shitposting rave 4: (almost) anything goes

[Lil] One suffers, the other dies. Each generation our family produces a pair of identical twins. At a young age one begins to develop signs- nightmares, illness with no discernable cause, but an increased ability to pull at the world's seams if they learn how. The other is unaffected until a point in adulthood where their health deteriorates rapidly- in the span of days- and they die. Oddly, the affliction of the surviving twin doesn't cease, though it does abate.

 

-A new Laverna has entered the rave! This one is dressed in Victorian early-mourning wear, but it's not quite covering enough and there's hints of deep, near-black violet where she could get away with it; utterly irreverent, but avoiding outright scandal-

Hm. Well. This is different.

-the observant in these matters might also note she's carrying no less than five concealed knives-

 

Less a memory thing, more an "detach the profit from bein' attached to a certain mech bein' reachable" thing.
So say gearstick's owin' me for a vid I gave 'im, but then gearstick's dead, or at the other end'a the galaxy. How'm I gon' get my cube'a engex with him unavailable? Well if we used shanix in this exchange I can jus' take my shanix to whoever's got a cube to sell and give the mech money and get my cube and no need to involve gearstick in the equation again, y'see?

 

It is no longer necessary. And in this place, the energon cannot run out.

 

O.O You mean I could get candy even if it´s not in the rations?

 

"Tetrahexian blue, yes. It´s got sodium in it."

 

...I guess? [He shrugs.]

!!!! Your rations had candy? No fair!

[Happy chirping! Thunderwing fits his fangs around the rim of the cup and tosses the tea back all in one go.

This was maybe not the best idea with oil balls in it, but it's whatever. He'll just. Eat the cup too and hope it forces them down instead of choking him. Yeah.]

 

Only sometimes. Maybe when we did something good?

 

It's always necessary!

 

-amused- That is not how you´re supposed to drink that.

 

Yep! Can buy candy whenever y'want if you can find someone willing to sell. P sure most people who know how t'make candy are makin' a killing if they do decide t'sell.

 

[Vaguely frustrated bug noises as he tries to swallow an unholy ball of cup shards and congealed oil. He does eventually get it down, hissing a little once he has his vocalizer back under control.] Maybe? Our rewards were usually just more fuel, plus whatever we looted ourselves.

Too late!

 

O.O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want paid!

 

I see that. -sips his own infusion delicately- It goes down easier if you don´t drink it all at once.

 

Not really, there´s plenty of it.

 

We should make them pay us, then we can get candy!

 

[Ratio snickers]
Take it up with yer employers! Or clients? I dunno what'cha employment sitch is. But requestin' shanix as pay should be doable. Jus' don't let 'em give ya too little, bugfriend, ya deserve a fair pay.

 

Okay but also. Now it is mine.

 

For now.
