sorry idk why i keep going back to that fucking “is sabrina carpenter hot” poll filled with tumblr’s most ghoulish misogynistic high school bullies. it’s like looking at a car crash to me. but are all the people saying she’s had so much filler and surgery she looks like an uncanny valley doll… looking at the same sabrina carpenter? like don’t get me wrong i’m sure she’s had some work done because every celebrity has but to me this is literally like, 10% filler 40% natural aging from early to mid 20s and 50% people not understanding quite how much a different & heavier makeup routine can change your face 😭

Summary: The cliche is true - the more things change, the more they stay the same.  Stephanie and Steve had enjoyed their honeymoon, had spent time with family and friends, and enjoyed relative peace for the first time since their wedding.  The life of an Avenger is never quiet for long, and this new chapter of this life was no different.

A/N: This is why I love Tumblr.  So many of you took the time to reach out and tell me that you love my little story, my baby if you will, and that you will miss it when it ends.  Thanks, a lot.  i am so grateful to you for all the love and likes and reblogs. They mean so much.  I could not have done this without @MSEnglish101 encouraging me from the very first day.  She has been so wonderfully patient with me - helping me fly on my own and feeling confident to do so!  Thanks also to @HMarvels31 who is just the sweetest, kindest Bucky-obsessed Canadian I know (though she may be the only one I know, which is lucky in and of itself).  Enjoy and thanks again for being such great readers!! - Steph

The pre-trial conference was not a formality.  Your legal team explained that it was a way to introduce motions about things like excluding certain witnesses or pieces of evidence and also a venue for the judge to encourage settlement.  

“Whoa.  Settle?  That’s not a serious consideration, is it?” You stared at Julia, the attorney that you’d worked most closely with and with whom you had developed a friendly rapport.

“From a budgetary and legal standpoint, it is always a consideration.  Trials are expensive and require an excessive amount of time and human resources.  It is prudent to explore the option, but in this case, neither side is suggesting it.  The Webers want to be heard and we want to be able to use their own words against them.”

You had read up on the lead defense lawyer.  He was considered an up-and-coming legal genius that dominated courtrooms and charmed jurors.  Thankfully, your team, as well as the government lawyers, were beyond reproach and had been prepping with intensity for months.  Everyone was as ready as they could be.  You had confidence in their abilities and just wanted to get the show on the road.

Wil and Ellie had not seen each other since their arraignment, when they decided to be tried together.  Ellie’s fears for her brother’s well-being were justified when she saw him at the pre-trial conference.  Wil had lived the somewhat pampered life of an academic, a scientist, and a businessman.  He was his father’s favorite son, cherished by his mother, and protected by his stronger, more aggressive twin.  Jail had not been kind to him.  He was thin, with skin the color of an old yellowing t-shirt, and worst, lacking the confidence he always exuded.

She immediately slipped into German when they saw each other.

“What have they done to you, dearest?” She hugged him with a ferocity she rarely exhibited.  

He didn’t answer.  She cupped his cheek with her hand.

“This life is not for you, but we have a way out.  West sent me a message.”  That got him to raise his eyes with a glimmer of hope behind them.  She relayed her orders.

“How? You know we are not going to be found innocent, El.  We have nothing they need and we tried taking something that means everything to them.”  He bowed his head in resignation, and his sister slapped him.  Hard.  He responded with fury in his eyes.  That’s what she wanted.

“Barnes.  I am going to ask our lawyers to get in touch with Barnes.  He’s all kinds of devastated that this happened on his watch.  I’ll feed him the line he wants - a chance to right his wrong with me in exchange for what we want.”

Wil understood and didn’t try to convince his sister to change her mind.  “No matter what, he is not going to get me released, allow me to work with them.”

Ellie smiled.  Her brother was back.  “No, but I have an idea.”

_____________________________

The conference netted some excluded evidence on both sides, but nothing that Julia deemed critical to the case.  The week before the trial you began daily run-throughs with the lawyers on various parts of your testimony.  Each person had an area of specialty for which they were responsible and would take the lead.  You trusted each of them and, by now, felt like an expert witness.  Steve and Bucky were there, but it was Natasha you were the most thankful for.  She had been in charge of the CGS pharmaceuticals investigation from the beginning and played a significant role in establishing the chain of physical evidence against the Webers.  You were particularly touched when she took you out to lunch and refused to allow the men to join or other security to tag along.  Not one dissenting opinion was heard.

You were getting bigger every day, as your third trimester rolled along.  You were only 32 weeks - with the longest 8 to go until your due date.  Each of your daughters had attempted to hang out past their due dates, so unless something happened, you weren’t betting on an early delivery.  As you dug into your salad and sipped your water, you questioned Nat about her observations and solicited any advice she had to give, as you knew she wouldn’t sugarcoat it.  She had a few thoughts, but overall was pleased.  When your plates were cleared, she looked at you and smiled as she lightly placed a hand on your tummy.

“You’ve done well, Steph.  I’m not one for big emotional speeches, but I know it may have seemed like I was always coming down on the side opposite of your safety, I want to make sure you know why.”

You gently put your hand on hers.  “I do, Nat.  I didn’t at first, but I get it now.  Steve and Bucky explained it more than once.  They love you, and I know you only do things you feel are right.  We’re good.”

She pulled out another one of Tony’s credit cards (was he just handing those things out like Halloween candy?) and offered one more piece of advice before returning you to the conference room.  “Steph, don’t underestimate the Webers, particularly Ellie.  She’s going to do and say anything she can to save her brother and herself.  She’s going to try to take down Bucky, Steve, SHIELD, everyone - and don’t let anyone tell you that she can’t do it.”

_______________________________________

The first day of the trial you did a double take when Bucky arrived to escort you to the courthouse.  Steve was already there, as he wanted to personally review all the security protocols before allowing you in the building, so Bucky was on point for you.  You and Pepper had gone shopping for suitable outfits, given your ever-changing shape, settling on comfortable loose dresses with sweaters, if needed.  

“Sergeant Barnes? Is that you?”  You chuckled as he flipped you off.

“Yes, Mrs. Rogers, it’s me.  You’ve seen me spiffed up before, don’t start.”  

You took out your phone and snapped a pic of him scowling in his navy blue suit, white shirt and tie.  His hair was pulled back low on his neck and his stubble was as trim as you’d seen it.  Whoa.  Thank God you were taken or there’d be drooling.

“Ally is going to die over this.”  You sent it quickly and put the phone away, checking you had everything you needed for a day sitting in a courtroom.  It was predicted that you wouldn’t testify for at least a couple of days, depending on the length of opening statements and other miscellaneous issues.  

Bucky walked you downstairs and through the back entrance to the garage.  He was personally driving you each day, with at least two agents backing him up.  When you sat side-by-side in the front seat of the car, he put his hand on your knee.

“Ready, doll?”

You smiled and nodded. “As I’ll ever be.”

_______________________________

Ellie saw Stephanie as soon as she and Wil were escorted into the courtroom.  She was ecstatic that Barnes sat next to her, not even looking her way as the guards brought her and Wil to the table flanked by their lawyers.  During the pre-trial conference, after Wil agreed to her idea, she asked her lawyer to reach out and get a time for them to meet with the government, particularly with Barnes, suggesting she had information to share about a larger circle of criminal activity.  

Ellie’s request was denied, following a lack of hard evidence to back up her claims, but she knew that Barnes had received her message.  Now all she had to do is wait.  She knew that idiot would not give up any chance to destroy an offshoot of HYDRA, or to wipe the Webers off the face of the planet.

As the government started its opening statement, she could feel Barnes’ eyes on her.  Only at the end of the first day did she grant him the satisfaction of turning to look him in the eye.

_________________________________

The Winter Soldier was a master assassin.  If he wanted to take out Ellie Weber in a packed courtroom, he could and no one would know it was him.  Irregardless, when she walked into the courtroom, it wasn’t the Soldier’s cold, detached reaction that flooded his system.  No, the feelings all belong to James Buchanan Barnes, the kid from Brooklyn who protected a certain little guy, his sisters, and his Ma with everything he had.  Bucky Barnes knew he had to squash the white hot anger that threatened to boil over, for Steph’s sake.

What he could not keep under wraps was his curiosity.  Weber’s lawyer had approached him to set up a meeting, and upon approval from the government’s attorneys, it was going to happen after this first day of court.  He knew not to believe a word that bitch said, but if listening to her would protect his family or end The HIVE, he would do whatever was necessary.

“Mom, please, can we come?” You shook your head firmly, not inviting debate.  The girls had asked to talk to you alone in their suite, the night before your testimony began, and you had obliged.

“But Mom, listen.  We thought about what you said.  About being there and showing them they can kiss your behind?” You all laughed at Lizzie’s editing.   You nodded in agreement.  “We want to show them that, too.  We almost lost you, but we didn’t.  We want to show them that we are stronger, together.”

For a split-second you were tempted, but then thought about a million different variables, the biggest being that you would not be able to filter or censor anything they heard.  They would be present for a full and realistic accounting of every minute of your capture at the hands of people you, and they, had trusted.  You couldn’t put them through that.

“Girls, I hear you, but the answer is no.  I need to ask you to trust me and your Dad on this.  We decided that the things you could hear might cause you some real and possibly permanent trauma.  I could not live with myself if that happened because you wanted to support me.  I do have an idea though.”  You shared with them what would help you get through, and though they weren’t completely on board with not attending, the discussion ended amicably.

“Was it what you thought?” Bucky and Steve were waiting in your apartment while you talked with the girls in theirs.  The first days had gone well, according to people who would know, and now these men were making sure you felt safe and ready for your turn the next day.  

“Yes.  We talked it through, and they agreed to support me in other ways.”  Both girls were going to be with their father and step-mother with an expanded security detail during the duration of your testimony.  That is the only way you felt free to do what you needed to do.

“Good.  They don’t need to hear any of that shit, and I don’t want Weber eye-ballin’ them, not even a little.”  Bucky was calm, but talk of the girls and Weber breathing the same air was a very real trigger.  You and Steve each took one of his hands, and silently breathed deeply.  

Steve got up from the table and walked to the door, smiling at you as he turned his head.  

“C’mon.  Tony’s Pizza for dinner tonight!”  

“What? You’re letting me go to Brooklyn for dinner?”  You looked at your husband with wide, thankful eyes.  

He and Bucky smiled at each other as they opened the door to your suite.  Waiting in the hall were the Unholy Trinity - Maria, Jen, and Ally - and boxes and boxes of piping hot Tony’s Pizza.  You kissed both men and ran into the arms of three women who were as much family to you as your siblings and parents.  

Of course, Maria was the first to speak. “Steve said that you wouldn’t mind some non-legal, non-Avenger company tonight.  I thought you might be missing Tony’s almost as much as you missed us, so I stopped and got a few pies.  I also brought videos of the renovation and a punch list of things we’ll need to do to get it ready.” You might have squealed as you hugged her and asked FRIDAY to alert the girls to come over.

She smiled lovingly at your tears.  “You may thank me now.”  

That night as you and Steve lay in bed, you thanked him for being the best husband in the entire world.  “That was exactly what I needed tonight, love.  Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.  I knew the last thing you needed was to dwell on tomorrow.  I also got the distinct feeling that Bucky was really missing Ally, but he would have never left us to go see her, so….two birds and all.”

“You’re pretty smart, Cap, you know that?”

“In addition to being the best husband in the entire world? This is a night to remember.”  You both laughed as you kissed, his hand molding to your stomach where Baby Rogers was doing its best to keep you awake.  He scooted down and talked to the little one, and as you listened to his soothing deep voice, your eyes started to close.  

___________________________________

You were nervous but not panicked as you walked into the courthouse the next day.  You made sure to pee at least 100 times so you wouldn’t have to excuse yourself in front of the entire courtroom.  

“The government calls Stephanie Rogers to the stand.”  Now - panicked.

After the first questions you calmed down and got into the rhythm your lawyers drilled into you from day one.  You listened carefully, answered only what you were asked, and looked at the person asking the questions, as well as the jury.  After over an hour of questioning, the judge called for a recess and you took what felt like your first real breath of the day.  After coming back from, you guessed it, the bathroom, Steve brought you a snack and a glass of water in the antechamber near the main room.  

When the bailiff called you back in, you both stood and your husband looked you straight in the eye.  

“You got this.  Remember, Rogers don’t run.”  He kissed you hard and held your hand until you returned to the stand.

After your team was finished came the hard part - the defense team’s cross examination.  You breathed deeply, took a sip of water, and rubbed your stomach, as Baby Rogers chose that moment to play soccer in utero.  After the initial getting to know you chit-chat, fun time was over.

“Mrs. Rogers, why were you kidnapped in the first place? You do not hold a security clearance, you do not have any known value to the intelligence community, what possible reason would anyone have to take you?”

“You mean other than having neurologically-deviant thinking?” That was objected and the judge gave you a “don’t be a smartass” look.

“I do not know why I was kidnapped.”

“Can you offer your opinion?”  Your team did not object, so you did as you were asked.  You maintained a neutral expression and made eye contact with Steve.  He gave you an almost-imperceptible nod.

“Captain Steven Rogers was my boyfriend at the time of the first abduction and my husband at the time of the second.  He has all the things that I lack regarding value to the intelligence community, etc.  I surmised I was used as leverage to get something from him.  This was confirmed by both Agent Weber and her brother when they attempted to harvest somatic stem cells from my unborn child, in utero.”

The defense lawyer continued to fish around, with multiple attempts to get you to provide information.  Your legal team had prepared for the contingency that they might try to get you to talk about Erskine’s serum and had done significant prep in that area.  Thankfully, classified intel is protected from testimony in open court, and he was not successful.  

“Mrs. Rogers, how do we know you’re telling the truth?”  He was not ready for you.

“I believe that my eye-witness testimony, in conjunction with the material evidence produced by the prosecution, including fingerprints, conclusive IP address information for the streaming video ransom notes, collaborative testimony from Agent Romanoff, Captain Rogers, and Sergeant Barnes, and the ballistics and DNA evidence at both crime scenes are more than sufficient proof that my testimony is true.”  Fuck you, asshole.

Out of the corner of your eye, you saw Bucky smiling ear-to-ear and Steve fired up with pride.  You were pretty damn proud of yourself, too, if you must admit.

He continued to poke and prod, trying to deconstruct your testimony around the apartment break-in, your kidnapping and abduction across the US border, your injuries, and your eventual betrayal by Ellie Weber and attempt on your and your unborn child’s life.  You felt guilty you had ever complained about all the trial prep, because you had a calm and accurate answer for everything that idiot threw at you.

“How did I know Agent Weber was responsible for these acts?  She told me, while I was strapped down to a table and introduced to her brother who was inserting an IV into my arm.  I believe that the GPS tracker data on me from Mr. Stark, already entered into evidence, showed our approximate locations for the entire time in question.  She confessed - no - bragged about her plan to me, during the procedure, prior to the explosion.

“Last question, from your observation, were there any other people present at either abduction who were giving orders or directives to your captors, or to the Webers?”  Ahhhhh, first smart question of the day.

“Yes, I observed people who appeared to be conveying orders or directives to both Ellie and Wil Weber.”

“Are they present in the courtroom today?”

“I do not see them.”

“Were they taken into custody the day of the second abduction?”

“I would not know, I had lost consciousness following the amniocentesis and was rushed back to Stark Tower for emergency fetal medical care.”

Of course, he knew that.  Of course he wanted to introduce the idea that the Webers were not wholly responsible for what happened to you.  He opened the door just enough to get the death penalty off the table.

When you were dismissed, the judge adjourned for the day.  You returned to your seat to find only Steve.

Despite questioning where Bucky was, Steve would only allude to an appointment he had with the lawyers related to his portion of the case.  You were too tired to probe further.

___________________________________

Bucky waited in the conference room for the lawyers.  He felt calm, in control.  He played this scene in his mind often since Weber was taken into custody - what he would do, what he would say the first time he came face-to-face with her.   In preparation for this meeting, Steve and Nat reminded him of one thing - let the Soldier run the show.  There was no place in this meeting for Bucky Barnes’ love and emotion.

The room soon filled - a lawyer for each side, Ellie and Wil Weber, and Bucky.  He sat and waited, letting the Soldier’s face, his voice, his body language be the only things the others saw.  On the other side, Ellie thought she was in charge.  It irked her that she had to get approval from her lawyer before proposing her idea.

“We know you want West.  We know you want the HIVE.  We can give them to you.”

The Soldier’s dead stare bore into her, causing the merest blip in Ellie’s confidence.  She laid it out.  There was no room for coy negotiating tactics.

“West has used the genetic material from the Rogers fetus to identify the last element of Erskine’s serum,” she saw understanding around the table and continued “but he does not have a scientist that can successfully integrate it into what The HIVE already has - the imperfect formula that runs through your veins.”

The Soldier’s voice was barely audible, lacking all the vitality of James Barnes.  He leaned forward in his seat, his left hand sliding across the table, his eyes never leaving Wilhelm Weber’s.  

“You can create the serum using me, can’t you.”  

The scientist tried to remain unruffled, but he was much less accustomed to the muscle end of the business and quickly looked away.

That intense gaze turned towards Ellie.  “You want us to let him go back to West.”

With calculated intent, he stood up, knocking the chair to the floor while laying his metal hand on the table with just enough force to vibrate the large piece of solid-wood furniture.  The startle around the table confirmed that they were all paying attention.  

“No. There is no win for us in this.  If he doesn’t do it, you will both be murdered in a gruesome and vindictive way.  I don’t see a problem there.  If he goes back, The HIVE gets the serum and we’re fighting an army of super soldiers? THAT is a problem.”

Ellie knew she had to leap. Now. “Do you think I’m that stupid?”

It was Barnes’ emotions she saw when he turned towards her and sat back down.  She was jubilant that she had his attention.

