dear_mun | Homeless for a long while now.

I'm surprised your mun put up with your jabber for so long.

[He is happy to see you... it's totally easy to tell.]

That's 'cause Ah'm simply that awesome, 'Hide ol' buddy.

[oh, Jazz knows exactly what you're feeling. He's happy to see you too.]

Sure you are.

[He should really give you an earful for dying on him y'know...]

It's nice to see you in once piece.

[Instead of two.]

Ya know Ah am, 'Hide. Admit it!

[There's no need for that; he already got two earfuls from Ratchet in his his old game. No need for another earful.]

Same here. So how've ya been?

Could be better, my mun plans on putting me in a game, and that Lennox over there is tagging along, like always.

But don't change the subject.

[Give him a moment to prepare a heartwrenching speech that will be sure to inspire tears in the eyes of all who can hear it, and tug at the heartstrin-

Or he can smack you hard upside the head. Whatever works.]

[And Jazz is determined to change it.] Tell me 'bout this new game of yers, 'Hide. Mah mun's lookin'. Or so she claims.

[And then he's hit by a hard smack to the back of his head. Jazz doubles over, both hands covering the back of his helm.]

Ow! There's no need ta be hittin' poor dead mechs around!

[Now if Ironhide were inclined to continue that part of the conversation, he'd mention that he, Lennox, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee were headed towards

luceti.

But right now Jazz's life isn't complete until he gets a lecture from Ironhide. Don't worry, Ironhide prefers things short and painful.]

That was for running off half-cocked without an ounce of common sense. And this-

[Don't mind if he swings at Jazz again.]

-is for getting yourself killed.

[And Jazz handily ducks the second blow to the head. One hit was more than enough for him.]

Ah've got plenty of common sense! An' Ah had very good reasons ta do what Ah did at the time.

What don'cha do what all healthy mechs do an' blame Megatron instead of poor ol' me?

[He's only trying to beat the shit out of you because he cares. This is what Ironhide's affection feels like, live with it.]

Whatever your reasons were, we lost a very valued comrade that day, and that happened because he went off on his own when he shouldn't have.

[Not that Ironhide doesn't understand the reasoning that went behind the decision, it's just hard to appreciate it when it costs you a friend.]

[Why can't you show that care and affection through offerings of high grade energon and body polishes instead, Ironhide? He'll happily take those instead.]

Ah'm sorry, 'Hide. But really, Ah had really really good reasons.

Now THERE'S a face I've missed. Glad to see you still kickin' around, man.

..We never really got a chance to get to know each other too well.

Nuthin' really gets me down fer long, Captain.

Nah, we didn't. Feel free to blame ol' Megatron fer that. Ah know Ah do!

Glad to hear it, man!

I know Epps was pretty upset over what happened.

I was too. Of course.

Dyin's always a possible outcome in battle, especially if Megatron's there. Ah knew what Ah was doin', so don't you and Mr. Epps beat yerself up 'bout it, 'kay?

Knew what you were doin'?

Well, you know what I do to my troops who go on suicide missions like what you did?

Beat em upside the head. You're just lucky my hand's not big enough.

Yeah, Ah did. Not really mah usual way of doin' things, but it seemed ta me a good idea at the time. Ah think ya guys call it bein' stuck between a rock an' a hard place?

[Jazz imitates a human sigh but venting his air.] C'mon Captain, ya can skip the lecture, can't ya? Ah already got one from Ratchet a while back.

[You Autobots are like unruly teenagers he swears to god.]

I bet he did. It's good to see you in one piece...all lectures aside.

Your mun finally let you out, huh?

[Jazz more than the others. Though not Prime, Jazz will wager!]

Ah could've done without it. [Insert grumbling here. Because really, he was already dead, what use was a lecture afterwards?]

Yeah she did. Ah think she was nostalgic or somethin'.

[You should have seen the temper tantrum he had with a tree, Jazz. Boy's just as unruly as the next guy.]

No, you kind of deserved it, man. I can only imagine how 'Hide's gonna take it.

[He scratches the back of his neck.]

Same goes for my mun, actually.

[That's a perfectly healthy way of temper management! Better the tree than another mech.]

He's tryin' ta smack me rather than lecture me. [Jazz isn't sure which one he prefers.]

Whatever the reason, Ah'm glad ta be out an' about again.

At least someone's trying to smack some sense into ya.

I've learned when it comes to Megatron, let the kid handle it.

[A pause.]

So you're looking for a game?

Ah've got plenty o' sense ta begin with!

From what Ah've heard, he seems ta have developed a track record fer it.

[Jazz hunkers down closer to Lennox's heigh.]

Yup. This place is fine an' all, but Ah want ta see new places an' meet new people. Hear their stories and music.

Enough sense to know that big bot plus little bot equals dead bot?

[He just smacks that leg armor affectionately.]

Well, Hide and I are going to some

luceti place. Heard there's a whole mess of people there.

And no one wants a two piece Jazz ensemble there.

Eh, Ah've gone in with worse odds than that b'fore.

[Jazz cocks his head slightly to the side.] Mah mun's heard of that place. Call's it the place where everyone gets wings. Ah'm not entirely sure how Ah'd look with wings though.

What 'bout a one piece ensemble of Jazz? [He snickers at his own joke.]

...I highly doubt that, as you probably came back alive.

[Gosh Jazz, you two would be such bros.]

At least your mun would give you fuckin' awesome wings if you went. Mine's joking around about giving me pink ones. She better be joking.

Ah'll admit they were close calls.

[Indeed they would!]

Jus' wonderin' how they'd fit with mah alt. form an' all that. [He does snicker at the image of Lennox with pink wings though.] Ah'm sure you'd bear 'em with dignity, Captain. Even if they were pink with magenta stripes.

Hey. HEY. Do NOT give my mun ideas.

[Ironhide's never gonna let him live this down.]

Prime did always say you liked to look good. Who knows, maybe they'll be decals or something.

But that's what Ah'm good at!

[Ironhide's a grumpy old war 'bot.]

Lookin' good is very important, Captain. As important as functionality.

Chill, Jazz. I'm sure they'd look lovely.

Could you imagine some silver wings? That'd be pretty epic.

They'd match those little wingears you got on your helm anyway.

...would you even fit in most of the places around here?

Eh, Ah'll manage. One way or 'nother.

If you say so.

Ah do say so, yes. [And Jazz looks entirely smug and self-satisfied.]

[ How in the hell can a giant robot have that great of a facial expression? ]

Why do I feel like I know you?

[Because Jazz is one hell of a 'robot'.]

Ya do look a lot like this gal Ah knew b'fore.

...I do? [ No one ever tells Brooke that sort of thing. Ever. ]

Homeless for a long while now.

Was just about to go to bed too...

I got you just in time then!
