one, Swoop* Swoop: ((omg swoop)) opatoes: Tall dark and scaly.... chronosmith: Hmm. *shrugs* Swoop: Megatron not very good at killing people chronosmith: In Ratchet's place, I would've absolutely annihilated my enemy before they got on their feet. But in YOUR place, I would've killed him for doing it. opatoes: ,................................................................................................................ opatoes: ((dangit eggs radioactivibee: (( EGGS!!! chronosmith: (9EGG)) queenjazzy: she must speak)) NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Understood. ... Residents return in time. Public will see. NoodlesAtNight: NoodlesAtNight: *And Soundwave's digits slooooowly wander through that little space and toward Shockwave's hand.* Chillsins: *This helps fill in some of the blanks, yes.* chronosmith: *takes a nice, long swig of his gaugebuster and leans back, savoring the taste* Chillsins: That stupid sword. NoodlesAtNight: [[Wretched sword, rather.]] Chillsins: I don't like it because it's dumb and it looks dumb. FakeProwl: @Soundwave «They have already begun to see. I have, believe it or not, received some positive press.» radioactivibee: It's like, the bad version of a Lightsaber opatoes: You know, this reminds me- how far is everyone with their Cybertron's restoration? Swoop: Cybertron DEAD radioactivibee: Iacon's mostly there queenjazzy: I still cannot fathom why he gave it that name. Txen: Predaking: Understandable. *frowns* But had I done so, he would not have survived to save the life of my offspring later. The debt has been... addressed. radioactivibee: Haven't explored that much yet, trying to get more refugees to Kaon. radioactivibee: It's...pretty well-preserved NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Request: Share examples later? NoodlesAtNight: [[Cybertron's restoration progresses slowly but steadily.]] queenjazzy: Mine is fully restored because you know. chronosmith: Oh, hey. There we go. Turned out all right for you, I guess--not the first time I've heard of someone making better life decisions than I would. *snorts* radioactivibee: and thank primus tyger pax is still uninhabitable queenjazzy: The Autobots didn't destroy the Omega Lock. radioactivibee: Yeah. FakeProwl: *acknowledging ping* Chillsins: Everyone makes better life decisions than you, Whirl. chronosmith: I have no idea what state my Cybertron is in. It could've been turned to cheese for all I know. Chillsins: *Came here to be mean I guess.* NoodlesAtNight: [[A small group of scientists have camped in a facility in the ruins of Helex. They have decided to rename it Double Helex.]] NoodlesAtNight: [[Ultra Magnus' groaning could be heard for blocks.]] chronosmith: And, that's fair, Windchill. Swoop: Rachet badass 😃 chronosmith: *more fair than you know; whirl's decisions START WARS* opatoes: ... Guess most of us are on a pretty similar level, huh? We think- I'm pretty sure we found something that'll help our Cybertron a LOT and- anyway, I'm hoping Megs will find something from the results soon NoodlesAtNight: *Ahhh, more Shockwave fighting.* Swoop: Kick his aft!! 😃 😃 😃 chronosmith: Nerd fight! NoodlesAtNight: *And Ratchet fighting. Honestly, he can't not like this scene.* radioactivibee: [watching intently, did not see this battle] Chillsins: *Snorts.* queenjazzy: [chuckles] radioactivibee: pfffft radioactivibee: Smokes, what'd you find? Swoop: Bird 😮 opatoes: ... Well- something really helpful and important! radioactivibee: Can't say what? Chillsins: ...REally? NoodlesAtNight: {{Nooo, keheh. This Other Bird.