hsVerse, Rec Room, visiting with friends
Desi: *sulking as she perches on the back of a couch, watching everyone in the room. She's got a long-sleeved shirt on over the shirt she was wearing the other day, more to hide the bruises on her upper arms and chest than because she's cold. Curse organics and their inability to heal rapidly! and darn them for being so easily damaged!*
*gently thunderous knocking on the front door*
Galvatron: *sighs as the sound startles Draco and wakes him up from almost being asleep. Walks out to go walk the sparklet in he and Cho's quarters*
Desi: *still sulking, arms crossed over chest, SULK SULK SULK*
knocking: *happens again*
Eclipse: *coming off of shift, hears knocking, headtilts and goes to greet whoever's there*
Deadnought: *grins down at her, one hand cupped close to his lower chest as a burly young white mech with black racing stripes peers around his legs, and a red Seeker stands behind him* Hey, 'Clips, was startin' ta wonder if anybody was home.
Eclipse: ^_^ Things have been a bit chaotic around here...*quietly, to Dreadnought* Don't make a big deal of this, but Desinex got hit with a LOL...and she's kinda in a bad mood, but then again, she's always a bit grouchy, so just make sure you don't make a big deal of it...she looks different...
Dreadnought: *scans* ...She the human in the rec room?
Sam: *from Dread's hand* Human?
Eclipse: *nods* She was getting something and somehow she got LOL'd, and came back as a human and she's already been squished twice by her daughter and she's not too thrilled with being human, especially since Ironhide gave her a bit of a hard time about it earlier...*realizes she's rambling, ducks head sheepishly*
Dreadnought: *rumbles and steps inside, then nods to the mechs following him.* This's Sunhalo. And the other guy's Sureshot, Sam's son. *lowers his hand to set Sam down* And that's Sam.
Sam: *feeling pretty stoked at being able to sit up, has a bittyBee sleeping in his lap* Hi. :D
Sunhalo: *nods seriously, blue eyes studying Eclipse*
Sureshot: *shakes his booty and plays music* Hi!
Eclipse: ^_^ Hi! Lumen's with Bluestreak at the moment, and WakeJumper's busy helping Ratchet with something, and I don't know what Solar Flare and Dad have gotten up to so I can't introduce you to them, but if they were here I would and you could meet my family...*Rambling again, gleefully*
Desi: *Scowl, throws pillow at Eclipse's head* >/
Eclipse: *not fazed in the least, continues rambling, until she gets pounced on by a little red sparkling, a little pink sparkling, and a little orange sparkling, all of whom are giggling as a young woman's voice calls after them*
Ophi: Oy! Mas dispasio, por favor, I can't keep up with you three!
bittyBee: *pops awake, stares, squeaks! Hops down and makes like a little football linebacker through the sparklets as she roars away down the hall*
Sureshot: Ohslag, I'm after her! *steps over sparklets and Ophi on his way down the hall*
Sam: :o
Dareadnought: *facepalm*
Ophi: ...*blink blink, leaning on braces a bit* ¿Qué...suceder?
Dreadnought: Bumble decided to assert her dominance.
Sam: Sorry about that.
Orion Pax: *GLEE, will chase bitty!*
Ariel: *Squeaks and follows after Orion, leaving a puzzled Dion behind, and a defeated-looking Ophi*
Dion: *Puzzled look at Dreadnought* ?
Dread: *offers the little guy his hand* You gonna let us in, 'Clipse? Or leave us standin' in the hall?
Sam: *to Ophi* Hi.
Eclipse: Oh! *Sheepish, steps aside* ^^;;
Dion: *smile, climbs up onto Dreadnought's hand* n_n *Soft click*
Ophi: *nods at Sam* I'd wave, but then I'd lose my balance...
Desi: *Watching while trying to feign disinterest*
Dread: *offers Ophi his other hand. Yes, this is a hint of the Jazz charm around the ladies....* You wanna ride?
Sam: Uh... yeah, I know what that's like.
Sureshot: *in the distance down the hall* Heh!
Ophi: *smiles, nods and manuevers so she can sit in Dread's hand* Muchas gracias, pero... ¿Cuál es tu nombre? *to Dread*
Dreadnought: *lifts she and Dion carefully and holds them close to his chest* I'm Dreadnought. I met Eclipse and Desinex in the nexxi. *heads toward the rec room, keeping an eye on Sam. Sunhalo follows him silently*
Eclipse: *startled by a comm, makes her leave now, waves heads down the hall*
Ophi: Ah...*chuckle* I've been to a Nexus...The one con el feo como muestra del pecado...
Desi: English, femme, English. *Scowl*
Dreadnought: Yeah... I've shot that slaggin.... shot that thing a couple times. *looks after Eclipse with surprise, but goes into the rec room with Sam's electric chair close behind him*
Ophi: *rolls her eyes at Desi, is about to comment, double-takes* O_O ¿Qué te sucedió? *gets bapped in the face by a pillow, thrown by Desi*
Show: *Playing more music over her speakers, heading for Rec room* C'mon kiddo, let's get some energon and see if your Mommy's feeling better... ^_^
lilHalo: *click... notice the biiig guy* 0_0 *CLING!*
Show: *clung to, blink blink, flutters wings, spots Dreadnought* Hey Dreadnought! ^_^ *isn't fazed by him being here at all* What's up?
Dreadnought: *settles carefully to sit on the floor, and then offers to let his passengers go if they want it* Just come ta visit. Thought I'd introduce the runt there to her alternate. 'N let Bumble have a little fun with other little bots that ain't scared'a her.
Sam: *fiddles with joystick and accidentally spins his chair* Whoa! Um... okay, don't do that again, Sam.
Sunhalo: *standing at parade rest near Dreadnought and watching everyone*
Ophi: *Snerks at Sam, moves to sit on the floor, and gets Dion-snuggles* Next time, set your brake first.
Show: Ah...I take it Orion and Ariel are playing with Bumble at the moment?
Desi: *SULK*
*something crashes somewhere down the hall*
Sureshot: Whoa! *laughs* Okay, go this way.
Dreadnought: Yeah, and her son's keepin' 'em outta trouble.
Sam: Yeah... hey, I just got the chair. I'm learning all the bugs :D
Show: *flutters wings in amusement, gently rubs lilSunhalo's back*
Ophi: yeah...I know what that's like...*slightly strained smile, gets cheekpats from Dion, accompanied by soft clicking* Oh, kiddo, I'm fine...
Desi: *has had enough sitting on the couch, will climb down now, or at least try to...*
Sureshot: Slag! Um, I mean... oh, hi, 'Hide!
