April 8 Dancitron Movie Night - Bumblebee

Documentary tracked down from a new universe, tonight. They spent less time analyzing the state of the war and what they glimpsed of the major players than they did critiquing how the humans interacted with the Decepticons.

After the movie, Prowl and Soundwave totally banged.

Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 7:46 PM ((NOTE: Quoted dialogue and prose for the logger's sanity's sake. Thanks!)) Who's got four limbs and is pleased with himself for fixing the communications tower? This mech. Soundwave's eyeing the video wall and making some small adjustments here and there to the picture, trying to get it as clear as can be. Tonight's going to be INFORMATIVE. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 7:47 PM Smokescreen's coming in and is immediately dancing to the music! "Soundwave, long time no see! What's on the menu tonight?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 7:49 PM Soundwave is in a fine mood - must be that visit to police HQ and the loss of fuzz contributing. He actually gets up to join Smokescreen for a bit.

[[Greetings. Tonight, we are looking at another timeline. It was not easy to get his claws on the footage, but he thinks it will work.]] Sludge (slvdge)Today at 7:49 PM Surprise Soundave, tonight you get two Dinobots for the price of one. Sludge wanders in first, one hand clutching tightly to a leash as he looks around. TeamPrimesMotherHenToday at 7:50 PM Arcee has finally managed to join once again, now that she wasn't busy as ever. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 7:50 PM //hgnhgb chrome stop taking the remote every time i click on the window Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 7:50 PM Smokescreen is more than happy to dance with Soundwave, occasionally bumping into him deliberately, "Oooh, another timeline? Is it the boxy one? I've got some documentaries that I'd love to show you sometime!" Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 7:50 PM Behind Sludge, attached to the other end of said leash, is Swoop. He's sporting a full blown baby leash, guys, and looking more the bird than usual with how much looking around he's doing. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 7:50 PM Aaaaaand he's pausing right away to eye the Dinobot with shoulders tensed. If this is going to be like the visit from Grimlock, he'd like to be prepared. It's kind of funny looking, given that he starts trying to avoid being bumped by Smokescreen while he's at it. Don't touch, bot. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 7:51 PM ((Okay, am I the only one hearing rock along with the movie?)) Sludge (slvdge)Today at 7:51 PM //gf is the movie supposed to be playing already //or did it start when rabbit stole the remote for me when i was setting up my split screen Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 7:51 PM Jingle, jangle go the bells on Swoop's ankles. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 7:51 PM ((it isn't supposed to be on, sorry - it does that sometimes when the remote gets snitched)) Sludge (slvdge)Today at 7:53 PM Sludge picks a couch and beelines for it, tugging on the leash. "You Swoop behave now." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 7:53 PM [[...Swoop.]] Oh, now that's funny. A literal leash. Well, if it works, it works. All he wants is to be sure that they don't need a repeat of last week. [[And - Sludge, yes? Greetings.]] Sludge (slvdge)Today at 7:53 PM His head whips around to squint at Soundwave suspiciously. "You Soundwave?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 7:54 PM [[He is. Is there a problem?]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 7:54 PM Swoop takes a few longer steps to end up peaking around Sludge's massive arm at Soundwave. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 7:55 PM "You Soundwave always problem." Whatever that actually means. He takes the seat he'd been aiming for though, and looks around. "Me Sludge not know bots." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 7:56 PM Swoop gives Soundwave a little tentative wave. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 7:57 PM He'll ignore that, as long as a punch isn't following it. [[The mech dancing here with him is Smokescreen.]] Gesture. [[The mech being dragged along with you is Swoop. No one else is here yet.]] And a nod to Swoop. No angry looks here. percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 7:58 PM Perceptor peeks his head and and makes his way inside. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 7:58 PM [[And that--]] Nodding. [[Is Perceptor. But you should know that.]] Sludge (slvdge)Today at 7:58 PM He doesn't look anything like Smokescreen, but alright. He won't question it. "Me Sludge know Perceptor." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 7:59 PM Swoop chirps back at Soundwave and then looks around. He's (incapable of being anywhere other than) close to Sludge but that doesn't stop him from getting a little bouncy with the music. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 7:59 PM "Yeah! I'm Smokescreen! It's nice to meet you, uh- Sludge?" He's giving Sludge a look. Weird name! Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:00 PM He waves at Smokescreen, then gives Swoop enough slack to go visiting as long as he behaves. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:00 PM Prowl arrives a little later than usual; he was finishing up some work. But he immediately takes his usual seat and crosses his legs. percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:01 PM Perceptor will sit patiently down somewhere! Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:01 PM ((swoop is on a baby leash with bells on his ankles for any late comers)) Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:01 PM //sludge is holding the other end of the leash Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:01 PM ((it should have been done years ago)) Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:02 PM Jingle, jangle, jingle, jangle. Swoop can feel that slack and starts dancing with actual vigor, moving towards Smokescreen. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:02 PM ((although the idea of a baby leash being held by ANOTHER baby is hysterical)) Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:02 PM ((a much heavier baby! It's fiiiiine.)) Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:02 PM //good luck to swoop trying to get out of sludge's hold Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:02 PM [[A Dinobot, Smokescreen. One of Swoop's brothers - the variety NOT created by Shockwave.]]

He'll park himself by Prowl now that Prowl's here and ping a greeting. He lost the mood to dance when he worried about Sludge's appearance. Perhaps he'll dance for Prowl later, when the others are gone.

[[How are you doing, Perceptor? Adjusting?]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:02 PM ((baby, leashed by jumbo baby)) percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:03 PM “Ah, getting there! It’s still strange. Not used to this... body, I suppose. But only a few threats that I managed to evade, so things seem to be going well.” Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:03 PM (( Wheeze I return from hiking. )) (( Time to use graphics tablet as dual monitor. )) Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:04 PM He sends a greeting ping, sends an affection ping, and leans against Soundwave. His engine is steadily rumbling. percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:04 PM //oh yeah i forgot to mention percy is currently under a m!a where he’s teeny lmao Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:04 PM (( Omg. )) SpecsToday at 8:04 PM The dragon comes trundling in, cart full of treats with her. All the usual again tonight! Gummis and mercury rolls and rust sticks and silver drops and tinsel fish and more. Given the events of the last visit, she's heading pretty swiftly to the bar to get everything squared away before someone steps on her. She's a touch nervous about Baby Activities.

"Hello, Soundwave!" Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:04 PM (( I guess you could say it's a )) (( small world )) Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:04 PM ((Windchill! Swoop is on a baby leash with bells on his ankles, under Sludge's supervision. Help this toddler out.)) percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:04 PM //i thought you were going to say micro-scope and im so relieved you didn’t Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:05 PM Sludge can smell those snacks and there's a Suddenly Interested giant toddler looking towards a dragon. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:05 PM (( Well Chill's like minibot sized until the end of today so no promises. This fighting machine has been condensed. )) percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:06 PM //wow two minibots!! perfect Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:06 PM ((microscopic-scope then? percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:06 PM //djsks chaoit Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:06 PM ((Yes? SpecsToday at 8:06 PM Eep! Cue dragon poof as all her fur stands on end. Pwease no steppy. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:06 PM Swoop's just rocking out while everyone else does their own things. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:07 PM Sorry Swoop, Sludge's going to look at snacks, and that means dragging you halfway across the floor. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:07 PM [[Evaded threats? You taught them a lesson not to underestimate cassettes, he hopes.]]

...Is that - how odd. Prowl's engine doesn't do that most days. Is he ill? Soundwave will lean into him and offer a concerned nudge against that shoulder with his cheek.

[[Good evening, dragon. You wouldn't happen to have one of those magnetic offerings from before, would you?]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:07 PM HRK! Suddenly, Swoop is moving that way. percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:08 PM “More like I figured out how useful it is to be small and hid in cassette form until the threat went away so,... yes.” Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:08 PM ((oh wait i thought chill came in already lemme just. remove that until he does)) Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:08 PM He nudges Soundwave back and gives him a more suggestive engine rev. And then it settles back into a steady purr. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:09 PM Rebel bounds in, followed by a squat, black and white creature. It looks kind of like a panda, except not cute and none too happy about being a panda. It's Windchill, all right. Just a step above waddling along, as you do. His legs are short, it's a miracle he even made it in time. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:09 PM Soundwave tilts his helm at the rev, looks up at the music on screen, and... oh. OH. .... Oh dear. That's. Definitely unusual. Not unwelcome! But, uh. He's. Not entirely sure what to do with this information, now. SpecsToday at 8:10 PM "The cobalt cubes? Not in the cart, but if you want, I can run back and get them..?" She's surprised, but pleased all the same- she'd been making more, but not bringing them to movie nights. Mostly she was just waiting until the Prowl dating Soundwave sent out another call for fuel. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:10 PM Nothing, for the moment. He's just letting Soundwave know. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:11 PM Don't mind Sludge taking a large handful of snacks and returning to his seat, Swoop being dragged back and forth until he's resettled on his couch.

