Behold! The reason I've been missing for months! Chapter one of it, anyway.
The Cop and the Cryptid (Chapter 1)
Prowl: the rational skeptic with a history in crime scene investigation. Mesothulas: the wide-eyed believer who’s mastered—or at least dabbled in—every field of science under the sun. Together, they’re Iacon’s leading paranormal investigators. … With a few twists.
Twist #1: Both are stone cold skeptics, with Mesothulas only playing the believer for their clients—allowing them to become wildly successful as paranormal debunkers. Twist #2: They don’t quite disbelieve in everything; they both know more than they’d let on about the Iaconian Spindleback, a local cryptid with an eight-legged alt-mode. Twist #3: They’re about to learn that there are more true paranormal things on Cybertron than just the Spindleback.
Continuity: IDW1 Transformers (pre-war era in a no-war AU) Relationship: Prowl/Mesothulas or Prowl/Tarantulas (pre-established relationship!! with flashbacks to how they hooked up) Content Tags: Paranormal Investigator AU; Supernatural elements; Pre-war; No-war AU; Episodic stories; Established relationship; Fluff; Fade-to-black (no on-screen interfacing); Ghosts; Neurodivergent characters; Happy ending; More tags added as relevant in future chapters Wordcount: Finished wordcount will be approx 130k; this chapter is 12k Notes: This was written for the @tfbigbang event. Check out all the other great works that have gone up so far! Writers and artists were paired together—writers wrote fanfics and artists contributed fanart based on the fics—so I’ll be linking my artists’ works once they’re up. I’ll be posting one 10k-word chapter per week, each Friday, until the whole fic is posted. Follow me on tumblr or AO3 to keep up with updates!

((”hey mun where have you been for the last uhhhhhh ever”
I’ve been writing a Prowl & Mesothulas: Paranormal Investigators AU, that’s what!!!!
... and also uh hyperfocusing on the new godzilla movie. i ship a three-headed space dragon with a flying fire dinosaur now?? i don’t know how this happened bUT
Mainly the “writing a paranormal investigators AU” thing!!!
It’s being written as part of the TF Big Bang, which is where a whole bunch of people write fanfics and a whole bunch of other people do fanart for them and then it’s all published/posted at roughly the same time. So I’m telling you all this so that you know, 1) I’ve been scarce because I’m working on a long fanfic with a deadline, and 2) I’m not dead. And also 3) keep an eye out for that when it’s published because it’s Gonna Be Cool.
“Oh that’s cool so when are you gonna come back to RPing beyond chat logs from movie nights—” I dunno byeee!))

Mathematicians have constructed a very large number of different systems of geometry, Euclidean or non-Euclidean, of one, two, three, or any number of dimensions. All these systems are of complete and equal validity. They embody the results of mathematicians’ observations of their reality, a reality far more intense and far more rigid than the dubious and elusive reality of physics. The old-fashioned geometry of Euclid, the entertaining seven-point geometry of Veblen, the space-times of Minkowski and Einstein, are all absolutely and equally real.
G. H. Hardy

i found out in June 1999, a 209-piece puzzle called “Eternity” was marketed as being practically unsolvable and whoever could solve it within four years will win  £1 million. By October 2000, the prize was claimed by two mathematicians from Cambridge. (x)

June 10 Dancitron Movie Night - Halloween (2018)
Soundwave is in trouble with the Iacon police. Not for accidentally owning a deployer in stasis for seven years. For illegally planting a seed in the crystal gardens. His punishment is community service.
Prowl is slightly disappointed in Soundwave, but mostly thinks the ankle tracker is overkill.
Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:19 PM After attacking the video wall with a repair kit for the better part of an hour, Soundwave finally gets a passable signal to come through. He hopes this is an entertaining film, because otherwise he's going to fill out a whole lot of reports with a lot more iciness than is strictly necessary or pleasant to read. For now, he'll just park himself on the couch and wait. jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 8:22 PM ((when you accept a friend invite from someone you were playing overwatch with, only to find out their like 12 and beg you turn rejoin the game after 9)) Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:22 PM And Prowl will park himself right next to Soundwave. He is pleased to see that Soundwave isn't under arrest. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:23 PM ((aww))
Soundwave is not under arrest, no. He's not a particularly happy camper, but he is, at least, not in jail. That ups his mood by about 5000% from where it could've been. He is going to lean on Prowl straight away and lift his leg. Look. Look at this leg, Prowl. Do you see. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:26 PM ... He sees a leg. His mun, however, is not certain what Prowl should be observing about it. Besides its beauty. He's DEFINITELY observing its beauty though. Soundwave is welcome to demonstrate his leg to Prowl any time he wants. jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 8:27 PM Jazz is wandering in and also curious about the raised leg Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:29 PM There is a THING on that leg. A thing that does not belong there, and has never been there in the whole time either of those mechs has known him. It is ugly, and clunky, and anyone who's had anything to do with the law for more than half an hour should know what it is.
