dens_tf_den | mgv, Hidden Mountain Valley, Relaxing

Megatron: *laying in the sun in a sheltered mountain valley, Beryl cuddled to his side and a few sparklets on his chest.

Kriti: *snuggling Bumblebee and purring quietly*

WakeJumper: *having a nice doze on Megatron's chest, looks perfectly content with the world*

Wheelie: *using WakeJumper as a pillow*

Rumrunner: *luxurious sprawl with his feet on Bumblebee*

Bumblebee: *in one of his totally relaxed and soundly in stasis moments*

Megatron: *small smile and optics half shuttered. He's happy*

Kriti: *purring ceases for a few moments, then she's happily 'talking' to someone in her dream in a series of almost inaudiable clicks, before she settles down again and resumes purring*

Megatron: *lifts his head slightly to look at the little femme, then gently rubs her back with two fingers before turning his head to look over at other rocky ledges that contain a few of the stronger inhabitants of the repair bay* How are you feeling, Viisaus?

Viisaus: *unshutters his optic to give Megatron a small smile from where he's laying and enjoying the sunlight on his plating* *quietly* I am feeling alright, thank you, Megatron.

Megatron: *gladness shows on his craggy face* The pain is eased?

Viisaus: *small nod, before he's chuckling quietly* Coming up here was a good idea...

Megatron: Yes. *quietly* Though I feel as though I should be with the guards rather than here in the sun.

Bumblebee: *hand grasps at Megatron's armor as though to keep him from going anywhere*

Kriti: *snuggaBee*

Viisaus: *quietly* Every now and then, taking a break is an advisable move, Megatron. Torque and the others would report if there were problems that required your attention.

Beryl: *quietly, in her husky voice* Besides, you're being useful. *startles a bit then and chuckles as she feels movement in her chest*

Megatron: *rubs her back and sighs, once more looking up at the untainted blue sky*

WakeJumper: *curling up a bit more, clicks quietly as he dreams*

Viisaus: *another soft chuckle* I suppose congratulations are in order?

Megatron: *gives him a quizzical look that holds a bit of furtiveness* Congratulations?

Beryl: *hiding her smile against Megatron's side*

Viisaus: *has that knowing glimmer in his optic, and a small smile on his face*

Megatron: *continues to look quizzical... though his mouth curves just slightly at one corner*

Viisaus: *very soft 'heh', before he's settling back into the light doze he was in*

Mistfire: *sitting over on a highish and narrow ledge by herself, leaning back and crunching on something thoughtfully as she waits for Scattershot to come back*

Scattershot: *Very soft startled sound, just came back from trying to locate his dark-colored alternate and failing*

Mistfire: *looks down at him* What's up, Gorgeous?

Scattershot: What're you chewing on? *sounds a bit worried about his still slightly loopy mate*

Mistfire: *drops him a bit of copper ore*

Scattershot: Ooooo! *and then he's chomping on the bit of copper ore and making happy sounds*

Mistfire: *grins*

Swindle: *peeks over from where she's sitting in the arms of her sleeping mate* What's this I hear?

mgScattershot: *From the shadow of the ridge* The pink dork's got copper.

Scattershot: *Startles*

Mistfire: *knew he was there. Is smirking now*

Swindle: Copper?

mgScattershot: Yeah. *will carefully climb down to where Swindle is and offer her a piece of copper he found earlier* It's not bad.

Swindle: *looks at her peg leg and grins as she looks back up at him* How much?

Mistfire: *drops another piece of ore on her mate* Yup, she's a Swindle.

mgScattershot: *chuckles and names a very fair price*

Swindle: *dickers just because she can*

mgScattershot: *amused, will gladly haggle the price*

Scattershot: *happily chomping away* ^^

Swindle: *finally agrees to a price, but then pauses in reaching for the treat and looks around for her son*

Trouble: *doesn't really need another piece of copper, kthx. Busy mining over there under Megatron's ledge*

mgScattershot: *more chuckles* Want me to go get him?

