Feb 18 Dancitron CAH Night

Due to a catastrophic millipedekebab incident, movies are down at Dancitron for a while. Instead, they played cards.

Starscream flirted with Prowl. Prowl was flustered beyond words. Prowl flirted back. Starscream callously ignored it. Prowl was devastated.

After the card games, Prowl asked Soundwave why he switched back from a half visor to a full visor. The conversation wasn’t pleasant and did not end well for anybody.

No movie-ing tonight, I take it? /Smokescreen's flopping onto the couch for now!/ [7:35:06 PM] Swerve has joined the game. [7:35:08 PM] Specs has joined the game. [7:35:15 PM] <VProwl> *and here Prowl thought he'd arrived early* [7:35:29 PM] <+Specs> *hey, earlier than the dragon* [7:35:57 PM] <Swerve> [drops into a chair and sighs] [7:36:18 PM] WindchilltheBUTT has joined the game. [7:36:23 PM] Tarantulas has joined the game. [7:36:34 PM] <Swerve> Hellol. [7:36:39 PM] <asksmokescreen> Swerve, Swerve! How're you doing? [7:36:49 PM] <Swerve> Tired and mildly terrified. [7:37:04 PM] <+Specs> *speaking of the dragon, she has the usual snacks! scoot scoot, here comes the snack wagon.* [7:37:04 PM] Strscream has joined the game. [7:37:19 PM] <Slendy> [[No, no movie. Not for a while. The tower that allowed him to receive the Earth feeds has a terrible case of having become a metallipede kabob.]] [7:37:20 PM] Strscream has left the game. [7:37:32 PM] Strscream has joined the game. [7:37:37 PM] <VProwl> *the setup is different today. distressing.* [7:37:39 PM] Strscream has left the game. [7:37:55 PM] Strscream has joined the game. [7:38:05 PM] Strscream has left the game. [7:38:09 PM] <+Specs> ((starscream is flickering in and out of reality it seems)) [7:38:12 PM] <+Specs> ((save him)) [7:38:12 PM] <Slendy> *Soundwave nods to everyone on his way over to Prowl, who he pings with a personal greeting.* [7:38:21 PM] <Swerve> Do I wanna ask what happened to turn it into that? [7:38:25 PM] Starscream has joined the game. [7:39:02 PM] <Slendy> [[An oversized Underworld creature chose a poor location to jump out of the ground.]] [7:39:07 PM] <Swerve> Ouch. [7:39:30 PM] <asksmokescreen> Ohhh, yeah, I get that. Rip movies! [7:39:34 PM] <Starscream> *sitting far away from all Autobots* [7:40:32 PM] <Slendy> [[Also, he would remind you all that the general rules are still in place. We will begin either when we reach the peak number of players or in twenty minutes, whichever is first.]] [7:40:36 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *Is here, but not to worry the rest of him is still attached to the butt part.* [7:40:41 PM] <+Tarantulas> Is a metallipede from your universe the sort of mechanimal you'd actually make a meal of? Because if so, I do hope you're not wasting it, Soundwave. [7:40:42 PM] <Slendy> [[Do what you like to get comfortable in the meantime. ... Within the realm of decency.]] [7:40:49 PM] <+Specs> You're not going to eat it, then? Is it poisonous? *metallipede, by her knowledge of cybertronian, sounds like it ought to be similar enough to a bug to be edible.* [7:41:03 PM] <+Specs> *ah, the Science Spood beat her to it* [7:41:11 PM] <+Tarantulas> (( omg. opposite reactions. nice specs [7:41:35 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... Wait, can you eat metallipedes? [7:41:42 PM] <Slendy> [[He supposes one /could/ make a meal of it, but generally speaking it doesn't taste good. The armor is wonderful for construction work, however. He's already notified scavenging groups.]] [7:41:52 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *Clearly, walked in at precisely the right moment.* What are we eating? [7:41:53 PM] <Starscream> But why would you? [7:41:58 PM] <+Specs> ((tara and dragon can agree that "eat bugs")) [7:42:10 PM] <+Tarantulas> (( just don't eat SPIDE [7:42:22 PM] <Slendy> *Pings Prowl again, curious. He usually isn't so quiet.* [[He's eating nothing. The dragon and spider are contemplating the eating of tower-sized creatures.]] [7:42:29 PM] <+Specs> ((she apologized! she has instincts. like ravage.)) [7:42:57 PM] <+Tarantulas> Do let me know if there's anything interesting left over once the scavenging groups are through. [7:43:02 PM] <asksmokescreen> You, Windbutt! [7:43:11 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *Squints.* [7:43:23 PM] <+Specs> Anything can be eaten with enough time and patience. It just has to be worth it- and something that tastes bad, I suppose, is not worth the effort. *she kind of wants to try cooking one anyways* [7:43:24 PM] <Starscream> You know what? Now you have made me curious about what they taste like. I hope you are happy. [7:43:25 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> You can't eat me I'm toxic. [7:43:43 PM] <Slendy> [[Feel free to go there whenever you like. Any of you. He would like his tower back as soon as possible, and it is a VERY large beast.]] [7:44:03 PM] <+Specs> Well, we can't eat you /raw/ if you're toxic. What if I buried you in sand for a year, and then boiled you? [7:44:10 PM] <VProwl> ((prowl is quiet because mun is preparing dinner)) [7:44:13 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... How toxic are you? [7:44:33 PM] <Slendy> ((ooh i see. carry on)) [7:44:38 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Well, it's my personality mostly but the rest of me might be a little toxic too. [7:44:41 PM] <Starscream> How about we don't try to test it out? [7:44:45 PM] <+Tarantulas> He's only toxic in his relationsh - yes, that. [7:45:00 PM] <+Tarantulas> *huffs. self-deprication beat him to it* [7:45:03 PM] <Slendy> [[Please, no eating each other on the premises. That privilege is reserved for select parties.]] [7:45:11 PM] <Swerve> [snorts] [7:45:27 PM] <Slendy> *Ravage huffs from beneath the table, amused.* [7:45:27 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> I do eat garbage so I wouldn't recommend eating me anyway. [7:45:36 PM] <asksmokescreen> I'm kidding, I'm kidding! I wouldn't actually eat any part of any bots! [7:45:41 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> I would. [7:45:49 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... [7:45:51 PM] <asksmokescreen> But not me, right? [7:45:55 PM] <Starscream> *moves away, anxious* [7:46:07 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> I dunno, depends. [7:46:14 PM] <Slendy> *Soundwave remembers an incident contradicting Smokescreen, but will keep mum.* [7:46:15 PM] <Starscream> *moves further* [7:46:15 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> I like to be spontaneous that way. [7:46:23 PM] <Slendy> [[You're fine, Starscream. No one will bite you.]] [7:46:39 PM] <+Specs> I was under the impression that eating other cybertronians was taboo in most universes. [7:46:45 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> It is. [7:46:47 PM] <Starscream> One bite would be okay, eating not so much [7:46:57 PM] <asksmokescreen> *He is eternally grateful to Soundwave for NOT mentioning that incident* [7:47:04 PM] <Swerve> [doesn't comment] [7:47:10 PM] <Slendy> *Ravage snorts on Starscream's foot to test that statement* [7:47:11 PM] <asksmokescreen> I mean- if you bite me, you'll probably bite part of some garbage. [7:47:24 PM] <Starscream> *jumps* [7:47:30 PM] <+Specs> Okay, good. I thought I had been lied to. [7:47:35 PM] <Slendy> =Heh.= [7:47:43 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> You shouldn't talk about yourself that way, it erodes your self esteem. [7:47:48 PM] RulesAndProtocol has joined the game. [7:47:51 PM] <Starscream> Maybe I should go... [7:47:57 PM] Tarantulas has left the game. [7:47:58 PM] <Starscream> So many Autobots [7:47:59 PM] <Slendy> =Stay. It was but a joke.= [7:48:19 PM] <Starscream> And people who told me not to trust them [7:48:20 PM] <+RulesAndProtocol> Uh, Hi. [7:48:23 PM] araneamechanica has joined the game. [7:48:35 PM] <araneamechanica> (( BOO it kicked me out [7:48:37 PM] <Slendy> *Glance. Aha - the Prowl with the offspring.* [[Greetings, Prowl.]] [7:48:51 PM] <Slendy> ((wb. also y'all get what you need we start in 11 minutes)) [7:49:14 PM] tarantulas has joined the game. [7:49:40 PM] <tarantulas> (( oh my god what is going on CAH [7:49:48 PM] <+Specs> ((you've multiplied)) [7:49:53 PM] <Starscream> So... is this neutral ground or... [7:50:12 PM] <asksmokescreen> *So many Messys!* [7:50:12 PM] araneamechanica has left the game. [7:50:16 PM] <VProwl> ((im Here)) [7:50:16 PM] <asksmokescreen> *oh* [7:50:17 PM] tarantulas has left the game. [7:50:34 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> (( Also heads' up I'll likely only be in for an hour because at 6:00 my time the cat needs a glucose check and I guarantee it'll take long enough for the game to kick me anyway :U )) [7:50:37 PM] <Swerve> Is Tara having weird existential crisis. [7:50:40 PM] <Slendy> [[Yes. This is his territory, and as such, it is a neutral zone. He is also the only source of law with jurisdiction here, so choose your actions wisely.]] [7:50:49 PM] <Slendy> ((and roger that windchill! say hi to cat)) [7:50:50 PM] <asksmokescreen> Aren't we all, Swerve? [7:51:00 PM] Tarantulas has joined the game. [7:51:01 PM] <Swerve> I mean, I sure am. I think Whirl is. [7:51:21 PM] <Starscream> No, I won't do anything, I want to make sure the people who told me not to trust them can't do anything to me. [7:51:25 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> You can't have an existential crisis if you don't exist. [7:51:30 PM] <asksmokescreen> I'm always having some kind of regular crisis. It's probably about time I have an existential one, too. [7:51:34 PM] <+Specs> Whirl is a wonderful person but I think he /is/ an existential crisis sometimes. [7:51:35 PM] <Swerve> I think that's the definition. [7:51:38 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Works pretty well for me. [7:51:52 PM] <Slendy> [[They will not. And if they should somehow manage, he will deal with it personally.]] [7:52:09 PM] <VProwl> *pings back Soundwave and takes a seat next to him* [7:52:19 PM] <Starscream> Thank you Soundwave... wait, can I trust you? [7:52:25 PM] <Slendy> [[Naturally.]] [7:52:30 PM] <Starscream> Thanks [7:52:58 PM] <VProwl> If you ask someone you can't trust if you can trust them, wouldn't they, being untrustworthy, say "yes, of course you can trust me"? [7:53:01 PM] <Slendy> *There he is. Must have been doing something on the other side of that avatar. He scoots his seat over juuuust a bit.* [[Please, do all treat yourselves to the dragon's snacks. They're delectable.]] [7:53:23 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> (( Cat says hi, she squeaketh.)) [7:53:25 PM] <Slendy> *Glances at amica-Prowl. Is that implying he's untrustworthy? Rude. True, but rude.* [7:53:29 PM] <+Specs> *the dragon churrs in unalloyed delight* Thank you, Soundwave. [7:53:49 PM] <VProwl> *he didn't mean it that way. he meant Starscream is a little dumb if he's just taking people's words for it.* [7:53:51 PM] <Tarantulas> *snags a couple snacks and sprawls near vprowl/slend with his pedes on the table. is that rude too* [7:53:58 PM] <+Specs> ((goblin princess nugget squeaketh back)) [7:54:00 PM] <Slendy> *Oh. Well, that's rude but true as well.* [7:54:16 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> (( Cat squad )) [7:54:20 PM] <VProwl> *feet. hm.* [7:54:29 PM] <Tarantulas> *wiggly toes* [7:54:30 PM] <Slendy> *And Tarantulas gets a feeler on one ankle because like Pit is Soundwave texting all night.* [7:54:34 PM] <Starscream> ((Right now he's suffering pretty much total memory loss, so yeah, he's a bit naieve right now because of that)) [7:54:44 PM] <Slendy> ((babyyyy ;;)) [7:54:59 PM] <Slendy> ((FIVE MINUTES)) [7:55:11 PM] <asksmokescreen> *Smokescreen's going to start pinging Tarantulas. And pinging. And pinging.* [7:55:19 PM] <VProwl> ((hence why prowl is trying to get him to think about those consequences)) [7:55:33 PM] <Slendy> [[Oh, by the way, Swerve - what's this he hears about a bad night?]] [7:55:34 PM] <Tarantulas> *pingpingping back, he's pinging a little ditty* [7:55:40 PM] <Slendy> [[Someone start a bar fight?]] [7:55:52 PM] <asksmokescreen> *Oooh! A ditty! He's going to ping another ditty, in return!* [7:55:57 PM] <Starscream> I don't know how else to find out though [7:56:04 PM] <Swerve> Er. No. I uh. You know, I tried to send someone nudes and they ended up in the Wrong Place. [7:56:24 PM] <+RulesAndProtocol> That seems to be happening a lot recently. [7:56:24 PM] <VProwl> Hate when that happens. [7:56:27 PM] <Slendy> [[Observing their actions and testing them against their words, typically.]] *Absently, before he stares at Swerve in silence a moment or ten.* [[That's... unfortunate.]] [7:56:40 PM] <Swerve> Little more than unfortunate when it's Tarn who got them. [7:56:42 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> I did that last night. [7:57:03 PM] <Slendy> *That, right there, is quite the horrified emoji on his visor. To TARN?* [7:57:06 PM] <Starscream> ... Which one is Tarn again? [7:57:12 PM] <Tarantulas> *squints at prowl. 'hate when that happens'????? whatsglsfgd* [7:57:14 PM] <Slendy> [[The one who stole his face.]] [7:57:15 PM] <+Specs> Tarn is the one that sings people to death. [7:57:28 PM] <Swerve> Tarn wants to meet me. Alone. To negotiate Megatron. [7:57:28 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *Tsk tsk tsk* [7:57:32 PM] <Starscream> Hm... doesn't sound trustworthy [7:57:33 PM] <Swerve> I'm stuck on the alone part. [7:57:41 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Then don't go. [7:58:00 PM] <Slendy> *....Has only just realized what Prowl said. He looks over.* @P: [[Does that happen OFTEN?]] [7:58:05 PM] <VProwl> I suggest bringing Megatron tied with a bow. I think Tarn will forgive the slight disobedience. [7:58:27 PM] <VProwl> @S «No. Not OFTEN.» [7:58:32 PM] <+Specs> *the dragon tries- badly -to stifle a laugh at Prowl's suggestion. that's hilarious.* [7:58:53 PM] <Starscream> Does Lord Megatron like Tarn? [7:59:04 PM] <Swerve> On the one hand I kind of totally think I should but on the other I am not sure I'll survive going. [7:59:16 PM] <Slendy> [[Tarn likes Lord Megatron. In the way that only mindless fanatics like anything.]] [7:59:24 PM] <VProwl> Tarn is one of Lord Megatron's favorites. [7:59:26 PM] <Swerve> No he wants to kill Megatron actually. [7:59:35 PM] <Starscream> Oh... so like any good soldier likes Megatron? [7:59:38 PM] <Swerve> That's what he wants to negotiate. Handing over Megatron to die. [7:59:49 PM] <Starscream> DON'T [7:59:57 PM] <Slendy> [[Oh, do.]] [7:59:58 PM] <Starscream> I'll protect him [7:59:58 PM] <Slendy> ((OKAY WE'RE GOIN)) [8:00:04 PM] Play 2 cards, in the order you wish them to be judged. [8:00:10 PM] <+Specs> *the dragon side-eyes Starscream* The phrase "any good soldier" shouldn't be used by those who command them. [8:00:10 PM] <asksmokescreen> OOOH I'M THE JUDGE [8:00:14 PM] <asksmokescreen> Appease me! [8:00:25 PM] <Slendy> [[And now, with that wonderful thought in mind, let us play. You'll find your cards in front of you. He promises not to read your minds.]] [8:00:48 PM] <asksmokescreen> You wouldn't read my mind normally, would you, Soundwave? [8:00:55 PM] <Swerve> Oh I don't have too bad for cards. [8:00:58 PM] <+Specs> Mine's mostly full of recipies. [8:01:24 PM] WindchilltheBUTT wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:01:30 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> What am I looking at. [8:01:32 PM] <Starscream> What do you mean, Megatron is a great leader [8:01:33 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Oh shit. [8:01:40 PM] <VProwl> Just out of curiosity, how often do you NOT cheat at cards? Just—percentagewise. [8:01:44 PM] <Slendy> [[Primus, no, Smokescreen.]] *He has Smokescreen's feeds for that.* [8:01:56 PM] <Tarantulas> You don't ask a magician his secrets, Prowl. [8:02:22 PM] <Swerve> You should though [8:02:23 PM] <Tarantulas> Or... his statistics, I suppose. [8:02:23 PM] Tarantulas wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:02:26 PM] <+Specs> I mean only that it's a red flag amongst my species. [8:02:29 PM] <Slendy> [[...How often do you play with him?]] *He somehow manages to look guilty without his face being visible in the slightest.* [8:02:34 PM] <VProwl> *I* ask a magician his secrets. [8:02:42 PM] <Slendy> [[Trap doors.]] [8:02:44 PM] <+Specs> *squints at Tarantulas. which one was cheating, hm?* [8:03:23 PM] WindchilltheBUTT wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:03:24 PM] <VProwl> I play with you 100% of the time I'm at your games. I don't know how many games you have when I'm not around. [8:03:31 PM] Play 2 cards, in the order you wish them to be judged. [8:03:48 PM] <+Specs> *the dragon perks up. her turn to judge! appease the tiny, fuzzy dragon.* [8:04:00 PM] <asksmokescreen> Hey, Specs, did I ever tell you how handsome you are? [8:04:18 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *Rolls his optics* [8:04:29 PM] <+Specs> *churrs* Thank you... but that doesn't help when I don't know who played what card. [8:04:39 PM] <Slendy> [[He doesn't play very often. Except when he is somewhere else. Then he enjoys fleecing those who make habits of fleecing others.]] [8:04:41 PM] Tarantulas wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:04:50 PM] RulesAndProtocol has left the game. [8:04:55 PM] <Slendy> [[Particularly when useful currency is involved.]] [8:04:56 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *CRACKS KNUCKLES* [8:05:28 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *SQUINTS* [8:05:30 PM] <asksmokescreen> Hey, Windchill. You're awfully handsome, too! [8:05:38 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> The grammar is all wrong. [8:05:40 PM] <Slendy> *Quietly huffing at the vast, predatory bird.* [8:05:46 PM] <Starscream> Smokescreen, that won't help [8:05:48 PM] VProwl wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:05:52 PM] <asksmokescreen> I mean, I can try! [8:05:57 PM] <Swerve> [snickers] [8:05:59 PM] <+Specs> I never turn down compliments. [8:05:59 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Sorry, dude. [8:06:17 PM] <Starscream> You have to know who played the card to give preference to them [8:06:27 PM] <+Specs> ((damn, if only Swerve was czar, I have the perfect card)) [8:06:32 PM] <asksmokescreen> Messy? Messy, Messy- have you ever wanted to borrow the phase shifter? For like, a month? [8:06:32 PM] Tarantulas wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:06:43 PM] <Slendy> [[...That is luck he can do without.]] [8:06:51 PM] <Tarantulas> *snorts into his mouthful of snack at how he won that one* [8:07:02 PM] <Tarantulas> What? [8:07:06 PM] <Tarantulas> What is this about the phase shifter? [8:07:09 PM] <Swerve> [//lmao] [8:07:17 PM] <asksmokescreen> You know- maybe I can lend it to you for a while! [8:07:17 PM] <VProwl> *knows which one is going to win* [8:07:21 PM] Specs wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:07:24 PM] <VProwl> *knew it.* [8:07:26 PM] <asksmokescreen> ...

