where my IDW peeps at

[deathlyhugs]

No.

The Lost Light was one thing. This is different. I don't care that you think it's another way of starting over, because I've heard what happens to the people you play.

I'm not laughing at the name, either.

Comments

[toosexyforthisspoiler]

I'm kinda stunned you can laugh, Chuckles.

[deathlyhugs]

[lineface; Cyclonus's default expression]

You're here too.

[toosexyforthisspoiler]

[Kung fu grip on the obvious, ftw.] Surprise!

[Smirk.]

You don't seem really happy to see me.

[deathlyhugs]

[he's more wondering if the ship crashed again okay that wasn't really a crash so much as you know what moving on]

Should I be.

[toosexyforthisspoiler]

[That totally wasn't his fault.]

Heh. Better me than Whirl, right?

[Or Ultra Magnus. Or a sparkeater.]

[deathlyhugs]

[sir he would like to register a complaint with your navigator sir

and or your engineers

and or whoever let Whirl on the damn ship. the lineface turns marginally more scowly, but with his face, it's sort of hard to tell.]

There's that, yes.

[toosexyforthisspoiler]

[Hey, you talk to Red Alert about that. Or Ratchet. Rodimus is all about Adventure and Glory, not, you know, paperwork.]

[Delegating unpleasant duties: AWESOME prerogative.]

See? Have you looking on the bright side in no time.

[deathlyhugs]

[does he have to talk to anyone

can't he just stay in his room and be reclusive]

Don't you have a ship to captain?

[toosexyforthisspoiler]

[Considering you bitchslapped your last roomie? NOPETIMUSPRIME.gif]

Maybe I'm into looking out for my...whatever we call ourselves.

[Crusadercons? Had they gone with that? He'd gotten distracted by the SHINIER awesome of the sparkeater. Eh, no matter.]

So, Cycs. How's it hanging?

[deathlyhugs]

[you forgot the whole 'kicked him while he was down' part. BUT JUST REMOVE THE ROOMIE AND HE'LL BE FINE.

primus, this is what happens when you people make him be social. BC]

It's 'Cyclonus'.

[toosexyforthisspoiler]

[Everyone gets a battle buddy, Cyclonus. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you don't like Tailgate, maybe we could see if Ultra Magnus is willing to bunk with you? Or Swerve. He'd talk your little bunny ears off.]

[Suddenly, Tailgate doesn't seem so bad, huh?]

Oh, I got it. Cyclonus.

Frag. Your mun's really shoving a piston up your aft. You need to loosen up.

[deathlyhugs]

[what do you mean 'ears' he only has one right now what he wouldn't do for Scourge right now. or any other sweep. TOO BAD WHIRL FRAGGED UP ALL THE BODIES.]

There's nothing shoved up my aft, Rodimus. Your sort may enjoy your nicknames - I don't.

[toosexyforthisspoiler]

[Yeah and too bad your buddy Galvatron nearly fragged up the entire future of Cybertron with that whole D-Void thing.]

[Come to think of it, everlasting shame upon you for teaming with anyone named D-Void in the first place.]

Yeah? So what do you enjoy? After perfecting your scowl, that is.

..._{hugging Whirl} [Snerk.]

[deathlyhugs]

[okay now -that- is a low blow. let's see you brainwashed in to following someone and then realizing that you're destroying your own planet. >BC]

At this rate, all I'll enjoy is ancient history. Were you even around before the war started?

[not even touching the Whirl comment. not even touching it. let's not disillusion the thought that they made up.]

[toosexyforthisspoiler]

[Yeah, uh, no. Rodimus has his ego as the best anti-brainwashing device ever.]

[He smirks.]Was I? Let's say I made a pretty explosive impression.

[Sorry, Nyon. But better to die free than turned into a power source for Zeta's stupid weapon.]

Were you?

man i still need to catch up on autocracy how is it btw?

[deathlyhugs]

I'll take your word for it. As for me...

[...what does he gain from hiding things at this point, really.]

I was part of the Ark, under Nova Prime.

[shutthehellup]

I'm still curious as to how you managed to talk your way onto the ship. Not complainin', just curious. Y'know. 'Cause I'm pretty sure Red Alert probably fried more than a few circuits once he found out.

[deathlyhugs]

Does it matter?

[shutthehellup]

Of course it does! It's a mystery! Mysteries are meant to be solved! Knowledge is meant to be found! Why d'you think detectives exist? To solve mysteries! I am totally the detective of this mystery. You're not gonna be a roadblock on the road to knowledge, are you?

[deathlyhugs]

If it involves not telling you things that aren't your business, then yes. I am.

[shutthehellup]

[CYCLONUS YOU ARE NO FUN.]

...

Well. There's ways around roadblocks. Might take longer, but I'll figure it out.

[deathlyhugs]

Why do you even care?

[shutthehellup]

Because! It's something unknown. I wanna know it. Curiosity eats away at you until you find something out, like rust!

[deathlyhugs]

Curiosity killed the cybercat.

[shutthehellup]

Reward's worth the gamble, though.

Usually.

[deathlyhugs]

This one's a bit boring. We talked. He decided to authorize my presence. That's all.

[shutthehellup]

...

Well. That was anticlimactic.

[deathlyhugs]

Next time I'll be sure to assault him like a proper Autobot.
