[The Link comes on with a jostle and a flash of blue.  Nope, not Thundercracker - or...well...technically, it kind of is, oops.  It's the little one - the firelizard, that is.]

[The other one, the Seeker, can be seen across the room.  He's . . . well . . . he's huddled in the center of his berth, knees drawn up, wings high and quivering softly, the other three firelizards - Screamer, Sky, and Numbers - clutched to his chest like he's trying to protect them.  He's attempting to wave at the fourth, but he keeps snatching his hand back from reaching over the edge of the berth.  He looks pretty freaked out, his voice a stressed whisper.]

Cracker!  G-get over here!  You don't want them to catch you, do you?

[He keeps darting glances around the berth like he's afraid there's a monster under it and it'll reach out to snatch at him any minute.]



((ooc:  Guess who got turned into TFA Skywarp! 8D found yellow energon crystals.))

...what?

[He looks confused.]

[notyourblueangel]

Dust...bunnies...

Vorpal dustbunnies.

[Someone was forced to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail with his wingmate once. Now his crystal-addled brain is confused.]

[The boy blinks.]

What's a...vorpal dustbunny..?

[And anyway, that doesn't sound all that terrifying for what Thundercracker makes of it.]

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

T-they're like normal dustbunnies, b-but more vicious. They've got big teeth! And t-they're able to tear through armor, even!

[happyduckbutt]

Are you sure? I don't think I've ever seen anything like that around here...

Re: [Video]

[notyourblueangel]

P-positive...

[Never mind that he's never seen...or even much heard...of any such thing either, here or elsewhere. He's going to be SOOOO mortified at himself later.]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

....

Um, are you going to be all right over there? I can come over if you want.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

I-I don't know...

[He'd like it if you did.  He really would.  Then he wouldn't be alone.  But...he doesn't want you endangering yourself either.]

Starscream . . . uh, the reverse one . . . h-he said he'd come too.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[Even if there was a reasonable source of danger, it wouldn't have stopped Ventus.]

Reverse...? -but that's good. I can come too. The more company, the merrier, right?

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

. . .

Would you? I-I'd kinda like that, actually.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Sure, of course I would!

I'll be right over.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

Thanks, Ven. I-I'll just…be right here…

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[Giving the Decepticon a nod, Ventus clicks off, and true to his word, he'll be there as soon as he can manage.]

[notyourblueangel]

[The door to TC's quarters is closed but not locked. No matter how long it takes Ventus to get there . . . if he calls or knocks first, he'll just be invited in BUT BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET TO CLOSE. If he just walks in, he'll find the Seeker still huddled on his berth, his fire lizards draped over his shoulders and wings trying to comfort him.]

[Action]

[happyduckbutt]

....Thundercracker?

[The familiar voice sounds just outside of the door, and Ventus will slip inside.]

Hey, it's okay...

[Action]

[notyourblueangel]

Ven!

T-they're under the bed. Be careful.

Actually, w-we should probably get out of here...

[His want to protect Ventus is actually helping combat the paralyzing terror - lookit that! He's shifting, albeit slowly, toward the edge of the berth.]

[Action]

[happyduckbutt]

Here..?

[Naturally, Ventus glances towards the bed and gravitates towards it in order to check it out.]
