[CR] Sharing Space

Universe: Critical Role, Campaign Two, And Other Virtues series Characters: Caduceus/Fjord, The Mighty Nein Rated: K+ Description: Of all the weird shit the Mighty Nein has encountered, Caduceus and Fjord accidentally swapping bodies has got to take the cake. For FjorClay Week, Day Four, Class Swap "It wasn't my fault this time," Fjord says. "Are you sure?" Beau asks, squinting up at Caduceus' body, only it has Fjord's familiar vocal patterns and not the steady drawl of Caduceus’. It's fucking weird, is what it is, Beau thinks. Caduceus has this nice, slow drawl, and to hear Fjord's cultured tones in Caduceus' voice is just weird. Plus, he stands all wrong. A bit hunched, awkward, like the armor doesn't fit right, but of course it does, because it's Caduceus' armor on Caduceus' body. It's the person inside the armor who doesn't fit right.

"It was my fault," Caduceus says, and that's less weird, his vocal pattern coming out of Fjord's mouth, because Fjord changes accents like some people change their underwear, so it's less disconcerting. He stands weird though. Cranes his neck like he's trying to see over their heads, not that Fjord is short, but well, when you're used to seeing the world from a certain height, Beau supposes that it would be weird to be a foot shorter. "Wow," Jester says, her hands on her cheeks, her eyes darting between them. "Couples really do start to act alike, don't they? Caduceus, you should know better than to touch weird buttons." "To be fair, it’s not technically a button," Caduceus says, and he tugs on the bottom of Fjord's chestplate, making a face Beau has never seen Fjord make. It's fucking weird. Fjord's staring at his hands, wriggling his fingers, as if fascinated by them. Which he shouldn't be. It's not like he's never seen Caduceus' hands before. They've probably been all over his body and-- Nope. Beau's just gonna stop that line of thought right there. "How do we fix it?" Veth asks as she circles Fjord-inside-Caduceus and looks way, way up at him. "This isn't the way to get stronger, Fjord." "Shut up," Fjord-inside-Caduceus says, and his ears flick up and down in a way that’s a lot more animated than when Caduceus does it. "What did you touch?" Caleb walks a slow circle around both of them, fingers tracing symbols through the air before pulling out his spell book and flipping through it. "Nevermind. Be quiet and let me have a look." And by be quiet, he means keep on chattering while Caleb himself focuses and does his wizard thing. "It's Fjord. The real question is what he didn't touch," says Jester. "Hey!" Fjord-inside-Caduceus rears back, indignant, and his ears rear with him. "I already said this time I didn't do it, and even Deuces said he did. Stop blaming me." "It was probably that thing." Caduceus-inside-Fjord points to an object lying on the ground between them. Beau bends down to look at it, but Jester grabs her shoulder and yanks her back. "Don't touch it!" she says, sounding panicked. "What if you get body swapped, too, and then all three of you are mixed up! That would make kissing even more awkward for them." "That's fair," Beau says, and the object suddenly levitates itself into the air, except not on it's own because Veth stands nearby, concentrating. "Mage hand!" she sings, and as the object lifts, Beau realizes it's a coin, but it's not made of a metal she recognizes. Veth turns it slowly over and over, so they can see it from all sides. There are two faces -- one is a human and the other is some kind of monstrous thing with too many eyes and too much teeth. There's writing on it, too, but Beau can't read the language. She's guessing it's some kind of magic language. Probably a form of Draconic then. "Hey, Caleb, come look at this," Beau says. "Where did you get it, Caduceus?" Yasha asks, sounding the calmest of all of them. She tends to take this stuff in stride. The coin wobbles midair and then falls back to the ground. "Oops. Mage Hand only lasts for a minute," Veth says. "Maybe leave it there for now?" "Everybody back off." Caleb plops down in front of the coin, book in his lap. "I need ten minutes of quiet." He starts to trace his little circle around the coin, and well, that's that. Beau gestures everyone to give Caleb his space, and they kind of form a circle around him, too, so no random person interrupts Caleb's concentration. They’re standing in the middle of the street as it is, and people are flowing around them. If they don’t hurry, they’ll attract the attention of the Zhelezo. Caduceus-inside-Fjord scratches at his jaw, then winces when he realizes he cut himself on a talon. "Ow. You should trim these, Fjord." "I've been meaning to," Fjord-inside-Caduceus says. "Especially because... um. Never mind." Jester giggles. "Because it's safer for you if he does," she says. "You didn't answer Yasha's question," Beau points out as she starts to pace. She wants to do something and sometimes, it's torture waiting for Caleb to finish his ritual. "Where'd you get it?" "Oh!" Caduceus-inside-Fjord blinks and grins, and wow, that's a little creepy right there. "I found it at the Sea Floor's Bounty. She gave me a great price for it." Veth narrows her eyes. "How much?" "Does it matter?" Jester asks. "No offense, but Mr. Clay's concept of how much things cost is a little skewed. She probably ripped him off," Veth points out. "That's fair," says Caduceus-inside-Fjord. Caduceus and Fjord, standing next to each other in their swapped bodies, are giving Beau the willies. Because they aren't standing right, and they don't look right, but they're still doing that thing where they lean into each other, and exchange heated glances, and make it pretty damn obvious all they want to do is kiss. It's pretty gross. Not