He's gotten in trouble. There is a tracker on him. It's horrible. jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 8:30 PM ((I'll try and keep up with chat, but don't know if I'll watch the movie. Got an ocular migraine starting)) Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:30 PM There'sa predacon carefully poking her head in and ppering around. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:30 PM ((no problem. if you can't stay with chat don't force yourself to do that either; don't screw around with migraines)) He lowers his leg to nod to the Predacon queen. It's been a while. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:30 PM Prowl is stunned, crestfallen, and devastated, in roughly that sequence. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:31 PM ((hello, rabbit still isn't working for me, hope its okay to peek in)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:31 PM ((five minutes til start, we're goin quick tonight on account of lateness - and ye it's fine)) Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:31 PM [Rabbit is forever a butt] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:31 PM ((am i the only one here who's gonna see the movie)) Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 8:31 PM ((possibly)) KwehToday at 8:31 PM ((I am! jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 8:31 PM ((I get them often enough that it's more annoyance than anything. What sort of moovie is this?)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:31 PM ((halloween (2018) )) ((with all that implies)) KwehToday at 8:32 PM ((will decide on a character once I'm done crying about Lea Salonga's beautiful voice Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:32 PM ((IT'S ME AND KWEH, THE LONE AUDIENCE)) Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:32 PM ((I'm hopfully getting much better internet in a few weeks or month)) Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:32 PM [Blaster has rabbit open beside me, but I've got Fringe on while sewing. jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 8:32 PM Jazz snickers a bit. "What ya do to get in trouble, wave?" Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:32 PM ((better internet! good luck!)) Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:33 PM [I'm always here for the company. :blue_heart: Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:33 PM Soundwave doesn't need to look at Prowl to know that's the sequence of emotions he just experienced. He knows what a stickler for the law Prowl is. He knows how he's disappointed the mech. There is shame. Shame! ... But not too much shame. Just a little. A scrap.
[[He decided to tell an officer of the law about something reprehensible but unintentional and came away with this.]] jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 8:33 PM ((I know nothing about this movie. Is it more like Halloween town or horror?)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:33 PM ((horror. lots of horror.)) Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:34 PM Ice Quuen carefully settles herself and looks...happyp tired, keeps her wings closed for now, not sure to 'realease the non scary beasties.' Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:34 PM Is this Prowl's fault. Did they arrest him because he didn't know a Minicon was on his shelf. This is an abhorrent miscarriage of justice but what can he do about it?? He can't possibly get involved without implicitly abusing his authority. This is a travesty. A tragedy. Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 8:34 PM ((so much horror Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:34 PM [Horr-or jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 8:34 PM ((Ah. Nope, nope. Not even leaving it open to listen along.)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:35 PM [[Fortunately, bail was low and he can spend some time cleaning up the Praxus gardens as penance. Still. He doesn't like anyone knowing where he is.]] Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:35 PM ((horror? eep)) Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:35 PM He sends Soundwave a couple of apology pings and takes his hand. He's so sorry. This is his fault. How could they be so cruel to Soundwave. Well, he knows how. But WHY. It's unforgivable. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:36 PM Soundwave tilts his head and looks at the hand, slightly confused. What's Prowl apologizing for? But a hand is a hand. He'll snatch it up and lace their fingers together. It's them against the world of horrible, horrible other cops. ProwlToday at 8:36 PM It's fine, the abhorrent miscarrier of justice finally decided it was time to visit Dancitron again. Getting over awkward offenses is easy once you've slapped a tracker on them! Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:37 PM Fiend! Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:37 PM Is there still a peeking Predacon at the door? She might get picked up on the way in. Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 8:37 PM Oh for the love of....well. No, don't do things like that. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:38 PM "... Is community service and a tracker the only punishment you came away with?" Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:38 PM [Also, hiiii Icy!] Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:38 PM The predacon was just entering with a hatching or two under her wings trying to peek out. ((hiii!!)) Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:40 PM No pick up then unless the smalls want uppies. [Nice to see ya around. :3 Still chatting with Fatala/Jeanne?] Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:40 PM [[Yes. They couldn't find any reason to give him a harsher punishment for planting a seed in a garden without permission.]] Hmph. Looking at his own world's Prowl. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:40 PM Prowl blinked. "... What?" Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:40 PM ((off and on, she seems to be really busy)) ProwlToday at 8:40 PM Prowl does not address Soundwave or the Captain for the time being and takes a seat at one of the empty tables. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:42 PM If he can pick up Icy, there will be several intresting sounds no one has heard from her since she was a hatchling. and the tinies would be THRIILLED. Icy? confused as hell but won't bite. Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:42 PM [The work stuff of insurance and con prep for next month is prolly keeping her very busy.] Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:42 PM Soundwave waves his unoccupied hand. [[Someone noticed the Harmonex tower seed growing in the Praxus gardens. He couldn't deny it. What if they'd decided to tear it out?]] Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:42 PM ((yeah, she was going to commistion me bor a themed catcher set but had to stop it)) Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:42 PM "Oh! Then—the punishment isn't for the deployer?" Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:43 PM Primus can pick up anyone. All a matter if she'd want to be raised up like a trophy for the sake of fun. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:43 PM ((also i am sorry ahead of time for what stuttering/desyncing there is; i'm having to stream this from browser instead of through theirs because rabbit and vudu don't get along)) Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:43 PM Swoop drags his very banged up self through the front door, chirping and looking around. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:43 PM [[What? No. No, she was quite sensible about that.]] jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 8:43 PM Jazz is considering offering to help spoof the tracker so that Soundwave can make it look like he's wherever he should be, but given the number of Prowls present he'd probably get in trouble for offering. Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:43 PM [Aw. Your dreamcatchers are very pretty.] Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:43 PM That's what private comms are for, Jazz. ... Also, you assume he didn't already consider that. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:43 PM ((also please do pick Icy up, she still has no idea who Primus really is, primus. just that mech that played with her hatchlings)) Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:44 PM Swoop hops, skips, limps, and skitters about. "Bird?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:44 PM [[Greetings, those who have entered lately.]] At Swoop and Primus and others. [[No, no Bird tonight. Next week, perhaps.