Dreadnought: Oh oh. *smirk*
Sam: It's my first experiment with sitting up straight. *face falls a little, tries to squirm*
Dreadnought: *big hand comes down and adjusts Sam's position*
Orion: *Delighted giggling, gleefully repeating the swearword*
Show: *Snerk*
Ariel: *giggle* He saida bad word!!!
Ophi: *understanding nod* Just remember, this is the hardest part. It gets easier each time you do it.
Sureshot: It was an accident! *laughing*
Dreadhought: *brown optics twinkling... noooo, he didn't bring Sureshot for the fun of it... what makes you think that?* Hey, Desinex.
Sam: Yeah... that's what Doc said.
Desi: *Startled, loses grip, falls on aft* Great. Like I didn't have enough injuries...*grumble grumble, distracted wave*
Dreadnought: *reaches over and gently picks up the humanized femme, his big fingers careful and respectful*
bittyBee: SLAG! Slagging slagger, 'Hide!
Sureshot: BUMBLEBEE! :o
Sam: :o
Sunhalo: ....
lilHalo: No... 'Hide's a fragger.
Show: *gives Desi a look*
Desi: *amused smirk*
Orion and Ariel: ...*GLEEE, repeating of bittyBee with gusto! Will run around the grown-ups' feet, shouting*
WJ: ...Didn't expect to hear that on my way to get energon...*amused rumbling, sounds of someone dodging someone else, WJ enters the common room* X3
Dreadnought: *gently settling Desi on his knee, doesn't look up as WJ enters* Hey, Wake. Sup?
bittyBee: *laughing her itty bitty aft off*
lilHalo: *has noticed Sunhalo* 0_0
Sunhalo: *looks back with polite curiosity*
Sam: ...She got all that from Kup?
WJ: Ah, not much. Helping 'Jack and Solar with something...I'm on energon duty...and Eclipse is keeping Red Alert busy in case something explodes...I'm also taking bets on how long that'll be. *cheeky grin*
Desi: *rolls eyes, slight sulk*
Show: Sounds like she picked up some from 'Hide.
Dreadnought: *will rub Desi's back with a finger as he grins at WJ* What're the odds?
Sam: She's not around Ironhide that much, though. He's on the other side of the country.
bittyBee: Fraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag!
WJ: *pulls datapad out of subspace* Smokie's got ten to one odds of it happening in the next ten minutes...Five to one odds of the next hour...
Dreadnought: *turns his head and engages sensors* Nope. Four point two nine eight minutes.
WJ: ...Frag. *tosses datapad and RUNS to get to the lab*
Sam: :o *tries to get his hands to obey him so he can cover his ears*
Dreadnought: *engages sound damping feild and warns Sureshot to do the same for the bitties*
Desi: *covering her own ears*
Lab: *GOES A'SPLODY*
Dreadnought: I was a nanoclick off.
Sam: ... I didn't hear anything.
Dread: *drops the feild, and hey.. there's the aftermath!*
Bluestreak: *trying to comfort a terrified Lumen, while running towards the lab to make sure everyone else is OK*
Sureshot: *comes in with armload of yelling sparklets*
Ariel: *CLINGING*
bittyBee: DO GAIN!
Ophi: *carefully transfers Dion to the floor, gets up with minor difficulty, hurries as well as she can to get Orion Pax, who is shaking like a leaf*
Ariel: Nononononono! ;_;
bittyBee: No... :o
Sureshot: *rubbing little backs as he hands Orion over*
Ophi: *immediately begins trying to comfort the little mech, via quiet reassurances in spanish*
Dreadnought: *scanning in that direction again*
Ariel: *whimpering, wants Allen now!*
Eclipse: *Runs past Rec Room, flailing and spazzing to put Bluestreak to shame*
Dread: Relax. Nobody's hurt.
Show: *turns up her audios* Is it over?
bittyBee: *other bitty's crying is making her cry*
Dread: *takes bittyBee* Yeah, and everybody's fine.
Dread: Except whoever that was that just nearly stepped on Cho and got punched in the knee....
Desi: ...*snerk* Probably Bluestreak or Eclipse...then again, 'Jack could've...WakeJumper's usually pretty careful around the smaller 'bots.
Dread: *sets Desi down and gets up to go lift the doors off WJ*
Sam: *strangely silent for a Sam as he watches everything go on. His face looks pale*
Ophi: *shaking a bit once Dreadnought's gone from the Rec Room, has to set Orion Pax down as she sits down with her head between her legs*
Dread: *sets doors aside and shakes his head at Wheeljack* You scared the hell outta Ophi 'n Sam 'n the little ones. *turns and goes back to the rec room, where his big hand goes protectively over Ophi*
Sureshot: *reclining Sam's chair and talking to him quietly*
WJ: *Slightly shaken, is okay, has gotten pounced on by Eclipse and Lumen, and is getting ordered by Ratchet to take the rest of the day off or be duct taped to his berth*
Sam: I... needta go home.
Dread: Go ahead, man.
Sureshot: *gently picks Sam up and then PINpoints them out*
Dread: *rumbles softly and rubs Ophi's back with a finger*
Ophi: *Quietly, more to herself than anybody present* He's gone. He won't come back. He can't hurt you anymore. This was just 'Jack being imprudente...
Dread: *scoops her and Dion and Orion Pax up and holds them close to his chest, then rumbles softly* You're alright, lady.
Show: *concerned as she watches Ophi continue to shake, even as Dion and Orion snuggle against her* *gently*Ophi...it's okay. Nobody will think any less of you if you let go...
Ariel: *discontent whine, moves to scale Dreadnought's leg, so she can join the snuggle pile*
Dread: *gets that baby too, then reaches into one of his storage compartments and offers Ophi a big fluffy white towel*
Ophi: *wibbles a bit, breaks down, letting go of all the stress she's been through since the incident with Starscream many months prior*
Dread: *turns his back on everyone else, not minding that he's now facing Sunhalo, who is watching with silent compassion as the big Decepticon gently closes his hand around the sparklets and the sobbing woman and clicks to her softly in Cybertronian*
Ophi: *after awhile, begins to quiet down enough to be understandable, gives a quiet thanks in Cybertronian(despite what anyone thought, she HAD been paying attention when Showtime had tried teaching her!), and snuggles with Orion Pax*
Dread: *voice a deeeep soft rumble that she can probably feel* It's no problem. Just give it a few more clicks. *tucks the end of the towel around she and the sparklets*
Orion: *clicking and snuggling against Momma now, kthx!*
Dion: *gentle cheekpats, snuggles Ariel, who is still a bit upset about being scared earlier*
Dread: *rumbles to them as softly as his big engines can*
Ophi: *rubs Orion's back, and takes a few deep breaths, before nodding* Estoy bien...
