July 9 Dancitron Movie Night - Enchanted

Prowl stood against a wall the entire movie.

And had a tense conversation with Soundwave.

Today ItsyBitsySpyers 7:45 pm *Soundwave promised another safe movie, and by Primus, he will see that it happens. As used to having the couch to himself as he now is, he just lays across it, spines withdrawn to keep from bending them, and settles in to wait.* Windchill 7:49 pm *He's...here...and he has...worm..* Specs 7:49 pm *incoming dragon! she also has worms, although they're energon gummi worms. today seems to be a day for energon gummies, honestly. she'll put them where they're supposed to go.* Hello, Soundwave! ItsyBitsySpyers 7:50 pm *Soundwave waves a feeler at Windchill and his worm, and then at the dragon and her worms.* Windchill 7:51 pm *He's gonna sit down with worm sat in his lap.* Hi suckers. ItsyBitsySpyers 7:53 pm [[Greetings.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 7:54 pm ((starting in 15)) Smokescreen 7:55 pm /He's coming in and is immediately singing along enthusiastically!/ ItsyBitsySpyers 7:55 pm [[Ah. Familiar with this, are you.]] Smokescreen 7:56 pm /Nodding, still singing! He's seen pretty much every Disney film!/ Blaster 7:56 pm -trots in after Smokescreen- ItsyBitsySpyers 7:56 pm *The feeler waves to Blaster as well while Soundwave records Smokescreen.* Prowl 7:56 pm *arrives* Blaster 7:57 pm -waves back, before going to sit- Smokescreen 7:59 pm /He's probably destined to sing until the movie begins/ ItsyBitsySpyers 7:59 pm ((whoops))??*He's content to record the whole time. It seems to be a quiet night.* Specs 8:00 pm ((yesterday was my last day of antibiotics! I am free!)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:00 pm ((YAAAAY)) Blaster 8:00 pm ((whoo! Smokescreen 8:01 pm ((NICE! <3)) Sounds, Sounds, are we doing a Disney movie tonight? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:01 pm [[We are.]] Smokescreen 8:01 pm ... Why is Thumbelina in this list Windchill 8:01 pm *Oh no.* Prowl 8:01 pm What list is it? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:02 pm [[Disney princesses singing.]] Smokescreen 8:02 pm Disney movies. But Thumbelina isn't Disney. /More singing from Smokey!/ Windchill 8:02 pm *He'll be quiet, or else Blue will murder him. Probably.* *This is hard.* Blaster 8:02 pm -just...going to sit and fold his legs under himself- Prowl 8:03 pm Who's singing? We've heard them before. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:03 pm [[He believes this princess is named Mulan.]] [[She is the one who saved her land from an invading force.]] Smokescreen 8:04 pm OH THIS ONE Blaster 8:04 pm Mood? Oh, like a romantic one? Windchill 8:04 pm *Appears to swell up like a blister.* Prowl 8:04 pm How does the whole new world song play into fighting off invading forces? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:04 pm [[It would seem so.]]??[[...What do you mean, the whole new world song? That is a different film.]] Smokescreen 8:04 pm That's a different movie! ItsyBitsySpyers 8:04 pm ((oh my god did rabbit remove the ability to do line breaks)) Specs 8:05 pm ((test?test)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:05 pm [[Windchill, are you all right?]] Specs 8:05 pm ((shit, it did)) Windchill 8:05 pm ((Let's test))?(Test)) Prowl 8:05 pm It's the same person. She sounds like--like someone. Windchill 8:05 pm (( Nope it just inserts a question mark)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:05 pm ((rabbit of all the stupid updates this is your worst yet)) Smokescreen 8:05 pm ((rabbit why do you make these changes)) Blaster 8:05 pm ((ew ItsyBitsySpyers 8:05 pm [[Like someone? Who?]] Blaster 8:06 pm They....went all out didn't they? Windchill 8:06 pm You gotta kiss the Whirl ItsyBitsySpyers 8:06 pm [[In their defense, it is important.]] //I DON'T NEITHER.// Smokescreen 8:06 pm That's what you do when you want bots to kiss! ItsyBitsySpyers 8:06 pm [[What are you doing down here?]] Blaster 8:06 pm What? Why? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:06 pm //...'S a movie. 'N my night off.// Prowl 8:06 pm ...it doesn't matter that much. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:07 pm *Turns his head to stare at Prowl a moment. Hmm.* Smokescreen 8:07 pm sounds sounds sounds can we do Be Our Guest next? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:08 pm [[Fine.]] Windchill 8:08 pm *Deflates safely.* Smokescreen 8:09 pm Thank you Sounds! I could hug you! Blaster 8:09 pm So, these are Disney? Windchill 8:09 pm *Be Our Guest is annoying and it's easy to resist that one.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:09 pm [[Yes. Smokescreen could probably tell you more.]] Smokescreen 8:09 pm /Singinggg along/ Prowl 8:09 pm *somehow very aware that she's gotten Soundwave's attention since this isn't the first time she's gotten worked up over that singer* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:09 pm This message has been removed. Blaster 8:09 pm ......... Um.... Windchill 8:12 pm That's...a lot of cursed plate people. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:12 pm ((WARNINGS: Singing woodland animals, gross bodily fluids, jokes in bad taste, insects and other vermin, Giselle doing or saying things in ignorance, animal mistreatment, death, bad family dynamics, and i didn't finish but i'm pretty sure there's nothing much worse)) Smokescreen 8:12 pm Beast ruined a bunch of people's lives, you know? Windchill 8:12 pm Ehhhhhh. Smokescreen 8:12 pm I mean, can you imagine how much it would suck to be a plate for ten years? Blaster 8:13 pm I like being mobile, thanks Windchill 8:13 pm Something could be said for enchantresses who wander around looking for young humans to curse, but sure. Smokescreen 8:13 pm Especially if the jerk that caused it just eats off you ... That's pretty weird, too VProwl 8:13 pm *appears barely in time for the movie* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:13 pm *Rumble plops himself down where Swoop usually sits, back up against a chair.* Windchill 8:14 pm These animals are going to be annoying, aren't they? Smokescreen 8:14 pm /He's sitting by the drinks, waiting to see where Prowl's going to sit./ ItsyBitsySpyers 8:14 pm [[Annoying is a matter of perspective.]] Smokescreen 8:14 pm ... You can kiss without lips Prowl 8:14 pm *Prowl's going to sit at her usual table* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:14 pm [[Indeed.]] Windchill 8:15 pm I kiss people without lips all the time. VProwl 8:15 pm *... is hovering near the wall waiting to see where everyone's sitting* *continues hovering* Smokescreen 8:15 pm I don't have lips and I kiss all the time! Blaster 8:15 pm ............. -concern- Windchill 8:16 pm CRAB. Smokescreen 8:16 pm crab lips! Can you imagine: Prince Crab Lips? Windchill 8:16 pm I'd do it. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:16 pm [[He is given to understand that doing anything with a crab is a painful endeavor.]] Smokescreen 8:17 pm ... Sounds what did you do with a crab? Windchill 8:17 pm I don't think it's that bad. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:17 pm [[Nothing. He heard about it.]] Blaster 8:17 pm I'm...what...is this? Windchill 8:17 pm Whirl's kind of a crab. I lived. I like the horse. Smokescreen 8:17 pm /He's glancing in Boxy Prowl's direction for a moment, to see if he's going to sit with Sounds. Is he gonna be sitting with Sounds again?/ ItsyBitsySpyers 8:17 pm [[It is a movie, Blaster. What does it look like?]] Ratchet 8:17 pm What did that troll ever do. It seems like a perfectly nice person. .... oh. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:18 pm [[He is clearly a homewrecker.]] Windchill 8:18 pm Well then. VProwl too. VProwl 8:18 pm *well, he's still hovering near the wall, so* Windchill 8:19 pm She was NOT that heavy. Smokescreen 8:19 pm /... Are they still waiting for the other bot to sit down?/ Blaster 8:19 pm I know it's a movie, I'm just It's... ItsyBitsySpyers 8:19 pm [[Hm. Moving a bit quickly, these two.]] Windchill 8:19 pm Only a little faster than I did. It's not that bad. Blaster 8:20 pm What Ratchet 8:20 pm They haven't even kissed yet. Smokescreen 8:20 pm Haha- I kinda envy 'em! It took me months to realize my mate liked me. Windchill 8:20 pm *points* More horses. I like white ones especially. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:20 pm *Spots Prowl hovering. Sends a greeting ping and returns his attention to the screen.* VProwl 8:21 pm *... ping.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:21 pm [[Why those?]] Windchill 8:22 pm Because white is a cool colour. I like black ones too. Smokescreen 8:22 pm well it was nice knowing her Windchill 8:22 pm Her waist is intense. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:22 pm [[Well. THIS is going to be a short movie.]] Smokescreen 8:22 pm ... the queen could've just let her hit the bottom of the well and it would've worked just fine and then said that she left the other guy at the altar Windchill 8:22 pm ...Mosquitoes? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:23 pm *Sits up a little.* [[...Fascinating.]] Blaster 8:23 pm .......what Smokescreen 8:23 pm She went to another universe! I'm guessing VProwl 8:23 pm A space bridge. Windchill 8:23 pm Pretty commonplace, really. Blaster 8:23 pm That's worrying Windchill 8:23 pm But clearly she's not used to it. Smokescreen 8:23 pm horizontal space bridges suck, also Smokescreen 8:24 pm ... AOL? Windchill 8:24 pm I like her sleeves. They're really big. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:24 pm [[Too big.]] *Amused huff.* Smokescreen 8:24 pm optimus no Windchill 8:24 pm *Puffs up* Exactly. Ehehehe. *Blinks* Smokescreen 8:25 pm ... Pff Omicron 8:25 pm ((-waves-)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:25 pm [[This is an excellent depiction of what it feels like to cross timelines for the first time.]] Windchill 8:26 pm And every time after. Or maybe that's just me. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:26 pm [[Only when it comes to the boxyverse.]] *Another huff.* Omicron 8:26 pm *Soundwave gets a Ping from Dreaded Wings* Windchill 8:26 pm *Snorts.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:26 pm *Sits up. Oh? He answers it.*??@DW: (txt): Greetings. Windchill 8:27 pm I hope her makeup is waterproof. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:27 pm @P: [[...Would you like to sit? He can move to the far end of the couch if you do not want to be close.]] Omicron 8:27 pm {@S: Patching Captain through} Windchill 8:27 pm Wow. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:28 pm @DW: (txt): Acknowledged. Waiting. Smokescreen 8:28 pm ... Bots that call themselves rational aren't usually all that rational Windchill 8:28 pm Eheheh. VProwl 8:28 pm @S «No. I'm waiting.» Windchill 8:28 pm This is sometimes true. She's gonna die. Possibly of radiation. But definitely gonna die. That's what I'm getting from that. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:29 pm *Oh. Well, in that case he'll go back to resting on the couch. Dreaded Wings needs his attention anyway.* Omicron 8:29 pm {@S: Soundwave...this is Ice Queen. I understand you may know where one of my hatchlings?} Smokescreen 8:30 pm ... /Awkwardly pinging Soundwave/ Windchill 8:30 pm ...That's the least glittery casino I've ever seen. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:30 pm @DW: (txt): Affirmative. Current medical status, Ice Queen's? @SS: [[What?]] Windchill 8:31 pm I'm going to say she's just...really disoriented and not so dumb that she can't tell that's clearly not a real castle. *He's prepared to be disappointed though.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:32 pm [[Perhaps depth perception takes a while to kick in with their space bridging methods.]] Windchill 8:32 pm Possible. Omicron 8:32 pm {@S: Cured, recovering from a few days worth of napping. May I come?} Blaster 8:33 pm .............I'm.......just gonna...uh... Windchill 8:33 pm Ehehehe. I knew she made those sleeves herself. They're too big for anyone else to be responsible for it. Blaster 8:34 pm -brings up data-pad to hide behind- ItsyBitsySpyers 8:34 pm @DW: (txt): Permitted with caution. Requirement: official medical recovery documentation, cleanliness scan upon arrival. Smokescreen 8:34 pm @Soundwave: ::Are you and Prowl doing okay? Like- are you two gonna be together? I brought the covenant, and we can read together if he's still mad at you- but I hope everything's fine with you..:: Windchill 8:34 pm I can't wait to disappoint my children. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:35 pm *Soundwave buzzes Frenzy to come down to take care of that second part, should Ice Queen agree.* Windchill 8:35 pm *For now, Blue sits fatly in his lap and does not know the meaning of disappointment. For now.* Prowl 8:35 pm @Blaster: Are you all right? VProwl 8:35 pm ((cmon dude at least say you're canceling the order before you hang up)) ((be polite)) Windchill 8:35 pm Oh no. Nice landing. *He's cackling.* Oh thank god. Omicron 8:36 pm {@S: I can do that.... my medic says she'll put a tag on my horns if she has to } Smokescreen 8:36 pm ... phpfff VProwl 8:37 pm *okay. apparently he lives here now. he leans on the wall.* Blaster 8:37 pm Fine, just gonna die of second-hand embarrassment Windchill 8:37 pm Looks like my house when I come home. *Frowns.* 'Cept I gotta clean it all by myself. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:38 pm @SS: [[He does not care to talk about that.]] *Mostly because he doesn't really know. And it takes him a while, because Smokescreen offered the Covenant again, but... to be honest, he doesn't want pity company today. Not even if it comes with something as intriguing as that. It makes him feel... pathetic, somehow.* [[He is fine today. But it would be - pleasing, if he could read it with you another time, and not simply because Prowl might be mad at him.]] Prowl 8:38 pm Understandable. Windchill 8:38 pm No amount of singing on my part will summon woodland creatures. They'd just be eaten anyway. Tarantulas 8:38 pm (( ratty bbs <3 ItsyBitsySpyers 8:38 pm @DW: (txt): Horn tags: unnecessary. Simple file: acceptable. Approach when desired. *SCOOTS BACK* Smokescreen 8:38 pm Soundwave! It's you! ItsyBitsySpyers 8:39 pm [[Ha. Ha. Ha.]] Smokescreen 8:39 pm @Soundwave: ::I'd be up to read it with you later, too. I don't mean for it to be pity company, though. I really like being with you, too. I just usually don't get the chance!:: Windchill 8:39 pm Wait. How does she know what that is? Smokescreen 8:39 pm Oh man, do you really wanna know? Windchill 8:40 pm I've never seen a vacuum in a fantasy movie, I don't think they have them. Omicron 8:40 pm {@S: I can bridge in outside if that helps} ItsyBitsySpyers 8:40 pm *Soundwave slides back to his previous position on his couch and tries not to be too horrified. These are... they're useful insects. Devoted vermin.* Windchill 8:40 pm Oh NO. VProwl 8:40 pm ... @S «Is that how you give them orders.» ItsyBitsySpyers 8:40 pm @SS: [[...Thank you. Another time, then.]] Windchill 8:41 pm *Cackles some more.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:41 pm *Oh Primus, swallow him alive now please.* Smokescreen 8:41 pm ... oh gosh that would be so terrifying)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:41 pm @P: [[No. No it is not. He does not sing.]] Blaster 8:41 pm -face in data-pad now- VProwl 8:41 pm @S «You could play remixes for your loyal subjects.» ItsyBitsySpyers 8:41 pm @DW: (txt): Affirmative. Windchill 8:41 pm These poor people probably think they're in a horror movie. I'm not sure that they'd be wrong. Uh oh. Smokescreen 8:42 pm oh no ItsyBitsySpyers 8:43 pm *Soundwave twists to look at Prowl. Really? Really?* @P: [[He will - take that into consideration.]] VProwl 8:43 pm *... humor ping.* Smokescreen 8:43 pm ... Oh. Omicron 8:43 pm *bridge comes in the back, big predacon comes through....bad bridge placement though, she runs into a wall and grunts* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:44 pm *...Oh. OH. He'll think about that for a moment before sending a humor ping back. All right. He sees the joke in it.