Swndle: Nah. I see he's securing his own assets. *grins and bites the lump of ore*

Blitzwing: *scowls in his stasis at the crunch and hugs her more closely*

mgScattershot: *Snerks and scoots off to find some shade*

Mistfire: *munch munch munch PING!* *blink blink* *snerk*

Scattershot: *trying to get up to the ridge when he hears the ping* *acks and scrabbles for a handhold*

Trouble: *comes over and boosts him up with a hand and then his shoulders as footholds*

Mistfire: *gently tapping her belly* 'N whaddyou want? Hmmm? Can't a girl even have a snack around here? *chuckle*

Magenta: *PING*

Scattershot: *thanks Trouble, scrabbles the rest of the way up. Then he's scooting over to Mistfire with a silly grin on his face*

Mistfire: *looks at him and snerks, then makes like hiding her belly*

Scattershot: *Wibble*

Mistfire: *relents* Not really a lotta room up here fer snugglin', Gorgeous. *leans over and gives him a peck*

Scattershot: Aww... Okay... *will likely snuggle later on, once there's room to do so*

Mistfire: *another peck, and then hops down lightly as Magenta kicks insistently in response to the sound of Scattershot's voice*

Trouble: *looks up and waits for Scattershot to come over the edge so he can try to catch him. Kinda stinks at catching*

Torque: *coming over, and doing his best mountain goat impression as he jumps from rock to rock. Is a lot more nimble than most would likely guess*

Scattershot: I hate this part... *moves to try and climb down, can't find footing*

Mistfire: *realizes he's trying on his own again and puts her hand over her optics*

Torque: *arrives at Trouble's location, offers to lift the younger mech so they can catch Scattershot without dropping him*

Scattershot: *winces as he starts to lose the fight with gravity and ends up leaving traces of paint behind*

Trouble: *nod nod nod!*

Torque: *lifts Trouble by the waist* Think you can grab him without dropping him this time?

Trouble: .....

Torque: Just grab him like I'm grabbing you, and we should be alright.

Scattershot: *Wibbling and slipping even more*

Trouble: *grab!*

Mistfire: You gonna be able ta hold that all, Torky?

Torque: *chuckles and moves to set Trouble on his feet* If I couldn't, there'd be a problem.

Trouble: *drops Scattershot on his skidplate, then winces and bites his lip*

Scatteshot: *startled yelp*

Trouble: *sad face*

Torque: *To Mistfire* At least he didn't get dropped very far this time. ^_^

Mistfire: *trying not to laugh. Trying hard*

Magenta: *PING PING PING!*

Mistfire: *loses it*

Scattershot: *moving to get up and inspect the damage* ... I think I did worse to my paint this time... *razzes Mistfire*

Mistfire: *wheezes* Ain't laughin' at you, Gorgeous. Listen ta the bit.

Magenta: *PING!!!*

Scattershot: *over there to listen*

Mistfire: *looking around for a nice spot, sees one on a patch of fine gravel and pats her mate on the head* Tell Trouble you're okay so I kin go lay down.

Scattershot: Okies... *To Trouble* I'm alright! ^_^

Trouble: *perks and offers him a handful of ore*

Scattershot: Ooooo! Thank you! ^^

Trouble: *happy grin, and then turns the grin to Torque before returning to his mine*

Torque: *chuckles and moves to head back to where he was situated, doing another mountain goat impression*

Mistfire: *all comfy, put a tarp on the gravel and is moving her shoulders to get everything just right*

Scattershot: *will move to join her and offer some of the ore Trouble gave him*

Mistfire: *contented smirk, though she's sad about his paint. She also knows there's nothing they can really do about it here* Don't mind if I do. *glances over to see how her boys are doing and smiles before turning her attention back to her mate*

Magenta: *totally slagged off now and letting the world know it*

Scattershot: *will very gently drum fingers against Mistfire's belly as he shares the ore*

Magenta: *angry pings pause. Is it Daddy?*

Mistfire: *munching*

Scattershot: *decides to play that one song he likes, only he'll be good and turn it down so it's not blasting out over the entire area. Magenta should still be able to hear it though*

Magenta: *great big happy thump! And then she's silent as she listens*

Mistfire: *quietly* That reminds me. I noticed somethin'.