Dread: *gently sets Ophi and the sparklets on the human size couch, once more tucking the towel around them*
Desi: *thoughtful look, glances at Dreadnought from behind her sunglasses, and clicks a bit in as much Cybertronian as her vocal chords can handle* [stronger than] *scowls as voice cracks when she tries to get the right pitch for what she wants to say* [thought].
Dread: *looks at her* [what?]
Desi: *points at Ophi* [Strong. Stronger than] *points at self, while making a face about how idiotic she sounds*
Dread: [Stronger than you?]
Desi: *nods* [Stronger than Optimus. Remnant of spark.] *voice cracks again*
Dread: *reaches down and scoops her up* Here, whisper in English.
Desi: Ophi is a remnant of a spark fragment from a mech who still lives...*glances at Ophi, a sad look in her optics* She, Allen Walker, and Denver Mackenzie were kidnapped by Starscream because he wanted to rebuild the Decepticon forces here on Earth...I don't know how he found out about them being remnants...but he did...from what Ironhide told me, Ophi nearly died from what Starscream did...I've never seen the old mech that fragged off...
Dread: ...She was born that way?
Desi: *Shrug* I guess. I don't know the details, just that those three bitlets are the spark fragments...only they're not fragments anymore.
Dread: *nods, a thoughtful look in his dark optics*
Desi: Even after all she's been through...she's not let it stop her...When I met her, she was still in a wheelchair...
Dread: She's a fighter. That's good.
Desi: *nods, wry smirk* She'd have made a heck of a Decepticon...
Dread: A real one.
Desi: *Scowl, reaches to bap Dread on the helm a little* Oh, and I'm not?
Dread: *slight smirk and a rumble* Never said that.
Desi: *Scowl* Fragger*chuckles quietly as she watches Orion nodding off on Ophi's lap*
Dread: *rumbles softly* Guess I should head for home. I came to tell Eclipse and Wake about Fireflight, but they're busy.
Desi: Want one of us to pass the message on?
Dread: Nah. It ain't that kinda news.
Desi: ah...*shrugs a little, before stretching and popping her back. Cue the facemaking again* I am looking FORWARD to when this LOL wears off.
Dread: *more gentle back rubbing* I bet. *a flicker, and his holodriver is sitting next to her*
Desi: *raised eyebrow*
Dread: *raises one back* Everything looks out of shape from this angle
Desi: *snerk* and way too fragging big.
Dread: Yeah. *big black guy with dreads pulls a face*
Show: *has noticed, will say nothing, but is tempted to add her own holo to the group*
Desi: At least you don't have to worry about fuel...*makes another face* Humans like the strangest things.
Show: *amused 'wing flick*
Dread: ... dead stuff.
Desi: Among other things...*still can't remember what happened the other night when Captain Lennox and the other Rangers came to have Poker Night with some of the 'Bots, as she had her first taste of alcohol, and more than likely had more than she should've*
Dread: It's all dead. :\
Desi: *shrug*
Show: *smirk, comms Dread*//I have a vid of her after she got drunk the other night...it's actually pretty funny...she spent an hour arguing with the plant in the corner about who was better dressed.//
Dread: 0_o //Slag... are you trying to get fragged, femme?//
Show: //Nah, I had to play Designated Driver for most of the Rangers. They have bad taste in music.//
Dread: ... You talkin' 'bout Will 'n Bobby?
Show: *nods, innocent expression as Desi blinks and then glares at her*
Show: //They're not the ones with the worst taste though.// *will say no more*
Dread: No, that's the twins
Show: *Snerk*
Desi: *back and forth between Show and Dread* >/ Quit talking about stuff I have no idea about!
Dread: *leans his holo over and kisses her on the head*
Desi: O_O *BLUSHES while Showtime cracks up*
Dread: *griiin*
Ophi: *looks up, SNERK* *sing-song tone*¡Desi tiene un novio! ¡Desi tiene un novio! *laughs*
Desi: *Spazzes*
Dread: Nah, she don't want a jerk like me.
Desi: *AGREEING WITH DREAD, Attempting to repeatedly bap Dread's holo with fists!* >///<
Show: *Cracking up, can't speak*
Ophi: Oh, so you're available? *Amused*
Dread: *laughing and holding her wrists* Nah.... I don't got time for interdimensional romance. I gotta keep those slaggin' kids in line.
Ophi: *amused, turns to startlement when Sweep pokes his head out from under the couch*
Sweep: *Chirr?* Who you?
Dread: *looks down from his hand* ...So 'Clipse did it.
Desi: *SULKING NOW* >/
Show: *Calming down, headshake* no...Sweep was in a bag WakeJumper brought back from the Christmas Elf in the Nexus...
Dread: *absently puts an arm around Desi's waist* Christmas Elf?
Show: *nods* Yeah...I got a flask of unique high grade, and Desi got...*trying to remember* Oh yeah...a boom box and some cleaning cloths...WakeJumper got a couple of CDs, Lumen got a toy truck, and Eclipse's gift was Sweep.
Desi: *Still sulking, kthx*
Show: Oh! and Solar got an electric blanket.
Dread: Huh. Weird.
Show: *nods* yeah, what was really weird is that she knew about everything that had happened in the past year...
Dread: .... *his shell makes a deeep rumble at that*
Desi: *soft snort, absently rubbing at a bruise under her sleeve* She not only knew, she made Showtime look like an aft-head by reciting her offenses for the year back to her.
Dread: .... *holo's expression darkens with suspicion*
Desi: *Smirk* The look on Showtime's faceplates was hysterical.
Show: *razzes Desi*
Ophi: Ah, ¿Uno de los ayudantes de Papá Noel?
Dread: ....Papá Noel? ...Santa Clause?
Show: *glances at Desi, both femmes shrug*
Ophi: Es posiblé...Papá Noel trae los regalos a los niños por todo el mundo, pero solamente si son buenos. ¿Si no, consiguen terrones del carbón… quizá que es quién proporcionada los regalos consiguió? *shrugs*
Dread: ...I guess he has to exist somewhere.
Ophi: *small smile* Maybe this year, I can bring los niños de la robusteza to see the Christmas Elf...
Dread: *reaches down with his spare hand to lift her and the littles up beside Desi against his chest and next to his holoform*
Dread: *and then his holo puts its other arm around Ophi's waist*
Ophi: *amusement is clear, even as a young blond PINpoints in* Oy! Allen! up here!
Allen: *looks up, and up and up* O_O Whoah...