* Windchill 8:44 pm I mean...I'd at least let the guy explain if I cared about that. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:44 pm *Soundwave feels the vibrations of a Predacon thumping into the back wall and startles slightly. He motions for Frenzy to head outside and in back of the building to go scan. It won't be long before she's cleared.* Prowl 8:45 pm *stiffens slightly in her chair at the sudden arrival outside* What was that? Windchill 8:45 pm The sleeves are not as big on that dress...I'm disappointed. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:45 pm [[There is nothing wrong with serenading a loved one. And that was a Predacon.]] Smokescreen 8:46 pm Serenading loved ones is the best! Prowl 8:46 pm ...One of ours? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:46 pm [[Hmm. The Queen may be evil, but he appreciates her design choices.]] Windchill 8:46 pm I usually get funny looks when I serenade people. Smokescreen 8:46 pm ... That's the ant bot from the animal universe has he just been running around like that ItsyBitsySpyers 8:47 pm [[No. Ice Queen. She claims to have recovered. Frenzy is scanning her. She was instructed to bring paperwork proving it as well.]] Windchill 8:47 pm People almost died. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:47 pm [[Why did people nearly die?]] Omicron 8:47 pm *Icy shakes herself and looks around...where is she? ...oh Dreaded Wings must have sent her outside the club anyways* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:47 pm *Points at the Chicago advertisement.* [[We watched that.]] Windchill 8:47 pm We did. Smokescreen 8:47 pm Wait, we did? Windchill 8:48 pm We were appalled. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:48 pm [[...Mostly.]] @P: [[...He is not a Disney princess, if that is your next question.]] *Another humor ping.* Windchill 8:49 pm ....Why? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:49 pm [[How else do you expect her to be able to speak with the fish?]] VProwl 8:49 pm @S «I wouldn't go THAT far.» Windchill 8:49 pm I don't put people in my mouth to talk to them. Blaster 8:49 pm This movie is insane ItsyBitsySpyers 8:50 pm [[He sees nothing wrong with the movie.]] Smokescreen 8:50 pm But now that stew is poisoned too Specs 8:50 pm ((Fear.Jpg)) Smokescreen 8:50 pm you're gonna have to toss it out /Smokescreen's going over and is finally sitting next to Round Prowl!/ Windchill 8:50 pm Then everyone...DIED. Prowl 8:51 pm *ah yes all right then* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:51 pm [[Ah, charades.]] [[A favorite game.]] VProwl 8:52 pm ((is that frank welker)) Smokescreen 8:52 pm ((i wouldn't be surprised Omicron 8:52 pm ((is rumble outside or want icy to wait? *not sure if she missed a post*)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:52 pm ((no, but when he's talking in andalasia it IS tfa prowl)) VProwl 8:52 pm ((omg)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:53 pm ((icy is clear whenever you like, i already noted it wouldn't take long for frenzy to pass her 😄 )) ((rabbit, give me the smiley i put in that)) [[Oh. This will be messy.]] Smokescreen 8:53 pm ... primus Omicron 8:54 pm ((cool )) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:54 pm [[She is so very... hm.]] Prowl 8:55 pm Naive. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:55 pm [[Bubbly? Perky?... Yes. That one's better. Naive.]] Blaster 8:56 pm The prince isn't the brightest....is he? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:56 pm *Oh. Sympathetic spark tugs he'd rather not acknowledge.* [[The prince is a blithering idiot.]] Windchill 8:57 pm This is true. *Snickers.* It happens, okay. Smokescreen 8:57 pm ... who is that Blaster 8:57 pm Yeah. I'll agree with that Windchill 8:57 pm Is that a lobster? Omicron 8:58 pm *Icy comes around to the front door, thinks its more polite that way* Smokescreen 8:59 pm I wanna go to a museum Windchill 8:59 pm A museum would be cool. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:59 pm @P: [[...Would he be correct in assuming that you would find a mech like her absolutely horrifying.]] VProwl 8:59 pm @S «Yes, I do.» ItsyBitsySpyers 8:59 pm @P: [[Then he apologizes. It was not his intent to show a horror movie this week.]] Windchill 8:59 pm I feel a song coming on. VProwl 9:00 pm *snort* Windchill 9:00 pm Brace yourselves. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:00 pm *Sits up a little again.* Prowl 9:00 pm *huffs* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:00 pm [[Oh, don't interrupt her. It sounded-- ah.]] Windchill 9:00 pm *Bluebottle makes a face.* Blaster 9:00 pm ...... Smokescreen 9:00 pm Can you imagine? Like, an actual museum on Cybertron? Like, you could go around and see art or something? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:00 pm *...Feeler might be waving a little bit.* Smokescreen 9:00 pm /He's singing along/ VProwl 9:01 pm *openly grimacing in disgust at this point.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:01 pm [[What were they doing with all the flowers...?]] Windchill 9:01 pm A mystery. Smokescreen 9:01 pm /Smokescreen's loving this part honestly./ ItsyBitsySpyers 9:01 pm *Somehow he isn't surprised.