They're very good snacks. SpecsToday at 8:11 PM Don't mind the dragon looking like the world's poofiest dust bunny until Sludge returns to the couch. Pwease no steppy! Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:11 PM Swoop doesn't even attempt to fight Sludge's dragging. That is an unwinnable battle. He's just going to get dragged backwards to wherever Sludge decides to stop. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:11 PM ...The softest engine whir. Just loud enough for Prowl to hear. An acknowledgment.

[[Hiding in cassette form is a valid tactic. Very well done - though he hopes it will not be necessary in the fut...]] Oh, Primus. Windchill is tiny too? He's stuck staring for a second. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:12 PM Rebel, being of the adaptable sort, doesn't seem to care (if it ever registered,) that her dad is smaller than she is. She's too busy looking for Swoop, you see. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:12 PM Well, that's Prowl's evening plans sorted. percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:12 PM Perceptor is going to just draw his conclusions of what Soundwave is saying at the end there and nods. He sincerely hopes that as well. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:13 PM And now he's trapped between being a good host, throwing everyone out to see what it is Prowl is up to, and moving to check on both miniature bots to make sure they're not in need of repair or assistance. Why is this his life tonight. How is he supposed to concentrate on the film?

[[Ah. No, stay here; we're about to start. Still, he knows someone who might appreciate a cube or two to try, should you bring them next time.]] He'll have to transport them in person back on Iacon, but that's what flying deployers are for. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:14 PM (('scuse me a sec, birb attempted murder on me Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:14 PM Is Windchill going to be a reasonable person, or is he going to try to climb into a chair too large? Let's find out. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:15 PM Arrives in about as timely a manner as one can when they only just remembered the event was happening. percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:15 PM Perceptor isn’t even trying, he’s sitting on the floor. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:15 PM ((ALL RIGHT we're startin'. WARNINGS: Lots of flashing lights right from the start, violence and blood, foul language. Needle thingie to Bee's neck and a weird finger-stick dealiebob that isn't a needle but it does come out so??? Eventual memory loss. Horrible, disgusting, gooey death. Discussion of dead parents. Neglectful and hurtful parents. On-screen vomit.)) SpecsToday at 8:15 PM The dragon salutes Soundwave and continues her task. "Yes, sir." Honestly, she's perfectly happy with not bridging out and back again- makes it easier to put everything that Sludge didn't take in its proper place and find somewhere near Soundwave to perch. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:16 PM Oh but see, Windchill is a lot of person to fit into such a small body. It's borderline impossible. He's going to do it. Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 8:16 PM [bleps at snek from the ooc area; not in rabbit] percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:16 PM Maybe if they climb on top of each other and give a boost... Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:16 PM Swoop comes to a stop in the middle of the floor, then scoots himself over to sit by Sludge's legs. Once settled, he notices a vaguely cowboy shaped thing in his peripheral vision. "Rebel!" Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:17 PM "Evening, Soundwave! I hope you haven't missed me too much while I've been away." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:17 PM "Swoop!" There he is! She's gonna bounce over to see what's up. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:17 PM Swoop holds up one of his legs so Rebel can see the bell on his ankle, a little pout making its way on his face. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:18 PM "Yer dressed all fancy." That's Rebel's take on it. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:18 PM Hold on. Someone's sitting on the floor? Like people who don't deserve actual seats? [[Are you both able to get on the chairs?]]

Aaaaaaand he knows that voice. He's gonna just. Shrink into Prowl a bit. SpecsToday at 8:18 PM ((lmaoooo swoop has a house arrest anklet)) Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:18 PM Don't mind him, he's scrambling in, late as ever, because things got busy. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:18 PM "Oh. One of our documentaries?" He'll try to focus a little more than he'd been planning to. percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:18 PM “Uh... not sure yet. I suppose I can try and then find out?” Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:18 PM Oh, himself! ... A handsome version of himself.

[[Yes. He does not know which timeline exactly, but it appears to be closer to yours than his.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:18 PM "Fancy?" He wiggles his leg to make it jingle. Is this what fancy is? Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:19 PM "Now this looks much more interesting than what I've heard you've been showing." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:19 PM [[How unfortunate.]] Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:19 PM "This fighting movie?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:19 PM He'll nod at Perceptor. Go on, then. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:19 PM OH, explosions. Yes, it's a fighting movie. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:19 PM "You got spurs, that jingle jangle jingle." Rebel sits down beside Swoop, tilting her head curiously. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:19 PM ((hello primus mun, i'm behind but hi)) Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:20 PM "Keehee! Me swoop not a cowboy! You Rebel a cowboy." percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:20 PM There is indeed an attempt. Depending on how tall the chair is. Can someone who is six feet plausibly climb it, time will tell. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:20 PM Windchill, meanwhile, has gotten exactly one leg over the seat. Halfway there. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:20 PM "......" yeah, no, he nearly pulled an about-face with that opening. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:20 PM He grunts with determination. SpecsToday at 8:20 PM ((holy fuck why does this cat have such awful poops ;_; )) Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 8:20 PM Guess what Blaster. Have a dragon on your shoulders. Is a fancy mechanical one now with floof. Mostly here to be a blepper and a snuggle buddy. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:20 PM Will find herself a seat somewhere, while being mindful of the smaller bots in the room. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:20 PM "You can still dress fancy." She nods sagely. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:20 PM There are chairs and couches of different sizes for different mechs. Rumbles to Windchills and all the Swoops inbetween. SpecsToday at 8:21 PM ((I'm trying to eat and she just commits an international crime)) Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 8:21 PM "Wait, what kind of gun is that? Is that a paint gun? Are there bot sized ones?" Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 8:21 PM [Gunna leave my nickname as this. I'm moral support for Blaster. XD] Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:21 PM ((HUSH YOU)) SpecsToday at 8:21 PM A fellow dragon! The floofer near Soundwave gives her fellow a churr of acknowledgement. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:21 PM [[Of course there are bot sized ones. We did have recreational activities before the war. Not that many were allowed to partake.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:21 PM Swoop pulls his legs up to his chest. "Me Swoop not feel fancy. Me Swoop feel like a baby." He tugs on the baby leash's harness to make his point. Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 8:22 PM Waves to Specs. Hoi! Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:22 PM If anyone thinks for a second that Windchill's going to not climb into an oversized chair for the hell of it, they're wrong. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:22 PM "Him Bumblebee hit them." Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:22 PM Elita pats Swoop fondly on the helm as she passes him. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:23 PM "I hate his HUD." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:23 PM [[Hm? What is wrong with it?]] SpecsToday at 8:23 PM Waves right back. Hoi! Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:23 PM "What is that?" She pokes at the harness. She's never seen a baby leash before, despite being in dire need of one. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:23 PM Swoop leans into the pats on reflex, then turns and blinks at her with wide optics. What was that for and how can it happen again? Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:23 PM For free and probably if he asks. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 8:24 PM "Paint guns were an activity? Can you paint with 'em? Do you think I could get one, Soundwave?" Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:24 PM He'll have to find that out later because Rebel's pokes draw his attention back. "It a BABY leash for babies." Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:24 PM "It's got that unnecessary grid all over it, his video feed is jerky—that might be an optic problem, though—and it automatically zooms in and out on things. It would give me a headache." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:24 PM "Oh." Rebel scratches her chin. "You don't look like a baby." Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 8:25 PM Blaster, find a place to sit so they can occupy most of your lap. The makuta wants it to play their switch. Guardians need an ass kicking and the world needs to be turned into a Katamari. If stressed, wont mind the squeezes or the use of the wings to block the screen. Can't do much about the noise. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:25 PM Swoop's armor fluffs up and his optics go wide. "YAH! Me Swoop SAY that! But Grimlock. Him Grimlock say You Swoop weak like a baby, you BABY LEASH until stop it." Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:25 PM Nope, whatever is on his shoulder is now in his arms, thanks to what is on screen. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:25 PM [[You will have to inquire with someone who owns and sells them. We do not have any here. The twins prefer more... dangerous games.]]

