[The video starts with a brightly coloured sports car driving at top speeds towards a building. Within the last minute instead of stopping, it flips up and drives up the building's side, transforming once it reaches the roof. It's nothing too special. Just a tiny stunt.]


...That good enough, Sissel?



[PRIVATE TO: NEXUS PRIME]
Sir, Megatronus Prime said I should speak to you... If you aren't busy.

[dinnerdate]

Yeah. You're not bad for a human.

[Sissel can get a proper smile for that.]

[action]

[youdiedagain]

[He rubs his arm sheepishly, laughing.]

That's good to know. Getting a compliment like that from a Decepticon means something.

[action]

[dinnerdate]

Do you even know any other Decepticons?

[action]

[youdiedagain]

Not really.

But I've seen my fair share on the network.

[action]

[dinnerdate]

How do you know that it means something then?

[He gives Sissel another gentle poke. This is rather nice.]

[action]

[youdiedagain]

I doubt the others would be so friendly. Can't imagine that coming from Overlord.

[He swats again, laughing. ....wait. He actually laughed.]

[action]

[dinnerdate]

Probably not...

[Sissel gets a stare, he hasn't heard him do that before.]

You actually happy?

[action]

[youdiedagain]

[He's in a good enough mood to smile, or widely smile at least.]

Is it really that rare?

[action]

[dinnerdate]

Can't say I've been lucky enough to really see it before.

[Sissel gets a smile back and an overly gentle snuggle as Dead End pulls him up a bit closer to his chest.]

[action]

[youdiedagain]

[When he's pressed against that chestplate, he runs a hand along the seams, smirking.]

Lucky? Is it luck to see a ghost's smile?

[action]

[dinnerdate]

[For that Sissel gets the faintest little hum.]

Only yours.

[action]

[youdiedagain]

[You sure know how to make a dead guy feel worth something, Dead End. That hand brushes along that chestplate.]

I'll do it more often.

[action]

[dinnerdate]

[It's what you do for best friends.]

It's probably good for you.

[action]

[youdiedagain]

You've got to promise to do it more then too.

[action]

[dinnerdate]

I don't know about that, Sissel. I'm not that good at the whole happy thing.

[action]

[youdiedagain]

It's a two way street, Dead End.

You have to try.

[action]

[dinnerdate]

...I guess I could try. Can't promise more than that.

[action]

[youdiedagain]

That's all I'll ask for.


Thanks buddy.

[action]

[dinnerdate]

[He's just going to sit and cuddle the scrap out of Sissel for the rest of the day.]

I should be thanking you.

[action]

[youdiedagain]

Thanking me?

[He doesn't mind the cuddle, really. He can feel hot and cold, and right now? Dead End's spark is warm, emanating from that chesplate.]

[action] sissel. the human teddy bear

[dinnerdate]

Yeah. You're one of the few friends I have. In this place and back home.

[action] Yes 8D

[youdiedagain]

The feeling's mutual, Dead End.



Even if I don't have my memories, I have this. And I won't forget this.

[action] the teddy bear that most will probably think dead end kidnapped

[dinnerdate]

That means a lot.

[This is something he actually has. For now. It's not something to brood about, it's something he actually has.]

[action] yeah they'll think hes a permanent hostage or something

[youdiedagain]

We'll look out for each other. How's that?

[action] they should make a post one day that looks like he does

[dinnerdate]

...Alright. Just don't try and do anything too big for you, if I get in trouble.
