005 - [Video]

[Jetfire's found his own sack of 'gifts', and while he's kind of grateful, he's also confused. Gifts? Just like that? One of them also had him extremely curious, but it didn't take long to realize that it was merely an extremely simple drone.

But that led to actually wanting to understand how it worked. Which led to this; the video comes on with Jetfire sitting in his room, turning some tiny bit of electronics around in his hand before he looks up.]


Was anyone else gifted with one of these... hm, fake-furred... "drones"? And if you're not amenable to keeping them, I am interested in them, if you'd be willing to part with yours.

[He's not sure what he'll do with them, but if anything, something could surely be done... or they could maybe be used as bases for something else. like spare parts, despite the lousy quality.]

... Starscream, stop that. I thought you weren't talking to me?

[Whatever the other Cybertronian is doing, and is doing in Jetfire's room, will probably go unanswered, as the video cuts when Jetfire closes the journal.]

You can have mine if you want. I'll just end up breaking it.

[Because the damn thing wouldn't stop interrupting what little sleep she actually manages to get.]

Do you want me to bring it to you?

[Just get it out of her room before the sleep deprivation drives her to be violent for once in her life, even if the damn little thing wasn't alive.]
muteforareason: (I know just how you feel)

[personal profile] muteforareason 2011-12-30 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there ever a time when he's not being difficult?

[Because she certainly hasn't experienced that yet.

It only takes her a few minutes to show up, the furby jammed against her side to stifle its babble as well as she can. Knock knock, Jetfire.]

[Jael shakes her head, an amused grin on her face as she tucks the thing under her arm so she can sign at Jetfire.]

/You're much too nice to be anything like that./

[She tries to peer past Jetfire into the room, an eyebrow coming up.]

/Well at least I know he's like that with everyone. But here, go ahead and take this. Do whatever you like with it./

[She holds up her furby, scowling when it opens its eyes and babbles something in its nonsense language.]
muteforareason: (And it's teasing me)

/I know you wouldn't be taking them apart if there was any remote chance it was alive. And unfortunately I'm becoming used to Starscream's tendency to be melodramatic./

[As quiet as Jetfire's words are, Jael's ears aren't just for show. She gives him a look but doesn't say anything.]

/You're welcome. I don't care what you do with it as long as it stops interrupting my sleep. I get very little of it as it is./
muteforareason: (You say it's all in my head)

[personal profile] muteforareason 2012-01-02 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jael can't quite suppress a grin.]

/Well I suppose he could be worse. I can live with the dramatics./

[For a second she doesn't reply.]

/Nothing, really. I guess I just sort of adapted to not getting much sleep. And now I can't really get myself to sleep for too long unless I've overexerted myself./
muteforareason: (The words are in my mind)

[personal profile] muteforareason 2012-01-04 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
/Well, I'm used to dealing with obnoxious people. I'll just have to keep my exposure to Starscream to a minimum./

[Jael frowns slightly.]

/Sort of. I mean, it would be better for me to get a full night's sleep, but I can function well enough on the few hours of sleep I get./

/I can be good at avoiding people when I want. But he doesn't bother me that much yet./

[Jael grins.]

/I'm not sure it would help. But I guess it won't hurt to ask the doctor here./
muteforareason: (You lighten up my heart)

/Well the people here are more than capable of taking care of themselves, Jetfire. /

[Jael smiles widely at Jetfire.]

/Don't worry, I will look into it. Even if nothing comes of it, I will at least have tried./

/Well so far he's just been annoying. If he gets any worse, I'll just have to do my best to avoid or ignore him./

[Unfortunately, Jael just things he's highly annoying and mostly harmless. Hopefully she never finds out just how dangerous Starscream can be.

She inclines her head at Jetfire in gratitude.]


/Thank you./

[Jael grins and turns to leave.]

/Well, I'll leave you to do whatever it is you're doing with those things. Have fun, Jetfire./

Take it.
heavyweaponsbot: (Broke my damn juicebox.)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2011-12-31 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't... really want to explain how he happened to get the thing.]

Not important.

[A pause.]

Yeah. You probably should.
heavyweaponsbot: (Give me the strength)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2012-01-01 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Left it in the bag. Shut up pretty quick.

[That, and he left the whole sack shoved in a corner, so.]
heavyweaponsbot: (Give me the strength)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2012-01-01 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
I will be here.

[Because where else is he going to go?]

[He's propped up against a wall and will not be budged. His shoulders drawn up, and a scowl on his face.]

Yeah. That there.

[Everything is still in the sack, too. He hasn't touched it, short of tossing it into the corner.]

Fine. Everything is fine.
heavyweaponsbot: (Shhh old Bots are talking)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2012-01-02 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Leave it alone, Jetfire.

[He sounds more tired than anything. His hand scrubs over his face. How many more times are people going to snap at him for not doing something he doesn't think is possible.]

... What about Starscream?
heavyweaponsbot: (Truth will show)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2012-01-02 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you hit him?

[Because clearly, that's how you solve your problems, when your name is Ironhide.]

[Especially when the problem is "Starscream".]
heavyweaponsbot: (Totally not sulking gdit)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2012-01-02 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I did not say hit him hard. Just... cuff him one.

[Smacking someone isn't violent, Jetfire! What are you talking about?]
heavyweaponsbot: (Soldiers stand or die)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2012-01-05 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He watches it with a tilted head, an expression suggesting a raised eyebrow.]

Hmnf. Point. Getting smacked around with his own limbs never taught him anything... How could you?

[He doesn't make it sound like an insult. It's not meant to be one. Just that Jetfire is about as far from Megatron as he can think.]
heavyweaponsbot: (Lose all we have found)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2012-01-06 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
The Decepticons never were that smart.

[He catches that look, and shrugs.]

Yeah. Megatron would take his parts and beat him with them. Happened sometimes.

[He says it so simply -- it's just a part of the war he was all too familiar with.]
heavyweaponsbot: (I will not bow)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2012-01-07 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Ironhide scoffs.]

Not like Starscream never deserved a beating or two. Would have done the same to him, if I could.

[Because the Starscream he knew was guilty of more atrocities than Ironhide could count. There was a reason he served the Decepticons as he did.]

Yours maybe just got lucky.
heavyweaponsbot: (Truth will show)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2012-01-09 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
I will say it again. Decepticons are stupid that way.

[Or insane -- after all, doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting things to change... that's some kind of sign of insanity, isn't it?]



Yours or mine?
heavyweaponsbot: (Hide your pain)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2012-01-10 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
And I am happier, that way. No sense dwelling on cruelty you have no cause to fight against.

[As far as Ironhide was concerned, the Decepticons could all bludgeon each other into scrap metal, and he wouldn't care one bit.]

[There were enough atrocities inflicted on the innocent, without worrying about what the other side did to its own.]

Don't take them all, some of the rest of us might want something to try and use too.

*Granted 'drones' weren't really his thing, but it was better than nothing and it had a sort of computer in there somewhere.*

[personal profile] thii2ii22tupiid 2011-12-31 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
Er, right.

*They were better than the other stuff they had here! Well, mostly cause Sollux wasn't going to take apart the rest of the gaming stuff.*

[The larger golem knows something about the smaller ones apparently.]

[........makes sense.]


"Drones"? Is that what they are?
