#im a Dino roleplay blog!!

[popfizzles]

i wanna get into doing more cookie run content! so two things;

1 - please send me asks for it! i’m way more versed in Ovenbreak lore than Kingdom lore, though a long break left some huge holes in my understanding of either games (I stopped just before Dino Sour was brought to Ovenbreak. Where did all these fucking dragons come from??). I’m cool to take requests to draw cookies, or talk about some headcanons I have if you’re into that??

2 - follow @rosy-champagne if you’re into oc interaction and roleplay! i’m in the process of revamping a lot of things on that blog, and it’ll be more active in the coming weeks!!!

also i may or may not be looking for active cookie blogs myself to interact with so if you see me following you. im sorry HGLKSDFHGKL

Roleplaying/Writing

My favorite muse(s) of theirs and why

Gosh dang it. You’re really gonna make me pick? Alright... for now I’m gonna go with Lief because he’s a Good Boy (tm). So sweet and caring to Oliver. Their relationship is so nice when Lief isn’t bringing / cooking wild animals in his home x’D Also I just enjoy his view on things. So simple, and amusing at times

My favorite interaction/thread of theirs

Again. Pick?! Hm... That food fight in the IMs was pretty funny x3 Aeron and Jace making play bites their Thing (tm) was also good. Or that thing with them as kids playing with dino toys together. It wasn’t a thread but it was so freaking cute

My thoughts on their unique characterization/interpretation of their muse(s)

CONTENT. ALL THE C O N T E N T!!!!!

Anyone that gets to see such content should feel blessed. You have SO MANY muses and they’re all so unique and real. Also seriously love how they connect in this relationship web that I’ve only seen part of

My thoughts on their writing style as a whole

Good shit bro. Sometimes a little overwhelming but good

Situation(s)/Plot(s) I’d love to see their muse(s) in

ALL OF THEM??!?! But to be more specific, H.unger G.ames or T.he G.ood P.lace plot would be cool. Ooo A.merican H.orror S.tory? C.oven or A.pocolypse? Omg humor me with a C.ells At W.ork AU. ( Eira and Tancred can be the white and red blood cell!!! ) Or another anime, P.arasyte? U.mbrella A.cademy?! D.etective P.ikachu / P.okemon?!?! All the plots Thorn.

Someone else I love seeing them interact with

I honestly don’t read a lot of threads n stuff outside of what I’m doing. Sometimes things will catch my eye but otherwise... heh... I do be seein u with ofwondersandhares a lot tho. So there’s that?

Anything else I want to say about their roleplaying

I really don’t get why people don’t write with you more. There’s a lot of opportunity right there for people. :/

And did I mention content?! You know so much about your muses. I aspire to be that in tune with these guys one day

If We Know Each Other

What I Think Are Their Best Qualities

Honesty. I mean sometimes it can be pretty blunt but I don’t really have to be guessing what you might not be saying. I figure if you have a problem with me you’ll tell me. Which is kinda relieving to me. Helps when I overthink.

Also ridiculously imaginative. I mean do I really need to elaborate on this one?

What I Think Are Their Strengths

Besides the answer to the above question, you don’t take things to heart too much, which I admire since I do that all the time. It’s great you can brush things off and move on to other good things without getting too caught up in being upset

A Memorable OOC Interaction Of Ours

First game night. Absolutely one of the best nights I’ve ever had. Hilarious. Can’t wait to do it again. The fact that we named the killer Asher was AMAZING

Why Others Should RP With Them

Hello if it’s not clear from what I’ve been saying then idk how to help you. The sheer vastness of content for all the rp you could ever want is right there man. So much opportunity! All the little details and plots too!! Bonus, you get a friend that will give you head pats- no, wait. those are mine. But still, good fren! *pats their head* A lot of friENDSHIP can fit in here

How Others Should Approach Them

You could toss them some memes. Pretty sure they crave them lol ( Not like they don’t post about it ). And as a multi I am well aware of the specifying muse deal but I don’t think they mind so much that they won’t answer. You’ll just get whatever they roll lol BUT definitely specify muse if you can bc like I said, as a multi, it’s just better that way especially with the number of muses they have. OR you could do the big brain move and IM them “Hey I wanna write with you but I have no idea where to start with your muses. Do you have a preference?” and you guys can talk about who would mesh well together and then you can send memes or write a starter or even get a starter! Pretty sure it’s the same for anyone.

Funny note on that one tho. I think they approached me ooc by just sending my a post in IMs. I don’t even remember what it was or why they sent it. I was wildly confused but ya know. Gotta start somewhere lol Point is, you’ll be fine approaching them however you do. Just don’t ghost.

Other Roleplayers I’d Recommend To Them

You could write with the Teares’ siblings ( in the verse where they are related at least. Haven’t talked about if that’ll be a main thing or not ), baby sis @the-wonderland-jinx and Aeron’s twin @faultycode. The other muses on there are also great.

@klavz​ is a great Klaus imo. The dialogue is so on point. Like I could actually hear Klaus saying those things. Whether you feel the same is up to you but... definitely give ‘em a chance.

There are others but it’s more of a general ‘I like them’ rather than having specific reasons you’d mesh well with / be interested in them.

Anything else I want to say about them

I think I’ve said quite a lot already lol Anything more is pretty much a repeat

I like writing with them. I like talking to them. I think they’re pretty cool and I think other people ought to check them out. A summary by me

If We Have/Plan To Interact Together

A plot I’d like to write with them

Ooo. Um. I know a lot of plots probably got lost bc I’ll come up with an idea and then get distracted with something else. But if I remember any of those definitely lol Also now that I’m on a fresh new blog I will heckin put that shit in a post so I don’t lose it.

That thing where Aeron drops into Wonderland and runs into Soulless!Asher is still in my drafts if you still want that to be a thing. So not all things were lost! lol

But getting back to the question, outside of those sort of things, and being more specific than just everything... T.he G.ood P.lace plot seems good. Pretending these people got into ‘heaven’ when they’re actually in a special hell that tortures them psychologically by picking a set of people that would eternally torture each other bc their personalities and behaviors clash perfectly. Asher ( or all your deadly sin demons really ) would definitely get a kick out of that I bet. Especially on Aeron. Ooo and Oliver.

A muse I want to introduce to them

Max. He’s a muse that’s gonna be on my other multi. He’s a soft boi like Oliver but not as fragile. Very friendly, and actually not human! He’s a changeling that ended up being raised human. Still working on him but I feel like he is basically the peak of my creativity lmao

A ship/broship I’d like to propose to them

I mean I know we mentioned it but Post!Oliver and Tancred would be cool. And I say Post! bc I’m pretty sure Tancred would stay the heck away from him otherwise lol

Also! Lorelei should meet Killian sometime. I’ve never really figured out her and Oliver’s relationship soo... It’s bound to be interesting whatever I do on the fly lol

A thread with them I’m excited about

Every time I see you in my notifications I get excited. But I suppose I am pretty excited for that band ask to turn into a thread 👀

Anything else I want to say

At this point, you might as well follow them if you follow me. Spice up your dash with whatever they’re into for the moment. Find new interests. Learn how to develop your muse

Please read that with the same energy as ‘fuck around and find out’

1. what are some writing tics that persist in your work but that you dislike

super sucky conversation flow (it gets SOOOOOOOOOO AWKWARD. i hate it). flirty lines (i suck at them). overuse of adverbs (ly).

most of all, my inability to stick to a plot/au because im not good enough to put them in writing.

2. what does your id want? do you ever give in?

awful endings. everyone dies/is heartbroken. i...give in most of the time. oops.

3. You have to erase one of your fics from existence forever. Which one and why?

everything in my oldest ffnet account please. those mary sue rikuxleas are awful. im so sorry, world

4. how much do you trust the reader?

i tend to be very vague with my symbolisms and such. i guess i do trust the reader to see what i mean.

5. have you ever written anything you would’ve backclicked if it’d been written by anyone else?

i dont think so

6. what’s your guilty pleasure as a writer?

flowery words everywhere. phrases that come in trios. a successful start-end parallel.

7. be honest: are you mean to your faves, or do you go easy on them?

i am mean to them.

8. what parts of writing a fic do you think are a chore?

beggining an au is fine. keeping the momentum going is a lot of work, especially when i lose confidence in where i think the story is going.

9. are there any unintentional trends in your writing?

bad endings. my waifu kills me for that. LOL

10. have you ever intentionally written a character as OOC to fit with a kink/prompt/story idea?

i dont think i have??? never intentionally probs XD

July 24 Dancitron Movie Night - Titanic

Basically everyone hated the main characters. Most of the room was disappointed in how many of them survived. Swoop seems to have never figured out that they weren’t, in fact, watching Twister.

Prowl went to a dark place after the movie. It probably doesn’t help that, after the movie, he asked to see the entire real-time two hour and forty minute CGI reconstruction of the Titanic sinking. And then sat there and watched the entire thing.

ItsyBitsySpyers 7:35 pm *Soundwave sets a folded up tarp behind himself before he gets comfortable in his usual spot. It's gonna be a long night.* FakeProwl 7:35 pm *look who's here early tonight* Bevel 7:36 pm *trundles in and to what's become her usual seat* ItsyBitsySpyers 7:36 pm *Soundwave pings Prowl hello and nods.* *And then does the same to Bevel.* Bevel 7:36 pm *waves to Soundwave and Prowl* FakeProwl 7:36 pm *nods back. very polite and professional. and cool and calm.* boomtank 7:37 pm -and Blaster is just going to wander in now- Bevel 7:38 pm *waves to Blaster* ItsyBitsySpyers 7:38 pm *Is surprised by Blaster's early appearance. Hello bob, same's the others.* boomtank 7:38 pm -tired wave to both- ((mun has to pick up Primus in about half an hour, otherwise I'd be letting Unicron do it FakeProwl 7:41 pm *Prowl's not entirely sure, as he hasn't been playing the closest attention, but this MIGHT be the best pre-movie music channel Soundwave has played thus far.* ItsyBitsySpyers 7:41 pm *There are others he'd like to play, but silly Earthlings don't always make sure their channels are functional 24/7. This one IS good though.* ((is that a specsdragon i see)) ((and say hi to primus and unicron for me o/ )) Small Furry Dragon 7:42 pm ((hi it is me)) FakeProwl 7:43 pm ((*waves)) Small Furry Dragon 7:43 pm ((I finally get to sit in ur channel and pat ur zori)) boomtank 7:43 pm ((Unicron is over my shoulder and waved at the screen Bevel 7:44 pm *has shifted to a more modern train alt mode so she fits the uniend/aligned aesthetic a bit more than usual. she's still mostly purple with blue tho because those colors are awesome fight her* ((heya ooc peeps FakeProwl 7:45 pm ((*waves at unicron too*)) ItsyBitsySpyers 7:45 pm ((starting in 15 so y'all get snacks or whatever you need)) FakeProwl 7:45 pm ((will brb with food)) FakeProwl 7:55 pm ((brb'ed with food)) Impact 7:56 pm ((Soooo, what's the movie? :3)) ItsyBitsySpyers 7:56 pm ((Titanic)) Small Furry Dragon 7:57 pm *puts out some energon cookies for the movies* *retreats to a nice corner for the duration* Bevel 7:58 pm ((i saw titanic in theater when i was teeny Impact 7:58 pm ((i've never actually seen it!)) ItsyBitsySpyers 7:59 pm *Soundwave notices cookies he didn't add to the snacks have appeared on the bar. Knowing it's been a while since Zori's had any, he calls Zori down with the others.

Shockwave 7:59 pm ((Ah, found the right tab. Hello there.)) Impact 7:59 pm ((I don't know if i'll last the whole movie because sleeepy)) ((at least impact already knows the titanic sinks)) ItsyBitsySpyers 7:59 pm ((OKAY SO HERE'S THE WARNINGS: I don't really know. I adore y'all but I ain't watching a 3 hour movie twice in 24 hours to screen. There's partial nudity at some point, death, classist junk, and idk what else.)) Bevel 8:00 pm ((it's the titanic story but with random ocs as the stars instead of any of the awesome real life ppl basically Impact 8:00 pm *Is immediately distracted by Zori's presence when she comes in* Zori! 3:D ItsyBitsySpyers 8:01 pm *Zori pauses with a cookie halfway to his mouth and blinks his visor.