Dread: *holo smirks. Look, man, I got the girls* *and the babies*
Allen: ...*Worried! is looking for Ariel now!*
Desi: *Still sulking, watches in amusement as Showtime's holo baps Allen*
Show: *Holo shakes head* They're fine. Dreadnought won't hurt them...in fact, I think they like him. they're recharging...*'Bot shifts positions and gently rocks lilSunhalo*
Dread: *kitty nuzzles Ophi's head without realizing it*
Ophi: *laughs*
Desi: ...what a dork.*regarding Allen*
Dread: *holo smirks some more*
Ophi: Okay, time to let Ariel down, before her father blows a fuse...*highly amused at how tightly-wound Allen's gotten in mere moments*
Dread: Aw. *his shell gently lifts the tiny femme and presents her*
Allen: *WORRIED PAPA, checking the still-recharging Ariel over*
Ariel: *sleepy blink* Slag.
Ophi, Allen, Show-holo: O_O
Show: *Cracking up*
Ophi: *Also cracking up, leaning on Dread's holo for support*
Dread: *hugs her supportively and hides his sheepishness. Wonders also if Ariel remembers the rest of what Bumble said*
Dion: Slagging Slagger! ^^
Desi: ...*SNERK*
Dread: *heh*
Show: *eyeing lilSunhalo* Don't you dare...
Orion: *Oblivious, still sleeping*
lilHalo: Frag off.
Show: ...
Dread: *blink!*
Desi: *Cracking up, holding sides* S-Sunhalo! *laughing too hard to scold the little Seeklet*
Show: *GLARE AT DESI* You're NOT helping!
Ophi: *Cackling* Oh man! At least she isn't picking up Denver's ability to swear! *too amused for her own good*
Allen: *looks horrified*
lilHalo: I want my slaggin' momma! I'm fraggin sick of this!
Dread: *eyebrows*
Desi: *deep breath, stern Momma-mode* Sunhalo, that's enough.
lilHalo: Thhhrrrpt!
Dread: ... that's your kid alright.
Desi: *moving to climb down so she can at least get close to lilHalo, wincing slightly as she accidentally hits one of her bruises*
Dread: *lifts her down, but keeps Ophi*
Dread: *...And then reaches down and helps himself to Show's holo*
Show: *Squeak!* *Holo baps Dread as the femme lifts Desi so she's on lilHalo's level*
Dread: *grins*
Ophi: *Amused, headshake* I wouldn't do that, amigo...Show's a Lambo lady...
Show: *SQUEAK, Doorwings UP in pre-fritz angle*
Desi: *moves so she can at least hug lilHalo* If I could've avoided getting LOL'd, I would have...and we wouldn't have to worry about this...*quietly*
lilHalo: *afraid to hug her, instead just rests her head on her and whimpers a bit*
Dread: I ain't afraid of no Lambo. *snort*
Desi: *making soft clicking noises in an attempt to soothe lilHalo as well as she can, begins quietly singing the same song she uses as a lullaby*
Ophi: Not even if the Lambo is Sunstreaker? *Smirks at another squeak from Show* You miiiight wanna get the lil one and Des from Show, before Show goes on the fritz...
Dread: *reaches down and takes them gently, and then also gently sets Show's holo down* Sunstreaker's nothing
Show: *holo flickers out as the femme wobbles, before her knees buckle and a little bit of smoke comes off of her helm*
Desi: *continues singing, pays no mind to the fritzing dork*
Dread: *worried rumble and puts his hand on Show*
lilHolo: *snuggling*
Allen: *holding onto Ariel, watching and shaking his head* At least it's not a primary system that does that...
Ophi: *confused* Huh?
Allen: I watched Ratchet fix her one time...it's a secondary system that's attatched to part of her CPU...the part responsible for how she responds to certain emotions....*shrug*
Show: *Rebooting, will be available shortly!*
Dread: Desinex, you want me to tease you about Solarflare?
Desi: *frown, still singing, flips Dread the bird*
Dread: We don't do weird slag like that where I come from.
Show: *finished rebooting* ugh...what happened?
Allen: *deadpans* Systems crash.
Dread: Desi's making nasty suggestions.
Show: ...O///O
Allen: *would bap Dread's holo, but is too far to reach* Quit that! She'll fritz again!
Dread: *frowns* Sorry, Showtime
Show: *trying not to fritz*
Desi: It's a minor glitch in her construction...she used to fritz worse when we were younger.
lilHalo: *going to sleep*
Dread: *frown* Can't Hatchet fix it?
Desi: *gently rubbing lilHalo's back as well as she can* He's tried...but like I said, it used to be worse. I'm thinking she'll eventually get over it...
Dread: Find that dead Bumblebee in the Nexus and get a shot from her Allspark.
Desi: *raised eyebrow, will ask later*
Dread: *holo looks at his handful and gives a pleased rumble. Still has girls and baby!*
Ophi: *amused, partially lost, but amused nonetheless*
Desi: *shifts positions slightly, trying to hide how tired and achey she is feeling right now*
Dread: *gently rubs her back* You need to sleep.
Desi: *frowns, is about to protest that, yawns and rubs at her eyes from behind her sunglasses*
Dread: *kisses her on the head, and then gently sets she and lilHalo down*
lilHalo: :\ *gives him a dirty look*
Desi: *worried, doesn't want to voice her concerns, mostly about where she'll be able to sleep since she's a lot smaller than before*
Dread: *looks at her and waits, then frowns a little*
Sunhalo: *hunkers down and offers a hand to his tiny alt* Is something wrong, ma'am?
Desi: *ducks head, mumbles something about not knowing*
Sunhalo: *looks at Showtime*
Show: *mostly recovered from fritzing* She's never been human...but, I think if I get some blankets...*gets up* The US government supplied us with blankets...I just have to find out where they're at...
Allen: We'll help look. Right, Ariel? *gets a nod from his daughter, and the two follow Showtime as she goes to locate the blankets*
Dread: *watches them, and then gently sets Ophi down and turns off his holoform. Picks up his towel and puts it away. And yes, there's still no sign of bittyBee*
Ophi: Wasn't there another little one? *Frowning*
Dread: *pats his chest* She's recharging.
Ophi: *headtilt, gets Dion-snuggles* What, you got some sorta storage space there?
Dread: *rumbles, and then kneels down and opens it so she can get a glimpse of the towel lined cubby and one little yellow foot peeking out*
Ophi: *Quiet* Awwwww! ^^
Dread: *shuts the cubby* *gruffly* Anyway. I gotta go check on the old man. I think Two's layin' on him again.
Ophi: *nods* We'll take care 'a stuff from here.
lilHalo: Fraggin' slag....
Dread: .... Okay. Tell 'Clipse 'n Wake I came to see them.
Desi: *tries to soothe lilHalo again* Shhh...everything's going to be okay...
Ophi: Will do...Hasta luego, mi amigo.