Oh. Yes, he could see how that would be a problem. He's accustomed to a few things popping in and out on his own, but definitely not this much. [[He remembers yours. It looked much cleaner.]] Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:26 PM Sludge rattles the leash. "You Swoop IS weak like baby! Lose to him Soundwave!" Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:26 PM :< Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 8:26 PM "I'll be sure to do that!" Smokescreen makes a note of it, before focusing on the fight. "Oh no." Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:26 PM "Only when I don't have much moving on it. It CAN get busier than his, but only when there's something worth tracking." Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:27 PM Yeah. No. Nope, nope, hiding his face now. SpecsToday at 8:27 PM Oh goddess. The dinobots are At It Again. She's got dibs on any fingers that go missing from this. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:27 PM He tenses. Neck needle. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:27 PM Rebel narrows an optic. "Who's Grimlock?" She's not going to comment on the fight. Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 8:27 PM Hurrah for big wings! Keeps their claws free to game. Also helps being nearly as long as Blaster was tall. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:27 PM "... What does your HUD look like?" Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:28 PM Don't worry Specs, Sludge and Swoop won't fight. Sludge is here specifically to keep Swoop from fighting. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:28 PM [[...His own?]] Just to be sure he knows who Prowl is talking to right now. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:28 PM Yes. percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:28 PM Wincing. That was a rough fight. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:28 PM Success. Windchill has made it into a chair. Now he can turn around, sit on his butt, and wiggle his toes. SpecsToday at 8:28 PM She's very worried. She is about the size of a fox and more flammable than expected. She really, really, really does not want them fighting. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:29 PM "Him Grimlock is Dinobot KING. Him in charge Us." Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 8:30 PM Smokescreen is bobbing along with the music, staring at the weird looking technology shown. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:30 PM Yeah, he's going to make his way to a seat, now that the movie has calmed down. percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:30 PM Okay, Percy has decided to go into a smaller chair. Not worth the fall risk. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 8:30 PM "That doesn't look like her Dad. Does she have two sires?" Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:30 PM "A monarchy is a little antiquated, don't you think?" She'll be right back, she's going to grab a snack. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:32 PM Swoop tries to follow Rebel. "Antiquate means --" Tries. He reaches the end of his slack and that's that. He's not moving an inch with Sludge on the other end of the line. Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 8:32 PM Bleps. Tail dragging on the floor while carried. Blaster get a good seat. And watch their game if the movie gets too intense. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:32 PM "Oh, this is a good song." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:33 PM "Means old." She thumbs over her shoulder at the dumpling dad creature, as an example, and looks over the snacks. Hmm. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:33 PM Good idea. He's gonna do just that. But, right now, all is good. So. He's just going to hold onto the dragon, and sit. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:33 PM Soundwave pauses to figure out the best way to share it without linking up or dragging Prowl into his head. Internal screenshot's probably easiest.

His screen flickers briefly, marking a disruption of the standard optic feed, and then he sends it. There are a few notes on proximity to the things and people in the room tucked into one corner, a progress bar on some upstairs upgrades in another, two tiny visual feeds of iacon in windows on another, and a short stack of wave forms in the fourth. The rest is mostly nice and clean, though unusual noises going on around him spark strange, curved lines and circles now and then as he pinpoints and processes them. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:33 PM "Old and obsolete," Windchill finally speaks up, but only to define a word. Apparently. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:34 PM Swoop leans his full weight on the leash. He's standing at a 50 degree angle, arms swinging sadly. "Him Grimlock a T-Rex. Rex mean Him king. And! Him strongest Dinobot. So king." Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:34 PM Sludge mutters under his breath at that. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:34 PM [[Clumsy child.]] Huffs. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:35 PM Swoop looks over at Soundwave at the comment. He assumes it is about him and is confused.... Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 8:35 PM "Is... Is that Bee? Is she gonna steal Bee's parts? It seems like that happens an awful lot!" Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:35 PM "Him Bee full bees." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:35 PM [[...The human, Swoop. You were graceful enough when fighting, even on the ground.]] Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:35 PM Rebel picks out the most COLOURFUL snacks, and returns only to find Swoop looking mighty lopsided. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:36 PM Heh. Soundwave, always watching. Interesting to see that he apparently tracked moving sounds the way Prowl tracked moving sights. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 8:36 PM "Oh! I heard stories about Cliffjumper!" Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:36 PM Aw, Cliffjumper. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:36 PM "Oh. Kay!" : > Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 8:36 PM "Man, I wonder if I'll ever meet this Cliffjumper!" "... I guess not!" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:37 PM [[Oh, that is an old tape deck. Bumblebee's vehicle mode is very outdated by modern...]] Pause. [[He is beginning to think that Cliffjumpers have a poor survival record.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:37 PM He winces. A moment of silence for Cliffjumper. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:37 PM A slow squint at the screen. SpecsToday at 8:37 PM Wow. There's no such thing as a dampener for Smokescreen's optimism, is there? percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:37 PM ...makes a note to keep a close eye on his own Cliffjumper. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:38 PM Might be doing the same. Their track record is getting as bad as Prime's. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:38 PM Soundwave leans in toward Prowl again. [[Would you like to see something interesting.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:39 PM "I just did. But sure, show me another." Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:39 PM Can't keep an eye on her Cliffjumper as he's been dead, undead, and dead again for years. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:39 PM Swoop reaches out to Rebel with a sad, sad hand. "Me Swoop have 'chaperone' now...." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:39 PM He nods. Incoming ping; please accept and watch this stream he'll be providing. Don't worry; it won't take long. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:39 PM All right; stream streaming. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:40 PM Rebel will take that hand...and slap a treat into it. "For how long?" Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:40 PM ((I would flip shit if someone gave me that and it wasn't a gag gift.)) Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 8:40 PM "Primus- this dad makes me look like my foot has never been in my mouth!" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:40 PM [[Oh, leave her alone. She has the right to grieve.]] Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:41 PM ((I'd burn it, in front of him Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:41 PM //ghbg ironically my grandparents gave me chicken soup how to Be A Better Person book for christmas once in response to my depression Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:41 PM He's got the stream in one optic and the movie in the other; he grimaces spectacularly at the book. What a condescending twerp. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:41 PM Swoop looks at the treat. "Until not a baby weak bot anymore. Him Grimlock sparing lessons with Swoop." Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:41 PM ((light it RIGHT up "That was...I don't think 'tacky' covers it" Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:42 PM //im p sure they were Trying to be helpful but lmao Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:42 PM ((I want every single one of her outfits in this movie.)) Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:42 PM //same Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:42 PM "Uh, okay." She doesn't really know what that means. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:42 PM "Her Charlie clones." "Him Swoop off leash when him Swoop beat him Soundwave." Probably. He's not actually sure when Grimlck plans to take it off. SpecsToday at 8:43 PM "There's clueless docents, and then there's clueless docents." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:43 PM Swoop's head snaps over to look at Sludge. Did Grimlock tell him that? Are those the rules? Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:43 PM At that, Rebel doesn't look convinced. "That's a dumb idea." Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:43 PM He blinks back. Don't trust him Swoop, he has no idea. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:44 PM Well. Well done, Soundwave, now Swoop has a new motive to bring even more violence to movie nights. SpecsToday at 8:45 PM The dragon is flattening out like a pancake even as her fur starts puffing up again. Please. Please, no fighting, and definitely no fire. Her blood has methanol in it. Don't set her on fire. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:46 PM "I don't think I'll ever understand human caregiving practices. Why even care for your offspring this long if you're not going to bother learning anything about them or teach them anything worth listening to?" Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:47 PM Windchill's ears perk up. Beeblebum sounds almost like his own spawn. Almost. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:48 PM "Because they're incapable of hunting and foraging for themselves until they reach a certain age. They might be horrible teachers, but they're still necessary for providing fuel." Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:48 PM "Wasn't she at a fuel place earlier?" Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 8:48 PM Primus, Smokescreen can't stop staring at that Bumblebee, "How are his optics so big?" SpecsToday at 8:49 PM "I'm more confused about why they take the time to obtain a docent certification if they don't even want to deal with hatchlings in the first place. That seems like a necessary prerequisite for the job." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:49 PM At first, Prowl will be able to see the room through Soundwave's optics, with the HUD still present over it. Then Soundwave temporarily deactivates his optics, switching the data stream to visor output only. The number of bouncing lines and circles increases as he focuses extra attention on the noises in the room; names, materials, and other tidbits of information crop up next to where the circles briefly settle and throb. Safe pathway lines toward the video wall paint themselves a light red and step counts chart themselves across the blackness.

The he kills the stream and goes back to watching the movie like normal.