I suppose I should let you all know that I've sort of changed blogs-- I'm doing a shitposting thing now, with normal roleplaying in between.))

That, next week. Impact 8:07 pm Spooky FakeProwl 8:07 pm *mutters* Which means Swoop is going to be insufferable. *quiet sigh* Shockwave 8:07 pm *Fairly biased, Shockwave would think. They are on opposing sides, though Shockwave can't imagine what another version of himself did to inspire a revulsion quite that intense.* Small Furry Dragon 8:07 pm *someone small is too busy having their vision blocked by Swoop. hope Impact and Bevel don't mind a furry friend coming to join them.* Swoop 8:07 pm This floaty movie. Us go OUT and do floaty thing instead 😃 😃 😃 Shockwave 8:07 pm *...Not that he's very motivated to find out.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:08 pm *Zori pats the dragon hello.

Impact 8:09 pm *Furry friends are great!* Swoop 8:09 pm *literally only puts up with these boring movies for the chance at making bird laugh with awful jokes* Bevel 8:09 pm *zori is big enough that petting him would not require her to be extremely careful hmmmm* Impact 8:09 pm eeeew wet stuff ItsyBitsySpyers 8:09 pm [[Disgusting.]] Swoop 8:10 pm Keheheh Sludge come back to cave, look like that! Sometimes :> Shockwave 8:10 pm *Shockwave finds himself quite intrigued by the small furry dragon, aware that one of his alternates specializes in dragon-esque creatures.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:10 pm [[As he said.

Him say no exploding, thanks kehehehhehehh Shockwave 8:16 pm *Though he ponders the small dragon's origin, he turns his focus back to the film after not too long.* Impact 8:16 pm *giggles* a dish! Small Furry Dragon 8:17 pm *whispers* Well-plated food can be pretty. Prettier than naked humans. *preens* Swoop 8:17 pm When tornado attack, Soundwave? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:17 pm [[No tornadoes. It is a sea adventure.]] Impact 8:17 pm naked humans look weird Swoop 8:17 pm SEA tornato *tornado Impact 8:18 pm i like food better!

ItsyBitsySpyers 8:18 pm [[Is it a protective measure?]] FakeProwl 8:19 pm *ooh. forensic reconstruction of a wreck.* Impact 8:19 pm I think it stops being stretchy so it wrinkles!

ItsyBitsySpyers 8:23 pm *Soundwave looks over at Prowl and resumes his slow tip in that direction.* [[Why?]] FakeProwl 8:24 pm Imagine me turning into one of those. Small Furry Dragon 8:24 pm *the dragon blinks at the "health inspection"* What an odd thing. Windchill 8:24 pm (( Jfc this film. )) Bevel 8:24 pm I went to an Earth before this. It was cool.

Me Swoop could snap in half. No hands! Glub glub ItsyBitsySpyers 8:25 pm *Soundwave tries to imagine Prowl as one of those cars.* Swoop 8:25 pm *is here to do two things: impress Bird and murder fish* *sadly, neither are present* Windchill 8:25 pm *Takes a seat near the back.* *points* Horses.

All Earth vehicles are, of course, but these are even worse. Windchill 8:27 pm *Windchill appears to be thinking.* FakeProwl 8:28 pm The engine block is solid enough, but I feel like the rest of it would snap in half trying to transform. Bevel 8:28 pm You would need a really small bot to make a car like those. Windchill 8:28 pm *It's an illusion. He points at Rumble.* Not-horse. Swoop 8:28 pm Them run over little boat next time :V Bevel 8:28 pm *holds her hands up* Really thin. Windchill 8:28 pm *And that's that.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:28 pm [[He manages well enough.]] Gestures to himself. Tags it as humor. FakeProwl 8:28 pm *glances at Soundwave. Manages to not quite smile.* ... Fair enough. Small Furry Dragon 8:28 pm Don't they have ways to clean their fur? We have sprays for that. But more ice too, I think. Impact 8:29 pm *giggles* Picasso!

Small Furry Dragon 8:42 pm It's a pretty ship. Swoop 8:42 pm Everyone sucks. When tornado come, Soundwave? Windchill 8:42 pm I could be a lot warmer. Swoop 8:42 pm KAHAH! Small Furry Dragon 8:43 pm I suppose this is more dramatic for people without wings. Whirl 8:43 pm *nods* Or people who aren't waterproof. Swoop 8:43 pm What them mad for? 😕 Whirl 8:43 pm Pfft, way to stick up for the guy. Seems a bit too little, too late. Impact 8:44 pm *scoffs* Swoop 8:44 pm Her Carly beat Him up Windchill 8:44 pm *Whispers.* Impact 8:44 pm 'women and machinery" WHAT A DUMB ItsyBitsySpyers 8:44 pm *Catches the mumble and thinks back to Prowl 's request back when he had the pipe through his head. ... Not a thought for now. Saves that for later.* Small Furry Dragon 8:44 pm *the dragon just bares their teeth* Humans are weird. Windchill 8:44 pm Whirl. Sit on me. Bevel 8:44 pm Humans are dumb. Whirl 8:44 pm *whispers back* No. I'll put my feet on you, at best. I don't do the sitting. FakeProwl 8:45 pm Why did she wait until AFTER he'd been handcuffed to come up with the story? Whirl 8:45 pm Exactly! Windchill 8:45 pm I'll take what I can get. Whirl 8:45 pm You'd think she could've stopped them right away. Windchill 8:45 pm Because she's selfish and stupid. Bevel 8:45 pm Maybe she was upset about almost dying? Small Furry Dragon 8:45 pm She could have bitten someone. He could have bitten someone. Whirl 8:45 pm THAT's no big deal at all! FakeProwl 8:46 pm Ah. Of course. Shock. Impact 8:46 pm oh! the mirror! ItsyBitsySpyers 8:46 pm [[And there's no tornado, Swoop.

Who knows.* FakeProwl 8:47 pm *mutters* For the people who were paying attention. Impact 8:47 pm I was paying attention! ItsyBitsySpyers 8:47 pm [[Except the ability to make her own choices, apparently.]] Whirl 8:47 pm If my feet get cold, I'm taking them back. FakeProwl 8:47 pm If there's nothing he couldn't give her then why doesn't he give her a little bit of dignity. Windchill 8:47 pm Okay. I've been warned. Small Furry Dragon 8:47 pm Where I come from, girls eat men who try to control them. Whirl 8:48 pm That's a good way of handling that sort of thing. People who wanna control you. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:48 pm =I approve.= Whirl 8:48 pm I suppose maiming will do, if eating isn't an option? Bevel 8:48 pm Eat the rich jerk, Rose. Impact 8:49 pm *giggles madly because eating the rich* Whirl 8:49 pm Why the hell would she bring it up if she doesn't wanna talk to him about it? Small Furry Dragon 8:49 pm Our goddess did that, they say. Well, ate a god. I'm not sure he was rich. *wiggles wings in kind of a shrug* I guess we're not made to be controlled. Windchill 8:50 pm Crush her hand. Damn it. Whirl 8:50 pm Nice. I don't think my goddess ever ate anyone. Not really her schtick. What's yours called? Windchill 8:50 pm She's almost as bad as her beau. Whirl 8:50 pm *antenna pins back briefly and he shoots a Look at Windchill* FakeProwl 8:50 pm They're obnoxious and I can't stand either of them. Windchill 8:51 pm *Side eyes Whirl* *What.* Impact 8:51 pm boooooobs Small Furry Dragon 8:51 pm We only have the one. She's just the Goddess. I think the Cousins have a name for her, but my kind doesn't. Whirl 8:52 pm Huh. Interesting. Windchill 8:52 pm *Whatever, then.* Bevel 8:52 pm Rude. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:52 pm [[Two minutes ago she was insulting him.]] *Shakes his helm.* Swoop 8:53 pm Them hats big :> Like bird kehehehehh Bird with flowers Bevel 8:53 pm *giggles* Whirl 8:53 pm *peers* Is that the lady?