[8:07:38 PM] <Slendy> [[Oh, he actually knows this. Terrible story.]] [8:07:39 PM] <+Specs> And a shameless one. [8:07:54 PM] <Swerve> Man, don't hurt me with these cards. [8:08:13 PM] <VProwl> For the record, I don't have a "tactical processor." I have a processor. It's good at tactics. [8:08:22 PM] <Starscream> Oooooo [8:08:30 PM] <Slendy> *A Shockwave not finishing their work - indeed, terrible.* [8:08:30 PM] <Tarantulas> You mean borrow it for a prolonged amount of time, Smokescreen? [8:08:31 PM] <Starscream> Can you teach me? [8:08:35 PM] <+Specs> I can only do so much with the cards I am given. Unless vandalism is permitted. [8:08:41 PM] <asksmokescreen> ...... Maaybe? [8:08:55 PM] Tarantulas wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:08:59 PM] <Tarantulas> And of course, Prowl. I simply chose the card with your designation on it. [8:09:01 PM] <VProwl> There are cards you're permitted to commit vandalism on. [8:09:03 PM] <VProwl> I know you did. [8:09:03 PM] Play 2 cards, in the order you wish them to be judged. [8:09:09 PM] <asksmokescreen> Dangit, one day I'm going to get a point. [8:09:39 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> If we gang up and kill Tarantulas you might have a chance. [8:09:49 PM] <asksmokescreen> No!!! [8:09:49 PM] <+Specs> No killing the science spider, please. [8:09:56 PM] <asksmokescreen> Messy's my friend and I couldn't do that [8:09:59 PM] <Tarantulas> *smug at how he's being defended* [8:10:03 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> But then you'd have to kill me. [8:10:07 PM] <asksmokescreen> Okay [8:10:29 PM] <Slendy> ((THE LOCKPICKING i'm dying)) [8:10:29 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Just saying. [8:10:36 PM] Starscream wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:10:44 PM] Play 2 cards, in the order you wish them to be judged. [8:10:51 PM] <asksmokescreen> I'd sooner do that than hurt Messy [8:11:25 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *He's gonna throw away some cards on this one.* [8:11:32 PM] <asksmokescreen> Buuuut I wouldn't do either [8:11:33 PM] <Starscream> I didn't mean it glorious leader, I hope he doesn't hear about this [8:11:37 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Do what? [8:11:43 PM] <VProwl> *doesn't bother defending when the threat is clearly insincere. ... that said he's prepared to bridge someone into a star.* [8:11:46 PM] <asksmokescreen> Hurt you [8:12:05 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Oh, yeah. I don't take that stuff personally. Usually. [8:12:13 PM] Swerve wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:12:22 PM] <Tarantulas> You really needn't, Smokescreen, hush now. [8:12:26 PM] <asksmokescreen> Soundwave, we're the only ones left in the no-point club! [8:12:31 PM] <asksmokescreen> I know, I know.

