[Why hello yes that is an Alia wearing a face-eating pair of heart-shaped shutter shades and a very glittery pink feather boa. She grins into the video feed.]

Greetings, Haven!

[The feed pans out to take in Knock Out as well, red paintjob shinning red even more than usual for the occasion. He has some v-cards on his hand and a mischievous grin on his face. Alia waves.]

Valentine's Day is coming up, and for all the people who will be missing the festivities this year, Knock Out and I have scienced [shut up that is a verb now] a perfect solution for all your romance needs! We have perfected a one hundred and twenty percent accurate matchmaking algorithm, perfect for bringing some interest and excitement into your love life!

Now, if you're not up on your Earth cultural traditions, don't sweat! We have you covered!

[Knock Out nods and then chimes in.] Now, what’s that entire Valentine’s nonsense about, you might wonder? Valentine’s a human mating festivity that mixes different courting techniques. One of the most common ones is the exchange of little notes with romantics statements.

[Knock Out clears his throat and starts to read some of the cards. To help everybody to get into the spirit of valentine day, Alia and Knock Out left one v-card in front of everyone's room door. In fact, just to get into the real spirit of the holiday, all the v-cards conveniently sport the forged signatures of ~~random people around Haven~~ the best match according to that very scientific matchmaking algorithm. Feel free to find yours and thank them.]

Enjoy all that love in the air! 'Cause if you can't get laid on Valentine's Day, the other three hundred and sixty four days aren't looking too good either.

This is how you're gonna use your time around here?

No, I guess I could also be complaining about other people's post and look sour.

Someone didn't like their secret valentine, it seems.

Edited 2014-02-13 21:30 (UTC)

I more meant there's constructive scrap people could get done instead.

We can do serious things the rest of the year, a special date is coming. All work and no play makes Ironhide a dull boy~

There, there, don't be shy. What about you? Is someone out there to shake your rusty pistons?

I'm gonna pass. This date ain't special to me, so no big loss.

I got better things to worry about anyway.

You sound like Ultra Magnus, you know? No fun allowed. Ever.

What better things? Nothing is attacking us at the moment.

I'm just sayin'...

I dunno if you noticed there's crazy bots runnin' around and dictators lookin' to take power again.

Kinda more important than some human holiday scrap.

Yeah yeah, those dictators will still be here tomorrow. You take one down, another appears the next day. It's how life works.

However, what's the point of fighting for life if you never enjoy it? [He's half serious for once. What a miracle.] Having a laugh now and then helps you to remember why you try to stop the crazies.

Not if you punch 'em hard enough...

Yeah, sure. And who's sayin' I don't? Just not right now -- kind of a bad time for it. Guess that's my point.

Your confidence is adorable.

Well, if you are sure. When do you do it then? Have fun I mean.

You get that kinda feeling when you punch Alpha Trion enough times.

Hit the bar. Take that Joe kid out for a couple wrestling rounds... scrap like that.

Alpha Trion? From all the FirstForged you chose the librarian one? [Knock Out's clearly not very impressed.] Next time go for Megatronus.

Joe Kid? You mean Bunny? Wait...ah, now I understand why you are not interested in other people's valentine cards. My bad.

[He thought that Power Joe had a girlfriend, clearly he was wrong.]

If he'd show his faceplates more than once, I would.

Yeah. What about...

[It clicks. And Ironhide's optics go very flat. Very hard. Real anger lurks there.]

It ain't like that, you get what you got left of a processor outta the gutter. He's a kid. I'm takin' care of him. Lookin' out for him. That's -- that's disgustin'. Assuming that kind of scrap.

You wanna go around pairin' off people so bad? Fine. I don't care what you wanna think about me, or fantasize or what the hell ever, but by Primus and his rusted back end, you're gonna leave the kid outta it or I'll separate your vocal processor form your neck.

[Don't imply he's dating his son, sir.]

And that ain't a threat. It's a promise.

Why not? Got a problem with a little love and peace, bro?

Uh, no?

Just mean there's more constructive scrap people could get done.

Like what? Interpersonal relations are important.

I dunno. Dealin' with the billion problems we got around here?

All work and no play makes a good 'bot go Maverick!

Say what.

Go crazy.

Why didn't you just say that?

I keep forgetting nobody here knows that term.

Probably a good idea to write it down or somethin' then.

Wouldn't do you any good that way, would it?

Kinda.

Then y'might not say it. And there'd be nothing there to confuse anybody.