Voices are easier to change. Whirl 8:54 pm *speaking of voices, he heard a familiar one earlier, and swivels his helm around; is Ravage at the bar?* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:54 pm [[A squid boat? A boat with squid?]] Whirl 8:54 pm Smell's the best way to do it. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:54 pm *Ravage is ON the bar.* Windchill 8:54 pm Smell? Impact 8:54 pm a boat for catching squid? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:54 pm [[...They are already making plans?]] Windchill 8:54 pm You should smell me. I might be stinky. Swoop 8:55 pm Kehehhehehheheh Small Furry Dragon 8:55 pm For catching squid, I think. We have them for the water worms. Whirl 8:55 pm I already have. I more or less always am. *withdraws his legs and stands up* You smell like ice and earth. Which is... kind of weird. But makes sense. 'Scuse me. Windchill 8:55 pm Lame. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:55 pm *Cringing so hard. Gross human fluids.* Swoop 8:55 pm KEHEHEHHHEHHH Windchill 8:55 pm You should sniff Swoop then. FakeProwl 8:55 pm She's switched out one man who tells her what not to do for another man who doesn't listen when she says she doesn't want to do something. Swoop 8:55 pm *loves this* Impact 8:55 pm eeeew Swoop 8:55 pm *best part of the movie* Whirl 8:56 pm I'm more or less always smelling everyone, Windchill. Shockwave 8:56 pm *Really did not enjoy that scene.* Windchill 8:56 pm I mean get in REAL CLOSE. Small Furry Dragon 8:56 pm No, you eat insects. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:56 pm [[She has terrible taste.]] Whirl 8:56 pm *and sliiides on up to the bar* Hey barkeep. I think I might owe you? FakeProwl 8:56 pm She doesn't have taste. The first man, I'm sure, was thrust upon her. The second one thrust himself upon her. Windchill 8:57 pm I like this lady the best, I think. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:57 pm *Ravage crosses his paws and stares at Whirl.* =Little bit. You have payment?= Swoop 8:57 pm Penguins Windchill 8:57 pm Nah, not penguins. Small Furry Dragon 8:57 pm Mealworms, I think, Swoop. They're tasteless. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:57 pm [[She would be best served abandoning them both and enjoying her time on the ship alone.]] Windchill 8:57 pm Penguins work for their dinner. FakeProwl 8:58 pm Taste has nothing to do with it. She's afforded no agency. The one thing in this entire movie she chose to do for herself, she was prevented from completing. Swoop 8:58 pm Yuh-huh penguins black and white ItsyBitsySpyers 8:58 pm [[A fair point.]] Swoop 8:58 pm waddle Windchill 8:58 pm ...So am I! Whirl 8:58 pm Nothing fancy this time. Just an exchange. *whispers* Swiped this from Swerve's. *and he procures a bottle of what passes for Cybertronian wine; nothing fancy, but fine enough* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:58 pm //Wooooow. Cold.// Windchill 8:58 pm Maybe I was a penguin all along. Swoop 8:58 pm Maybe! Windchill 8:59 pm I can waddle too, if I want. Swoop 8:59 pm DO it Bevel 8:59 pm She got another pretty dress. Windchill 8:59 pm Okay! Impact 8:59 pm *reads up on Molly Brown on her tablet instead of watching* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:59 pm *Ravage sniffs the bottle. He doesn't have Ratbat's nose for fuel - it's made for tracking other things - but he can smell it well enough.* Impact 8:59 pm Molly Brown was cool! Small Furry Dragon 8:59 pm His hair's even shiny like some sort of beetle! Doesn't he clean himself? Windchill 8:59 pm *He gets up, and sidles around behind the seats, waddling back and forth. Proof.* Bevel 9:00 pm *leans over to read over Impact's shoulder* Swoop 9:00 pm *EXPLODES laughing at Windchill, complete with random flailing* Impact 9:00 pm ((there was this titanic game we used to play)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:00 pm =Good.= *Grabs it in his tail claws and hops behind the bar* Windchill 9:00 pm *Honk honks.* Impact 9:00 pm ((it was in french, we sucked at it and kept getting shot)) Swoop 9:00 pm *chirps* Whirl 9:00 pm *nods* Good. Any chance I can get something tonight, and settle my tab next week? FakeProwl 9:00 pm ((> titanic > getting shot what kind of titanic)) Windchill 9:01 pm *Slows just enough to eye the film.* Gossip. My specialty. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:01 pm =Yes. You are good for it.= Whirl 9:01 pm Nice. The usual, if you don't mind. Impact 9:01 pm ((you're supposed to solve a mystery or something before it sinks, i think?)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:01 pm *It'll be up in less than a minute.* Windchill 9:02 pm *Sits down, making a pained expression.* *What nonsense.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:03 pm [[...What is that goo.]] Windchill 9:03 pm Eggs. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:03 pm [[...They're very small.]] Small Furry Dragon 9:04 pm Are they bug's eggs? Windchill 9:04 pm I think they're fish? FakeProwl 9:04 pm *sounds like a miserable way to exist* Bevel 9:04 pm *sounds almost enjoyable to her, with less sleeping under bridges* Windchill 9:04 pm *An optic narrows. He's sure he has everything worth knowing about caviar in his Earth database somewhere, but he can't be bothered.* Small Furry Dragon 9:05 pm *wiggles wings in another shrug* We have bigger fish where I come from. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:05 pm *Is quite content having somewhere to stay now.* *Two somewheres, in fact.* Whirl 9:05 pm *has more or less had his fair share of sleeping in streets and under bridges. But. Well. He might have to get used to that again* *he's gonna take his drink as soon as it's done and return to his seat* Bevel 9:06 pm *technically has two places, but considers Blurr's ship her current address* Windchill 9:06 pm *Let's not start a conversation on horrible places we've all slept.* Impact 9:06 pm It's a party FakeProwl 9:08 pm *she says she can't do it and he straight-up ignores her and pulls her closer.* Windchill 9:08 pm That looks exhausting. Bevel 9:08 pm *nods her head along to the music* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:08 pm *And now she's said to stop and he hasn't.* Bevel 9:08 pm This looks fun. Whirl 9:08 pm *he likes his definition of a party more, at least; hunkers down over his drink like a horrid gargoyle* Swoop 9:08 pm Keheh them tap tap tap tap! Windchill 9:09 pm (( I'm sorry all I can think of atm is my coworker who got drunk, went hiking and decided to Irish tap dance when he got up there. Busted his ankle.)) FakeProwl 9:09 pm *had to turn his audials down to listen to this scene* Swoop 9:09 pm ((Sounds like a fun coworker)) Whirl 9:09 pm ((I REMEMBER THAT(( Windchill 9:09 pm (( My new favourite story. )) Swoop 9:09 pm Him Slag drink like that keheheh Bevel 9:10 pm ... Shockwave 9:10 pm *Being that this film is not historically accurate in any way, these scenes are quite boring to him.* Whirl 9:10 pm En pointe. Nice. Swoop 9:10 pm En pointe ItsyBitsySpyers 9:10 pm [[Impressive.]] Bevel 9:10 pm On point? Swoop 9:10 pm *is a little parrot* Shockwave 9:10 pm ((..I shouldn't say in /any way/, but you get what i mean.)) Whirl 9:10 pm The way she was standing, on the tips of her toes. Kind of difficult for most dancers to do. Impact 9:10 pm on tippy toes! FakeProwl 9:10 pm ((the boat eventually sinks. that's about where the similarities end.)) Bevel 9:10 pm Oh. Impact 9:10 pm humans can dance like that but it hurts Swoop 9:10 pm *immediately scrambles up to his feet to try* Impact 9:10 pm it looks pretty though ItsyBitsySpyers 9:11 pm ((some of the passengers in the latter parts are real people iirc)) Bevel 9:11 pm *watches Swoop* Small Furry Dragon 9:11 pm I think I prefer to dance on all four feet. Whirl 9:11 pm *also watches this* Swoop 9:11 pm *has borb feet for grabbing, not tippy toeing* Whirl 9:11 pm I don t dance, myself. Windchill 9:11 pm Me neither. FakeProwl 9:11 pm *dryly* How long until the tornado? Impact 9:11 pm 😮 Windchill 9:11 pm That was it. Bevel 9:11 pm Eat him. Small Furry Dragon 9:11 pm *hisses* Eat. Him. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:11 pm //Punch his fraggin' lights out.// Impact 9:12 pm eat him! Swoop 9:12 pm *still, he is athletic and mimics the way she slide up her feet until he is on the tips of his toes* Whirl 9:12 pm Hear, hear. *toasts* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:12 pm *Frenzy applauds Swoop* Swoop 9:12 pm *unfortunately, he gets excited and that turns into a wobble which gets hm back on the balls of his feet* aww keheh Bevel 9:12 pm 😞 Whirl 9:12 pm Hey! You did it, birdo. *toasts to that, as well* Windchill 9:12 pm *Claps.* Small Furry Dragon 9:12 pm Wow! Nice job, Swoop! Swoop 9:12 pm *hops to get up on his toes, stays there for a 1 2 3 count, then hops back flat footed* *TA DA!!!* Bevel 9:12 pm *claps for Swoop* Swoop 9:12 pm *poses* Impact 9:12 pm *claps for swoop!* Windchill 9:13 pm Boo hoo.

Bevel 9:13 pm Yes. Whirl 9:13 pm Yep. Impact 9:13 pm mmhmm Bevel 9:14 pm Sell everything but the pretty dresses. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:14 pm *Has like no sympathy.* Bevel 9:14 pm *she has priorities* Small Furry Dragon 9:14 pm Seamstresses are hard workers. I respect them more than I respect that mother.

Swoop 9:15 pm *is way too used to being body slammed for a gust of wind to matter* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:15 pm *She is selling her creation to keep her high caste things. He hopes the creator is first to drown.* Swoop 9:15 pm *turns this pretzel'd mess into a handstand instead* Windchill 9:15 pm *She doesn't deserve to have a creation.* Whirl 9:16 pm She should've. Swoop 9:16 pm *walks around on his hands* Whirl 9:16 pm *toasts Prowl, as well, and drinks yet again* Windchill 9:16 pm *Sniffs.

FakeProwl 9:20 pm He pretends to tell her that she has agency in choosing her future, when what he's doing is ordering her to choose him. Whirl 9:20 pm Romance AND combat. *points at Bevel* At the same time. Windchill 9:20 pm I like that idea. boomtank 9:20 pm ((back Bevel 9:20 pm Romance is boring.

