I begin to loathe this boat nearly as much as aircraft... Going to rust in all this... damp.

Need something to keep from stiffening up. Some sort of exercise... Only so many times I can drive around these decks. Unlike some, I do not enjoy poking holes in turf, or studying these yellow creatures all day.

Hmnf.

Open to... suggestion.

You might try the gym, perhaps. Or running the stairs if you'd rather. Or transform-ups, even. If you are only in need of physical exercise.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I should have suspected you would respond...

Human equipment is incapable of... [muttered] supporting my weight [louder] ... Providing what I need.

Nothing to fight here.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Yes, Ironhide, I'm stalking you. This is all a vast conspiracy. Or the more likely answer is that I lack anything better to do than to attempt helping you.

I am uncertain about the reaction one would get from sparring.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Sarcasm is not necessary, Decepticon.

... You think I care about a reaction from the organics around here?

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Perhaps not necessary, but I do enjoy the annoyance in your tone when I use it, Autobot.

Likely you do not. You do not seem particularly to notice them. Beyond a few exceptions, of course.

[heavyweaponsbot]

You would.

None of them are the organics I was charged with watching over. None of them are in danger. No reason to pay much attention.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

How old-fashioned of you.

Speaking of diversion, how was that energon I gave you at the party?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Old-fashioned...?

... Fine. Why?

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Ignoring organics, I mean.

Simply curious. Because it sounded like you and Ratchet quite enjoyed it.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

I was not aware you required constant supervision.

If you are actually having issues with the moisture in the air, I will attempt to create some solution from what supplies I can find that might prevent rusting.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

[Oh, he is totally listening in on this. :|]

[heavyweaponsbot]

I fail to see how that is old fashioned...

...

What?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yes you were.

Why would I say I was, if I were not?

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

How did you survive before my arrival?

Your concept of what will and will not cause rusting has been known to be slightly skewed, Ironhide. If it truly bothers you, I will see if I what I can do.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I was not here long before you were. That is how.

It has not. But if you would rather spend your time poking at vegetation and that creature...

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

It has - If you took better care of yourself, it would not present an issue.

... Do not be foolish. I am a medic, first and foremost - I will work on a solution to the problem.

[roughcriminal.livejournal.com]

Wanna arm wrestle?

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Shockwave totally expects that; he did leave it unlocked, after all.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Different realities, I suppose.

Oh, come then. You had to have realized that I would be a little curious just what you would be doing with our surplus. I just happened to pick up your conversation with Mikaela.

[heavyweaponsbot]

That is your answer to everything.

You were spying on me--what... conversation with Mikaela...?

[heavyweaponsbot]

It has not. I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. Not my fault every Decepticon wants a piece of me...

Yeah yeah...

--how do you lock these things?

[heavyweaponsbot]

I would break your limb without meaning to.

[roughcriminal.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. Chicken.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

That does not mean you have to humour them.

Lock? Hmm...

[ A few moments pause as he fiddles with the communicator. ]

[ Private ]

There. I believe this is a private connection?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... What?
