electricevolution | ⚡CYBERFORMED IC INBOX⚡

[ There's one interesting side effect about having ingested energon, one that Quickman doesn't even notice until about halfway through his vibrating across the ship. It makes sense though, in hindsight. There's so much energy inside of him, fighting to get out, taking every avenue it could-

Why wouldn't it somehow manage to turn all his weapon systems back on?

Laughing, quick boomerangs littering the hall he discovered this in, all his combat suites are in overdrive with the rest of him. Coding itching at his processor, chewing on him, and oh he could reroute it, burn his energy off in other ways, but where was the fun in that?

Quickman still has a slight to his pride he's nursing, after all. And juiced up in this moment, it feels like a pretty good idea.

At this speed, it seems like it takes no time at all to track down his would-be opponent. Speaking slower than his vocalizer wants to run right now is a chore, but he forces it anyway, wanting to be understood. ]

Hey, Sparky!

Elecman, correct? [ The voice on the other end of the line is slow and lazy, but only about as lazy as a tiger; Starscream is cordial, but he's also very much sussing out the mech on the other end of the line. ]

This is Starscream, Winglord and leader of the Brigade. You're the one Kagerou has taken to rooming with, hm?

While Elec is still at the Mall Rock has time to set up a perfect way to gift his baby brother the surprise.

He hikes up Pillows to make rows of seats. A teddy or two is set down, things Rock managed to purchase out of curiosity. But turns out they make great seat fillers.

Then the stage is set. A table is dragged to the middle of the room and the guitar set is hoisted on top. Where the light will shine best on it. There's bed sheets sown through some of the ceiling to make it look like curtains. Rock really wants this to be good.

and as Rock waits. And waits. His recharge clicks in and he winds down on the pillow seats stealing some of the audience to snuggle to.

Its okay he's sure he'll wake up and fix it before Elec shows up.

His brother and himself are so far from home. It... its good to have moments like these.

Sorry.

[ There's no indication of what this could be about. No clues. Elecman will just have to learn the story later. ]

Do you want me to duct tape my dumb brother to a wall for you

[ It would be several hours after the incident.. but Elec would finally have an explanation of some form from the serpent himself... Through a painted Search Drone with yellow lightning, seeking him out and eventually it will find him...

His voice comes through with a flick of hesitation. ]

This distance is safe yes? I'm far enough you will not see nor fear my presence... But personal enough to... I'm sorry, I'm trying...

I enjoyed your company, for what it is worth. I enjoyed dancing and tuning our poetry of motion... I got carried away.

You moved like wind and grace. I wanted to keep you entangled and I struck when I shouldn't... I will not say I didn't mean to Bite... but I only bit because you were beautiful... but I still shouldn't of.

[ It's careful phrasing, audio is perhaps not the best choice. But Texting feels informal and too much can be missed between lines that are never spoken.

But tone and vocalization is different... ]

During This

hey so i know this is out of the blue but this guy just approached me talking about quick and I don't know him but he's super suspicious. if I turn up missing I was last here with him at xx.yy coordinates.

[Attached to this message is a shaky photo of the antlered Megatron.]

The next time Elec returns to his room he'll find a surprise waiting for him while the Blue Bomber is away. Animals will play. The fortress is untouched, curiously enough, purposely untouched.

But there is an array of stray pillows leading around it. They're not all from this room surely. And at first one might assume Rock had gathered more. But its not Rock's style to steal what looks like well used pillow sets.

Lead round, round. Round. To Elecs bed, leading under it.

Hey, Elec! Hey! Would you call yourself.... ohm-portant? Get it? Cause the word ohm, and you're all in charge and stuff? Hah!

But no, I'm actually messaging you to see if you want me to take you flying? We can go chase wake around the outside of the ship for a while, whaddayasay?

[A video message prompt insistently chimes for attention on Elec's datapad. As soon as he answers it, Nova Storm's delighted face fills the screen]

Hey! Hey, Nerd! I have figured it out, I remembered! Something was bothering me all this time, but I have got that shit nailed down!

[She points at the screen]

Mr. Ouch! That slagging- its a stupid thing about electricity from human media from a half minute or two ago with a song and everything! Hang on...

[She taps at her screen for a bit, then sends him a link]

This one! [She beams] You're Mr. Ouch!

Elec

[ ... ]

Never mind.

Hello, Elecman. You may not know a thing of me but I know of you. A different you. My I don't think I'll ever get used to such silly time distortions.

I hear you and a brother I have have become fond of eachother. Young love. How envious.

But to the focus on hand. My name is Shademan. of the Seventh Numbers. I'm merely introducing myself to the other Dimension in the mean time I'm here.

It would be quite rude of me to leave you all in the dark. Given the hostility hidden towards us.

Elec?

[ Oh, it's been a while. Guilt brews in his tank over the absence, the continued absence, alongside the picked over remains of his strange last meal. ]

I

You don't have to respond. I am aware this may be a
a sensitive topic.

But I've heard you were reprogrammed, at some point. Made into something else. What was it like?

Hey, Sparky.

I just- Uh, shit- I just wanted to say thanks. I know it's real overdue, but, I need to do it, so-

Thanks. For the song. And the messages. And whatever that weird thing you did back then was.

Rock holds a little booklet in his hand. "Elec, Elec. I got a present for you!!" He holds the title away from his brother's glances.

"Since you seem to like all sorts of books, and I want to show support. I got something that might help you."

He flips the book over. "Reptile Pet Care And You."

Hey! You going to that party coming up? You're a pretty cool dude, why don't we go together and hang?

hey, Sparky.

I uh
I had fun hanging out with you and Crash so even though we're like sworn enemies or some shit

[ And he got a stomachache from all the weird stuff he was dared to eat... ]

can I ask you some questions? not a lot, like, three or some shit

[There is a quiet shuffle of fabric for a few seconds after the call is accepted, and then an equally soft voice]

Hey. Elec. That was pretty fun before, with Quick. Do you think- would you want to-

[Another shuffle]

...You were nice to Mega before, right? You helped him. So, uh. Thanks. He's- he's good. He's always been good. So I guess you're good, too. That's all.

There are many things Snake doesn't understand about the world known as dating, but did it matter when in the end it simply made him feel warm even in cold spaces? It apparently might of. Watching various movies, reading material, and songs... there are rituals to preform on occasion to make your mate feel wanted and welcome in your presence.

And Snake wanted his presence to continue to be just as warm to Elec as Elec was to him.

He carries a basket with a meal he hand picked and prepared for them. Various Powercells, Energy Cans, a little bit of wine, and though he couldn't reserve a heart of some great beast... this is a start?

He wishes he could crawl along the walls but with a basket like this it is better to walk the halls. Eventually he will make it to Elec's room and then the romancening can start.

He adjusts his arm and little unkempt undersuit, still though his helmet remains, tail and all... He has a bow tied round his neck and a corset under his chest. He's certain this is correct. And when he thinks he's a bit more presentable knocks on the door.

"Elec, I come baring surprises."