[8:13:50 PM] <Slendy> [[Of course. It means he couldn't possibly be the worst mech in the room. Which he isn't, and could never be.]] [8:13:55 PM] <Swerve> Oof, tough. [8:13:56 PM] <Starscream> Can... can you guys promise not to tell Lord Megatron what cards I played in the round I won? Please? [8:14:00 PM] Starscream wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:14:05 PM] <+Specs> Of course I won't tell. [8:14:07 PM] <VProwl> *is INSULTED* [8:14:15 PM] <Swerve> I'm sorry!!!! Too many choices. [8:14:21 PM] <Swerve> They were all so good. [8:14:25 PM] <+Specs> *hmph. her pandering has failed. and she saved "rodimus' magic buttcrack for Swerve!* [8:14:33 PM] <VProwl> I had the only internally coherent set. [8:14:34 PM] <Swerve> [hides face in hands] [8:14:36 PM] <Slendy> [[Your secret is his secret.]] [8:14:44 PM] <Slendy> [[He thought it was a true and brilliant set, Prowl.]] [8:14:49 PM] <VProwl> THANK you. [8:14:54 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> There's no accounting for humour. [8:14:57 PM] <Swerve> It was nice. [8:15:11 PM] <Slendy> [[Most of these are, in fact, true.]] [8:15:15 PM] <+Specs> *the dragon considers* Prowl, even or odd? [8:15:24 PM] <VProwl> Even. [8:15:30 PM] <+Specs> *hey, she needs a coin flip and she doesn't have a coin* Very well. [8:15:36 PM] VProwl wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:15:42 PM] <VProwl> *that worked out well.* [8:15:47 PM] <+Specs> ... *lucky prowl* [8:15:49 PM] <Starscream> They do? [8:15:53 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Do me proud. [8:15:56 PM] <Tarantulas> ...Have you ever realized that the word 'even' has an even number of letters, and the word 'odd' has odd. [8:16:04 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> I can;t count. [8:16:05 PM] <Tarantulas> *stares off* [8:16:11 PM] <asksmokescreen> That's just odd! [8:16:17 PM] <VProwl> They're well designed. [8:16:34 PM] Starscream wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:16:47 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *He's very decisive apparently* [8:17:08 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *Okay this one is actually true for him.* [8:17:23 PM] asksmokescreen wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:17:29 PM] <asksmokescreen> My first point!!

[8:18:04 PM] <Swerve> [holds face and cackles quietly at cards] [8:18:04 PM] <Tarantulas> You never know. Someone else might. [8:18:08 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> All of these are wrong. [8:18:09 PM] <Slendy> [[He doesn't either. He looked.]] [8:18:15 PM] <Starscream> ((True, but also... my eyes!)) [8:18:21 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *Raises eyebrows* [8:18:28 PM] <Slendy> =Wait, WHAT.= [8:18:36 PM] <+Specs> *she doesn't have eyebrows to raise, but...* [8:18:37 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *Cackles* [8:18:42 PM] <Tarantulas> *tarantulas is DYING* [8:18:52 PM] <asksmokescreen> ((my eyes love this stuff and i hope to get a sg tc sometime to continue my tacky shelf)) [8:19:03 PM] <Swerve> [losing it into his drink] [8:19:07 PM] <VProwl> *............ "spiny"?* [8:19:17 PM] asksmokescreen wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:19:19 PM] <Slendy> *Ravage slinks off with his nose in the air to be insulted. He gets as far as Soundwave's lap before curling up and hissing at the table.* [8:19:21 PM] <asksmokescreen> :D [8:19:24 PM] <asksmokescreen> I love you, Messy!

[8:19:44 PM] <Slendy> *Hissing LOUDER* [8:19:56 PM] <+Specs> Leave Ravage alone, that's his business and his alone. [8:20:01 PM] <Starscream> Sorry... [8:20:09 PM] <Tarantulas> His and his partners', one supposes. [8:20:10 PM] <Slendy> [[If there is a card that says "to ask Soundwave what he should actually do for once", you will wi-- oh. How disappointing.]] [8:20:13 PM] <Slendy> [[Well, let him look.]] [8:20:26 PM] <asksmokescreen> Soundwave, if you give me a point, I'll lend you a particular book [8:20:34 PM] <Slendy> [[You'll lend him the book anyway.]] [8:20:37 PM] <asksmokescreen> No [8:20:58 PM] Starscream wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:21:03 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... I mean, maybe I will, but. [8:21:08 PM] <Slendy> [[War without end was a good idea, but if it doesn't end, it can't complete a conquest.]] [8:21:37 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... Oh. Dock. DOCK. [8:21:40 PM] <+Specs> ... [8:21:45 PM] <Swerve> [snorts] [8:21:48 PM] <Starscream> Megatron doesn't want war without end anyway [8:21:49 PM] <Swerve> Is that what it says. [8:21:50 PM] <Slendy> *Glower.* [8:21:53 PM] <VProwl> ((THE FIRST TIME I DIDN'T READ "DOCK" EITHER)) [8:21:59 PM] <asksmokescreen> I misread that for a klik! [8:22:04 PM] <Tarantulas> (( where's YOUR brain at puff [8:22:08 PM] <VProwl> ((dick)) [8:22:09 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> I thought it was a typo. [8:22:10 PM] Tarantulas wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds.

[8:22:43 PM] <Swerve> Hmm. Throwaway cards for me [8:22:48 PM] <Slendy> [[Neither would he.]] [8:23:00 PM] <VProwl> *mutters something about not minding getting HIS dentae on them* [8:23:07 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *Eyes the Trypticon one warily.* [8:23:13 PM] Specs wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:23:14 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *It might try to get him.* [8:23:24 PM] <Starscream> I like my pointless fangs [8:23:29 PM] <+Specs> In my defense, I had only the single internally consistent card. [8:23:29 PM] <Slendy> *Gently nudges Prowl.* [[And here he thought he sufficiently pandered.]] [8:23:43 PM] <Slendy> [[Did you?]] [8:24:01 PM] <VProwl> Which was yours? [8:24:03 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *Has....two of the exact same card in his deck now?* [8:24:19 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> *Fascinating.* [8:24:43 PM] VProwl wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:24:44 PM] <Slendy> [[He supposes /his/ have a discernible reason to exist.]] [8:25:03 PM] <+Specs> Pumpkin-related cards automatically win this round. [8:25:13 PM] <asksmokescreen> Specs, I think I just gave you my BEST card combo ever [8:25:15 PM] <VProwl> I didn't choose it because it said "my." I don't want people coming into my fangs. ... And I don't ahve fangs anymore. [8:25:25 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Good to know. [8:25:26 PM] WindchilltheBUTT wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:25:31 PM] <+Specs> *wheezes* [8:25:34 PM] <Slendy> [[...You had them?]] [8:25:37 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> You're welcome. [8:25:37 PM] <Swerve> Oh my god. [8:25:38 PM] <+Specs> Ultra /magnets/... [8:25:44 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... Oh [8:25:44 PM] <Slendy> *Twisting to peer at his mouth.* [8:25:50 PM] <VProwl> Before the war, yeah. When everyone did.

The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:26:39 PM] <Swerve> I've never had fangs. They're kind of cool. [8:26:42 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Damn straight. [8:26:43 PM] <Slendy> [[...Why did you get rid of them?]] [8:26:48 PM] <+Specs> *aha, favor returned* [8:26:59 PM] <Slendy> [[And he recommends them, Swerve. They are useful.]] [8:27:00 PM] <Starscream> They can get inconvenient I guess [8:27:04 PM] <VProwl> Well, not "everyone." When they were trendy. [8:27:10 PM] <Starscream> I bite myself all the time [8:27:20 PM] <Slendy> [[He objects. He doesn't have a card with his own name on it.]] [8:27:22 PM] <Swerve> Maybe I will. They're kinda attractive on the right mech. [8:27:24 PM] <+Specs> Fangs are- *pfff, ultra magnets* -Fangs are delightful and very useful. [8:27:32 PM] <VProwl> I got rid of them because I didn't continue to like them when they stopped being trendy. [8:27:42 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> But unnecessary. [8:27:49 PM] Tarantulas wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:27:57 PM] <+Specs> ...The last card is you as written by Smokescreen? [8:27:59 PM] <Slendy> *Pings Tarantulas a satisfied note.* [8:28:01 PM] <Tarantulas> *cackles* Look, it's you, Soundwave. [8:28:02 PM] <asksmokescreen> why tentacles messy :( [8:28:03 PM] <+Specs> *or as played by Tara* [8:28:08 PM] <asksmokescreen> what no [8:28:10 PM] <Swerve> [laughs] [8:28:35 PM] <VProwl> *... mm. feeler-transferred data......* [8:28:40 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> None of my cards are gross enough for this. [8:28:54 PM] VProwl wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:29:02 PM] Play 2 cards, in the order you wish them to be judged. [8:29:03 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Nice.

[8:33:02 PM] <Starscream> How are any of you still alive? [8:33:08 PM] <+Specs> Luck, I suspect. [8:33:15 PM] <Tarantulas> Serendipity. [8:33:17 PM] <Swerve> Inexplicable shenanigans and Brainstorm, mostly. [8:33:18 PM] <Slendy> [[Throwing thousands of others under the bus.]] [8:33:51 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Is that a rhetorical question. [8:33:52 PM] <+Specs> Brainstorm, as in, "wildly unsafe brand of quote-unquote science" Brainstorm? [8:33:53 PM] Tarantulas wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds.

