The mun just has no willpower whatsoever.

[dadcepticon]

[This is Krok judging you, mun.]

[He is so disappointed in you. Really. You're like Misfire, only less useful. Misfire can siphon fuel. You just give in to silly urges.]

…Ugh. Fine. So Misfire gives in to silly urges, too. But at least he's useful.

[Judging you so hard.]

Are we at least going to look for my team?

[losingmyreligion]

Looks like my mun was right. Everyone is showing up.

[Hello Krok.]

Sure got to trot this icon out quickly, haha.

[dadcepticon]

…

[He's happy. Seriously.]

Flywheels – you're – you're not dead!

[losingmyreligion]

[Why does everyone react to him like th--

Oh. Right.]

No, I'm not. Primus decided to give me a second chance in this place.

[dadcepticon]

[Just let him hug you, Flywheels. However briefly and awkwardly.]

That's – unbelievable, frankly, but great.

[losingmyreligion]

[That's--

Wait.

Hugs?

Have a bit of an awkward shoulder pat in return.]

I...well, yes. Primus works in mysterious ways.

[dadcepticon]

[Okay. Back to being stoic. Yes.]

I'm not really sure Primus has anything to do with this place.

[losingmyreligion]

[Insert frown here.]

Primus has to do with everything, Krok. Don't say such blasphemous things.

[dadcepticon]

[Siiiiiiiiiigh.]

…Sure, Flywheels. You haven't seen any of the others, have you?

[Changing the subject is always helpful.]

[losingmyreligion]

I've crossed paths with Fulcrum, Misfires, and a Spinister thus far. And now you.

Primus really seems to favor us.

[dadcepticon]

We're not usually so lucky.

[Where's Crankcase when you need that punch of scepticism?]

[losingmyreligion]

No, unfortunately we are not. But perhaps things are changing to play in our favor. Whatever Primus' plan is, I am willing to go along with it.

[And, well, because his mun says so.]

[dadcepticon]

…

[Wait.]

Misfires? As in plural?

[losingmyreligion]

Yes.

This place has multiples of a lot of individuals.

[dadcepticon]

[Multiple Misfires. Possible multiples of others. Possible multiples of the DJD.

Internal screaming.]

…Great.

[heyloser]

Aw, that really warms my spark, Krok. I'm touched!

[Melodramatic clasping of his hands against his chest, and an exaggerated wibble face for emphasis.]

Bright side, the gang's almost complete -- assuming we can choose between the weird duplicates of me and Spin, anyway.

[dadcepticon]

Duplicate. Of you. And Spinister.

[Internal screaming.]

All of us? Really?

[heyloser]

Yep! Talk about a party, eh? But yep, only one I haven't seen around is Crankcrase.

...Wait, are we countin' Grimmy? 'Cause I haven't seen the one we know, either.

[dadcepticon]

I… suppose he's technically one of us now. At least until we get back to Cybertron.

[heyloser]

Alright, so Crankcase and Grimlock. Just them. So close, but so far. [And an exaggerated sniffle.]

[dadcepticon]

[Spare poor Krok the melodrama. He's had a very stressful last few months.]

It would be nice…. [But how often does "nice" come without horrible baggage?]

[heyloser]

Got the whole "safety in numbers" thing going that way, too. Though, uh, might be more problems, too. Ah well.

It's actually pretty great to see you, though. Been a bit crazy 'round here lately -- my mun's got me as an organic in a place with weird organic creatures in a weird organic city and it's really weird, Krok.

[dadcepticon]

[…What.]

What.

[heyloser]

Yeaaaah. They gave me a weird worm thing.

Humans've got good versions of high-grade, though.

...I almst tagged you with one of my other MTMTE guys then though better of it. ^^;

[coward_techie]

Accounted for - er as much as that counts. [Fulcrum has never been so glad to see you Krok. Also wary but blame that on his pullpoint.]

See, now I'm curious!

[dadcepticon]

[Most of his crew is here and not dead. In some cases, only recently not dead. Krok is also not dead. This makes for a happy Krok, mostly. He's less enthused at the prospect of two Misfires and two Spinisters. But overall, he's happy.

See his smile? He's totally smiling.]

More than you think at the moment.

Oh lets just say Krok would Not be happy to see him. At all. >>

[coward_techie]

Really? [8D Wait- and have a nervous laugh.] I suppose it would. This place is creepier than the war-world and I've only seen Misfire around.

You're just teasing my curiosity more, you meanie. ;p

[dadcepticon]

I've run into you, Flywheels, and one of two Misfires – I'm told there are two – that's running around, and I hear there are two Spinisters.

[Krok isn't sure he really deserves that, universe. Never mind that he'll fight for the lot of them anyway.]

It's more… bizarre here than disturbing. So far.

Vos. And Tarn /)(\ also have you found a home for him yet? >>

[coward_techie]

[Two Misfires he could probably deal with - two Spinsters on the other hand?

Don't mind the slightly panicked look on his face.] You're - That's impossible.

Please tell me that's impossible. I like living! [And being unshot at.]

I kind of wondered Tarn, but Vos is a surprise! And yes, that's an unhappy Krok. Also no home.

[dadcepticon]

I've not run into them myself, but if Flywheels can be alive here, after… [Actually Krok's not going to say it out loud.] Well. I'm not sure I'd rule it out.