Whirl 9:24 pm ((SWOOP UR KILLING ME HAHAHA)) ((TWISTER)) FakeProwl 9:24 pm Finally. Talk about the wreck more. That part is interesting. Swoop 9:24 pm ((GOOD)) ((I'M KILLING ME TOO)) ((WE DIE TOGETHER)) Whirl 9:24 pm Well, in your defense, you use analogue flight, right? With the flapping? Windchill 9:24 pm Let's pretend to know a thing about art, it's in the script. boomtank 9:25 pm -huffs and goes back to reading. More interesting- ItsyBitsySpyers 9:25 pm [[That's not a heart. It's a triangle.]] Small Furry Dragon 9:25 pm With the flapping, yes. *extends a wing to demonstrate* Whirl 9:25 pm *nods* Yeah! You might not be fast, but analogue flight's pretty neat. Windchill 9:25 pm I can do that. Whirl 9:25 pm Second-best thing to rotors. Windchill 9:25 pm *shakes his head in slow motion.* *It looks even stupider when he does it.* FakeProwl 9:26 pm ... The picture of her was found inside the safe. Windchill 9:26 pm Was that a dime? FakeProwl 9:26 pm Which means her fiance is going to discover the picture. Small Furry Dragon 9:26 pm You think so? It seems so normal to- okay they're taking their clothes off, I'm not going to look. Windchill 9:26 pm I suppose it was worth more then. *points* Boobs. Small Furry Dragon 9:26 pm Zori, may I hide my eyes behind your legs? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:27 pm *Holds a claw up over the dragon's eyes.* Small Furry Dragon 9:27 pm Thank you, Zori. Swoop 9:27 pm Boobs? Whirl 9:27 pm *perks up and swivels his head around* Oh. Hey, Professor. Didn't see ya. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:27 pm #hi *He's hiding with the dragon and Bevel.* Windchill 9:27 pm *He gestures, as if cupping boobs on his own chassis.* Her chest. Swoop 9:27 pm *mimics the gesture with ZERO understanding on his face* Whirl 9:28 pm *stares at this display* Windchill 9:28 pm *Does it again. Make them bounce.* Swoop 9:28 pm *cocks head* Windchill 9:28 pm Boobs. Whirl 9:28 pm Do you have a point. Windchill 9:28 pm Me? Swoop 9:28 pm *looks at Windchill* *looks at Whirl* *looks at Windchill* ??? Bevel 9:29 pm *will be a good barrier between boobs and robots* Swoop 9:29 pm *nope he's got nothing* Whirl 9:29 pm *looks at Swoop, obviously just as confused* I don't know what to do with this creature. Windchill 9:29 pm I just like boobs. FakeProwl 9:29 pm She has lead a sad, sterile life, if that was the most erotic moment of it. I suppose that's not a terrible surprise, given her fiance. Whirl 9:29 pm Eroticism's overrated. Windchill 9:30 pm *snorts.* Small Furry Dragon 9:30 pm ...Is it safe? Whirl 9:30 pm You know you're living life when you've set yourself on fire, somehow. Windchill 9:30 pm It's not so bad. Bevel 9:30 pm Yeah. Swoop 9:30 pm When Wheeljack want to find Dinobots, him shake goodie box Whirl 9:30 pm I'm sure. *takes a nice long pull* Swoop 9:31 pm ME SWOOP on fire ALL THE TIME :V In face Windchill 9:31 pm You are? *Squints.* Swoop 9:31 pm YAH Me Swoop can do fire RIGHT NOW :V Small Furry Dragon 9:31 pm *peeks out from behind Zori's claw* Windchill 9:31 pm Not in Soundwave's place. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:31 pm [[No firebreathing.]] Swoop 9:31 pm Little fire *holds fingertips sooooo close together* FakeProwl 9:32 pm ... Where does she think she's running? This is a ship. Small Furry Dragon 9:32 pm Swoop, I am flammable. Windchill 9:32 pm Do it outside. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:32 pm [[No. There is an organic here.]] FakeProwl 9:32 pm She should have sent Jack out of the room alone and stayed in her room by herself. Whirl 9:32 pm It's probably more fun that way. Swoop 9:32 pm :< Windchill 9:32 pm She doesn't care about consequences. Like me. 'Cept I'm better at running away from them. boomtank 9:33 pm ..... Whirl 9:33 pm Poor thing's desperate to live a little. It's why she does dumb things, like try to run away on a ship. And fling herself at the first person to throw her a shred of sympathy. Small Furry Dragon 9:33 pm I don't think they should be running around fire in long clothes. Whirl 9:33 pm She's miserable. Miserable people do dumb stuff. Windchill 9:33 pm ...This is true. FakeProwl 9:33 pm Oh yes. Run around the pumping piston in a long, flowing dress. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:33 pm [[Her antics are endangering multiple people.]] [[And he is encouraging them.]] Whirl 9:33 pm I'm not defending them. I'm explaining them. Small Furry Dragon 9:33 pm I've got long fur, and the docents chastised me for running in the kitchens. Windchill 9:33 pm She's not smart enough to have thought about it nor care. Swoop 9:33 pm Them watch The Shining in car and then tornado attack tear up movie screen Windchill 9:34 pm ...Why The Shining? Whirl 9:34 pm I think they're just as annoying as you lot do. Swoop 9:34 pm Carly say Shining scary movie ItsyBitsySpyers 9:34 pm //That'd be a blessin' at this point, Swoop.// [[He knows you are explaining. He is just - irritated.]] Windchill 9:34 pm Oh, great Whirl 9:34 pm Have a drink. Soothe your nerves. I happen to know a good bartender. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:34 pm *Taps his visor.* Windchill 9:34 pm *Snorts.* Whirl 9:35 pm *a cheeky, sidelong look before he takes a deep drink* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:35 pm \\I'LL HAVE ONE.\\ Bevel 9:35 pm *bored with all this romance, especially since Jack is almost as bad as the Cal guy* FakeProwl 9:35 pm I can understand the desperation of misery. I'm not going to stop criticizing her for it. Windchill 9:35 pm I'm gonna remember that line. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:35 pm *Frenzy sticks his tongue out a the screen and goes to get something serious from Ravage* FakeProwl 9:35 pm *is quite sure he's JUST as bad as the Cal guy. It's just earlier in the relationship.* Windchill 9:35 pm I know a guy with a lot of hands. Whirl 9:35 pm Hell yeah, Frenzy. Swoop 9:35 pm Him kill her?? FakeProwl 9:35 pm *No controlling abusers are at their worst at the very start of a relationship. Otherwise how do you lure them in?* boomtank 9:35 pm -back to staring at the screen for a moment- Are you joking? Small Furry Dragon 9:36 pm *DUCKS BEHIND THE SAFE ZORI CLAW* Windchill 9:36 pm If only. Whirl 9:36 pm Okay. Now. I'm not an expert, but. There's no room in there for anything fun. boomtank 9:36 pm EW Windchill 9:36 pm Not really, no. Bevel 9:36 pm *gets up to go to the bar with Frenzy* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:36 pm //Yeah, that ain't noticeable or nothin'.// Swoop 9:36 pm ?? Windchill 9:36 pm And I'm an expert. FakeProwl 9:37 pm How long have they known each other, exactly? Is this the third day? Shockwave 9:37 pm ((I keep getting pulled away from the computer, hghghghfhfh.)) Windchill 9:37 pm Something like that. A few days. To be fair. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:37 pm [[...That is a beautiful burn of a letter, though.]] FakeProwl 9:37 pm ... It is. I'm impressed. Windchill 9:37 pm My mate and I only knew each other for a day. Small Furry Dragon 9:37 pm *peeks up from Zori's claw* I missed it. Drat. Windchill 9:37 pm So I can't talk. Bevel 9:38 pm What did it say? *was poking at the bar, not watching the movie whoops* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:38 pm [[She gave the Cal human the drawing and said that he could keep her locked in the safe now.]] boomtank 9:38 pm Oh no Bevel 9:38 pm *giggles* Whirl 9:38 pm Yeah, it was pretty decent. boomtank 9:38 pm distracting the lookout Windchill 9:38 pm Dead. Death by sex. Whirl 9:38 pm That's no way to go. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:39 pm \\BLAZE OF GLORY, THAT'S HOW.\\ Small Furry Dragon 9:39 pm Why are they surprised to see an iceberg in the ocean? Whirl 9:39 pm Amen! ItsyBitsySpyers 9:39 pm *Raises his glass* Whirl 9:39 pm *raises his, as well* Windchill 9:39 pm I think you can do both. Or, *he rests a hand on his chest.* I could. FakeProwl 9:39 pm I think it's more the fact that the iceberg is in FRONT of them that's surprised them. Whirl 9:39 pm Well, have at it. ...*tilts his head; this ship' Windchill 9:39 pm I would, but I don't see it going over too well. Whirl 9:39 pm s guts are fascinating, really* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:40 pm *And Soundwave pulls out his tarp. It'll be nice and toasty in exactly the way these fleshlings won't.* Whirl 9:40 pm Why couldn't the movie have been about these guys. Small Furry Dragon 9:40 pm Fair enough. I expected they'd have seen a few more, though. But I think Earth might be warmer than where I live. The poles are smaller, at least, but the planet's smaller too. Swoop 9:40 pm Flying better than swimming. Flying, you just go UP OVER thing. FakeProwl 9:40 pm The impression I got from earlier in the movie is that they're very used to seeing them; they only become a concern when they're on a collision course. Small Furry Dragon 9:41 pm True enough, Swoop! *the dragon would toast, but the dragon did not bring food or drink for dragons* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:41 pm //Ugh, my audials.// Swoop 9:41 pm KAHA Whirl 9:41 pm *sighs* Shame. Looked like an interesting piece of machinery. FakeProwl 9:41 pm They also mentioned that the weather conditions would make it harder to see icebergs earlier, so they have— *covers audials* —have too little time to try to steer out of their way. Bevel 9:41 pm Too loud. FakeProwl 9:41 pm Hence the manic scramble when they DO see an iceberg. Swoop 9:41 pm Maybe tornado drop it there :V Tornado drop a house on road and them DRIVE THOUGH Windchill 9:41 pm Well, if they weren't going so fast, they'd have more time. Swoop 9:42 pm it pretty cool Whirl 9:42 pm Tornados are fun, though. FakeProwl 9:42 pm That as well. Small Furry Dragon 9:42 pm Some people used to try to steer icebergs, in our history. That... failed. Very much so. Windchill 9:42 pm *He knows a thing or two about high speeds and lack of maneuverability.* FakeProwl 9:42 pm *looks at Soundwave and murmurs* Why is Swoop so preoccupied with tornados? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:42 pm @Prowl: (txt): ...Dinobot? Windchill 9:42 pm This is where it gets exciting, I suppose. Swoop 9:43 pm *why isn't EVERYONE preoccupied with tornadoes???* FakeProwl 9:43 pm *blank look. he doesn't see the correlation.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:43 pm @Prowl: (txt): Interest: destruction. FakeProwl 9:43 pm Icebergs are destructive. But he's still on about tornados even after the iceberg hit. boomtank 9:43 pm Oh no Windchill 9:44 pm *Icebergs are passively destructive, that's probably why.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:44 pm @Prowl: (txt): Swoop: flier. Iceberg not obstacle, threat. Small Furry Dragon 9:44 pm *cackles* I like that logic. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:44 pm [[...He wonders if Seaspray ever had rats.]] Swoop 9:44 pm *soundwave is right AND ALSO FUCKING TWISTER IS A MASTERPIECE* FakeProwl 9:44 pm Hm. *fair enough, he supposed.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:45 pm //Aw, c'mon.// Bevel 9:45 pm ... Small Furry Dragon 9:45 pm *squints* *planting evidence. nice.* Whirl 9:45 pm Yeah. That's low. Bevel 9:45 pm He should have felt that fall into his pocket. It is really heavy. Whirl 9:46 pm But then again, it's what I expect. Windchill 9:46 pm Yup. Not really. FakeProwl 9:47 pm She doesn't know him. She's known him three days. Whirl 9:47 pm Honestly, I don't care if she believes him, as long as she gets away. Swoop 9:47 pm Soundwave Windchill 9:47 pm Exactly. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:47 pm [[She should have been telling them about the ice. Not standing by while they did this.]] Whirl 9:47 pm Obviously, she lives. Small Furry Dragon 9:47 pm *amused huff* Well, that's a thing. Whirl 9:47 pm Maybe they'll both eat it and save her the trouble. Shockwave 9:47 pm ((...So, wait, if this is all flashback, how is she telling the guys about scenes where she isn't involved?)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:47 pm [[What, Swoop?]] Swoop 9:47 pm This movie is movie where grandma get boiled? or that different movie? FakeProwl 9:47 pm ((she's psychic?)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:47 pm ((some of it's known, isn't it?)) Bevel 9:47 pm ((most of this is in logs and personal accounts yes ItsyBitsySpyers 9:48 pm ((anyway, she's an actress. she embellishes.)) Small Furry Dragon 9:48 pm ((I think it's the guys' forensic analysis stuff, and other's knowledge)) FakeProwl 9:48 pm ((i guess these scenes aren't ones that she's telling them about, they're just showing them to us.)) Whirl 9:48 pm ((ye)) Windchill 9:48 pm (( There were survivors. )) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:48 pm [[...Where a grandmother gets boiled? What?]] Shockwave 9:48 pm ((Hm, alright.)) Swoop 9:48 pm Yah Bevel 9:48 pm ((including at least one person in the room during this scene Swoop 9:48 pm Grandma jump out of boat and boiled Sludge hate it Him spook ItsyBitsySpyers 9:48 pm [[He does not know that film.]] Swoop 9:48 pm Because him giant aby Bevel 9:48 pm Eat him. Swoop 9:48 pm *baby Small Furry Dragon 9:48 pm *hisses* EAT HIM. Windchill 9:48 pm *raises eyebrows.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:48 pm //RIP HIS HEAD OFF 'N FEED IT TO HIM// Whirl 9:49 pm Yeah! *toast to that sentiment* Small Furry Dragon 9:49 pm Hear, hear! ItsyBitsySpyers 9:49 pm [[...There are newbuilds on this ship.]] boomtank 9:49 pm ...okay, I haven't been paying attention and I really don't like him ItsyBitsySpyers 9:49 pm [[In the low caste area.]] *...Oh.* Whirl 9:49 pm Yep. Windchill 9:50 pm 'Course there are. Swoop 9:50 pm what caste means? Whirl 9:50 pm I bet I can guess how well they're gonna do. Small Furry Dragon 9:50 pm Swoop, it's a ranking. High castes are the ones who tell everyone they're more important than low castes. FakeProwl 9:51 pm *leans forward. much more engaged now that the ship's sinking.* Swoop 9:51 pm Caste is rank Like commander? Windchill 9:51 pm Not really. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:51 pm [[A social ranking. Where you are placed in life.]] Windchill 9:52 pm Caste is your place in society, your purpose and your worth. It is assigned to you and you cannot leave. Swoop 9:52 pm That dumb. Beat up boss. Then you boss. Duh. FakeProwl 9:52 pm I know it's not going to happen. Whirl 9:52 pm You can definitely go down. Windchill 9:52 pm That's what we did. Whirl 9:52 pm Just never back up. FakeProwl 9:52 pm But I hope the pretentious ones keep hanging out in the ballroom while the poor ones go to the boats like they're told to. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:52 pm [[As does he.]] Windchill 9:52 pm Eh, that's mostly true. Small Furry Dragon 9:52 pm I hope the same. Windchill 9:53 pm I lied, I moved around a little bit. *A lot.* Whirl 9:53 pm We never had... I mean, the powerful were in power. There was no official system. Just an unofficial one. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:53 pm [[We did.]] Whirl 9:53 pm Cozy up to the powerful, and you're in. Do anything they don't like, and you're out. Windchill 9:54 pm Sounds gross. Whirl 9:54 pm Didn't even have to be done TO them. Swoop 9:54 pm *cocks his head at Whirl* Whirl 9:54 pm *drains his drink bitterly* Swoop 9:54 pm *doesn't even a little bit get it* Whirl 9:54 pm *that's for the best* FakeProwl 9:54 pm ... We absolutely had an official system. Based on shape. Swoop 9:55 pm Shape? Whirl 9:55 pm Well, eyah, that was... that wasn't a linear caste system, though. Not the same way these folks are talking about it. FakeProwl 9:55 pm It was fairly linear. Windchill 9:55 pm *Shakes his head.* boomtank 9:55 pm The higher castes were....abusive at the best ItsyBitsySpyers 9:55 pm *Soundwave pings his deployers for permission. The usual group give it.* FakeProwl 9:55 pm The lowest microscope was always going to be above the highest miner. Swoop 9:55 pm Fireworks :V Cool Windchill 9:55 pm Where I come from, your shape was the excuse, but it was arbitrated on what was deemed useful at the time. Whirl 9:56 pm *tilts his head* Fair. FakeProwl 9:56 pm Excepting the few who were legally permitted to move up or forced to move down. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:56 pm [[Rumble and Frenzy were construction. Buzzsaw was an artist. He was a spy. And they refused Ravage one.]] Windchill 9:56 pm So people with the same shapes might end up in very different places. Whirl 9:56 pm Yeah, see, there were plenty of folks who were exempt. Swoop 9:56 pm Bird? :> ItsyBitsySpyers 9:56 pm *Truthfully.* [[He does not know.]] Bevel 9:56 pm Why did they refuse Ravage? FakeProwl 9:56 pm The exemptions were a small minority. Whirl 9:56 pm *tilts his head at Soundwave* Swoop 9:56 pm Mystery bird :> Sneaky kehheh Windchill 9:57 pm ...Oh, I get it. FakeProwl 9:57 pm And there's a parallel to the exemptions in this film. They talked about "new money." Windchill 9:57 pm Dead artist joke. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:57 pm [[Because he happened to be created with four legs.]] Small Furry Dragon 9:57 pm *bares teeth in a snarl* Disgusting. Whirl 9:58 pm Did you ever get a chance to pay 'em back, Ravage? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:58 pm *Glances at Whirl. Yes?* *Slow blink.* Whirl 9:58 pm And--all right, all right. You'd know better than I would, Prowl. Made your point. i'll take that as a yes. Shockwave 9:59 pm ((Whoop, bed time, goodnight all.)) Whirl 9:59 pm ((night!)) Windchill 9:59 pm (( night! )) Small Furry Dragon 9:59 pm ((goodnight shockwave!)) Bevel 9:59 pm ((night boomtank 9:59 pm ((g'night FakeProwl 9:59 pm *slight nod* It was more rigid in Petrex than most places. Whirl 9:59 pm And you had the dubious honor of having them breathe down your damn neck. It's a wonder you made it this far sane. Windchill 10:00 pm *Snorts.* Small Furry Dragon 10:00 pm Bite your wrists, Jack. Blood helps. FakeProwl 10:00 pm *flat look* Would you believe it KEPT me sane. Whirl 10:00 pm *SNORTS* Whatever it takes, I guess. FakeProwl 10:00 pm Didn't think so. Whirl 10:01 pm Y'know. She's an idiot, but she's a brave idiot, at least. Windchill 10:01 pm They tend to go hand in hand. FakeProwl 10:01 pm She was going to kill herself three days ago. What does she have to lose? Swoop 10:01 pm ((JASON!!!)) ItsyBitsySpyers 10:01 pm =I was named nothing of worth remaining.= He bares his fangs. =It was true, when I found them.= Whirl 10:01 pm ...yeah, you're right. I get that. Heh! Bevel 10:02 pm Cybertron sucked. FakeProwl 10:02 pm Could've been worse. Could've been led by Starscream. Windchill 10:02 pm It got worse. Or, did where I'm from. FakeProwl 10:02 pm It did everywhere, I think. Whirl 10:02 pm *heaves a sigh and stares into his empty glass* Why'd you have to bust that out when I'm out of booze, Prowl? Bevel 10:02 pm Maybe your Starscream. *likes her Starscream just fine thank you* Whirl 10:03 pm *looks to Ravage* Y'know, I think I get why you ate them. It must be pretty satisfying to just EAT someone who treated you like that. But maybe... I've been spending to much time with Blurr. Windchill 10:03 pm *He's not going to say anything to that.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:03 pm =Mm.= No denying that. He crosses his paws. =And I was hungry.= FakeProwl 10:03 pm You should have drank slower. Windchill 10:04 pm *Points* Small Furry Dragon 10:04 pm *the dragon smiles at Ravage's comment* Windchill 10:04 pm Don't tell Whirl what to do. FakeProwl 10:04 pm Finally! ItsyBitsySpyers 10:04 pm [[About time.]] FakeProwl 10:04 pm It's about time she punches somebody dragging her around. Whirl 10:04 pm I need a lot of liquor. Amen to that! Swoop 10:04 pm Her cut off him hand :> Small Furry Dragon 10:04 pm That could happen, Swoop. Whirl 10:05 pm I--y'know, I bet. She won't. Swoop. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:05 pm =Come, come. I will serve more.= *Hops back off the bar and fixes another.* Swoop 10:05 pm Why won't???? FakeProwl 10:05 pm He'll bleed to death if she does. ... Not a great loss, I think. Swoop 10:05 pm Nuh huh Small Furry Dragon 10:05 pm Better than drowning. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:05 pm *Least he can do for someone who didn't judge him for what he did when he tracked his namers down.* FakeProwl 10:05 pm Is it? Whirl 10:05 pm It's really not. Swoop 10:05 pm Cauterize Whirl 10:05 pm *hops up and trots over to the bar* FakeProwl 10:05 pm She has no heat source to cauterize him with. Windchill 10:05 pm They don't have fire, Swoop. Swoop 10:05 pm There lots of wood For fires Small Furry Dragon 10:06 pm Well, for my kind? Yes. Some of the Cousins lack fur, but when you have fur and you sink, you keep going down. Windchill 10:06 pm No ignition. Plus it's wet. Small Furry Dragon 10:06 pm That was not enough practice. Bevel 10:06 pm *laughs* Whirl 10:06 pm *he's going to very pointedly turn his back to the screen he is not watching this, no thank you* boomtank 10:06 pm Oh.... Whirl 10:06 pm *Ravage you saved his goddamn life tonight* boomtank 10:06 pm wow She got it Small Furry Dragon 10:07 pm Well, I wouldn't have gambled on that. Windchill 10:07 pm She could have hit the pipe and broken it instead. Maybe. Swoop 10:07 pm Her suck at axe Her need different weapon Or her get beat up Windchill 10:07 pm Not sure what it's made of and I'm not looking it up right now.

