Nexus, Near the Sign, Meetings and Helping



Grimlock:  *looks at the big, funny looking orange mech with first one optic, and then the other*  Hrrrn.  You not my 'Jumper.

hsvWakeJumper: Probably 'cause I'm an alternate to your 'Jumper.

WakeJumper: *Trying to hide behind mate now, kthx!*

Grimlock:  Hmmmm.  Me Grimlock not understand that.  *turns and bellows at Slag for destroying that tree*

Slag:  *ignores*

hsvWakeJumper: *soft chuckle, attention going to Wheeljack*

Wheeljack:  *seriously telling Snarl and Swoop why it is Not a Good Thing to eat out of the garbage can*

Snarl and Swoop:  *utterly focused on what he's saying... or maybe asleep with their optics lit*

hsvWakeJumper: *snerks softly and moves to approach Wheeljack*

Wheeljack:  *lecture lecture!*

Grimlock:  *growls and sticks himself between strange 'Jumper and family*

hsvWakeJumper: *Amused* Hey, Wheeljack! Tell Grimlock to ease up!

Wheeljack:  Buh?  *blinky and looks over that way, ducking slightly as Snarl keels over behind him*

WakeJumper: *eyeing the orange mech with wide optics*

hsvWakeJumper: *chuckles* It's been awhile, mech... The last time you and your WakeJumper were here, I was in a sparklet shell.

Wheeljack:  *blinks and searches his processor*  *cluelessly*  Right!  Right!  The little... other WakeJumper?

Grimlock:  *still growly*

WakeJumper: *optics widen a bit more* *Quietly* That's right... You were here with those two women....

hsvWakeJumper: *nods* My mate, Eclipse, and her half-sister, Keepsake.

Wheeljack:  //'Jumper, remind me?//

WakeJumper: *Shares the memory of their first trip to the Nexus* *The day that she and Wheeljack got married, when they wound up taking an accidental detour on their way to quarters*

Wheeljack:  Oh yeah.  0_0  The day Scatcat was makin' all that noise.

Grimlock:  *noise?  Cuts loose at just that moment to try and wake Snarl up.  Wakes everything else up instead*

hsvWakeJumper: *Wincing* Ow.... right in the audio....

Wheeljack:  Y'get useta it after awhile.  *thoughtful and absent swig from his bucket of cleaner* So you got better, huh?

hsvWakeJumper: *nods* I've been back to my old self for months now.

WakeJumper: *going to try and nab the bucket so she can have a swig herself*

Wheeljack:  Well that's good, anyhow.  *grin.  Yes, he's actually got his mask down.  Lets wife have bucket*

WakeJumper: *having a swig from the bucket before giving it back to her husband*

hsvWakeJumper: *Another nod, and a small smile* Yeah... Not that I had a problem with being teddy-bear cuddled by Eclipse... but not being able to do my job was starting to get to me.

Wheeljack:  *now absently giving Sludge chin scratches with his free hand as he drinks more, then lowers the bucket*  Yer job?

Sludge:  *very big purr*

Grimlock:  *shoving Snarl around with his nose*

Swoop:  *entertained by this and giving directions*

hsvWakeJumper: *nods and points to the markings on his chestplating* I'm a medic.

Grimlock:  *nose on the bucket*  Drink?

Wheeljack:  No.  That's mine.  Ohhhh.  Gotcha.  So ya work with Ratch?

WakeJumper: *absently reminding Grimlock to behave as she studies her alternate*

hsvWakeJumper: *nods, chuckling* Yeah... and First Aid.

Grimlock:  *snorts and resumes pushing Snarl around*

Wheeljack:  *chuckle, his lights blinking*  Gotta have an 'Aid, or the world stops turnin'.

hsvWakeJumper: That, or Ratchet'd never recharge.

WakeJumper: *Trying to gauge how serious her alternate is being, isn't having much luck since this guy seems really laid back*

Wheeljack:  ...Yours ain't hitched?

hsvWakeJumper: He's happily bonded... And so's 'Aid... Hound and Trailbreaker kept guard while he and Foxtrot slept off their bonding funk...

WakeJumper: *slight optic flash of surprise*

Wheeljack:  ...Fox was a girl?  *glances to his wife as though she'd know*

WakeJumper: *slight confusion, never knew Foxtrot*

hsvWakeJumper: The one in my reality is.

Wheeljack:  *soberly*  Makes me wonder.  But there's a lotta wonderin', now.

Grimlock:  *sneezes and sets the trash can on fire*

Wheeljack:  *puts it out*

hsvWakeJumper: *Raised brow, slight headshake at the trash can fire*

Wheeljack:  *tilts his head as he offers the bucket to his wife again*  What?

hsvWakeJumper: My mate's still trying to convince everyone that building miniature versions of the Dinobots is a good idea... We've got Snarl already, and Sweep...