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:44 PM Swoop deflated, going so far as to stick is sad lil lower lip out at Soundwave. ((I love this theme song. It just gets me pumped every time.)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:45 PM ((hell yeah)) [[Did you think it was about the deployer? Is that - is that why you apologized?]] Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:46 PM VICTORY FOR VEGET- Wrong character. Icy is going to go UP. "Hi." Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:46 PM "Oh. Good, that's—that's good." He paused. "They put a TRACKER on you for unauthorized gardening??" jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 8:47 PM "For a seedlin'? Is it considered an invasive species there, or somethin'?" Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 8:47 PM Quick nod to his alternate. Then going to prod at Primus. "Seriously?!" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:47 PM [[It's from one city and he placed it in another. So, yes.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:47 PM In the absence of a bird-friend, Swoop stands in place, completely unsure of what to do with himself. He didn't plan this far. There isn't a next step. He lives in this exact spot now apparently. jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 8:48 PM Jazz snorts at the youngling and pats the open spot next to him. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:48 PM [[That, and something to do with his constantly traveling to another planet. Afraid he'll stay there, he imagines.]] [[Swoop, do sit.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:49 PM That'll do. Swoop takes a few long steps and plop himself next to Jazz. This is where he lives now apparently. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:49 PM He gives the tracker a distasteful look. "I'd consider it... excessive." That was the politest word he'd give it. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:50 PM ((I love the quiet badass energy she's got POURING off her already.)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:51 PM ((she looks like she'd like to slap both of them into next week already)) Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:51 PM There is something like a half mew of a cat and a startled owl sound that came out of the big predacon as she;s  hefted up. Wings snapped out in reflex, one would like smack the lord of light and the other bonking the ceiling. It freed her tag alongs to scramble and one jump ship to keep from falling off.Ice Queen had no shame in giveing yipping chirps like if she had been the hatchling instead, one leg kicking in the air. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:51 PM [[Is five a large number for humans?]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:51 PM ((She's tryign to decide if $3k is enough or if she could beat them up for more)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:51 PM [[It seems a lot for such a short-lived species to accomplish, but he doesn't know.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:52 PM "For murders? It's five more than most humans." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:52 PM Soft huff. That's fair. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:52 PM "... Five more than most Cybertronians, before we all became soldiers." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:52 PM Swoop pulls his legs up underneath himself. He rocks a little in place, cause holding still is for nerds. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:53 PM [[Why don't you mind your own business, human.]]
[[Ah. Yes. War does tend to color one's perception of murder.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:53 PM "Me Swoop can murder people." He's contributing to the conversation now. You're welcome. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:53 PM [[Five in one night?]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:54 PM "Five NOTHING! Keheh. That one combiner. No big deal." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:54 PM [[It is a big deal if they are all together at the time.]] Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:54 PM That was an unexpected sound that was rather amusing. No harm was done to the building, though he did 'ow' being smacked in the face. Looks up at the Predacon held in victory with a bemused chuckle. "Been a long while, hm?" Puts Icy back down so she could gather the little runaways before they got into anything. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:55 PM "Us Dinobots fight Devastator a LOTS of time." : > Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:55 PM Grimaces at this talk of combiner murder. "Devastator's six, not five." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:55 PM Oh, hm. That was somewhat insensitive of him, wasn't it. Apology ping. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 8:56 PM "Five, six, same whatever kehehheh." ProwlToday at 8:56 PM Prowl finally speaks. "The Crystal Gardens are protected and the introduction of a possible invasive species has the potential to destroy what little regrowth had occurred since the planet's revival."
She pauses, weighing her next sentence.
"Ultra Magnus felt he was a flight risk against my recommendation in an effort to appease the governors." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 8:56 PM Mumbled thought. [[This one has all the tact Frenzy can bring to bear.]] Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:57 PM "A looong time...." Ice Queen said, her head pulled back and staring with a wide optic at thenew mech. Racer was clinging to his head and.... um, where did the other one go? Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 8:58 PM Well, he hopes the other little one is not getting into trouble. But, he's still giving Primus a look. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:58 PM "A flight risk over one seed." Tsk. Somehow Prowl didn't quite buy that excuse. Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:58 PM "Good to feel young again." Pets Racer to calm him down. Have you tried his legs or back? Plenty of spaces to hide a small mech. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:58 PM The new one is just sitting on a chair mewing confused. little feline one. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 8:58 PM "... Is the garden alright?" Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 8:59 PM Oh, there they are. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 8:59 PM RAcer is offically draft horse size now so, hope that's okay. He's a little dragonic predacon like icy. just 'small,' and clings to new perch. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:00 PM [[Hmph. Big words from a youngling who knows nothing of being hunted.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:00 PM Oh! This movie was pretty boring. Suddenly, Swoop is VERY into this. "Her pretty good shoot!" ProwlToday at 9:00 PM "Our botanist is still determining that." Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:01 PM Little cheetah cat-insulted  look if that was aimed at him. Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 9:01 PM Doesn't have any issues in the slightest. He is Primus. And is listening to the conversation near Soundwave[Slendy] while feeling very berrated by the closer Soundwave[CC]. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:01 PM "Who 'it'?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:02 PM [[She ought to be a good shot if she spent forty years practicing. And they are referring to the human who tried to kill her four decades ago.]] ProwlToday at 9:02 PM "Michael." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:02 PM "Me Swoop almost forty!" Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 9:03 PM Smokescreen is coming in, not bothering with a cloak to hide his missing doorwings tonight, looks at the screen, and is just about ready to leave. "Soundwave? This- uh, is this the movie?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:03 PM [[Yes. You're a bit late. Do you require catching up?]] Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 9:03 PM And he should. Five steps in. Five. Steps. And Primus is already spooking others. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:04 PM Ice Queen is refloding her wings, hope she has not smacked anyone. Looks up to check if she did a dent. Looks up at Primus and her hatchling, puzzled  chirps comes out. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:04 PM "Forty years is over half a human lifespan. But, in return, it looks like she hasn't been... living during those years.  It's correct that she's prepared for the worst; but in preparing, she has little of a life worth living. Both she and her... offspring's offspring have valid perspectives." Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 9:04 PM "Uh. Maybe. I, uh, saw the earlier movies the other day." Granted, it wasn't a fun experience, and it led to his doorwings coming off in the first place, but he still saw them! Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:05 PM Swoop gives Prowl a weird look. He's very unclear on this whole topic. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:05 PM [[Hm. Perhaps. Still, they seem uninclined to help.]] Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 9:06 PM Giving Racer scritches as if this was perfectly normal behavior. "Yes?" Looking at Icy. Mentally nudges Smokescreen. You okay...? Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 9:07 PM Smokescreen finally realizes he's been standing at the door for a few moments now, and heads on inside, nodding at Primus, maybe sticking close to Primus. Very close. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:08 PM Eeeeeeeeeeeeever so slowly, Swoop sliiiides down off the couch like he's melting onto the floor. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:08 PM [[Well, if you decide you need to know, tell him. Find a seat somewhere comfortable.]] Judging by what led to Smokey's doors coming off the last few times, he's going to assume the mech's back hurts. Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 9:08 PM Smokescreen had better be on the other side then. Because he's attempting to keep the deity out of trouble. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:08 PM [[Stay in the vehicle, child.]] Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 9:09 PM Wraps one of his wings around Smokescreen of he's that close. Would nuzzle, but his helm is a host to a big/small Predacon child. jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 9:09 PM New subject to absorb. Jazz has zeroed in on the new Prowl. "So.. with the gardens. The seedlings need to be kept sort of regional for climate reasons, right? They don't always grow well in other places. Is there a garden renewal program with the place the seedling is from? Or a way to move it to a climate controlled area for it?" Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:10 PM The queen.. isn't sure but remembers to get her bulk out of the way, Racer is leaning into the touch happily and is not stressed, so no over protective predacon. Ice queen checks on the other hatchling...who has taken over the chair. That's his spot now tank you. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:10 PM He is now a puddle. He is a liquid pteroborb. Just all over the floor. jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 9:10 PM Jazz is giving Swoop a perplexed look. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:10 PM Limbs everywhere. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:11 PM "The child has terrible gun safety." jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 9:11 PM "You okay, bitlet?" Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 9:11 PM Smokescreen's at the other side, looking at Primus, and then Soundwave, leaning back against Primus' wing. "I'm pretty comfy here, Soundwave! But thank you!" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:11 PM [[The place the seedling is from is a pile of rubble created from a bigger pile of rubble. As with a few other places on Cybertron, no one has settled there yet. He has a few other seeds, but they are in stasis.]] Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:12 PM Swoop continues splaying out on the floor, oblivious to the fact he's apparently a bitlet. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:12 PM [[And he doesn't think the child needs to worry about gun safety anymore. Unfortunately.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:12 PM "The guy he shot could have benefitted from the child's gun safety." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:13 PM [[That is true.]] Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 9:13 PM Changes which servo was giving scritches to Racer so Smokescreen could have some too. Good boys. Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 9:14 PM Smokescreen is shutting his audials off for a moment, but leans in as he's scritched. He's good? He's really good? Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:15 PM Ice Queen will just sit and then loaf on Primus' other side, still not sure who he is. but  her hatchling likes him. Racer will perch happily and hang onto the head with his tail too....it may or may not cling to his face or over the otics as RAcer shifts to look around from Epic Pertch. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:15 PM [[Yes. Yes, that is what you should do.]] jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 9:15 PM Jazz is just gonna scoop up Swoop and put him in his lap. He's not paying enough attention to the movie to know what caused the apparent melting, but he's going to give the wings soothing pets. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:16 PM From the floor comes a chirped, "Halloween!" ProwlToday at 9:16 PM "There is, though I'm not involved aside from volunteering, so I couldn't tell you the exact details of the renewal program and what steps will be taken." Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:16 PM And by floor we of course mean sofa. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:16 PM Prowl starts fiddling with Soundwave's fingers. He's not doing anything specific, just checking them out. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:17 PM ((if y'all have teeth-related fears look away when he sticks his hand over the stall for about 15-20 sec)) Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 9:17 PM Smokescreen is a very good boy. Really needs to stop getting himself into such trouble, but he was a very good boy. Can't exactly see much due to Racer, so he can't observe much anymore. Does know that Soundwave[CC] may have been dislodged from his spot by Icy. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:18 PM The predacon can just be Loafing near! Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:18 PM ((oh man... tooth stuff.)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:18 PM Soundwave doesn't quite know what to make of this. Prowl's never really - this is different than usual. He doesn't mind; it's kind of nice to be examined. He places a small blue question mark on his visor and leans forward, curious. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:19 PM He answers the question mark with an affection ping. Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 9:20 PM Smokescreen turns his audials back on, realizing it's much, much more effective to look away from the screen. "Oh yeah- sorry, Soundwave, I didn't bring cookies or anything this week. But I can still treat myself to drinks and stuff like normal, right?" Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:20 PM ((WHOA was there a frame of Michael's face in there????)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:20 PM ((when??)) Oh! Is this just admiration? Did he start Prowl off on that with the leg thing earlier? That's nice; he'll happily indulge Prowl on that. Maybe offer up the other hand and bob his head. There are a few small wear differences between them. He uses one more often for typing and one more often for repair work. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:20 PM ((He like turned really fast to pull the dude around and I swear there was like one solid frame with a face.)) Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 9:21 PM He is going to huff, and keep watch. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:21 PM Hm. Comparison time. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:21 PM ((quite possible; there is in the original too i think - and they do a lot of mirroring since he's basically trying to restart the night over)) Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:21 PM ((sorry if I missed something)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:21 PM [[Yes, of course you may. ... Get a few extra if you need.]] At Smokescreen. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:22 PM Swoop yaaaaaaaaaawns. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:23 PM ((fuck's sake. give us a second y'all)) jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 9:23 PM ((sup?)) Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:23 PM ((rabbit crapped out)) Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:23 PM ((oh my)) Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 9:23 PM "Really? Thanks, Soundwave! Any special occasion, or do you just need to get rid of some snacks?" Smokescreen is slowly moving from under Primus' wing towards the snacks, using any nearby furniture to support himself. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:23 PM Slowly, Swoop turns to look around at the whole room. Who is here? Not Bird, that's who. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:24 PM ((vudu is the one that went pbblbbt, gimme a sec)) [[Just plenty of snacks to share.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:24 PM ((the one time it WASN'T rabbit)) Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:25 PM RAcer is carefuly hopping down to a shoulder, still trying to hold onto Primus with his head as he flods his wings up.  feels safer there, and total shoulder predacon now. Swoop (medicalmurdersaurus)Today at 9:25 PM ((Ahh. This movie is a lot of fun but I'm fading fast. Let's just have Swoop zonk out too. Feel free to get up to all sorts of hilarious shenanigans with the past out dino lol)) Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 9:25 PM Smokescreen, would you like temporary doorwings to help with balance? They'd be there but not. And hello, Racer. You're his parrot now? Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:26 PM ((aaaaaah goodnight ;; )) ((finish it some time if you never have seen it! it's good)) Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:26 PM ((rest well!)) racer is a parrot on primus's shoulder. he can jump down though! he's a LOT bigger now though ProwlToday at 9:27 PM Prowl perks with interest at the reveal there. How clever. jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 9:27 PM Jazz now has a dinobot sleeping on him. Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 9:27 PM Actually, that would be nice! Smokescreen would probably be overjoyed if Primus did that. Absolutely overjoyed. For now, though, he's just made it to the snack table, and is grabbing as much as his hands can hold. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:28 PM If Prowl is interested, the hand with the sharper claws is the one he uses for repairs. Comes in handy when you don't have a wire stripper around, y'know? Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:29 PM "Before getting kicked out, she could have at least bothered to inform them WHOSE bus crashed. They could have at least known to lock the doors in case." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:29 PM [[Yes, she does fail to make that clear. Then again, he doesn't know there's anyone else she would be paranoid about.]] Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 9:30 PM Racer can jump down to his momma if he wants. Primus looked over to Smokescreen with a soft hum. Moves one of his servos for guidance to 'return' Smokescreen's doorwings for the night. Unless he'd want them to be permanent? He's bee very out of touch and doesn't want to make Smokescreen unhappy with this. He's already got Soundwave[Slendy] unhappy for reasons he's unaware of. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:30 PM Prowl's noticed one hand is sharper than the other—that's the fun hand—but he's never really carefully compared them like this. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:30 PM (("the fun hand" ahaha)) Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:31 PM "... How long are you being tracked?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:31 PM [[Two days. Then it's decided what he'll have to do.]] An irritable vent. [[It's horrible.]] Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:32 PM RAcer falls off, thumps on ground and rolls before popping up. He meant to do that. Really. Racer grooms hismself while his younger sibling laughs at him. He dos get a lick from his carrier. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:32 PM "I thought they already decided? Or are you at risk of more punishment than community service?" jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 9:32 PM "Ah. Two days is short, though." Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 9:33 PM While he'd love to have them back now, he's actually getting some new ones soon! So it's fine, really, probably. Still, the moment he has them back for the moment, he's spinning around the main area, taking a few jumps, and maybe a fall, just to enjoy them again. "Frag yeah! Frag yeah! Did, uh- how'd you do this, Primus, sir? Are these, uh, the same ones that I lost?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:34 PM [[He's already doing his work by connection so they can't find out what he's doing and where he's going over there. A good thing Ravage signed on as a proper employee; he can handle tracking by himself for a while.]]
[[The current decision is for interfering with the gardens without permission. What to do about the invasive species bit is another matter.]] He'll probably bribe the gardens and try to get the seed back. They can't complain then, right? [[It's only short if you have nothing to hide from other mechs.]] jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 9:36 PM "It's short if you've had a much longer parole before." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:36 PM [[Long sentences and breakouts. No paroles.]] Soundwave looks to Prowl. [[You didn't hear the second part of that first sentence.]] jazz(unkillablejazz)Today at 9:37 PM "Did those too." Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 9:38 PM That's very good news! "In a manner of speaking, yes. It isn't too difficult to track down your signature. I'm very familiar with it after all." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:38 PM Tiny sneer. [[Abandon the fool.]] Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:38 PM Racer starts sniffing about, may he visit a few mechs? Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:39 PM [[Good.]] What were they saying? [[And what were you given long sentences for?]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:39 PM "I'll let it slide." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:39 PM A huff. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:41 PM "What's a breakout or two when I already knew that you're a dangerous rogue gardener." He tapped Soundwave's tracker with his foot. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:44 PM Soundwave's mouth opens and shuts once before he determines that this is a joke. He bops Prowl's foot back with the tracked leg.
[[A terrible criminal, him. A threat to pristine grounds all across Cybertron.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:45 PM Huff. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:45 PM And then a mild frown. [[He supposes this puts an end to his idea of planting one in Iacon.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:46 PM "Not necessarily. You just have to get permission and ensure that it won't take over the local flora, correct?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:47 PM He has no idea. He didn't even think about invasive species being a dangerous thing the first time, let alone look things up. He glances to the other Prowl. Help? ((putting the jack o lantern in an aquarium to douse it, how petty)) Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 9:47 PM Turns out looking away still means hearing the sound, and Smokescreen really isn't for that during the more intense scenes, and is going to pretty much cling to Primus during all of the scary-sounding scenes. Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 9:50 PM Smokescreen will get back rubs between the doorwings. "Not my sort of movie either." Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:51 PM Racer puts a paw on Smokescreen's leg, not so tiny predacon sniffs at him. remembers him! ProwlToday at 9:52 PM "The Captain is correct. Local flora in Iacon is scarce to begin with as it is and there are fewer citizens to interfere with your seedling's growth." Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:53 PM "What is it that you're trying to plant?" Ice Queen asks from her spot. Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 9:54 PM "I mean, I enjoyed the first movie when I watched it, it's just- it kinda reminded me of slag." He's resting himself against Primus, probably not about to let go for the rest of the night. Still! Racer gets a pat on the helm! Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:54 PM "And if it's a nearly extinct plant, it would probably merit protection." ProwlToday at 9:54 PM "It would." Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 9:55 PM "Slag? The Dinobot or the metal trash?" Nuzzles Smokescreen's helm. Strokes the back of it soothingly. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 9:56 PM "Are there no semi isolated or isolated villages or places on you cybertron that can handle this plant?" Ice queen askes, "Or an inside tank or guarden room?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:56 PM Oh, that's... that's actually sort of exciting, in a quiet way. Little satisfaction glyph on screen and everything.