* Blaster 9:01 pm -okay, he's snickering now- Omicron 9:01 pm *paaaauuses, staring at the singing* VProwl 9:02 pm @S «You're sure you're not a "Disney princess"?» ItsyBitsySpyers 9:02 pm *...Maybe it will make what he did look better by comparison. He didn't lead the whole of Iacon in dancing and singing.* *HUFF* Specs 9:02 pm *IT'S ICY!!!!! Have a dragonhat, Icy!* Hello! Prowl 9:02 pm She's having an effect on the people around her. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:02 pm [[Greetings, Ice Queen.]] Smokescreen 9:02 pm /Waving at Icy!/ Blaster 9:02 pm -okay, he's laughing now- ItsyBitsySpyers 9:02 pm @P: [[The only thing his singing would accomplish would be chasing the entire parkful of humans away.]] @P: [[...And he was not /that/ idiotic.]] Blaster 9:03 pm So, human outlier? VProwl 9:03 pm @S «I don't know. Trapping an unwilling participant in the middle of a city-wide public demonstration about romance?» Omicron 9:03 pm *blinks at dragon hat, gives a broken purr attempt back, looking around... she looks... warn* VProwl 9:04 pm *... conspicuous absence of a humor ping.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:04 pm *His lights dim a little bit.* Smokescreen 9:04 pm She's already shown that her singing's super powerful- maybe it's controlling some of the humans? Windchill 9:04 pm Probably. It's some kind of superpower. Sigma ability maybe. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:04 pm @P: [[He is sorry.]] Blaster 9:04 pm That's hilarious Prowl 9:04 pm The poison was acidic? Smokescreen 9:05 pm I wish I had magical singing Blaster 9:05 pm and yeah, an outlier Prowl 9:05 pm *suddenly actually interested in the movie* Smokescreen 9:05 pm ... I'm so glad they trust each other! Windchill 9:05 pm *Points* Train. Smokescreen 9:05 pm Train! Windchill 9:06 pm *But Blue doesn't care about some smelly old TRAIN. She wiggles fiercely.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:06 pm *Suddenly kind of regrets showing this. Or being downstairs. He'd wanted an amusing musical, not... well. It wasn't like there was a(n acceptable) way to take back what he'd done.* VProwl 9:06 pm @S «So, THIS demonstration is what you consider idiotic? Just—to be clear.» Blaster 9:06 pm Looked like the poison was, it ate through a helmet Omicron 9:06 pm Dragon, where's Racer? *scenting the air, looks around and pings soundwave? and/or a prowl? Icy's not moving very fast* Smokescreen 9:07 pm That poor chipmunk Windchill 9:07 pm Ouch. Smokescreen 9:08 pm Hey, Prowl, it's good to see you. /He's waving at Prowl, starting to take a sip out of a drink/ ItsyBitsySpyers 9:09 pm @P: [[What he did was wrong, invasive, and a severe over-extension of rare privileges. He understands that. If you would prefer the word "idiotic", then so be it. That is what it was.]] [[Racer is with the Predacons in the Pits of Kaon. That is the territory they claimed for themselves.]] VProwl 9:10 pm @S «No, I'm talking about the movie. You said you weren't "THAT idiotic." I'm clarifying that the scene with the singing is, indeed, something that, by YOUR standards, is "idiotic."» Prowl 9:10 pm Hm? Did you mean me? Smokescreen 9:10 pm Yeah! You! VProwl 9:11 pm @S «I'm not calling your actions anything. I'm double checking the word you yourself used on something unrelated.» Prowl 9:11 pm Of course. Hello, Smokescreen. Smokescreen 9:11 pm Hey, Prowl. Do you want a drink or anything? Omicron 9:11 pm *Icy Squiiiiiints at the door, giving a rumbling growl she starts to turn, ready to WALK there to this place for her hatchling* Prowl 9:11 pm ...I suppose it couldn't hurt. Windchill 9:12 pm *Snorts.* Smokescreen 9:13 pm He's getting fired Windchill 9:13 pm How does this man get hired in the first place? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:13 pm @P: [[He finds her power to inspire the park's inhabitants fascinating, her singing voice pleasing, and some grain of truth in what she was saying. As a staged number, it is entertaining.

Smokescreen 9:15 pm ... pff ItsyBitsySpyers 9:15 pm @IQ: [[Calm. He will contact Predaking and have Racer sent here momentarily.]] Blaster 9:16 pm Prince of idiots is on the rise Smokescreen 9:16 pm /Finally coming back with drinks, offering one drink to Prowl./ Windchill 9:16 pm *Blue wiggles and huffs MORE, until Chill sets her on the floor.* Prowl 9:16 pm *accepts carefully* Thank you. Smokescreen 9:17 pm Of course! How's your week been, Prowl? Prowl 9:17 pm What's in this? Omicron 9:18 pm *Icy pauses, looks back....this is okay, she sits down where's there's space to wait* ?@S: thank you.... what happened? How did he get to Predaking? Smokescreen 9:18 pm Uh- energon? It's mid-grade. I can add a crystal if you want, though. Prowl 9:18 pm No, no this is perfect. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:18 pm *Distracts himself with contacting the Predacons of his world. It's not easy. They don't like to speak the usual way. And he'll have to convince them it's safe to let Racer come back.* @IQ: [[Our Prowl took him there. They were best equipped to handle his care while he was away from you.]] Windchill 9:19 pm *Blue rolls onto her stubby legs and peers around in search of...food, probably.* Smokescreen 9:20 pm If you say so! I'm adding a bit of quartz to my own drink, if you do want any Windchill 9:20 pm Didn't she learn her lesson the first time? Prowl 9:20 pm Apparently not. Windchill 9:20 pm Just like me. Specs 9:21 pm *the dragon shakes herself- she accidentally fell asleep on Icy!