Dread: *slight grin, then nods to Sunhalo and walks out with the young bot flanking him*
Show: *returns with armload of blankets, and soon everyone is coaxing Desinex and lilHalo into going to their quarters, Desinex having been wrapped in several layers of blankets*
((Co-written with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pastwillhaunt))
*gently thunderous knocking on the front door*
Galvatron: *sighs as the sound startles Draco and wakes him up from almost being asleep. Walks out to go walk the sparklet in he and Cho's quarters*
Desi: *still sulking, arms crossed over chest, SULK SULK SULK*
knocking: *happens again*
Eclipse: *coming off of shift, hears knocking, headtilts and goes to greet whoever's there*
Deadnought: *grins down at her, one hand cupped close to his lower chest as a burly young white mech with black racing stripes peers around his legs, and a red Seeker stands behind him* Hey, 'Clips, was startin' ta wonder if anybody was home.
Eclipse: ^_^ Things have been a bit chaotic around here...*quietly, to Dreadnought* Don't make a big deal of this, but Desinex got hit with a LOL...and she's kinda in a bad mood, but then again, she's always a bit grouchy, so just make sure you don't make a big deal of it...she looks different...
Dreadnought: *scans* ...She the human in the rec room?
Sam: *from Dread's hand* Human?
Eclipse: *nods* She was getting something and somehow she got LOL'd, and came back as a human and she's already been squished twice by her daughter and she's not too thrilled with being human, especially since Ironhide gave her a bit of a hard time about it earlier...*realizes she's rambling, ducks head sheepishly*
Dreadnought: *rumbles and steps inside, then nods to the mechs following him.* This's Sunhalo. And the other guy's Sureshot, Sam's son. *lowers his hand to set Sam down* And that's Sam.
Sam: *feeling pretty stoked at being able to sit up, has a bittyBee sleeping in his lap* Hi. :D
Sunhalo: *nods seriously, blue eyes studying Eclipse*
Sureshot: *shakes his booty and plays music* Hi!
Eclipse: ^_^ Hi! Lumen's with Bluestreak at the moment, and WakeJumper's busy helping Ratchet with something, and I don't know what Solar Flare and Dad have gotten up to so I can't introduce you to them, but if they were here I would and you could meet my family...*Rambling again, gleefully*
Desi: *Scowl, throws pillow at Eclipse's head* >/
Eclipse: *not fazed in the least, continues rambling, until she gets pounced on by a little red sparkling, a little pink sparkling, and a little orange sparkling, all of whom are giggling as a young woman's voice calls after them*
Ophi: Oy! Mas dispasio, por favor, I can't keep up with you three!
bittyBee: *pops awake, stares, squeaks! Hops down and makes like a little football linebacker through the sparklets as she roars away down the hall*
Sureshot: Ohslag, I'm after her! *steps over sparklets and Ophi on his way down the hall*
Sam: :o
Dareadnought: *facepalm*
Ophi: ...*blink blink, leaning on braces a bit* ¿Qué...suceder?
Dreadnought: Bumble decided to assert her dominance.
Sam: Sorry about that.
Orion Pax: *GLEE, will chase bitty!*
Ariel: *Squeaks and follows after Orion, leaving a puzzled Dion behind, and a defeated-looking Ophi*
Dion: *Puzzled look at Dreadnought* ?
Dread: *offers the little guy his hand* You gonna let us in, 'Clipse? Or leave us standin' in the hall?
Sam: *to Ophi* Hi.
Eclipse: Oh! *Sheepish, steps aside* ^^;;
Dion: *smile, climbs up onto Dreadnought's hand* n_n *Soft click*
Ophi: *nods at Sam* I'd wave, but then I'd lose my balance...
Desi: *Watching while trying to feign disinterest*
Dread: *offers Ophi his other hand. Yes, this is a hint of the Jazz charm around the ladies....* You wanna ride?
Sam: Uh... yeah, I know what that's like.
Sureshot: *in the distance down the hall* Heh!
Ophi: *smiles, nods and manuevers so she can sit in Dread's hand* Muchas gracias, pero... ¿Cuál es tu nombre? *to Dread*
Dreadnought: *lifts she and Dion carefully and holds them close to his chest* I'm Dreadnought. I met Eclipse and Desinex in the nexxi. *heads toward the rec room, keeping an eye on Sam. Sunhalo follows him silently*
Eclipse: *startled by a comm, makes her leave now, waves heads down the hall*
Ophi: Ah...*chuckle* I've been to a Nexus...The one con el feo como muestra del pecado...
Desi: English, femme, English. *Scowl*
Dreadnought: Yeah... I've shot that slaggin.... shot that thing a couple times. *looks after Eclipse with surprise, but goes into the rec room with Sam's electric chair close behind him*
Ophi: *rolls her eyes at Desi, is about to comment, double-takes* O_O ¿Qué te sucedió? *gets bapped in the face by a pillow, thrown by Desi*
Show: *Playing more music over her speakers, heading for Rec room* C'mon kiddo, let's get some energon and see if your Mommy's feeling better... ^_^
lilHalo: *click... notice the biiig guy* 0_0 *CLING!*
Show: *clung to, blink blink, flutters wings, spots Dreadnought* Hey Dreadnought! ^_^ *isn't fazed by him being here at all* What's up?
Dreadnought: *settles carefully to sit on the floor, and then offers to let his passengers go if they want it* Just come ta visit. Thought I'd introduce the runt there to her alternate. 'N let Bumble have a little fun with other little bots that ain't scared'a her.
Sam: *fiddles with joystick and accidentally spins his chair* Whoa! Um... okay, don't do that again, Sam.
Sunhalo: *standing at parade rest near Dreadnought and watching everyone*
Ophi: *Snerks at Sam, moves to sit on the floor, and gets Dion-snuggles* Next time, set your brake first.
Show: Ah...I take it Orion and Ariel are playing with Bumble at the moment?
Desi: *SULK*
*something crashes somewhere down the hall*
Sureshot: Whoa! *laughs* Okay, go this way.
Dreadnought: Yeah, and her son's keepin' 'em outta trouble.
Sam: Yeah... hey, I just got the chair. I'm learning all the bugs :D
Show: *flutters wings in amusement, gently rubs lilSunhalo's back*
Ophi: yeah...I know what that's like...*slightly strained smile, gets cheekpats from Dion, accompanied by soft clicking* Oh, kiddo, I'm fine...
Desi: *has had enough sitting on the couch, will climb down now, or at least try to...*
Sureshot: Slag! Um, I mean... oh, hi, 'Hide!
Dreadnought: Oh oh. *smirk*
Sam: It's my first experiment with sitting up straight. *face falls a little, tries to squirm*
Dreadnought: *big hand comes down and adjusts Sam's position*
Orion: *Delighted giggling, gleefully repeating the swearword*
Show: *Snerk*
Ariel: *giggle* He saida bad word!!!