[8:35:02 PM] Play 3 cards, in the order you wish them to be judged. [8:35:02 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> I would eat them probably. [8:35:03 PM] <Slendy> [[He is absolutely not.]] [8:35:06 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> And get sick. [8:35:26 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> But that would just be the consequences of eating pumpkins I guess.

He has this.]] [8:43:57 PM] <+Specs> *smokescreen, she is fox-sized, she is too Smol to do that to!* [8:44:21 PM] <VProwl> Three-card combos are difficult. I doubt you'll have much competition. [8:44:23 PM] <asksmokescreen> *He can try!* [8:44:32 PM] <Slendy> ((NOOOO LET ME COMPLETE IT)) [8:44:36 PM] Tarantulas was skipped this round for being idle for too long. [8:44:37 PM] <+Specs> *he can give her a myocardial infarction!* [8:45:00 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Um.

He's Soundwave.* [8:46:43 PM] <Slendy> *Have you seen Prowl around?* [8:46:51 PM] <+Specs> *the dragon gets the sudden, inexplicable urge to thawp Soundwave, but does not act on it* [8:47:03 PM] <VProwl> ... I would like to state, for the record, that either the one with the Dinobots OR the one with Tyrest could make for a harrowing psychological thriller. [8:47:13 PM] Slendy wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [8:47:18 PM] <Slendy> *PLEASED* [8:47:37 PM] <+Specs> Dinobots in an energon shipment is inherently terrifying. *that was her play, she is pleased.* [8:47:43 PM] <VProwl> *you win because prowl is still sorta into tyrest and ultra magnus* [8:47:46 PM] <Swerve> God why do I always have the perfect card only when it's my turn to judge? [8:47:57 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Irony. [8:48:11 PM] Hurry up! You have less than 10 seconds to decide, or you will be skipped.

These cards are probably inverted, so the bot that got the least is the worst, probably. [8:51:37 PM] <Slendy> ((new game in ten minutes?)) [8:51:49 PM] <asksmokescreen> ((Sounds good to me!)) [8:52:07 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Next person to win gets eaten. [8:52:18 PM] <VProwl> ((in the meantime i will finish my MUSH! ROOM! SOUP!)) [8:52:19 PM] <+Lieutenant> *will take his drink for his 'Wheeljack card' from earlier in the meantime* [8:52:21 PM] <Slendy> [[A small break first, however. He has to check on - that is a /terrible/ prize.]] [8:52:25 PM] <Tarantulas> *pings prowl back a few exasperated times, but nothing serious* [8:52:25 PM] <Slendy> [[...Possibly.]] [8:52:38 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> God, I hope it's me. [8:52:40 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... I'll win [8:52:43 PM] Specs has left the game. [8:52:49 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> I'll fight you. [8:53:01 PM] <+Lieutenant> There is a prize? [8:53:02 PM] <Slendy> *Soundwave gives Prowl and Tarantulas each a single pat before getting up to help Lieutenant with the drinks.* [8:53:14 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Yes, whoever wins gets eaten. [8:53:18 PM] <+Lieutenant> .... [8:53:20 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Probably by yours truly. [8:53:27 PM] <+Lieutenant> I was not aware is was Sunday [8:53:28 PM] <asksmokescreen> What if you win [8:53:28 PM] <Slendy> [[That is /not/ the prize.]] [8:53:37 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... What is the prize? [8:53:43 PM] <Slendy> [[The prize is having your personal dignity and honor forever smeared by one more degree.]] [8:53:51 PM] <WindchilltheBUTT> Then I put my foot in my mouth I guess. [8:53:52 PM] <asksmokescreen> Can I hug the winner for each round? 'Cause I wanna hug Messy.

[8:54:28 PM] <Tarantulas> *actually snatches soundwave's tendril as he leaves to give him a goodbye, he's off for now, maybe back later perhaps. and a quiet goodbye to prowl as well, and a pinged ditty to smokescreen* [8:54:38 PM] <+Lieutenant> Physical contact should be banned [8:54:43 PM] <VProwl> *a farewell ping to tarantulas* [8:54:44 PM] <Slendy> *Oh?

[9:26:10 PM] <Slendy> *Glance to Prowl.* [[You kept yours?]] [9:26:13 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Give me your worst. [9:26:19 PM] <rodicron> Long as you're not Getaway, you could get a Rodimus badge. [9:26:23 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I'm ready. [9:26:23 PM] <VProwl> It's magnetic. [9:26:28 PM] Megatron has left the game. [9:26:30 PM] <+Lieutenant> ... *has no idea who Rodimus is. His timeline is way too far behind to know who that is* [9:26:38 PM] <VProwl> Getaway's got a Rodimus star. [9:26:47 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> You say that, but you have't officially met me. [9:26:53 PM] <rodicron> WELL I DON'T REMEMBER GIVING ONE SO HE DOESN'T HAVE ONE [9:26:56 PM] <Swerve> Surprisingly he does. [9:27:09 PM] Kingscream wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:27:09 PM] <rodicron> DON'T REMEMBER IT, SO IT DIDN'T HAPPEN [9:27:14 PM] <Slendy> [[...What does Getaway have one for?]] [9:27:28 PM] <VProwl> He didn't tell me. Being pretty? [9:27:36 PM] <Swerve> I'm not actually sure. I think it was for getting us off Luna 1? [9:27:41 PM] <Swerve> MAybe. [9:27:48 PM] <Slendy> [[Then it must have been a mistake.]] [9:27:57 PM] <rodicron> Even I make those, sometimes. [9:28:00 PM] <rodicron> Or my alternates. [9:28:03 PM] <rodicron> Or whatever. [9:28:08 PM] <Slendy> *Getaway, pretty? Ha.* [9:28:21 PM] <asksmokescreen> ((DANGIT i used the wrong card [9:28:30 PM] WindchillhasFeet wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:28:31 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> (( RIP )) [9:28:36 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Hell yeah. [9:28:39 PM] <asksmokescreen> ((I should've used "The Unicron Trilogy" [9:28:43 PM] <Slendy> [[Someone is insulting your title.]] *To Starscream* [9:28:45 PM] <VProwl> *liked the mental image of Unicron choking on Bombshell* [9:29:12 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Liked the idea of insecticon hard ons.* [9:29:24 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *That's it that's the depth of the reasoning.* [9:29:29 PM] <VProwl> Dominus Ambus has a WHAT? [9:29:37 PM] <rodicron> Whoa. [9:29:41 PM] <Kingscream> Hmph! Insult is an expression of envy. [9:29:47 PM] <Swerve> [coughs] [9:29:51 PM] <Slendy> *Soundwave peers at that card.* [[Learn something new every day.]] [9:29:54 PM] rodicron wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:29:57 PM] <asksmokescreen> ....... [9:29:58 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I probably know someone with that kink. [9:29:59 PM] <asksmokescreen> :( [9:30:02 PM] <rodicron> YEAH!!!!! [9:30:05 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... What's breastfeeding [9:30:05 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> But I'm afraid to find out so I won't ask. [9:30:08 PM] <rodicron> ABOUT THE CARD [9:30:11 PM] <rodicron> NOT THE BOOB LIQUID [9:30:19 PM] <rodicron> i mean that's cool too but not my thing sooooo [9:30:36 PM] <Slendy> [[It means Dominus Ambus is into interfacing with fleshlings, as far as he understands it.]] [9:30:45 PM] <VProwl> *prowl is shocked. stunned. amazed. also he doesn't actually know what breastfeeding is.* [9:30:46 PM] WindchillhasFeet wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:30:57 PM] <asksmokescreen> Ohhh. Is it really that weird? [9:30:57 PM] <VProwl> *he imagines it means vore, but through your chest instead of your mouth.* [9:31:14 PM] <+Lieutenant> *makes a mental note to purchase more drinks when leaving to try and drown out the memories* [9:31:16 PM] <rodicron> It's an organic thing. Like, they do it to feed their kids. [9:31:17 PM] <Swerve> [doesn't actually know either but he's not admitting it's his card] [9:31:19 PM] <Slendy> [[He doesn't know, beyond that.]] [9:31:21 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Windchill, a relative expert in earth biology, feels no need to enlighten anyone.* [9:31:37 PM] <+Lieutenant> *Appreciates* [9:31:50 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... There's a lot of weird organic things, that doesn't narrow it down [9:31:55 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *And that's all the tact you'll get out of him this evening.* [9:31:57 PM] Slendy wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:32:03 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Gasps* [9:32:08 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Overlord's what? [9:32:27 PM] <rodicron> Overlord's a lot of things. [9:32:27 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> ....His lips are fake? [9:32:29 PM] <Swerve> I think it's a cow. [9:32:32 PM] <Slendy> [[Pardon him for not being interested in human mating rituals and all the oozing and shedding that goes on.]] [9:32:47 PM] <asksmokescreen> Understandable, Soundwave! [9:33:05 PM] WindchillhasFeet wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:33:12 PM] <rodicron> Actually, if anyone were to get it, it'd probably be Soundwave. You got cassettes, right? It's the same basic thing, I think. [9:33:13 PM] Play 2 cards, in the order you wish them to be judged. [9:33:15 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I'm gonna punch him next time I see him. [9:33:28 PM] <Slendy> [[He does not. He has deployers, and they do not turn into cassettes.]] [9:34:01 PM] <rodicron> ... they don't? Huh. Guess that's why you're so skinny. [9:34:08 PM] <rodicron> ... what do they turn into? [9:34:18 PM] <Slendy> [[Armor, mostly.]] [9:34:27 PM] <rodicron> That's... practical, I guess. [9:34:34 PM] <Slendy> [[Rather.]] [9:34:35 PM] Swerve wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds.