* Blaster 9:21 pm ........-siiiiighs- Omicron 9:22 pm *Looks over at this worlds prowl....with her dragon hat. huffs at* Windchill 9:22 pm *Snorts.* Prowl 9:22 pm My week was fine, Smokescreen. Windchill 9:23 pm His sleeves are big too. Prowl 9:23 pm *Icy's not going to get much of a response out of Prowl doing that unfortunately* Blaster 9:23 pm The prince's character couldn't be any flatter if Metroplex sat on it Windchill 9:23 pm That's kinky. Specs 9:23 pm *the dragon may not know what's going on here, but she can provide Snout Licks to calm down the Lorge.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:24 pm [[He thinks that is the point.]] Smokescreen 9:24 pm That's good! It's been a weird week- but not too bad, really. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:24 pm [[The flatness. Not kink.]] Smokescreen 9:24 pm I should go on a date soon, though Blaster 9:24 pm I guess.... Windchill 9:24 pm If you say so, Soundwave. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:24 pm [[Hm.]] Prowl 9:24 pm How has it been weird? Smokescreen 9:25 pm Well- someone tried to steal the phase shifter from me the other day. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:26 pm *...Feels slightly better about the incident at the baseball game.* Omicron 9:26 pm *gives Prowl a ping from where she's laying down* Prowl 9:26 pm Who tried to steal it? Omicron 9:27 pm *also, grateful for the head licks dragon, thank you* Prowl 9:27 pm *doesn't recognize the comm, but she pings them back* Smokescreen 9:27 pm Just- I have no idea who they are. I got it back pretty easily, but- it was weird Blaster 9:27 pm ((HAH!? Specs 9:27 pm ((skfahsflkahj small child)) Windchill 9:27 pm *No food has fallen into Blue's view, so she'll wander around on the floor. She's on a quest.* Omicron 9:28 pm ((woow that kiddo)) Blaster 9:28 pm ((good god child Windchill 9:28 pm The booty. Prowl 9:28 pm ((the amount of money they're spending here is so appalling I bet Specs 9:28 pm Racer was looking fine the last time I saw him, if that makes you feel better. He was hungry and curious, like a little one should be. Windchill 9:28 pm (( I'm horrified. )) Omicron 9:28 pm @P: this is Ice Queen. Blaster 9:29 pm ......... Omicron 9:29 pm .....heh, Racer is always hungry Blaster 9:29 pm YIKES Smokescreen 9:29 pm ((rip that guy's credit score)) Omicron 9:29 pm ((not the score just the bill)) Specs 9:30 pm ((every time I buy a textbook in college my dad sends me a gif of the "this is definitely an emergency" scene)) Blaster 9:30 pm She's...kinda scary Prowl 9:30 pm @Ice: The Predacon. How can I help you? Windchill 9:30 pm I like her heels. Smokescreen 9:30 pm You like heels? Omicron 9:31 pm @Prowl: I'm told you helped Racer? at least get to predacons? Windchill 9:31 pm *He lifts his foot more coquettishly than is warranted. It's heeled.* Smokescreen 9:31 pm ... Oh! Ohh. Fair enough! ItsyBitsySpyers 9:31 pm *And now there's a ball. Now he's tempted to just. Go right upstairs.* Prowl 9:32 pm *huffs at the line about dancing* @Ice: Yes, I did. Smokescreen 9:33 pm I don't know, I associate heels with a couple creepy bots. But you're alright, Windy! Windchill 9:33 pm *Who has feet on the floor? Blue's gonna make a beeline for 'em.* I dunno, you don't know me all that well. Ratchet 9:33 pm [[ why do they make strangers dance to a slow romantic song ]] VProwl 9:33 pm *very very belatedly; just pings acknowledgment to Soundwave. it's good to know where the limits are.* Specs 9:33 pm *the dragon is safe from marauding worms, but will beep at Blue if she approaches* VProwl 9:33 pm ((plot convenience)) Prowl 9:33 pm ((for the plot Omicron 9:33 pm @Prowl: Thank you. *giving a broken rumbling sound in her spot* Smokescreen 9:33 pm That's also true! But I'm like, 20% sure you're less creepy than Starscream. Omicron 9:34 pm *Icy's laying on the floor, all legs on the floor and tail. * Prowl 9:34 pm @Ice: You're welcome. I take it you'll be retrieving him now. Ratchet 9:34 pm [[ THIS IS NOT A SONG FOR SOMEONE YOU DIDN'T COME WITH ]] Windchill 9:34 pm Maybe Starscream just sucks at hiding it? Smokescreen 9:35 pm That's also true! Hah- but I'm willing to bet I still wouldn't think you're creepy if I knew you better. Blaster 9:35 pm ...yeeesh Omicron 9:35 pm @Prowl: Yes. Soundwave says he is calling the predacons here to bring him. Smokescreen 9:35 pm Unless you, like, tried to steal my t-cog or something. Windchill 9:35 pm *Blue has found...FLOOR DRAGONS?* I have no use for your t-cog, it's true. Omicron 9:36 pm *blue has found at least one giant floor dragon* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:36 pm *...Yeah. He can't do this tonight. Soundwave pings Ravage, who comes downstairs a moment later.*??=Incident at Harmonex.=??*He wraps up the call with Predaking and stands up. Racer will be here soon. Soundwave's going to head up.* Smokescreen 9:36 pm Perfect! I bet we could be bffs then Windchill 9:36 pm (( Jesus christ I jumped. )) Smokescreen 9:36 pm ... /Pinging Soundwave again./ ItsyBitsySpyers 9:36 pm *Busy signal.* Smokescreen 9:37 pm ... /Pingpingpingpingping/ VProwl 9:37 pm *... incident at Harmonex? the city that doesn't exist anymore?* Windchill 9:37 pm If you say so, Smokescreen.