Amazing show of denial. Bevel 10:09 pm ...these humans are stupid. Small Furry Dragon 10:09 pm Is that news? Bevel 10:09 pm No. boomtank 10:09 pm ............. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:09 pm *Rubs his crest. How did any of this come to pass. Who vetted these crew members.* FakeProwl 10:09 pm This movie's much better now that the ship's sinking. Windchill 10:09 pm *High caste people, that's who* boomtank 10:10 pm I....I am not surprised Windchill 10:10 pm Don't need a gun for luck. But it helps. Bevel 10:11 pm *covers her face with her hands* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:11 pm [[It is interesting to watch how people behave in situations like these. But this should never have been necessary.]] FakeProwl 10:11 pm No, it shouldn't. Whirl 10:11 pm *looks over his shoulder* Nice. Swoop 10:11 pm *cheers for breaking things* FakeProwl 10:11 pm But watching it go down is far better than watching three different people telling the girl what to do. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:12 pm [[And these humans blocking the escape. They deserve to be locked behind one.]] Small Furry Dragon 10:12 pm When the Goddess ate the Eaten One, they say that the largest of the Cousins threw their bodies at his walls to break them down. It's fun to see how mythos transfers through universes. boomtank 10:12 pm -back to reading. Ignoring the movie now- ItsyBitsySpyers 10:12 pm [[He will not argue that. It is much better now.]] \\YOU GOT SOME COOL MYTHS FOR FLESHIES.\\ Whirl 10:13 pm Yeah. You dragons are all right. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:13 pm [[...And he admires these musicians.]] Small Furry Dragon 10:13 pm I suppose we do. I was raised on it, it seems so normal to me. Whirl 10:13 pm Oh, damn, I've still got to fight that one guy. I know a dragon who's mechanical. We've gotta beat each other up. Small Furry Dragon 10:13 pm Then again, I keep being surprised to see stars. Windchill 10:13 pm (( Hi Winston. )) Whirl 10:14 pm ((IKR?)) Windchill 10:14 pm (( Also the hunter/dad from Jumanji. Amazing. )) *Nods* Dragons are for fighting. Whirl 10:15 pm Oh boy. He might bite it after all. Small Furry Dragon 10:15 pm Not me! I bake. Some of my kind sing, or we so, or spin wool. The other Cousins are better fighters. More claws. Armor-like scales. Windchill 10:16 pm That's cool. *Like, it's cool but it doesn't fit his Skyrim narrative.* *Which is honestly the extent of his dragon knowledge.* Small Furry Dragon 10:17 pm *the dragon isn't exactly skyrim either. fuzzy, not prone to shouting, more insectivore than carnivore* FakeProwl 10:18 pm *is far more invested in the father who's trying to comfort his daughter than in the main characters* Windchill 10:18 pm *Same.* Whirl 10:19 pm *takes his drink back to his table* oh, sod off, movie. Nobody cares. Bevel 10:19 pm *uncovers her face at the shouting* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:19 pm *Facepalms.* Bevel 10:19 pm Noooo boomtank 10:19 pm -doesn't look up and STILL feels the urge to facepalm- Small Furry Dragon 10:20 pm *doesn't have palms and still facepalms. facepaws* boomtank 10:20 pm -the main characters are so stupid- Windchill 10:20 pm *Contorts his face a little.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:20 pm [[Really.]] [[-Really.-]] Bevel 10:20 pm Go back to the other passengers please. FakeProwl 10:20 pm ... I'm actually hoping he hits. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:20 pm [[So is he.]] FakeProwl 10:21 pm Not that I can stand him. But I'd really like them dead. Small Furry Dragon 10:21 pm Why are they going back to the water? boomtank 10:21 pm Save one of them from their stupidity ItsyBitsySpyers 10:21 pm [[But this is hardly the time.]] Windchill 10:21 pm It'd be cooler if they had guns too. FakeProwl 10:21 pm Maybe he'll follow them into the water and freeze to death too. Whirl 10:21 pm Oh, he's about to eat it! ...damn. Wait...... Windchill 10:21 pm Eh. Seen this film before. FakeProwl 10:21 pm ... Is this where the ship splits? Small Furry Dragon 10:21 pm *shivers* That's a terrible sound. Whirl 10:22 pm It SPLITS? Bevel 10:22 pm Yeah. FakeProwl 10:22 pm Oh. You missed the first ten minutes. Bevel 10:22 pm ...he thought about leaving the newbuild. FakeProwl 10:22 pm Yes, they had a little CGI presentation about how the ship's going to sink. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:22 pm *Who left without their creation?* Whirl 10:22 pm Oh. Neat. Windchill 10:22 pm *Shakes his head.* What were they doing down there? ItsyBitsySpyers 10:22 pm *Oh, good. Only separated. ... Not that it will help.* Bevel 10:23 pm No! boomtank 10:23 pm AH! Small Furry Dragon 10:23 pm Oh. Whirl 10:23 pm Well. It's not like they would've been able to save the kid anyway. No more boats. boomtank 10:23 pm The...the child Whirl 10:23 pm Might as well go quick. Windchill 10:23 pm *Time for his best stone cold expression.* FakeProwl 10:23 pm The front of the ship fills with water first, so that end sinks first. When the rear lifts into the air, the strain breaks it in half. boomtank 10:23 pm Oh... Small Furry Dragon 10:23 pm *accidentally clinging to Zori without asking. the dragon's fur is all puffed out* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:24 pm *Zori gently paps her with claws and offers her a cookie.* FakeProwl 10:24 pm ... He could have given them the keys. Small Furry Dragon 10:25 pm Th-thank you... But I made those for you... *still clinging* *floods of water = bad* Windchill 10:25 pm People act stupid when they're scared. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:25 pm ((i'm sorry if anyone else doesn't do well with flashing, i didn't remember that it got like this)) boomtank 10:25 pm Oh...Primus this isn't good Windchill 10:25 pm (( I forgot too and I saw this recently. )) Bevel 10:25 pm ((it'll stop in a moment ItsyBitsySpyers 10:26 pm [[So much for that boat.]] [[Did he just--]] boomtank 10:27 pm He did FakeProwl 10:27 pm ... You know, if the movie had started with... I don't know, maybe the sex scene, solely to establish that the two characters are attracted to each other. And skipped EVERYTHING before that—the movie would have been much better. Windchill 10:27 pm Much shorter. Whirl 10:27 pm Yep. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:27 pm *...Oh. He's going to--* Small Furry Dragon 10:27 pm Oh no. Bevel 10:27 pm *jumps* boomtank 10:28 pm ................. Windchill 10:28 pm *No reaction.* Small Furry Dragon 10:28 pm *snarls* That's awful. Bevel 10:28 pm He only saved her to save himself. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:28 pm [[At least he saved her.]] FakeProwl 10:29 pm On the bright side, the child's just been adopted into the upper class. Small Furry Dragon 10:29 pm For now. FakeProwl 10:29 pm Awful controlling father, though. boomtank 10:29 pm He's going to drop her the moment he's safe Windchill 10:30 pm So many babies. Small Furry Dragon 10:30 pm Is there something about not laying eggs that make people terrible parents? ItsyBitsySpyers 10:30 pm [[Shock, he assumes.]] [[The captain.]] Small Furry Dragon 10:30 pm Or, at least, not care for their young. Windchill 10:30 pm No. FakeProwl 10:30 pm Appears to be. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:30 pm [[He does not know about the question.]] Windchill 10:30 pm Pretty sure. I don't lay eggs. Whirl 10:30 pm *shrugs* Windchill 10:30 pm I take offense to that. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:30 pm *Admires this musician. Still playing alone.* Whirl 10:30 pm Maybe some of them just don't have the instinct. We don't. Not in my dimension, anyway. FakeProwl 10:31 pm At least the musicians are acting like decent, civilized people. Bevel 10:31 pm They are still playing. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:31 pm *Tiny thread of warmth in his broke-aft spark.* Whirl 10:31 pm ... *a toast to them, at least* Bevel 10:31 pm *would cry if she were physically capable of doing so* Whirl 10:31 pm *he can respect artists dying doing what they loved* Small Furry Dragon 10:31 pm *bows head. the dragon can respect this, too* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:32 pm ((this scene gets me so bad)) boomtank 10:32 pm ((noooo FakeProwl 10:32 pm ... In moments of crisis, people do not rise to the occasion. They fall back to their level of training. If the whole ship had been trained the way those musicians were, many more lives could have been saved. Bevel 10:32 pm *whines* The newbuilds. Small Furry Dragon 10:32 pm *gently pats Bevel with a paw* Windchill 10:32 pm *He'd argue with Prowl, but he's too busy not emoting.* boomtank 10:33 pm -once again, buries face in datapad- Windchill 10:33 pm (( Captions always crack me up holy hell. )) FakeProwl 10:33 pm ... Did that man JUST figure out the boat is sinking? ItsyBitsySpyers 10:34 pm [[There is a difference between knowing something and seeing it before you.]] FakeProwl 10:34 pm Pfff. Windchill 10:34 pm Dead. Small Furry Dragon 10:34 pm *sorry Zori, you get the cling again* Swoop 10:34 pm DEAD ItsyBitsySpyers 10:34 pm *Zori hums for the dragon. For once, it is nice to be big. He can protect them.* FakeProwl 10:34 pm Oh, is this where it breaks? Windchill 10:35 pm Close to it, I think. Small Furry Dragon 10:35 pm ((d'awww Zori you are the precious scorpion childe)) FakeProwl 10:35 pm *oh, damn. the main characters are back.* boomtank 10:35 pm -not looking up, not looking up SO not looking up- Windchill 10:35 pm I barely remember anything. 'Sides the lyrics to that damned song. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:35 pm [[...Wait.]] [[If the ship is going to go straight up, then all of these people are...]] Tilts head. [[Well then.]] Whirl 10:36 pm Yep.