because, you know, of what they are. Just... Beau doesn't like being around all that lovey-dovey crap, and it's weird to see Fjord being so lovey-dovey, and they're kind of like her family, not that Beau has really seen her parents be lovey-dovey. Gah. Bad thoughts all around. "It's fine. Caleb can fix it," Veth says with a sense of certainty. "Or we could ask Essek, I suppose," says Yasha. "He could help." "Destroying things seems to work. We could try that," suggests Jester. "That might not be a good idea," says Caduceus-inside-Fjord, and well, that's at least not weird. Fjord is sometimes the voice of caution. "What if destroying it makes us stuck like this?" Fjord-inside-Caduceus makes an alarmed face, which goes back to weird because it's very rare for Caduceus to look alarmed unless they're in the middle of a battle that isn't going so well. "No destroying it! I don't want to be stuck like this. I mean, no offense, Deuces--" "None taken, Fjord. I like your body just fine, but I like it from the outside, not from the inside. I want to be me, not you," Caduceus says, and then they're looking at each other in that soppy way, and Beau fights the urge to gag. "But think of how kinky it could be," Jester says, and she's got her sketchbook out now, frantically scribbling down her thoughts in one of the pages. "I bet it'd be super weird to kiss like this. Why don't you try it?" "No," they say in impressive unison. Veth giggles. "You're right," Yasha says. "Couples do act alike." There's a snap as Caleb closes his book and sighs with an air of grievance. "Scheisse, it's amazing I can concentrate at all with the six of you chattering above me." "Were you able to complete your spell, Caleb?" Jester asks. Caleb tucks his book away and says, "I did," before he bends down and picks up the coin, slipping it into his pocket without a single hesitation. Nothing happens. "Good news is that we can pick it up right now with no ill effects," Caleb says, and that's definitely a smug smirk. He’s such a little shit sometimes. "And the same person can hold it without activating the magical properties." "All right. What about us?" Fjord-inside-Caduceus asks. "Yeah," Beau says. "What about them?" Caleb gives them all a look that faintly feels as if he's chastising them before he says, "The better news is that the effect only lasts for an hour. Unfortunately, it can't be ended prematurely." "Can we use it again though?" Jester asks, leaning in toward Caleb, and Beau can already see the ideas brimming inside that beautiful head of hers. Jester's no doubt imagining all the chaos she can wield with that coin. Caleb's smart enough to recognize that, too. "The magic has been expended today, but yes, it could be used again tomorrow." He pats the pocket where he'd tucked the coin, and leaves his hand over it. "I think I'll keep it. For further study." "Aw. But I want to look at it," Jester says. "I don't think that's a good idea," both Fjord and Caduceus say in an eerie unison which makes shivers crawl up Beau's spine. "Gross," she says. "Now it’s just getting creepy," Veth says, speaking for all of them. "Stop doing that." Fjord-inside-Caduceus harrumphs and folds his arms, which is such a non-Caduceus thing to do, it once again hits the realm of uncanny valley. "It's not like we did it on purpose." "It's an unexpected bonus," Caduceus-inside-Fjord says, and then his forehead crinkles, and he looks like he's thinking very hard. "Can you hear my thoughts? Does it work like that?" "No, it doesn't allow you to read thoughts," Caleb says with a sigh. He pinches the bridge of his nose. "There's nothing to be done but wait it out, which we can do elsewhere." Beau looks around. They are kind of blocking traffic and attracting stares. Then again, they'd do that anyway, given their colorful bunch. Still, Caleb has a point. "We could go to the beach," Jester says, and her eyes light up with excitement. "Let's do that!" "Water? No, thank you." Veth spins on a heel and starts off in the opposite direction. "I'm going to go back to Yeza and Luc instead. You guys have fun." She waves over her shoulder. "But we haven't even settled on the beach yet," Yasha says to Veth's departing back. Yeah, but Jester said it, and everyone knows if Jester wants to do it, everyone else will eventually agree as well. It's impossible to say no to her. Beau, in fact, had not even considered it. "I think we'll head back to the chateau, too," says Fjord-inside-Caduceus, sharing another glance with Caduceus-inside-Fjord. They haven't been together that long, but they've already got that secret glance thing down pat. "Wait this out." "Sure," Beau drawls, folding her arms. "A completely innocent wait in the privacy of your room. I'm sure that's all that's going to happen." Jester giggles. Caduceus-inside-Fjord looks confused. "What else would--" "Come on," Fjord-inside-Caduceus says, laying a hand on his own shoulder and spinning him in the direction Veth had gone. "If you get her started, the others will join in, and then I'll want to tear my ears off." "I feel like I'm missing something." "I'll explain later." Off they go, Caduceus-inside-Fjord with this weird, loping gait like he's trying to compensate for a height he no longer has, and Fjord-inside-Caduceus taking wobbly steps like the length of his legs makes it harder to gauge how to move. "What do you think they're really going to do?" Jester asks. "I haven't any interest in speculating," Caleb says, and turns to go the other direction, briefly looking up at the sun to orient himself. "Let's go to the beach, ja? That is what you wanted." "I'm fine with the beach," Yasha says. "Sure, why not." Beau shrugs. Jester cheers and off they go. At least, Beau hopes, the day can't get any weirder. ****

