[Blackarachnia's eyeing her glyph for a few moments, taking note of the larger size and the dark outline before suddenly realizing she should be doing something else.]

If anyone figures out what in the pit a black outline means, I want to know.

[She glances towards it once more before straightening up and frowning.]

Alright, listen up. I'm only going to make this announcement once more and anyone that doesn't vote can go frag themselves. If you want a say in whether Tarn or children stay on the committee, now's the time to speak up. Otherwise, don't come venting to me you didn't get a chance to have your say.

..I was a protoform before I was this, and definitely not black and gold then.

[She shrugs a little. Well, there was a theory that went out the window.]

[invisiblepinkboat]

You were a protoform that recently, or you've just not changed at all since you got your first altmode?

[Either is... interesting. How old is she?]

[treacherous_widow]

[Blackarachnia frowns a little. Why would she want to be anything else?]

Why does it matter. I like being who I am and there is nothing that's going to change that.

[Not as old as some of the bots around here.]

[invisiblepinkboat]

Curious question, is all. I know some who prefer not to change from their first altmode, or who finds one that they like so much they don't want to change... But it's not that usual, and often it rather means someone's young.

[Elita shrugs easily, nothing more than that behind it.]

[treacherous_widow]

My beast-mode is part of who I am. So if that makes me young to you, then whatever.

[invisiblepinkboat]

[Elita eyes BlackArachnia for a moment, then shakes her helm.]

We were all inexperienced once, but even if you're not, I was just curious. Like I said, I do know some prefer to keep their first altmode and doesn't want to change or upgrade at all, it just doesn't happen often.

[A bit impractical, perhaps, but a choice one could make.]

[treacherous_widow]

I never said I wouldn't upgrade.

[She smirks a little. Even though she loves her beast mode, she's not above enhancing herself for a better edge over the competition.]

[invisiblepinkboat]

Not found anything that feels right, yet?

[treacherous_widow]

I might have one or two things in mind. I just haven't perfected the blueprints yet.

[invisiblepinkboat]

Good luck. I know it can be difficult to find what you want sometimes. Since I wanted to keep the configuration I had as a boat, I had to get some help.

[She flicks her back-mounted panels in demonstration.]

[treacherous_widow]

[She glances at the back-mounted panels as they flicker. Her own spider legs twitch a bit. Yeah, she's not giving those us. They're too useful.]

Hopefully what I have in mind won't change my configuration too much.

[invisiblepinkboat]

[Elita chuckles briefly and dips her helm in a nod.]

It can be somewhat annoying when you want to keep something that comes up as part of a particular altmode configuration and is practical and of use for you on your own... but then you want to keep it beyond that altmode. I hope you'll figure it out.

[treacherous_widow]

I'm sure I will. I'm quite the resourceful bot.