Ophi: *understanding nod* Just remember, this is the hardest part. It gets easier each time you do it.
Sureshot: It was an accident! *laughing*
Dreadhought: *brown optics twinkling... noooo, he didn't bring Sureshot for the fun of it... what makes you think that?* Hey, Desinex.
Sam: Yeah... that's what Doc said.
Desi: *Startled, loses grip, falls on aft* Great. Like I didn't have enough injuries...*grumble grumble, distracted wave*
Dreadnought: *reaches over and gently picks up the humanized femme, his big fingers careful and respectful*
bittyBee: SLAG! Slagging slagger, 'Hide!
Sureshot: BUMBLEBEE! :o
Sam: :o
Sunhalo: ....
lilHalo: No... 'Hide's a fragger.
Show: *gives Desi a look*
Desi: *amused smirk*
Orion and Ariel: ...*GLEEE, repeating of bittyBee with gusto! Will run around the grown-ups' feet, shouting*
WJ: ...Didn't expect to hear that on my way to get energon...*amused rumbling, sounds of someone dodging someone else, WJ enters the common room* X3
Dreadnought: *gently settling Desi on his knee, doesn't look up as WJ enters* Hey, Wake. Sup?
bittyBee: *laughing her itty bitty aft off*
lilHalo: *has noticed Sunhalo* 0_0
Sunhalo: *looks back with polite curiosity*
Sam: ...She got all that from Kup?
WJ: Ah, not much. Helping 'Jack and Solar with something...I'm on energon duty...and Eclipse is keeping Red Alert busy in case something explodes...I'm also taking bets on how long that'll be. *cheeky grin*
Desi: *rolls eyes, slight sulk*
Show: Sounds like she picked up some from 'Hide.
Dreadnought: *will rub Desi's back with a finger as he grins at WJ* What're the odds?
Sam: She's not around Ironhide that much, though. He's on the other side of the country.
bittyBee: Fraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag!
WJ: *pulls datapad out of subspace* Smokie's got ten to one odds of it happening in the next ten minutes...Five to one odds of the next hour...
Dreadnought: *turns his head and engages sensors* Nope. Four point two nine eight minutes.
WJ: ...Frag. *tosses datapad and RUNS to get to the lab*
Sam: :o *tries to get his hands to obey him so he can cover his ears*
Dreadnought: *engages sound damping feild and warns Sureshot to do the same for the bitties*
Desi: *covering her own ears*
Lab: *GOES A'SPLODY*
Dreadnought: I was a nanoclick off.
Sam: ... I didn't hear anything.
Dread: *drops the feild, and hey.. there's the aftermath!*
Bluestreak: *trying to comfort a terrified Lumen, while running towards the lab to make sure everyone else is OK*
Sureshot: *comes in with armload of yelling sparklets*
Ariel: *CLINGING*
bittyBee: DO GAIN!
Ophi: *carefully transfers Dion to the floor, gets up with minor difficulty, hurries as well as she can to get Orion Pax, who is shaking like a leaf*
Ariel: Nononononono! ;_;
bittyBee: No... :o
Sureshot: *rubbing little backs as he hands Orion over*
Ophi: *immediately begins trying to comfort the little mech, via quiet reassurances in spanish*
Dreadnought: *scanning in that direction again*
Ariel: *whimpering, wants Allen now!*
Eclipse: *Runs past Rec Room, flailing and spazzing to put Bluestreak to shame*
Dread: Relax. Nobody's hurt.
Show: *turns up her audios* Is it over?
bittyBee: *other bitty's crying is making her cry*
Dread: *takes bittyBee* Yeah, and everybody's fine.
Dread: Except whoever that was that just nearly stepped on Cho and got punched in the knee....
Desi: ...*snerk* Probably Bluestreak or Eclipse...then again, 'Jack could've...WakeJumper's usually pretty careful around the smaller 'bots.
Dread: *sets Desi down and gets up to go lift the doors off WJ*
Sam: *strangely silent for a Sam as he watches everything go on. His face looks pale*
Ophi: *shaking a bit once Dreadnought's gone from the Rec Room, has to set Orion Pax down as she sits down with her head between her legs*
Dread: *sets doors aside and shakes his head at Wheeljack* You scared the hell outta Ophi 'n Sam 'n the little ones. *turns and goes back to the rec room, where his big hand goes protectively over Ophi*
Sureshot: *reclining Sam's chair and talking to him quietly*
WJ: *Slightly shaken, is okay, has gotten pounced on by Eclipse and Lumen, and is getting ordered by Ratchet to take the rest of the day off or be duct taped to his berth*
Sam: I... needta go home.
Dread: Go ahead, man.
Sureshot: *gently picks Sam up and then PINpoints them out*
Dread: *rumbles softly and rubs Ophi's back with a finger*
Ophi: *Quietly, more to herself than anybody present* He's gone. He won't come back. He can't hurt you anymore. This was just 'Jack being imprudente...
Dread: *scoops her and Dion and Orion Pax up and holds them close to his chest, then rumbles softly* You're alright, lady.
Show: *concerned as she watches Ophi continue to shake, even as Dion and Orion snuggle against her* *gently*Ophi...it's okay. Nobody will think any less of you if you let go...
Ariel: *discontent whine, moves to scale Dreadnought's leg, so she can join the snuggle pile*
Dread: *gets that baby too, then reaches into one of his storage compartments and offers Ophi a big fluffy white towel*
Ophi: *wibbles a bit, breaks down, letting go of all the stress she's been through since the incident with Starscream many months prior*
Dread: *turns his back on everyone else, not minding that he's now facing Sunhalo, who is watching with silent compassion as the big Decepticon gently closes his hand around the sparklets and the sobbing woman and clicks to her softly in Cybertronian*
Ophi: *after awhile, begins to quiet down enough to be understandable, gives a quiet thanks in Cybertronian(despite what anyone thought, she HAD been paying attention when Showtime had tried teaching her!), and snuggles with Orion Pax*
Dread: *voice a deeeep soft rumble that she can probably feel* It's no problem. Just give it a few more clicks. *tucks the end of the towel around she and the sparklets*
Orion: *clicking and snuggling against Momma now, kthx!*
Dion: *gentle cheekpats, snuggles Ariel, who is still a bit upset about being scared earlier*
Dread: *rumbles to them as softly as his big engines can*
Ophi: *rubs Orion's back, and takes a few deep breaths, before nodding* Estoy bien...
Dread: *gently sets Ophi and the sparklets on the human size couch, once more tucking the towel around them*
Desi: *thoughtful look, glances at Dreadnought from behind her sunglasses, and clicks a bit in as much Cybertronian as her vocal chords can handle* [stronger than] *scowls as voice cracks when she tries to get the right pitch for what she wants to say* [thought].