(For reference, the winning card set:)

[9:34:43 PM] Play 2 cards, in the order you wish them to be judged. [9:34:46 PM] <Kingscream> Arranging the entertainment for Dancitron, I suppose. [9:34:46 PM] <VProwl> *looks at winning card set* [9:34:48 PM] <Slendy> *Soundwave slooooooooowly turns to look at Starscream* [9:34:51 PM] <VProwl> *stares at Starscream* [9:34:57 PM] <Swerve> We've got eyes, okay [9:35:13 PM] <rodicron> I wish I had more optics. [9:35:16 PM] <rodicron> That seems like fun. [9:35:26 PM] <Kingscream> *wiggles eyebrows at PRowl* [9:35:37 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Gross. [9:35:40 PM] <Slendy> [[He has sixteen. It is not as fun as you th....ink.]] *What's with the waggle. Why is Starscream waggling.* [9:35:42 PM] <VProwl> *optics slowly widen* [9:36:11 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Is offended at the first card.* [9:36:23 PM] <Slendy> *He's learning a whole lot about everyone at this table, Swerve apparently included.* [9:36:25 PM] <VProwl> *his processor fans audibly click on as he desperately tries to figure out whether Starscream is serious* [9:36:31 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Which one of you is talking about his side ho like that.* [9:36:35 PM] WindchillhasFeet wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:36:40 PM] <rodicron> It's true. [9:36:46 PM] <rodicron> Also, have a Rodimus Star. [9:36:57 PM] <Kingscream> *starscream is not serious. Starscream's pker face is also not the greatest so he'll just hide it in his cards now* [9:37:11 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> What is true? [9:37:20 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *He was not paying attention.* [9:37:27 PM] <VProwl> *he is wildly misinterpreting Starscream's suddenly averted gaze as confirmation* [9:37:30 PM] <rodicron> Starscream being teenage human bait. [9:37:34 PM] rodicron wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:37:39 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Gross, man. [9:38:18 PM] <rodicron> Yeah, leave him on Earth long enough and a bunch of them will just attach themselves to him. It's weird. [9:38:21 PM] <VProwl> *gazes vacantly into space* [9:38:24 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I have seen teenaged humans and it's not great. [9:38:35 PM] <Slendy> @P: [[....Should he clear time for you and Starscream to talk after this game...?]] [9:38:36 PM] <VProwl> *....................................................... OH right he's supposed to choose a card* [9:38:41 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> One gave me a smelly candle though. [9:38:53 PM] Kingscream wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:39:00 PM] <rodicron> That sounds like a party. [9:39:05 PM] <rodicron> A nerd party. [9:39:07 PM] <VProwl> @S «/Yes./» [9:39:27 PM] <Swerve> Urgh throw away hand again [9:39:41 PM] <Slendy> *Starts slightly at the force behind that thought. Just - nods, awkwardly. He's a good and helpful amica, and by Primus, he will help Prowl hit that.* [9:39:45 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I really need someone to win more cards than I have like, immediately. [9:39:56 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Else I have to eat myself and that's just awkward. [9:40:06 PM] <Kingscream> *starscream would be laughing so hard if he knew what Prowl and Soundwave were saying* [9:40:12 PM] <rodicron> Give you five shanix to do it right now. [9:40:19 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> What? [9:40:20 PM] <Slendy> [[He's seen some mechs do that when they get hungry. Wings are usually easy to spare if you have them.]] [9:40:30 PM] <Swerve> Sounds like fun. [9:40:31 PM] Swerve wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:40:48 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Not if you need to fly at any point. [9:41:18 PM] <Slendy> [[Presumably if you are so desperate for energy you would eat your own wings, you wouldn't have enough for flight anyway.]] [9:41:20 PM] <Swerve> The butt wiggle's funny as hell though. [9:41:20 PM] <+Lieutenant> Psh [9:41:25 PM] <asksmokescreen> OH i'm the judge [9:41:27 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Easier to eat the other guy and make your escape with the wings you still have. [9:41:29 PM] rodicron wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:41:34 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... [9:41:35 PM] <rodicron> [quieeeeetly not gonna say anything in the 'eating' field, because he was told not to and this card game looks like more fun than naking on someone] [9:42:01 PM] <Swerve> Damn it once again I have good cards I can't use. [9:42:06 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Tragic. [9:42:09 PM] <Slendy> [[And once again he has nothing.]] [9:42:16 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I shed a single tear for you both. [9:42:20 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> You have to share. [9:42:22 PM] <Slendy> [[You'd think his deployers would at least deal him ones worth his time.]] [9:42:28 PM] <Slendy> [[So much for loyalty.]] [9:42:35 PM] <rodicron> Eh, maybe they're good at not being biased. [9:42:36 PM] <rodicron> (( also i want that 'unicanyounot' on a t-shirt )) [9:42:52 PM] <Swerve> God there's three whole choices I can't pick them all. [9:42:53 PM] <Slendy> [[Oh, pick the third. He likes the third.]] [9:42:59 PM] asksmokescreen wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:43:01 PM] <asksmokescreen> You would- [9:43:02 PM] <asksmokescreen> YES [9:43:07 PM] Play 2 cards, in the order you wish them to be judged. [9:43:07 PM] <Slendy> [[Damn.]] [9:43:07 PM] <VProwl> So much for pandering. [9:43:09 PM] <rodicron> there's [9:43:10 PM] <asksmokescreen> Swerve I will clean all your floors [9:43:11 PM] <rodicron> two? [9:43:17 PM] <Swerve> My bar was good though. [9:43:22 PM] <+Lieutenant> Who is Magnus Vision? [9:43:26 PM] <Slendy> [[....Magnus Vision? What is Magnus Vision?]] [9:43:40 PM] <Swerve> Never heard of him [9:43:41 PM] <Swerve> Her [9:43:41 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I'm afraid to find out. [9:43:42 PM] <+Lieutenant> Oh thank Primes, not alone in this confusion [9:43:43 PM] <Swerve> ? [9:43:44 PM] <asksmokescreen> I think Ultra Magnus just has really bad vision! [9:43:46 PM] <VProwl> I've never met him. [9:43:47 PM] <rodicron> I have way too many Megatron-centric cards. [9:43:50 PM] <asksmokescreen> Like, he probably needs glasses or something. [9:43:56 PM] <rodicron> Magnus ALWAYS has bad visions. [9:44:05 PM] <rodicron> Or his optics are bad. [9:44:07 PM] <rodicron> Whichever. [9:44:14 PM] <+Lieutenant> OH [9:44:15 PM] <+Lieutenant> WAIT [9:44:20 PM] <Slendy> [[...What's Faceless Prowl?]] *Turn.* [[Have you ever not had a face?]] [9:44:21 PM] <+Lieutenant> Magus' vision [9:44:22 PM] <VProwl> ... Who in the world is "Faceless Prowl"? [9:44:28 PM] <VProwl> No. I've had one since I was built. [9:44:38 PM] <+Lieutenant> Really needs and apostrophe [9:44:42 PM] <rodicron> Dude gets fragged over a datapad out of place, so a bit of fun-juice might do something bad to him. [9:44:42 PM] <+Lieutenant> *an [9:44:47 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Maybe it's a vision from the future. [9:44:48 PM] <Swerve> I think it's that one universe's Prowl who is a bird? [9:45:00 PM] <VProwl> I'm a /bird/? [9:45:01 PM] <rodicron> PROWL'S A BIRD??? [9:45:01 PM] <Swerve> IS he a bird? Maybe he's a wolf. [9:45:12 PM] Swerve wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:45:18 PM] <Swerve> Wolf bird? That universe is confusing, it's where they're all animals. [9:45:18 PM] <Slendy> [[Nonsense. That Prowl has a face. And don't let the twins hear you talking about messing with Ultra Magnus. He already had to bail them out this week.]] [9:45:44 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *throwaway card time* [9:45:44 PM] <rodicron> Wouldn't a wolf-bird be a bat? [9:45:51 PM] <rodicron> PROWL ARE YOU A BAT BOI [9:45:54 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> No, bats are mice. [9:45:58 PM] <VProwl> Volume. [9:45:58 PM] <Slendy> [[No, a wolf-bird is a Silverbolt. Keep up.]] [9:46:35 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *The cannon amuses him.* [9:46:36 PM] VProwl wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:46:40 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... Don't use knives on Black Shadow [9:46:45 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Who? [9:46:50 PM] <rodicron> That's his name? [9:46:54 PM] <asksmokescreen> He's a really stinky phase sixer [9:46:55 PM] <rodicron> Dang. [9:46:58 PM] <+Lieutenant> I am now officially losing and thriving. [9:47:06 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Why...is he stinky? [9:47:14 PM] <asksmokescreen> 'Cause he never bathes! [9:47:25 PM] <Slendy> *Huffs quietly at the last round's winning card* [9:47:26 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Oh, figures. [9:47:29 PM] <rodicron> Uh, not many mechanicals DO. [9:47:32 PM] <rodicron> ... right? [9:47:36 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... [9:47:39 PM] <asksmokescreen> Stinkymus [9:47:41 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Uh no. [9:47:47 PM] <rodicron> I mean, i wax a lot, but cleaning supply is expensive. [9:47:51 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I bathe, my boyfriend bathes...Overlord bathes... [9:47:59 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Okay, maybe that's it. [9:48:02 PM] asksmokescreen wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:48:07 PM] <Slendy> [[As a flight model, he keeps himself very clean.]] [9:48:10 PM] <rodicron> Overlord's also a weirdo. [9:48:15 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Gasps.* [9:48:18 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> That's true. [9:48:21 PM] <+Lieutenant> *internally claws at the bags under his eyes at the non-bathing folks* [9:48:35 PM] <rodicron> WAX MAKES ME SMELL GOOD [9:48:36 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Not because he bathes, though. [9:48:54 PM] <Slendy> [[Please, do refrain from shouting. Some of us have sensitive audio receptors.]] *Taps the side of his head.* [9:49:02 PM] <rodicron> Oh, sorry dude. [9:49:05 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Thank you.* [9:49:13 PM] Slendy wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:49:14 PM] <Slendy> *Nods.* [[Most appreciated.]] [9:49:24 PM] <Slendy> [[...Not a fan of the little red mech, Windchill?]] [9:49:29 PM] <rodicron> My boss isn't keen on us getting in water or using cleaning solution, tho'. [9:49:35 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> It was the only one that made any sense to me. [9:49:36 PM] <rodicron> So not bathing isn't my fault. [9:49:43 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Never met the guy. [9:50:10 PM] <Slendy> [[Hmph. Terrible supervising standards, then.]] [9:50:10 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> But I realize that I made a decision a little too quickly there. [9:50:28 PM] <rodicron> [leeaaaaaaans up on his tippy-pedes] [9:50:40 PM] <VProwl> ... "Ants" is the organic term for one's creator's siblings, correct? [9:50:53 PM] <rodicron> Eh, close enough. [9:50:53 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> ...Let's say yes. [9:50:55 PM] Slendy wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:50:57 PM] <Slendy> [[No, no. That is Aunts. Ants are the insects.]] [9:51:03 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Damn it. [9:51:10 PM] <rodicron> Yeah, but ants have aunts don't they? [9:51:13 PM] <rodicron> Totally counts. [9:51:18 PM] <Kingscream> ....*sqints* [9:51:20 PM] <Kingscream> *looks down* [9:51:26 PM] <Slendy> @P: [[He thinks you know the answer to this one.]] *Humor ping.* [9:51:38 PM] <rodicron> [reachies to touchie the screamy leg] [9:52:00 PM] <Kingscream> Unfortunately none of these cards are in anyway topical EXCUSE ME! [9:52:01 PM] Hurry up! You have less than 10 seconds to decide, or you will be skipped. [9:52:01 PM] <+Lieutenant> *Will probably count this as his last round* [9:52:01 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Struggles to use a grammatically not-atrocious card. It's no good.* [9:52:01 PM] <Swerve> [also looks at Star's elgs] [9:52:02 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *He tried.* [9:52:04 PM] <Slendy> *Is, apparently, the only one NOT looking at the leg.* [9:52:08 PM] <rodicron> Hey, my optics are bad. Feeling things out makes things way clearer. [9:52:26 PM] <Slendy> [[Do not put your claws where they are unwanted. This is not that kind of club.]] [9:52:29 PM] <Kingscream> I advise you to keep your hands to yourself. [9:52:29 PM] <VProwl> @S «....... You're correct.» [9:52:32 PM] <rodicron> ... yo, what's a Spark Extractor? [9:52:35 PM] VProwl wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds.

