[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?

[raceme]

Thanks.

I will come over now then.

[Action!> Blurr arrives in a few minutes but he stops by the door to peer inside and make sure Ratchet is not really around.]

Action

[vandalization]

[She's in the main room, organizing things, she took her helmet off to talk to him, and when he arrives she lifts a hand in greeting.]

Hey, Blurr.

Action

[raceme]

[He's still not used to see her face, forgive him if he stares for a second.]

Action

[vandalization]

[She just smiles.]

C'mere, you.

[Arms up. You want to pick her up and get a hug, right?]

Action

[raceme]

[He is confused by what she wants, but yes he leans down and picks her up gently.]

Action

[vandalization]

[Good enough. She slides her arms around his neck and hugs him.]

Oh]

2/2

[raceme]

[It takes him a few seconds but he hugs her back, smiling. He really needed a hug.] Thank you... What's this for?

[vandalization]

Just for you. You look like you needed it.

[Squeeeeze.]

[raceme]

I...I... yes. [If Cybertronians could get teary eyes he would be doing that. He can't but his whole frame shakes slightly in response. He hugs her more tightly, but carefully not to hurt her in any way]

Thankyou Vandal.

[vandalization]

Hey. Don't worry about it. Any time, Blurr. You're a sweet guy.

[She stretches a hand over to pet his back comfortingly.]

[raceme]

Soareyou..I'm really glad to see you are alright. [He's going to sit on the floor to make things easy.]

[vandalization]

Right back at you. Though it sounds like you've been through hell...

[She settles into his lap.]

[raceme]

Things had been _complicated lately. [He can admit at least that.]I did some really bad things but I can't remember much about them.

[vandalization]

Yea, I know they have. But that wasn't you. You're gonna be okay.

[raceme]

I hope you are right..I really hate not being in control of my life. [He's going to hug her a little bit closer, hope you don't mind, Vandal.] Why was you wearing ^{the helmet} all the time? For protection? You are really pretty. [For a human, and all.]

[vandalization]

I know the feeling. [ After the church manipulated her... ]

What the uh- oh. Yeah I-

Pretty? Haha. You're sweet, but I don't really... I'm not really "pretty" by my species standards.

[raceme]

[Blurr tilts his head in a silent question.]

Then human standards are weird THERE'S more to people than just looks. [He smiles down and nudges her closer. His people can upgrade their body and change how they look so often those doesn't really matter anymore.]

[vandalization]

[It's actually stupidly nice to be told that. She smiles, chuckling.]

I guess humans are a little weird, huh? Thanks, Blurr.

[raceme]

[Stupidly nice things are often necessary.]

All living beings are weird. NoproblemVandal.

[vandalization]

Haha, that's true enough.

Really.

[She'll just reach up and scratch under your chin.]

[raceme]

[You know Vandal, if Blurr had a tail he would be wagging it. Gotta love some pettings.]

[vandalization]

Man... how can all of you goddamn robots be so fucking cute?

[Seriously. It's baffling.]

1/2

[raceme]

We are not cute. We are manly as hell.

[Blurr keeps us the serious facade for about, 3 seconds.]

2/2

[raceme]

I've heard that in a movie once heeeh
