[The location behind everyone's least favorite helicopter looks almost like a workshop. And body parts. Seems Whirl's found himself Ironfist's impromptu workshop and yeah there's probably valuable SCIENCE in here, but whatever.]

[He's got dollies.]

[He'll hold one Acolyte helm up to the lens.]

Whirl! Whirl is the best Autobot!  

[The other helm.]

                                                                       He is a hundred million times cooler than Cyclonus!

[And now a puppet show!] And hotter than Rodimus!

                                                                        And soberer than Fortress Psychomus!

And smarter than Drift--Okay really, that's not so hard.

[Enough fun. Onto the srs bsns.]

Right. So, who all was that purple goon after again?  [Anyone he should actually give a scrap about?]

Comments

[youdiedagain]

[Sexy.

Sorry Whirl he's got his heart set on a red desklamp.]

I'll try to withhold myself.

[And he's off to stand outside for you, like some kid waiting to be picked up for school.]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Whirl will survive the sparkbreak. Somehow.]

Yeah, better not get all gropey when I'm flying.

[And here comes Whirl. Are you having second thoughts yet?]

[youdiedagain]

[Sissel sees Whirl, stuffing his hands in his pockets and striding towards him.]

Well look at you. On time, even.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Hey, I can follow timetable.

[Hope you don't mind sharing the cockpit with Splat.]

[youdiedagain]

[Hey, that's cool. Sissel gets inside, looking down at the cat. And...smiling.]

You have a cat?

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Why does everyone sound fraggin' surprised?

[youdiedagain]

More surprised that a cat is here than you owning a cat.

[Hope you don't mind him playing with it. There's just...something about it that makes him happy.]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Why? This way I can keep an optic on him. Make sure he gets all that 'intellectual stimulation' stuff everyone was talking about.

[ffff. They didn't think he could take care of Splat. Was he ever proving them wrong!]

[Splat doesn't mind being played with. As long as Sissel doesn't mind being pounced on.]

[youdiedagain]

[Sissel seems to be having fun with Splat, more than he thought he would have. Just...something about him.]

I'd say you're a pretty good cat owner, if I say so myself.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Because Splat is awesome, obviously.]

Yeah. Nobody gives me any fraggin' credit.

So where we flyin' to? Kind of need, you know, directions. [Can't keep the Mysterious Mystery act up at this point.]

[youdiedagain]

[He stops playing with Splat for a few moments, looking out Whirl's windows.]

Junk Pile. I'm not really picky as to what part.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Splat debates whether to attack or to fall asleep on the warm thing.]

Gonna tell me what we're doing out here or is that some sorta mystery, too?

[youdiedagain]

Do you want the vague answer or the detailed answer?

[A hand playfully messes with Splat's ears.]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Depends on how boring the detailed answer is.

[Whirl is the poster child for ADD.]

[youdiedagain]

Detailed answer is that I'm a ghost that can possess objects. I want to test it out in the junkpile.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Well that's a sufficient and unboring amount of detail.]

Cooooooooool.

Can you possess like...people stuff or just stuff?

[youdiedagain]

Depends on what you mean by people. Humans? No. Robots? To an extent. Just little things like moving your wings or tires.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

So, wait. SO. Like.

[You are blowing his tiny little mind.]

You can possess a datapad. What the frag good does that do?

[youdiedagain]

[TRY TO CONTAIN YOURSELF WHIRL.]

I guess I could...turn it on. That's about it. But I can also move cranes and fire guns.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Now this has possibilities...]

What about a dead mech? [Oh, Whirl hopes you're okay with him asking all the gory details.]

[youdiedagain]

That opens up a whole new set of possibilities.

Usually, I could only do the normal. Wings moving, tires spinning. But if they're recently dead...


But I don't know if it'd work...

[whirlybird_of_prey]

We should try it some time.


[It'd be coooooool. ]

[youdiedagain]

Recently dead things makes it mucky. I have one other talent...

But I doubt it works here.

I can...rewind time.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Just saying. You know. We run into something gross, you could do your thing. At least slow 'em down?

Hey, what happens if you're in something and I kill it? [Not that he's already planning for Acts of Excessive Awesome with Sissel. Nah.]

Rewind. Like to watch it again or do stuff to it? [Because the troll possibilities of the latter are just....about ready to get Whirl to propose marriage.]

[youdiedagain]

Like a monster of some sort? I could go inside and stop a few gears from working, I suppose. If you killed it, I'd just be in a heap of junk and need to be picked up.

[His hand rubs the back of his neck.]

I can go to four minutes before they die and...possibly alter that death. You know, save it.