(for reference, Prowl’s winning card:)

[9:52:44 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> It sounds like it extracts sparks. [9:52:45 PM] <Slendy> @P: [[So he is.]] [9:52:46 PM] <Swerve> Man your legs get around. [9:52:51 PM] <+Lieutenant> ((Night everyone! )) [9:52:55 PM] <rodicron> Yeah, but where do you /get/ one. [9:52:57 PM] <Slendy> ((night! thanm you for coming!)) [9:53:02 PM] Lieutenant has left the game. [9:53:07 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> If I knew? I wouldn't tell you. [9:53:22 PM] <VProwl> *spent a blank card on that and regrets nothing* [9:53:25 PM] <Slendy> [[You don't. It was used up.]] [9:53:31 PM] <Slendy> *It was the best blank card he's seen in ages.* [9:53:40 PM] <Kingscream> ((fghjk [9:53:41 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> In at least one dimension. There are others. [9:53:47 PM] <asksmokescreen> Hmmmm [9:53:50 PM] <Slendy> [[....He's sorry, First Aid's what.]] [9:53:51 PM] <asksmokescreen> This is a tough one [9:53:58 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Can you not read? [9:54:01 PM] <asksmokescreen> Mostly 'cause I don't know what a webworld is! [9:54:05 PM] <Swerve> Oh, they're a medical aid. [9:54:05 PM] <asksmokescreen> I can read! Rude! [9:54:07 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> It says nipple clamps, quite clearly. [9:54:15 PM] Kingscream wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:54:23 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Calm down, I'm picking on Soundwave. [9:54:24 PM] <rodicron> So like... do those go on the headlights or what? [9:54:26 PM] <Slendy> [[He can. He's surprised by how many Autobots have a thing for organics. But not as surprised as he should be.]] [9:54:35 PM] <Swerve> He uses them to jumpstart sparks! [9:54:45 PM] <Slendy> [[Nonsense. Humans do not have sparks.]] [9:54:46 PM] <rodicron> Jumpstart sparks is RIGHT. [9:55:03 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Sounds a lot more practical than what I was thinking. [9:55:13 PM] <Kingscream> ((aaaugh im sorry i got things on discord distracting me, i gotta duck out [9:55:14 PM] <Swerve> Aid uses them to do that. He revived Fort Max with them. [9:55:16 PM] <Kingscream> ((Thanks ofr hosting [9:55:20 PM] <Slendy> ((awww okay, byeeee)) [9:55:24 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> (( Byyyye! )) [9:55:27 PM] <VProwl> ((you're breaking prowl's spark)) [9:55:30 PM] <rodicron> They could be practical. You just gotta hang stuff off 'm. [9:55:36 PM] rodicron wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:56:07 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Like pasties. [9:56:12 PM] <Slendy> [[Oh. He supposes there were worse people to revive, then.]] [9:56:22 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> The kind with the tassels. [9:56:26 PM] <rodicron> Like those smelly dangle things that humans put in their cars. [9:56:27 PM] <Slendy> *Knows which card HE'D pick.* [9:56:33 PM] <rodicron> Hang those off your headlights. [9:56:41 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> No. [9:56:45 PM] <rodicron> Yep. [9:56:48 PM] The Card Czar has left the game. Cards played this round are being returned to hands. [9:56:48 PM] The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:56:48 PM] (Displayed state will look weird until the next round.) [9:56:48 PM] Kingscream has left the game. [9:56:49 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> No, [9:56:55 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I refuse. [9:57:01 PM] <Slendy> [[Hm. Must have had important political business.]] [9:57:02 PM] <VProwl> *... just received a solid gold card.* [9:57:03 PM] <rodicron> Yes. [9:57:05 PM] <rodicron> Absolutely. [9:57:08 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> No. [9:57:09 PM] <rodicron> You can't deny it. [9:57:12 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I have no headlights. [9:57:13 PM] <rodicron> It's happening. [9:57:16 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> So no. [9:57:16 PM] <rodicron> Someone is gonna do it. [9:57:25 PM] <Slendy> *Soundwave pats Prowl's knee under the table.* @P: [[Another time. You know you have him now.]] [9:57:40 PM] <rodicron> Or your cockpit. [9:57:48 PM] <rodicron> In your cockpit? [9:57:48 PM] <VProwl> *Starscream LEFT. he gave prowl THAT LOOK and then he LEFT* [9:58:02 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Why would I do that? [9:58:12 PM] <Slendy> *He's playing hard to get. That's clearly it. It's a Starscream thing to do.* [9:58:23 PM] asksmokescreen wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:58:29 PM] <VProwl> @S «Do I? Or is he just going to tease me and run before I can retaliate.» [9:58:34 PM] <rodicron> The other good one triggers me. [9:58:38 PM] <rodicron> Kinda. [9:58:50 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> This should be fun. [9:58:53 PM] <rodicron> Been there, done that, didn't like where it ended or what it did to all my friends and me. [9:59:07 PM] <asksmokescreen> Oooh, I'm doing good this game! [9:59:17 PM] <rodicron> ... what's FIBRIR [9:59:25 PM] <Slendy> @P: [[Both. It's his way.]] [9:59:33 PM] <Swerve> Frenzy is Blue, Rumbis is Red. [9:59:34 PM] <Swerve> I think [9:59:34 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Google that shit. [9:59:38 PM] <Slendy> [[It's true. No one calls him any of these things.]] [9:59:38 PM] <rodicron> Oh. [9:59:42 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Google confirms. [9:59:46 PM] <rodicron> Don't they like switch their paintjobs tho'? [9:59:46 PM] VProwl wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [9:59:56 PM] <rodicron> That's what I'd do if I were a twin. [10:00:00 PM] <asksmokescreen> Frumble is Blue, Rumzy is red! [10:00:11 PM] <VProwl> *prowl's too emotionally devastated to be the card czar* [10:00:14 PM] <Slendy> [[Nonsense. Rumble's original color is orange and Frenzy's is green.]] [10:00:27 PM] <VProwl> ... Is that true? [10:00:36 PM] rodicron wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:00:42 PM] <Swerve> Really? [10:00:53 PM] <rodicron> Well, least that'd make 'm easy to see. [10:00:53 PM] <Slendy> [[Not in the slightest.]] [10:01:34 PM] <VProwl> I didn't' think so. [10:01:36 PM] <rodicron> Like how humans put their babies in brightly coloured clothing so they know where they are at all times. [10:02:01 PM] <VProwl> *he'd better win this round.* [10:02:05 PM] <rodicron> Because taping a radio to your kid is apparently illegal or something. [10:02:10 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I think the constant screaming gives them away. [10:02:15 PM] <Slendy> *...But there already IS a playset of two of those things...* [10:02:30 PM] <rodicron> Yeah, but you gotta find him when they're NOT screaming. That's the trick. [10:02:37 PM] <rodicron> Screaming means they're still alive. [10:02:43 PM] The Card Czar has taken too long to decide and has been skipped. Cards played this round are being returned to hands. [10:02:53 PM] <Swerve> Aw [10:02:57 PM] <Slendy> ((DAMN IT i picked it give the damn point)) [10:03:04 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Why are you looking for dead babies? [10:03:10 PM] <rodicron> Almost dead-babies. [10:03:11 PM] <Swerve> ((good job cah)) [10:03:26 PM] <Slendy> ((whoever had "my backup conjunx endura" you had it)) [10:03:28 PM] <rodicron> I'd be a terrible carrier. [10:03:43 PM] Slendy was kicked for being idle for too many rounds. [10:03:43 PM] Slendy has left the game. [10:03:45 PM] <asksmokescreen> Appease meeee [10:03:48 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> (( I have at least three cards I've already played in my deck lololol. )) [10:03:51 PM] VProwl wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:03:52 PM] Slendy has joined the game. [10:03:52 PM] <Swerve> ((lmao that was mine)) [10:03:53 PM] <rodicron> ... well, there goes the host. [10:03:56 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... Oh [10:04:04 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> (( Wowee CAH is really having a go at us tonight. )) [10:04:06 PM] <Slendy> ((ARRRRGH my points)) [10:04:13 PM] <asksmokescreen> ((rip [10:04:17 PM] <VProwl> ((f)) [10:04:21 PM] <Swerve> ((rip [10:04:30 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> (( they will be missed. )) [10:04:36 PM] asksmokescreen wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:04:43 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Only one of those rhymed. [10:04:54 PM] <Slendy> ((friggin ding dang game stole my points)) [10:05:10 PM] <Swerve> ((it did [10:05:34 PM] <Slendy> ((and now it won't let me see a chat)) [10:05:39 PM] VProwl wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:05:48 PM] <VProwl> ((you can't see us?)) [10:05:52 PM] <rodicron> MORE CURLY STRAWS [10:05:54 PM] <VProwl> ((....... wait why am i asking)) [10:05:57 PM] <rodicron> oh, crap, sorry. [10:06:00 PM] <rodicron> More curly straws! [10:06:03 PM] <Swerve> ((tfdhgbfg [10:06:05 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Better. [10:06:25 PM] <rodicron> I try. [10:06:28 PM] <rodicron> Sometimes. [10:06:34 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *He pauses to play Flight Rising while y'all pick cards.* [10:06:39 PM] VProwl wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:06:42 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Gun. [10:06:43 PM] <rodicron> g u n [10:06:50 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I know what I'm about. [10:06:54 PM] <Slendy> *Apparently, abruptly bridges in and out of the room with a loud vent rattle.* [10:07:07 PM] <VProwl> *glances at* Everything alright? [10:07:11 PM] <Slendy> *...Calmly and casually smooths his armor down and dusts off invisible dirt once he reappears.* [10:07:14 PM] <rodicron> ... wow, whatever's going on with that guy looks uncomfortable. [10:07:24 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> That was dramatic. [10:07:31 PM] <Slendy> [[A glitch. Pay it no mind.]] [10:07:38 PM] <VProwl> *... quietly pets arm* [10:07:40 PM] <Swerve> Do you need a moment [10:07:58 PM] <rodicron> Or maybe he needs that last card. [10:07:59 PM] WindchillhasFeet wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:08:00 PM] <Slendy> [[No, no, he's fine.]] *Leans into the pets.* [10:08:28 PM] <Slendy> [[...He knows and he isn't telling any of you.]] [10:08:38 PM] asksmokescreen wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:08:39 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *He is forced to pick the only grammatically correct card in his hand.