new muse is new

[botvanwinkle]

Excuse me, mun? Hello? Hi. Nothing much, just wanted to know - are you sure about this? You know less about what's going on than I do, which is saying something.

I'm not trying to be ungrateful, I just think that maybe you should think this through a little. I mean, I'm still getting used to living six million years in the future and you're getting used to living with your new crew.

Can't we just keep this simple? I was just starting to feel I was really a part of something with the Lost Light. I don't want to have to start all over again.

So why don't we ease into this, okay?

If you've got that one-in-one-million sensible and reasonable mun, that'll probably work.

If not...

[botvanwinkle]

I think my mun could be sensible -- maybe.

[ex_wikipedia788]

You think so?

Either way, you're probably not getting rid of the rest of the crew that easily.

[botvanwinkle]

I guess you're right. There's you and Swerve so far -- anyone else? Like, you know, Rodimus or Ultra Magnus. Or even Nutjob or Cyclonus.

[ex_wikipedia788]

You'll see Skids. I know there're a couple Rodimuses, and Drift--[HA HA NUTJOB NOT CORRECTING THAT, it's accurate.]

[botvanwinkle]

"A couple"? We need more than one Rodimus?

[ex_wikipedia788]

Nobody needs more than one Rodimus, we just can't get rid of the surplus.

Don't tell them I said that.

[shutthehellup]

Heeeeeeey, Tailgate! You keep this up, and you're gonna have a knack for accidentally winding up in places you didn't intend to go, y'know?

[botvanwinkle]

Don't jinx it! My mun thinks Ultra Magnus is funny. With taste like that, who even knows where I might end up?

[shutthehellup]

Well... He is kinda funny in how he's such a stiff, y'know?

Bet he'd be funnier if we could get some engex in him, though.

[botvanwinkle]

He didn't seem very open to the idea.

[shutthehellup]

Yeah, well, the only thing 'open' when it comes to Magnus is a law book. Still, though - where there's a will, there's a way.

[botvanwinkle]

He smiled, that's a start.

[shutthehellup]

Yeah, he did... I'm surprised that didn't get Ratchet to consider the existence of Primus.

[deathlyhugs]

[oh.

it's you.

he's just going to B| don't mind him]

[botvanwinkle]

[ oh uh

that silence isn't all that reassuring, but if he's here, Tailgate should at least say something, right?]

Cyclonus! Hello. Um, how are you?

[deathlyhugs]

[B|

no mun he doesn't want to be social you can't make him no stoppit okay fine FINE]

I'm functional.

[8|]

[botvanwinkle]

That's good! Functional is good. I wouldn't want you to be non-functional. [ WELL THIS IS AWKWARD, though Tailgate is determined to take advantage of whatever little conversation he can get. Sort of. ]

AND THEN I REMEMBERED WHY I DROPPED HIM FROM THE GAME I HAD HIM AT he's a glitch to get social /o\

[deathlyhugs]

[the look on his face says a lot, really. not that he doesn't believe you - you're hopeless like that - but 'i wouldn't want you dead'? really?]

YOU SHOULD HAVE HIM THREAD WITH TFP SOUNDWAVE SOMETIME

[botvanwinkle]

[ Oh, that's not a good sign. But Tailgate's mun is kinda keeping him here so he can't just mumble excuses and make an awkward getaway.

So. He'll be friendly. Maybe Cyclonus is just lonely and doesn't know how to say it. ]

So, uh, your mun have plans for you?

ALL THE ELLIPSIS, ALL OF THEM

[deathlyhugs]

...she's too indecisive. Can't make up her mind what she wants.

ELLIPSEPTION

[botvanwinkle]

Oh hey, mine too! First she says she just wants to play around, then she says she wants a game, and then she says she wants more canon with me. It's strange.

[deathlyhugs]

Does she think you might develop a spinal strut? [that was a joke

sort of

it's hard to tell when he's deadpan all the time]

[botvanwinkle]

[ Cyclonus... ]

I think she might want to know more about our time actually. ...Also I dispose bombs, you know.

[deathlyhugs]

There haven't been any bombs on the ship.

[which is his way of saying that for all intents and purposes, you seem to have lost what it was that made him think of you as a friend, however long ago.

and

he pauses.]

...some of that came out.

[botvanwinkle]

[ Awkward. Pause.

He's trying, okay. ]

My mun's a bit... slow.

[deathlyhugs]

...it doesn't make a difference. It's only pieces.

[oh for the innocence of his youth]

[awesomeintheory]

Hey there, Tailgate. Sorry I'm late, but you know how that goes.

This keeps up and we'll have the whole crew hanging around here after too much longer.

later than late

[botvanwinkle]

I hear there's a lot of us around. I guess I'm just late.