Scattershot: Hm?

Mistfire: You hear anythin' on the airwaves that ain't comin' from us?

Scattershot: ... No....

Mistfire: 'N you heard any planes since we got out here?

Scattershot: ... *doorwings raising slightly*

Mistfire: Smell the air.

Scattershot: *proceeds to do so, doorwings raising a bit more when he realizes there's few to no chemicals in the air and a lot more pollen than he's used to encountering. Doorwings definitely UP now* I... I thought it was because of a latitude change...

Mistfire: *nods toward a little tree which is definitely tropical looking* This is the Andes.

Scattershot: ... This definitely explains why there's a time gap between this reality and home...

Misfire: *slow nod* These mountains're young yet. 'N there probably ain't nobody around except maybe around Eden.

Scattershot: ... *slow whistle*

Mistfire: Guess that's why there's metal just pourin' outta the rocks. *looks over to where Megatron is now thoughtfully crunching as he looks up at the sky*

WakeJumper: *awake because he smells something nice, will reach and patpat at your cheek, Megatron*

Megatron: *rumbly chuckle that makes Rumrunner lift his head, and then offers both little ones a bit of the brown rock*

WakeJumper: *clicks and moves to nudge Wheelie so he can share the treat with him*

Mistfire: *grins as she sees her boys moving, then looks thoughtfully at the bit of rock in her hand* We kin use this fer wire, too.

Scattershot: Yeah... but for what?

Mistfire: *looking at the rock* Copper wire ain't as sturdy, but it'd work fer repairs.

Scattershot: *not exactly on the same track* ... For who or what?

Mistfire: *figures he's baby addled again and gives him a gentle tap on the helmet with one finger*

Scattershot: *Acks*

Mistfire: *jerks her head toward Viisaus*

Scattershot: *quietly* Oooh...

Mistfire: Yeah. Wish I knew more about this area 'n what metal 'n stuff's here.

Scattershot: ... Yanno... I almost wish that crazy inventor guy with the daughters were here.... He'd prolly be able to tell us about the minerals and metals...

Mistfire: *quietly* 'Jack's proly dead.

Scattershot: *Winces and nods*

Mistfire: *sighs and then eats more copper, feeling herself relaxing despite the depressing thought* Sun ain't bad.

Scattershot: *nods* Yeah... *soft snicker* I bet my alternate is miserable because of his paintjob though....

Mistfire: *soft chuckle* He's got the brains ta get outta the sun.

Scattershot: ... Hey!

Mistfire: *very light and quick rub to the nearest doorwing*

Scattershot: *Squeaks*

Kriti: *Awake at that, blinks blearily, trying to find the source of the squeak*

Mistfire: *moves her hand from the doorwing to her mate's back and rubs gently*

Scattershot: *soft sigh, attention goes back to gently tapping along to the beat of the song he's playing*

Megatron: *rumbles for Kriti and offers her copper as well, his mouth curving as he hears Beryl murmuring to their sparklet through their sparkbond*

Kriti: *gives Megatron a sleepy might-be-a-smile, reaches for the copper*

Megatron: *gives it, and then gives one to Bumblebee as the little mech rubs his optics and looks over quizzically*

Bumblebee: *takes it and holds it to his chest as he gives his own sleepy sorta-smile*

Kriti: *quiet clicks, curls up after sticking her piece of copper in her mouth* *contented sparklet purrs*

Megatron: *soft sigh, will focus on feeding the small ones who are born, and rumbling for them and for the one to come*