* [10:08:47 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Nice. [10:08:51 PM] <rodicron> Me not doing the thing is always applicable. [10:08:53 PM] <asksmokescreen> Soundwave, I've always loved you [10:08:58 PM] <rodicron> I love doing things. [10:08:59 PM] <Slendy> [[WHAT.]] [10:09:04 PM] <asksmokescreen> You gave me a point! [10:09:09 PM] <Swerve> [chokes] [10:09:15 PM] <rodicron> Awww. [10:09:20 PM] <rodicron> Young love. [10:09:24 PM] <asksmokescreen> Wait, no [10:09:25 PM] <rodicron> Or old love. [10:09:28 PM] <asksmokescreen> No, no, I was kidding! [10:09:32 PM] <Slendy> [[You had better be.]] [10:09:32 PM] <rodicron> Hard to tell with you round-framers. [10:09:43 PM] rodicron wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:09:47 PM] <VProwl> *... pets his arm some more.* [10:09:49 PM] <Swerve> I dunno, he's more noodle than round. [10:09:50 PM] <rodicron> Ha ha! [10:09:52 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Yeah, okay. [10:09:55 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... What, I can't be a fan of you, Soundwave? [10:09:55 PM] <rodicron> Noodles are round. [10:10:15 PM] Slendy wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:10:25 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... Phase 6 isn't awesome in theory who put that down [10:10:40 PM] <rodicron> I'd love to have six alts. That sounds rad. [10:10:43 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Uh, wasn't me. [10:10:46 PM] <asksmokescreen> That's... That's not [10:10:47 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> No idea what that is. [10:10:47 PM] <rodicron> Two of them would be giant fists. [10:10:51 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> And you know what? [10:10:55 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I'm okay with that. [10:10:55 PM] <Slendy> *...Is curious about the arm petting. ... Pets an arm back?* [10:11:03 PM] asksmokescreen wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:11:07 PM] <rodicron> Yeah. [10:11:10 PM] <rodicron> Not [10:11:11 PM] Play 3 cards, in the order you wish them to be judged. [10:11:14 PM] <rodicron> gonna talk about this one. [10:11:15 PM] <VProwl> *... affection ping.* [10:11:20 PM] <asksmokescreen> I. I was throwing away a card [10:11:22 PM] <VProwl> *oooh film noir* [10:11:43 PM] <Swerve> ((me, remembering the hot rod/rodimus x daniel fics i've seen [10:11:51 PM] <Slendy> [[You can be a fan of him. He can't stop you; Primus knows he tried. But he has no interest in dating you, Smokescreen.]] *oooh, affection ping. Three back. Good.* [10:11:55 PM] <rodicron> o h [10:12:06 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Steeples talons.* [10:12:10 PM] <VProwl> *ping ping.* [10:12:46 PM] <asksmokescreen> I mean- I don't wanna date you, either. But I'm glad we're friends. [10:12:54 PM] Swerve wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:13:04 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Kawaii. [10:13:05 PM] <rodicron> I dunno about ya'll, but the Kiss Players universe sounds like a party. Uncle won't let anyone go there, sure, but it sounds weird. [10:13:21 PM] <Slendy> [[His alternate's laugh is not cute. It is unnerving, as it should be.]] [10:13:31 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> It's kawaii. [10:13:35 PM] <VProwl> *grimaces* I get to judge the card that says the Decepticon cause was noble? [10:13:37 PM] <Swerve> I mean. POtato, pohtato. [10:13:39 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> The cards are never wrong. [10:13:52 PM] <Slendy> [[Pretend you're him.]] [10:14:05 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Pretend you're not a functionist. [10:14:11 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Just for a few moments. [10:14:16 PM] <rodicron> Pretend you never had money. [10:14:17 PM] <Slendy> *Tiny bristle.* [10:14:43 PM] Hurry up! You have less than 10 seconds to decide, or you will be skipped. [10:14:47 PM] Swerve wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:14:52 PM] <VProwl> *... puts a hologram triangle shaped vaguely like soundwave's mask in front of his face.* [10:14:59 PM] <VProwl> *chooses a card at random because he can't see them.* [10:15:05 PM] <rodicron> Also, pretty sure Lubricant was a base part of the Autobots. I bet Optimus was into some weird stuff. [10:15:21 PM] <Slendy> *Decides to respond by placing Prowl's face on his own screen. Can, however, still see through it.* [10:15:41 PM] <rodicron> Aw, couple cosplaying. [10:15:54 PM] VProwl wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:15:55 PM] <VProwl> *drops the holo-mask; immediately snorts. soundwave plz.* [10:15:58 PM] <Swerve> Couple cosplay of each other? [10:16:02 PM] <Slendy> [[Drift, however, was a close second.]] [10:16:07 PM] <rodicron> I'm sure people do that. [10:16:10 PM] <asksmokescreen> Oh, man, we've got a three way going on now points-wise [10:16:10 PM] <rodicron> Relationships are weird. [10:16:12 PM] <Slendy> *Drops his own mask.* [10:16:27 PM] <Slendy> *The fake one. Not his actual one. He's still back to the full visor right now.* [10:16:37 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Has no idea what any of his cards mean. That's okay.* [10:16:40 PM] <VProwl> *which prowl has been meaning to ask about.* [10:16:44 PM] rodicron wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:16:58 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Prepare to be eaten. [10:17:01 PM] <Slendy> *Checks the scores. .... Tense.* [10:17:05 PM] <rodicron> Kinky. [10:17:19 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I'll do it. [10:17:23 PM] <rodicron> Please do. [10:17:25 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Don't think that I won't. [10:17:30 PM] WindchillhasFeet wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:17:31 PM] <rodicron> I'm right here. [10:17:40 PM] <Swerve> How did you know about the pole [10:17:45 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> You have to win first. [10:17:50 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I took a wild guess. [10:17:52 PM] <rodicron> Swerve, everyone knows about the pole. [10:18:01 PM] <asksmokescreen> Who's Carl [10:18:04 PM] <Swerve> No they don't, it's in the backroom. [10:18:06 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Call it intuition. [10:18:07 PM] <rodicron> Your mom. [10:18:07 PM] <Slendy> *Does not know about the pole. Does not say this.* [10:18:34 PM] <rodicron> I got lots of poles stashed places too, buddy. [10:18:35 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Is there really a pole, though? [10:18:39 PM] asksmokescreen wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [10:18:41 PM] <asksmokescreen> YAY [10:18:42 PM] <rodicron> Hehehe. [10:18:44 PM] <Swerve> I mean, yes. [10:18:49 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Well, you know what that means. [10:18:54 PM] <asksmokescreen> I'm the winner now! So- I get one of those stars, right? [10:18:55 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... Wait [10:19:00 PM] <asksmokescreen> Wait, I don't wanna be eaten [10:19:04 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Licks his lips grossly.* [10:19:05 PM] <Slendy> *Ravage SMILES.* [10:19:09 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Then why did you win? [10:19:11 PM] <rodicron> Y'can have a star, tho'. [10:19:14 PM] <asksmokescreen> I didn't mean to! [10:19:18 PM] <asksmokescreen> I'm just too funny, I guess. [10:19:20 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Cackles.* [10:19:27 PM] <asksmokescreen> Come on, I taste bad. [10:19:37 PM] <asksmokescreen> Soundwave? Can you, uh, help me? [10:19:45 PM] <Slendy> *And slooooowly creeps across the table with his mouth open as wide as it can go. Which is, in fact, wide enough to bite on a bot's head.* [10:19:51 PM] <Swerve> He doesn't bathe, do you really wanna eat him [10:19:58 PM] <asksmokescreen> *BEEPS* [10:19:59 PM] <Slendy> =I've eaten worse.= [10:20:06 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> He can't be any grosser than my mouth already is. [10:20:09 PM] <asksmokescreen> *He's getting behind the couch* [10:20:15 PM] <asksmokescreen> I'll phase myself into the couch [10:20:22 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Stands up. He's on approach.* [10:20:27 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Come on, don't be like that. [10:20:33 PM] <Slendy> [[Ravage, you're scattering the cards.]] [10:20:40 PM] <asksmokescreen> ... Swerve? Can you help me? [10:20:55 PM] <Slendy> *Ravage sits, closes his mouth, and pouts.* =But it was funny.= [10:20:58 PM] rodicron has left the game. [10:21:01 PM] <asksmokescreen> *Running to hide behind Swerve either way!* [10:21:10 PM] <Swerve> [snorts] [10:21:15 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Puts his hands on his hips.* [10:21:16 PM] <Swerve> I'll trade a box of scraps? [10:21:18 PM] <Slendy> [[Smokescreen, flee before he holds you to your word. Everyone else - he should clean this up.]] [10:21:34 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> So we should all flee? [10:21:48 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> I'm down with that. [10:21:48 PM] <asksmokescreen> Can do! I'm a pretty fast runner! Thank you for having us, Soundwave! [10:21:55 PM] <Slendy> [[Unless you wish to be bridged to the trash incinerator or devoured by Ravage, yes, probably.]] [10:22:00 PM] <Slendy> [[Quite welcome, Smokescreen.]] [10:22:04 PM] <asksmokescreen> *Smokescreen is running to the bridge as fast as he can!* [10:22:19 PM] <Swerve> Bye Smokes. Later everyone. [10:22:23 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Forgets about eating Smokescreen and gathers up the cards within reach, at least.* [10:22:58 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Sounds like a plan. [10:22:58 PM] <Slendy> *Ravage makes a point of creeping towards that gathering hand* [10:23:21 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Squints. His mouth is bigger.* [10:23:36 PM] <Slendy> *And Soundwave will murder Windchill horribly if he tries biting the deployer.* [10:23:58 PM] asksmokescreen has left the game. [10:24:03 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *And nothing of value would be lost.* [10:24:13 PM] Swerve has left the game. [10:24:19 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Guess we'll have to eat Smokescreen next time. [10:24:20 PM] <Slendy> *Fair, but it probably would put a damper on a fun evening.* [10:24:26 PM] <Slendy> [[Yes, you shall.]] [10:24:36 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Don't let me forget. [10:24:44 PM] <Slendy> [[He won't. It'll amuse him.]] [10:24:51 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> *Okay, he's don't with the cards now.* [10:24:54 PM] <WindchillhasFeet> Byeeeee. [10:24:59 PM] <Slendy> [[Farewell.]] [10:25:45 PM] <VProwl> *they alone? yes? okay good.