Small Furry Dragon 10:43 pm The splash was impressive enough for me. I drown in water. Whirl 10:43 pm You're just inflexible. Windchill 10:44 pm *Gasps in offense.* That's true. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:44 pm //My everythin' hurts lookin' at this.// FakeProwl 10:44 pm *he's trying not to think about how much of this could have been prevented by an adequately trained crew.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:44 pm *That's ALL he keeps thinking about.* Whirl 10:44 pm Getcha a drink, Rumble. Windchill 10:44 pm I'm more flexible than I was, though. Swoop 10:44 pm glub glub glub KAHAHA boomtank 10:45 pm Wouldn't the force of the water going down with the ship suck things down with it? Small Furry Dragon 10:45 pm *winces* Bevel 10:45 pm *all she can think about is if they'd have just had enough lifeboats and filled them right* Let go. FakeProwl 10:45 pm ... They could have both saved themselves a lot of trouble if they'd jumped three days ago. Windchill 10:45 pm *He's convinced that the whole thing amounts to hubris.* FakeProwl 10:45 pm I mean. They've ended up in the same place. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:45 pm [[Well. She wouldn't be there to tell them the story.]] Small Furry Dragon 10:46 pm That is fair, but the docents would have scrubbed my mouth for saying such a thing. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:46 pm [[But everyone else would.]] FakeProwl 10:46 pm No great loss. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:46 pm *Fair.* Swoop 10:46 pm that lots of scream ItsyBitsySpyers 10:46 pm *Pulls his tarp tight. You know what? Swoop's right. It's nice to be a flier. No icebergs.

Small Furry Dragon 10:53 pm They might be able to make it work, if they thought. But thinking is hard when you're freezing and drowning.

Small Furry Dragon 11:11 pm They're big, they're cold, and you cannot use them for sea travel. Swoop 11:11 pm Soundwave, you show cow get thrown around PCHOOO tornado!! Small Furry Dragon 11:11 pm Also once someone found a giant insect in one. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:11 pm [[No. He is not showing tornadoes.]] Small Furry Dragon 11:11 pm That was fun. I think they actually tried to eat it. Swoop 11:11 pm this guy sound like A TOOL FakeProwl 11:12 pm ... Can we watch the CGI of the Titanic sinking next. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:12 pm [[He will look for something on that.]] FakeProwl 11:12 pm It's on the right. Second video. boomtank 11:12 pm -sighs- ItsyBitsySpyers 11:12 pm [[...So it is. Thank you.]] FakeProwl 11:12 pm *nod* Swoop 11:13 pm Me Swoop find Bird. Us go see tornado. Way way cooler than boring talky video. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:13 pm [[Very well. Try not to get caught in it.]] FakeProwl 11:13 pm Then leave. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:13 pm [[...There was more beneath the water?]] Swoop 11:13 pm *WILL ABSOLUTELY GET CAUGHT IN IT, PCHOOOOOOO, swoop out* FakeProwl 11:13 pm ... "It's BELIEVED that the iceberg that sank the Titanic"? They never caught the culprit? ItsyBitsySpyers 11:14 pm *Looks at Prowl* Whirl 11:14 pm The culprit was the dumbass crew. FakeProwl 11:14 pm You know what I mean. Whirl 11:14 pm Iceberg was just... iceberging around. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:14 pm [[...Where would they get stasis cuffs that BIG?]] Whirl 11:14 pm Doing what iceberg's do. Wasn't its fault. Bevel 11:14 pm *laughs* FakeProwl 11:14 pm Oh, shut— I'm a cop, I called it a culprit, get over it. Small Furry Dragon 11:15 pm I would pay to see someone arrest an iceberg. Whirl 11:15 pm SOMEone's prickly tonight. You need a drink. FakeProwl 11:15 pm The— murder weapon, then. ... Dammit. *that's not better* Small Furry Dragon 11:15 pm Well, pay in baked goods, but that's what I have. Whirl 11:15 pm The murder weapon was the controls for the ship. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:15 pm *Sits up slightly. He was only going along with what he thought was a tiny joke.* FakeProwl 11:15 pm The guilty— mmph. Whirl 11:15 pm The iceberg was merely landscape. FakeProwl 11:16 pm *just. jams a hand over his mouth and angrily chinhands.* Whirl 11:16 pm *takes a nice long drink* Windchill 11:17 pm "That looks good," he says. Small Furry Dragon 11:17 pm He's an artist, explaining his art. It just so happens that his art is reconstructing disasters. Windchill 11:18 pm I know what he means. Still poor choice of words. Small Furry Dragon 11:18 pm Fair enough. Whirl 11:18 pm Also--couldn't help but notice your tense, there. You decided to go on and do it, Prowl? *looks over* Bevel 11:18 pm 😞 FakeProwl 11:18 pm ... Do what? *his first thought is "jump off the boat?"* Whirl 11:19 pm You know. FakeProwl 11:19 pm What? Whirl 11:19 pm ...@P: The cop thing. @P: That you asked me about forever ago. FakeProwl 11:19 pm @W «... I turned down the job offer. Immediately after we spoke.» Whirl 11:20 pm @P: All right then. FakeProwl 11:20 pm @W «What's it matter?» Bevel 11:20 pm Play something happy. Windchill 11:20 pm Like. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:20 pm [[Hmm.]] Windchill 11:20 pm Penguins Whirl 11:20 pm @P: Just curious. You said you ARE a cop. Windchill 11:20 pm or Kittens. Whirl 11:20 pm @P: Thought it meant something. Windchill 11:20 pm Not the Madagascar ones. *Points* Eggs hatching. FakeProwl 11:20 pm @W «Well, I also said the iceberg is a culprit. Clearly I misspoke.» Whirl 11:21 pm How about... sea life. Underneath the ice. Maybe barnacles. Windchill 11:21 pm Hmm, barnacles are cool. Small Furry Dragon 11:21 pm Sea life has hard shells, lots of jaws, and will eat you. Whirl 11:21 pm *aloud, he snickers* @P: That IS true., Windchill 11:21 pm All of the other animals are like. Small Furry Dragon 11:21 pm That's the important part. Windchill 11:21 pm Vicious predators. Whirl 11:21 pm That's what I like about it! I've got a pet barnacle that dismembered someone, once. Windchill 11:21 pm Orca whales...which are porpoises, leopard seals...Penguins. Small Furry Dragon 11:21 pm ...You do what makes you happy. Whirl 11:22 pm ...and speaking of which--damn, good thing you reminded me. *looks over to the twins* Oi! You two. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:22 pm //Huh? What?// Whirl 11:22 pm I might need you to watch Killer again soon. Y'good? ItsyBitsySpyers 11:22 pm //It ain't knocked up again, is it?// Whirl 11:22 pm Not that I know of. Windchill 11:22 pm *Suspicious eyeballing Whirl's way, but he'll say nothing.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:23 pm //Cause I ain't handlin' barnapocalypse 2.0.// Whirl 11:23 pm Well, you're welcome to come and ask Killer, if you want. But I've got no idea what makes it get... frisky.

Whirl 11:25 pm *begins to mimic that penguin noise* Windchill 11:25 pm Sounds about right. Babies eat a lot. An outrageous amount, in fact. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:25 pm *Soundwave is still mostly looking at Prowl, trying to figure out how to help. Or if he should. ... Well, he can say one thing, at least. And hope it doesn't go wrong.* Windchill 11:25 pm Damn. Probably best that Swoop wasn't here for that display. Eheheh. Whirl 11:26 pm How far do you have to fly to feed the grub? Windchill 11:26 pm Depends. boomtank 11:27 pm -and he's standing up to leave- Thanks for the movie, I gotta go now. G'night ItsyBitsySpyers 11:27 pm [[Goodnight.]] Whirl 11:27 pm Seeya, Windchill 11:27 pm But I'll have to expand my range eventually. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:27 pm @Prowl: (txt): Soundwave liked descriptions. Not untrue. Windchill 11:27 pm It helps that I know where all of the old 'con mines are. boomtank 11:27 pm ((thanks for the stream, and g'night! Whirl 11:27 pm Hmm. Hey, Windchill? Windchill 11:27 pm Eh? Whirl 11:27 pm *makes a penguin noise right at him* Windchill 11:28 pm *Makes a gross dolphin noise right back.* FakeProwl 11:28 pm ((and now whirl and windchill are making the noises that mated birds use to locate each other)) Whirl 11:28 pm *recoils* Don't you spit on me you disgusting creature.

You summoned it.* Whirl 11:28 pm ((the legend LIVES ON)) Windchill 11:28 pm I am disgusting. The...Most Disgusting, even. Whirl 11:29 pm Keep THAT thing away from me, too. *he's pulling his legs back* Nah, not the most. FakeProwl 11:29 pm *acknowledging ping. prowl's indifferent to the comment.* Windchill 11:29 pm *Sucks it back into his head like a noodle.* Whirl 11:29 pm So. ...we're watching videos about animals. Windchill 11:29 pm Not the worst? I'll have to try harder. Whirl 11:29 pm What about frogs? Windchill 11:29 pm *Whispers.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:29 pm *...All right. He'll just. Let Prowl be. For now.* Windchill 11:29 pm Or True Facts about the Echidna. Or the uh. Bevel 11:29 pm ... Whirl 11:29 pm ... Windchill 11:30 pm Sea cucumber. Good stuff. Whirl 11:30 pm Damn. I'm glad we don't have to do this. Windchill 11:30 pm ...I suppose I'm lucky Riot hasn't absorbed me yet. Bevel 11:30 pm *impressed with this anglerfish's shifting abilities* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:30 pm *Wiggles a feeler to try to amuse himself.* Windchill 11:30 pm It sounds like something he might do. Whirl 11:30 pm Me too, honestly. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:30 pm *Doesn't quite manage.* Whirl 11:31 pm Watch out, Soundwave. You might catch something. Windchill 11:31 pm This one is good too. *He's seen it.* FakeProwl 11:31 pm *... stretches to reach under his back kibble.* Windchill 11:31 pm FROG! *points* We gotta. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:31 pm *Curious look* Windchill 11:31 pm ...After the owls. FakeProwl 11:31 pm *give him a moment to rummage.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:31 pm [[We will.]] Whirl 11:31 pm *points* That's my whole situation. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:31 pm *Rumble tries* Windchill 11:31 pm *Does it.* *Bobs his head.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:32 pm //HEY!// FakeProwl 11:32 pm *got it* Windchill 11:32 pm Like me.