a/n: Feedback is absolutely welcome and appreciated! I’d love to hear from you!

New Boxyverse Footage

thenightetc 09:43 PM Hello hello!

highglossfinish 09:43 PM Hello there!

highglossfinish 09:43 PM Just waiting on our special guest to join us.

thenightetc 09:44 PM Special guest, eh? warwearymedic joined the party.

highglossfinish 09:44 PM Speak of the devil. thenightetc joined the party. warwearymedic joined the party. warwearymedic joined the party.

highglossfinish 09:45 PM Everything holding up?

warwearymedic 09:45 PM We've sorted out my connection, yes

thenightetc 09:45 PM Horribly, yes.

highglossfinish 09:46 PM Excellent.

highglossfinish 09:47 PM And off we go.

thenightetc 09:47 PM *settles in*

warwearymedic 09:49 PM What in the world am I looking at

highglossfinish 09:49 PM Looks to be the boxiest incarnation of the boxyverse yet.

warwearymedic 09:50 PM How are they moving with that much weight on their spinal struts

highglossfinish 09:50 PM I don't like their mouths.

thenightetc 09:50 PM My eye keeps sliding away from them.

warwearymedic 09:50 PM I'm trying very hard not to look

highglossfinish 09:51 PM Oh, to get Starscream's opinion on this one.

warwearymedic 09:51 PM I somehow think I can feel Bumblebee having a spark attack from here

thenightetc 09:52 PM Honestly, this seems like a great time for them to sneak off quietly.

thenightetc 09:52 PM Quietly, I said

warwearymedic 09:53 PM Nothing makes sense in the boxyverse, I've learned

highglossfinish 09:53 PM LIPS.

thenightetc 09:53 PM gah!

warwearymedic 09:53 PM I didn't need that

thenightetc 09:53 PM Everyone has such a poutuy mouth

thenightetc 09:53 PM *pouty

highglossfinish 09:54 PM That Megatron has absolutely appeared in a video somewhere in this world, sucking on someone's fingers.

thenightetc 09:54 PM Please, please don't link to it.

warwearymedic 09:55 PM Knock Out, this is an honest question. Do you think before you speak?

highglossfinish 09:55 PM I only say what we're all thinking.

warwearymedic 09:55 PM Are you referring to you and the scraplet on your shoulder, because I was certainly not thinking that

highglossfinish 09:57 PM That scraplet agrees with me, this Megatron's true calling is to look over his shoulder like he has a naughty little secret.