“Wil needs to testify.  He needs to testify and he needs to talk about the serum, in open court.”  

The entire table erupted.  

“That is classified top secret.”

“There is no way Fury and the government are going to allow it.”

A chill went through the room when he started to laugh as Ellie finished speaking.  He understood her game before anyone else.  Bucky stood and walked out of the room.

As he left, he looked Ellie Weber in the eye.  “We’ll talk again tomorrow.”

_________________________________________

You put your feet up and moaned graphically when Steve started massaging them.  You looked down at him over the baby bump and smiled wearily.   He looked up and kissed your belly, then lifted you out of the chair to bring you to bed.  You didn’t say a word, letting him gently deposit you, help you out of your dress, and put on one of his t-shirts and your boy shorts.  34 weeks was upon you and you were starting the hard part of pregnancy - the “tired, can’t eat, always have to pee, get this kid out of me and feel extremely undesirable” part.  

“I am so proud of you, Steph.  You were astounding today.  I think anyone in attendance saw how you were in command the entire time.  It was sexy as hell.”

You laughed quietly and kissed his cheek.  “That’s the last word I would use to describe myself right now, but I do feel proud of how I handled everything.  Do you think I’m done testifying?”

He leaned beside you, rubbing your lower back, which hurt most of the time these days and kissing your neck.  “As you wrapped up, Julia thought today was it.  She even suggested taking tomorrow off to rest, in case you were called for rebuttal.  I’m going to make that an order, soldier.”  He laughed as he heard you talking nonsense and drift off to sleep.

You had no idea what time it was when you woke up, but quickly realized it was the middle of the night and Steve wasn’t in bed.  That wasn’t altogether unusual, and you didn’t think much of it while you trudged to the bathroom.  You laughed as you shuffled back to bed, feeling every bit of your age, with Baby Rogers dancing the tango directly on your sciatic nerve.  When you got back into bed, you stretched in an attempt to alleviate the shocks of pain running down your leg, and felt a new, noticeable, sharp pain in your abdomen.  Your first instinct was to lay back and breathe deeply - you were probably dehydrated and overtired.  As you closed your eyes and breathed in through your nose and out through your mouth, the pain came back again and you couldn’t help but cry out.

You called out for Steve, if he was in the apartment he would come running when he heard you yell.  No bueno.  You grabbed your phone and texted him.

Steph: Where are you??? I need you.

Steve: On my way.

A moment later he came into the bedroom and found you sitting up in bed, night table lamp on, and breathing rhythmically.   This was your favorite part about being married to Steve - he didn’t overreact, didn’t get flustered, just worked the problem, and the problem was to figure out what was going on with you.

“Do you think it’s labor?”  You shook your head and repeated your thoughts about dehydration and exhaustion.

“FRIDAY alert Bruce and Dr. Cho we’re meeting them in the med bay ASAP.”  You attempted to get up and put your robe on, but a pain struck just at that moment and you reached for his hand to squeeze.  For the second time that night, he picked you up and walked with purpose but without fear to the elevator.  When you walked out the door, Bucky was coming into the hall from his suite, clearly on his way to see if he could help.

In order to avoid 20 questions, you summed up what was going on and asked that he inform the agents outside the girls’ door not to say anything and you would talk to them later, if necessary.  You were trying to be quiet, but as usual weren’t successful, and several doors opened on the hallway, spewing out cranky, sleepy Avengers.  When they saw Steve’s back as he walked down the hall with you in his arms, Bucky explained and went to tell his agents what was up.  

“Bruce, Helen, I’m so sorry to wake you.  I told Steve it’s probably dehydration, but we agree you’re the best people to evaluate that.  Plus, he already had picked me up and started walking down the hall before I formulated a thought about whether to come here or not.”

After more than an hour of ultrasound, bloodwork, and monitoring, the 16 combined PhD’s and MD’s came to the same conclusion you did - round ligament pain resulting from your uterus stretching, dehydration, and exhaustion.  They put you on bed rest for at least 3 days, forbidding you to go to the courthouse or do much more than watch Netflix and go to the bathroom.

“But…” Your mind was revving - the renovations, the trial, the girls and on and on and on…..

Steve’s look was more stern than you’d seen in a very long time. “Listen, soldier.  The docs have put you on bed rest and you are going to follow that order to a T.  You’re going to do that, right?”  His expression softened as he held your hand and watched the comforting regular blips on the heart monitors for you and the baby.

“Yes, sir.  Bruce, Helen, can you please tell him that I am allowed to get up to go to the bathroom and to the kitchen? Maybe even walk to another room for a change of scenery?”  They gladly clarified that distances of 10-15 steps or less were fine, as long as you didn’t stand for too long.

After thanking them and returning to your suite, you laughed when you found Bucky sitting on your sofa when you walked in, a look of concern on his face.  After you were back in bed and sleeping, and both Super Soldiers convinced you were not going into labor, Bucky gestured Steve into the living room.

“We need to talk about my meeting with Weber and Weber today.  There might be something to what they’re proposing.”

Yuri on Ice ask meme

 I thought it would be fun to answer these ^-^

1.how did you find out about the show

This one is a little fuzzy but I’m pretty sure my best friend @evangelinedares showed me the trailer, I’d also been very into sports anime for a while

2.favorite episode and why

Everyone says episode 10 and I’d have to agree with the majority. Not only because of the amazing reveal of the banquet incident (completely changing the narrative altogether) the start of the episode is in Viktor’s pov which was very interesting because up until then (whiles he’s an amazingly well written character) he’s very hard to read so it was nice to here his inner thoughts about what was happening around him... and the “sleeping beauty” comment.

3.favorite character and why

This one was difficult as Yuuri and Phichit were my favorite characters instantly and they hold a special place for me. I’d have to say Yuuri Katsuki. Answering why will be hard hopefully it won’t get too long XD I just love how realistic his character is. I love how un-protag he is. The same archetype of loud, bumbling, loveable anime guy™  has been done to death. I also love that throughout the show we see so many sides of him, one surprise after another. The fact that from the first episode alone he mislead me to believe he wasn’t a big deal, that he wasn’t that good. Third episode in I realize “hey this guy competed in the Grand Prix?? and obviously seems like an important person in his town.” The way he fools you, shrinking his accomplishments is refreshing as a main character and makes him very relate able. I also think he represented how anxiety affects people’s life in a pretty accurate way.... anddd I was in love with his design from the start. Dark hair and glasses are my thing.   

4.least favorite character and why

I don’t think I can really answer this? I like them all in their own ways, but funny story I did not like Yuri Plisetsky at all in like the first 5 minutes he was properly introduced (sorry @evangelinedares XD) I thought, “man, what is this guy’s problem?” but he definitely grew on me once I understood his character.

5. favorite rare pair 

Mila and Sara. We don’t see much of them together (people ship them after seeing like one frame of them together.) I want to see them having a fun friendship (they would definitely be a cute couple though.)

6. favorite costume(s)

The eros costume really appeals to my darker aesthetic so naturally I fell for that one.

7. favorite short program

Yuuri Katsuki, On Love: Eros

8. favorite free skate

Yuri Plisetsky, Allegro Appassionato in B minor

9. favorite location

The onsen in Hasetsu (when is was snowing)

10. favorite victuuri moment

Two moments, Episode 7: Parking garage argument and Yuuri dropping his tissue, poking Viktor’s head and skating with a smile.

11. favorite line of dialogue

"Just have more faith than I do that I'll win..." jesus, this scene hit me hard, this part of the quote in particular really struck a chord with me. I understood it as, “I’m not very confident in myself but I can make up for it with you having confidence in me.” it’s a very vulnerable thing to say/admit.

12. favorite meta

it would take forever to find the post XD

13. best character development arc

Obvious answer would be Yuuri Katsuki because his changes are again very obvious throughout, I mean I argue that (It could be canon according to Kubo I have to find where I read it) Yuuri Katsuki did not change drastically, I feel like he just realized what was always in him, he’s always been talented, he’s always had confidence buried inside, he realizes people care about him, he’s always been good at putting himself back together. So, I would have to say my favorite arc is Yuri Plisetsky (funny because originally he was my least favorite character.) his evolution was beautiful to watch and I love how all the changes weren’t positive, yes he reached his full potential and won the Grand prix but we also see him say that halfway through his program he “blacked out” which is really not a good thing. I want to see who he grows into.

 14. who would you want to be rink mates with

Phichit <3

 15. who would you want to get turnt with

Chris?

 16. who would you want to be your coach

Minako Okukawa

17. which character are you most like

This one is tricky as I see myself in both Yuuri and Viktor, I go on and on about how much I love Yuuri but between the two I think I’m the most like Viktor. Most people who know me wouldn’t see it as I’m often described as “chill” by most people who know me and Viktor obviously has a fairly cheery disposition (when he’s with Yuuri). That’s one thing right there. I have one person in my life that gets to know other sides of me, it’s often said in canon “only Yuuri sees this cute side of Viktor.” Being lost when someone tells me they just want me to “be myself.” Feeling like I have to put on different personas to please different people. Feeling isolated/unsatisfied (indifferent) when people marvel at my achievements, losing interest in things you once loved. (common symptom of depression but lets not get too deep! moving on XD)

18. who do you think should have won the gpf 

Despite loving the fuck out of Yuuri Katsuki, I feel the results aligned perfectly with everyone’s arc. I read a wonderful meta that explained how Yuuri winning silver drove home the theme of how Yuuri learns about love. In the beginning Yuuri places all his self worth on winning gold and when he doesn’t he beats himself up hard. It’s a bit of a parallel to how the series stars, Yuuri failing the gpf so badly that he wants to retire and by the end making the podium (still not getting the gold he wants) but is stronger to keep going. It seems his self esteem went up a little by the end of the show.

19. what are you expecting/hoping will be in the movie

mannnn at this point I don’t ask for much I’ll gladly watch them mow a lawn for 2 hours but jokes aside I want to know Yuuri’s past how he grew up and same for viktor. VIKTOR’S FUCKING PAST, FAMILY, EDUCATION, ANYTHING THAT MAN IS SO MYSTERIOUS.

20. headcanon for what yuuri and Phichit majored in in university

Honestly never gave this much thought? Yuuri in dance, Phichit in some type of photography

21. headcanon for victor’s level of education

Firstly I’d like to say that I headcanon Viktor as being very intelligent. I don’t think he went to any kind of college/university. There are a lot of metas I’ve seen to back up that Viktor is a bookworm and I agree wholeheartedly. I also have an angsty headcanon that when he was young (like teens) he was shut down anytime he tried to talk about books, science (ect.) and was told that people just want him to be pretty and skate so he adopted this ditsy persona that people mistake for him being air headed. It bugs me when I read fics of people portraying him as this airhead that can’t cook, the trope-y hot dumb guy XD ugh it just bothers me.

22. favorite katsuki

If I’m bein honest, I’ve been lovin on Yuuri this whole post XD I fucking love Mari Katsuki, she doesn’t get enough love. She’s such a mood; smoking, deadpan, lowkey alternative older sister™

23. favorite russian skater

Viktor <3

24. headcanon for how vicchan died

I read a really amazing fic where they went to detail how Mari accidentally let go of the leash while walking Vicchan and he was hit by a car indirectly making it her fault. It adds a bit more depth to her cool persona she has.

25. what’s your eros

thicc girls with glasses and pixie cuts.

26. what’s your agape

@evangelinedares <3

27. were you already a fan of figure skating before watching the show (if not, have you become a fan now because of the show)

My Nana who passed a while ago would always watch it when I was young and I would watch with her and was a longtime fan (I was a big fan of Hanyu Yuzuru and Yulia Lipniskaya). Two years prior to the release of yoi I remember thinking “man I wish there was an anime about figure skating” and my prayers were answered XD 

28. do you own any merchandise (share pics!!)

29.favorite official yoi event so far (and share if you’ve been to any)

Didn’t attended but watched the Chihoko drama online it was glorious.

As I was leaving he asked if he could write something about me and he wrote a full 8 pages. Additionally, at our next con, I was super sick (we didn’t know until later I had mono) and almost fainted. He stayed with me the whole time, and, even though I told him it was possible I had mono, he risked it and still kissed me. 

I don’t blame him for not having feelings for me after that. I think we rushed in and were caught up in the obsession, which lasts about 4 months. I was sure of my emotions, and he wasn’t. It’s ok. We knew what we were getting ourselves into to an extent. We’re still distant friends, I think? No hard feelings.

[[MORE]]

1. A little-known talent of your OC?

Cynthia: One of her proficiencies that gets overlooked is her calligraphy skill. Most people around her see her merely as a lady of brawn, but the skills of keeping a still posture or collected composure in combat helped keep her hand steady while writing.

Sleet: I imagine Human!Sleet is great with a needle! She’ll knit some scarves for everyone when it gets chilly!

Morning: She hums quietly to herself every so often, hoping no one hears her. However, Lichen can hear her velvet voice.

2. What trait does your OC like best about themself? (Eyes, guitar skills, random bird facts, etc)

Cynthia: Definitely her swordsmanship.

Sleet: She appreciates that she’s able to remain kind when the world smacks her in the face.

Morning: Her aesthetics!

3. How many pillows does your OC sleep with?

Cynthia: what’s a pillow. maybe one pillow some nights but some nights her pillow is Nur.

Sleet: She insists that she wants to sleep with one. Slate gives her four.

Morning: She is a pillow princess! She has one of those pillows that you can draw on with the sequins.

4. Is your OC good at keeping secrets?

Cynthia: Yep!

Sleet: She is good at keeping secrets, but that’s because she most likely forgot it.

Morning: She can overshare a lot, and she’ll likely tell secrets if she thinks it’s something too important to not share.

5. Your OC’s worst habit?

Cynthia: Currently, she has a huge insomnia problem thanks to the recent events of the campaign. Also, she doesn’t even want to confront her trauma or anything, and that’s only going to make it worse for her later.

Sleet/Morning: Both of them have the same habit of trusting people too easily and being too kind to everyone. With Morning, she also has a habit of breaking into peer pressure.

6. Does your OC prefer tennis shoes/sneakers or flip flops?

All three of them prefer tennis shoes. This is also because flip flops are worthy of bane to me.

7. What is your OC’s opinion on body modifications?

Cynthia: She probably would modify herself if she could.

Sleet: As long as it’s not impacting one’s health, she’s fine with it!

Morning: She thinks it’s a waste of money.

8. Your OC is given a full-ride scholarship to any college they would want to go to. Where do they go and what do they major in?

Cynthia: She would probably study religion at a quiet college that has a swordsmanship or LARP club.

Sleet: “Any college you say?” Would be her first words. And then she’d research the hell out of medical colleges to find which one lands you a job the most.

Morning: Similar to Sleet, but says “fuck you” and picks the most expensive of the best.

9. What chores does your OC hate the most?

Cynthia: Anything that requires a serious amount of patience or time. She’s an active person, and she can get annoyed if she’s sitting in one spot for hours.

Sleet: She enjoys her chores except vacuuming because it’s loud. She’s overall a clean freak though.

Morning: Taking out the garbage.

10. Would your OC prefer to live in the city, the suburbs, or the country?

All of them would prefer the country! However, they would all have concurring opinions.

Cynthia: She’d pick the country because it would give her a chance to have more manual labor tasks and give her a higher chance of having a backwoods to explore.

Sleet: Sure, she loves talking to and being with people, but she would just want to live on the prairie in a cottage. The vastness of the land, possibly some trails to hike, and raising farm animals would be her dream.

Morning: For the aesthetics. Also where else is she going to hide away with Lyra once she has the money to retire?

11. Is your OC a blanket hog?

Cynthia: Yes!

Sleet: She shares the blanket.

Morning: She feels bad whenever she wakes up with all of the blankets on her like a burrito.

12. Would your OC play by the rules in a fight or take cheap shots?

Cynthia and Sleet play by the rules, but Morning may take cheap shots if she dislikes someone enough.

Cynthia: nope!

Sleet: a small one!

Morning: nope!

Sleet: To be surrounded by friends!

Morning: Some time with Lyra!

15. Something that grosses your OC out?

Sleet: hiking! lots of hiking. preferably on a good meadowy mountain.

Morning: time for some camping in the middle of the woods and creeping out her girlfriend with spooky stories!

17. Is there a real person that looks like your OC?

Cynthia: Not really! First of all, she’s an angel, and secondly, her skin and hair color are so much of an ethnic mix that I’m unsure if it can even happen in humans!

Sleet: I actually think of one of my childhood friend’s moms but with longer hair whenever I think of Sleet!

Morning: Not that I know of, but there’s probably some cute lady out there who does!

18. Something that makes your OC laugh without fail?

Cynthia: Remembering some of the hilarious conversations between her and Mordecai when he trained her! “First of all, fuck stealth” is one of the main ones.

Sleet: She doesn’t quite laugh easily, but whenever Slate gets a bit too clumsy she can’t help but to laugh a bit. She makes sure Slate is okay though first.

Morning: Lyra telling her jokes and memes

19. Something that makes your OC cry without fail?

Cynthia: She is more of an angry crier, but anytime any of her crew gets severely injuried she cries. Also, any time she remembers a softer moment in her life, she can’t help but to cry because she misses those moments dearly. She tries to make it not look like she’s crying and holds back tears, but she can break easily.

Sleet/Morning: Whenever their significant other gets hurt or similar happens to them! And also animated films.

20. A obscure/ridiculous fear your OC has?

Cynthia: Most of her fears are justified, but probably her most obscure fear is running out of ink on her pen and not being able to write.

Sleet: She’s a little bit of a germaphobe from all of her years in the medical field.

Morning: Morning is pretty fearless, but she is deeply afraid of wandering around on the internet and accidentally finding some weird kink stuff or hentai.

