[Please, have Alpha Trion sitting at a desk, looking very distinguished while he sorts through a stack of datapads and musty-looking books.]

Hm.

It seems that I may have...misplaced...something.

No need for alarm, it's nothing pivotal this time.

[He looks around the library, managing to appear only slightly less sheepish than he feels.]

However, given the recent events, I took the liberty of checking for the Tome of Possibilities, and...ah.

It wasn't there.

[Oops.]

Has anyone noticed any missing pages floating--perhaps literally--about?

Barring that, could anyone give me a list of what has changed?

[If he couldn't get the pages back, he might at least be able to set a few things to rights. Maybe. Hopefully before there was any major damage done.]

[You. Sound. Senile.]

Hey good thing it wasn't anything dangerous, right? Hope they don't trust you with a fraggin' Vamparc Ribbon any time soon.

[Now Whirl? Whirl can totally be trusted with a weapon of wholesale destruction. He wouldn't lose it at any rate, most likely because he'd bolt such an awesome thing to his body.]

Changed? Yeah. We got kittens now. Apparently it's some big fraggin' deal. [Shrug. He will hold up the basket of kittens, in case you don't know what they are.]

Trust me, I am not pleased about this either.

[He is, in fact, negative pleased, which is something he's just discovered can exist.]

[However, he does notice those cats! Heavens, how did they escape again?]

Would you be so kind as to bring those to me?

Yeah? What's wrong? That your address book? You secret diary? [Oooh that could be fun. His mind reels with blackmail potential.]

....why? [Suspicious copter is suspicious.] Honestly not sure we should trust you with, you know, living things.

Ah, yes, of course. It is my secret diary, which I enjoy keeping blank. [He smiles, jesting with you.]

The kittens have inhabited my temple for some time now. Do you like them?

[Have a shrug. It's a very heroic shrug, at least.]

Hey I don't judge. Maybe your life's just that boring.

[HERO! But not one who wins the 'nice to old people' badge.]

Yeah? Someone needs to keep them out of the fraggin' trees, then.

[He narrows his optic.]

Why do you care?

It probably seems that way.

[His idea of a great afternoon is curling up with a new book from the pile, or going out and programming the landscape. Whee!]

They were safe with me, last I checked.

[Hmm.] Which means their removal was likely the cause of someone's interference. [Who was drawing pages of them being a hero, again?]

Still. There are more than I can keep track of. Would you like one?

[....Whirl would die of boredom just hearing that sort of afternoon described. No explosions? No shooting things? How do you call that living? ]

Yeah? Didn't check recently, did you?

[He'll wave his kitteny basket at you again.]

[Whirl thinks ONE is more than you can keep track of.]

You still haven't explained why I should give 'em to you in the first place.

I can give you several reasons, the first being that I have the facilities to care for them. [It's called a cat room. You probably would not be interested.]

The second being that I have this Tome here, [Please observe,] which has the power to alter reality to a minor degree. [In other words, it's generally not a good idea to make him upset.]

[Your cat room needs a lock apparently.]

Yeah. Like a lot of trees. [He is judging your kittencare abilities. ]

...you trying to threaten me? [Bring it old man!!]

Whirl.

You can either bring me my kittens, or you can become one of my kittens and I'll fetch you myself.

[NOW he's threatening you.]

Oh, wow. Some old rich mech throwing around power. Yeah, never seen this before.

[You do not want Kitten!Whirl, Alpha Trion. Think this over, because he would hurk up hairballs all over everything.]

OR, you know, you could say, 'hey, thank you, Whirl for rescuing my fraggin' kittens and keeping them safe and all'.

[It would likely be the first time anyone thanked Whirl for anything.]

Rich? Old?

[Now you've confused him. Your kitten time is near! However...credit where credit is due, first.]

I do appreciate the assistance. I had been worried, and you seem to have taken good care of them in my stead.

[He still wants them returned.]

Look. You're one of them First Forged, right? Big fancy palace? Yeah, tell me you're not rolling in shanix. Probably what you stuff your mattress with.

[Whirl uses LOGIC!]

Hnnnngggghhhhhh. Fine. But I get to visit them.

Our temples are large, yes. It took us a long time to build them.

[He, personally, had help from his books, but it still required a great effort of will!]

I don't believe we've settled on a currency yet, either. [Hm. Should get working on that.] What would you prefer?

You may come any time you wish. [He'll show you his cat room IT IS AWESOME its got boards on the walls for them to climb up and everything.]

By yourself? [Busy little bee, aren't you?] Must swing a mean rivet gun.

[You don't look like you have it in you, honestly.]

Currency? You should call them Whirls. [Duh.]

[You will regret that, A3. SO much. You're going to go into your cat room to find Whirl curled up on the Snoozemat covered in cats.]

I like to think so. Most of my temple was made through writing, however. [So he swings a mean...quill pen.]

I'll keep your suggestion in mind.

[He will give you a Might Scoff. ] You can't build anything with fraggin' words.

[Silly.]

You should. I'm full of great ideas.
