shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

Devisiun! You know... the colony?

 

...I have literally never heard that word-- name? I'm gonna guess it's a name. There's still surviving imperial outposts somewhere? Wow, I thought they'd mostly ghosted in the last half of Nominus's reign.

 

Not Imperial. From before Nominus Prime.

I mean, that's what I've heard. There's a bunch of old colonies from the original Thirteen Primes. Fuck if I know which Prime is ours, though. They probably died horribly in the crash.

 

...you're pulling my stabilizers. Space travel hadn't even been invented yet when the Thirteen were still alive.

 

Uhhhh. Titans?

 

I'm from Iacon, sweetspark. And unfortunately, prior to the horribly classless introduction of Cybertron to the colonies via the Titan gates, the idea of the Thirteen establishing anyplace for new sparks to be born was laughable at best.

 

Iacon! I'm sorry I forgot.

 

...answer solely to Nova and his successors? Your point?

Ah, you're the esteemed Burlesque then? A pleasure, sir. [Ignis bows, wings fanning out behind him for a properly respectful display.]

 

It's alright, I don't remember it fondly. Frankly, there's a reason I identify by the BBC despite their genocidal actions upon Prion.

-Lacuna jumps up and hugs Burlesque's back.-

You're my faaaaavorite.

 

[He smiles thinly and sketches put an elegant bow of his own.]

Thank you. I've got only a rudimentary understanding of Vosian dances, but I've always admired the grace of flyers.

 

And you, mine.

[He carefully maneuvers her into his arms instead. Much more comfortable.]

 

Ignis is saying really stupid stuff, help me explain!

 

Spoiler: what are you even talking about

I'm sure you could teach me a few things yourself, if we had the time and you were interested!

 

I think we might be a bit ahead of him, sweetspark. By several million years.

I've learned a thing or two from organics, and the application of wings to grounder techniques is always delightful. Perhaps not now, but if I run into you again, remind me?

 

Yeah but the stuff about Titans are dumb. Titans aren't under anyone's control. Titans are closest to Primus on account of they're so tall.

 

I'd be honored!

[Ignis's wings go very carefully still, because if he doesn't control himself he's gonna be fluttergiggling all over the place. That's the most adorable thing he's ever heard.]

 

You can live in a Titan! And you can accidentally crash and kill a Titan! And you can scavenge off a Titan's dead body to rebuild your society! But you can't control a Titan! If Nominus was doing that it's bad.

 

You'd know better than I, sweetspark. I've never met a Titan.

 

Neither have I.
