Nexus, The Sanctuary of Primus, Rap

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

Rap: *bopping around the Sanctuary, singing as he checks the place out. Can't believe he's finally back with his sweet lady, and that he's a DAD!*

Waltz: Kriti... *soft laugh* Stop waving at the whales. Can you hear that music?

Kriti: *chiirrs, before pausing and tilting her head as she listens, doorwings fluttering a bit as she tries to find a match in her memory banks*

Waltz: *smiles her gentle smile as she watches the little one*

Bronx: *head tilted as he listens too, likes the music, but doesn't get the significance of it* Is there a Jazz in there?

Pi: *sticks his head out and laughs as he waves*

Kriti: *Waves to Pi, attention starting to wander skyward again*

Bronx: Hey, Pi, who's that making all that noise?

Pi: Noise? That's a Rap original mix!

Kriti: ... *attention firmly on Pi now*

Pi: *green optics are sparkling and he's looking pretty excited about something* And Mom's not playing it.

Kriti: *Glances at the Jazz from her reality, quiet clicks. She remembers what happened the last time she got her hopes up, with the other Waltz...*

Rap: Hey, man, Pi. Ain't you supposeta be helpin'... me.... Hey! Visitors! WALTZ! *bounds down the steps and grabs sister up to give her a massive hug*

Waltz: *eeks and laughs and hugs him back*

kvJazz: *catches Kriti as the femme startles, but then he's got a flaily, squirmy, squealing youngling in his arms*

Kriti: *Is pretty sure this is the Rap she remembers, wants to go see him!*

Rap: *freezes* I know that voice....

Waltz: *laughs more* Kriti's here, Rap!

Rap: *WHOOPS and dives for the squeals!*

kvJazz: *Sets Kriti on her pedes and laughs as Kriti runs to meet Rap halfway*

Rap: *scoops her up with Waltz and cuddles both femmes, tears leaving oil streaks down his face* All my ladies. Ah man. All my ladies're where I can talk ta 'em.

Kriti: *Clickstorm mixed with happy babbling as she snuggles close*

Rap: Lookit how big you are! What happened? Why's my bitty so big? *laughing and crying at the same time*

Kriti: *in between clicks* Grew... 'M a youngling now... *snuggles and clickstorms even more*

Rap: D'awww. *stops dancing and twirling and just holds her and Waltz close* Still my bitty sister. Even though Shasta 'n Angel're bittier right now. *soft laugh*

Kriti: *Confused chirr*

Rap: My newest sisters. *chuckle* I jes' got back from visitin' 'em on Cybertron when I found out I could get here again.

Kriti: *considering look*

Rap: But you guys gotta come on in. *gently sets Waltz down and shifts Kriti to his hip* Have some snacks 'n get caught up. *pauses and looks quizzically at the white mech who's standing by Bronx*

kvJazz: *chuckles and moves to gently nudge Bronx towards Rap*

Rap: *tilts his head* You look kinda familiar, man.

Kriti: *attention going where Rap's looking, small smile* Is Jazz from home.

Rap: Ohhh! *laughs* Yeah, that'd do it. Hey, man!

kvJazz: What's shakin', man? *Amused mech is amused. That amusement grows when Kriti reaches to nose-beep Rap*

Rap: *makes beep sound, and then makes like eating the little finger* Rawer! Not much, man, jes' got back with my lady, 'n found out she gave me a son!

Kriti: *Happy squeal, clickstorm!*

kvJazz: *Snerks* First kid?

Rap: *quiets a bit and looks down, then nods* Well, yeah. I wound up goin' back before our honeymoon was even over.

Pi: *deedle beep!*

kvJazz: *soft snerk as he shakes his head* 'N how itty-bitty was Kriti when ya saw her last?

Rap: *takes a swat at his son. Laughing again as he holds his hand away from his side to show Kriti's height when he last saw her* She was jes' new.

Kriti: *Deedlebeeps at Pi, then nods... before quietly murmuring an apology for biting Rap before her first growth spurt*

Rap: *blinks and looks at her* Didja?

Kriti: *blink blink* Why? *confused*

Rap: Why what, Kriti? *focused on her now, a little worried that he's forgotten something really important* It's ben a few hundred years since I saw ya last, girl.

Kriti: ... *bhuh? look*

Rap: *nods* Our reality closed off 634 years ago.

Kriti: *Brain-broken look now*

kvJazz: *clicks quietly and moves to gently rub the youngster's back*

Pi: The same time didn't pass here, Dad. It's been maybe two years. And Mom just made me a few months ago.

Rap: *staggers*

kvJazz: 'N back home, 't's been seven years since....

Rap: Then my lady... she's still just a kid.... *visor drops*

Kriti: *Snuggles Rap. Rap no can has sad, k?*

Pi and Bronx: *exchanging glances and then looking at kvJazz to see if he knows what to say*

Waltz: *has hand over mouth*

kvJazz: 'F your lady's just a kid, I'm a Stunticon. *Said with certainty*

Rap: But she's only a couple years old! *distress in his deep voice*

kvJazz: She don' act like 't.

