shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

-not seeing Switch and not yet spotting Updraft in his cuddlepuddle, Shade wanders rather vaguely to a corner and settles down-

 

I m-mean.... Hydrablaze talks about you a l-lot... so I thought maybe we should... try getting along...?
[OH BOY THAT SURE TOOK A TURN FOR THE AWKWARD]

 

...wait, he does?

-Her actual bone of contention has been derailed. She's just surprised, now.-

 

Well yes he s-says a lot of um, not so nice things but in a... y'know. In a v-very obvious way? Um. Oh boy.

 

Obvious how? I don't get the implication.

 

[Ups tracks his path but his optics are the only thing moving about him right now. There isn't even any venting which is probably a bad idea but ask him if he cares right now because the answer's 'no'. It's much more important to subtly try and sink below Ignis' wings and hide there and just... not be seen. His spark chamber is aching in phantom pains again and that's not help him stay still right now]

 

W-well I t-think he might... hate you in a kissy way...???

 

-Lacuna.exe has stopped responding!-

 

-Shade is looking around without much focus; his optics sweep over the cuddlepuddle and then he doubletakes, looking back properly-

 

[Oh. No. He notices the stop and the doubeltake and the prolonged staring and look at that suddenly he's venting again except his fans dump all the heat at once, going so fast they almost break something and then clog right up again with a new wave of fear-don'tmove-nosound-hide washing over him]

 

-Lacuna looks between them.-
-She walks up to Shade.-

 

[offer??? pets??? Um???]
A-ah is this... is this a b-bad thing, i...

......
o-or not I g-guess...

 

-Shade is frowning slightly, as though trying to place something; he looks down as Lacuna approaches-
Hello?

 

I dunno what you did...

-She materializes a metal pipe in one hand.-

But I think you'd better walk away.

 

[Oh thank Primus, Unicron, all the primes and every single organic deity that has taken pity on him right that moment. Updraft relaxes a little again, still mostly hiding behind Ignis, which considering how eye catching Ignis is,was probably not a very smart idea to begin with]

 

...I beg your pardon...?

 

-She swings at his face, still looking bored.-

 

[Grump grandpa nod. Yes thank him for his Liege. Even if she has strange hobbies involving protecting mechs from other mechs or something. He does not always understand his liege. But it's okay. She' still his.]

 

-he catches the bat before it connects- Do you make a habit of attacking people minding their own business?

 

[ALARMED SQUEAK???]
LACUNA!!! W-WHAT DID HE EVEN DO???