}} Txen: Shockwave: *clutches that hand as soon as its in range* chronosmith: Pfft. Slick. radioactivibee: ...Nice move, Soundwave. opatoes: Not about to say it in public- just in case. radioactivibee: It's not exactly a trick if you know about it, Magnus. Chillsins: Why does that trick always work? NoodlesAtNight: *Waves his free hand dismissively* [[He did not do this. His war was over several tapes ago.]] radioactivibee: Gotcha. radioactivibee: Because how can you avoid a bridge?? agooddistraction: ...the girl's hair poofs twitch chronosmith: Fly. Chillsins: You can if you're not STUPID and know it's coming. chronosmith: I mean, y'know. If you're able. radioactivibee: ......... radioactivibee: I mean, if it's in a small hallway. Swoop: What omega lock? radioactivibee: And Soundwave can manipulate the size of the bridge NoodlesAtNight: [[A planet restoration device. A... system restore, if you will.]] radioactivibee: You're kinda screwed. chronosmith: Yep. All you have to do is not be stupid. radioactivibee: ................ NoodlesAtNight: *Tucks his chin in in disapproval. This. Scene.* radioactivibee: Again. queenjazzy: [tilts helm] queenjazzy: [oh] radioactivibee: Soundwave is a master bridge...um...I guess wielder Swoop: ??????????? queenjazzy: [she remembers what happens] Chillsins: Oh my god. radioactivibee: Oh radioactivibee: Oh that's what happened. agooddistraction: hahahaahaha Swoop: Him Soundwave is ghost chronosmith: *sets his drink down, streeetches... and then rapidly shifts into alt-mode, opening a bridge underneath Windchill* radioactivibee: No wonder Raf wouldn't talk about it. chronosmith: *he summarily dumps him into a nearby seat, but remains hovering* NoodlesAtNight: [[WHIRL.]] NoodlesAtNight: *Well, now Prowl will know why he disliked showing him the Shadowzone.* radioactivibee: Smokey how. opatoes: HEHEEE opatoes: How what? chronosmith: *swivels in mid-air towards Soundwave* Hm? NoodlesAtNight: *Curls the fingers holding Shockwave's hand a bit tighter* chronosmith: Just proving a point. radioactivibee: How'd you know? opatoes: Starscream's shocked face Chillsins: *Immediately disappears, only to reappear bearing an expression of dull surprise.* opatoes: I've been on that ship enough to know! chronosmith: ((DULL SURPRISE)) NoodlesAtNight: [[Do not open unauthorized bridges in his facility.]] radioactivibee: ...that's not a GOOD thing opatoes: .... Chillsins: (( YOU'RE WELCOME )) radioactivibee: I mean, now it's ok opatoes: I know it's not but it came in handy then! chronosmith: All right, all right. Fair enough. NoodlesAtNight: [[You may Shadowzone us all if something goes wrong.]] radioactivibee: True Chillsins: What... radioactivibee: ......is there a Shockwave here? agooddistraction: Go Bee radioactivibee: Ha, um...sorry chronosmith: *repositions himself and shifts back into root-mode, landing nearly and taking a seat* NoodlesAtNight: *Soundwave motions to the one right next to him.* opatoes: ... Having a little trouble there bee? Txen: Shockwave: *looks at Bee* radioactivibee: [waves nervously] Swoop: Starscream only flier here. Why no one trying to push bots in hole? Chillsins: *He appears to be in roughly the same location. Seeing as he's definitely had worse, he looks more annoyed than concerned.* radioactivibee: [time to sink into his blanket] queenjazzy: [CACKLES] opatoes: ....... agooddistraction: oh radioactivibee: shut up, spidersqueak Bruin: .............. Chillsins: *Shoots Whirl the dirtiest look of ALL.* Txen: Shockwave: *does not wave back* chronosmith: *regards him smugly over his drink* Chillsins: *Everyone knew he was stupid though.( agooddistraction: scrap opatoes: /Aaaand he's starting to cry even if he knows it's okay. Seeing bots dying is kinda really painful/ Swoop: oh, him dead radioactivibee: Smokey, you ok? radioactivibee: Yeah, yeah, whatever, me dead. Awesome. agooddistraction: but..... opatoes: nnnooo opatoes: are you okay Chillsins: *Tries to return his attention to more dramatic events.* radioactivibee: do i really have to answer that? opatoes: ..... radioactivibee: awesome NoodlesAtNight: *Leans forward* radioactivibee: [hunkers down in a blanket] agooddistraction: I will admit seeing Megatron punched in the face that hard was enjoyable.

