[AUDIO TRANSMISSION]

[dinnerdate]

[Someone has the best timing from wandering out of the badlands.]

I died, didn't I? ...Figures. I look horrible... If I did, what was the point in bringing me back? I'm not exactly worth anything. Seems like a wasted effort.

My processor is killing me. Don't... really know where I am right now. Not that it matters, I'll probably just end up dead again.

...

The planet's not about to explode and kill us all, right? It would be my luck to come back just for that.

Dead End?

[Wow, great timing man.]

Wondered where you went. Explode? Nah, but there's some kinda zombie monsters currently invadin'. Easy to kill, but be careful coming back.

[dinnerdate]

You wondered where I went? ...Why?

[Sigh.]

They'll probably eat me. Not that I don't deserve that kind of death.

[neverputincharge]

Cause you went missing.

[Duh.]

Considerin' they're zombies made out of fleshies, I doubt they could eat you. Injure ya? Yeah. Kill? No.

[dinnerdate]

You sure you're thinking of me and not someone actually important?

...My luck is that bad, I wouldn't doubt they could.

[neverputincharge]

No, I wasn't. I know where the guys important to me are.

Hey, they're taken out with one shot. As I said, easy to kill. [By Cybertronian standards anyway.]

[dinnerdate]

I'm not important...











And I don't have a gun.

If you were brought back then clearly there was a reason. You must be needed, friend.

[It's been a long time, but he remembers you and your bartending skills.]

[dinnerdate]

I think they just made a mistake.

[No one ever needs him.]

[winged_knight]

Does fate, the universe, make mistakes?

[It's all in the perspective.]

You have a greater worth that is likely too large for even you to see.

[dinnerdate]

All the time, I'm sure.

[Unfortunately his is pretty bleak.]

And I really doubt that... Unless this place is that desperate for a bartender.

[winged_knight]

How do we know they are not part of the grand design though?

[Things perceived as mistakes do often bring great unexpected benefit.]

Well is was up to Blurr and I, who both were always quite busy. Keeping the bar functional and open to anyone was important to community. I'm happy you stepped up to do it.

[dinnerdate]

I guess we don't, but it doesn't make things any better.

[It would be nice to believe that there's a reason for things like this, but it really just seems like no more than a mistake to him.]

I- I didn't have much else to do around here... And Blurr can't make drinks.

[winged_knight]

I'm merely saying it's all up to your perspective. Mistake or enigmatic mystery of the universe!

Your choice!

[And he means that Deadend, he's not messing with you.]

[dinnerdate]

I've never had a good perspective on things... But.


Thank you.

[winged_knight]

That might change someday too, just be open to the possibilities.

[No easy task though, even Wing knows this.]

It's my pleasure, Dead End.

[dinnerdate]

...

I guess I could try.

[deadlydoctor]

Ey, Shunshine, you are back indeed.

And you have great timing, another monster invasion is happening. Before you die again, since you enjoy doing that so much, why not go out and blow up some zombies?

[dinnerdate]

What's the point? It won't make a difference.

[Did you miss his cheery self?]

[deadlydoctor]

Always looking the bright side of life, don't you?

[Oh yes. Very.]

[dinnerdate]

I was just saying...

[deadlydoctor]

You know, I sort of missed your cheerful spirit, Death End.

[dinnerdate]

You didn't even notice I was gone, did you.

[Don't lie to him Knock Out.]

[deadlydoctor]

Ha! I did! Both times!

[Have a little faith you.]

[dinnerdate]

...Really?

[deadlydoctor]

Yes, really.

You don't think me that oblivious, do you?
