#I don't recognize this place... / IDW verse

"Arrrrrr! booty!"

Overlord gives that aft a slap.

             If High Tide planned on drinking anything, it was impossible after spilling it all over his chassis glass with a surprised yelp. He just... freezed there for a moment or two before peeking over his shoulder at the taller mech.

             “D-Do ye mind??” He was mentally praying the other didn’t hear that...

[captainseamech]

             Back inside his ship it is. Not dealing with that tonight.

[captainseamech]

Hey uh... Big guy? Not to anger or fluster you but I thiiiink there's a dent in your ass. Like. A hand shaped dent even if I may

             “... A what now?!” High Tide turned off the datapad on his servos to peek over his shoulder, running a servo over the plating said grayface mentioned to feel the dent with his digits. Frag, they were right. Even though he could feel some steam start to escape his lipplates, the mech quickly shook his helm and quickly trailed off. Guess he will stay locked inside his ship for quite a long time.

“Of course it’s the biggest mechs who happen to be on top of everyone else.”

“... wait no-”

[captainseamech]

                Wheezing

[captainseamech]

He's making eye contact with the funny big spider in the ceiling now. What else could he do? Pepper spray the poor thing?

I’m always watching, high tide..👀

“S.... SIR???”

[captainseamech]

Hey you. Son of Unicron. You shouldn't be here, this event is not for you.

             And of course when High Tide actually manages to go out during an event from his own kind, there has to be someone else to shatter his mood in a second. He glanced at the bot from over his shoulder, not being able to reckon who it was due the covered faceplates.

             “Last time I heard that claim was eras ago,” he started as he faced the other, approaching as he gazed down at them. “This is old as time itself, and ye better be more than careful with those fake stupid claims ye doing all around this important event. I wouldn’t even be invited here if those stupid claims of yours were true.”

             The sea mech leaned foward and tapped the other’s chestplate with his digit as he stared through the dark visor, voice low with a hiss and growl down from his engines. “If it wasn’t for the nature of how important this event and place is, ye wouldn’t be here sayin’ utterly scrap like this out loud just because of an optic color.” He squinted slightly, looking deep into their visor...

             “But fine,” High Tide abruptly stood up. “If you are that uncomfortable with my presence alone, I will leave.” Might take a while to get back to his place though...

[captainseamech]

This place is... getting extra crowded. High Tide might stay for a little longer before leaving.

... That is, unless someone prompts him to do something.

[captainseamech]

             High Tide watched it all happen from the moment he got there, arms crossed over his chassis and mask covering his face as his optics followed it all happen. It had a warm feeling down his spark, a feeling he once had but faded away eras ago. It was also very beautiful to witness.

             The mech stayed in place as people rushed past him and even bumped against his frame, a few of them almost managing to take him down if he wasn’t paying the proper attention. Hugs, prayers and thank yous could be heard from afar as well as requests as well; but the mech did not move, in fact, he stayed from a distance all the time.

             A new era was here, a new hope was now born. And he felt so proud of everyone involved, but he would never shy his way out to actually admit it face-to-face.

             Being there to witness was already enough.

[captainseamech]

            He might be late but... Hey, at least he got there in time to watch-- ... whatever is going on with the moons right now.

[captainseamech]

            High Tide? Snickering? Never heard of! Nope!

[captainseamech]

He might want to know about the link for research purposes... Of course.

[captainseamech]

             “Sweet baby Jesus, he needs a chill pill.”

[captainseamech]

             “Well, someone’s salty today.”

[captainseamech]

             Looks up.... Slowly looks to the side. Sips his little energon cube... No his servo totally isn’t nervously shaking. Nope.
