32nd Transmission -- Forward-Dated just a few hours
[An accidental transmission, this time. Silence at first. Is it recording from the site of the downed ceiling?
... Judging from the sudden gasp of air through intake cycles, no, it's not. There's no slow wakening when you're an Autobot. Everything comes back online at once. And you lie there, staring at the ceiling, trying to get your bearings.]
Where...? Oh.
[Metal creaks, and he groans, deciding against moving for the moment.]
What happened?
((ooc: So. What do you lose when you're a giant robot who wears no clothing? Or carries possessions? Either way, he's back in his room. Bracing himself for scolding.))

[Mikey flails his arms slightly and falls flat on his side, then rolls onto his back and sits up.]
Dude, what was that for?
[Pout.]
[Commentlog]
Trying to get you to snap out of this.
[Commentlog]
[He's cranky from lack of sleep and from his mind chasing its tail about the crying, and about Ironhide's death.]
[Commentlog]
[He pauses a second, glancing around the room. He's kind of getting the vague idea of what may be wrong, but he's not that sure of how to fix it. So he'll try this.]
You want to use the bed? Or... uh... refuel...?
[Commentlog]
Nah dude, I can't sleep. It's too loud.
[That's not the only reason, it is also unsettling the hell out of him, but it's not a lie. It's just too loud to sleep through right now.]
[Commentlog]
[He considers this for a moment. Organics can't shut their sensory input systems off, can they?]
This loud everywhere? You tried eh... top deck?
[Commentlog]
Yeah, it's everywhere. It's worse around the theater though.
[And it's haunting and disturbing and doesn't sound right.]
[Commentlog]
[And he's... awful at this comforting thing. Mikaela can attest to that. He glances over at the turtle. Then metal scrapes against the floor as he shifts over to just... sit. Next to him. A big black metal lump.]
Boat is a pain in my rusting old aft.
[Commentlog]
I'm glad you're back, dude.
[Commentlog]
[There's no way to hide the way he says the other Autobot's name. Or the little smirk. But it fades quickly and he snorts.]
You just like it when I say words unfit for protoforms.
[Commentlog]
[Small words, Ironhide. He's already at a disadvantage even before insomnia.]
[Commentlog]
[He really did not read the parenting manual.]
[Commentlog]
I do live with Raph, y'know.
[Commentlog]
... Yeah, he seems... fun.