[[A Harmonex tower seed.]] To Icy. [[Difficult. They have to be well tuned and shaped as they grow.]]
But if they can be protected... [[Perhaps he could hire someone to tend to it. We earn more than enough in excess for that...]] Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 9:57 PM "What? No, no- a phrase. It reminded me of stuff that, uh, happened when I saw the original movie." The petting helps, but his optics are not coming back on until the music stops. Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 9:58 PM "Oh." All good, Smokescreen. Primus isn't judging you for the 'nopenope' at the movie. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 9:59 PM ((god damn it. hold on it did the spinning thing again)) Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 9:59 PM ((*taps rabbit)) ((oh there it go)) ProwlToday at 9:59 PM ((punts vudu)) Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 10:00 PM Racer walks carefully over to sit near, but not too close, he does want to say hello to soundwave and prowl, show off so to say. But only if its okay. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:00 PM Soundwave hasn't seen Racer in forever. He pats a knee. Would Racer like to come up for a moment? Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 10:01 PM Prowl glances over. "Pbbt." And returns his attention to one of Soundwave's hands. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:03 PM Something that's almost an actual chuckle. He missed hearing Prowl make that noise. [[What are you looking for, if he might ask?]] Usually when someone gives them this much an inspection, they want to know one thing. [[The mid-finger seams are where they open and fold to rearrange the joints when the deployers dock...]] Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 10:03 PM RAcer would love to! He trots over and shows that he is...tanker then before. The brown predacon hatchling is more youngling, about the size of a draft horse instead of pony! he puts his head up on soundwave's leg first. Not everyone wants a big dragonet on them now. ProwlToday at 10:03 PM "This won't end well." Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 10:03 PM "Pbbbt!" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:05 PM Soundwave is much stronger than he looks, and he's used to being piled on by smaller bots. There's plenty of room next to him on the couch for Racer to hop up. Pat pat the space. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 10:06 PM The youngling hops up neatly, wiggles around to loaf, his wings are under control now and shamelessly plots head on soundwave's leg again. "Hi." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:07 PM Exclamation point. He speaks? [[Hello. Doing well, youngling?]] Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 10:08 PM "Ye! Yes! New clutch! new friends!" Racer chirps, he can talk much better, but not all the time. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 10:09 PM "Nothing in particular." But at the suggestion, he traces the seam. "Can you do it when a deployer isn't docking?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:09 PM ((puff you're gonna wanna look away)) ((ok it shhhhhould be ok. there might be another brief flash of it next time they show the cops, i don't remember)) [[Ah! That is very good. You must be a proud older sibling.]]
And then, glancing at his hands. [[He tends not to, if only to conserve energy and protect the mechanisms. But, in the interest of medical demonstration--]] He stares, flexes the fingers... and there they go, splitting and rearranging the sections to show the very delicate insides and a hidden joint. [[These spaces here are where the relevant portions of Rumble and Frenzy's armor lock in.]] Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 10:14 PM Racer holds very, very still just in case. But he does radiate young pride, and glances where the new hatchling is still catting on a chair under Icy's watch. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 10:15 PM Prowl pulls his hands back, to avoid potentially damaging the sensitive parts that weren't meant to be exposed. He just looks, studying. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:19 PM [[There used to be more under here.]] Nodding to the revealed components. [[But we streamline where we must to balance the strain. It is so elsewhere as well.]]
A glance to Racer. [[It doesn't scare you, does it, young one?]] Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 10:19 PM Don't mind him. He's just...going to try and stay awake. He's paying the movie no attention, and Primus is staying out of trouble. For the most part. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 10:20 PM "....no." The young predacon has been groomed by insecticon madables and acarriar with fangs bigger them him at one point, he's not scared, but confused, "Different?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:20 PM [[Only to some. No stranger than most partial transformations, in his opinion.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 10:22 PM "You can close it. Thank you." Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 10:22 PM Well Soundwave[Slendy] is busy with Prowl, and now Racer, so he's not had the chance to talk. He has a feeling that'd bring up a conversation best left until nearly all but three were there. Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 10:22 PM ....that wasn't a challenge. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:23 PM A nod. They seal up and return to the usual two segments. He wiggles them to make sure everything went back in the right place before offering them up again. If there was anything else Prowl wanted to see, that is. He doesn't know. Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 10:23 PM Trouble happens. Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 10:23 PM Do not Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 10:23 PM He's seen enough for now. He takes Soundwave's hand. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:24 PM Soundwave hums a quiet note or three, soothed. Now to see what happens in this final hunt of the masked one's... Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 10:24 PM Ice Queen can help with trouble later on if wanted! shedoes have a ship full of pirates. Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 10:25 PM As if he wants to cause trouble! Something happened and he just wants to know what it was that made him feel alienated. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 10:25 PM and hatchlings Racer is debating on being daring, but he STILL remembers that kick. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 10:25 PM "... The youngest one should get a gun too. In case." ProwlToday at 10:26 PM Laughs shortly at the daughter's trick. Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 10:27 PM Primus, you're going to be the death of him at this rate. ProwlToday at 10:27 PM "Clever." Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 10:28 PM Says the one who doesn't have to keep track of him. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 10:28 PM "Do they still have guns? I feel like they should shoot him a couple times through the bars. Just to be sure. He's remarkably durable." ProwlToday at 10:29 PM "I think they left them in the basement." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:29 PM [[Quite.]] To the first Prowl. [[And he would fire several rounds, himself. Yes.]] To the other. Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 10:29 PM Doesn't. But is trying to. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Today at 10:30 PM Racer noddles his neck and head over the could to peer at peeds, and then blinks at the mentioned thing before..... is that a chew toy? Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 10:30 PM [[Rather satisfying. Closure for three generations. How fortunate they are to have found it together.]] Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 10:31 PM You know he can just teleport you back to your proper universe, yeah? Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 10:31 PM Don't Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 10:32 PM Hmm... Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Today at 10:32 PM It's rude so do not do it Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 10:33 PM Smokescreen finally looks at the screen again, "Wait, wait, it's done?" ProwlToday at 10:33 PM "Yes." Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Today at 10:33 PM "Frag, that was, uh, good!" He had to look away for the whole movie, whoops. "That was, er, fun, Soundwave! Thank you!" Primus [the-lord-of-light]Today at 10:33 PM Soundwave[CC] is moved a foot to the side. Such rude he is. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Yesterday at 10:34 PM A puzzled sound coms from Ice Queen, how did that happne? ProwlYesterday at 10:35 PM "They should have shot him." Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Yesterday at 10:35 PM Well, now he's mildly disoriented. "Can you not do things like that?" Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 10:35 PM "A few more times, yes. And used a method of elimination that didn't necessitate leaving the building without confirming his death." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 10:35 PM [[You're welcome, Smokescreen.]] He'll offer a polite fiction. He knows Smokey couldn't pay attention to most of it. ProwlYesterday at 10:35 PM And on that lovely note, she's going to disengage from the video and stand up to leave. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 10:36 PM [[They really ought have stuck around to check the ashes.]] He'll give Prowl a nod farewell. Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 10:36 PM "I could." You tempted him to be a spiteful child. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 10:36 PM "Evening, alternate." ProwlYesterday at 10:36 PM Pings Soundwave, alternate, and Smokescreen goodbye before leaving. Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Yesterday at 10:37 PM He pings Prowl back! Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Yesterday at 10:37 PM Very tempted to give him a mental jab for that. Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 10:38 PM Myeeeh. Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Yesterday at 10:40 PM Behave, damnit. Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 10:41 PM Huff. Pets Smokescreen. Just has to talk with your alternate, that's all. Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Yesterday at 10:42 PM Wonderful Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 10:45 PM Soundwave shakes his head. Bit of mental static coming off Primus there for a second. Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Yesterday at 10:45 PM Smokescreen leans into the petting, still clinging to Primus Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 10:48 PM Helm pets. "You going to head back home, Smokescreen?" Glances towards the couch. It has quieted down post-movie, but it still is a bit too crowded to speak up about whatever happened two weeks ago. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 10:48 PM He's feeling Watched. He squeezes Soundwave's hand. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 10:49 PM Squeeze back. He can feel the glance too. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Yesterday at 10:49 PM Racer chirps at prowl. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 10:50 PM ((public stream end in about 5 minutes y'all, i forgot to mark time but that's roughly it)) Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Yesterday at 10:50 PM "I guess- I guess I will. Eventually. To the medbay. Do you wanna come with me, Primus, sir?" Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 10:50 PM He nods at Racer. Ah, yes, hello—Prowl was distracted by Soundwave's hands, wasn't he? "Are you heading home now?" Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 10:52 PM "I've got something to do first, but I can join you afterwards." Smiles at Smokescreen. Kisses his forehelm. "Do you want to pick out a movie we can watch together? I'll stay with you until you get your new doorwings then, if you want." [Smokescreen is best snuggle buddy for Primus.] Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Yesterday at 10:53 PM Racer thinks so, but slowly noodles his head over to head bump at prowl's hand. "Pbbt." Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 10:53 PM He pulls his hand back, not sure what Racer wants with it; but then uncertainly sets it down on Racer's head. "Pbbbt." Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Yesterday at 10:56 PM Very pleased little predacon, gives the hand a blep and, "hi! I'm big!" Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 10:58 PM Oh, he's being licked. He's taking his hand back now. "Yes. You are." Comparatively speaking. But from Racer's perspective it was probably the biggest he'd ever been, so. "Were you upgraded?" Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Yesterday at 10:58 PM "That would be awesome, Primus. I don't know what movie I'd like to go for, but- maybe we can watch a musical? Have you heard of Starlight Express?" Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 10:59 PM "I have not. That sounds like a very enjoyable musical though." Smiles. "You've seen it before now?" Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Yesterday at 11:00 PM "I grow!" The blep is still there, he didnt mean to lick. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:00 PM Prowl very slowly nods. "I see." He's heard of that happening in some universes. This is the first time he's SEEN it, though. Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Yesterday at 11:02 PM "It is! It's got trains! I've been meaning to watch it with Astro, but I can see it with you again." Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 11:04 PM "Ha, does it now?" Rubs Smokescreen's helm with a chuckle. "Head back and set it up. You better be seated by the time I arrive or I'm not going to tell you an embarrassing story about Alpha Trion after the movie~." Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Yesterday at 11:05 PM "He's goi g to get at least twice his size before stopping for a while." Ice Queen offered, watching racer for a moment. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:07 PM "How does he get the mass to increase his size?" Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Yesterday at 11:10 PM "We eat metals, ore, minerals and things likenthat." Ice Queen chuckled, tilting her head at them, get him to open his jaws, his denta are heading up. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:12 PM "Oh? Seems... difficult." Wouldn't it be easier to forge bigger parts and armor than to construct them internally? Combining the processes for keeping a body functioning AND the processes to make it grow in one frame seemed crowded. Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Yesterday at 11:15 PM "Its mostly all we've known. I make sure the young get the easiest things. Dusted and sanded metals mixed with energon. " the predacon was being honest, it would be easier, but they just didn't have access to any parts or medics. Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 11:18 PM Light mental nudge to Soundwave[SW], then pings. {You're more quiet than usual. I still want to talk, but I feel tonight is not polite, yes?} Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:19 PM ((if we're gonna get into a Discussion, if we don't get into it soon, i'm gonna have to ask that it be put off for another night. i'm going to bed in 40 minutes)) Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Yesterday at 11:21 PM ((We can do it another time, or prowl can come to dreaded wings. I'm going to bed soon too)) Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 11:21 PM [Puff must sleep.] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:21 PM ((i meant with primus and soundwave actually lmao you're good)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:21 PM ((i'm honestly super dazed rn and am in favor of postponing fancy discussions until next week and then absolutely tackling them at that time)) Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 11:22 PM [gentle pets noodle Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Yesterday at 11:22 PM ((....I'm sorry. I'm going to go take my sick self away now. Good night)) Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 11:22 PM [Icy nuuuu [You feel better though. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:23 PM ((SORRY i'm not trying to run you out, we've been delaying a chat for a couple of weeks and i just wanted to get us coordinated)) ((i didn't want us to try to start it five minutes before i went to bed, is the thing)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:23 PM ((icy you didn't do anything, don't worry,)) ((but if you are sick please rest soonish)) Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Yesterday at 11:24 PM ((I've been miss reading things all night though, plus dyslexia and being sick is just, I know I might have been annoying)) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:24 PM ((nah nah)) Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 11:24 PM [Never annoying friend Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Yesterday at 11:24 PM ((you're good, don't worry Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 11:25 PM [Lot happens at once on movie night Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Yesterday at 11:25 PM ((tired waves I'm going to pass out after cold meds. Just have icy take the kiddos. )) Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 11:25 PM [Rest and recover <3 Icy (Omicrontheicequeen)Yesterday at 11:26 PM ((Do I just leave the server? Was that in the rules?) Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:27 PM Soundwave glances toward Primus at the nudge and ping. He's... still not quite in the mood to talk. He got interrupted from his original thinking by all this mess with Slugfest and the outcome. [[Perhaps next week.]] Maybe he'll have worked out which gifts are safe and which ones aren't by then. Unless something ELSE is secretly a bot and he doesn't know it. He hopes not. ((it'll prevent you getting pinged with all sorts of unnecessary bleeps but honestly nobody remembers so i stopped chasing about it)) Smokescreen (ask-smokescreen)Yesterday at 11:28 PM ((shoot i got distracted by art asdzxcnc Primus [the-lord-of-light]Yesterday at 11:29 PM Nods in understanding. Shall scoop Smokescreen up then and take him back to where he belongs. Soundwave (corruptedcomms)Yesterday at 11:32 PM Well. With Primus gone, he's going to leave as well. Goodnight. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:33 PM Goodnight, alternate. One day he'll get to talk to you without Primus making trouble in the background. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:41 PM "... Are you sure you'll be ready next week?" Could they prepare for worst case scenarios by then? Was it possible to prepare for a worst case scenario with a spurned god? Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:42 PM [[...Well, he can at least try to listen. He would like to know what is so important that his alternate has to babysit a deity. Whether he responds or not is another matter.]] Maybe he can work the outcome of his listening into his overall determination about the situation? He's hoping, anyway. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:44 PM "Do you think he plans to talk? Or to demand answers?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:45 PM [[He doesn't know. If he demands answers, then... that says something, he supposes.]] [[And if he is angry, then he imagines we'll have a chance to find out whether that grimoire of ours works on a god.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:46 PM "Yyyes, it does say something. It says that we could immediately be in a hell of a lot of trouble if we don't provide the answers he wants on his terms." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:47 PM [[True. Very true. But he does not know if it is wise to keep a potentially angry god waiting. Damned if we do, and damned if we don't.]] Well, he can buy them 24 hours, if nothing else. He does know that much. ... Though he'd rather not do that. Might lose the spark shard if he does that. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:49 PM "Which is why we should be prepared before then. As much as we CAN be prepared, at least." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:49 PM [[He doesn't suppose you could calculate and create a bridge large and safe enough to move Luna Three over in an emergency.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:50 PM "... I don't think aiming Luna three at your own planet is... a viable plan. But yes. I could." Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:51 PM [[So we bridge him into space first.]] That sounds like it should be a joke of sorts, but there's no humor in his mental voice there. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:52 PM "Can we? That's just his avatar, right? Like mine. Would hitting his avatar do anything?" Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:53 PM [[Disrupt him for a short period of time. Serve as a warning. Even a few minutes would help, at that point.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:54 PM Prowl's gonna reach over and take Soundwave's other hand. He hoped it wouldn't come to that. He felt like he didn't need to say that. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Yesterday at 11:57 PM He didn't need to say that, no. Soundwave understood. He will take the hand, and tug Prowl into his arms if allowed. A reverse of the first night this mess started. He'll make sure at least one of them will be okay, whatever happens. And the deployers. They're staying in Iacon while that talk happens. Just in case. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Yesterday at 11:58 PM It's absolutely allowed. Prowl slides into his embrace, and holds him tight. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 12:00 AM Good. This is safety. They can rest like this, as much as rest is possible at this stage. They already took down Unicron. What's another god, if it really does come down to that?
A nuzzle and an affection ping. Just to beat back at the tide of nervousness. Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 12:01 AM Ping, ping, ping. Soundwave (Slenderwave)Today at 12:04 AM Hmm, good. Important to know that's true even now. It wouldn't be, with a lot of other people.
He'll keep watch for now with the occasional pet. Maybe bring Ravage down to help stand guard.
[[Goodnight.]] Prowl (verdigrisprowl)Today at 12:04 AM A nuzzle, and a light kiss. "Good night."
