[Voice] Trying Too Hard

[vandalization]

So that's it then. Everything is back to "normal". As normal as this place gets and we're all left a little more fucked up than when we started.

Let's talk, humans, bears, Autobots, Decepticons. We're all people stuck here. Some of us want to be here, some of us don't...

But.

I just want to hear something good.

It doesn't matter if we're friends or not. But I'd like to hear from you.

Have you made friends here?

Would you rather go home or stay? If you want to go home, what is it there that you miss?

What makes you happy?

Of course you are.

Oh yeah! Haven't I told you? Sorry. Yeah, when the war started, I found a bunch of young Cybertronians. I took 'em in. Eventually, they were reconfigured so they could fit in my chest if they needed to.

Heh heh, maybe you should keep that in mind if I ever ask you out!

[vandalization]

It's likewise, buddy.

Wow. So you wree like a mommy-kangaroo robot?

[She's suddenly acutely aware of how dumb she just sounded.]

Heh, well. I don't think I'm to the point of dating robots quite yet.

[Soundwave laughs softly.] Yeah, sure. Somethin' like that. I'll let you check out my tray, sometime.

Awww, darn. I could'a serenaded you. [He's teasing, of course!]

[vandalization]

Gotta say, that's kind of the cutest thing. Didn't know you were a dad. I think you probably belong with them, though. Nobody can blame you for that.

Well jeez, you could serenade me anyways you know.

[inferiordude]

...I miss them. So much. I wish I could have 'em here with me.

Hey, if you insist, I'll shuffle and pick the right song for ya.

[vandalization]

Maybe someday you will?

Sweet. Play me off, Soundwave.

AUDIO;

[inferiordude]

Yeah. Maybe.

Heh, lemme just find the right thing for ya. Got a style you like?

AUDIO;

[vandalization]

You got something beautiful?

AUDIO;

[inferiordude]

For you? No problemo.

[Soundwave goes quiet for a moment as he sorts through his selection, then chooses a song for her.]

Prepare to be serenaded, Joan Jet.

[And he sings for her, as promised. Hoping to inspire her to feel cared for.]

[vandalization]

[Have some applause.]

You're wonderful, you know that, right?

[inferiordude]

I appreciate th' notion, Vandal.

I'll sing as often as you need me to.