FakeProwl: ((ahh, Bad Apple MMDs are my favorites)) chronosmith: *that mech is unfamiliar but Whirl is going to just jump to conclusions and assume he got Empurata'd, just look at him* queenjazzy: Do not argue with the host.

Chillsins: He looks...dumber than usual. opatoes: No! But there's a lot of different descriptors that can come from one chronosmith: ...That DOES sound like something he would say. About kissing himself. NoodlesAtNight: [[That's a difficult bar to reach, Windchill.]] Chillsins: Yet, he managed. NoodlesAtNight: [[But if anyone could clear it, Wheeljack would.]] Chaoit: You're not annoying, just chatty opatoes: /And he can't help but sing along/ Txen: Skylynx: *talk of turbopups?* I like 'em.

I'd have done that the moment I noticed, if that was my plan. NoodlesAtNight: \\BOSS!\\ radioactivibee: ...It literally means nothing. chronosmith: @Frenzy: What HAPPENED, anyway? Is there anything... y'know. *he can do* Chillsins: Exactly. radioactivibee: ..............And that's a Soundwave. radioactivibee: Soundwave, you should totally do this. radioactivibee: Chilly, is it?

Chillsins: *Nods sagely.* chronosmith: Well, I would do that, if I could dance. Sadly, I cannot. Chillsins: *He knows. * radioactivibee: Everyone can dance.

It's a good song, and I guess it'd be a fine one to do something SOLO to... but I like Una Notte better. radioactivibee: (( Sympathique is legit about going to lunch and smoking all day XD )) chronosmith: Better for a sort of slower, more graceful dance--not that I'd know. opatoes: 😮 queenjazzy: [dancing Airachnids are elusive creatures] chronosmith: ((IT'S a cute, sort of... rhythmic song, very point-point-point)) radioactivibee: Sure, Whirl. opatoes: ((I was trying to rip her model but the only "success" I had was with the ds game and apparently 3d models are stored in pieces on ds games radioactivibee: (( My french teacher used to play it every friday so it became The Friday Song Chillsins: I like this one. radioactivibee: (( OH NOOOOOOOOOOO )) queenjazzy: didn't it one time just come out as her torso?)) chronosmith: Anyway *streetches; he nods to Frenzy once, to reiterate his offer, and hops up* I'm out.

