[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.))

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.]