thenightetc 09:57 PM I'm distracted by the implication there was some kind of ramp that Optimus drove off of to come in like that

warwearymedic 10:05 PM Is that Red Alert?

highglossfinish 10:05 PM I'm pulling up old footage of Starscream after this, just to look at something aerodynamic.

thenightetc 10:05 PM Sounds like a plan!

highglossfinish 10:06 PM Dear sweet Unicron, does everyone in this universe speak and act like they're living in a cheap static vid?

highglossfinish 10:06 PM Especially their medic.

thenightetc 10:06 PM It's too early to judge, but... yes.

thenightetc 10:06 PM Absolutely.

highglossfinish 10:07 PM Typical Autobots.

warwearymedic 10:08 PM The first comment we've gotten that I've been asked to share: "Is that what I look like?"

highglossfinish 10:09 PM I mean comparatively speaking...

warwearymedic 10:09 PM Don't answer that

thenightetc 10:10 PM Hm.

thenightetc 10:12 PM Is that cloth?  Where did he get cloth?

thenightetc 10:12 PM *squints*

highglossfinish 10:12 PM It's going to get caught in his fans or seams.

warwearymedic 10:12 PM The same place he apparently got the audacity

thenightetc 10:13 PM This is going to go well.

thenightetc 10:13 PM Are those Decepticon logo chairs?

highglossfinish 10:13 PM Everyone take a good last look at Ultra Magnus.

warwearymedic 10:13 PM Oh, we've left the room, apparently

warwearymedic 10:14 PM I did not mean warwearymedic joined the party. thenightetc joined the party.

warwearymedic 10:14 PM I meant he's walked away from the console

thenightetc 10:15 PM Oh, that's MUCH clearer

thenightetc 10:15 PM Is that a giant portrait of Megatron--

highglossfinish 10:15 PM It always shows up clear as day on my end, I wish I knew why it does that.

thenightetc 10:17 PM it's a d20!

warwearymedic 10:17 PM What in the world is Shockwave holding

highglossfinish 10:18 PM I do like how he types with his blaster.

warwearymedic 10:19 PM I do not

thenightetc 10:20 PM I like how he kind of sounds like he's doing a Starscream impression

warwearymedic 10:22 PM Soundwave sounds like that voice sound on that social media application the medbay eradicons have been tormenting me with

highglossfinish 10:22 PM Optimus sounds like some bot off the street doing a very rough impression of Optimus.

highglossfinish 10:22 PM Our Optimus. Thebes joined the party.

warwearymedic 10:23 PM I've been avoiding that

Thebes 10:23 PM hello!

highglossfinish 10:23 PM Hello there!

thenightetc 10:23 PM Hello!  It's a whole new, unsettlingly boxy, universe.

highglossfinish 10:24 PM The boxes are thick and so are the lips. Thebes joined the party.

warwearymedic 10:25 PM I'm going to ask again, Knock Out, do you think before you speak

highglossfinish 10:25 PM Ahh, how I've missed having everyone together.

thenightetc 10:26 PM Yes, investigate the package.

Thebes joined the party.

highglossfinish 10:28 PM Everyone looks and sounds like everyone else.

Thebes 10:28 PM with varying levels of ANGRY1!1

warwearymedic 10:29 PM That sounded urgent

highglossfinish 10:29 PM You can tell the war's been harsh because everyone is mildly disgruntled and surly.

thenightetc 10:31 PM Megatron REALLY likes the self-portraits, huh.

warwearymedic 10:31 PM Why does "Spinster's" voice sound so familiar

highglossfinish 10:31 PM Ours absolutely hated having his picture taken.

highglossfinish 10:31 PM "Tell me or I'll give you such a pout!"

thenightetc 10:32 PM Tsk.

warwearymedic 10:32 PM Clear weather down there, is it?

highglossfinish 10:33 PM Oh, here we are!

warwearymedic 10:33 PM Oh is that what I look like?

highglossfinish 10:34 PM It's what the boxiestverse says you look like, so yes.

thenightetc 10:34 PM *leans back*

warwearymedic 10:34 PM This is jarring and I don't like it

warwearymedic 10:34 PM This is worse!

thenightetc 10:34 PM It is unsettling.

highglossfinish 10:35 PM On our Cybertron, they make you pay for this experience.

thenightetc 10:36 PM Ten dollars says he's dead soon.