[[We rarely had difficulty navigating or deploying underground or in the dark.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:49 PM "From the size of her, she's on the verge of being able to provide for herself. At the beginning of the movie she and her parental unit were clearly of different opinions as to whether or not she was able to fuel herself yet." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:50 PM Swoop plops down on his butt and kicks his legs out in front of himself. "keheh! EXPLODE!" Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:50 PM Back to hiding. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:50 PM Sludge is bouncing on the couch now. "Them Decepticons on fire." Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:51 PM Prowl blinks several times, trying to make sense of the mess of lines. He intellectually understands that those are sound waves, but to him the data is just barely on this side of gibberish. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:51 PM [[...That is not an unattractive alt mode.]] Now that he can see Shatter driving. [[THAT was an unattractive death.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:51 PM Prowl claps a hand over his mouth so he doesn't laugh at the death. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:51 PM Swoop squeals with laughter at the dude exploding into nickelodeon gak. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:51 PM Sludge has no compunctions about laughing. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:52 PM [[Ugh. Organic ooze everywhere. That is the exact opposite of a weapon he would have chosen to use.]] Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:52 PM "Hmm, well, I suppose. Humans are so... alien in ways that have nothing to do with what planet they come from." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:52 PM Windchill grunts. He's beginning to realize that sitting by himself (the high price of stubbornness,) is pretty boring. Time to climb back down from the chair. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:52 PM Swoop reaches out to touch his toes, folding in half and fanning out his wings. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:53 PM [[Primus below, he's WAVING.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:53 PM His shoulders shake. Bumblebee. Bumblebee, please. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:53 PM [[It is a good thing this happened before humans created better surveillance systems.]] Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:53 PM Yup. Things go pop when introduced to certain vibrations. Like that human. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 8:53 PM "Primus, he's like me when I got to Earth. I did this slag to a couple humans before!" Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:53 PM Laughs at poor, clueless Bumblebee. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:53 PM "Ehhhh!" Rebel ducks, but this puts her closer to the snacks in her hands, so she shoves one in her mouth. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:54 PM ((I love what a terrible liar Charlie is)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:54 PM [[Being a doctor has never stopped Ratchet from the occasional bout of overreaction.]] Glance to Elita. Perhaps he shouldn't have said that where she could hear. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:54 PM And there's Bumblebee about to give himself away. Because he wants to wave at his human friend. Primus. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:54 PM //i love she just??? lkeaves the moped? Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:54 PM "Him Ratchet do lots of yell." Swoop sounds pleased about that from his position as a floor sandwich. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:54 PM "There are different kinds of emergencies." Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:55 PM Why not? It's true. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:56 PM "That's....not hiding..." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:56 PM Aaaaand he's burying his face in his palms and shaking. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:56 PM "Occasional might be an understatement." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:56 PM [[The famous Autobot scout, Bumblebee.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:56 PM HUFF. "He's... His processor is more than a little rattled." "... Technically, it's second contact with an alien species." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:57 PM Windchill toddles across the floor to bother his spawn. Unfortunately, this means Swoop and possibly Sludge as well. This journey earns him an Eye from Rebel, but her mouth is full so she says nothing. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 8:57 PM "No one said he was a good scout. Just famous." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:57 PM ....Tiny tiny engine whir. He likes the blue one's, uh. Mmmmmouth? Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:57 PM "Them Decepticons lie." Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:57 PM Barks a laugh. "Peacekeepers." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 8:58 PM "No shit, Sherlock." Windchill forcibly wedges himself between Rebel and Swoop. He still has elbows, after all. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:58 PM [[This human in the eye-glasses is officially the biggest idiot in the documentary.]] Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:58 PM "Wow. Okay, are humans really this...um...I want to say slow, but that kinda doesn't cover it." percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 8:59 PM “Gullible.” Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:59 PM "And he's already 'friend Powell.' Because that's not 'Native Life Manipulation 101.'" Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:59 PM "Him human dumb." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:59 PM [[Not that most humans are much smarter, but he supposes they cannot all be his human.]] Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 8:59 PM Oh. Hey, look who noticed a familiar voice, finally. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 8:59 PM //rhg boob holographic Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:59 PM Swoop looks momentarily equal parts confused and offended by the elbowing. But then this starts to feel more like a pile so he's fine with it. Swoop just leans on Windchill. SpecsToday at 8:59 PM "He genuinely wants to believe that most life in the universe is better than his own species. It's a delusion." Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:00 PM "MOST humans are supremely distrustful of aliens. That one, I suspect, WANTS to meet friendly aliens badly enough that he's willing to—yes. Delude himself." Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:00 PM He's just going to...stiffen up, and pretend he didn't hear that voice. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:00 PM He can take it. His entire being has been compressed into this shape, so he's a little dense. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:00 PM Perk. Ravage! Look at him go. Look at him take on the Prime. Primus, but he's proud. [[Strange coloring. Impressive fangs, however.]] Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:01 PM "I like this Optimus." Mostly because he's pretty. SpecsToday at 9:01 PM Ravage! Excuse the dragon while she watches this with bated breath. All Ravages are cool, but is this one as cool as the Ravage she knows and makes tinsel fish for? Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:02 PM It is Ravage's opinion that none of his alternates could be. Close, but not quite. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:02 PM Swoop rests his chin on Windchill and looks sideways at Sludge. "Them Decepticons lie to Sludge. Not Swoop. No one try tricky stuff on Swoop. Just shoot." Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:02 PM "To be fair, if the Powell human had met Bumblebee instead of the so-called 'peacekeepers,' he would have been completely in the right and completely sensible while the humans pointing a hundred guns at his head would have been the idiots." Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:02 PM He huffs at Swoop. Quiet, you. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:02 PM Swoop stares at Sludge. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:02 PM Windchill grunts. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:03 PM He stares back. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:03 PM He keeps staring. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:03 PM He won't lose the staring competition. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:04 PM "You guys are weird." Rebel gets up for, you guessed it, more snacks. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:04 PM [[Hm. That is a fair point.]] Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:04 PM (( That's anachronistic, song came out in 1989 and yes, I am that person. )) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:04 PM He points. [][][]I understood that reference.[][][] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:04 PM Swoop would keep staring until the end of time.... but Rebel caught his attention and he looks over at her wandering off.

"Hello, darling. Are you enjoying yourself?" Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:09 PM //wow rude SpecsToday at 9:10 PM ((if there's a four-year age difference, it ain't two babies)) Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:10 PM Swoop freezes, looking up at Elita-1 with wide optics. The 'darling' has completely thrown him for a loop. What was he doing again? :V "Hi." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:11 PM And now he's trying to imagine Prowl as the fist-raising human. They're not alike. Bumblebee isn't either. It's entertaining. He smiles to himself. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:11 PM "Why didn't she use her own shirt instead of stealing his?" Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:11 PM "Her Charlie girl." Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:12 PM "So?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:12 PM [[She's too smart to risk it?]] Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:12 PM "Him Spike say im-prop-per girl take off shirt." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:12 PM ((I laughed so hard when I saw this scene the first time. So fucking funny.)) Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:12 PM "... She has two shirts, though." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:12 PM .............Whir. [[He didn't know they were both into communications.]] Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:13 PM "Oh, huh...That's...they set that up with human tech...." Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:13 PM "Im-prop-per." That's what Spike said Prowl, and he never specified if shirt numbers mattered. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:13 PM Amused chuckle at poor Swoop. If he's able to get close enough, she'll give him some helm skritches. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:13 PM Rebel watches Swoop's confused antics as she retakes her seat, while Windchill watches the snacks in her hands. His brain is working. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:13 PM Building all that in a day out of pathetic Earth materials from decades ago. Primus. They must know their stuff. And be very patient. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:14 PM "Okay, I'm impressed." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:14 PM Swoop looks at Elita-1's hand, then over his shoulder at Sludge, and back at Elita-1. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:14 PM "... Really?! Really. They meet an alien species, cooperate with the alien species, get a massive gift from the alien species, and make plans to murder every member of this alien species. Just—just like that." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:14 PM [[Hmph. Nobody tells him he's a genius. They merely whine about how strange it is to hear their own voice. Or someone else's.]] Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:15 PM He blinks at Swoop, then down at the leash. Okay. A little more room. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:15 PM [[Of course they do! Humans are equally capable of mass murder and violence. They always jump to slaughtering offworlders in other films. It is practically guaranteed that they will attempt to turn themselves into the dominant species.]] Pause. [[He sometimes finds it amusing that Autobots aligned with them.]] Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:16 PM He has a smaller fuel tank. That means it's a lot easier to fill it. Windchill reaches out with his creepy little hands (it's a stretch,) and snatches a snack out of Rebel's palm. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:17 PM ((biiiiiiiiitttchhhh)) Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:17 PM "I wonder why our Bumblebee never bothered learning to communicate like this? He certainly spent enough time on Earth."

He was perfectly understandable to the rest of us, and his companion understood him.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:17 PM Swoop immediately uses the extra slack to get as close to Elita-1 as possible. He reaches to grab her hand, then stops a hair's breath away, glancing at Soundwave. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:18 PM The snack disappears into Windchill's mouth. Rebel stares at him, both affronted and shocked. She's never seen her dad eat before, and it's the weirdest thing ever. Even weirder than Swoop. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:18 PM Also looks at Soundwave. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:18 PM ((pfff rebel)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:18 PM Soundwave glances over.

Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:19 PM Swoop looks expectantly up at Elita-1, hand still hovering over hers, and chirps. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 9:20 PM ((Shoot I'm sorry I only just remembered to change my name ;;)) Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:20 PM "Of course you can, Swoop." Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:20 PM Sludge is absolutely laughingn ow. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:20 PM Does Chill go for another? Yes. Does Rebel squawk in outrage? Also yes. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:21 PM Soundwave glances to Prowl. That was... an unexpected defense. That was a defense, wasn't it?