* [10:25:49 PM] <VProwl> You switched back to your full mask. [10:26:33 PM] WindchillhasFeet has left the game. [10:26:39 PM] <Slendy> [[That was the fastest they've ever disappeared. He should have used the threat of mechannibalism soone-- oh.]] *Lifts a hand. Touches his mask.* [[Yes. He did.]] [10:26:59 PM] <Slendy> *That is a fascinating floor, that's what that is. Boy, look at it doing its floor thing.* [10:27:11 PM] <VProwl> ... Is everything alright? [10:28:00 PM] <Slendy> [[...He doesn't know.]] [10:28:41 PM] <VProwl> *that's even worse than a "no."* ... Do you want to talk about it? [10:29:45 PM] <Slendy> *Soundwave's attention moves from the floor to a chair, and then to his hands. After a moment, it goes back to the floor, but his hands twitch.* [[He should.]] [10:30:10 PM] <Slendy> *Drops the cards on the table and gets up to move to... wherever their usual couch is now. There it is. That's more comfy, somehow.* [10:30:19 PM] <Slendy> *Ping. Join him?* [10:30:50 PM] <VProwl> *joins. sits. offers hand? not sure if this is a thing where soundwave will need a hand.* [10:32:24 PM] <Slendy> *He takes it, but mostly to fiddle with Prowl's fingertips. A distraction, not a comfort. He needs to keep too much focus used up on that to stop from thinking back too far.* [10:33:41 PM] <VProwl> *whatever it's useful for. ... that kinda feels nice actually.* [10:33:41 PM] <Slendy> [[It really is different. His mouth.]] *Press fingertip.* [[Not a trend. Not common. Not friendly.]] [10:35:11 PM] <VProwl> *someone, somewhere, said something rude about soundwave's mouth, and prowl automatically hates them.* ... It IS different. It's not bad. [10:36:55 PM] <Slendy> [[He doesn't think it is good. He never sees anything like it on good... beings. Mechs, or beasts. Or aliens.]] [10:38:15 PM] <Slendy> [[He recognizes that xenomorphs are not appealing creatures to most beings. And that most who wore fangs during the war were skilled killers.]] *And that a certain Insecticon does, which he won't say. [10:38:29 PM] <VProwl> *skeptically* You think there's a causal relationship between your teeth shape and your morality? [10:40:49 PM] <Slendy> [[He doesn't know. He never - the only creatures with mouths like his are widely considered monsters.]] *Pause. Quieter:* [[Even the ones who are supposed to be heroes.]] [10:41:36 PM] <Slendy> [[And he knows who he has been. It is hard to ignore the possibility.]] [10:41:57 PM] <VProwl> *oh. this is about the movie.* ... He saved a planet he was sent to destroy. [10:42:37 PM] <Slendy> [[Only because he liked his - host.]] [10:45:24 PM] <VProwl> And through him, recognized the worth of the species and decided he wanted the planet to be protected. So he and his mouth protected it. [10:48:04 PM] <Slendy> [[And stayed in the host's head after doing things that--]] *The energy behind that sentence starts out as a heated reply and quickly crumbles and falls apart. He doesn't want to remind Prowl again.* [10:48:48 PM] <Slendy> [[After everything.]] [10:50:41 PM] <VProwl> ... By the end, his host wanted him there. He liked him. It started out as an invasion, but—it wasn't one by the end. [10:56:38 PM] <Slendy> [[But it did happen. It is always going to be something that happened. And it is - like that, too. Him. And - others, without the good ending.]] *Distraction intensifies.* [[There is so much--]] [10:57:02 PM] <Slendy> [[He does not know how you can look.]] [10:57:58 PM] <VProwl> Wh-- Look at what, /you/? I like looking at you. [10:58:41 PM] <VProwl> ... You think I don't want to look at you because your teeth superficially resemble the teeth of an alien whose unique biological abilities superficially resemble something bad that happened to me? [10:59:00 PM] <Slendy> [[Among other shared traits.]] [10:59:42 PM] <Slendy> [[You did not react well to it, and you do not react well to other superficial resemblances, and...]] [11:00:40 PM] <VProwl> Yeah no, your teeth are quite a few degrees removed from ANYthing that-- Take off your mask. Let me see your face. [11:02:19 PM] <Slendy> *He's still and quiet as death itself for a long, long moment, to the point that someone wouldn't be blamed for scanning to see if his spark had abruptly faded out.* [11:03:14 PM] <VProwl> *immediately deflates and looks away.* You don't have to. [11:03:25 PM] <Slendy> *But Prowl told him to do it, and Primus knows he has a hard time denying his amica anything. So off it goes, a little bit at a time.* [11:04:41 PM] <Slendy> *He is not, however, looking straight at Prowl for once.* [11:06:28 PM] <VProwl> You... *the protest dies. He only watches Soundwave from the corner of his optic, though, trying to leave him with SOME privacy after so rudely demanding he give it up.* [11:08:59 PM] <Slendy> *He sets it in Prowl's lap. That way, Prowl can decide whether it has to go back on or not, and he can't shrink away and put it on again on his own out of cowardice. He already feels too weak as is.* [11:10:18 PM] <VProwl> *he looks down at it, then gently transfers it from his lap to Soundwave's.* I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you to take it off when you didn't want to. [11:12:44 PM] <Slendy> [[He doesn't want to remind you of it.]] *An odd reply. More correction than protest or agreement.* [11:14:27 PM] <Slendy> *And possibly the quietest he's been all evening:* [[He doesn't want you to run away.]] [11:14:52 PM] <VProwl> You d— *shocked look* [11:16:46 PM] <VProwl> *... he leans in to give Soundwave a very light kiss.* I'm not running away. [11:20:44 PM] <Slendy> *Soundwave leans into that out of habit for a second. Then he's just kind of still.* [[Are you sure. You do not have to be - he does not want you to - to be an Autobot.]] *For lack of better [11:20:56 PM] <Slendy> description of what he's trying to say.* [[About it. If that's what it is.]] [11:22:59 PM] <VProwl> *Soundwave gets the most perplexed look. Give him a minute to work that out.* ... You... think I'm afraid of you but trying to be courageous? [11:23:11 PM] <Slendy> [[You would not be the first.]] [11:24:15 PM] <Slendy> *Or kind if it isn't meant. They do that, too.* [11:25:23 PM] <VProwl> *for the briefest moment, a look of pain flashes across Prowl's face. And then his expression smooths out again.* Tell me what I did to make you think I'm afraid of you, so I can never do it again. [11:28:22 PM] <Slendy> *He caught that. And now he knows. And regrets that he ever put that look there, however briefly.* [[...He's sorry. He shouldn't have doubted you.]] [11:30:05 PM] <VProwl> What did I do to /make/ you doubt me? *it's all well and good if Soundwave realizes he was wrong, but something gave him the idea in the first place. If it was anything Prowl can change...* [11:36:03 PM] <Slendy> [[Nothing. Not directly. It is - he observes. He sees similarities, and he - does not understand where the differences are, between him and them. Or why you do not do as others have done. He does not [11:36:39 PM] <Slendy> know and cannot see them. It is hard for him to believe anything he does not know or see or understand.]] [11:38:13 PM] <VProwl> There's no similarity. The only way to get from you to them is through a character in a movie that happens to share traits with you and traits with them. [11:38:32 PM] <VProwl> There's not a venn diagram between your face and what happened to me. There's a venn diagram between your face and venom and between venom and what happened to me. [11:39:31 PM] <VProwl> ... And you're taking action based on how you thought I felt instead of asking me how I felt, again. [11:43:28 PM] <Slendy> [[No, he-- it isn't--]] *Deflates.* [[He was--]] *Pulls his hands back.* [[He was /afraid/. It was - it felt safer not to ask. Then he didn't have to know. If he didn't ask, and it /was/ true, [11:43:45 PM] <Slendy> then he could - pretend it wasn't, a little longer.]] [11:47:17 PM] <VProwl> *He desperately wants to reach for Soundwave's hands again—not for Soundwave but for himself. But he's already toed the line on one boundary tonight, he's not going to stomp across another.* [11:48:37 PM] <VProwl> *instead he tucks his hands in his lap.* I— I don't know—what to do with that. I—wish you hadn't felt like that. [11:48:56 PM] <Slendy> [[He's sorry.]] *He just didn't want Prowl to go.* [[He's sorry. He is. You only tell him the truth. You are - good, to him. He knows that. He shouldn't have doubted. He should have asked.]] [11:49:31 PM] <VProwl> I don't know how to reassure you that I don't feel the things you're afraid I feel when I don't know you fear them. I— All this because of a movie? [11:50:03 PM] <VProwl> *was this his fault? Soundwave said it wasn't, but if Prowl hadn't talked about Bombshell...* [11:53:59 PM] <Slendy> [[It is not your fault. It is his fault. He was - he has been weak, in many ways. Is, still. He should not have let that weakness take control of him over this - this movie, yes. He apologizes.]] [11:54:55 PM] <VProwl> *a tiny nod* ... How can I help? [11:55:05 PM] <Slendy> *He'll make one small reach for the hands in Prowl's lap, but not so invasively Prowl can't make it clear what he wants one way or another.* [11:56:56 PM] <VProwl> *oh thank god. seizes Soundwave's hands and squeezes tight.* [12:01:18 AM] <Slendy> [[...Do not turn back in fear from what we have been able to share because of this failure. Continue to tell him the truth. That is all the help he will ask. [12:01:47 AM] <Slendy> He will work to destroy his weakness in time. That is his to do.]] [12:03:29 AM] <VProwl> *what they've been able to share? what did they share besides some mutual panic and pain? they spent this evening fighting just to get back to status quo, they certainly didn't gain anything.* [12:04:11 AM] <Slendy> *He means he doesn't want Prowl to suddenly stop talking about painful things or upsetting things or personal things, or ANY things.* [12:04:51 AM] <VProwl> *yeah, prowl talking about things, which led to some mutual panic and pain.* [12:05:05 AM] <Slendy> *Which will pass in time.* [12:05:07 AM] <VProwl> *he doesn't indicate any assent to soundwave's request.* [12:05:19 AM] <Slendy> [[...Prowl?]] [12:06:45 AM] <VProwl> *squeezes Soundwave's hands.* We should recharge. [12:06:56 AM] <Slendy> [[...Please. Don't run away. Not now.]] [12:07:41 AM] <VProwl> I'm right here. [12:12:00 AM] <Slendy> [[Not physically. From - from talking. Don't let it push you back to keeping everything important to you sil--]] *He squeezes back and shakes his head.* [[You want to recharge. Let us go do that.]] [12:12:59 AM] <VProwl> *nods; stands.* [12:13:15 AM] <VProwl> *off to sleep* [12:14:00 AM] <Slendy> *And the same, albeit wishing he'd put his mask back on. He doesn't want Prowl to see the crack in his spark.*