21. Does your OC have any type of disability, whether it be mental, physical, etc?

Every one of my OCs have some sort of disability or I purposely make them unlikable. However, they tend to be more of mental disabilities than physical ones! I should definitely make some OCs with physical disabilities too!

Cynthia: Anxiety, insomnia, depression, and literally has so many concussions that she’s probably got some brain damage. While not a disability, I’ll throw in here that she has major scars on her right shoulder and, in AAF, grey scars on her left side.

Sleet: OCD, Autism, ADD.

22. Does your OC get frustrated when people forget to close the door behind themselves?

Cynthia: no

Sleet: yes

Morning: no

23. What is your OC’s first memory?

Cynthia: The earliest memory she can recall was a simple day with her original family. It was a very happy day because there was a huge feast that day, and no major arguments broke out. She assumes she was about three or four years old at the time.

Sleet: Sleet’s mother reading a book to baby Sleet! She remembered her mother reading a bunch of dots on the page and being amazed that her mother could make words from it. Her mother grabbed Sleet’s hand at one point and let her feel the words as her mom read them out loud.

Morning: She was walking through a huge city while holding her stuffed cat plush! She was very nervous, but her parents made her comfortable by keeping an arm on her shoulders while she held her plush.

24. Something you like that your OC would hate?

Cynthia: Honestly? If Cynthia met me in person she would absolutely pummel me into the ground. But unlike her, I like waiting around sometimes and looking around for small details!

Sleet: I like a lot of mess sometimes! She doesn’t.

Morning: Being the aesthetic person she is, she wouldn’t like my wardrobe of just T-shirts ahahaha

25. Your OC is going into battle/on a mission! What song is their anthem?

Cynthia: aggressively points to canon and then kindly says that I want to make her a battle theme myself at some point!

Sleet: If she’s going on a mission of any sort, she’d put on some ambience music. She doesn’t fight!

Morning: “Bubblegum Bitch” by Marina and the Diamonds? Maybe?

26. Does your OC have good or bad posture?

Sleet has the best posture, Cynthia has good posture, and Morning tries her best.

27. Most despicable thing your OC has ever done?

Cynthia: I mean, she’s definitely murdered some innocent people to get what she wanted. That one guard in S8, that guy in S14 who threw a chair at her, and probably some more. (But at least she hasn’t slaughtered tens of orcs because a demon told her to.) Also, she’s reckless a lot of times, and it’s even put the crew’s lives in danger a few times.

Sleet: She’s been incredibly passive in situations where she should have done something. Other than that, she had done nothing wrong.

Morning: She can get really petty. Probably managed to get someone arrested.

28. Is your OC a conspiracy theorist?

Cynthia: Yes, but in the sense that she believes that Roland is to be held accountable for the Plague.

Sleet: No!

Morning: Participates in the Area 51 memes but not seriously a conspiracy theorist. She likes to believe in aliens and cryptids, though.

29. Someone does something awful in front of your OC. How do they handle it?

Not well at all!

God damn it, they all love tea!

31. Does your OC prefer to sleep in a warm or cool area?

Cynthia: Warm area!

32. Would your OC like you if they met you?

Cynthia would kill me on sight, and then Sleet and Morning would barely be able to tolerate me.

33. A song that reminds you of your OC?

Cynthia: “Rubik’s Cube” by Athlete, “In the Woods Somewhere” by Hozier, and “Sky Full of Song” by Florence and the Machine. Hmmmm I wonder why

Also “El Tango de Roxanne” because of AAF

Sleet: “Little Talks” by Of Monsters and Men, “Wisdom’s Tragedy” by Disasterpeace, and “And So It Goes” by Mariana’s Trench.

Morning: Not really any song in particular, mainly because she’s quite new to the human AU, and she wasn’t quite developed on before that.

34. Is your OC a nail biter?

Cynthia: yes!

Sleet: no!

Morning: yes!

35. What is your OC’s favorite quote?

Cynthia: “First of all: Fuck stealth” probably, said by Mordecai. Also literally any time Jinri calls her darling.

Sleet: probably the whole “The Two-Headed Calf” poem

Morning: “Treat yourself”

36. Your OC’s favorite fashion era? (20’s, 70’s, etc)

Cynthia: Victorian!

Sleet: American Colonial era of clothing!

Morning: She loves the modern fashion era, but also she loves the 1920’s.

37. Does your OC get excited when they get mail?

All three: yes!

Sleet: She’s really really good at organizing.

Morning: She can recount word-for-word in real time her favorite movie.

40. Assuming your OC doesn’t have them already, what superpower would they want? If they do, would they change it, keep it, or get rid of it?

Cynthia: She likes her divine magic, thank you.

Sleet: She’d want healing magic!

Morning: Weather manipulation!

41. Does your OC like/make puns?

Cynthia: loves puns!

Sleet: doesn’t like puns!

Morning: makes puns!

42. What kind of shampoo does your OC use?

Cynthia: ??? Does she even get the chance to shower???

Sleet: It has to be a very certain shampoo brand, and the exact shampoo that she always gets. As to what, it’s definitely one that helps clean out dandruff well.

Morning: (I apologize, I can’t really answer this one too well! But probably one that’s safe for dyed, coiled hair!)

43. Your OC wakes up with a coin super glued to their forehead. How do they react?

Cynthia: which Philious was it

Sleet: She would be doing everything to remove it.

Morning: Laugh! Good prank! Now how do I remove it.

44. Can your OC sleep if there’s any kind of light?

Cynthia: Cynthia doesn’t even sleep either way. But yes, she can sleep with some light. In some cases, she even prefers it.

Sleet: Nope. Pure darkness and cold room only.

Morning: yes!

Cynthia: a slowly-declining one!

Sleet: She has high self esteem!

Cynthia folds her clothes, Morning and Sleet hang them.

48. Would society call your OC a good guy or a bad guy? What would they say they are?

They’re all good people, but people might think wrong of Cynthia and Morning for their occasionally-illegal actions.

49. Your OC’s most prized possession?

Cynthia: Her diary!

Sleet: She has a moonstone necklace that she wears on very special locations. It was a gift from her mother.

Morning: She has a plush cat that she’s managed to keep throughout the years. It’s a calico plush that she named “Mewsie” as a kid.

50. What is your OC’s happy place?

Cynthia: A calm fireplace, a spot on the couch next to Jinri or Mordecai. She wants everything to be back to what it was before the Plague. She wants to be back home at the mansion, but the temple works just as fine. Small talks about life, a few words about Sune and how much Sune has given them, and being able to heal emotionally.

Sleet: The summit of a mountain covered in meadows. The wind stirs, but it is not enough to chill the air or blow her away. A picnic with Slate, up on the summit, chatting about how beautiful everything is. How beautiful he is.

Morning: A walk through the forest during autumn. A strong smell of pine cones, wet leaves from morning dew. A fog rolls over, but isn’t obscuring her sight. A cabin in the middle of the woods, calling her back home. Holding hands with Lyra yet again.

Sept 4 Dancitron Movie Night - Alien: Covenant

Shockwave showed up so he and Soundwave could moon over the xenomorphs. Rumble confessed his attraction to Whirl, and it was spectacular. Post-movie Prowl gave Soundwave a song.

ItsyBitsySpyers 8:10 pm *Then turns to Prowl to nod and.. and there it is. Permission. He returns the ping with one of acknowledgment... and tries to keep his glowing to a minimum. It's hard, because permission on one side and a rare visit from the other ally on the other, but he can do it. He can.* *...No he can't. Tiny boost.* Specs 8:11 pm I... Yes. I could have done that. *the dragon attempts to hide her snout with her paws* Well, I guess this is why I bake things instead of engineer them!

Nothing more than a faint brush.* FakeProwl 8:20 pm *hm. Soundwave's other partner is here. Since that's such a rare occurrence, Prowl won't try to compete for Soundwave's attention. Avatar flickers and Prowl's relocated to a couch by himself.* *... And belatedly, clumsily, attempts to send a gentle nudge back. Is that detectable?

With some lead sulfate to "taste," I think? But mostly cobaltite and high grade. I heard, although from a different universe, that this is going to be spicy as the Goddess' wrath. ((READY)) Whirl 8:25 pm *he'll bob his head to Windchill, who seriously overestimates other peoples' desire to sit near him, bless his spark* Windchill 8:26 pm (( I was gonna say there's hand mutilation in it @ Whirl. )) FakeProwl 8:26 pm ((BRING ON THE ALIENS)) Specs 8:26 pm I did not drink this, so I don't know if I put enough in. Tell me if it's got a sour aftertaste so I can add more lead crystals. Shockwave 8:26 pm ((please send in my wife)) Windchill 8:26 pm *He wants to sit next to Whirl, so naturally he assumes.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:26 pm *Ravage sniffs the egg carton left behind and wrinkles his nose.

Well, hot damn. FakeProwl 8:27 pm *good! that worked.* Whirl 8:27 pm *when whirl gets distracted by dragons ravage just finds Strange Eggs on his bar, this is the way of the world* Bevel 8:27 pm *will sit by one or both of the twins depending on where they're at* Shockwave 8:27 pm ((yknow ravage some humans like egg in their cocktails)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:27 pm ((...can y'all hear sound)) Specs 8:27 pm *the dragon gratefully accepts the ride. her legs are TIRED.* I hope this works! ((I heard sounds)) Whirl 8:28 pm (((me2!)) Windchill 8:28 pm (( I heard sound. )) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:28 pm ((my damn computer. two seconds.)) Whirl 8:28 pm *there, you now have a place on Whirl's table; he willset about investigating this canister by opening it and smelling it* ((o7)) Shockwave 8:28 pm ((i heard sound, my pal was having an issue the other day where they couldnt hear sound while hosting but it transfered fine)) ((i think he had to put in headphones or restart or something)) Whirl 8:29 pm *on a scale of "hot sauce" to "might strip away the inner lining of your fuel tank," how spicy does this stuff smell* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:29 pm ((here we go. restarted browser)) Specs 8:30 pm *it might take the glossa on the way down, but will probably cause no permanent damage* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:30 pm *Both twins are in the middle of the floor. They're here for TERROR.*

*Ravage noses the carton open and rumbles. He knows what these are now. Munchies for later. Pocket pocket.* Windchill 8:30 pm You can just say "walk," you know. *He thinks that's funny for some reason.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:30 pm *And Soundwave rests his hand just against Shockwave's leg. It's been so long since they got new data on these forms. He is pleased by the opportunity, brief though it may be.* Whirl 8:31 pm *then whirl's golden, he has no glossa. Takes a careful sip* Ohh, not bad. A completely different kind of spicy than the Gaugebuster. ...I forgot that there was more than one kind of spicy. Windchill 8:31 pm (( Whirl are u on skype. )) (( o7 )) Specs 8:32 pm *the dragon can't help a sigh of relief* Oh, good. I can't taste these, I'm glad it worked out. Windchill 8:32 pm Imagine tracking mud all over this pristine white room with all of this fancy stuff. That's what I would do. Ruin it. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:32 pm \\I'D DO IT.\\ Windchill 8:32 pm Let's do it! Specs 8:32 pm Why use mud when you could use very bright paint? Whirl 8:32 pm 8snorts and toasts the dragon with the canister* I salute your culinary prowess. Shockwave 8:32 pm *is pleased, too. hasn't made the time to see this entry himself, yet-- not that it feels that long of a time to him* Whirl 8:33 pm I'm a fan of scorchmarks, myself. Bevel 8:33 pm Paint and stuff would be more fun. You could put a bunch of things in there. Windchill 8:33 pm I like destroying things. Specs 8:33 pm *the dragon weakly salutes* I do my best. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:33 pm [[...Leave the piano.]] Windchill 8:33 pm *Creating's fun too, but sometimes one must Destroy first.* FakeProwl 8:34 pm *why can't he get his own tea? it's right there.* *he built himself a servant that's already proving to be more intelligent than he is.* Shockwave 8:34 pm *...can relate to this 'creation' chat, though the creator human does not seem properly aware of the responsibilities involved* Windchill 8:36 pm Do androids get cold? Is that why he's wearing a hoodie? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:36 pm [[We get cold.]] Unfortunately. [[He doesn't see why they should not.]] Specs 8:36 pm To be cold is to live. Or to be dead, if you're unfortunate. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:36 pm *Lean. What are these things?* Windchill 8:36 pm Um. Shockwave 8:37 pm *head tilt* Windchill 8:37 pm It's like Jurassic Park all over again. Specs 8:37 pm *squints* Fish eggs? Shockwave 8:37 pm Human embryo, more likely. Whirl 8:38 pm Hood's a stylish look. That's my best guess. Specs 8:38 pm Why don't humans have proper shells to their eggs? They don't live in water, clearly. Whirl 8:38 pm I'd give it a shot, but my neck's too long. Windchill 8:39 pm Humans are viviparous, they don't lay eggs so there's no reason to have a shell. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:39 pm \\HUH. SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS TO 'EM.\\ Windchill 8:40 pm *Frowns.* Specs 8:40 pm I didn't know that! Thank you, Windchill. Windchill 8:41 pm *Nods a 'you're welcome,' a little absently.* Whirl 8:42 pm Speaking of eggs--*looks back* Those're for you, Ravage. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:42 pm *Quietly grateful for all of his recordings. Just in case.* =...To eat, yes?= Shockwave 8:42 pm (ahh my thing went blank)) Windchill 8:42 pm *Snickers. A Shockwave.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:43 pm ((eek reload)) Shockwave 8:43 pm ((i missed my name pun lmao)) Whirl 8:44 pm Yep. I heard they were pretty good. Picked 'em up on a space station. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:44 pm [[Can they not hold their services after they are safe?]] Shockwave 8:44 pm He acknowledged the deaths. *just a moment ago in fact. silly humans* Windchill 8:44 pm Mentioning an option like that would avoid tension and drama, the script doesn't call for it. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:45 pm =Why space station?= Specs 8:45 pm It's immediacy, too, at least partially. We organics live short lives, sometimes we need to do things right away to feel like we'll be able to do them ever. Whirl 8:45 pm I've been hanging out there, past few days. Shockwave 8:45 pm ((walters different accent is weirding me out lol)) Whirl 8:45 pm Ugh, it's the dullest place imaginable, though. Everything's so... *disgustedly* Efficient. I need to find some backwater rowdy port town. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:46 pm *Rumble glances over at Whirl. So that's where he's gone, huh?* Windchill 8:46 pm I like efficiency. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:46 pm [[As does he.]] Shockwave 8:47 pm *as does he* Whirl 8:47 pm I mean I like efficency in SOME things, but it makes for a tragic lack of nightlife. Windchill 8:48 pm Hmm. *He's trying to evaluate that trade off.* Shockwave 8:48 pm *the only nightlife he needs is waking up every four hours to check on his projects* Windchill 8:49 pm Or maybe they don't trust you because you haven't done anything to demonstrate that you value their feelings or input, but I dunno. Some people care about that sort of thing. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:49 pm =Excitement is good. Some.= He wiggles his claws. =You will find it.= Bared fang smile. =Or make it.= Whirl 8:50 pm As long as I don't tragically languish away from boredom. *tips his canister at Ravage* Those eggs good for a drink? Windchill 8:50 pm *By some people, he mostly means civilians who haven't been trained to prioritize, but shh.* Shiny. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:50 pm *Ravage counts the eggs.*