Another week, another near-sun tan. This week I’ve seen a friend in person (what the actual fuck?) and found a new direction for exercise. That sounds pretty good, right? It was extremely disconcerting to meet up with a person in real life – I’ve begun to feel a little like all my friends who have long assured me that they’ve met their best friends purely online – but three hours sitting in the local park in a government-approved triangle was lovely. I’ve been seeing others largely as things to be avoided as they blunder towards me, breathing heavily with no sense of physical distance. Apart from the postman and chin tilts to neighbours it’s the most human experience I’ve had of late. I also attended a properly fun Zoom birthday party too (thanks Mr Ben!), so clearly we’re getting used to these things.
Heading out in the direction of Dovecote Lane park eventually sent me that way on my bike too. I’ve found exercise really hard for the last couple of months. I’ve always relied on cycling to work (and the swim at the halfway point) for a few miles in each direction to keep me fit without feeling like I was doing exercise, and it’s been pretty good for keeping me fit and able to eat and drink what I like. Well fuck you very much lockdown, that’s been properly trashed. Cycling in an aimless circle round university park or Beeston has been quite cack, and while jogging on the spot clearly burns calories it’s too tedious. So I’ve started cycling out to Attenborough Nature Reserve. It’s not especially far, but I’ve rarely explored round there, so I’m enjoying heading off down a road with no clue where it goes. It’s not made me late for work… yet. Even when I didn’t sleep at all on Thursday night I got up and went for an explore before work. Must be good!
In between late night walks around Beeston, drinking too much and watching TV, we’ve continued our slow build of the LEGO Brick Bank. It’s quite lovely.
I’ve also finally returned to LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga on our Wii. I’m up to 30-something per cent and enjoying it enormously. I have discovered though that our TV really can’t handle proper dark contrast on a sunny day, so I’m dying a lot by falling off edges I can’t see. There have been a few levels where I’ve had to stand right in front of the TV (in sport mode), and just hoped I’d find the exit to a room. Still, I’ve got Indy and General Grievous to hop around and smash stuff, so I’m happy.
Oh yeah, and another bootleg Mando arrived this week – with shiny beskar armour! Baby Yoda will have his Mister Shiny Helmet. Nicely, he comes with a screwdriver accessory which I assume is supposed to be the tracking fob. There is something in me compelling me to acquire more of these guys… I’ve also just got the Armourer, but pics of her will have to wait till I’ve crafted a custom cloak. What is wrong with me…?
Watching: Hollywood
OK, so this should have been in last week’s post, but I’d forgotten that we’d watched it. That’s no indication of how good it is, everything belongs to the neverwhen at the moment. Plus we caned through it in three nights. This is a very strange show, offering us an alternate Hollywood of the 1950s in which the reviled minorities of the day can actually get a foothold in the industry. The show nails the golden era vibe, from movie producer boardrooms to the grim/delightful gas station gigolos. Over the first couple of episodes the show draws together the flailing careers of half a dozen interesting and purposely diverse young Hollywood hopefuls and then sets them together in a movie, despite, or perhaps because of, their race, gender and sexuality – all things that would have killed their careers in real Hollywood. It’s a very pleasing show; the acting is great, from the keen Jack Castello moonlighting as an escort from the aforementioned gas station (it and its owner, Ernie West, are an absolute highlight), aspiring black actor Camille, Archie the black and gay screenwriter who finds himself in a relationship with Rock Hudson (also a delight, and terrible actor in a fantastic screentest montage), and the awesome double act of Hollywood execs Dick Samuels and Ellen Kincaid, plus the quite distressing sleazy and manipulative agent Henry, played with soiled glee by Jim Parsons.
It’s really good fun, and a moving story – each success feels wonderful, and Hollywood getting behind this gang is immensely satisfying, as is the acceptance and coming out of various characters at all levels of the business. For me, it remained jarring however, for just how unreal the situation is compared to Hollywood of the ’50s – it never escaped its own unlikeliness. Most certainly worth a watch.

