o11 ★ MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE OMINOUS, WHY DON'T YOU?

[electrowhipit]

[ FILTERED FROM DRONES ]

Sounds like something's going down, and soon.

I'm here to offer protection or help to anyone who wants it. Besides, I don't know about you all, but there's no way I'm gonna be able to recha-- er, sleep after that.

[electrowhipit]

No kidding.

... I dunno. One way or another, we should be on our guard.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Ah, well. Always next time... I've lost interest in staying in that house.

... I'm with you. I mean, for the protection part.

[electrowhipit]

Did something happen?

... I sort of figured you would be, but it's still good to hear.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

One of the drone children was replaced. I think I liked the drones better.

... So what's the plan, fearless leader?

[electrowhipit]

That bad, huh?

... You're asking me. For a plan.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

She threw a lamp at me, threw furniture out the window, insulted me, and told some insane story about driving giant robots.

... Yes. Bear in mind I haven't had a lot of... sleep... since... you know.

[electrowhipit]

... She wasn't the one yelling about how important she supposedly is, was she?

Maybe our first course of action should be to find a way to let you get some rest, then.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... that's the one. Did you speak to her too?

Right, after that little announcement? You'd have more luck convincing Ironhide to scale back his weapon systems.

[electrowhipit]

Yeah. She's a real charmer.

... You're no good to anyone if you exhaust yourself.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Never thought I'd be wishing someone were turned into a drone...

And you don't need to worry about me. I can look after myself.

[electrowhipit]

Still, we both need rest at some point. I'm willing to work in shifts, if you want.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Mm. Suppose so... Should I come to you, or...? Should we do this apart?

[electrowhipit]

We can't very well work in shifts if you're there and I'm here.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

So... I should head over there in the dark of night while strange radio broadcasts are all over whatever passes for a network around here?

[electrowhipit]

Well, when you put it like that...

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... I'm coming. I'll be fine.

[electrowhipit]

You better be.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Mm, you're so threatening... I'm utterly terrified.

[And with that, it's time to saunter off to Jolt's! \o/]

[electrowhipit]

[ He really is worried, though. So if you're not here in half an hour, he's going looking for you. ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[... in that case, there's a knock on your door in about half an hour.]

[electrowhipit]

[ opens the door aaand- oh it's Sideswipe. He sort of slips out of his fighting stance with a sigh of relief ] Hey.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He raises an eyebrow at that.]

... No, no. Go back to the pose. I liked that.

[electrowhipit]

Excuse me?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Nothing. Just... ignore me. It made sense before I said it.

[electrowhipit]

Well, if this town has its way, you'll get to see it again.

[ he steps aside, motioning you in ] Come on.
