Why is it that organic fuel constantly appears in my presence? I have neither desire, nor capacity, to ingest this... Eugh.

Anyone want this scrap?

[Ironhide is offering up his Valentines candies to anyone who wants them. The stuffed creature--resembling a bull terrier--he picked up, and examined, but decided it was going to a special home.

Anyone who wants candy is welcome to either knock on his door, or pester him over the comms.]

... Maybe Feet. You have two feet, hmn?

[This makes perfect sense to him. Words should be the same!]

And you defeated your enemy?

[Commentlog]

[Ironhide's logic is infallible.]

Well we thought we did. But like, he came back later and totally tried to kill us again.

So we beat him. Again.

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[If only because of its creator's thick skull.]

Why is it that our enemies never end up as dead as they should, hmn? You think you have them down, but they simply reappear in the middle of a forest!

You beat it enough times, it should remain dead.

[thepartydude.livejournal.com]

Dude, you are so right.

There's gotta be like, a club for super villains. And they all get magical regeneration powers or something.

[Mikey wiggles his fingers.]

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

A club? How does a club give them superior repair capabilities?

[Even so, he sounds amused.]

[Commentlog]

[thepartydude.livejournal.com]

Dude, they're super villains!

[Mikey waves his arms as if this is the most obvious thing in the entire world.]

They have like, secret lairs and nuclear rockets and evil henchmen. And then the hero always comes to save the day but the villain never dies because then there wouldn't be another comic!

[At some point this stopped being about the Shredder and Megatron, and all about the Silver Sentry and Mikey's favorite comic book characters.]

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[In the face of Mikey's flailing around, Ironhide might as well be a statue for all he moves.]

... They have what? What comic?

[The subject change hasn't really occurred to him.]

[Commentlog]

[thepartydude.livejournal.com]

Y'know, comic books! Dude, I learned everything about super villains from comics.

That's how you know how to beat them.

[This makes perfect sense to Mikey.]

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

I doubt Megatron's weaknesses are detailed in books.

[Ironhide has never read a comic book in his life. He'd probably tear it if he tried.]

[Commentlog] Oh the irony

[thepartydude.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean, dude. If there was a comic about the Shredder, he'd have been way easier to beat.

[Commentlog] seriously |D

[heavyweaponsbot]

But you did, hmn? You took him down?

[Commentlog]

[thepartydude.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like, twice.

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Then I doubt you ever needed instructions.

[Commentlog]

[thepartydude.livejournal.com]

That's part of being a ninja, dude. You gotta know how to improvise.

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He appears to consider this.]

Such as... hitting your enemy with a tank... instead of your cannons?

[This is totally improv!]

[Commentlog]

[thepartydude.livejournal.com]

... that'd work.

Like, if Plan A and Plan B don't work, you make up Plan C as you go along. And still kick butt!

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Yeah, something like that.

[Instead of the trademark thwack, Mikey receives a slightly less... enthusiastic tap. He's trying to be careful.]

[Commentlog]

[thepartydude.livejournal.com]

[That's a little better, and Mikey grins like a kid who just got praise from his favorite uncle.]

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He snorts, smirking slightly, and gives him a careful shove.]

Go eat your... whatever that is. I will not waste your time.

[Commentlog]

[thepartydude.livejournal.com]

Thanks, dude.

[Mikey stacks up the bowls, then heads back to his own room to nom on delicious candy.]