And now he feels weirdly sorry for Bumblebee. Not because of who he was, mind. Because of the other Autobots. They could've minded their company regardless of how HE'D behaved, if that was what had happened. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:21 PM ((Rebel needs to meet Bob so she can see some major eating)) Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:21 PM (( She does. I mean, she's seen Bluebottle. )) Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:21 PM Swoop smiles at Elita-1 and, without hesitation, takes her hand and places it on top of his helm. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:21 PM ...Affectionate ping. And a personal note to inquire whether that was the case, if Bumblebee is willing to tell him. percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 9:21 PM “So much for a disguise.” Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:21 PM Ping, ping. "... Were you the one who sent me that song?" He gestures at the screen. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:22 PM Facepalms. Bee. That was terrible. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:22 PM He shakes his head no. Plenty of other songs, but not that one. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:22 PM Windchill grabs as much as his fists can handle and darts away, plating fluffed to take refuge on the other side of Sludge. Rebel can't get him there. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:23 PM "Hm." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:23 PM [[Yes. That officer will have contacted someone, if he didn't convince himself he imagined it.]] Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:23 PM Considers Soundwave and Prowl's responses to her question. Both are good points, though it's certainly interesting to hear a Prowl say something that's clearly in Soundwave's defense. She skritches Swoop's helm absently and gives him another smile. Good points both of them. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:23 PM Rebel just blinks, staring around at the room at large in complete shock. She's never been stolen from before. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:23 PM [[Oh - no, you will not fit--]] Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:23 PM //i've seen the sound effects gif of the upcoming scene on tumblr and i laugh now every time i see it and remember his feet are just lawnmowers Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:24 PM (( Foley artist = dream job )) Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:24 PM "Ohhh, Bumblebee, no."

