shitposting rave 3: Dawn of the third rave

Oh, look! Signs of life. It's a miracle.
-he's smiling behind his mask-

 

No! Still dead!

 

Oh...

[He looks up at Venture.]

...'re Lae'n I one jet or two?

[Laeto crouches by Hippolyta.

...attempts to crouch by her, rather, and falls on his aft. Oh well. He keeps blinking at the other sparkling.]

Are squishcandies worth not being dead?

 

If you're dead, then I suppose I can take all this delicious metal I was saving for after your dinner and have it myself. The dead can't eat, after all.

 

Hmmm, well, you've got 4 wings, don't you?

 

Nope!! Only I have wings!!! [He wriggles around to show the little tiny stubs of proto-wings just barely starting to differentiate from the rest of his back plating. Good thing Venture's making sure he's not gonna fall over, because he's not paying any attention to balance.]

 

-sits bolt upright- NoIwannashareitwithmyfriend! -clutches onto Laeto-

 

Then maybe you'll be one jet! But, you know, being two jets sounds really cool to me, too.

 

[Laeto giggles and hugs Hippolyta back.] We can share metal and squishcandy!!

[He considers this for a minute.] ...can you be jets alone and jets together? Racin' yourself's no fun, but I wanna fly with Lae.

 

That's very nice of you, but you still have to wait until after your fuel, since you had some already. Also, I have to ask his parents first if it's all right.

 

I don't think so, but maybe if you were a tripleformer. Either way will be fun, though! I promise.

 

-offering to share was maybe a better idea than she'd thought. Laeto gets tighter snuggles-

-huge pout- It's okay! I know it's okay!

 

He might be allergic, or have rules about snacks like you do. I'm not even sure what metal this is, truthfully. Gold, maybe?

 

[Amused:] You got their records doc they haven't had allergies pop up yet. If the metal's safe for mortal mechs they can share all they like. [He's still idly petting Aralia's back, careful of the baby wings.]

 

Tasty metal!

 

[Aralia nods decisively, then grins up at Lacuna.] We're gonna get wings and fly and race you and Stentato and we'll win.

[More giggles and cuddling in return. Hippolyta is nice!]

 

-She gasps, mock-alarmed.-

My! What a challenge!

 

Gonna be Seeker king. Gotta be faster than everyone. And you got a lot of practice so it's a good challenge for practicing!!!

 

Once you beat us you have to practice for Captain Swiftwing, though! I heard Swiftwing is the fastest jet on Velocitron.

 

You'n Stentato then Swiftwing then atta. [More Very Serious nodding.]