Windchill 9:37 pm *Blue BEEPS.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:37 pm *Out of nowhere, and out of Rumble:* //Don't do it!!// ItsyBitsySpyers 9:38 pm *He claps a hand over his mouth and resets his vocalizer.* Smokescreen 9:38 pm I mean, if you want, you could come to my place sometime, Windy? Blaster 9:38 pm I forgot what....oh that's bad Windchill 9:38 pm Is this a trap? Smokescreen 9:38 pm ... she knows there's a doorknob, right? Windchill 9:39 pm *There's only one thing for Blue to do. Climb the dragon to get the other dragon.* Specs 9:40 pm *that was expected but also hilarious* *beep beep* Prowl 9:40 pm @S: What sort of incident? Omicron 9:40 pm *Icy eyes blue, nudging with her muzzle, though not to stay long if Dragon is still on her head* VProwl 9:40 pm @S «... I apologize for bringing it up.» Specs 9:41 pm *dragon is a comfy hat* ((typo)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:41 pm @P: [[Minor structural issues.]] Omicron 9:41 pm ((pfffft)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:42 pm @VP: [[Don't. It was - good to make sure he knew.]] Windchill 9:42 pm *HEY, who's prodding her? The strange dragon? How rude! Blue opens her nasty bug mouth at the both of them.* Smokescreen 9:42 pm just do it roberthan Prowl 9:42 pm @S: ...of course. Omicron 9:42 pm That won't work on me young one. I live with all sorts of insecticons Smokescreen 9:42 pm ... I should ping my mate w wait why does she have a problem ItsyBitsySpyers 9:43 pm *Buzzsaw comes flying in with Racer bundled up in his feelers. He deposits the youngling right next to Icy before heading back out.* Windchill 9:44 pm *Blue pouts and sits on her haunches. She always gets what she wants!* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:44 pm *He was in the middle of surveying Kaon and had to break to make the delivery. Work won't wait for a movie.* Specs 9:44 pm *the dragon huffs at the worm. how cute!* VProwl 9:45 pm @S «It was petty. Sorry you feel the need to miss the ending.» Omicron 9:45 pm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ratchet 9:45 pm [[ i really like this dragon's design ]] Windchill 9:45 pm *Chill turns to make sure his spawn isn't eating anyone. So far so good.* Specs 9:45 pm *HEEEEEEERE'S RACER!* *peeps at the baby* ((I know, right! she's such a pretty design!)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:46 pm @VP: [[...Perhaps. Perhaps not. Rumble will tell him about it later.]] *He doesn't really know whether or not it was petty. It feels like it could have been, but at the same time, he's pretty sure Prowl has every right to keep complaining for a while after the scale of his error.* Smokescreen 9:46 pm I wish I could transform into a dragon with magic... ItsyBitsySpyers 9:46 pm //Seeya, scales.// Windchill 9:47 pm Not me. I like turning into a jet. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:48 pm //Primus. How they ain't passed out of fear....// Omicron 9:48 pm *shifts and ducks her head, sorry Blue, fluffy dragons riding along as Icy shifts forward, dropping her head as racer runs over purring as best she can right now, nuzzling her hatchling* Smokescreen 9:48 pm They're brave humans! Blaster 9:48 pm That....ended well? Windchill 9:48 pm *Blue huffs. There's no food on this dragon!* Smokescreen 9:49 pm ... he knew her for an even shorter amount of time wait w what is that Smokescreen 9:50 pm Awww that is a cute troll though Blaster 9:50 pm .... Windchill 9:51 pm If you overlook the trying to eat people part. Fine by me. Smokescreen 9:51 pm Hey, I've been eaten by worse Windchill 9:51 pm I don't want to know. Blaster 9:51 pm I was kinda joking, but it all did end well for everyone. Queen aside Smokescreen 9:51 pm Good! Prowl 9:51 pm *...Prowl decides for once she doesn't want to know* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:51 pm ((mark time: 10:12)) Omicron 9:51 pm ?? *heard queen? whaat? she's cuddling her hatchling* Blaster 9:52 pm -whoops- Not you, sorry. The one in the movie Smokescreen 9:52 pm /Oh man yeah he's about to sing along/ Windchill 9:52 pm *Blue slides off of the dragon. Where's the food?* Specs 9:52 pm *beeps at Blue again* Windchill 9:53 pm *Blue tosses her fat head. She's not falling for that this time!* Omicron 9:53 pm Racer: *chattering at blue! climbs on Icy's head to tackle dragon* Specs 9:54 pm Hi, Racer! *OOF. oh well. licks Racer on the snout and pats his belly.* Prowl 9:54 pm *Mulan doesn't sound the same when talking, that's... odd* Windchill 9:54 pm *Blue turns back to look at the new voice...and squints her one eye.* Smokescreen 9:56 pm /he's standing up to sort of dance along while singing/ Omicron 9:56 pm Racer *exited squeaking and chitters from his spot, wiggles over Dragon- fives a lick and falls down onto Icy's back* Windchill 9:56 pm *Don't step on any babies!* Smokescreen 9:56 pm /He won't!/ Blaster 9:57 pm ....that's cute Windchill 9:57 pm The fuck? Specs 9:57 pm *aw, Racer is perfect* Smokescreen 9:57 pm ...... w is this one of the direct to video ones Windchill 9:58 pm Did the animation give it away? Smokescreen 9:58 pm ... the teeth look so weird Prowl 9:58 pm *finishes her drink and gets up to leave* VProwl 9:58 pm ((hearing iago sing is the most hilarious thing ever)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:58 pm //This bird's singin's a fraggin' war crime.// VProwl 9:58 pm ((i unironically love this movie)) Smokescreen 9:59 pm Hey!

Have a good night, Prowl.

Windchill 10:02 pm Bye, Smokescreen. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:02 pm *Rumble pops up onto his feet and dusts himself off. He starts cleaning.* Prowl 10:02 pm *does that mean Prowl passes by Prowl on the way out?* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:03 pm *Soundwave heads back down to help him with that. Might as well not leave his deployer to it.* VProwl 10:03 pm *if she hurries before he disappears.* Omicron 10:03 pm @Prowl: expect a comm from me, or my ship Prowl 10:03 pm *just pings him as she passes by where he's standing, hello alternate* VProwl 10:04 pm *returns the pi—* @P «I'm so sorry. I forgot to give you a video feed.» Prowl 10:04 pm @P: I had the audio description and it was... not a movie I'll want to see again really.

How dare he suggest such a thing?!* Smokescreen 10:08 pm @Soundwave: ::Aww, dang. Still, can I come over later?:: Windchill 10:08 pm *Windchill winces.* I guess not. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:08 pm @SS: [[In a few days.]] Windchill 10:09 pm We're out, guys. Smokescreen 10:09 pm @Soundwave: ::Okay, that works for me. Also- I don't mean to pry, but you should probably talk to Prowl. You guys have been fighting for a while!:: Omicron 10:09 pm ((I love this song)) Smokescreen 10:10 pm ::Like, two weeks now?