I wanna go into Jack's house!" percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 9:25 PM “Oh no.” Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:25 PM "Hff—!" Make that full-on shaking. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:25 PM Swoop leans into the scritches until he's looking at her sideways. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:25 PM [[If he didn't enjoy watching mechs make fools of themselves, he wouldn't be able to watch this.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:25 PM ... The shaking immediately stops when Bumblebee reveals his finger-needle. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:26 PM "Why is it green?" Rebel slowly recovers, popping another snack into her mouth. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:26 PM "Him Bee electrocuted!" Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:26 PM "BEE! Seriously?!" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:27 PM Glance. Prowl holding up? That looked more like some sort of fine manipulator than a needle to him, but Prowl had been set off by less obvious incarnations of sticks coming from hands in the past. It was possible. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:27 PM He's fine. He's just—not as entertained. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:27 PM "If it hadn't just aimed the Decepticons right at him, I'd find that more amusing." Will contently keep idly skritching Swoop until she's either bored with it or Swoop gets distracted by something. Whichever comes first. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:27 PM ... He DOES huff at the thumbs up. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:28 PM [[That is a moment when you would want your ally to be a Decepticon. We would be capable of building a convincing lie.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:28 PM "Decepticons call themselves 'Decept-icons' while they're trying to convince people they're trustworthy." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:29 PM "It works." Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:29 PM "It is right in the name and yet so many of their allies never seem to notice." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:29 PM Soundwave blips. [[It wasn't HIS idea for a faction name.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:29 PM ((Her mom has every right to be furious.... but she went way too far with that happy comment :x )) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:29 PM ((WAY too far)) Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:29 PM //yeeeep SpecsToday at 9:29 PM ((yeah)) Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:30 PM Swoop is content with idle skritching for some time. Eventually, his hands drift up to hold onto her wrist and arm. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:30 PM ((Yeah Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:30 PM "I'm not even saying the name is a bad idea, although it is. Just the fact that they SHARE IT. Choose a fake name! You can't even produce a fake name for potential short-term allies that you plan on killing and/or abandoning within a week?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:31 PM [[HE can. And would have. In that way, the two in the documentary are fools.]] [[She didn't run. She... was kidnap-jumped.]] Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:31 PM //i like how he says she ran as if she had any choice in bee grabbing her and running Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:31 PM That's fine. It's the arm that was replaced recently, so it looks nice and shiny compared to her well worn other limb resting up on the table. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:31 PM "I refuse to accept the assertion that the Decepticons are generally good at crafting lies if they don't even think to lie about a name that will convince their allies that they're probably going to lie." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:32 PM (( It implies, to me, that he doesn't see Bee as a real thinking individual. Still a weird way to write that line. )) Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:32 PM Swoop makes no move to escape but is pretty intently staring at her. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:32 PM //there's some interesting implications to me in their statements that the autobots are, specifically a rebellion, and bee is a traitor, tbh Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:32 PM [[Well, it would be better than not even TRYING to think of an alternative, whatever it was.]] Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:33 PM //Yeah. It's an interesting twist on the war we don't see very often. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:33 PM ((i'm more interested in the numbering system)) Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:34 PM //she told her mom at the beginning that hank gave her the car tbh, that's an easily disproven lie he's telling??? Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:34 PM ((I love the "Yeah, we know.")) Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:34 PM ((That "yeah we know" is one of the funniest parts of the movie imo)) ((There is tons of funny stuff but that is so definitive that I just lose it.)) Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:34 PM Well, the worst has happened. Chill's started eating and fuel's still available, so he's not going to stop. He'll go to the snack table all by himself. (( It gets me every time. )) Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:35 PM ((I like this 18-year-old mechanic/rocker girl's idea of gearing up for battle. pleather vest, fake combat boots, knife in a zip-up pocket.)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:35 PM [[Good. Use the family favorite to your advantage.]] Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:36 PM //I love her outfits so much Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:36 PM "Oh, he's been demoted from 'friend Powell' to 'human Powell.'" Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:36 PM Yeah, he's not looking at the screen again. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:36 PM [[He wonders if the human has noticed that.]] Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:37 PM Sludge is very avidly watching and taking notes for next time he fights with Grimlock. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:37 PM "NOW you realize that!?" Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:38 PM "Bless Shatter's spark, if she weren't a Decepticon, she might almost be likeable." Admires the ruthlessness, even if she thinks it's being focused in the wrong direction. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:38 PM [[For mechs with solid communications knowledge, they seem alarmingly unaware of the idea of private calls.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:38 PM "They were given no reason to 'realize' it before now. ... Besides, admittedly, the name." Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:38 PM //he's so bad at this i love it Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:38 PM ((I like that the inability to tell a good lie is apparently genetic)) Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:38 PM Rebel pointedly remains facing the opposite direction from Windchill's face-stuffing. She's just...going to watch the movie. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:39 PM "They probably thought he was going to continue to be complacent." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:39 PM She's going to watch the movie and pretend that she saw none of it. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:39 PM Swoop leeeeeeeans on his leash. He wants to move, Sludge. "Hi," he tries again. Look at him, Elita. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:39 PM [[He knows what the mother is feeling in that moment.]] Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:39 PM Sludge does not notice, Swoop. He's busy with the movie. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:39 PM "I'm going to make a wild guess: Rumble and Frenzy." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:39 PM [[So very, very well. And yes. Exactly.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:40 PM He focuses more fully on the movie. Oh no. Bumblebee. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:40 PM [[...By SHOOTING him?]] Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 9:40 PM Dangit, he's starting to tear up. This hurts, this really hurts. He's so close to his own Bee, seeing this Bee like this hurts. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:40 PM "It's a jump start, she's jumping his spark." He quietly reaches for Soundwave's hand. Please work. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:40 PM He'll get a little side-glance from her for his trouble. "Are you not enjoying the movie, Swoop?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:41 PM Soundwave takes the hand. And squeezes it when it looks like Bee is gone. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:41 PM "Movie?" Swoop looks genuinely puzzled. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:41 PM Quietly sighs in relief. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:41 PM Prowl's probably thinking of his own-- oh. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:41 PM "Him Bee undead now." Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:41 PM "Oh dear..." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:42 PM Windchill's head whips around at the word 'undead.' Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:42 PM [[No, no. He's regularly alive. There's no slobbering and clawing.]] Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:42 PM Motions to the screen with her free hand and smiles. "Movie." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:42 PM [[...Stunned, perhaps.]] Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:42 PM Oh, it's just Bumblebee. Not that exciting. Back to eating. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:42 PM "Him Bee was dead, not him Bee not dead. Him Bee undead." It's logic, Soundwave. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:43 PM [[You have to be a variety of alive that still qualifies as dead to be undead.]] Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:43 PM "Does that mean killing someone can be called unaliving them?" Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:43 PM ... It occurs to Prowl that he misses Bumblebee quite a lot. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:43 PM Swoop glances at the movie with minimal movement to avoid missing out on any skritches. "Oh." He looks back at her. "Me Swoop like You scratch better." Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:43 PM He huffs. Soundwave, you're clearly not following the logic. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:43 PM "She's...oh. On no...." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:43 PM Oh. Oh, that was a huge mistake. There's going to be blood. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:44 PM "It's only 'undead' if they stopped being dead AND didn't start being alive again. He started being alive again, so he's not undead." Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:44 PM "Well, then I suppose I can keep it up a little bit longer." Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:44 PM Not you too, Prowl. Doesn't anyone understand logic? Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:44 PM "Pretty sure it's still necromancy." He's almost done, nobody look. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:44 PM The place is filled with cameras. The building is always looking, Windchill. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:44 PM "Yah, do!" : > Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:44 PM When PROWL doesn't understand logic, there's no hope for anyone else. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:44 PM "Him Bee is not gun." SpecsToday at 9:45 PM ((I'm having trouble saying concious. I'm signing out now. love you all. )) Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:45 PM //nini Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:45 PM ((rest well!)) Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:45 PM ((g'night! Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:45 PM Goddammit, well, he's just going to live with the fact that there's video footage of him being ridiculously short and refueling, neither of which is normal. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:45 PM //night! Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:46 PM Maybe nobody will believe it when they see it. (( Good night! )) Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 9:46 PM "Soundwave, can I get a few drinks? This has been really good, but Primus, I've been worried about Bee. So much." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:46 PM [[...One on the house. Pay for any others.]] [[It was a valiant effort, human. If a foolish one.]] Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:47 PM "That...yikes..." making a note to keep watch on his Bumblebee too. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:47 PM [[Be grateful they did not run you over.]] Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 9:47 PM "Thank you, Soundwave! Have I ever told you how nice your visor is?" Smokescreen is running over to the bar, ready for the biggest cube he can get. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:49 PM ((freaking A+ playing with expectations)) ((go movie)) Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:49 PM ((that "you thought we were going to be all bayverse didn't you" moment)) Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:49 PM ((That was awesome Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:50 PM //ugh why did we have to see him puke, smh Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:50 PM What is that? Trick question: he doesn't care what it is. He wants one anyway. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:50 PM He's almost to a full tank. Will he know when to stop? Will he throw up? Pass out? All of those? Maybe. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:50 PM "Her Charlie trash." Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:50 PM ((that's a trashy move, bee)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:50 PM Please, let it not be throwing up. Soundwave would rather not have to clean a puddle off the floor. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 9:50 PM "Don't put her in the trash! She's treasure!" Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:50 PM Swoop looks over his shoulder at the slack-less leash and then puffs up his cheeks at Elita-1. This is the pits... Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:50 PM At least not until it's outside. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:51 PM There's not much left to give slack with Swoop. Such a shame. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:51 PM #FreeSwoop2019 Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:51 PM No, let him suffer. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:52 PM [[Hm, nice move.]] Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:53 PM Elita will just have to keep petting him to make up for him being trapped so close and yet so far away. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:53 PM "Me Swoop want to sit..." :< Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:54 PM Ooh, chain, hot. Not hot. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 9:54 PM "... I was gonna say "Primus I wish that were me" But I'm having second thoughts!" Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:54 PM ((I love his death. So damn dramatic. Beautiful.)) Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:54 PM "Oh....that ended that." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:54 PM This Bumblebee actually wouldn't have been too terrible in the Pits. Perhaps not vicious enough to -- oh. No, maybe vicious enough to last a few hundred thousand years. Probably not more than that, though. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:55 PM Okay, that's probably enough. Windchill grunts and turns back to the film, walking slowly back in Rebel's general direction looking both sated and totally dazed. He's going to lie down on the floor. Face first, no less. Rebel ignores him. Too weird. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:56 PM ...Well, at least if Windchill's going to be a minicon, he's going to be a well-fed one. Soundwave can't say that's a bad thing in his book. It'll keep Windchill going long enough to - hopefully - get back to normal. And the snacks are there to be snacked on. Good job, snacks. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:56 PM "Another night, Swoop. I'm sure I'll find the time to visit again." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:56 PM ((She is fuckin BRUTAL and I love it.)) Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:56 PM //my wife //my evil, evil wife Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:57 PM (( I love the choreography in this. Can actually see what's going on and it's good. )) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:57 PM Now, the Decepticon? He'd have liked to see more from them. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 9:57 PM "No he didn't" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:57 PM ((and CREATIVE)) Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:57 PM Oh, that was an impressive kick. Still. He's not going to miss her. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:57 PM Windchill grunts. Something dramatic is happening, but he doesn't care. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:58 PM Swoop is le sad. Look how sad he is Elita. So pitiful. They put him in a leash and put bells on him and now he can't even properly pile up for a movie because Sludge is aaaaaaaallll the way over theeeeeeeerrre. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 9:58 PM Sludge is starting to think he's bothering Elita, so he's going to reel Swoop in now. Quite literally. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:58 PM !!! Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:58 PM Suspicious lean. Is the human going to kiss him. Is that where this is going. Is this some kind of organic/bot love story. Figures an Autobot would get into that. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:59 PM Swoop gets yanked to the ground and sliiiiiiiiiides across the floor back to Sludge. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 9:59 PM Elita wonders that too. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 9:59 PM Rebel yelps. Windchill lies like a lump. No response. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 10:00 PM Oh. Well, guess she stopped petting Swoop because he got dragged off instead. Poor precious Dinobot. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:00 PM ((pictured here: smokescreen arriving after the darkmount battle)) Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 10:00 PM "Man, is THAT a mood." ((ASDCBZCX SAME THOUGHTS)) Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:00 PM ((omg)) Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 10:00 PM //lol Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:00 PM ((is rebel near sludge?)) Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:00 PM //completel with can you call my mom Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 10:01 PM ((poor smokes Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:01 PM (( Reasonably close, she's back where they were before. )) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:01 PM [[What, she's leaving him? Now? After all of that?]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 10:01 PM "He's a soldier and she can't always supply her own breakfast yet." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:01 PM As Swoop gets dragged back to his big brother, he pushes off just hard enough to slide near Rebel, wrapping his arms around her to take someone else on this ride with him. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 10:02 PM "No, no nononono- go with Bee! Bee his friend!" Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:02 PM "AAH!" She clutches her remaining snacks for DEAR LIFE and is dragged on her butt. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:02 PM Sludge reels Swoop in right up to his leg before he stops. There, now he can't bother Elita. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 10:02 PM "She's....kinda easily damaged." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:02 PM Frown. [[He supposes. But it would be safer to keep to one human than to risk exposing his secret to Primus knows how many more while navigating Earth.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:02 PM Swoop cackles and clings to Rebel like an oversized koala. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:03 PM "Yer scratching my butt paint!" Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:03 PM "kehehhehehh BUTT" Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:03 PM That gets Windchill to lift his head, blinking blearily but no less threatening...until he sees what's really going on. Oh, no matter. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 10:03 PM "Well, that was disappointing there at the end." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:03 PM She'll live. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:05 PM Without even thinking, Swoop nips at Rebel's shoulder. Just a regular, everyday dino-playwithme-nibble. But then his processor catches up with him and he looks over at Soundwave, still very much attached to Rebel. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:05 PM "You're going to have to clean your butt paint off of Soundwave's floor," Windchill drones from that very same floor. Can't just make messes. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:05 PM He's watching to see if she minds. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:06 PM Rebel just looks mildly offended and elbows him. The butt scrapes are worse. She's seen nastier bites besides. "Rude! What if I bite you, huh?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:06 PM [[Apologize, Swoop.]] Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 10:06 PM "Soundwave, is there more? I want more! I love this Bee. Can I meet him sometime? I bet we'd be friends." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:07 PM [[He could not find another historical film for this timeline. They may be trying to gather scraps of footage and prepare re-enactments.]] Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:07 PM Windchill grunts to see that this biting nonsense is about. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:07 PM "Me Sludge in charge of him Swoop, not you Soundwave." A hard squint at Soundwave, before he rattles the leash at Swoop. "You Swoop say sorry."

