[Awkward silence for a few moments.]

Anyone here know how to dispose of a corpse on this ship? Particularly one that is... falling apart...




((ooc: Yes, the fish that so traumatized Mikaela, and had taken up residence in Ironhide's bathtub... has passed on. He's not allowed pets.))

It is my experience that you do not ask for anything.

[heavyweaponsbot]

You have that right.

/totally didn't get a notif about this

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Which means that the rest of us, your allies included, are left to make fumbling, awkward attempts at figuring out what you want.

... good job, LJ.

[heavyweaponsbot]

My allies know what I want.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Do they?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He growls]

Yes.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

But to have such a thing confirmed, you would have to ask them.

[He loves their little conversations so very much.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

And for that to occur... I would have to have allies here.

[Yes. He is bitter about that whole truce meeting still. And, y'know, Ratchet blabbing about the Megatron thing.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

How little you must think of your fellow Autobots.

[Oh yes, he heard all of that Megatron business. Not that he couldn't vaguely remember it from his time as Longarm here.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Not my fault they have abandoned their cause.

[He would like to forget all about it. Very much. And the next person to bring it up, gets punched.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

They have abandoned their cause of peace by agreeing to work out a temporary truce to bring about peace?

[That's probably the only reason he hasn't brought it up.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

That was not what I meant!

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Of course. Then what did you mean?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Stop trying to play games. Even if I were to tell you, you would twist it around.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[He pulls the saddest tone he's capable of - which is really more akin to his 'I'm deeply disappointed at your idiocy' tone that he used on 'Bee and Bulkhead the once.]

I am simply curious as to what other goal the Autobots of your reality have, beyond peace.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He snorts - Shocks, you forget he hates you. This tone is just annoying.]

Even Optimus knew that there would be no peace while your kind still functioned.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Shockwave knows Hide hates him. But he rarely gets to use that tone.]

Curious. Ultra Magnus managed peace for over one hundred thousand stellar cycles with a small number of us still online.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Curse you, Shockercake. Curse you.]

I do not know, nor do I care, who that is. No one called that here.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[He loves you too, Hidey-poo.]

And neither is your Prime. But a question, if I may. Would he pass up the chance at a temporary ceasefire if the truce would keep our people's hostilities from harming the other passengers?

[heavyweaponsbot]

I do not know. He is neither here, nor alive to ask.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

I was asking you. You seem well-acquainted with him; surely you can make an educated guess?

And from what I have heard from others from your reality, his termination was quite impermanent.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I am not required to justify Prime's actions to you--to make guesses for you.

... And stop speaking of him.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

I was simply expressing interest in a hypothetical situation. Of course you are not required to answer my question.

[He was just putting it out there, yo.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Fine. Then I will not.

[He doesn't wanna talk about Prime... yo.]
