Hi there,

Look. I'm really not up to this, and you-

Let's face it. I'm not meaning to insult you, but you have no idea what you're doing. You think a comic and a wiki page is enough?

Come on, seriously.

You need to do your homework more before you tiptoe into this territory.

Hey. At least you seem to have your spark in the right place.

[littlebot_blue]

Heh...thanks. I wouldn't really know for sure, since I don't know what I look like to other people, but I like to think I've got my priorities straight.

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

I think you do. For sure.

[littlebot_blue]

[All the smiles, Skyfall. All the smiles.]

...Thanks. I know I don't really know you all that well, and you don't really know me too well either, but I still appreciate the thought. Soo...yeah. Thanks for that.

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

Ahh...

Don't mention it.

[Just slightly bashful.]

[littlebot_blue]

[Is totally oblivious.]

Oh, well, I can't really make any promises, but I'll try. I mean, you already know I have trouble with watching what I say and keeping a low word count, so, y'know, sorry if I accidentally mention it again.

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

I wouldn't begrudge you for it, really.

[littlebot_blue]

Heh, you'd be one of the few, actually. I mean, most 'bots don't really mind all my talking---most of the time---but there's a few hot-heads that are set off really easily, so I have to try a little harder to curb my word-flow around them.

[An embarrassed laugh.]

I'm... not always successful with that.

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

Ah I don't see the point in getting that wound up about anything trivial.

[littlebot_blue]

Well, then you're obviously not a minibot. [He's totally laughing, despite knowing how lame that joke was.]

Those guys have hair-trigger tempers like you wouldn't believe. I mean, I guess a lot of them are just trying to look tougher, since their size makes them seem weak, but they don't really have to compensate for anything. They're some of the toughest fighters we've got, some of the bravest too.

The humans have this saying that explains it pretty well, I think---something about dogs and fighting. Um...it's not barking up the wrong tree and it's not let sleeping dogs lie...

[Give him a minute, there are a LOT of dog-phrases he has to sort through.]

--Oh! I got it! "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." I think it fits really well, though Brawn would probably kill me if he found out I was comparing him to a dog.

PAINFULLY SHORT TAG IN COMPARISON BUT IT FITS /sobsob

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

... What's a dog?

Don't worry----/everyone's/ wordcout is painfully short in comparison to Bluestreak's.

[littlebot_blue]

Oh, sorry--! Geez, how could I forget? You haven't been to Earth yet, have you? Sorry, I tend to forget that not everyone knows where or what Earth is, a lot. It just slips right past me most of the time, since the other Autobots and I live there now---well, in the universe I'm from, at least. I'm not too sure about other universes, or realities or whatever you want to call them.

Anyway, a dog is this small, furry little animal from Earth that walks on all fours. It's sorta like a turbo fox, but they're organic and they come in all different sorts of breeds and colors and sizes.

fffffffffffff

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

Bizarre.

Earth stuff. Ah. Never been there.

He says ALL THE THINGS, or at least, he /tries/ to

[littlebot_blue]

Heh, yeah. It can get pretty weird there sometimes. But, y'know, you get used to it after a while. Besides, it's sort of a perspective thing, really. I mean, it only seems weird to us, because it's so different from what we're used to.

Really, the hardest thing to adjust to is the fact that the entire planet is inhabited by organics. That surprised the slag outta me when we first woke up there. I mean, when I heard the word "organic" I used to think bacteria and plants and stuff, so imagine my surprise when we found out that not only were organics the dominant species on the planet, but that they were actually sentient.

They look a lot like us too, which was sort of eerie at first, 'cause, I mean, what are the chances of an organic species billions of light-years away from Cyberton, looking even remotely similar to us? Slim to none, I think. Perceptor actually did a calculation of it a while back, but I can't really remember it because there were like...fifty zeros after the decimal point, and after a while I just stopped paying attention.