=...Two.= Whirl 8:51 pm *nods* Nice. *to Windchill* If you'll excuse me a moment. *he will hop up to fetch that drink* Windchill 8:51 pm What a gross sound. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:51 pm *Ravage will get started making it.* Windchill 8:51 pm Oh, uh, sure, have fun. *Waves Whirl away. Shoo!* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:52 pm *Soundwave tilts his helm.* Windchill 8:53 pm Oh boy. Specs 8:53 pm You don't wander off the map when exploring. That's how you die. Windchill 8:53 pm *Nods.* They planned and are equipped for the other one. Changing the plan is stupid. Whirl 8:54 pm I'd do it. Bevel 8:54 pm Bad things are gonna happen. Whirl 8:54 pm Sounds more interesting. Windchill 8:54 pm If it were just ME, sure, but they have sleeping colonists who they aren't giving a choice. Specs 8:55 pm *the dragon shrugs* You pack for iceburgs, and you wander inland, you end up with glaciers. And then you're in trouble. Windchill 8:55 pm Their job is to get those colonists to Origae 6 or whatever it's called. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:55 pm [[Icebergs are enough trouble on their own.]] Windchill 8:55 pm Not to run around chasing a mystery signal. *Points.* Whirl 8:55 pm Well, I'm not liable to be trusted with anyone's life except my own--and sometimes not even THAT--so I probably won't be shepherding thousands of colonists. FakeProwl 8:55 pm *did prowl hear icebergs* Windchill 8:56 pm What data do they even have? Specs 8:56 pm Iceburgs are big trouble and worse boats. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:56 pm *He did. And sort of in connection with a ship. If you extend the idea.* Windchill 8:56 pm Now we know why nobody trusts this guy. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:56 pm //Pfff, he'll put it in the log.// Windchill 8:56 pm He's an idiot. Shockwave 8:56 pm *ah, this series and their sensible females* Specs 8:56 pm So, when they starve, will they eat him first? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:56 pm \\MEANS "I HEAR YA 'N DON'T CARE."\\ Windchill 8:56 pm I hope so. Whirl 8:56 pm You two said it. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:56 pm =I would.= Whirl 8:57 pm *will return to his seat once he has his drink* Shockwave 8:57 pm ((i do wonder why she didnt object when he said 'any objections' though lmao)) Specs 8:57 pm I mean, he is the captain, so it's partially his duty to be eaten first even if this wasn't his fault. But since it is his fault... Whirl 8:57 pm ((didn't wanna make a scene, probably)) Windchill 8:57 pm (( Because TEH PLOT hinges on them going to this planet in defiance of common sense, like most of what happens in this film. )) Shockwave 8:57 pm (( :') ah horror tropes)) Whirl 8:57 pm ((everyone's operating on severely frayed nerves, after all)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:57 pm //...That's a duty? Signin' off on gettin' eat up?// He looks to Soundwave. //Boss. Don't never lemme captain nothin'.// Windchill 8:58 pm (( Beautiful. )) Wait wait. Specs 8:58 pm ((you could probably rename the alien series to "dude, don't touch that")) Windchill 8:58 pm They're just going down there? No pressure suits? Whirl 8:58 pm *SNORTS* Shockwave 8:58 pm ((i dont care as long as my wife gets to kill people and be beautiful)) Windchill 8:58 pm Why don't they have drones to send? Whirl 8:58 pm Looks like a fun storm. Specs 8:58 pm It's... unofficial. Especially now that most of our planet is explored. But the early explorer teams generally assumed that the captain would be eaten if they were lead to starvation. Windchill 8:59 pm Why would they risk what , half of their team on this. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:59 pm \\GUESS IT'S FAIR.\\ //Still ain't captainin'.// Windchill 8:59 pm I can't wait to see what stupid decision they make next. Specs 9:00 pm Maybe they'll eat strange rocks. Windchill 9:00 pm ...To be fair, I would probably eat a strange rock without question. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:00 pm {{You like Swoop, heh.}} Whirl 9:00 pm I believe that one hundred percent. Specs 9:00 pm Yes, but they're not designed for rocks. At least, I don't think so... Windchill 9:01 pm I'm not designed for rocks either, you gotta be, like...an Insecticon for that. Specs 9:01 pm ((OH SHIT MY MEDICINE)) Whirl 9:01 pm Does Blue eat rocks? ((GET IT SPECS OMG)) Windchill 9:01 pm But I do it anyway, I'm what you'd call "foolhardy." (( GIT IT )) *He shakes his head.* She'll eat anything she can put her mouth on, she just hasn't been introduced to a rock yet. Whirl 9:02 pm *snickers* Specs 9:02 pm ((I had it right here I just forgot about it lmao)) ((and then I went to get a kitkat and I Saw)) Whirl 9:02 pm Okay, now... all right. I'll play along and be sensible, much as it pains me: just because it looks habitable, doesn't mean it's as good a place. They can only see so much on foot. What if there's some kind of, oh, I don't know, horrific predator? That they would've picked up on that other planet? Specs 9:03 pm Do they have a planetary scanner? I've heard about them. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:03 pm *What if indeed.* Windchill 9:03 pm They're breathing the atmosphere without knowing what kind of microbes and Primus knows what else in in it Whirl 9:03 pm Yeah, he mentioned it Windchill 9:03 pm For organics, that's like...bad. Whirl 9:03 pm Very briefly. I'm guessing that the big draw is the signal. Sign of their own kind. FakeProwl 9:03 pm Obvious trap. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:03 pm [[Humans are curious.]] Tarantulas 9:03 pm *tara's coming in and making a beeline for that prowl-only couch even though he sees shockwave - you should feel loved, prowl. he's coming up behind prowl and wrapping his arms around him* Specs 9:04 pm They could get skin slough disease. Then they'd catch everything else before they died. FakeProwl 9:04 pm *starts in surprise. then pats tarantulas's claws.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:04 pm //The frag's skin slough?// Windchill 9:04 pm It sounds horrible. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:04 pm //Sounds gross. Cool. But gross.// Windchill 9:05 pm *Sputters.* They're splitting up. *Drapes himself in the chair, dramatically.* Whirl, kill me. Specs 9:05 pm It's one of the few diseases that we all share between us. It involves the skin, well, falling out in patches as it rots away. It's why you don't drink from glacial water without testing it first. Whirl 9:05 pm All right. *offers him a sip of the Gaugebuster* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:05 pm \\...DO YOU GOT PICS.\\ Whirl 9:05 pm *this kills the Windchill* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:05 pm *Soundwave nods to Tarantulas and goes back to watching* Windchill 9:05 pm *Hesitates. Does he want to risk purging on Soundwave's floor?* Specs 9:06 pm No. No I do not. I am squeamish. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:06 pm *Ravage chortles. He knows what no noise means.* \\DAMN. OKAY.\\ Tarantulas 9:06 pm *a nuzzle, a pleased nod toward soundwave, and tarantulas comes around to squish up next to prowl* How much have I missed, hmm? Specs 9:06 pm I'd offer to ask the archives to send them up, but they don't send manuscripts to the moon. Whirl 9:06 pm *speaking of Ravage, and predators, and the things predators do--Whirl's leg is all patched up* Windchill 9:06 pm Hmm, tempting, but then you'd have my backwash in your drink. You'd best not risk it. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:06 pm *Good. He doesn't need questions.* Shockwave 9:07 pm *antennae forward* FakeProwl 9:07 pm not terribly much. Whirl 9:07 pm You're right. I'd hate to do that to a good Gaugebuster. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:07 pm *Scoot. Scoot. What is this cloud.* Windchill 9:07 pm Evil fairy spores?? Whirl 9:07 pm Oh, look--scraplets? Specs 9:07 pm That looks unrealistic. Windchill 9:07 pm I just said there's a reason they shouldn't expose themselves to the atmosphere. This...looks like that reason. FakeProwl 9:08 pm The humans are trying to settle on another planet. Instead of going to the correct planet, they stopped on a suspiciously—VERY suspiciously—Earth-like planet they found in the middle of nowhere that has Earth plants and transmits a John Denver song. Windchill 9:08 pm *Maybe they'll learn their lesson and then DIE.* Whirl 9:08 pm Hm. *watching the screen with slightly more intterest than before* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:08 pm *Oh, he knows this shape.* Bevel 9:08 pm Trap. Windchill 9:08 pm Looks like two penises to me. Specs 9:08 pm I like the, um, android. He seems sensible. *is android the right word?* Whirl 9:08 pm *peers* FakeProwl 9:08 pm One of the characters is an android, but I forget which one. *all humans look alike.* Whirl 9:08 pm I mean, that's not what they rest like. Shockwave 9:08 pm It is a space vessel. Whirl 9:09 pm Like some kind of horseshoe. Windchill 9:09 pm What, the penis-ship? Whirl 9:09 pm Two penises. A split spike. It makes, like, a "v." ItsyBitsySpyers 9:09 pm [[So there is more than one invasion method for this cloud.]] Windchill 9:09 pm Could be a double ended dildo. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:10 pm //Who flies a giant spike?// Tarantulas 9:10 pm So the excitement really hasn't quite started yet after all, hyeh. I see. Aside from this minuscule black swarm Specs 9:10 pm Someone who's compensating. Shockwave 9:10 pm It appears to penetrate the mucous membrane. Whirl 9:10 pm Hmm. Someone trying to make a point. WHAT point, I don't know. Windchill 9:10 pm I don't care, it looks like a pair of spikes to me, and I, *hand over boob,* have seen a lot of spikes. I'm like an expert. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:10 pm *Searches his files for this... finds it in Knock Out's notes on Silas. Inspect inspect. Okay, that makes sense.* Whirl 9:10 pm *just regards Windchill with amusement* @W: Yeah, I, too, speak from experience. Bevel 9:11 pm Gross. Whirl 9:11 pm But, yeah, more of those scraplet things. Neat! ItsyBitsySpyers 9:11 pm *...The ship remembers? Fascinating.* Windchill 9:11 pm @Whirl: I'll bet I've still seen more than you have, so nyeh. Whirl 9:11 pm @W: I mean MINE, doofus. Bevel 9:12 pm *pulls out a datapad and starts poking at that* Specs 9:12 pm I think that would scare the fur right off of me if I saw that. Whirl 9:12 pm Wow, who could have predicted this. Walking around just sucking in all that air. Windchill 9:12 pm @Whirl: ...Damn, son. *He's not going to say anything. He predicted this. Loudly, in fact.* Whirl 9:13 pm Anyway... were those scraplet-things in the other movies? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:13 pm [[No. They were not.]] Bevel 9:13 pm I wish movies would find planets like Cybertron instead of more planets like Earth sometimes. That would be really cool. Windchill 9:14 pm Oh wow. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:14 pm //They ain't gonna do that. They think we're all big scary murderers.// Pause. //I mean, we are. But.// Whirl 9:14 pm *snickers* Bevel 9:14 pm *giggles* Are not. Whirl 9:14 pm Speak for yourself, Shovel. ...which. I guess. You were, actually. Windchill 9:14 pm I'm not scary. I'm just big. He looks pretty dead already. Bevel 9:15 pm That was different. FakeProwl 9:15 pm I'm perfectly content with their not finding planets like Cybertron. Humans are awful at writing mecha characters. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:15 pm *SCOOT SCOOT* *He is held to his seat by just about nothing at this point.* Windchill 9:15 pm Were these people trained at all? Ew. Bacne. Shockwave 9:17 pm *ANTENNAE PERK* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:17 pm *Rumble squawk laughs at Windchill* Windchill 9:17 pm *You're welcome.* Tarantulas 9:17 pm *is casually and surreptitiously wrapping himself around prowl one arm at a time* Whirl 9:17 pm ...awww. Windchill 9:17 pm A baby. Whirl 9:17 pm Look at it! ItsyBitsySpyers 9:17 pm [[...This one has legs.]] FakeProwl 9:17 pm *has noticed.* Bevel 9:17 pm What about a planet made out of something cool? Like glass. Specs 9:17 pm *someone's hiding her snout* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:17 pm [[They never have legs.]] Bevel 9:17 pm Or diamonds! Shockwave 9:17 pm ((well they found something grosser than a chestburster, congrats lmfao)) Whirl 9:17 pm It's precious. Windchill 9:17 pm Its head is pulsating. Whirl 9:18 pm ...*pauses; imitates the little alien click* Windchill 9:18 pm I approve. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:18 pm //I seen a stone planet. It was weird.// Windchill 9:18 pm *SNORTS* *The level of incompetency.* FakeProwl 9:18 pm I wouldn't mind a glass planet. Whirl 9:18 pm Spunky little guy! Windchill 9:19 pm It's like a slimy, naked monkey. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:19 pm [[Why is she shooting in an encl-- never mind.]] Tarantulas 9:19 pm Precisely my thoughts, Soundwave Whirl 9:19 pm *snickers. ...then looks at Windchill, and maket eh little clicking trill* Specs 9:19 pm Well. Windchill 9:19 pm *Bursts out laughing.* Whirl 9:19 pm Oh d-ha! Damn! And there's another on the way, too. Specs 9:19 pm That ended somehow predictably poorly. Windchill 9:19 pm *Give him a moment to recover.* *Normally he's more sympathetic but he's given up on these idiots.* Specs 9:20 pm *aaaaand there goes the snout again* Shockwave 9:20 pm *hands tented* Whirl 9:20 pm Coming out any which way they can, aren't they? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:20 pm [[They do seem less - methodical. Than he is used to seeing.]] FakeProwl 9:20 pm They're very creative with their exit wounds. Windchill 9:20 pm Anyway, *wheeze, and he turns to Whirl.* You were saying? Shockwave 9:21 pm It is a prototypical iteration. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:21 pm *Quiet amusement at Prowl's comment. He'll shield that though.* Whirl 9:21 pm Ah, yes. As I was saying--*alien noise* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:21 pm *Ping of approval. A good noise to imitate.* Whirl 9:21 pm *tips a toast to Soundwave* Shockwave 9:21 pm ((aw. poor old gays)) Specs 9:21 pm *deep breaths* *deeeeeep breaths* That was lovely. Shockwave 9:21 pm ((OH MY)) Whirl 9:21 pm *recoils* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:22 pm *Ohhhh dear, there's Whirl probably.* Whirl 9:22 pm *he's gonna look down at his drink, very quickly* Specs 9:22 pm *carefully moves a paw over to whirl* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:22 pm [[They still grow quickly.]] Bevel 9:22 pm *stares pointedly at her datapad* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:23 pm *Rumble pings Whirl. You good?* Whirl 9:23 pm *the gesture is appreciated, but he does not acknowledge it; he's pretending like nothing happened* ...*briefly glances his way with a quick little nod* ((i'm too hyped for my game the first thing I thought when i saw the hooded guy with the gun was "o it's destiny time')) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:23 pm *...Takes something Prowl said earlier and chews on it a little with this new development* Specs 9:23 pm *for her part, the dragon is clearly freaked. all that fur is up on end, and the attempts to not hyperventilate are only partly working* Windchill 9:24 pm *Clicks back at Whirl, now that the scene is over. It's not the same, he hasn't learned to make the same sounds.* Whirl 9:24 pm ...*hmm. She tried to reassure him...* Hey, you need a seat? Probably had to see down there. And I got a lot of shoulder. Shockwave 9:24 pm ((those fuckers just schloop limbs right up dont they)) Whirl 9:24 pm ((like spaghetti)) Windchill 9:24 pm What are all of those? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:24 pm //Burnin' happened here's what happened here. Like, duh.// Specs 9:24 pm Y-yeah. Yeah. Thanks. *enjoy your new fuzzy epaulette, whirl* Windchill 9:25 pm Maybe they'll explain later. Weird. Whirl 9:25 pm *Has A Dragon™️* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:25 pm *...............Oooooh.* Windchill 9:25 pm *Whirl is Fancy now.* Wait. Whirl 9:26 pm That seems like a really... dumb. Weapon. Windchill 9:26 pm If they killed all of the animals, how are the plants being pollinated? Specs 9:27 pm Presumably, they are not. Whirl 9:27 pm I mean, can't argue with the results, but at the same time--too much work when a good orbital strike will do. Shockwave 9:27 pm Divulging this information is unwise. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:27 pm [[Incredibly.]] Windchill 9:27 pm Wouldn't most of the plant life have started to die off after a while? Especially if it's similar to Earth's. Shockwave 9:27 pm Not if they were unaffected and able to develop alternative forms of pollination. FakeProwl 9:28 pm ... He's another android? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:28 pm [[He is. The one from the beginning.]] Windchill 9:28 pm Depends on how fast they can do that, I suppose. Bevel 9:28 pm He did not like bringing tea. Windchill 9:28 pm And if they can do it fast enough, but the wind would have done some of the work. Specs 9:28 pm Obviously not. Windchill 9:28 pm But most ecosystems rely on all of their parts to function. *Or, well, all, but he's being generous here.* Specs 9:29 pm But, being a lesser, a servant? That grates. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:29 pm [["Grates" is an understatement.]] Windchill 9:30 pm Maybe they shouldn't have split mates up if it was going to cause conflicts of interest like this. Shockwave 9:30 pm *its possible some small life forms have insufficient biomass to sustain the pathogen, and are thus spared* Whirl 9:30 pm Yeah. No way I'd put up with that. Windchill 9:30 pm *Possible, but not stated.* Beetle! *points* *He likes those.* Shockwave 9:31 pm ((is this the scene where they play the flute and kiss)) Windchill 9:31 pm (( I think so? )) ((I'm ready. )) Tarantulas 9:31 pm (( oh my god are you serious Specs 9:31 pm ((I'm not ready)) Windchill 9:31 pm (( YES. )) Whirl 9:31 pm ((is that a thing omfg)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:31 pm *Soundwave turns his head to the side. Why did he trim his head fur?* (( 🙂 )) Shockwave 9:31 pm ((so much fassbender in this movie they decided fassbender needed to kiss fassbender)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:32 pm *...Ohhhh a music lesson.* FakeProwl 9:32 pm *human films never show robotic characters as things like hardened lone survivors. Prowl is intrigued.* Windchill 9:32 pm *SPITS.* Specs 9:32 pm ((if two fassbenders get together, do they make a fassbaby)) FakeProwl 9:32 pm (("i'll do the fingering")) Windchill 9:32 pm The...the fingering. Tarantulas 9:32 pm (( wink wonk Whirl 9:32 pm ((dfklsfse)) Shockwave 9:32 pm ((yep..........)) Bevel 9:32 pm ((*slowly pulls movie back into view to watch* Shockwave 9:32 pm ((the gayest way to play the recorder ever?)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:32 pm *...If only he could play.* Windchill 9:32 pm *He bends over double with barely contained snickering.* Whirl 9:33 pm *peers* FakeProwl 9:33 pm *wow, even mecha bonding with each other. prowl entirely approves.* Windchill 9:33 pm *Okay, he's gonna live.* *Straightens.* That's kinda cool... Oh. Figures. Bevel 9:34 pm Aw Specs 9:34 pm *hisses a little* Ah. Shockwave 9:35 pm ((would prowl say this movie passes the............. botdel test)) FakeProwl 9:35 pm ... what where their names? Windchill 9:35 pm *Nudges Whirl with an elbow, GENTLY, he doesn't want to knock off any dragons or spill drinks.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:35 pm [[The androids?]] FakeProwl 9:35 pm ((not yet. they spent their conversation talking about a human.)) Whirl 9:35 pm Hm? FakeProwl 9:36 pm ((but in a nuanced way. it's progress.)) Yes, the androids. Shockwave 9:36 pm ((they mentioned a human but talked about music and themselves more, i'd say... hm)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:36 pm [[Walter and David.]] Windchill 9:36 pm You got room on your other shoulder? Whirl 9:36 pm For another dragon, yeah. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:36 pm *...Hm.* Windchill 9:36 pm What about my boobs? Whirl 9:36 pm 'Fraid not. Windchill 9:37 pm But they're heavy. *Whines.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:37 pm [[That does not look like a crash.]] FakeProwl 9:37 pm ((it's a borderline case. they talked about themselves, but in relation to what humans think of them. the music was very solid though. prowl approves of the music scene.)) Specs 9:37 pm Nor does it look like an accident. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:37 pm *He knew it.* Shockwave 9:37 pm That is because the one called David is thoroughly untrustworthy. Windchill 9:37 pm *Is momentarily distracted.* Whirl 9:37 pm (YELLS IN AN ALIEN LANGUAGE) Windchill 9:37 pm Looks like exploding eggs. That explains the bodies... FakeProwl 9:38 pm ... That's not a crash. That's an invasion. Windchill 9:38 pm ...Was that tiny city the only population on the planet? Whirl 9:38 pm ((UHH)) ((THAT WAS SHELLEY)) ((NOT BYRON)) Specs 9:38 pm ((that's a plot point, actually!)) Shockwave 9:39 pm ((lmao what)) Whirl 9:39 pm ((OH DAMB. )) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:39 pm ((just watch)) Specs 9:39 pm I would think not. Even the worst places can be made into homes, if you work at it. Shockwave 9:40 pm ((man let him decide what he feels davey)) Specs 9:40 pm Surely there were other cities. ((best quality: their wiggles)) Whirl 9:40 pm *it's alien noise time again, briefly, before Whirl snickers and takes a long drink* Tarantulas 9:40 pm If there were, there certainly aren't anymore, one would think Windchill 9:40 pm The virus...thing must have gotten them too. FakeProwl 9:41 pm *sideways glance at whirl.* Unfortunate. It seems we've got an infection in here. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:41 pm [[If you must explode organics out of you, do so outside. We've had enough with the barnacles.]] Windchill 9:41 pm She's dead. Whirl 9:41 pm *snickers* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:41 pm *What lovely fangs it has.* Specs 9:41 pm I am not going to EXPLODE. I will sit here politely. Whirl 9:42 pm *oh, he has an idea* Hey, dragon. Hop into my cockpit. *he'll pop the glass* Windchill 9:42 pm *Will watch* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:42 pm //What're you...?// Specs 9:42 pm *the dragon gapes a grin* Okay! *hops in* FakeProwl 9:42 pm Idiots. Whirl 9:42 pm *closes it briefly* ... *sits for a moment. Takes a drink. He's got a decently-upholstered interior, it should be comfortable* @S: Okay, the glass isn't latched. Bust out. Specs 9:43 pm *the dragon wiggles for a moment, and then leaps forwards with a MIGHTY SQUEAK* Raaaaaah! Windchill 9:43 pm *Gasp.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:43 pm *Soundwave offers a tiny applause clip.* Whirl 9:43 pm Arrgh! It got me! *dramatically slumps back ion his chair* Windchill 9:43 pm You're dead! Bevel 9:43 pm *turns so she's facing Shockwave because new and interesting looking bot* Are you a Shockwave or someone else? Specs 9:44 pm *flaps a bit to regain balance, and then clambers back up onto Whirl's shoulder* That was fun! Whirl 9:44 pm *still slumping like he's "dead," he'll take a drink* Windchill 9:44 pm Hey, does that mean...I can eat your leg? A toe, maybe? Just shoot him. Whirl 9:45 pm *miraculously revives* Nah, I got better. *and he closes his cockpit* Windchill 9:45 pm Damn, maybe next time. Tarantulas 9:45 pm Does this mean the aliens don't affect or consume the organic parts of the androids? Assuming the androids do have organic shells... Specs 9:46 pm *stretches out her wings* Shockwave 9:46 pm *looks at Bevel* I am a Shockwave, yes. Your appearance does not match any of my existing multiversal profiles. Windchill 9:46 pm Until then... *He's gonna be a huge pest AS PER USUAL and lean over to rest his head on Whirl's dragon-free shoulder.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:46 pm [[They do not infest androids. They do not have the nutrients needed.]] Whirl 9:47 pm *glances briefly towards Windchill, but allows this* Windchill 9:47 pm *He CAN be shoved off easily.* Whirl 9:47 pm *you are allowed to be there* Bevel 9:47 pm My name is Bevel. Tarantulas 9:47 pm Aha, good. I'm quite safe then. *purrs* *oh my god tarantulas is vibing with david so much rn* Windchill 9:48 pm ...Is that an egg? Whirl 9:48 pm Yep. Windchill 9:48 pm ...What laid it? Specs 9:48 pm This seems bad. This seems like a terrible idea, even. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:48 pm [[One of the prototypes, perhaps.]] Shockwave 9:48 pm *hold one claw up to Bevel. this scene is important to him* Bevel 9:48 pm *nods* Whirl 9:48 pm Yeah, I think he kinda built them from the ground up. ...somehow. Shockwave 9:49 pm ((WHO WOULD BE ASSURED BY THIS)) Specs 9:49 pm ((no one sane!)) Bevel 9:49 pm *watches as well* Windchill 9:49 pm Huh. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:49 pm *So this is how it begins.* Shockwave 9:49 pm *Ahh.* Windchill 9:49 pm I was getting tired of that guy. Bevel 9:49 pm I know what those are. Specs 9:50 pm That's definitely designed for something with a flat face. *rubs her snout* Windchill 9:50 pm I'm starting to suspect this colonization mission was really a very expensive "get these idiots off of Earth and send them into space where they will either die or spread their idiot genes elsewhere" mission, actually. Shockwave 9:50 pm Indeed. *claw drops now that the scene is over* ...Greetings, Bevel. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:50 pm *Glances between Bevel and Shockwave... will listen to this conversation on the side.* Windchill 9:51 pm *It's the only logical explanation he can muster.* Shockwave 9:51 pm *not so logical. the inciting incident was accidental and their decision to come here was not on the mission plan* Whirl 9:52 pm Aww, another little guy. Tarantulas 9:52 pm The music right now - *laughter* Windchill 9:52 pm *And yet most everyone they sent was a complete moron who couldn't stick to the plan or take basic steps to not die.* Specs 9:52 pm He looks like a proud docent! *the dragon is laughing too, in her silent way* Bevel 9:53 pm I met a negative polarity me once but that was it. Which is really weird because I have met tons of different versions of other bots. Windchill 9:53 pm Is the sun out now? Masterful fingering. No shit, Sherlock. Specs 9:55 pm ((HERE IT IS)) Windchill 9:55 pm (( GOOD. )) Whirl 9:55 pm ((\o/)) FakeProwl 9:55 pm *oh. more "the scary mecha want to overhtrow/destroy the organics." that's disappointing.* Shockwave 9:55 pm Certain individuals appear less commonly across the multiverse than others. FakeProwl 9:56 pm *at least they're moderately sympathetically writte-- what* Whirl 9:56 pm Whoa, that guy moves quick. Tarantulas 9:56 pm *tara's squinting so hard rn* Windchill 9:56 pm Damn. Well, that's a way to go. Specs 9:56 pm That's definitely a textbook example of a bad relationship. Shockwave 9:56 pm ((dont claim you wouldnt kiss yourself if you could tara-- holy shit)) Whirl 9:56 pm Huh. Windchill 9:57 pm *Carefully pokes Whirl's canopy.* Tarantulas 9:57 pm (( oh he defs would Windchill 9:57 pm Boop. FakeProwl 9:57 pm *... well alright, it's the same tropes as usual, but at least they're novel.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:57 pm ((soundwave did 🙂 )) Whirl 9:57 pm *glances sideways* Yeah? Windchill 9:57 pm Just boop. Whirl 9:57 pm *gravely* Very well. *and sets his empty glass down* Windchill 9:57 pm Rhymes with poop. Bevel 9:57 pm Is it only certain types of bots that do not appear as much? Whirl 9:58 pm Honestly those little guys are cute, too. The spidery guys, with the tails. Windchill 9:58 pm Long spider. Oooooh. Tarantulas 9:58 pm I'd say they're more scorpion-like, honestly Specs 9:58 pm They look like they could be tasty, except for the acid blood. Windchill 9:59 pm That's disconcerting. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:59 pm =Satisfaction brings us back.= Tarantulas 9:59 pm *snickers* Windchill 9:59 pm *Nods, he was about to say as much, Ravage. Sorry about his ear digging into your shoulder, Whirl.* *It's an awkward, sideways nod.* What the hell... Is this guy's problem? Whirl 10:00 pm He's off his rocker, obviously. And not in the loud way, like I am. Windchill 10:00 pm Meh, gross. Specs 10:00 pm I don't think androids are meant to fly. Shockwave 10:00 pm *really? is that the only explanation? a few updates? which ones?* Whirl 10:01 pm *the self-repair we saw, probably* Tarantulas 10:01 pm *no time to explain while fighting, shockwave* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:01 pm *One doesn't explain updates to the one who is bent on disabling them.* Tarantulas 10:01 pm *only the bad villains explain* Windchill 10:02 pm Oh, so the sun is out now. *That answers his question.* *Squints.* Specs 10:03 pm Oh, the big one definitely looks like something I would eat, if it were smaller and not full of painful acid. Tarantulas 10:03 pm *oh look, it's gorgeous... tara kind of wishes he were sitting by sw so they could commiserate, heh* Windchill 10:03 pm *Oh good, maybe the alien will put him out of his misery and do something about these people.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:03 pm *It's perfectly possible to eat things that are full of acid.* Whirl 10:03 pm They grow so fast. *drapes a claw over his cockpit* FakeProwl 10:03 pm *Case in point: is full of acid.* Windchill 10:03 pm *Snorts.* They call this flying? Beautiful. Specs 10:04 pm I feel like an angry, flaming, whatever-that-is is vastly more dangerous than one that isn't on fire. Windchill 10:04 pm It's slightly more coordinated than I am. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:05 pm *They can commiserate soon. He is open to talking about these creatures outside of movie nights as well...* Windchill 10:05 pm I can appreciate its level of aggression. Whirl 10:05 pm It's a pretty neat little guy. Windchill 10:05 pm *That siren sounds like a man yelling.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:05 pm \\LISTEN, IF SOMETHIN' DON'T DIE BEIN' ON FIRE, IT'S MORE DANGEROUS ON FIRE. ALWAYS.\\ Shockwave 10:05 pm *it is beautiful. though he preferred it slightly when their point of origin was not due to a defective android* Whirl 10:05 pm Aww, it thought the big claw was an opponent. Precious. Windchill 10:06 pm *Some things are better left a mystery.* Specs 10:06 pm It's so angry and innocent. Windchill 10:06 pm Aw... FakeProwl 10:06 pm That's two decapitations so far. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:06 pm *Soft huff* Tarantulas 10:07 pm "Fine"? *snickering* Specs 10:08 pm I suppose you could call it exceptional. Exceptionally bad. Windchill 10:08 pm Did they even bring a real doctor? ItsyBitsySpyers 10:08 pm [[It is a musical.]] \\IT'S A HORROR MOVIE.\\ [[...It is both.]] Windchill 10:08 pm *He's not convinced at this point.* All around me are familiar faces... ItsyBitsySpyers 10:09 pm *...One moment. There were several eggs open. Where are the others?* Windchill 10:09 pm *Hums softly right next to Whirl's head, sorry bro.* Shockwave 10:10 pm *does not trust that the film is 'over,' either* Specs 10:10 pm ((IT'S THE DRINKY BIRD)) Windchill 10:10 pm Oh my god, I thought the red dots on the back of the chairs were eyes. Whirl 10:10 pm ((YEEE)) FakeProwl 10:10 pm ... We never explicitly saw David die, did we? Specs 10:10 pm ((IT'S BACK FROM PROMETHEUS)) Windchill 10:10 pm We didn't. Specs 10:10 pm We did not. Whirl 10:10 pm Nope. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:10 pm [[No. We did not.]] Whirl 10:10 pm And they looked identical. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:11 pm [[Why?]] Not that he doesn't have some idea. Specs 10:11 pm And Walter has a self-repair function. Windchill 10:11 pm So it was said. It got the Lobe guy? Huh. Tarantulas 10:12 pm Oh Primus, really? Specs 10:12 pm *gapes a cackle* What???? Windchill 10:12 pm *Blinks.* Whirl 10:12 pm PFFT. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:12 pm [[They likely rescued him too late.]] Shockwave 10:12 pm ((MY FAV SCENE LMAO)) FakeProwl 10:12 pm ... Well, THAT'S the position you want to be in when a killer genetic experiment attacks. Windchill 10:12 pm *Waggles his brows against Whirl's neck.* Shockwave 10:12 pm (OMFG)) Windchill 10:12 pm This one grew fast. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:13 pm [[It does know how to make an entrance.]] Specs 10:13 pm That's. Oh, Goddess. Shockwave 10:13 pm *...right through the mouth. with its mouth. he chuffs quietly* Whirl 10:13 pm *gives his head a little shake and nudges Windchill's away* Easy on the neck. Specs 10:13 pm *the dragon can't decide whether to laugh or hyperventilate again* FakeProwl 10:13 pm ((... imagine if they'd still been kissing)) ItsyBitsySpyers 10:13 pm ((omfg)) Whirl 10:13 pm ((jfsfksed)) ItsyBitsySpyers 10:13 pm ((talk about getting tongue)) Windchill 10:13 pm *Snorts, and gives Whirl some space finally.* Tarantulas 10:13 pm (( sfgdfs Whirl 10:13 pm *shoulder is fine, but his neck is ticklish* Windchill 10:13 pm She looks so done with this. Specs 10:14 pm Wouldn't you be? Windchill 10:14 pm *He knows about your neck, thanks.* I would, but I wouldn't be on this idiot mission to begin with, so. What the hell is that. Whirl 10:14 pm Alien-o-vision. Windchill 10:15 pm Looks like it has worms. Shockwave 10:15 pm ((aww is al coming back i was still trying to write a response)) Specs 10:15 pm How'd it pick up parasites? Windchill 10:15 pm Lots of teeny, tiny worms. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:15 pm ((he's gotta sleep, be up at 4am - he will ping shockwave on tumblr sometime soon)) Windchill 10:15 pm What a kisser. Shockwave 10:15 pm ((ok, tell him sorry i got distracted by the movie now that my wife is here lol)) Windchill 10:15 pm *Much better than that David guy.* Whirl 10:15 pm Boy it can't control that drooling, though. Major flaw with these things. Windchill 10:16 pm Oh, really? Specs 10:16 pm It's just very excited to kiss. Shockwave 10:16 pm *is it though* Whirl 10:16 pm Partly why I rank those other guys above them a bit. Windchill 10:16 pm *Flutters his eyelashes coyly.* Whirl 10:16 pm The uh... hunter fellas. From the other movie we saw. Windchill 10:16 pm I like the drool. It's gross. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:16 pm [[The Predators?]] Whirl 10:16 pm You WOULD, you drool-machine. yeah! Those guys. Windchill 10:17 pm *Tosses his head flippantly.* Shockwave 10:17 pm ((lol these callbacks)) FakeProwl 10:17 pm *snrk. It just. punched through with its mouth.* Windchill 10:17 pm Oops. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:18 pm *He's done similar in the distant past.* FakeProwl 10:18 pm *good to know, because that's exactly what prowl is currently trying to visualize.* Shockwave 10:18 pm *these films would have you believe the inner mouth is the strongest part of the organism* Specs 10:18 pm *not all of us have impressive mouths, soundwave. no bragging.* Windchill 10:18 pm She's fine. Shockwave 10:18 pm *some dont have a mouth at all* Windchill 10:19 pm Or well, as close to fine as one can be after that. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:19 pm *He has enough mouth to make up for three of you. It's all right.* Whirl 10:19 pm *bless u Soundwave* Windchill 10:19 pm And now they're going to leave, what a waste of time and lives. Morons. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:19 pm [[Why would they stay? They do not know how many creatures there could be on the loose.]] Windchill 10:20 pm They wouldn't. They shouldn't have gone to begin with, is my point. Tarantulas 10:20 pm His jaw hasn't healed... gghh Windchill 10:20 pm Oh. Whirl 10:21 pm Pfft. Specs 10:21 pm Oh dear. Windchill 10:21 pm I like that inflatable pillow though. If it were me, my head would pop it. *Why is that code even in the system?* *He must have added it at some point.* Um. Shockwave 10:22 pm ((UM)) Specs 10:22 pm Well. Windchill 10:22 pm Neat, but how? Shockwave 10:22 pm ((UM????)) FakeProwl 10:22 pm ... Pffff. Whirl 10:22 pm Is that how eggs are laid? Windchill 10:22 pm He looks so proud. I assure you, Whirl, it is not. Shockwave 10:23 pm (( a proud mother)) Specs 10:23 pm That is definitely not how it is done. Windchill 10:23 pm At least...not any that I know of. Tarantulas 10:23 pm *tara's frozen. oop. give him a moment* Whirl 10:23 pm I'll take your word for it. Windchill 10:23 pm I can't rule out weird unknown alien biology entirely, now. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:23 pm *Soundwave's head doesn't move, but he's side-eyeing Tarantulas. He's pretty sure that's not how Tarantulas does it though.* Tarantulas 10:24 pm It's - not unheard of. Whirl 10:24 pm Not a bad movie, but all in all, I like the origin story of the other one more. Windchill 10:24 pm That was...something. Better than Titanic. Whirl 10:24 pm So wait--some things do? *looks to Tarantulas* Ha! Yeah, it was definitely better than titanic. Shockwave 10:24 pm *also looks at Tarantulas* Windchill 10:25 pm *He liked the aliens.* Specs 10:25 pm That was fun! *stretches wings and legs, and carefully glides off of Whirl's shoulder* I'll try to show for next time. *she is NOT staying here for egg talk* *no thanks* Goodnight, everyone! ItsyBitsySpyers 10:25 pm [[Goodnight.]] Windchill 10:25 pm *But the entire film was run through by really dumb and irresponsible decisions, it's kind of a detractor.* Bye! Whirl 10:25 pm Seeya, dragon! Tarantulas 10:26 pm Some organisms - they have more of a saccular internal structure and utilize the same opening for multiple functions, let's put it that way. Windchill 10:26 pm Like...a cloaca? Tarantulas 10:27 pm Nono, with the additional function of ingestion as well Windchill 10:27 pm *This song is distracting him a little.* Whirl 10:27 pm Out the mouth still seems a little weird, to be honest, but what do I know. I've never laid an egg in my life. Windchill 10:28 pm Consider yourself lucky. Whirl 10:28 pm Soundwave, if you're taking requests? ItsyBitsySpyers 10:28 pm [[...It seems convenient. Organics take in nutrients through their mouths. Their spawn require it. Why not keep them where the nutrients will be?]] Whirl 10:28 pm Well, if they were protected against the fuel breakdown process. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:28 pm [[What is the request?]] Whirl 10:29 pm Fuel tank's not exactly a quiet, safe place. Tarantulas 10:29 pm That's - yes, what Whirl said. Whirl 10:29 pm I'm pretty sure I asked it once before, but--Come A Little Bit Closer. Jay & the Americans. FakeProwl 10:29 pm organic traffic flow is designed to go in only one direction—in through the top, out through the bottom. Tarantulas 10:29 pm Not ALL organic traffic flow, mind you ItsyBitsySpyers 10:29 pm [[When this is done.]]