Because Sludge told you to, not because Soundwave did. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:07 PM Swoop's mouth is already open to keep this play fight rolling when Soundwave instructs him. He hunches his shoulders a little and squeezes Rebel closer. "Sorry." ((pff sludge)) Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:08 PM //sh he takes Grimlock's instructions to be in charge seriously Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:08 PM "Okay." She shrugs it off. "What about my butt?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:08 PM Soundwave's lip curls in response to Sludge, but he says nothing. Let the Dinobot think he's the authority figure here if it keeps him from starting his own fight. ((timer: 10:30)) Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:08 PM "It a butt." Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 10:08 PM Arches an eyebrow with interest at Swoop checking in with Soundwave again. Interesting development. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:08 PM She rolls her optics. "I know that!" Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 10:09 PM "Aww. Well- Soundwave, if you wanna come over sometime, I found a documentary from what I think is from a universe similar to ours!" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:09 PM [[Did you, now? He will consider it.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:09 PM "Keehee! Us can, UMM, paint iiiiitttt RED." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:09 PM Rebel gasps. "Like a baboon!" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:10 PM He does not normally like how wild the crowd gets when Smokescreen shows films, but... research is research. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:10 PM Swoop is just as delighted. "YAH! Kehehh! Monkey butt." Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 10:10 PM Glamces up. The movie ended already? Looks at Blaster, then sticks their green tongue at Smokescreen just because. Blep. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 10:10 PM "Yeah! But you know the Whirl from the boxierverses? He is apparently here as well." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:10 PM She glances over to see whether this is going to be allowed, but Windchill just blinks. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 10:10 PM "Or- he is related to someone the documentary focuses on?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:10 PM [[Of course he is. He WAS a Wrecker. ... Did you not have one?]] Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:10 PM "Yeeeeaaaaah!" She wasn't told no, so that's a go! Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 10:11 PM "Well, yeah- but I didn't know he was still online!" percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 10:11 PM Alllriiighty it is time to go home! "Thanks for the stream, Soundwave. See you all next time." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:11 PM Swoop pushes on Rebel's back to get her up onto her feet. "Let's DO IT!" percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 10:11 PM //aka mun is tired and has class at 8 tomorrow so must Sleep Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:11 PM //nini Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:11 PM "Right now?!" She hops to her feet. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:11 PM [[Garish paint, one optic, part of a--]] Mind the company. [[A close group?]]

Soundwave's attention zips over to Perceptor. [[You are welcome. Come again - and keep yourself safe.]] Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 10:11 PM ((g'night! percy (microscopicautobot)Today at 10:12 PM "I'll try the best that I can." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:12 PM Windchill rests his forehead on the floor. "What time is it?" Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:12 PM "YAH! Us Dinobots have red!" Swoop gestures to Sludge's much more substantial surface area. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 10:12 PM Also! Also! Soundwave, Soundwave, dance with me! Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:12 PM They do? Oh. They do. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:13 PM [[No, thank you. He is conserving energy at the moment. He has been rather busy lately, and would like to ensure that he has enough fuel for what may yet come.]] Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 10:13 PM Pats the dragon he's been holding. "Movie's done." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:13 PM "Okay!" She brushes off her butt, prepared for a painting. "Maybe we can do that right after!" Rebel side eyes the panda-coloured lump on the floor, not sure what to do about it. "Uh, well." Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 10:14 PM "Have a good time?" Looks up. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 10:14 PM "Oh, fair enough! I get that, I've been having a lot of busy nights, too." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:14 PM Once Rebel is up and about, Swoop gets his hands under himself so he can do a handspring up to his--HRK! That damn leash! Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 10:14 PM "Um....kinda? It wasn't bad, so, yeah?" Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:15 PM Sludge makes a startled noise and slackens the leash in response. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:15 PM Rebel points at Windchill's prone form. "Is he dead?" She moves to circle around him, not sure what to do yet. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:15 PM How did he say that with a straight f... a straight mou... how did he say that with an even tone of thought? Easy: Decepticons are good liars, even if they do have an odd aversion to making up a less obvious faction name. Even the ones that aren't anymore. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:16 PM Swoop makes his best I'm deeeead face at Sludge, complete with a lolled out tongue. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 10:16 PM ((Man this song just takes me back to the unicron eating game i made for a class last year dasbxcv)) Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:16 PM "Him Swoop dead."

Swoop isn't lying immobile on the floor in a food coma. "It's gettin' late and he's liable to..." she gestures with her hands. "POOF back to normal any time. That's what he said." She crab-walks around some more. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:17 PM "Me Sludge take you Swoop home now." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:17 PM [[He doesn't shoo out until shortly before. There are approximately seven minutes until then.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:18 PM Swoop makes no attempt to get up. He holds his arms up to Sludge and makes grabby hands. Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 10:18 PM "Depends on the type of annoying. Just being there he's bothersome." Laughs. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:18 PM "ME Sludge give you dead Swoop to him Grimlock." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:18 PM ...Although for Prowl's sake, perhaps he should. [[But he welcomes anyone who would like to give him extra time to rearrange the furniture to move toward their own homes.]] Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:18 PM "Iffn' I pick him up now he might get big and crush me. If I don't he'll get big and I won't be able to move 'im." She grunts. A dilemma. "Swoop!" Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 10:19 PM "I can help arrange the furniture." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:19 PM "Kay." Swoop is all grins. "Bring Her Rebel too. For butt paint!" Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 10:19 PM "Oh, no, sorry Soundwave. Just worried that Har might rile the twins up...again" Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:19 PM Oh, he wants to be lifted? Okay. Sludge scoops him up without argument, turning to the door before peering back at Windchill and Rebel. "Me Sludge carry him Windchill too." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:19 PM [[A problem indeed.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:19 PM "You Sludge big." Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 10:19 PM "Least you're not bridge locked anymore." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:19 PM Does Soundwave trust Sludge to hoist Windchill up without causing harm? Does Windchill even want to be carried? Suspicious watch. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 10:20 PM "Hush, you." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:20 PM She squints, eyeing Sludge up and down. "He might get big." "Real big." Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 10:20 PM Cackles. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:20 PM "Me Sludge biggest." Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:20 PM "Pfft. You Sludge don't know shit." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:20 PM [[He appreciates your offer, Prowl. Thank you for volunteering.]] Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:21 PM A squint, before he looks around. "Him Soundwave place too small. Me Sludge outside, dinobot. Then you see me Sludge big. You ride Me Sludge home." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:21 PM Soundwave is mildly offended by that statement. He regularly has SHUTTLES in here, sir. Do you know how big they get in some verses? Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 10:21 PM "I should probably head off, but do you need any help cleaning up, Soundwave? Or I could play some recorder for you?" Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:21 PM Swoop's mood immediately lightens. Riding a brontosaurus around is a great time and he is here for it. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:21 PM "I can drive my own self!" She reaches down, cautiously grabbing one of Windchill's comatose baby feet. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 10:21 PM "Right...I think it's time to head home...." Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:22 PM He's been told time and again by Ratchet that he is Too Big for all buildings Soundwave. As far as he is concerned, all buildings are too small. Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 10:22 PM Unicron was here once. A gaseousdragon, but still! Beeeeeeg! "Do I get to be carried?" Grins at Blaster. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:22 PM "You Rebel come up here! It fun on Sludge back. Him BIG." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:22 PM [[He will not need additional help cleaning up. You may send him a recorder... recording, on your own time. It will be easier to file that way.]] Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:22 PM Sludge is already heading outside, ready to transform. And swap the leash to his mouth before Swoop can escape. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 10:22 PM At least a few seats are already freed up. Without moving, Prowl opens bridges under them to neatly drop them in their appropriate spots. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:23 PM ... Damn. Blaster (boomtanknotboombox)Today at 10:23 PM "Sure, why not? C'mon." up now, he's heading out. "Good night!" Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 10:23 PM "Aww, fair enough. But I could play recorder to this! I think!" Smokescreen's already getting the recorder ready, "Actually, Swoop, have you ever heard of a recorder? I bet you'd love it!" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:23 PM He somehow manages to keep his mouth in a straight, flat line when he sees the leash dangling from Sludge's mouth. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:23 PM The important thing here, Soundwave, is that he still has a hold on Swoop. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:23 PM [[Five minutes until closing time.]] Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:24 PM If she drags the bastard out by his feet, there's less chance of being spontaneously crushed. That's her plan, she's going for it. Rebel's going to cautiously back her scraped butt towards the door to drag Windchill out. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:24 PM "Me Sludge leaving now. You Rebel come or go?" Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:24 PM Swoop can't answer you, Smokescreen. He's too busy being connected to a brontosaurus that's walking into the sunset. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:24 PM "I'm coming." Slowly. Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 10:24 PM "Whee~! Night Smokey, Prowl, Slendy." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:24 PM He'll get to putting the snacks away. Better not leave them out and accidentally encourage someone to stay. Windchill might pop. Tzeentch [EmotionalSupport]Today at 10:24 PM And night others too! Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:24 PM He might. Smokescreen (Ask-Smokescreen)Today at 10:24 PM "Aww, night night!" Fair enough! Smokescreen will do a few doots on his recorder as he finally starts to head home. He'll definitely teach Swoop one day! Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:24 PM [[Goodnight, other dragon.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 10:24 PM "Evening." Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 10:25 PM "Well, this has been fun." Will stand and push her own chair back into place. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:25 PM [[For you.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 10:25 PM And a couple more chairs are bridged back into place. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:25 PM Personally, he spent the whole night wondering if she was going to try to convince everyone of Miko's old rumor. Bad enough what his own world's Prowl told him. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:26 PM Close enough. "Okay, watch it!" Rebel scoops Windchill up and chucks him out the door before he can spontaneously change size and kill anyone. "Now I can go!" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:26 PM ...He's so close to saying something. On the other hand, Windchill's her surrogate creator. Windchill can probably say something. Still. He doesn't exactly like it, and that's that for the record. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:27 PM Chill is outside, that's the beginning and the end of her problems. He can get home on his own when he wakes up or whatever is going on. She has dinosaurs to ride and butts to paint. Sludge (slvdge)Today at 10:27 PM And off Sludge goes with his cargo. Goodnight. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 10:28 PM is cargo Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:28 PM And they ride off into the sunset. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Today at 10:28 PM "You seemed to be enjoying yourself just fine on the couch, Soundwave."

