Noisy Boy's got some friends here, yeah? You guy should be careful around him, old thing's completely blind. No question about it. All those punches to the head must have knocked something loose.

[AKA can you believe Noisy insulted his obviously gorgeous self?! Only blind people don't fawn over him. And nobody likes blind people.]

[That's it. He's tried to be cordial as much as possible. But now? No. No more mister nice guy.]

I would warn your friends that you are deaf, but I do not know that you have any here.

[goldblooded]

Who needs friends.

[He's ignoring the deaf thing.]

Bots that do not wish to be scrapped by dangerous creatures that occasionally fall through the Rift. Or by other residents.

I can only assume that is why you insist on trailing after me.

[text]

[goldblooded]

I don't trail after you.

[text]

[wakizashi_straight]

Then what do you call it when you follow me around?

[text]

[goldblooded]

Boredom.

[text]

[wakizashi_straight]

Curious. I call it 'desperation'.

[text]

[goldblooded]

I don't do desperate.

[text]

[wakizashi_straight]

Then stop following me. Because you appear desperate when you do it.

[text]

[goldblooded]

You can't tell me what to do. You don't have my controller.

[textjack?]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

You still gonna try to talk me out of shooting him?

[Offer's still open~!]

[textjack!]

[wakizashi_straight]

I admit that I would not be able to stop you if you tried. And while he is the only other bot from my world, I am becoming tired of his harassment and insults.

[Just don't tell him about it.]

[textjack...]

[goldblooded]

I haven't been harassing you.

And no one is shooting me.

[textjack...]

[wakizashi_straight]

He would very much like to shoot you. I had previously asked him not to.

You are making me reconsider that decision.

[textjack...]

[goldblooded]

He'd miss.

[textjack...]

[wakizashi_straight]

You underestimate the bots here.

[textjack...]

[goldblooded]

And they underestimate me.

[textjack...]

[wakizashi_straight]

I do not envy you the enemies you must be making.

[textjack...]

[goldblooded]

They're just jealous.

[whirlljack.]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

So? Punch him. I mean. Seriously. That's what you do, right?

[whirlljack.]

[wakizashi_straight]

I cannot without my handler directly telling me to. I was not designed to fight on my own. Neither was he.

[whirlljack.]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

So. Wait.

[Another mech might show some sympathy at your plight. But this is Whirl. ]

So he can't hit me. Unless someone says it's okay.




[IDEA.]

[whirlljack.]

[wakizashi_straight]

[...]

Whatever you are considering, I strongly disapprove of.

[whirlljack.]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Oh, wait. Wait. Whirl's heard this one before. It's like you're channeling Ultra Magnus or something.]

[Ahem.]

Your disapproval has been duly noted.

[SNERK.]

[whirlljack.]

[wakizashi_straight]

[Well, he is a rules-lawyer, after all.]

I am also not particularly pleased that you keep coming up with plans that I feel the need to keep you from performing on Midas.

[Whyyyyyyy]