//Gettin' your mush on, huh.// Whirl 10:30 pm ...which raises some interesting questions about Killer. I've never seen it poop. FakeProwl 10:30 pm Most organic traffic flow. Whirl 10:30 pm Pfft! it's a good song, mush or no mush. Windchill 10:30 pm I heard that there's these, like, worms, that only have mouths. FakeProwl 10:30 pm I suspect it's easier to intake nutrients at the top and eject eggs from the bottom for the same reason. Whirl 10:30 pm And all these oldies brought it to mind. FakeProwl 10:30 pm Imagine a one-lane street that tries to accommodate traffic going both directions. Windchill 10:30 pm *This guy's head bobs are distracting.* Whirl 10:31 pm Also--it's totally a 60s song. FakeProwl 10:31 pm *Prowl might not know scrap about biology but by god is he going to try to use every tool at his disposal to try to understand it, up to and including traffic cop experience.* Tarantulas 10:31 pm Human lungs function that way, Prowl. It's not entirely unheard of ItsyBitsySpyers 10:31 pm //Yeah, I guess so.// Whirl 10:31 pm ((real reason: i re-watched GotG 2 today and the song is on my mind 😎 )) Windchill 10:31 pm (( Good job. )) Shockwave 10:32 pm @Whirl: The barnacles in my care produce very little waste product. I believe they are simply highly efficient. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:32 pm //How come he don't punch Bad Man Jose, I don't get. Or jus' ask if sharin's okay.// FakeProwl 10:32 pm *stares at Tarantulas* ............ Right. So they do. Whirl 10:32 pm @Shockwave: Huh. Well. ...asked and answered! Maybe the singer's not really big and strong. Doesn't think he'll win the fight. Tarantulas 10:32 pm If you're truly curious how Killer works, Whirl, I'm more than willing to study it more closely, hyeh. Or its offspring, possibly Whirl 10:33 pm No good answer for the sharing thing, though. *shrugs* You can, as long as you don't hurt it. Ha, didn't you hear? Fresh shipment of babies. Courtesy of Rumble and Frenzy's tender care. FakeProwl 10:33 pm @Tarantulas «Why DON'T their lungs have separate entrances and exits?» ItsyBitsySpyers 10:33 pm \\I AIN'T HAD *NOTHIN* TO DO WITH IT\\ Windchill 10:34 pm *Snorts.* It had MORE babies? ItsyBitsySpyers 10:34 pm //It had MORE babies.// Tarantulas 10:34 pm @Prowl: «Because one-lane traffic doesn't work the same with gases as it does with solids, that's why. Diffusion and only partial exhalation, mostly.» Whirl 10:35 pm Yep. Windchill 10:35 pm Wow. Whirl 10:35 pm It's only ever done it when THEY'RE watching it. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:35 pm //Maybe there's two of 'em in there.// Windchill 10:35 pm I'm impressed. FakeProwl 10:35 pm @Tarantulas «But most air circulation systems go in one end and out the other. Ventilation systems don't backwash air to their source.» Tarantulas 10:36 pm Oho, might as well toss one my way before it gets /attached/ Whirl 10:36 pm I'm pretty sure Killer can just. Auto-propagate. Sure. Like I said--gotta promise not to hurt it. Tarantulas 10:37 pm @Prowl «The air generally has to stay in the lungs longer than prompt expulsion would allow, I'd wager. I'm hypothesizing at this point. But - yes, the balance of O2 and CO2 is very precarious in human systems.» ItsyBitsySpyers 10:38 pm *Frenzy makes gagging noises at the music. Does the Boss gotta. How come they never play heavy metal in here? Next time he's taking over the speakers.* Shockwave 10:39 pm *some people find human screaming to be offensive to the audials, Frenzy* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:39 pm *Some people oughta hear HIM.* Shockwave 10:39 pm *unless of course, they're screaming because an interesting creature has just skewered their reproductive partner through the mouth* Windchill 10:39 pm *He loves metal.* Whirl 10:40 pm *snickers; it's obvious Soundwave is in a Mood, which is frankly hilarious* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:40 pm *Ohhh, it's not what it sounds like. For once.* Tarantulas 10:40 pm Well then - I duly and sincerely promise not to harm any of Killer's offspring that come under my care. Sufficient? FakeProwl 10:40 pm @Tarantulas «Hmm. I suppose it makes a bigger difference when their system is that small.» ItsyBitsySpyers 10:41 pm *Soundwave wonders if the aliens have a sense of humor? The mouth thing does seem like the kind of playfulness he would imagine himself.* Whirl 10:41 pm Yep. And if I find out you're lying, I will personally come cave your face in. FakeProwl 10:41 pm *for what it's worth, prowl's currently operating under the same assumption as whirl.* Whirl 10:41 pm But I'll see if I can find one. I set 'em loose in the wild. FakeProwl 10:41 pm *this is a WHOLE lot of sappy songs, soundwave.* Tarantulas 10:41 pm In the WILD? Whereabouts? Whirl 10:42 pm Cybertron. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:42 pm *He knows what he's doing.* Whirl 10:42 pm *good job Whirl, that location is not VAGUE AT ALL* Tarantulas 10:42 pm *good enough for tarantulas though* If you don't mind giving me the coordinates, I can drop by and pick one up myself, save you the trouble ItsyBitsySpyers 10:43 pm *Rumble rubs his forehead. Look, there's like... okay, there's no better music there. But Primus, couldn't he search some up?* Whirl 10:43 pm *shrugs* Sure thing. But remember--they're ALL Killer's offspring. Tarantulas 10:44 pm Surely, yes. Whirl 10:44 pm I'll see if I can... uh. Remember. * pause*