Doing: We Are What We Overcome – Live Specials
We’re continuing to livestream every other Monday on Facebook, this time on trying to be aware of our mental health states, as well as that of others. I feel like we’re getting better at this live babbling thing. It feels less awkward now. We’ll be streaming to Facebook next on Monday 1 June, and you can watch em all right here.
Reading: The Lock Artist by Steve Hamilton
I’ve been through another couple of weeks of struggling to read properly, or at least as quickly as I enjoy. After discarding half a dozen books less than one chapter in, I finally prised open my book cupboard and pulled out the first pretty thing I could find. It was this! A pleasing and sharply written story of a boy traumatised into silence by an event in his childhood (which is only fully revealed toward the end, and works very nicely), a lad who discovers he has two talents, drawing and lock picking… We’re given two main story threads to skip between: his life as the lock artist led by a series of pagers offering jobs that he responds to, and how he got into all this trouble in the first place. They’re both peculiarly endearing, and that’s partly down to the charming internal monologue which carries through all of his interactions, since he does indeed remain mute throughout. He’s funny, and sweet, enough of an outsider through his selective mutism to have a cynical eye, and yet through his silence other people just trust him. Including proper big bad criminal types. It all ends rather badly, but we’re told that from the beginning. His lengthy infatuation and distance romance via comic book pages that he and his sort-of girlfriend exchange is genuinely delightful. This is fast-paced and fun, with a harsh shade of real darkness in both his past and future.
Reading: Transformers vol. 1: The World in Your Eyes
This was a hard read for me. I’m a huge fan of IDW’s previous Transformers continuity, which ran for an extraordinary thirteen years (a feat that I don’t think any other Western comic series, still less one based on a toy line, has achieved), taking us from the brutal finale of the Autobot-Decepticon war through to peace time, with wonderful characters, alternating humour with dark political wranglings. This new reboot has quite a lot to live up to…
We’re taken millions of years back to Cybertron pre-war, introducing us to the sights through the eyes of newly forged Rubble, who’s being shown round by Bumblebee. Of course, it’s the worst possible time to show a new kid round, as the tensions between the establishment and Megatron’s “Ascenticons” are just now bleeding over into violence. It’s a lovely Cybertron, one we’ve only glimpsed before in flashbacks (or, memorably, time travel), and it’s a thriving world with vast architecture, travel and commerce. A successful world, which for what feels like the first time, has organic alien races living alongside the Transformers. It’s sad to think it’ll all be ripped apart soon…
It’s a very pretty comic, but is incredibly slow moving, even for the first chapter introducing a rebooted world. I suspect I’m finding it hard going from the well-established characters of the last continuity to seeing them all reshuffled and now filling different roles. It’s a cool era to set the story in though, and I think it’s got promise.
Building: LEGO Ninjago 70736 Attack of the Morro Dragon
I love Ninjago’s dragons and the insane aesthics the range has pursued down the years, giving us both traditionalish ninjas and dragons, but also Mad Max dieselpunk, enormous mechs, and more recently Tron-style arcade stuff. Bonkers. Oh, and also the stunning Ninjago City builds and the even wilder designs from The LEGO Ninjago Movie.
This set’s a little older, and like most of the Ninjago line I only pick them up when they’re quite severely discounted. Obviously it was the glow in the dark colours that appealed to me most of all, and those lovely wings. It’s a satisfying assembly, with a mini temple build, sky bikes (or something, I don’t really follow the stories), a couple of ninjas and three more of these evil ninjas with transparent legs and heads. Oh, and two ghosts. I’ve already put them somewhere but it’s the dragon I was interested in.
This is actually a smaller set than I thought it was, and comes together very quickly indeed. Despite being larger, and having more pieces than Master Wu’s dragon (a fantastic LEGO set), it’s a shorter build all round. The construction is like many of the others, a combination of big crunchy joints and the little Mixels ones for legs, wings and tail. I always enjoy the design of the dragon head itself, which gives the beastie a lot of character. The chin horn is oddly satisfying! All the glow in the dark pieces give the dragon its lovely roiling curves, but leave it sadly inflexible. It’s a dragon I’d love to coil around a building, but that’s gonna take a severe re-engineering of its body. It’s rather striking, and I imagine this one will remain constructed for quite a while, at least until I want to plunder its glowing parts.
And just because I liked it…
youtube
Watching: Never Have I Ever
We watched this in a single night… I’m always thrilled to stumble across shows with under half-hour episode lengths at present. This is a pretty straightforward US highschool outsider tale, from the somewhat unusual perspective of an Indian-American family. That’s a pretty familiar trope in UK TV, and was very welcome in the even-more-familiar US high school setting. I’m not sure that there’s anything exceptional here, but it’s warmly told, with a number of fun and occasionally over the top performances, all solidly conforming to our expectations of a high school drama. I had some trouble figuring out how old the characters were supposed to be as it’s the usual casting combo of girls who must be in their twenties, but look about 14, and guys who are plainly in their mid-thirties. No wonder kids are so confused these days etc. As usual it’s the vibe between the BFFs that makes this fun to watch, particularly drama-queen Ramona Wong (wonderfully and worryingly odd in the lamentably cancelled Santa Clarita Diet). As filled with diversity and coming out stories as you could hope for, this is plenty of fun, if not especially memorable. Oh yeah, and it’s narrated by John McEnroe. Yes, the tennis player.

Based on a TMZ source: “She’s completely happy and in love and he’s not going anyplace.” Per insiders, the music video is a testomony to their relationship, because it mirrors the love they’ve for one another. In actual fact, reportedly, the 2’s attractive scenes have been just about shot in a single take. No matter how Miz Minaj feels, some social media customers have been PISSED about Petty’s cameo.

Petty was additionally charged with manslaughter again in 2006 after allegedly capturing a person in an unrelated incident. [Image via WENN.] Source link