highglossfinish 10:36 PM Ratchet, this you sounds like a younger Wheeljack.

warwearymedic 10:37 PM Saying that may be the worst thing you've ever done to me, and you've tried to cut my head off.

highglossfinish 10:37 PM Oh yes, I've definitely missed this.

highglossfinish 10:38 PM Oh, look who gets to go out and safely look up in the rain?

thenightetc 10:38 PM So is Megatron in charge of this Cybertron...?

warwearymedic 10:38 PM That's not very clear

Thebes 10:38 PM Are there any clear answers?

highglossfinish 10:40 PM /LIPS./ Thebes joined the party.

thenightetc 10:40 PM Look away from the lips.

warwearymedic 10:40 PM We can all see them. You don't need to point them out

highglossfinish 10:41 PM I can't look away. They're like a light show.

highglossfinish 10:41 PM Or a Seeker taking a dive into the ground.

thenightetc 10:42 PM He sound so shocked.

thenightetc 10:42 PM f

highglossfinish 10:42 PM F.

thenightetc 10:42 PM Those captions

warwearymedic 10:42 PM I looked away, what did I miss with the captions?

thenightetc 10:43 PM "[Jetfire panting] Lord Megatron..."

highglossfinish 10:43 PM Well, then!

warwearymedic 10:43 PM Ah

highglossfinish 10:44 PM Even Laserbeak is blunt and heavy.

highglossfinish 10:45 PM I never got to know our Skyfire, but if it's true that Starscream's found him, I hope they're getting along better than these two.

thenightetc 10:45 PM Yeah.

thenightetc 10:46 PM What *are* aerodynamics, anyway.

highglossfinish 10:47 PM None of that in this universe.

thenightetc 10:48 PM So he's... possessed?  Possessed by Beardy?

highglossfinish 10:52 PM How terrifying it must be to live in a universe where that's a thing that can happen.

thenightetc 10:55 PM Look at him, he's having fun.

Thebes 10:55 PM now what's going to ruin everything for him

warwearymedic 10:56 PM Historically? Everything

highglossfinish 10:56 PM Historically, everything, up to and including Starscream himself.

thenightetc 10:56 PM You're not wrong.

Thebes 10:56 PM yeah, but are we talking at once or domino effect resulting in a screeching tantrum that finishes the job

warwearymedic 10:56 PM Old. Alright.

thenightetc 10:57 PM "Hmmm.  Bold choice"

highglossfinish 10:58 PM I certainly hope nothing plants a great big Autobot insignia on that vast empty space on his chestplate.

thenightetc 10:58 PM Perish the thought.

highglossfinish 10:59 PM "Also, some organic grass is here too."

thenightetc 11:00 PM So it... tells the future??

warwearymedic 11:00 PM Can this divine projection only move one arm?

highglossfinish 11:00 PM Apparently.

highglossfinish 11:01 PM Did Prowl's voice just change completely?

warwearymedic 11:01 PM This Prowl sounds horribly inconsistent

thenightetc 11:01 PM What else is new.

warwearymedic 11:02 PM Just because you can walk through the screens does not mean you should

thenightetc 11:02 PM So is the code... magic?

thenightetc 11:02 PM Is there some reason it can't be copied?

highglossfinish 11:02 PM Absolutely none.

highglossfinish 11:02 PM "I have a virus."

highglossfinish 11:03 PM I thought he was just going to end it there.

thenightetc 11:03 PM Heh.

highglossfinish 11:05 PM "Not that?"

thenightetc 11:06 PM Honor.  Yeah.

thenightetc 11:06 PM Trion seems to have a problem with sticking things in people.

warwearymedic 11:06 PM I've figured out why they're so jarring to look at: their plating is so textured but their faces are so smooth

highglossfinish 11:06 PM It's very uncanny.

thenightetc 11:06 PM They all polish their faces every day.

highglossfinish 11:07 PM Then they gather around to caress each other's smooth, smooth faces, as all Autobots do.

thenightetc 11:07 PM :(

thenightetc 11:08 PM Need I remind you that the Decepticons' faces are equally smooth.

warwearymedic 11:08 PM It cost you zero credits to say that

highglossfinish 11:08 PM And yet, here we are.

highglossfinish 11:08 PM The best things in life are free.

warwearymedic 11:09 PM I should have said "not to say that" but I was just too stunned

highglossfinish 11:09 PM Speaking of which, alternate you is losing that "young Wheeljack" note and just slipping straight into Wheeljack.

thenightetc 11:10 PM Did he need to phrase it like that

highglossfinish 11:10 PM He did not.