...I'll get back to you. Tarantulas 10:44 pm *squints, then snickers a little* Shockwave 10:45 pm *doesn't take much note of the musical selection, himself. still pondering the film* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:46 pm *Rumble pings Soundwave with a request for something different. 70s rock? C'mon. Please. Anything else.*

*Soundwave turns to look straight at him and... plays this.* Shockwave 10:46 pm *in fairness, they regularly play videos of alternates dancing around, and -that- doesn't mean anything either* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:47 pm *Rumble jumps up and throws his hands in the air*

//I CAN SAY IT MY OWN FRAGGIN' SELF, Y'KNOW!// Windchill 10:47 pm *Blinks slowly.* *He spaced out there, for a while.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:47 pm //................................................Uh.//

*He'll just. Sit. Down here. And look at the music video. That is a good music video.* Tarantulas 10:47 pm @Prowl «Small, yes, and focused less on heat expulsion and more on chemical diffusion.» Shockwave 10:47 pm *actually looks up at that outburst* Whirl 10:47 pm *drawn from his intense effort to remember where he left all of Killer's babies* Windchill 10:48 pm *The Wild Babies.* FakeProwl 10:48 pm *stares at Rumble* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:49 pm *And now, 70s rock. Rumble puts his face in his hands.* FakeProwl 10:49 pm *oh, hey, it's 70s rock!* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:50 pm //What're you all lookin' at.// Windchill 10:50 pm *He's not even looking.* Whirl 10:50 pm *shrugs and streeetches* Windchill 10:50 pm *Goes for Whirl's armpit with a claw.* FakeProwl 10:50 pm *quietly looks away.* Whirl 10:51 pm *there is a sudden and very loud squawk of static* Windchill 10:51 pm I'm sorry. I...had to. The opportunity was too much to pass up. Whirl 10:52 pm You can't just roll up on someone like that when they're stretching, jeez. *he's gonna hop up and eye Windchill warily* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:52 pm *...He punches the ground and growls, then pushes himself up and goes to storm up the stairwell.* Windchill 10:52 pm I'll behave, now. Whirl 10:52 pm ...*stage whisper* Which one of you guys did something to piss him off? Windchill 10:53 pm Armpit jabbing, *he raises a hand, he's solemnly swearing, see,* is not allowed. Lesson learned. Whirl 10:53 pm Also. ...if you're still doing requests. Now that we're on the 70s... Windchill 10:53 pm *His solemn hand raises higher.* It was me, I farted. Whirl 10:53 pm Dammit, Windchill. Windchill 10:53 pm I'm sorry. Whirl 10:53 pm Ahem--Stormbringer by Deep Purple'd go down real easy right about now. FakeProwl 10:54 pm @Soundwave «I also have a song selection to contribute.» ItsyBitsySpyers 10:55 pm *Soundwave nods to Whirl and pings Prowl an acknowledgment. Anyone else?* Shockwave 10:55 pm 'Electric Light Orchestra.' Windchill 10:56 pm *He'll pass, he's in trouble already.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:57 pm *And Shockwave gets a nod too. He assumes that means dealer's choice?* Whirl 10:57 pm *well, he's up, so he'll scuttle back over to the bar, to get drink #2* Shockwave 10:57 pm *indeed. he's not too picky and his mind's still audibly buzzing* Windchill 11:00 pm *Stretches, while Whirl is too far away to get him back.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:01 pm *Soundwave lifts his helm and looks over to the stairwell. There's an audible thunka-thunka-thunka and some swearing coming out of it.*

//You want me to do it!? I'll do it!//

*And in just a second, they'll all see the reason why.* Whirl 11:01 pm *leans on the bar and watches. Well, This should be good* FakeProwl 11:01 pm *guess where prowl's attention just went* Windchill 11:01 pm *That sounds dramatic, his ears perk.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:02 pm *Rumble comes out dragging a dead razor snake several times longer than he is tall and, for a long moment, glowers at the whole room.* Windchill 11:02 pm *Eyebrows try to float away.* Shockwave 11:02 pm ... *antennae are in a highly unusual position* FakeProwl 11:03 pm *okay. whatever it is, it involves a snake.* *either that, or an extremely large worm.* Shockwave 11:04 pm *...he hopes the snake was killed humanely or for good reason* Whirl 11:04 pm *peers* Windchill 11:04 pm *What is the meaning of this?* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:04 pm *He now marches over to Whirl and half-drops, half-hurls the first couple of meters of it at Whirl's feet, planting his fists on his hips and scowling up at him.*

//ASK ME OUT ALREADY, YEAH? What do I gotta do? Wear a neon sign sayin' "Hot For Whirl, Inquire Within"!? Primus fraggin' below!// Windchill 11:05 pm *Guffaws.* Tarantulas 11:05 pm *is utterly mystified* Whirl 11:05 pm *rears back a little when the snake his thrown, but to his credit, does not step away. Looks at the snake. Looks at Rumble. Looks at the snake again* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:05 pm *Soundwave just crosses one leg over the other and laces his hands together on his lap.* FakeProwl 11:05 pm *oh. well.* Whirl 11:05 pm *intelligently* ...uh, what? FakeProwl 11:06 pm @Soundwave «... Is the snake a courtship thing.» Shockwave 11:06 pm *oh. its a courtship thing* Windchill 11:06 pm *He's gonna watch.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:06 pm @Prowl: [[Affirmative. Kaon flavor.]] Windchill 11:06 pm *He's been hitting on Whirl for years, maybe he'll learn a thing or two.* FakeProwl 11:07 pm @Soundwave «... Should I be getting you a snake, or are other animals acceptable.» Whirl 11:07 pm ((i just imagined prowl hunting, dressed as Van Pelt from Jumanji)) Windchill 11:07 pm (( Beautiful. )) ItsyBitsySpyers 11:08 pm *Rumble points at the snake, at himself, and then at Whirl.*

//Me. You. Fightin' stuff 'n gettin' cozy. You in or not?// @Prowl: [[He prefers other methods.]] Windchill 11:08 pm *Huffs a little.* Whirl 11:08 pm *give him a moment to process this* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:08 pm *And just for good measure.*

@Shockwave: [[...Do not worry. He prefers other methods.]] FakeProwl 11:09 pm *acknowledging ping. good.* Whirl 11:10 pm Okay, I--wait. Okay. *points at Rumble* You. Are asking me--*points at himself* Specifically. Me, to...?

Well. Uh. *very slowly looks up at the room, suddenly very keenly aware of everyone's presence; I hope all of you are enjoying this moment of Peak Whirl Flabbergastedness* Windchill 11:10 pm *Cups his mouth with his hands, and stage whispers.* Do it. Whirl 11:11 pm *very carefully puts his foot down on the snake and hunkers down to better speak to Rumble* Short answer is, well, yeah, of course. Hell, yeah. Long answer is--can we... go somewhere, maybe? To talk? *HE'S GOING TO REMEMBER THAT, WINDCHILL* *...well not in a bad way* Windchill 11:11 pm *He's trying to be supportive you frick.* Whirl 11:12 pm *exactly* Windchill 11:12 pm *Good enough then.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:13 pm *The scowl slowly brightens into THE BIGGEST GRIN. Frenzy hoots in the background and gets an obscene gesture for his trouble.*

//Frag yeah! I got this spot coupla miles away.// *Oh, wait. The trophy.* //...You're carryin' it this time.// Windchill 11:14 pm *Well, if those two are leaving, he's gonna be left here by himself.* Whirl 11:14 pm *okay,a fair bit of the shock and awkwardness is eased away by that reaction; Whirl snorts and finishes bending down to grab the snake in his claws* You got it.

*straightens and slings it casually over one shoulder* G'night, losers. Windchill 11:14 pm *Time...to bother someone else.* *Applauds. Good show.* Good night, suckers. Whirl 11:14 pm *points at Windchill. YOU* Windchill 11:14 pm *Who, him?* *He pauses in his clapping.* Whirl 11:15 pm *points at his eye, then and Windchill. Watchin u* Tarantulas 11:15 pm *quiet snickering, but his lab timer just went off, he'll have to ask what happened later. nudges at prowl with his helm, pulls back* I'm afraid I'm heading out. Science calls. Windchill 11:15 pm *Is this about the armpit poke.* Shockwave 11:16 pm @Soundy: <<I was not worried. Your preferred methods have already been made relatively clear.>> Whirl 11:16 pm *it's about a lot of things. He'll bob his helm one last time at everyone, and then gesture for Rumble to lead the way* Windchill 11:16 pm *Okay, bye then vague gesture man.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:16 pm *Oh, good. He'd hate to wake up and find a bitbear in his club.*

[[Goodnight, Tarantulas.]] FakeProwl 11:16 pm *helm tap.* Evening. Windchill 11:17 pm *Wait.* *How can he ask Tarantulas a Legit Science Question if he leaves?* *Ah, well.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:17 pm *Rumble marches out puffed up like a microwaved marshmellow. He can yell at the Boss later. Time to go TALK.* Tarantulas 11:17 pm *his comm's always open, even to you, windchill* Windchill 11:18 pm *Yeah, he usually gets snubbed when he tries the comms.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:18 pm @Shockwave: [[...You do not require razor snakes, do you? He had hoped CNA samples would suffice. They are easier to transport.]] Windchill 11:18 pm *We'll see.* Tarantulas 11:18 pm *a faux-smooch to the top of prowl's helm and a wave in the waves' direction, and he's off* Windchill 11:19 pm They're gonna frick, I'll bet. *Crosses his legs, casually.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:19 pm \\PFFFFFF.\\ [[Must you.]] Whirl 11:20 pm ((HAHAHA)) ItsyBitsySpyers 11:20 pm [[FRENZY.]] *Said Soundwave, sounding suspiciously like his deployer for a minute.* *He cackles and darts upstairs.* Windchill 11:20 pm *He shrugs. It's an honest assessment.* FakeProwl 11:20 pm *winces* Shockwave 11:21 pm @Soundy: <<If I -must- be given a razor snake, I prefer living specimens. But no. It is not required.>> ItsyBitsySpyers 11:21 pm @Prowl: [[...His apologies. It is - almost an automatic reflex.]] @Shockwave: [[...A hatchling, perhaps.]] FakeProwl 11:22 pm @Soundwave «Forgiven. It was just—unexpected.» ItsyBitsySpyers 11:24 pm *Small nod.* Shockwave 11:25 pm *has 13 hatchlings already. one more wouldnt hurt* *he'd have to keep it out of Predacon gobbling range* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:27 pm *That's what having Buzzsaw build a clean but beautiful looking aquarium is for. At least until it gets big enough to outgrow that.* Windchill 11:28 pm *He stretches again, since Whirl isn't here to give him his armpit-poking comeuppance.* I'm out, I think. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:28 pm [[Very well. He'll tell Rumble to let Whirl know.]] Windchill 11:29 pm *He hungers, it's time to FEED.* *Also, his friend has VANISHED.* *So it's double time. He stands, and shakes himself off.* 'Night, suckers. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:31 pm [[Goodnight.]] Windchill 11:31 pm *He waves, and steps out.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:32 pm *Soundwave twists and bobs his helm near Shockwave's in a request for permission to bunt.*

@Shockwave: [[He hopes the design modifications seen tonight will be taken into consideration...?]] Shockwave 11:42 pm ((ahh im back sorry)) Shockwave 11:44 pm *nods* Did any particular features capture your interest? ItsyBitsySpyers 11:46 pm @Shockwave: [[Longer dorsal tubes, better quadrupedal running proportions. He will need the ability to move quickly if he ever loses air superiority.]] Shockwave 11:49 pm "Agreed. Though I would suggest that the tubing position remain adjustable, to prevent the larger design from interfering with your ability to navigate small spaces." ItsyBitsySpyers 11:52 pm *Ready nod. That would be delightful.*

@S: [[He will come test out potential layouts before the week is up, if that is all right.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 11:53 pm *Get some loose pipes and see how they'd work against his current frame, perhaps.* Shockwave 11:56 pm *antennae take on an upright, anticipatory angle* Yes. I would like to discuss the film's contents in further detail, as well.