Dread: *looks at her* [what?]
Desi: *points at Ophi* [Strong. Stronger than] *points at self, while making a face about how idiotic she sounds*
Dread: [Stronger than you?]
Desi: *nods* [Stronger than Optimus. Remnant of spark.] *voice cracks again*
Dread: *reaches down and scoops her up* Here, whisper in English.
Desi: Ophi is a remnant of a spark fragment from a mech who still lives...*glances at Ophi, a sad look in her optics* She, Allen Walker, and Denver Mackenzie were kidnapped by Starscream because he wanted to rebuild the Decepticon forces here on Earth...I don't know how he found out about them being remnants...but he did...from what Ironhide told me, Ophi nearly died from what Starscream did...I've never seen the old mech that fragged off...
Dread: ...She was born that way?
Desi: *Shrug* I guess. I don't know the details, just that those three bitlets are the spark fragments...only they're not fragments anymore.
Dread: *nods, a thoughtful look in his dark optics*
Desi: Even after all she's been through...she's not let it stop her...When I met her, she was still in a wheelchair...
Dread: She's a fighter. That's good.
Desi: *nods, wry smirk* She'd have made a heck of a Decepticon...
Dread: A real one.
Desi: *Scowl, reaches to bap Dread on the helm a little* Oh, and I'm not?
Dread: *slight smirk and a rumble* Never said that.
Desi: *Scowl* Fragger*chuckles quietly as she watches Orion nodding off on Ophi's lap*
Dread: *rumbles softly* Guess I should head for home. I came to tell Eclipse and Wake about Fireflight, but they're busy.
Desi: Want one of us to pass the message on?
Dread: Nah. It ain't that kinda news.
Desi: ah...*shrugs a little, before stretching and popping her back. Cue the facemaking again* I am looking FORWARD to when this LOL wears off.
Dread: *more gentle back rubbing* I bet. *a flicker, and his holodriver is sitting next to her*
Desi: *raised eyebrow*
Dread: *raises one back* Everything looks out of shape from this angle
Desi: *snerk* and way too fragging big.
Dread: Yeah. *big black guy with dreads pulls a face*
Show: *has noticed, will say nothing, but is tempted to add her own holo to the group*
Desi: At least you don't have to worry about fuel...*makes another face* Humans like the strangest things.
Show: *amused 'wing flick*
Dread: ... dead stuff.
Desi: Among other things...*still can't remember what happened the other night when Captain Lennox and the other Rangers came to have Poker Night with some of the 'Bots, as she had her first taste of alcohol, and more than likely had more than she should've*
Dread: It's all dead. :\
Desi: *shrug*
Show: *smirk, comms Dread*//I have a vid of her after she got drunk the other night...it's actually pretty funny...she spent an hour arguing with the plant in the corner about who was better dressed.//
Dread: 0_o //Slag... are you trying to get fragged, femme?//
Show: //Nah, I had to play Designated Driver for most of the Rangers. They have bad taste in music.//
Dread: ... You talkin' 'bout Will 'n Bobby?
Show: *nods, innocent expression as Desi blinks and then glares at her*
Show: //They're not the ones with the worst taste though.// *will say no more*
Dread: No, that's the twins
Show: *Snerk*
Desi: *back and forth between Show and Dread* >/ Quit talking about stuff I have no idea about!
Dread: *leans his holo over and kisses her on the head*
Desi: O_O *BLUSHES while Showtime cracks up*
Dread: *griiin*
Ophi: *looks up, SNERK* *sing-song tone*¡Desi tiene un novio! ¡Desi tiene un novio! *laughs*
Desi: *Spazzes*
Dread: Nah, she don't want a jerk like me.
Desi: *AGREEING WITH DREAD, Attempting to repeatedly bap Dread's holo with fists!* >///<
Show: *Cracking up, can't speak*
Ophi: Oh, so you're available? *Amused*
Dread: *laughing and holding her wrists* Nah.... I don't got time for interdimensional romance. I gotta keep those slaggin' kids in line.
Ophi: *amused, turns to startlement when Sweep pokes his head out from under the couch*
Sweep: *Chirr?* Who you?
Dread: *looks down from his hand* ...So 'Clipse did it.
Desi: *SULKING NOW* >/
Show: *Calming down, headshake* no...Sweep was in a bag WakeJumper brought back from the Christmas Elf in the Nexus...
Dread: *absently puts an arm around Desi's waist* Christmas Elf?
Show: *nods* Yeah...I got a flask of unique high grade, and Desi got...*trying to remember* Oh yeah...a boom box and some cleaning cloths...WakeJumper got a couple of CDs, Lumen got a toy truck, and Eclipse's gift was Sweep.
Desi: *Still sulking, kthx*
Show: Oh! and Solar got an electric blanket.
Dread: Huh. Weird.
Show: *nods* yeah, what was really weird is that she knew about everything that had happened in the past year...
Dread: .... *his shell makes a deeep rumble at that*
Desi: *soft snort, absently rubbing at a bruise under her sleeve* She not only knew, she made Showtime look like an aft-head by reciting her offenses for the year back to her.
Dread: .... *holo's expression darkens with suspicion*
Desi: *Smirk* The look on Showtime's faceplates was hysterical.
Show: *razzes Desi*
Ophi: Ah, ¿Uno de los ayudantes de Papá Noel?
Dread: ....Papá Noel? ...Santa Clause?
Show: *glances at Desi, both femmes shrug*
Ophi: Es posiblé...Papá Noel trae los regalos a los niños por todo el mundo, pero solamente si son buenos. ¿Si no, consiguen terrones del carbón… quizá que es quién proporcionada los regalos consiguió? *shrugs*
Dread: ...I guess he has to exist somewhere.
Ophi: *small smile* Maybe this year, I can bring los niños de la robusteza to see the Christmas Elf...
Dread: *reaches down with his spare hand to lift her and the littles up beside Desi against his chest and next to his holoform*
Dread: *and then his holo puts its other arm around Ophi's waist*
Ophi: *amusement is clear, even as a young blond PINpoints in* Oy! Allen! up here!
Allen: *looks up, and up and up* O_O Whoah...
