Maybe going to re_alignment next month?

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Ooh, now you mun-human remember me, Swoop, here. It take you long enough. You remember, you forget, you remember, you forget.

You very fickle. And mean.

Better than him jerk-bot though. And him jerk-bot's boss. Swoop no like thunder hammer.

... You say me maybe go somewhere again? But not back to Nautilus-city? To... to a Cybertron maybe? Meet more robots like me?
Me no sure about this.

But if you mun-human promise, you better follow through. Me no getting stuck here waiting on you again.
... Me, Swoop only wait little while. Then me get annoyed. Okay?

Swoop! You... unhurt?

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Me okay. Only me pride damaged.

[He doesn't like being ignored. But now he is very confused.]

You Grimlock... look different than me remember.

[robo_dino_hulk]

Good. No need bite human.

[There's a pause before he transforms.]

Easier... to have other.... form. Feels... more natural.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Humans no worth biting anyway. Them easier to scare.

Is okay. Me know. Me, Swoop, very glad to see you.

[It's been a long time.]

[derpjack_ftw]

Swoop! Hey, there, pal! Good ta see ya around again!

Sorry ta hear ya won't be comin' back ta Nautilus, but hey, if ya do wind up goin' ta that Cybertron, keep an optic out for a blue fighter jet hangin' around there. He might give ya a bit of a hard time at first, but it'll work out.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Wheeljack! Me glad to see you.

Her mun-human just thinking for now, me think. No sure what her decide. If go to Cybertron, will look out for him jet. Can no be harder to get along with than him Optimus.

[He didn't always see optic-to-optic with his Primes, really.]

Me, Swoop, would really like to see him Wheeljack again, though. Have missed you.

Ack, thought I'd replied by now...

[derpjack_ftw]

[That seems to be a common Swoop-trait . . . his own creation didn't get along with their Optimus as often as not, either.]

He's not a bad mech, especially for a Decepticon. Just can tend ta be gruff an' standoff-ish at first.

. . . I miss you too, Swoop. A lot.

No worries!

[prettyfly4adinobot]

[It hadn't helped that Optimus was pretty mean to them to start with. And Sentinel was right out.]

Him sound like Grimlock, little bit. Is no problem for me, Swoop.

[He puffs out his chest a little. Just you watch, it'll be awesome once he stops trying to show off how awesome he is.]

... Me try to convince her, let me come back, maybe. Would like come back, see you Wheeljack again.

=3

[derpjack_ftw]

Huh...ya know, I guess he kinda is. Hadn't thought about it that way. [Might help to explain why the headspace isn't far noisier and more chaotic, with some many Autobots and three Decepticons sharing it (the Seeker's wingmate have taken up residence as well).]

[Oh, Swoop, never change.]

[He's quiet at the last - he's lost so many of his family lately. It'd be wonderful to get one of them back.]

Not gonna lie, Swoop. That'd be awesome. Only if your mun wants to an' thinks she can manage it, though.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Is good thing me here, then. [Give a little insight into things the way he does~]

We see. Might take some time. But... me come back if me able to. No want to leave you Wheeljack all alone.

[Wheeljack was part of his flock after all, and had been nice to him when he needed help, to boot. That meant something to him.]

[derpjack_ftw]

Again, if your mun thinks she can. V'll be glad ta see ya again too! Kitt's not there anymore, unfortunately. He's been back in the headspace for a while now. He says "hi" though.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

[You know just how to perk Swoop right up. He chirps happily.]

Me sorry him Kitt not there, but me understand. It happen, sometimes. You tell him me, Swoop, say hi?

Him V still there? Ooh, me miss him too. Very smart human. Good friend. You Wheeljack... maybe tell him "hi" too? Has been long time since me seen all of you.

[derpjack_ftw]

Yeah, Kitt's heard ya. An' I'll be sure ta let V know.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Thank you. You still very good flock leader.

[And Swoop may or may not be coming in for a hug, uh-oh.]