*that would be ridiculous, soundwave. cute, but ridiculous. they possess -holographic technology- and malleable mental landscapes, you know.* Yesterday ItsyBitsySpyers 11:58 pm *...Oh. Yes. Mindscapes. Of course! That would also work, though it'd take a bit of fiddling to make sure they got the internal rules and weights right.*

*Well, no matter. They can figure it out then. There's that bunt for now.*

[[Then we shall. Until then...?]] Shockwave 12:01 am *bunted, fingers twitch* ...Yes. I shall return to my laboratory. Shockwave 12:02 am ((*fingerguns out for tonight?* sorry if i kept you waiting)) ItsyBitsySpyers 12:03 am *Soundwave pings acknowledgment and gives the plating edge he's got against his cheek a good nuzzling.*

[[Rest well. And may your work progress smoothly.]] ((roger dodger! and no problem <3)) Shockwave 12:05 am *brushes a few fingers fondly over Soundwave's forearm, extricates himself from the couch, and leaves* FakeProwl 12:06 am ... Now I know where you got that costume. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:09 am *Soundwave looks over to Prowl at last and scoots out of Prowl's spot, tapping the space. Do come sit.*

[[That was Buzzsaw's work.]] FakeProwl 12:10 am *a flicker, and he's back in his usual spot.* Then Shockwave's helping you improve it? ItsyBitsySpyers 12:10 am *Finally focusing on the fact that HE'S BEEN TALKING TO PROWL LIKE HE'S MEANT TO TALK TO OTHER BOTS. Please hold while he wraps himself up in this fact and pulls it tight.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:11 am *Okay. Okay, he's - he's nervous about this, especially after accidentally shouting, but he went through the whole movie without doing anything else wrong. This will be fine. Increased attention is safer attention.*

[[...In a manner of speaking.]] FakeProwl 12:13 am Oh? ItsyBitsySpyers 12:17 am [[Mm. His spark will not support his current alt mode forever.]] Flight is strenuous, Prowl. And so is admitting this, but it'll at least let him test reactions. [[It is - an interesting idea for the distant future.]]

*Definitely watching for any signs of repulsion.* FakeProwl 12:19 am *Blank stare at Soundwave. Then blank stare at wall.* ... Apparently I'm into people who want to turn into aliens. I didn't realize that was part of my type. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:20 am *...Slow, quiet huffing.* [[You would prefer an octopus?]] FakeProwl 12:21 am *Snort.* I'd miss the teeth. *DID HE SAY THAT. Clamps mouth shut. fff.* *Definitely going to keep staring at that wall.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:22 am *Tiny brighten. Yes, Prowl said that. And Soundwave deeply appreciated it.*

[[Then it pleases him to keep them.]] *Pause.* [[And share them.]] FakeProwl 12:22 am *Nod nod.* FakeProwl 12:23 am *RIGHT, moving on from that little... that.* Is that to be your alt-mode, then? Or will you be a monoformer? ItsyBitsySpyers 12:29 am [[An alt mode. There are some things they are not built to do. And he is not an organic. He...]] Oh, this is painful to think. [[He simply admires this one's appearance.]] *Don't tell anyone. His credit with the Decepticons is low enough.* FakeProwl 12:32 am *a nod. so prowl gathered, from the fact that he keeps showing movies about them. ... and dresses as them.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:32 am *Prowl went as a minicon. Does he want to be one?* FakeProwl 12:33 am *he wouldn't mind shrinking.* *anyway he didn't "go as a minicon" so much as attempt to hide from the crowd.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:35 am *Fair, fair. But no shrinking and asking to become his deployer. Holograms don't dock and Soundwave isn't going to pop his spark chamber open.*

*And now it's Soundwave's turn to fidget. He wasn't expecting to have to explain this. It went... a hundred times better than expected, but it's a little. It's.*

*Please let Prowl think of something else, Primus. Mercy.* FakeProwl 12:35 am ... The, er. Costume you wore. It was... very, uh... *words, words, words.* The shape fit. You. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:37 am *...........Oh. Well, that's not so bad either. Mercy after this, maybe.*

[[...Thank you. It - did serve him well, that night.]] [[But he does not need to remind you of that.]] FakeProwl 12:38 am Hff. No. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:39 am *Little shoulder tremble. And now they're back to the teeth. Well done, them.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:42 am *If Primus and Prowl won't show it, he will. Prompt, prompt.*

[[Now. He recalls an incomplete request?]] FakeProwl 12:43 am Ah. Yes. You did—I did—I mean, er. Yes. FakeProwl 12:45 am *Damn. He'd planned this out to be smooth. Instead he'd been sticking his foot in his mouth and awkwardly squeezing out half-compliments for the past five minutes. How does he get back on track.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:45 am *Oh, stammering. This will probably be interesting.* *Would Prowl like a hand? He finds that helps sometimes.* FakeProwl 12:46 am *no, no, he's got this prepared. he just has to get himself on script.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:46 am *Very well. Soundwave will be as patient for Prowl as Prowl has been for him, lately.* FakeProwl 12:47 am *OKAY. SUAVENESS. SUAVENESS NOW. FLIPPING THE SUAVE SWITCH.* FakeProwl 12:50 am *He says, very coolly and casually,* First, you'll have to sit in my lap. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:51 am *Well, THAT briefly uncorks a bottle of mental imagery.* *Soundwave quickly jams the stopper back into place and leans on it. Sitting on Prowl's lap. Yes. He'll just - do that.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:53 am *Which involves hesitating because he doesn't know which direction, before deciding Prowl's hologram is sturdy enough they won't topple forward if it's face-to-face and gracefully rearranging himself to suit.* FakeProwl 12:54 am *Oh. Prowl was expecting sideways. Never mind, never mind—the position doesn't actually matter, he's not going to let it throw him off.* FakeProwl 12:56 am Right. *He laces his hands behind Soundwave's back. So casually you'd never guess that it's a deliberate, planned part of Prowl's presentation, except for the fact that he definitely stopped speaking until he'd finished doing it.* I thought this, was... thematically appropriate. Considering recent conversations we've had. And, us in general. *Inward wince. Should've worked on that last sentence. Keep going.* ... Here. (( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Znze-oR0-I )) ItsyBitsySpyers 12:59 am *Soundwave wiggles a little, but only to let Prowl's hands slip behind the guard over his lower back. A planned part it may be, but he's not gonna complain. At all. Especially if Prowl is trying to talk to him the way he understands best.* This message has been removed. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:01 am *...Oh. Oh, he knows this song. But this is - it's a cover? He pays close attention.* *...All he wants and needs, in his arms. Like Soundwave is.*

*...That cinder digs a bit deeper.* FakeProwl 1:02 am *Very slightly—but pointedly—tightens embrace at "here in my arms." As if, somehow, the meaning wasn't obvious.* *... Is it too much? Now he's worried it's too much. Maybe—no, no, he finished worrying it was too much three days ago. Now he waits. He can't take back the song now.* FakeProwl 1:05 am *RIGHT. There we go. He's going to awkwardly stare somewhere around Soundwave's shoulder as he waits for a reaction.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:08 am *And the part about speech breaking vows. And both pleasure and pain being involved, which is truer than most people are willing to admit.*

*And words being - what did it call them? Trivial? Structured sentences, meaningless. The song title is LITERALLY "Enjoy the Silence".*

*Well. He won't transfer any words, then. And no coherent thoughts.*

*Just a swell of - of - intense feelings, to use the song's phrase, and Soundwave sliding his arms behind Prowl to crush him close.* *Bumper be damned.* FakeProwl 1:13 am *Oh! Good. Prowl did good. He attempts to return the wave of feelings with one of his own, but isn't quite sure how to pick and send one, so it ends up being a confused blup consisting of relief and something that might be translatable into several pings of affection.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:14 am *That confused blup is, quite honestly, charming as Pit. Maybe Prowl will let him try to teach how to do things some day, but for now, this is... more honest. And he likes that.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:18 am *Curious nudge and an overhead shot of himself sitting on Prowl's lap, taken just a moment ago. This, unfortunately, requires him to 'speak'.*

[[...It is all right to stay here?]] FakeProwl 1:18 am Oh. Yes. Absolutely. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:20 am *Nod. NOW he turns to sit sideways, in order to better fit his legs on the couch and curl around the side of Prowl's chest instead of battling it from the front.* FakeProwl 1:22 am *There, that's more like what he expected. He shifts his arms to accommodate the new position.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:24 am [[...He likes your taste in music. He would listen to more, if you found it.]] FakeProwl 1:26 am *Prowl is pretty sure that's high praise out of Soundwave.* When I find more that's fitting, I will. *... On the other hand maybe Soundwave likes ALL tastes in music. Hm.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:27 am *Little bit high praise, little bit implying he would love to hear more of what Prowl had to tell him, little bit suggesting he enjoys these musical messages of theirs.*

*Soundwave nods and buries his face in Prowl's shoulder.* FakeProwl 1:28 am *THAT'S new. And nice. Prowl likes that.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:32 am *It's a good shoulder. Sometimes he wishes Prowl would smell like metal, or be warm, or make all the little sounds, or leave paint and not static - in short, that he could have the real thing, green and all - but it's what he has for now, so he'll take it.* FakeProwl 1:34 am *There are SOME sounds. Preprogrammed to play under the right circumstances. But it's closer to a very advanced video game soundtrack than to a real person's systems.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:34 am *And he's Soundwave. He has no trouble identifying the differences.* FakeProwl 1:38 am *Well, Prowl's body might not be here—but PROWL is, and he's quietly delighted that Soundwave is on his lap and liked his musical offering.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:39 am *Prowl's going to be even more delighted in a moment. Soundwave's mask is raised and he's taking to teasingly prodding the shoulder with tongue and mlah to see how long before Prowl notices the sensation.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:42 am *Content spymasters are often quietly playful ones, as has been demonstrated on past occasions. At present, he's entertained by the idea of making his chair wiggle beneath him.* FakeProwl 1:43 am *For the record: longer than it would in a normal body, but not very long at all. Speaking of the artificial soundtrack: here, have an engine rev.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:48 am *WELL. That'd be hard to mistake even if they were still communicating via text.*

*But he supposes a wriggle is a wriggle however it's earned, so onward his glossa travels, licking a line around the shoulder's edge before stopping to nibble on a corner.*

[][][]Do you want to play a game?[][][] FakeProwl 1:50 am *Immediately:* Yes. *Less immediately:* What kind of game? ItsyBitsySpyers 1:55 am *Quiet huff. Soundwave reaches for a cube from the bar with his feelers and motions to the top of Prowl's head with it. He won't set it up there unless he's allowed.*

[[It is called "finding out if Soundwave can make you spill this".]] FakeProwl 1:56 am *Prowl's optics brighten. A lot.* The rules? ItsyBitsySpyers 2:08 am [[You make yourself comfortable. He then balances this on your head - or some other sufficiently challenging location - and does what he safely can to dislodge it without moving you himself.]] *Key: safely. That means no scaring Prowl or seizing his mind and forcing him to drop the cube.* [[Teasing, amusing, bribing - simple things. You lose when even a single drop falls over the side.]]

[[Timed or untimed. Your choice, as is what happens if he wins. Or if you win.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 2:11 am *It is worth noting that the cube is fairly full.* FakeProwl 2:14 am *Looks at the cube contemplatively for a moment.* ... Shoulder. There's no flat surface on my head. Even if we get it perfectly balanced, the mere act of talking would be enough to dislodge it. THAT challenge can wait for another night. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:15 am *Only if Prowl talks out loud. But, he doesn't know how to work around this yet, so, very well.*

[[Is that an agreement?]] FakeProwl 2:16 am It is. Fifteen minutes for the first round so we can both get the hang of it and see if we like it, move up from there? ItsyBitsySpyers 2:18 am *Nod.*

[[Agreed. But if he may make a suggestion?]] Vent against Prowl's shoulder. [[Changing venues. It would be... awkward, for Rumble to return to this.]] FakeProwl 2:20 am HFF—! ... Agreed. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:23 am [[Good. He'll hear plenty over his playlist choices as it is.]] Soundwave pops a bridge to life behind himself and starts to stand up carefully, so as not to leave Prowl's arms. [[Come.]] *He knows the avatar can just flicker on somewhere else, but damn it, this is a comfortable spot and he'd prefer not to lose it.* FakeProwl 2:26 am *Oh, is he being dragged along? Then follows~*

32: tell us a story of something that happened to you after 3AM when you were with friends.

Well there were two funny things.

the first one was this massive sleepover party, and the minute the lights went off with all these adolescents sardined on the floor (teens but like, everyone was just chilling nothing nsfw happening), the marshmallow war began

it’s 3am and people are being PELTED with the goddamn things in the dark it was chaos.

the other time, i’d gone to a party thing, put up a tent to stay over like the others and this other girl at the party i’d just befriended (along with her highly anxious friend i managed to calm down) was not sure how to get home and i’m like… stay in my tent i have space it’s chill

we’re sleeping in jeans bc that seemed like a good idea at the time (it was NOT)

everyone’s STARVING. like, no real FOOD was at this party (New Years party?) we had chips and softdrink and that was it… and i dunno if you know this, but no amount of like, chicken-flavoured chips will fill up the aching hollow in your stomach for Real Food

so we’re talking bc we’re awake, relative strangers who are starving together in a tent they’re intending to share the night in, and we get on to SUPERNATURAL

i loved the show still it wasn’t the disaster it became, yet… and she admits that the S1 episode with the Wendigo freaked her out… and i’m like, hah, yeah, glad we’re not in a tent with woods around, huh? bc i am an asshole… that was pretty much where we were

and around the same time, the free-roaming chickens on the property are slowly moving past and making satanic noises, freaking her out more so i changed the topic to calm things down… but then, later on (waaaaaaaaay too early in the morning bc some of us had to pee early and it was Effort™ ) i get back to the tent to find a Chicken. In. The Tent.

looking at me like *I* was being the asshole here for intruding on her rest.

the other chick-a-dee is sleeping and im thinking ‘well fuck she’ll freak if the chicken’s randomly there when she wakes… and i try to subtly get the chicken out, and if you know chickens… you can understand how i failed

it was hilarious, and disastrous. 

-

33: what’s your fave pastry?

don’t know, really

-

34: tell us about the stuffed animal you kept as a kid. what is it called? what does it look like? do you still keep it?

Oh! I still have them.

There’s two, one called (creatively) Teddy, who wore a yellow onesie the Parental Unit made for him. My fondest memory of him was this time in kindy where we took our teddies in bc it was ‘Teddy Bear Picnic Day’, and during naptime, the teachers took the teddies and hid them around the playground…

We had to find them when we woke up.

Teddy had one foot in the top of the fence and looked like he was trying to leave/escape… i told the Parental Unit this story a thousand times over the years, the poor bugger.

The other one was made for me, after Parental Unit had a dream i’d be a girl. Her name is Heidi (you know, after the song? ‘Heidi, Heidi, Heidi ho, the elephant walks oh so slow’), she’s a pink elephant in a tutu and lovely and she and ted are hella safe for now.

Acts of Kindness for Kids

Looking for some Acts of Kindness for Kids? Here are 75 simple ideas that can be done by kids young and old to help make the world just a little bit happier!

Hi friends!

Wanted to pop in to talk about random acts of kindness for kids. A couple of weeks ago, I shared the photo above on Instagram with the following caption:

Lately after swimming lessons we’ve been passing a lady on the corner with a cardboard sign. A few weeks ago Squish asked what it said so I told him, “Homeless. 2 kids. Need help”

We talked about how sometimes bad things happen and people need a little extra help. And about how lucky we are to have all that we do because there are a lot of people out there with less.

One of the biggest lessons I want to teach my kids is to always help when they’re able whether it’s with their time, money or resources.

He seemed to understand but quickly moved on to another topic. This week we saw her again and totally unprompted, he said “Mom, we should get a snack for her and her kids.” And I couldn’t resist.

I recognize that there are people out there who hold signs like that as a scam. But in my heart I want to believe she’s a good person who just needs a little extra help right now.

So I turned around and we went into the store. He picked out some of his favorite crackers and I added granola bars and water and he marched across the parking lot and handed her the bag.

Talk to your kids. Have the hard conversations. Teach them to BE THE CHANGE. They’re listening.

In a world full of so much hate raise them to know the importance of being kind and helping others.

So here’s to hoping there’s a couple kids in my house learning this important lesson and a couple kids out there who are a little less hungry for the next few days.

  Today Squish heads back to school and thus our #100milesummer challenge comes to an end. We hit our goal 12 days early. That means we did 100 miles in 72 days. Squish walked, biked or scootered every single one all on his own. He learned to ride his bike without training wheels. Little Miss mastered her scooter and did several miles completely on her own as well. I’m so proud of them.

  Now that school is starting, we were looking for a new challenge. I realized that from the first day of school until Squish’s birthday is 75 days. After our random act of kindness after swimming lessons, I thought it might be fun to put together a list of 75 random acts of kindness so we could tackle one each day from no until his birthday.