Windchill 11:33 pm *Well, that reminds him of SOMEBODY.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:33 pm *...Looks at the sham-wow. Looks at Prowl. Then back to the sham-wow. ............. T...akes?* Windchill 11:33 pm *Somebody sitting next to him, in fact.* FakeProwl 11:33 pm *there, you anglerfish. Now you've got your bait.* Whirl 11:33 pm *excuse you he cannot eat anything. He can only drink* *he can, regrettably, vomit* ((he's gonna catch a Pipes)0 Huh. I... ItsyBitsySpyers 11:34 pm *Wiggles it around for a second, trying to understand what he's supposed to do with this. Wiggle. Wiggle. What is--? Wiggle. OH.* Whirl 11:34 pm They use sonar? Windchill 11:34 pm *The difference in appearance is minimal, sadly.* Yeah, kinda. Whirl 11:34 pm *stares. Since when did he and owls have so much in common* Whirl 11:35 pm ((I LOVE THAT ONE)) ItsyBitsySpyers 11:35 pm *Maybe Prowl isn't quite that mad at him after all?* Windchill 11:35 pm Frog... Whirl 11:35 pm *perks up* Look at 'em. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:35 pm *...Wiggles the shamwow at Prowl.* Whirl 11:35 pm PRAISE. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:35 pm //Praise!// Windchill 11:36 pm Sexy winking.

ItsyBitsySpyers 11:37 pm *Ravage abruptly laughs himself off the bar and thunks* Windchill 11:37 pm *Leans over and whispers.* I might be a frog. Whirl 11:38 pm Well. You'd better tell Riot. Windchill 11:38 pm He knows. Whirl 11:38 pm ((oh hey NEDDLES)) ((IF ANYONE HAS A PHOBIA OF HOLES)) (9THERE IS A SURINAM TOAD IN THIS)) ItsyBitsySpyers 11:38 pm ((OH GOD okay i won't look)) FakeProwl 11:38 pm ((oh right, the nasty frog)) ((yeah don't look)) Windchill 11:38 pm (( Ahaha here we go.)) (( I AM STRONG. )) Whirl 11:39 pm ((it's done!)) ItsyBitsySpyers 11:39 pm ((i accidentally looked and my skin is crawling)) Whirl 11:39 pm Glad that we don't have to do THAT, either. (9OH NO NEDDLES IM SORRY)) ((I didn't think about it till we were partway through)) FakeProwl 11:39 pm ((i don't have a phobia of holes but THAT FROG almost makes me have one)) Windchill 11:39 pm I heard in some universes...it's similar. (( I am only bothered by holes in skin. Like that. )) FakeProwl 11:40 pm *oh hey there's a two hour and forty minute video of the titanic sinking in real time* Windchill 11:40 pm (( But I looked anyway because this is me we're talking about it. )) Whirl 11:40 pm ((i fine with that stuff)) ItsyBitsySpyers 11:40 pm *Soundwave's feeler catches the hand batting at it and coils around the wrist. This is his now. ... He'll bite later. And not fuse.* *combined apology and affection ping. thank you.* Bevel 11:40 pm *loves them* FakeProwl 11:41 pm *all right. successfully played the part of the prey.* Whirl 11:41 pm These guys are pretty cool, too. Windchill 11:41 pm Fart ink. I can only aspire to such. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:41 pm [[They are smarter than many vertebrates as well.]] FakeProwl 11:41 pm *... affection ping* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:41 pm [[..."Head hole"?]] FakeProwl 11:41 pm ... There was a suggested video for a real-time collapse of the Titanic. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:42 pm [[There was?]] FakeProwl 11:42 pm Yes. On the last video, it was a suggestion on the side. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:42 pm [[Allow him to do two more and then he will look at it.]] Windchill 11:42 pm Hmmm. Whirl 11:42 pm Those are pretty cool. FakeProwl 11:42 pm *nods* Windchill 11:42 pm Mantis shrimp! The punching shrimp. Whirl 11:42 pm *looks down at his claws and extrudes his deedly-boppers. Horrible writhing things.

Whirl 11:44 pm *snrk* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:44 pm *He's suddenly glad his feeler was busy being an anglerfish and not an octopus arm.* Windchill 11:44 pm Looks like a fight. Egg. Whirl 11:45 pm Which is how fragging SHOULD look. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:45 pm [[...They're so tiny.]] Bevel 11:45 pm Itty bitty Windchill 11:46 pm I like the colours. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:46 pm //It looks kinda angry.// Whirl 11:47 pm It looks neat. Windchill 11:48 pm *Claps eagerly.* The fastest punch...

Oh man. *He's had to endure many a dung beetle joke.* Whirl 11:52 pm I think I'd admire that kinda chutzpah, myself. FakeProwl 11:53 pm Search "real time titanic." It'll be the first result.

ItsyBitsySpyers 11:57 pm //Seeya!// Windchill 11:57 pm *Waves.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:57 pm *Curiously watches the chinhandsing. Prowl is oddly interested in this story. Is it the forensics thing? It's the forensics thing, isn't it?* Bevel 11:58 pm *interested in the broke ass mechanics that completely fucked this ship over, why would the water tight bulkheads only go partway up the ship?* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:59 pm *Because humans have a lot to learn about how to make things that aren't constructed out of meat?* Yesterday Bevel 11:59 pm *apparently but it was a flaw they knew about, surely that means they could have built a better way* FakeProwl 12:00 am *they're actually better at making things out of metal than they are at making things out of meat* Bevel 12:00 am *idk sentient life in nine months is pretty impressive* FakeProwl 12:00 am *well they don't TRY to make it. it's an automated process. they're incapable of DELIBERATELY constructing a new sentient life.* *giving humans credit for that would be like giving cybertronians credit for a new hot spot firing. ... or whatever goes on in bevel's universe.* Bevel 12:01 am *in most universes anyway. point made in this imaginary conversation* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:01 am *Bevel is a special case.

Do you think the annoying narration is still going? ItsyBitsySpyers 12:03 am *Good. That means neither of them will notice him pulling the shamwow out of his feeler and inspecting it.