[Not that he wants to deal with two Misfires and two Spinisters. That's… that's turn-the-WAP-around-and-go-home worthy.]

On the bright side, you can't say we've never seen stranger. It's no bleeding worldsweeper decorated with brains and aborted protoforms.

I fell in love with Vos first. I'm sending this doofus to Rekindled - you should come.

[coward_techie]

Alive? [Cue confused blink. Krok you are making no sense.] What do you mean by that?

Last I know he - Er. Wanted to shoot me.

Rekindled? And yeeeeeeah, Vos means a very unhappy Krok indeed.

[dadcepticon]

The last I saw of Flywheels was – well, it was… he was dead.

[And then Krok had a face full of drills and didn't see anything for quite a while.]

Tempted to tag with Vos now. Not that he'd do anything other than scare Krok. (Mostly)

[coward_techie]

(( http://rekindlemods.dreamwidth.org/674.html - Pan-fandom fluffy slice-of-life game based on hugs. Transformers are only shrunken down IIRC. It's really fun.))

[..... Oh.

OH.

Fulcrum dry-swallows. It'his fault - or he's pretty sure it is and oh Primus can he go hide yet?] I-I'm sorry.

They -I should have - but I like living. I really really like living.

hehehehe

[dadcepticon]

((Certainly looks interesting! I'll have to look it through and go over some things to be sure, but it's quite tempting.))

Don't. [Sigh. Pinch to the bridge of the nose he doesn't have.] Don't apologise. It's done with. [And after all, Krok made the decision to fight. It's on his head if it's on anyone's.] What matters is – well, we're most of us here now, I suppose. Unless Crankcase took Grimlock and they're both out there hiding somewhere.

^^

[coward_techie]

(( Awesome. I hope you do decide to come.))

Y-Yea. [...He has to ask.] So you won't shoot me?

[ANYWAY MOVING ON-] Yea - But even with how big this place is we should have seen or heard them by now.

[dadcepticon]

[Hold still so Krok can throw an arm over your shoulders, Fulcrum.]

No. I'm not going to shoot you. As for the others, well… they may turn up. They may not. We'll see.

[coward_techie]

[He seems to relax at that - only to jump a foot at the sudden arm over his shoulder.] Let's hope so. It's - nice. To have decent Decepticons around.

Better than who else the organic has. [He lives with crazy, Krok!]

[dadcepticon]

I hesitate to ask, given the other insanity going round. [Krok lives with a bunch of strange organics and some Autobots. Still not sure which is worse.]

[coward_techie]

[Organics are worse than Autobots.]

Ahaha You don't want to know, trust me. [Krok, your failbomb may just be looking to see if he can hide *behind* you.]

[dadcepticon]

[Krok is probably not the best to hide behind. Grimlock and Spinister make good cases based on sheer bulk and overall hostility to forward threats.

Then again, Spinister will suspect anyone behind him.]

I'll… keep that in mind.

[coward_techie]

[Exactly!] Though - crazy and life threatening as it is, I'd take my chances with them than the organic game the organic's sending me to.

[He really really does not want to deal with organics. Backwards, inferior species no thanks.]

Because this is Dear Mun he will just scare Krok. Mostly.

[wearmyface]

[>|]

\o/

[dadcepticon]

[All Krok hears is drills.]

:3c If you ever wanna do anything off DM like a meme or something with one of my guys I'm game JSYK

[wearmyface]

[>)

So glad to be the bringer of nightmares. Pity the fun had to end so soon, genericon.

Too bad today isn't round two.]

oh gosh I hardly ever wander off d_m. bakerstreet goes so FAST.

[dadcepticon]

[Drills and grinders and Flywheels praying and–]

…Your face wasn't really my colour. For the record.

[Probably ought to leave the one-liners to Misfire.]

IKR. I've tossed Vos + Fulcrum up a few times as requests though :)

[wearmyface]

[He's heard better and more creative.

Still....

Fingers tap his chin in thought- If he could emote, he'd be smirking.] We-ar?

[So not sorry about the mangling of your plebeian neocybex.]

I will have to go poking about again!

[dadcepticon]

We've already done that one. And you don't have your friend here to hold me still for you.

[The nothing-face under the face and the sound of Flywheels' voice breaking into the shriek of tearing metal and pain running clean through his head with the drill-point in his optical cluster]

Ack sorry for the delay. I got the flu :<

[wearmyface]

(I can put Vos/Fulcrum up on any meme that catches your attention.)

[For a moment, Vos actually looks amused - You poor deluded spark.

But seeing as he's playing nice because D_M rating, all you get the equivalent of a raised optic ridge. An 'orly' look if ever there was one.]

Ack, flu is serious business. Hope you feel better/recover soon!

[dadcepticon]

[Click goes the trigger in Krok's hand.]

You act like I'm afraid of you.

[Terrified. Scared stupid. Trying to ignore the flashbacks. Not giving in to the weak feeling in his knees.]

Thanks. ^^ I hope I get better soon. Being sick is not fun :<

[wearmyface]

[Vos shrugs, crosses his arms and gives a pointed look, optics sliding to that trigger - What is it?

It's only a matter of time before your fear shows, Krok. He's been doing this job long enough to know that. But if you want to be brave, by all means - amuse him for a while.]