Wheeljack:  *brow ridges quirk*  Miniature?  What good'd that be?

hsvWakeJumper: Less collateral damage.

Swoop:  *wants love, 'Jumper!  Comes and pokes her beak into girlJumper's hand*

WakeJumper: *Absent scritches, optics firmly on her counterpart*

Wheeljack:  Yeah, but less other damage, too.  I'd hate ta think'a what'd happen if Meggy comes back 'n we didn' have these guys.

hsvWakeJumper: *concerned now, before he remembers that their reality doesn't have peace yet* *small frown as he nods*

Wheeljack:  *starts to talk, pauses as Grimlock decides to engulf his head and shoulders with his mouth.  Pokes the big critter in the tongue*

Grimlock:  *squeaks and retreats!*

Wheeljack:  There's still a lot more 'Cons than there are bots, even with Aid's sibling showin' up.

hsvWakeJumper: Sibling? *Curious now, and absently scanning Grimlock out of curiosity*

Wheeljack:  Yeah.  Bot named Blades.  Nice kid.  *really has noooo clue about them*

Grimlock:  *making like chewing on Sludge's leg now*

Sludge:  *ignore*

hsvWakeJumper: Huh... *goes over what he scanned* *slight look of surprise, then he's getting his PINpoint out and aiming it at Grimlock*

WakeJumper: *Raised brow ridge at her counterpart*

Wheeljack:  Hey hey, whatcha doin'?  *stepping between guyWake and his Dinobot*

hsvWakeJumper: Comparing data. *blink blink* Huh... So it's not glitching...

Wheeljack:  *looks at the gadget*  ...What's not glitchin'?

hsvWakeJumper: My PINpoint... It says you're all from the same reality as the Kup and Perceptor I met a couple weeks ago.

Wheeljack:  *optics widen and his lights go bright*  What??  You run inta Percy?  And Kup? *turns and looks at his wife, grinning, then turns back to guyWake*

WakeJumper: *Perked up*

hsvWakeJumper: *Nods* Yeah... They got a bit lost on their way to somewhere else, and I helped 'em get where they were trying to go to. *Not going to mention the newspark*

Wheeljack:  *eagerly*  Did they say where they were goin'?  What sector they're in?  Anythin'?

hsvWakeJumper: *Quick glance around the Nexus to make absolutely sure nobody's nearby to try and hack the databurst he's sending your way Wheeljack. It contains the coordinates of the world that this WakeJumper last saw Kup and Perceptor on* Kup's probably going to be in an overprotective mood... If you go, be careful.

Wheeljack:  *waves that off*  Kup's always inna overprotective mood.  *lights blinking cheerfully now*

hsvWakeJumper: *lip components thin for a few moments* *Very quietly* He'll be even more protective now...

WakeJumper: *Curious about what her counterpart means*

Wheeljack:  *tilts his head, processor trying to think what could make Kup more protective than the war had*

Grimlock:  *tries to set Wheeljack's skidplate on fire*

Wheeljack:  *ignores the fact that his aft is on fire.  Is thinking*

WakeJumper: *headtilt, wondering absently whether it has something to do with Perceptor, before she's trying to put the fire on her husband out*

Grimlock:  *protesting the fire outtage*

WakeJumper: *Calmly* Grimlock.

Wheeljack:  *sniff, looks down*  Oh sheesh.  *adds his fire extinguisher foam to his wife's*  I need that to sit on, Grimlock.  'N if I can't sit you can't get any cookies.

Grimlock:  *snort and goes to gnaw on the tree Slag knocked over*

WakeJumper: ... *optics wide as she hedges a guess and shares it with Wheeljack: Maybe Perceptor is not as everyone thought?*

Wheeljack:  *straightens as his mind goes back to old and sealed files*  Frag... I forgot all about that!

hsvWakeJumper: *lip components thin again, has no idea that his female alt has guessed part of why the Kup from her reality is so overprotective*

Wheeljack:  *quietly*  Kup found out Percy's secret.

WakeJumper: *Concerned now*

hsvWakeJumper: They're married.

Wheeljack:  What???  Those two?  No way!

hsvWakeJumper: *Nods* *even quieter* There's more... but it's not my place to say...

Wheeljack:  *slight cracking sound as his optics go o_0*

WakeJumper: *blink blink*

Wheeljack:  *suddenly mustering the Dinobots and getting everyone to touch everyone else*  We gotta get back 'n let Optimus know.  C'mon, guys, it's cookie time!

WakeJumper: *helping round up Dinobots*

Wheeljack:  *throws an absent thanks to guyJumper, and then PINs his family home*

hsvWakeJumper: *sighs and heads home as well in response to First Aid's plea for assistance in reassembling Jetfire. Prays that Kup and Perceptor will have the help they need*
