[The video feed pops on to this:
  Around the kitten, you can see the rippling silver folds of...is that a cape? You've seen that before, recently, normally dangling from the spindly shoulders of Haven's favorite helicopter. (Since his competition for that title is basically Airachnid? Whirl wins. By a tiny, tiny bit.) The kitten moves forward, bumping the camera with its nose and then, a voice, familiar enough.]

Graaah This sucks.

((ooc: refers to this ))

Whirl?

[No. No, he refuses to believe this. Giant pandas make more sense!]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

What? Can't you see I'm busy?

[mccrane]

Did you make sure to turn your page in?

[Because...you should be un-kittened by now. He's worried about you.]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Yeah. You know me. I'm all about the paperwork.

[Riiiiiight.]

[mccrane]

I can come and get it for you. [He's got Wing's to turn in, anyway.]

...

[However, something isn't right.]

Are you a cat, or not?

[Have a perplexed scientist, Whirl. No, this Perceptor hasn't officially introduced himself to you or been introduced to you yet (he was a little distracted upon his arrival with being attacked by a giant spider, and then with reality altering itself and worrying about Drift and all to have done much of anything in the way of introducing himself around yet, you know), but he looks similar enough to the Perceptor you know better that you should recognize him. Be gentle; he's a nerd, not a sniper.]

You speak! How intriguing!

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

....Perceptor. Figures.

[video]

[schrodingersbot]

[Perceptor's optics open wide with surprise!]

Have we met?

[Yeah, he keeps forgetting that there's another him here and people might recognize him. Then again... he's talking to a kitten. Last he checked, kittens didn't exactly pal around with transformers. (No, he doesn't know about Alpha Trion's kitten stash yet.)]

How does such a tiny body produce such a voice?

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

You shot me! Or don't you remember me without a scope in the way?

[He's only half-assedly looking at the feed.]

...wut? [Tiny? THEM'S FIGHTING WORDS.]

[video]

[schrodingersbot]

Scope? [Ka-blink]

Oh. Oh! I, ah.... am not that Perceptor.

[No, this is the one that talks.]

[He brightens back up again at Whirl's "question". Someone who wants an explanation! Frabjous day!]

Your incredibly diminutive stature [read, tiny] does not seem adequate to produce such tonal quality or volume! By what manner do you make this possible?

[The one that talks... a lot.]

>permavoice

[raceme]

Oh you kept the kitties?

Kitten

[whirlybird_of_prey]

One. Because no one gets one over on Whirl.

[EVER!!}

ppff

[raceme]

It's ^really cute.

Pity about _your cape though WAS it longer than the fi-rst time I saw it?

[whirlybird_of_prey]

It's also....

[Wait for it]

Mine.

...what's wrong with my cape? [Seriously. Is the mech with the blue handle on his head going to offer fashion advice?]

[raceme]

Yours? [Is Whirl even capable of taking care of another living being? Blurr doesn't even want to think about it.] What are you going to name it?

Did It grow? Seemslargersthanbefore. [Oi, do you have something against head spikes,lamp?]

[Presently sifting through junk, Slipstream glances at the video.]

Talking animals now, too?

[She's also rather clueless about some matters.]

[Video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Eh, why not. Whirl keeps the video on Splat.]

Yessss. And I will KILL YOU IN YOUR SLEEP.

[Video]

[dontasktrix]

[Is the link having sync problems? Slipstream would probably pay closer attention to that, if she weren't busy laughing shrilly.]

What are you a giant kitten?

[Video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

You'll never know until I show up and shred your curtains.

[Muahahahaa.]

[Video]

[dontasktrix]

Who says I have curtains?

[She's biting at her lip, trying to remember if she's broadcast video from her personal chambers. Then, she shakes herself from this reverie of past conversations.]

Even if I did have, it's not like you're the only being with claws. [See, pointy metal digits. Laughter.] You probably can't even manage to leak on me!

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

...

Well, this certainly is a development.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[The camera revolves up to that face you know and love so much.]

You gonna lecture me, too? [Seriously. People think that just because Whirl blah blah necrophiliac blah blah tried to off Springer blah, like he's a bad mech or something. ]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[he's so close to smirking, SO CLOSE, but then he just sighs] No. I'm not going to lecture you. Because I know you apologizing for what you've said is impossible. Just... I mean, I'm sort of concerned. Given how small you are, and what with the traffic here - Do you need help?

[The idea of kitty!Whirl being crushed under a robot's foot is the saddest thing ever.]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

...?

I don't need help! The frag?

[He's vaguely touched but also weirded out.] This is Splat. Fraggin' kitten.

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Have an Ambulontastic sneer.] Right. Okay.

[The kitten. The adorable ball of soft fur, and big, adorable eyes, looking so lovable - promptly folds arms over chest]

I don't see the appeal.