  Here’s the list I came up with-

75 Acts of Kindness for Kids

1) Pick up trash (this could be at a park, on the side of the road, in a store) 2) Send someone a card 3) Donate some old clothes or toys 4) Leave drinks for the garbage men (especially if it’s hot out!) 5) Leave cards for your neighbors on a walk 6) Pay for the person behind you in line 7) Leave a dollar in vending machine 8) Tell someone’s manager what a good job they are doing (maybe you had a great server at a restaurant or cashier at the grocery store) 9) Send a postcard to a friend (even if you’re not traveling, grab one for your fav local spot!) 10) Make meal or snack for mom or dad 11) Leave nice chalk messages on a walk (ie Have a great day! or Thanks for being a great neighbor!) 12) Make blessing bags for the homeless (fill a bag with a reuseable water bottle, socks, underwear, gloves, tooth brush and other hygiene items they might need) 13) Give a stranger a compliment 14) Invite someone to play with you (at school, at the park, for a playdate) 15) Leave crayons/ coloring book somewhere (the auto repair shop, the pharmacy, a cart at the grocery store) 16) Drop off food for firefighters or police officers 17) Make a fabric scrap blanket to donate (get a few scraps of fabric, make cuts along the edges and tie them together) 18) Make cards for sick kids at the hospital 19) Decorate a jar to save spare change to donate to charity 20) Bring your neighbor’s trash bins up driveway after trash day 21) Leave positive, empowering notes on the mirror in public bathrooms (You’ve got a great smile or you look fabulous in that color, etc) 22) Decorate a bookmark to leave in a library book before you return it 23) Bring allergy-friendly treats to a holiday gathering 24) Teach someone something new 25) Collect pop tabs for Ronald McDonald 26) Leave sand toys at park 27) Decorate hand sanitizer for nurses or teachers 28) Leave a note and flower on a windshield telling someone to have a great day 29) Bake cookies for someone 30) Hold the door for someone 31) Write a thank you note for a coach or teacher 32) Color pictures for nursing home residents 33) Hide a note in daddy’s wallet or mommy’s purse 34) Offer to take a pic of a mom and her kids 35) Record an “I love you video” for grandparents 36) Make playdough for friends 37) Bake muffins for your parent’s coworkers 38) Hide a new Hot Wheels car on the playground for a kid to find 39) Put away carts in the parking lot 40) Make birthday boxes for a food panty- include things like cake mix, frosting, balloons, candles 41) Support a local farmer (shop for some fruits and veggies at the farmers market) 42) Plant wildflower seeds by the side of the road, in a parking lot etc 43) Leave a jar of bubbles at the park for others to play with 44) Make sandwiches for the homeless 45) Leave pennies for Sandy or a quarter in the cart at Aldi 46) Let a parent sleep in 47) Take out the trash 48) Do something nice for your siblings 49) Paint “I love you” rocks or tokens 50) Hide a joke for someone to find 51) Tell someone what you love most about them 52) Donate old towels to an animal shelter 53) Donate old books 54) Leave snacks for the package delivery people 55) Spread holiday cheer for an upcoming holiday (mini pumpkins with happy faces on them, heart stickers, christmas ornaments) 56) Adopt a family for Xmas (Salvation Army, Angel tree etc) 57) Leave an envelope of coupons in a shopping cart 58) Make a homemade birthday present for someone 59) Turn a jar or can from recycling into vase and fill with flowers for someone 60) Buy someone a cactus or succulent 61) Make a card for the bus driver 62) Help do the laundry 63) Bake treats for a new neighbor 64) Make a busy box to leave at a restaurant (Get a lunchbox and fill with crayons, stickers, small toys and other things to entertain kids while waiting) 65) Mail a hug (Stretch your arms out wide and trace your hands, arms and head.

I tried to keep these acts of kindness for kids pretty general but some of these are tailored slightly to our family, the time of year etc so feel free to adjust as needed. You could pick and choose from this list to make a smaller challenge if you wanted!

I wanted to turn our list into a book so we can bring us with it over the next couple of months and refer to it when we’re deciding which act of kindness to do. I also wanted to make it somewhat visual since my kids can’t read yet, so I found images that depict the acts to make it easier for Squish to identify the one he’s looking for or make a decision.

If you’re interested in that version, you can grab your free PDF copy below. To save paper, you can print 2 or 4 pages per page when you print it out and then just cut out all the pages and staple them into a book of 75 acts of kindness for kids! (Obnoxious amount of star stickers not included)

Jour 4: 27 Juin 2018

Today I woke up and had breakfast normale. Then I went to class. 

Photography was fine. We had that quiz and it was so hard I have no idea what I’m doing. She said it was just pour comprendre. But I have nothing to comprehend because I was in one day of class out of 5. So, it was whatever. I really understand the professor quand she talks. I’m so happy! I didn’t think I would like photography as much as I do after 2 days. 

This post is gonna be really long: prepare yourselves to read those of you still with me (Probably just Jonathon - my only real friend). 

Nathan et moi, nous sommes allés the hotel for our normal coffee. After coffee, it was lunch time. Today, I went to a place called Cuisine de Comptoir. We got to choose from a menu of tartines. Which are large pieces of bread toasted with cheese or whatever you want. There was one named Le Marius and of course I had to eat that because #Theatre. Also because it was just fromage et tomate and it sounded good. As an appetizer, they let you choose between soupe du jour or a salad and I wanted to step out of my comfort zone (since I wasn’t with the tartine) and I chose the soup. It was cold (I know soups can be cold but I had never tried a cold soup before and it threw me off guard) and it kind of tasted like wet wood? I do now know. At least I tried! The tartine was good but the middle was a little soggy. They should have toasted the bread FIRST then put it back in the oven with the ingredients on it. Honestly, I should just be a French chef. 

Here’s a pic. 

For dessert, I had flan au caramel which was okay but the texture was too much like eggs. The flavor was good though! I also had never had flan before! 

After dejeuner, we had to go to le Fondation Van Gogh for histoire de l’art since our teacher wasn’t there. J’ai iris beaucoup des notes and we had to fill out a sheet of question etc for a grade. Which was a little difficile because there was a lot of French art vocabulary I was not familiar with yet. But I tried. 

Le musée was a little bit moderne for me. It featured Paul Nash qui etait a British surrealist in the early 1900′s. It was really cool. It said he was in le premiere guerre mondiale and he suffered a lot of PTSD so he painted a lot of things as therapy or as a reflection on the war. He style isn’t my typical favorite thing but I appreciated it and reading about him.

In general, here were paintings that I wrote down the name of because I guess I liked them:

Monticelli: Deux Personnages Sur la Route, la Roche percee - It took me a second trip through the museum before I liked anything of Monticelli’s

Picasso - Vieil homme assis (which was CRAZY I could HEAR the paint being swooshed onto the canvas while looking at it. Not the most pleasant sound but it was so cool) , Les Musiciens (which was interesting. I think they were supposed to be black musicians but they looked like animals almost. I mean obviously they were abstract people but it almost looked like he made them to look like monkeys? I wasn’t sure if he meant that as a commentary on racism or what but it was very interesting.)

Paul Nash - Landscape of the Vernal Equinox III, Battle of Germany, Vision at Evening, The Sunflower Rise. (I don’t remember what painting it was but his leaves seemed crunchy which was cool). 

Utagawa Hiroshige - Le pont Ohashi et Atake sous une averse soudaine. (This I thought was cool because you could see how Asian art inspires Impressionism. Pretty coooool) 

Van Gogh: Crane, Wagons de chemin de fer 

Paintings/Painters I did not like: 

-Calder, Polke, Joan Mitchell, Etel Adnan

The top of the museum was a very nice terrace with a view that overlooked the entire city. Here are some pics 

I look pretty fat in that photo but it’s mostly because my shirt is dangling oddly on the stage right side. 

After the musee, I went back to my host family’s house and I was very tired so I laid in bed for a while until it was time to go on an excursion with IES that I signed up for to the Theatre Antique etc. OH! My host mom told me that the fondation van gogh used to be a post office. Interesting fact! 

We met at the school at 17h15 and then walked the 20 feet from our building to the Theatre Antique d’Arles. which is the old theatre. We got a tour from a cute old French woman. It was built one century before Jesus. There were columns which hid the actors from the sun and such a grand place to sit. It was amazing. While we were there, there was like 12 little french children practicing for the “spectacle” which is a big 3 hour long show for all the dancers in Arles. It was tomorrow and my host mom was gonna be performing in it! C’est cool. 

Here are some pics of the theatre. 

I like this one because it shows me dominating the Romans. Battle of the Fittest and I win y’all. 

I guess I didn’t take good pics but it’s free for students so I’m sure I will go back. 

The tour continued to the Arene d’Arles. It was built the first century after Jesus and kind of copied the Colosseum. The tour guide said it fit around 20,000 people and was like the 10th biggest Roman arena still in existence (I think). Pretty damn big. It was also still functional. There is gonna be a bullfight there in the beginning of July and I WANNA GO. Here are some pics. 

The view from the top. 

Un petit oiseau. 

After the tour, I walked home. 

I just thought this building was pretty.

We had a petit fete that night with my host family. They had 3 friends come over. One from Myanmar, one who was French and lived mostly in China - teaching a photography course - , and one from Cambodia. It was super interesting. The conversation jumped constantly entre l’anglais et le francais because the woman from Cambodia couldn’t speak French but it was very cool being able to hear them talk about politics and stuff. Lots of different opinions. My host mom said that since the election, there has been a big change in the French political conversation. She said she thinks it’s more hostile now than it used to be and it’s uncomfortable. Especially since Macron is supposed to be the middle candidate. But everything is so much more polarized now. 

Also, they asked me about Trump. I knew that was gonna happen I guess better sooner to get it over with.

I wanted to stay up and talk to them some more but I was so tired I came downstairs and fell asleep immediately. Bon nuit.

PBF Baby #2: Weeks 24-27

And just like that, another four weeks have come and gone! I’m coming at you today with a recap of how the past month of my pregnancy (weeks 24 – 27) has been going around here.

Just in case you’re catching up, here are my past pregnancy-related blog posts from this pregnancy:

Let’s dive right in, shall we?

PBF Baby #2: Pregnancy Weeks 24-27

24 Weeks

Flashback: 24 Weeks Pregnant with Chase

As I entered the 24th week of my pregnancy, the symptom that surfaced with a bang was the return of foot and calf cramps. I remember these popping up in the later months of my pregnancy with Chase and they are no fun! They seemed to be exacerbated by travel (I drove to Florida and flew to Illinois this week) but I’m doing my best to stay hydrated and stretch them out as much as possible when the killer pain kicks in. I found myself feeling rather unmotivated to work out this week and kept the three workouts I did on the lighter side. I also felt easily stressed out multiple days in a row and completely exhausted by the end of the week.

25 Weeks

Flashback: 25 Weeks Pregnant with Chase

This week I’ve been a bit emotional for personal reasons though I think some of my feelings could be attributed to pregnancy hormones and just feeling everything deeper and stronger. On the bright side, I feel like I’ve felt more grateful and head-over-heels in love with my family than ever. When I think about the fact that our family is growing, it only exacerbates these feelings. Physically, I’ve noticed a bit of heaviness down there when I run at the gym and while it’s nowhere near as uncomfortable as the heaviness I experienced with Chase, it’s still enough to cause me to opt out of running for stretches of more than a couple of minutes at a time.

One thing that’s kind of fun? I’ve become belly obsessed this week and constantly find myself rubbing and touching my belly when I’m at home. Whenever I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom (which is, um, A LOT), I find myself rubbing my belly and it’s oddly comforting to me. I just love that little one growing in there!

26 Weeks

  (The kangaroo pouch on my sweatshirt coupled with the way I’m holding Chase disguised my bump a bit so this is admittedly not the best belly pic from this week but it was the only one I had!)

Flashback: 26 Weeks Pregnant with Chase

This is the first week of this pregnancy that I’ve started to really feel the physical weight of my belly and the 20+ pounds I’ve gained. Shortness of breath surfaced for me really early (within the first few weeks) but my growing belly and increasing weight are feeling more and more noticeable to me. I’ve been taking more breaks than ever at the gym, modifying more and more and listening to my body. Throughout this pregnancy, my only fitness goal has been to try to remain active and healthy, so simply showing up at the gym feels like a victory even if I scale things back in a major way some days.

We had a prenatal appointment with a specialist this week that involved an ultrasound and it was so, so nice to see our little one! We found out that our baby is measuring ahead (a big change from Chase when I was always behind), already has hair and is approximately 2.2 pounds. YAY!

Sleep this week was pretty horrible nearly every single day. Aside from waking up constantly to go to the bathroom, I kept finding myself tossing and turning for well over an hour in the middle of the night multiple nights in a row. I’m not physically uncomfortable in bed and yet I felt absolutely WIRED most nights from 1 to 3 a.m.

27 Weeks

Flashback: 27 Weeks Pregnant with Chase

I had some nausea surface again toward the end of this week and felt a little more sluggish than usual. There were also a few afternoons where I felt totally exhausted by 4 p.m. but thankfully my energy level in the mornings was usually pretty decent so I didn’t begin the day feeling too pooped other than one day last week when I opted out of my usual workout and kept things pretty low key… well as “low key” as possible while still caring for a crazy 2 1/2 year old.

I also felt low motivation when it came to cooking and preparing healthy food and while I managed to eat some kind of vegetable most days, I had cereal for lunch or dinner a few days this week which hit the spot and felt good on my stomach. I’m also so, so unmotivated when it comes to putting any effort into my appearance these days. I’m almost always sporting leggings and a sweatshirt and rarely take the time to do my hair and put on any makeup beyond a swipe of mascara here and there. Anyone else go through this during pregnancy!? I’m not sure if it’s because I’m becoming increasingly uncomfortable, a little more fatigued or what but getting ready often sounds like the least appealing thing in the world to me right now!

The big milestone of this week was heading off to my OB/GYN’s office for my glucose tolerance test. I mentioned this on the blog during my pregnancy with Chase, but my mom had gestational diabetes with both me and my sister and since many doctors believe there is a genetic link, it’s something I’ve always been a bit nervous about so I was relieved to receive my results at the end of the week and learn that I passed the screening.

On My Mind

Boy or Girl?

(Flashback pic to the cupcake we cut into to find out Chase was a boy!)

I am shocked by how much I am LOVING not knowing the sex of our baby. I truly never, ever thought I would want to be surprised but last year had a way of changing a lot of things inside of me. I really, truly am so beyond excited to snuggle a baby again in a few months and get giddy all over when I think about holding a boy OR a girl in my arms.

I feel like I’m the only mom out there without any kind of mother’s intuition about what her baby might be! People ask me all the time what I think we’re having and I have NO idea. I constantly think of our baby as a “he” but part of me wonders if this is because of Chase. I also picture giving birth to a baby boy and envision Ryan saying, “It’s a boy!” when I think about that moment, but again, is this intuition or past experience!?

When I take the time to look at this pregnancy, it has felt very different from my pregnancy with Chase in a number of ways ranging from nausea (all-day vs. a couple of hours in the morning), clearer skin (my face and upper back were Zit City with Chase but I’ve had very clear skin this time around), more rapid weight gain all over, a higher, rounder belly and completely different cravings and aversions (I wanted red meat like crazy with Chase and the thought or smell of nearly all animal protein made me want to vomit for months this time around). All of this makes me wonder if we’re having a girl so I basically feel clueless on a daily basis. Everyone around me, including Ryan, thinks we’re having a girl.

Childcare for Chase When We Go To the Hospital

I don’t know why this stresses me out so much but it does! Without family in the area, I’m not sure what to do about Chase when I actually go into labor in a couple of months. I have some absolutely incredible friends in the area and I know if I asked any of them to help out with Chase they would, but I feel bad because many of them have their own little ones to wrangle or full-time jobs that wouldn’t allow them to just drop everything and hang with Chase while I give birth. I know it will come down to asking a friend to help (my friend Carrie was unbelievably kind when I needed her to watch Chase for hours at the last minute for my second D&C) but I cannot help but feel envious of those who have family close by who are willing and able to come over to hang with their kiddos at the last minute. I hate thinking of waking Chase up in the middle of the night and bringing a groggy, cranky toddler over to a friend’s house for them to then try to settle back down in the middle of the night while we rush off to the hospital. I know it will all work out, but it’s just a logistical thing we have to think through.

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

One of the items I have on my must-do list for postpartum recovery after our little one arrives is meeting with a pelvic floor physical therapist. To be completely honest with you guys, I’ve struggled quite a bit with what I’ll call “mom pee” ever since Chase was born. If my bladder isn’t completely empty and I sneeze, I’ll often pee a tiny bit and it’s only worsened during pregnancy, despite doing all the kegels in the world. When I briefly mentioned this on the blog in the past, I had a couple of you chime in urging me to meet with a pelvic floor physical therapist and it’s something I’ve had on my mind ever since. It’s a must for me after our second baby arrives because I want to be proactive with my postpartum pelvic floor recovery now that I know it’s not something that, for me, will likely just improve on its own over time. If any of you have personal experience in this area, PLEASE let me know!

New Maternity Favorites

I don’t have too many new things to share since my roundup of pregnancy favorites from last month’s recap, but here are a few new maternity favorites from the past few weeks:

ASOS Cold Shoulder V-Neck Ruffle Blouse (Pictured above and only $24!)

Lululemon Align Leggings (By FAR the best purchase I’ve made in months thanks to your amazing recommendations! SO comfy. I live in these things.)

Aerie City Sweatshirt (Not maternity but it’s oversized and slouchy – and on sale for $25! – and perfect for a growing bump. I’m wearing it in the 25 week bump pics above.)

Nursery Inspiration

I am just now beginning to think about our little one’s nursery but don’t feel too much pressure to get everything in order before our baby arrives because I know they will be sleeping with us in a bassinet in our room for several months.