Dread: *holo smirks. Look, man, I got the girls* *and the babies*
Allen: ...*Worried! is looking for Ariel now!*
Desi: *Still sulking, watches in amusement as Showtime's holo baps Allen*
Show: *Holo shakes head* They're fine. Dreadnought won't hurt them...in fact, I think they like him. they're recharging...*'Bot shifts positions and gently rocks lilSunhalo*
Dread: *kitty nuzzles Ophi's head without realizing it*
Ophi: *laughs*
Desi: ...what a dork.*regarding Allen*
Dread: *holo smirks some more*
Ophi: Okay, time to let Ariel down, before her father blows a fuse...*highly amused at how tightly-wound Allen's gotten in mere moments*
Dread: Aw. *his shell gently lifts the tiny femme and presents her*
Allen: *WORRIED PAPA, checking the still-recharging Ariel over*
Ariel: *sleepy blink* Slag.
Ophi, Allen, Show-holo: O_O
Show: *Cracking up*
Ophi: *Also cracking up, leaning on Dread's holo for support*
Dread: *hugs her supportively and hides his sheepishness. Wonders also if Ariel remembers the rest of what Bumble said*
Dion: Slagging Slagger! ^^
Desi: ...*SNERK*
Dread: *heh*
Show: *eyeing lilSunhalo* Don't you dare...
Orion: *Oblivious, still sleeping*
lilHalo: Frag off.
Show: ...
Dread: *blink!*
Desi: *Cracking up, holding sides* S-Sunhalo! *laughing too hard to scold the little Seeklet*
Show: *GLARE AT DESI* You're NOT helping!
Ophi: *Cackling* Oh man! At least she isn't picking up Denver's ability to swear! *too amused for her own good*
Allen: *looks horrified*
lilHalo: I want my slaggin' momma! I'm fraggin sick of this!
Dread: *eyebrows*
Desi: *deep breath, stern Momma-mode* Sunhalo, that's enough.
lilHalo: Thhhrrrpt!
Dread: ... that's your kid alright.
Desi: *moving to climb down so she can at least get close to lilHalo, wincing slightly as she accidentally hits one of her bruises*
Dread: *lifts her down, but keeps Ophi*
Dread: *...And then reaches down and helps himself to Show's holo*
Show: *Squeak!* *Holo baps Dread as the femme lifts Desi so she's on lilHalo's level*
Dread: *grins*
Ophi: *Amused, headshake* I wouldn't do that, amigo...Show's a Lambo lady...
Show: *SQUEAK, Doorwings UP in pre-fritz angle*
Desi: *moves so she can at least hug lilHalo* If I could've avoided getting LOL'd, I would have...and we wouldn't have to worry about this...*quietly*
lilHalo: *afraid to hug her, instead just rests her head on her and whimpers a bit*
Dread: I ain't afraid of no Lambo. *snort*
Desi: *making soft clicking noises in an attempt to soothe lilHalo as well as she can, begins quietly singing the same song she uses as a lullaby*
Ophi: Not even if the Lambo is Sunstreaker? *Smirks at another squeak from Show* You miiiight wanna get the lil one and Des from Show, before Show goes on the fritz...
Dread: *reaches down and takes them gently, and then also gently sets Show's holo down* Sunstreaker's nothing
Show: *holo flickers out as the femme wobbles, before her knees buckle and a little bit of smoke comes off of her helm*
Desi: *continues singing, pays no mind to the fritzing dork*
Dread: *worried rumble and puts his hand on Show*
lilHolo: *snuggling*
Allen: *holding onto Ariel, watching and shaking his head* At least it's not a primary system that does that...
Ophi: *confused* Huh?
Allen: I watched Ratchet fix her one time...it's a secondary system that's attatched to part of her CPU...the part responsible for how she responds to certain emotions....*shrug*
Show: *Rebooting, will be available shortly!*
Dread: Desinex, you want me to tease you about Solarflare?
Desi: *frown, still singing, flips Dread the bird*
Dread: We don't do weird slag like that where I come from.
Show: *finished rebooting* ugh...what happened?
Allen: *deadpans* Systems crash.
Dread: Desi's making nasty suggestions.
Show: ...O///O
Allen: *would bap Dread's holo, but is too far to reach* Quit that! She'll fritz again!
Dread: *frowns* Sorry, Showtime
Show: *trying not to fritz*
Desi: It's a minor glitch in her construction...she used to fritz worse when we were younger.
lilHalo: *going to sleep*
Dread: *frown* Can't Hatchet fix it?
Desi: *gently rubbing lilHalo's back as well as she can* He's tried...but like I said, it used to be worse. I'm thinking she'll eventually get over it...
Dread: Find that dead Bumblebee in the Nexus and get a shot from her Allspark.
Desi: *raised eyebrow, will ask later*
Dread: *holo looks at his handful and gives a pleased rumble. Still has girls and baby!*
Ophi: *amused, partially lost, but amused nonetheless*
Desi: *shifts positions slightly, trying to hide how tired and achey she is feeling right now*
Dread: *gently rubs her back* You need to sleep.
Desi: *frowns, is about to protest that, yawns and rubs at her eyes from behind her sunglasses*
Dread: *kisses her on the head, and then gently sets she and lilHalo down*
lilHalo: :\ *gives him a dirty look*
Desi: *worried, doesn't want to voice her concerns, mostly about where she'll be able to sleep since she's a lot smaller than before*
Dread: *looks at her and waits, then frowns a little*
Sunhalo: *hunkers down and offers a hand to his tiny alt* Is something wrong, ma'am?
Desi: *ducks head, mumbles something about not knowing*
Sunhalo: *looks at Showtime*
Show: *mostly recovered from fritzing* She's never been human...but, I think if I get some blankets...*gets up* The US government supplied us with blankets...I just have to find out where they're at...
Allen: We'll help look. Right, Ariel? *gets a nod from his daughter, and the two follow Showtime as she goes to locate the blankets*
Dread: *watches them, and then gently sets Ophi down and turns off his holoform. Picks up his towel and puts it away. And yes, there's still no sign of bittyBee*
Ophi: Wasn't there another little one? *Frowning*
Dread: *pats his chest* She's recharging.
Ophi: *headtilt, gets Dion-snuggles* What, you got some sorta storage space there?
Dread: *rumbles, and then kneels down and opens it so she can get a glimpse of the towel lined cubby and one little yellow foot peeking out*
Ophi: *Quiet* Awwwww! ^^
Dread: *shuts the cubby* *gruffly* Anyway. I gotta go check on the old man. I think Two's layin' on him again.
Ophi: *nods* We'll take care 'a stuff from here.
lilHalo: Fraggin' slag....
Dread: .... Okay. Tell 'Clipse 'n Wake I came to see them.
Desi: *tries to soothe lilHalo again* Shhh...everything's going to be okay...
Ophi: Will do...Hasta luego, mi amigo.
Dread: *slight grin, then nods to Sunhalo and walks out with the young bot flanking him*
Show: *returns with armload of blankets, and soon everyone is coaxing Desinex and lilHalo into going to their quarters, Desinex having been wrapped in several layers of blankets*