Thebes 11:10 PM God those lips are... disturbing? I think disturbing's the right word

highglossfinish 11:10 PM Now, I must have missed something...why does Ultra Magnus have a deadly virus inside him?

warwearymedic 11:11 PM All of us on this end would also like the answer to that

warwearymedic 11:11 PM Ah, I forgot Praxus did that

thenightetc 11:12 PM Ugh.

highglossfinish 11:12 PM Was it war related? Or did he just pick it up in a bathhouse somewhere?

thenightetc 11:13 PM ...Oh boy!

thenightetc 11:13 PM Oh

thenightetc 11:13 PM Oh boy!  Stealing!

warwearymedic 11:14 PM I need you all to know that Leo murmured "a heist" very quietly under her breath and now she won't stop giggling

highglossfinish 11:14 PM Why are all Arcees save ours so ugly?

highglossfinish 11:14 PM Leo's there too?

thenightetc 11:14 PM One of those multiversal quirks, I'm sure.

warwearymedic 11:15 PM She's been popping in

thenightetc 11:16 PM Of all the things to happen, "Shockwave ties up Ultra Magnus's corpse and gives it a virus" wasn't one I expected.

highglossfinish 11:17 PM Concurred.

highglossfinish 11:17 PM Just let the storm have him.

thenightetc 11:17 PM Agreed.

warwearymedic 11:17 PM I can't say I disagree

thenightetc 11:18 PM Still, I guess Jetfire has something to prove.

highglossfinish 11:18 PM What's that little device again? I was busy commenting on Ultra Magnus and bathhouses.

warwearymedic 11:19 PM Which device, the core override?

thenightetc 11:19 PM The remote for the bomb in Jetfire's head.

highglossfinish 11:19 PM Charming.

thenightetc 11:19 PM Interesting logo.

warwearymedic 11:20 PM Fundamentally not how sparks work

highglossfinish 11:20 PM Nothing about the way this universe works is how anything works.

warwearymedic 11:21 PM But you would at least think they'd cover the basics

highglossfinish 11:22 PM A way to carry them out might have been a good idea.

thenightetc 11:22 PM What a great heist.

warwearymedic 11:23 PM How is she walking

highglossfinish 11:23 PM How are any of their hips not giving out under them?

thenightetc 11:24 PM :|

highglossfinish 11:24 PM Terrorcons. Ugh.

thenightetc 11:24 PM Oh good, saved by something unrelated to what they were doing.

highglossfinish 11:26 PM Goodbye, highly disposable member of our team.

warwearymedic 11:26 PM Ah, yes, Prowl, well-known to buy into myths and legends

thenightetc 11:27 PM So uh... is the presence of the Allspark responsible for the terrorcons?

thenightetc 11:27 PM Now roll it.

thenightetc 11:27 PM Please somebody roll it.

highglossfinish 11:27 PM "They just pulled off my arms and legs, which our species is built to survive. I'm fine...I'm not dead. Is anyone listening?" ~Moonracer.

thenightetc 11:29 PM Again, is this MAGIC code?

thenightetc 11:30 PM Are there backups somewhere?

warwearymedic 11:30 PM This Red Alert is not nearly paranoid enough to be Red Alert

highglossfinish 11:30 PM The same magic code that they apparently all injected when they split into political factions, just so they could have one more additional way to kill each other.

thenightetc 11:31 PM I guess Megatron doesn't join in on the face-polishing.  Has other things to do.

highglossfinish 11:31 PM He polishes his lips and nothing else.

thenightetc 11:31 PM Or does he have someone polish his lips FOR him?

highglossfinish 11:32 PM He puckers his lip components and chases everyone around the base for an hour and whoever's left standing gets polish duty for that day.

warwearymedic 11:33 PM Every time you speak it gets worse

thenightetc 11:33 PM Speaking from experience, eh?

highglossfinish 11:34 PM Our Megatron's mouth is violently incompatible with lips.

thenightetc 11:35 PM Polished until there was nothing left.

thenightetc 11:35 PM Sounds like one of those cautionary tales.

warwearymedic 11:35 PM Gladiators were either known for excessive attention to appearance, or almost aggressive lack thereof