No need to disappoint the youngling.* VProwl 10:14 pm ... Pbbt. Omicron 10:14 pm Racer: =3!! *flaps his wings at them!!* ((everyone have a restful night!)) VProwl 10:17 pm *... And between saying goodnight to his alternate and goodnight to Racer, Prowl's now the last guest. And Soundwave's back.* *well. something he has to say, anyway.* VProwl 10:19 pm ... If I need to subtly extract you from an unpleasant situation in the future, I'll remember that "incident in Harmonex" is your code. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:21 pm *Soundwave freezes with a table in midair in his arms. It's a little awkward. He'd sort of thought Prowl would just... leave, like he sometimes did. Not that Prowl was waiting around on him.* [[...One of many.]] VProwl 10:22 pm Should I know others? ItsyBitsySpyers 10:22 pm *All right. So they're going to talk, then.* *He sets the table down, turns around, and sits on it.* [[He supposes that depends on what happens from here.]] [[He'd like to teach you more of them.]] VProwl 10:23 pm *oh no he's sitting.* ... If it's a long list, we can discuss it another time. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:25 pm [[...Oh. If you - have somewhere to go, then. He'd thought you'd stayed to--]] *Stands up again, feeling more than a little foolish.* [[He thought you wanted to talk. Had hoped, more accurately. He apologizes.]] VProwl 10:26 pm No, I just—before I went, thought I'd say that... But you—hoped to talk about—something? ItsyBitsySpyers 10:29 pm [[He understands. Thank you. And he did, yes. He was tired of - /not/ talking, really. It seemed - better, for a little while. And then it was not.]] VProwl 10:31 pm ... Ah. Yes. Well. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:31 pm [[He's mi--]] *No.* [[He was wondering how long you thought it would be. Until - something. Any new news, or... decisions, or changes.]] VProwl 10:31 pm *tries to think of something to add. ... he's got nothing.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:32 pm [[Or if he should be doing something that he isn't.]] VProwl 10:33 pm *so, awkward shrug.* I was—considering... er. Going back to. *awkward head tilt toward couch.* But I didn't know if Smokescreen was going to, and the thought of him settling himself onto the same couch as me is, just— *He tactfully elects not to end that thought.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:33 pm [[You don't like him. He remembers.]] *Not so much here for tact about other people right now. He needs it all for this subject.* VProwl 10:35 pm Mm. But he didn't, this week. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:36 pm [[...Smokescreen said he would be allowed to read it for no reason other than to read it.]] *Kinda sorta pointing at the reason for that behind his back in a subject dancing way.* VProwl 10:37 pm So. ... Next week, I guess. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:41 pm [[If you wish. /Only/ if you wish. He can wait longer if you would prefer that. You don't--]] *The feeler he never put away wobbles uncertainly.* [[He doesn't want you to pretend you are fine with that because he - because of him. If you aren't fine with it. He would understand if you were still-- if it has to take longer.]] *A brief pause, and then, a little hurriedly, because he doesn't know how Prowl will read that:* [[Though he is not trying to discourage you if you /are/ fine with it.]] VProwl 10:42 pm I'd decided I'm going to next week when I saw that he's no longer sitting with you. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:44 pm [[Ah. Good. That it was not because he asked, that is. He just wanted to be sure.]] *Soundwave quietly resists the urge to bury his face in his hands. He's terrible at this.* [[Thank you. Ahead of time.]] VProwl 10:45 pm Yeah. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:51 pm *Soundwave's feeler twitches this way and that for a second before curling back to wrap itself around Soundwave's arm. No contact attempt temptation now.* ??[[...He tried to find something interesting for next week. A mechanical police officer in a corrupt city overrun by crime. It isn't the most - comfortable content, at times,]] *A polite way of nodding to certain things,* [[But he thought it might be - er. Interesting. If it turns out not to be, there's another story. A longer one, the first season of a series. A different officer cleaning corruption, a long mystery, and underworld dealings. It seemed like a - like something we might both enjoy, together.]] [[...But he is keeping you. He apologizes.]] *Soundwave makes a small hand motion to indicate that he's done talking. Prowl can stay or go as he pleases.* VProwl 10:54 pm *A small pause to process that; and then a jerky nod.* I'll be there. *Is that what Soundwave's hoping to hear? He doesn't usually tell Prowl several weeks in advance what they're going to be watching, nor so blatantly cater the things he shows the general audience to Prowl's tastes. Is Soundwave trying to bribe Prowl into continuing to come? Does he need reassurance he's still going to attend?* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:56 pm *No. He's trying to alert Prowl to the possibility of mind interference or sharp objects in people's hands a week ahead of time so Prowl doesn't have to put himself through it if he doesn't want to just because he showed up. And then keep talking, because he did miss Prowl.* *But he stopped the latter part.* [[All right.]] VProwl 10:57 pm *Well. Consider Prowl un-alerted, because he thought the not-the-most-comfortable-content would be the things one might typically expect a cop to experience in a corrupt city overrun by crime.* *i.e., corruption and crime.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:58 pm *He's going to regret not choosing more blatant wording, isn't he.* VProwl 10:58 pm *probably* *he can't think of anything else to say. and Soundwave doesn't appear to have anything else to say. so.* ... I'll see you next week. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:00 pm [[Yes. All right. He will look forward to that.]] *Pause.* [[...Get good recharge.]] VProwl 11:01 pm Right. And you. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:01 pm *Nod.* VProwl 11:02 pm ... Bye. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:02 pm [[Goodnight.]] VProwl 11:02 pm *disappears.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:03 pm *Soundwave sits back down on the table with a vent that can't make up its mind whether it's disappointed or relieved, looks over to see Rumble watching with his head resting on his arms resting on the couch arm, and stands back up again. There's cleaning to do.* *Rumble just shrugs and moves over to help.*