Pi: 'N she'll kick your aft if you get stupid. *deedle beep!*

Kriti: *Deedlebeeps at Pi again*

Rap: *is wibbling. Look, bayformers can wibble*

kvJazz: Your lady's gotta good head on 'er shoulders. *Slight visor flicker as he watches Kriti reach up to poke Rap in a ticklish spot*

Rap: *winces and catches the little Kriti hand, then rubs it gently*

Pi: Besides. She's Destron. We don't do 'kid'.

Rap: *blinks and then levels a Look at his son* I catch you sparkin' before you're twenty 'n I'll kick your beepin' aft.

Pi: *razzes and laughs*

Kriti: *Gigglefit*

kvJazz: *Snerks, shakes his head* Heard that before.... From Blue and 'Jack to 'Clipsie....

Rap: 'N my daddy said it ta me the day he first caught me 'n Hormah together. *rubs his face and lifts his visor. Green optics are still slightly dim*

Kriti: *SnuggaRap, quiet clicks*

kvJazz: *considering look, wondering if he should let Rap know about the alternates he has in two separate realities*

Rap: Well... we still got cookies 'n sweet energon. *turns to lead the way inside*

kvJazz: *chuckles and moves to help gently usher people into the sanctuary*

Waltz: *finds herself being offered two different orange arms* *chuckles at her son and nephew*

Kriti: *Telling Rap all about how the Sideswipe in another reality got chibified and walloped by Bumble, and about how later, that Sideswipe came to visit with his wordmate*

Rap: *listening as he hauls the chairs all over to the one table* *chuckles* Chibi Bee, huh?

Kriti: *nodnod* Is Bumble-Sissy....

kvJazz: *trying not to snicker and interrupt Kriti's storytelling*

Rap: *checks on Waltz and sees she's got plenty of guys to help her, then settles Kriti in a chair and goes to get the box of cookies and the jug of energon and the mugs* *is still listening to baby sister* What tech's that Sideswipe?

Kriti: Same 's you 'n Waltz-Sissy.

Rap: 'N Bee is too?

Kriti: *nodnod* Other-Sideswipe's Sunstreaker 'n Showtime have three babies. :3

Rap: Ohhh. They from a sparklet reality?

Kriti: *remembers this word from lessons! *nod nod* Yup... From big WakeJumper's reality.

Rap: WakeJumper? Whozzat? *sets the table and then scoops her up and acts as a booster seat*

Pi: *watches Bronx seat Waltz, and then makes like he's going to slug him*

Bronx: *ignores*

Pi: *huh* *settles down*

Kriti: Went caroling with you 'n Hormah 'n Uncle Oppy-mus once.... *Quieter* 'Fore Dready 'n Kitty went bye-bye....

Rap: I remember that. *frown* Dreadnought's gone?

Kriti: *nod nod* Went 'n di'n't come back... *No, she hasn't heard of Overkill, and unless someone lets it slip, she may never hear of him*

Rap: *cuddles her* That's too bad. I seem ta remember he was a pretty fly bot.

Pi: They still talk like that in the future? *snort*

Rap: Hush, you.

kvJazz: *Soft snerk as he watches Pi and Rap*

Kriti: Big WakeJumper's son, Lumen, i'n't a bitty anymore either.... *slightly cheeky grin* Issa slaggin' punk!

Rap: *attention back to Kriti* Who taught you ta talk like that? o.0

Pi: We have a Dreadnought. He's cool.

Kriti: Heard Lumen's Uncle Kup callin' him that couple'a times....


Meanwhile, over in HSV...


Lumen: *Sneezes*


Back at the sanctuary


Rap: Well, I don't think lil' lady-bots're supposta say that. There seems ta be some kinda rule about bots not cussin' till they're old. *glances at Pi* Whaddya mean, you gotta Dreadnought?

Pi: Mom's youngest brother.

Kriti: *Blink blink, clicks*

Pi: I think he's one'a Jetfire's favorites.

Kriti: *Blink blink, never met Jetfire, sos he has no clue who Pi is talking about*

kvJazz: *raised brow ridge* Issat the same Jetfire who hangs out at the Black Dog?

Pi: Yup. Blackout's second favorite bot in the whole Multiverse.

kvJazz: *Snerk*

Pi: He's younger now. Pink accidentally got him with that slaggin' LOL camera.

Rap: Watch your mouth.

Kriti: *Deedlebeeps at Pi, then calls Unicron an aft in Minicon*

Pi: *cracking up*

kvJazz: LOL... Camera? *and now he's a bit concerned*

Rap: Yeah, it's an LOL that shows up around here, accordin' ta my lady. Old Poleroid that kin make you older 're younger 're other stuff.