Nah, that's something of a overused joke and not really good for teasing him with considering how long it's been since they last spoke. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:29 PM Now what's that supposed to mean. [[He was. Thank you.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 10:29 PM Should hope he was. Windchill + Rebel (chillintel)Today at 10:30 PM (( Whoops closed discord and forgot to leave GOODNIGHT ALL )) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:30 PM ((LOL it happens. night!)) Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Yesterday at 10:31 PM She bows slightly at the shoulders. "You're welcome. Enjoy the rest of your evening, Soundwave. Prowl." And out she goes with a wave to them both. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 10:31 PM [[He intends to, yes.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 10:31 PM "Evening..." What is Tall, Pink, and Handsome's name. "Evening." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 10:31 PM @P: [[Elita-1.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 10:31 PM "Elite One." Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Yesterday at 10:32 PM //lol prowl Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 10:32 PM Soundwave's going to stand near the door until he can't even hear her footsteps anymore. She'd better move quickly, or she's going to get subjected to the randomization function on the bridge. He likes that function. It's entertaining. Elita-1 (BeautyandtheBadge)Yesterday at 10:34 PM She can drive plenty fast despite her size thank you very much. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 10:34 PM Look at Soundwave, all the way over by the door. Prowl's half tempted to bridge Soundwave directly into Prowl's lap. That seems like the kind of spontaneous romantic gesture that normal people make. However. ... It also seems extremely rude. How do normal people tolerate each other? ... Maybe if he warns him first. "Brace yourself." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 10:35 PM Soundwave twists partway to look back, locking the door. [[Hmm?]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 10:35 PM Bridge. The exit bridge is even at a slight tilt so that he lands on Prowl butt-first instead of feet-first. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 10:41 PM Soundwave gets the notification from the bridge just before the ground disappears under him and tries to claw at the door for support, confused enough by the seeming betrayal to draw in an audible deep breath. Suddenly, he regrets their being smooth glass with no handles whatsoever.

At least until he comes out the other side and lands on Prowl's lap with a quiet grunt. It takes him half a second to make sense of where he is, and twice that to decide he rather liked the move. He stretches backward, pulling his spines into the pack, and tilts his helm back, whirring. Hello~ [[He appreciates your creativity with bridges.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 10:42 PM The gasp and the clawing are a very bad sign, but Soundwave seems accepting enough of the whole thing on the other side of the bridge. Still not sure if that was okay to do. "Good move or bad m—? Okay. Good." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 10:43 PM [[Startling. He is unaccustomed to being the one being dropped through a portal. But not bad. Impressive. And much faster than walking.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 10:44 PM "Good! I'm glad it was well-received." And with that established, he's tugging Soundwave into a kiss. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 10:48 PM Soundwave is more than willing to be tugged, and lifts his arms to try lacing his fingers behind Prowl's back in the hope of keeping Prowl locked into the kiss a bit longer than he otherwise might've been. He's been waiting for this since before the movie, and does he ever want it. He's NEVER heard Prowl stay at a steady rumble like that before; it's been killing him with curiosity. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 10:55 PM Oh, rest assured, Prowl plans to remain locked in that kiss for a nice solid length of time. Nipping Soundwave's lip, trailing a few stray kisses around the edge of his face beyond the corners of his mouth, teasing his teeth with the tip of his tongue. He passed "thirsty" some time ago and at this point could better be described as "ravenous." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:08 PM That's - he can feel that. That's Prowl's tongue. Prowl hasn't licked him since--!

Soundwave has no idea what's gotten into the mech, but he's grateful it has. He pulls the half-visor off and gently tosses it to the nearest table, wanting to see this with his own optics. A series of tiny clicks and just enough of a pull back to make room and his mandibles spread open wide to tap against Prowl's lips. Two catch at the bottom one and hold it still long enough for his pincers to take control.

He's going to shift and twist around on Prowl's lap, wanting to be face-to-face but unwilling to break the kiss. These are his lips now. He's keeping them to himself all night - or at least until he finds better places to put his mouth. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:12 PM Prowl's lips are Soundwave's to keep. He pauses, for just a moment—optics bright but half-lidded, engine roaring, lips parted with Soundwave's mandibles tugging at the lower one—and then he dives back in. These are HIS pincers now. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:18 PM Prowl is welcome to them. Soundwave's busy being all hands and feelers. Two slide up Prowl's arms, seeking gaps for fingers to sink into and grip; two coil around his knees, slowly snaking between them and beneath Soundwave, their tendrils ticking over the inside of Prowl's thighs.

A wild thought pops into Soundwave's head. Data. Everything's better with data.

[[He found the-]] Words. What are words. His are trying to leave. Come back here; he needs you. [[The blueprints for the station. Earlier.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:21 PM Oh—hands! Prowl almost forgot hands. His were wrapped around Soundwave's shoulder and lower back; but at the reminder that he could be USING them for something, he starts trailing them down Soundwave's sides, fingertips seeking lights.

"Uh-huh?" He strains against the coils to separate his knees a bit further, tilting his hips so the tendrils have easier access to his panel. «Show me. I want to see.» Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:36 PM When the hand leaves his back, Soundwave lets slip a wordless burst of almost-disappointment. He likes being held there, clutched close. It quickly drowns under a wave of fresh excitement when he feels the fingers moving over his sides. Prowl knows by now where Soundwave's own panel is - and if he's forgotten, the pulsing of the lights will be glad to remind him.

Are they getting ahead of themselves? He has no idea. He isn't inclined to care. The way Prowl's going, Soundwave doubts this is going to be a short one-and-done session. There's time for more tonight. Lots more.

Layer after layer of complex, footnote-laden construction plans peel off Soundwave's collection. Floor after floor, room after room, every screw and bolt and seam and plate and wire and button going toward that damned metal behemoth laid out in excruciatingly precise detail.

Soundwave's feelers are just as methodical in their investigation. The tendrils are thin, but the leads at their ends are thinner still, and slide just beneath the panel's edges to run themselves along its sides, offering the tiniest of jolts while they search for a switch, a hinge, or some other blessed thing willing to grant them entry. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:46 PM Prowl moans into Soundwave's mouth as the data pours through, all hard lines and numbers, from the vast sweeping curve of the hull to the individual wires directed to each little switch. His fingers twitch with overeagerness as his fingertips, far blunter than Soundwave's tendrils, run along the edge of Soundwave's panel; open up, let him in.

He's had the plans only a few seconds before he pings Soundwave back, smugly, with one layer and one spot on it circled in a neat red line. «Weak spot.»

His panel snaps open, crackling with electricity as it drags under Soundwave's leads. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 12:07 AM The sound immediately becomes one of the highlights of Soundwave's collection. He'll develop a habit of playing it back to himself on future nights, biting his own arm to keep from matching the noise. For now, it spurs him into biting Prowl instead, wishing more than anything he could draw energon - that he could actually taste something other than flavorless light, and always know that it belongs to his amica.

Something to look into when he's not focused on tracing the ridges in Prowl's throat cabling with his tongue.

He'd meant to tease Prowl, to keep his panel closed a while yet and see if he could make Prowl beg. The speed with which the neat red line appears completely spoils that plan. The panel pops open like a safe door at a burglar's convention, inviting Prowl to do as he pleases, and Soundwave doesn't bother trying to shut it.

He shivers and pulls to the side, meaning to knock Prowl down onto his back - all the more room for those tendrils to better angle themselves against Prowl's valve, twisting together as they rub upward and fanning out to trail over empty ports when they drift down again.

It's asking a little too much of his balance just then.

That's all right. The floor's nice too, and he can have just as much fun on his own back. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 12:12 AM With Soundwave's panel exposed, Prowl hooks one arm behind Soundwave's back to pull him close again; which means that when Soundwave topples, Prowl comes right along with him. He inhales sharply in surprise, then lets out a wheezy laugh. Having Soundwave pinned under him is a comparative rarity, but one he thinks he'll enjoy quite a bit for the moment. And Soundwave will have his turn on top soon enough.

Trailing staticky fingertips against Soundwave's port, rocking his hips against Soundwave's, Prowl crushes his lips to Soundwave's again.