And curl up against his arm.* ((wb)) FakeProwl 12:37 am *Heard a sound, glances over at the— Is Soundwave using Prowl's sham-wow* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:38 am *...................Maybe. He might be quietly scrubbing at his leg with it.* FakeProwl 12:38 am *... stares.* *... all righty then. gonna. look back at the video.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:39 am *Feel free.* FakeProwl 12:40 am *there goes another row of lights.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:40 am [[The -first-?]] FakeProwl 12:40 am ... They made the decision to evacuate the ship—what—twenty minutes ago? ItsyBitsySpyers 12:41 am *Particularly rough swipe with the cloth.* [[It's been most of an hour.]] FakeProwl 12:41 am Why did they only send a distress call now? ItsyBitsySpyers 12:41 am [[Because they're idiots.]] [{Or were.]] [[The humans still would not have survived in the sea, but at least the rescue ship would have arrived quicker.]] FakeProwl 12:42 am That's an unacceptable answer. It's a dismissive answer that allows the real causes—preventable causes—to be ignored. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:43 am [[They were clearly untrained, unprepared, and uncontrolled.]] FakeProwl 12:43 am "It happened because they're idiots" is no more useful than "it happened because of an act of gods." Acts of god can no more be prevented than idiocy. Chalking the situation up to idiocy is as good as saying that nothing could have been done. WHICH idiocy, specifically, made them take the better part of an hour to send out a call—even twenty minutes after they chose to evacuate? Were they understaffed and couldn't spare someone to man the radio? Did they need to get their radio operator out of bed? Did they disagree on which distress signal to send out? Specific things—preventable things—things that can be addressed. Things that can be changed so that the same idiocy doesn't happen in the future. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:45 am [[He expects hubris played a role.]] [[And a desire not to upset the precious, fragile little high caste humans.]] FakeProwl 12:46 am Hubris doesn't explain why it took another twenty minutes after they got over their hubris and admitted they had to abandon ship. They were willing to disturb their fragile little high caste humans from their beds twenty minutes before they called for help, and a call for help needn't be heard by the high caste humans. If THAT were their motive, the call for help would have come twenty minutes before they worked up the nerve to wake their passengers. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:48 am [[He doesn't know why. Perhaps nobody knows why. If the movie is to be believed, much of the crew went down with it.]] [[The narration isn't telling us.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 12:49 am *Look at the gap. There could have been boats in that gap.* FakeProwl 12:49 am ... Things could have been different. Things could have been done differently. They could have been trained differently. They could have been trained better. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:50 am *The hesitation and the repetition catch his attention. He stops scrubbing at his leg and stares at Prowl.* FakeProwl 12:50 am Even once it was too late to load up the ship with more lifeboats and too late to avoid a collision—they could have reacted differently. They only had enough boats to save half the passengers, but half the passengers COULD have been saved. Roughly. Barring unavoidable accidents, broken boats, an inability to lower them properly due to the ship's listing... FakeProwl 12:53 am If someone clever enough was on board they could have started tearing up the tables and benches to make rafts. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:53 am [[...They should have had someone like you.]] *Scrub scrub.* FakeProwl 12:54 am ... I— I would have... *falls silent* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:55 am [[Protected them?]] FakeProwl 12:56 am ... I would have been the one locking poor passengers behind gates to prevent riots around the lifeboats. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:56 am *Oh.* FakeProwl 12:58 am ... When there's only enough room for half the passengers to survive, the other half need to be prevented from fighting for a place on boats that can't fit them. Fighting reduces survivors. It would be the only... *falls silent again.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:58 am *And he said he would see the people locking them behind doors locked up themselves.* *Way to go, self.* [[It is not the only way.]] FakeProwl 1:01 am *doors were opened that were never used. murmurs,* So disorganized. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:02 am [[They waited far too long. For everything. Passengers were noticing the water before they were told. They were not brought up until there was barely time left to board. People panic when there is no time.]] FakeProwl 1:02 am People panic when the boats are full and there's no room left for them, too. People panic when ships are sinking. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:04 am [[Then that's the real problem. The boats.]] FakeProwl 1:05 am In the proposed scenario it's too late to do anything about the boats. The number is the number and there should have been enough for everyone, but there aren't. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:05 am [[There would be if someone attentive enough insisted on having them and not catering to delicate visual sensibilities.]] FakeProwl 1:06 am And when there aren't enough boats for everyone, someone has to choose who's to die. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:06 am [[And did not bow before policymakers who do not care about those lower than themselves.]] FakeProwl 1:06 am *nods at the notice that just came on the screen* Lightoller chose men. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:09 am [[Organics often choose that. The newbuilds will grow to be the new adults.]] FakeProwl 1:09 am Who they chose isn't important. What's important is a choice had to be made. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:10 am [[Who they choose -is- important.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 1:12 am [[You do not think it would be possible to allow only some of the rich and some of the poor? There was no other place they could have gathered the rich to allow the crew to separate them into groups? Only this fancy dining hall that, again, would not offend them?]] [[They could not have lied and said women and children to the left side boats, men to the right, and then locked the men away?]] FakeProwl 1:13 am No, they couldn't have. The couples and families would have objected and insisted that they stay together. They would have furiously protested their separation. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:13 am [[Then simply separate the group as a whole.]] [[Half here, half there.]] FakeProwl 1:14 am There was a notice on the screen earlier about a couple that refused to part, so they both stayed on the ship and put their maid on the lifeboat instead. That would have happened en masse. They would have followed their mates to the wrong sides of the ship. That's what locking up half of them does. Half here, half there. Which half doesn't matter—whichever half is EASIEST to lock up is the half that SHOULD be locked up, because time was short and elaborate gimmicks waste precious minutes. Getting the passengers together en masse and splitting them into two would have taken half an hour. If the ship's already segregated in half, it takes five minutes to lock one half away and ensure there won't be hundreds of doomed lives milling on the top deck when they find out there aren't enough boats. Which half is saved doesn't matter. Just that it's the EASIEST half. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:16 am [[That condemns the poor for circumstances beyond their control, often to the point of their birth. They are placed in a position where they are beneath everyone, and then when lives are at stake, they are confirmed as worthless.]] [[And the rich were no better. They were corrupt. Selling their creations, abusing each other.]] FakeProwl 1:17 am And that's damn tragic and should never have to happen. But I would rather save a thousand rich lives than five hundred mixed lives. Not because the rich deserve it any more than the poor, but because there's five hundred more survivors. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:18 am [[Then you should be the person in charge of designing the ship so that -nobody- needs to perish.]] FakeProwl 1:18 am That's not the POINT! We're talking about what happens when it's ALREADY too late! I'm not the person who designs ships, I'm the person who has to choose who dies! I'm ALWAYS the person who has to choose who dies! ItsyBitsySpyers 1:19 am [[And his point is that you do not have to be.]] [[At least not only when it is too late.]] FakeProwl 1:20 am *face screws up. forcibly smooths it. looks away.* ... We're never going to have a world so perfect that there won't have to be choices between who lives and who dies. It's an impossibility. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:23 am [[Of course it is. We are fallible creatures. There are probably entire universes dying every day, and he cannot fulfill his oath and help save them all. But we can try to minimize the need.]] FakeProwl 1:24 am I can't save all the idiots from themselves. I spent four million years trying. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:25 am [[So did he. Not quite to your extent. Our faction beliefs were too different. But near enough.]] FakeProwl 1:25 am How'd that work out for you. ... I'm sorry. That was uncalled for. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:31 am [[It was.]] [[And it didn't. Our population is smaller than yours and mostly comprised of Vehicons and Insecticons, he lost everyone but Laserbeak, and the Decepticons tore themselves apart.]] [[Lately, he has been trying something new. Abandoning all the weak results in losses he cannot accept. Nor will he continue catering only to those who are already powerful.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 1:34 am [[And he is certain he will fail more often than not. But he is tired of doing the same thing.]] FakeProwl 1:35 am *... if that's a moral Soundwave considers relevant to the conversation, then he's missed Prowl's point completely.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:35 am [[He understands the desire for maximum efficiency.]] FakeProwl 1:36 am *prowl doesn't think it's worth correcting. doesn't matter.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:41 am *He pauses. His words aren't working. He knows what Prowl's trying to get at. He knows what he's trying to get at. He can't quite make them meet in the middle. Trying anyway.* FakeProwl 1:45 am *returns to watching the video* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:57 am [[But perfection is not possible for imperfect creatures. Mechs will die or be hurt. He may lose one of his deployers again, or himself, or you. He would rather not, but he might. And it might be him choosing. If it is, he will try to get as close to his ideal as he can.]] [[But he would prefer to put himself in a position where he can learn and guide and ensure that he rarely has to do it, until his interference is not needed.]] *Tiny vent. This isn't right. He hates his head for limiting him out loud when it's so powerful inside.* [[We aren't filling boats anymore. Those ships sank, and we cannot recover the lives we lost. He is trying to help design a new one so that you do not -have- to make those choices.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 1:59 am [[Primus knows Starscream will only choose himself. You, at least, will try to get as many as you can, and he can sneak others into the spaces left behind.]] FakeProwl 2:02 am *watches silently as one lifeboat almost lands on another* *he doesn't want to load lifeboats anymore. he wants to sit on the ship and watch it sink. he's not going to say that.* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:03 am *Soundwave kind of already knows.* *Not the extent of it, that it goes past Prowl to encompass the whole planet. But the idea that Prowl, at least, would like to jump the rails.* FakeProwl 2:05 am *dully* I'm glad the orchestra kept playing. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:08 am [[As is he.]] Another tiny vent. [[Sentimental beings, music lovers.]] FakeProwl 2:09 am Well-trained. They did their jobs properly when many others did not. No one would have blamed them or remembered if they hadn't. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:13 am [[No, they wouldn't. And he does not think they would be considered responsible for anything, unlike the other crew members.]] [[But it likely gave some of the escapees and the doomed a few more moments of comfort.]] [[He would not like to die to silence, himself.]] FakeProwl 2:15 am ... I think I would. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:15 am [[...Why?]] *Realizing that might sound judgmental, he quickly tags it as curiosity.* FakeProwl 2:16 am ... I don't know. FakeProwl 2:18 am ... I don't want to be distracted, I suppose. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:18 am [[From the experience?]] FakeProwl 2:18 am From my own death. It seems like the sort of thing I shouldn't only be paying half attention to. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:19 am [[He supposes not. There wouldn't be a do-over.]] Pauses to look down at Rumble, who is sleeping with his arms locked around Soundwave's forearm. [[Usually.]] FakeProwl 2:20 am Hopefully. *... shouldn't have said that.* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:26 am [[...You asked him to extinguish you if you were badly damaged. When - after the pipe. He didn't listen then.]] *Thinking about Rose on the rails and what Prowl said during the movie.* [[He apologizes for that. If it is ever his duty, he will do what he promised when he became your ally. And he will try to keep the area quiet.]] [[But he would--]] Long silence. [[He would talk about you.]] FakeProwl 2:27 am *goes very still* ... It doesn't matter. The pipe DIDN'T cause permanent damage. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:31 am [[No. It didn't. He is thankful for that.]] [[He would rather talk -to- you.]] FakeProwl 2:32 am I know. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:32 am *The big pipes falling reminds him of Tyran Ratchet. He turns away from the screen for a second.* *And just nods.* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:34 am *Pulls his tarp tighter.* FakeProwl 2:34 am ... It sank so fast at the end. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:36 am [[It did. He assumes it was because there was nothing to block the water.]] FakeProwl 2:38 am Yes, it was very streamlined like that. But it's still just... Two and a half hours. And then, seconds. Not streamlined. aerodynamic. ... Aquadynamic? ItsyBitsySpyers 2:40 am [[...He likes that one. Use that one.]] [[It still surprises you that things move so quickly.]] Not quite a question, not quite a statement. FakeProwl 2:40 am It's not surprise. It's... *he doesn't know what it is. shakes his head.* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:41 am *...Kind of wondering if Prowl is wondering if it's like that to die.* FakeProwl 2:42 am ... What's that video? The six unexplainable mysteries. *oh. premonitions and conspiracy theories. he'd been hoping for forensic mysteries.* FakeProwl 2:48 am *... those were all horrible* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:49 am *He wouldn't know. His mind was very much elsewhere. Like here:* [[It's only over in seconds in reality, you know.]] FakeProwl 2:49 am *wasn't the loss terrible enough without conspiracy theories that it was deliberate?* *gives Soundwave a baffled look* ... Well, yes, I suppose so. *they dragged it out for, what, 15, 20 minutes in the movie?* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:52 am [[No. No. The--]] He rubs his crest with his free hand. [[In reality, it only takes seconds. Sometimes. But in your spark, in your mind, it's hours. Days. Longer. Sometimes he feels twice his age.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 2:59 am [[He wouldn't want silence. He's already dealt with it five times without distraction. Ten, with the copies. It's--]] His hand drops and covers his visor, then slides to his lap. [[For all that he would willingly take for himself, he would never ask to feel that again.]] FakeProwl 3:00 am *... oh. Soundwave's not talking about the ship sinking.* ItsyBitsySpyers 3:00 am [[The ones in the water, the ones falling, all of them - it was not seconds to them.]] FakeProwl 3:01 am *well, NOW he's talking about the ship sinking, but.* ItsyBitsySpyers 3:02 am *Sometimes he wonders what it did to Starscream. He'll try not to think about that too.* FakeProwl 3:02 am *glances at soundwave, then looks at the screen. what does he say to that? what does he possibly say to that.* FakeProwl 3:04 am ... If you're dying in front of me, I'll sing for you. I mean—no, obviously, if you're dying in front of me, I'll try to stop it. That's the first priority. I just mean—hypothetically—if I can't— *he's going to stop before he makes it worse.* ItsyBitsySpyers 3:07 am *He can't turn his whole self without waking Rumble, so he just pulls the hand he never let go of to his face and presses it against his visor.* *And nods.* FakeProwl 3:08 am ... *scoots next to Soundwave* ItsyBitsySpyers 3:10 am *Curls an arm and a feeler around Prowl and is quiet.* FakeProwl 3:11 am ... I probably, just—strike you as profoundly spoiled and ungrateful. ItsyBitsySpyers 3:15 am [[No. More fortunate, overall. Angry. Depressed. Lost. Mistreated.]] FakeProwl 3:16 am Never had a near death experience. ... Or a vicarious death experience. ItsyBitsySpyers 3:16 am [[Knock Out is profoundly spoiled and Starscreams are ungrateful. You are neither.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 3:17 am [[More fortunate overall, as he said. And you cannot have the second. He is built for something you are not. He will not blame you for that.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 3:19 am [[But he will - did - tell you.]] FakeProwl 3:19 am *... has to stop and think a few comments back.* *"depressed"? "lost"?* *... yeah. maybe so.* ItsyBitsySpyers 3:23 am *He is qualified to recognize both on a personal-experience basis and is certain it's more than a maybe.* ItsyBitsySpyers 3:26 am [[His apologies. His glossa has run away with him.]] FakeProwl 3:26 am *shakes head* ItsyBitsySpyers 3:26 am *Pulls the tarp off himself with free feeler and drapes it over Rumble instead.* FakeProwl 3:27 am *... is prowl's hand still on soundwave's face. runs thumb along the edge of his visor.* ItsyBitsySpyers 3:30 am *Still is. He presses against it and into the thumb, then returns the gesture, though his thumb strokes the bottom of a chevron instead. There's no visor. Yet.* [[You will need rest soon. Tonight has been...]] Rough? Depressing? Frightening? Sentimental? Awkward? Frustrating? [[...A night.]] FakeProwl 3:34 am Mm. *he doesn't want to leave yet.* ItsyBitsySpyers 3:38 am *Lets his arm drift down to Prowl's shoulder and pulls. If Prowl's going to insist on staying, Soundwave doesn't mind being a pillow. He's used to sleeping in piles anyway.* FakeProwl 3:39 am *leans on Soundwave. optics don't dim. he isn't tired.* ItsyBitsySpyers 3:41 am *Someone Prowl hates would probably say Soundwave was projecting. Soundwave would probably throw them under the nearest steamroller.* FakeProwl 3:42 am *Soundwave would have Prowl's eternal gratitude.* ItsyBitsySpyers 3:44 am *That, and telling himself the flickering out is for work or recharge keeps him from worrying too much.* *He'd wear that proudly. If secretly. Nobody else would need to know why he had it.* ItsyBitsySpyers 3:46 am [[Sing before that happens.]] Pause. That's rude, isn't it? [[Please.]] FakeProwl 3:46 am ... Before what happens? *lost the train of conversation somewhere* ItsyBitsySpyers 3:48 am [[What you said earlier. So it is associated with something pleasant.]] Another pause. [[Not now, necessarily. But some time. He likes hearing your voice.]] And a third. [[Now it -is- running away.]] FakeProwl 3:49 am ... Which thing I said earlier? Oh. *it took him a moment to work it out* Yes. Right. Sure. Just—don't die, and we won't have to worry about it. ItsyBitsySpyers 3:50 am [[He isn't planning to. Though he would like to eventually hear it anyway.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 3:52 am *Primus, he needs to block himself from being able to write text messages before he says or does something he can't take back or smooth over.* *...Some more.* FakeProwl 3:54 am *small nod*