Kriti: *clicks and snuggles Rap*

kvJazz: I'll hafta keep an optic out for it then... Don' want nobody runnin' int'a it....

Pi: *in Minicon* [Arcee has more bolts than the guys do.]

Kriti: *headtilt, tries repeating what Pi said*

Rap: *nods, and then indicates the cookies and energon* Good idea. Have some energy. Pi... you better notta said what I think you just said.

Kriti: *Giggles and clicks happily as kvJazz offers a piece of cookie*

Pi: *innocence personified, and just cannot imagine why Bronx just chuckled at him*

Rap: *gives his son a Look, which holds knowing amusement* Anythin' you think'a tryin'? I done it years ago.

kvJazz: *dirty rotten chuckle. He's older, so he's got you beat, Rap.*

Rap: *turns that look to Jazz* What's that for?

kvJazz: I know 'zactly the sorta stuff you're meanin'.... Been there, done that... Got stuck in the brig f'r some'a it...

Rap: Mech, I've done stuff that had my dad bogglin'. *chuckle*

Pi: *deedlebeeps about a peeing contest*

Kriti: *headtilts and clicks at Pi*

kvJazz: *Snerks* Somehow, I'm not surprised....

Rap: He was. *gently boots his son* You be good.

Pi: Says the guy who spent his first two days here so kiss drunk that he fell off the slaggin' berth.

Kriti: *Gigglefit*

Waltz: *BLUSH and doesn't look at big brother*

kvJazz: *cracking up, brb*

Rap: *slight 'remind me to kick your aft' amused grin as he fills his mug with sweet energon* *nope. Noooo comment*

Kriti: *Clickstorm*

Bronx: Aunty Hormah was glad to see you, huh? *knows it's a dumb question. Presents it in his usual laid back and gentle manner*

Pi: *falls over laughing*

kvJazz: *Leave a message, kthx*

Rap: You all git somebody some day, 'n I'll come laugh at you. *speaks good naturedly and then has a drink of his energon* 'N yeah. 'Course she was. Even if I wasn't gone as long as I thought I'd ben.

Pi: *crawls back up into his seat and takes a big gulp of energon, then chews a cookie and grins*

Bronx: *starts up a conversation with the younger orange bot about hobbies*

Waltz: *recovers composure and starts catching up with brother*

Kriti: *is going to make with the cute in the hopes of getting a cookie*

kvJazz: *sitting up and recovering from his laughing fit*

Rap: *gently hands cookie to Kriti* Remember the first time we had some'a these, Bitty?

Kriti: *Nodnod* Wassa Luggy in the Nexus...

Rap: Yup. *chuckle* Hormah says he's even bittier'n you now.

Kriti: *blink blink* Issa chibi?

Rap: Yup. He lives someplace called the Dream, 'n there's an Optimus there that makes pizza for bots.

Kriti: :3 *knows about pizza* *slight headtilt as she remembers something else* Growth spurt was after that....

Rap: Yup. I remember that. Jes' not you bitin' me. *offers to fill a mug with sweet energon for her*

Kriti: *small nod* *Quietly* Bit Aunty's Sideswipe 'nother time....

Rap: Didja? 'Cause you were growin'?

Kriti: *ducks her head a bit and nods* *quietly* Wanted t' hide 'n couldn't....

Rap: *gentle cuddle* Where was Perceptor?

Kriti: Fixin' Jazz... 'N Blackie...

Rap: Jazz 'n Blackie picked up some damage, huh?

Kriti: *Nodnodnod* Were offline....

Rap: *blink blink* Oh...

Kriti: Are all fixed now... 'N PapaJazz is Captain Disaster! :D

kvJazz: *thud*

Rap: *looks at Jazz, and then back to Kriti, his brow plates quirked* ...Whaddya mean?

kvJazz: *cracking up, is not going to be able to explain*

Kriti: *happily starts in explaining about the Nightwind cartoon, and how PapaJazz is Captain Disaster*

Rap: *listening, his brows going higher and his mouth twitching as he thinks of what his dad will say when he hears about this*

Kriti: *Trying to do an imitation of Captain Disaster now*

Rap: Doncha got a recording?

Kriti: *blink blink, hadn't even thought of that*

Rap: *searches the Multiwebs, and then does a perfect Captain Disaster quote. It's one that the Captain said to Nightwind once in a sorta flirting moment*

Kriti: *Squeal!* :D

Rap: *grin*

kvJazz: *chuckling and cycling air*

Rap: *glances over* You gonna survive, old man?

kvJazz: Who you callin' old, brat? *more chuckling*

Kriti: *Razzes kvJazz*

kvJazz: *laughs at that*

Rap: Who you callin' a brat, old man? *'ears' twitch*

Kriti: *Giggle, nosebeeps Rap again*

Rap: *chuckles and snuggles little sister, and then settles down to shoot the breeze and eat and drink good energon with good company*
