shitposting rave 3: Dawn of the third rave

-pauses-
...Okay!
-hands the datapad over with only the slightest trace of hesitation-

 

Wow, you all look great.

-She hesitates herself, before pulling out a datapad and scrolling to a picture of her and Stentato standing together as newsparks, before their paint got so scratched and they realized how little the world cared for them.-

Here, you can look at a newspark picture in exchange.

 

...beautiful composition, yes, the color balance is exquisite... Wonderfully clear, too.

[Would it be rude to say she can't tell the difference between the identical boats in the picture? It's probably rude. And would make Jetski sad. She's not gonna say that. Just keep talking about the technical details, that'll be Fine.]

 

It wasn't until later after one of the lifeguards yelled at me and told me that I could have just asked her to call back that one who's boyfriend I needed to question that I thought about it!

Hey, I'm not the dumbest cop in my department, I just get easily get distracted by food and have a little trouble with tunnel vision is all

 

You look lovely!! =]] Newspark pictures are always sweet!!

Yes, it's a lovely picture!! -hands the datapad back to Focal juuust a little bit hastily- Very well composed!!

 

...Mm. Quite.

[Something is wrong; she can't tell quite what, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that she can't even pick her own amica out in a photo where there's only one other person, even if their alts are of the same make. She turns her head to hide her visor in his side.]

 

-snuggles her closer, still for all intents and purposes bright and cheerful-

 

Riiiiiight.

Glad we don't have to work together is all I'm saying man.

 

Yeeeah. Man, we were dumb as scrap.

-She takes the picture back, smile a bit sharp.-

 

-Focal pats his shoulder comfortingly.-
Want a copy of the photo? I can go through my archives and give you the whole photoshoot too if you want?
... Sometimes it's helpful to have the pictures, when you want to point things out. About the lake. The lake's pretty good.
Not as pretty as the Horizon Island though :P

 

[Hastily-smothered robot distress noises apparently sound something like that screaming microwave from earlier.]

 

does your culture not have humor is that how youve gone millions of years without being told your team name is the lie-lies

literally all i did was make fun of your name dumbfuck name and i dont gotta think your whole culture is beneath me to do that so i hope you didnt sprain anything in your shoulder reaching that far

cool yeah aight

 

-so brightly it almost causes one to miss the meaning of the words- I know the feeling!!

-chirpily, evidently running off a spiel- Lake Depolito is the shining gem of the Skyreach Archipelago, a jewel in the crown of an area of absolutely outstanding natural beauty! So it's not just pretty good!
-his smile is actually genuine-
I would like the pictures, thank you!! There are some things I like to remember about home!

-cuddles her even closer, protective almost-

 

-He immediately backs off waving his hands in front of him defensively-
I-I'm sorry ma'am! I didn't mean to...! Sorry!

I'll send them.
And so sorry, but Horizon island has waterfalls and the best sunset on Obrizon soooo~

 

-She pauses, surprised, and then nods.-

Hey, so, I heard you have an organic pet! Got any pictures of them?

 

Well yes we've been told that joke. Usually the punchline is being on the wrong end of a blaster barrel.
What was that about humor?

 

[Stays face-downsideways in his torso, one hand splaying out over the plating hiding his spark chamber.]

[Responding "normally" would involve unburying her face or vocalizing, neither of which is happening. Blue text floats between her and Focal, turned so it's legible to him.]

Not Focal's fault. Apology unnecessary.

 

Ah, I think you'll find no sunset can be perfect if not framed by mountains!

-brightens- Of course I have pictures of Twisty!!!! =]]] -pulls out a datapad which appears to consist entirely of pictures of a tentacled hell-beast with teeth and claws that bears a passing resemblance to an Earth swan. from the few pictures with Jetski present for scale, it looks like Twisty is only slightly shorter than Lacuna herself-

-strokes her helm and nuzzles it, making reassuring noises-

 

Aw but you are clearly distressed and...
Look I have more pretty pictures of nature...
Or would you prefer I heat up a cup of energon with some rust flakes?
I...
*he fidgets, clearly unsure hwo to deal with upset emotions without defaulting to service*

 

That is a peculiar way to say "Rainbow Algae colonies beat all other natural phenomena", Sir.
