35 // Hidey-Hole [VOICE]

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

[Somebody sounds tired as hell, and maybe even a little sore.] Iz... Iz it szafe to come out yet?

Why were the fleshyb-- the not-imPortz szo angry? [A sharp, pained hiss of an inhale. Obviously this can't be seen but he's trying to tend to various minor wounds.] And why did szo many try to hurt Wazpinator after he talked to them?

What doez "mint condition collection" mean?

Comments

[notsoloyal]

There is no way mint condition was at all referenced towards you.

permavoice

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Well, good! Wazpinator doezn't even like mint!

permavoice

[notsoloyal]

It has nothing to do with the flavor.

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Can't fool Wazpinator! What elze would it be!

[notsoloyal]

There is a thing called the internet, Waspinator. I suggest you use it. Maybe you will learn something.

( a few minutes later )

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

... What doez 'die cazt' mean?

he is faceplaming forever

[notsoloyal]

... It is a metal casting process. Again. The internet is right there. You cannot be that idiotic.

how is that any different from usual

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

[an awkward pause, beofre he grudgingly and quietly mutters;]




Wazpinator doezn't understand mozt of Wikipedia...

he is doing it....sciencely?

[notsoloyal]

Have you tried looking through library books?

yes. yes he is.

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Nnnnno? Why would Wazpinator do that?

science facepalms for all!

[notsoloyal]

To learn?

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

To what?

[notsoloyal]

...




[Opens mouth. Shuts it.]



...



You cannot be that stupid.

SPOILERS, HE CAN

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Well of courze Wazpinator knowz what learning iz! But how would Wazpinator learn from weird human library!

NEEDS TO HAPPEN

[notsoloyal]

Some of the books in there can be quite useful. Especially for understanding things that you are presently unaware of.

[Waspinator, Slipstream probably killed some of your fans. Or at least those who were chasing you. Because that's how she rolls.]

It's as safe as it ever is.

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Mrzzzz. Not szaying much.

How did Slippbot manage with the crazysquishez?

permavid

[seekerfemme]

Surprisingly well, actually.

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

[..... should he be scared.......] And how did Slippbot do that, mrzzt?

[seekerfemme]

[Yes, he should.]

Oh, I simply took it upon myself to offline any of them who were pretending to be one of us.

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

... Pretending? Why would anysquish pretend to be a bot!

[seekerfemme]

Stupidity, most likely.

[fromscarsdale]

Mint condition means something's perfect. Like, right how it came outta the factory.

SAME also late screams

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Ooouuuuuh.

... Like, newly made?

/patpat

[fromscarsdale]

Yeah, sure. It's when it's as fresh and new as it can get. Real cherry. Right out of the box.

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Then why did that make fleshiez szo angry? Szeemz like a good thing to Wazpinator!

[fromscarsdale]

Well... Did you open any boxes?

Humans are simple creatures driven by hormones and instinct. Don't expect that there's any logical reason for their reaction.

Unless they were simply irritated by your voice.

[permavoice]

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Mrzzzzt! What iz wrong with Wazpinator'z voice!

[trialbyfiretank.livejournal.com]

The speech impediment, primarily. Human mouths are not complicated enough to excuse it.

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Rzzzt! Wazpinator haz a glitch, okay? Nothing to do with human mouthz!

[trialbyfiretank.livejournal.com]

A vocalizer malfunction was significant enough a characteristic of yours for the AI to transfer it to your human form? That's - rather pathetic.

I might pity you if I were at all inclined to feel sympathy.

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Wazn't szignificant! Porterbot juzt... Choze to keep! Choze to keep Wazpinator'z wingz, too, szo Wazpinator will take what he getz! Mrwzzz!

[trialbyfiretank.livejournal.com]

Are you so sure? The Porter does tend to keep recognizable traits. Though you are the first flyer I've met who has been allowed to keep his wings, so you should be thankful for that much.

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Wazpinator waz firzt flyer at all. Firzt Cybertronian to get to City at all! Szo maybe waz one time thing. Wazpinator izn't complaining.

[trialbyfiretank.livejournal.com]

First in the City, perhaps, but don't expect me to be impressed by that. This City barely merits a footnote in my life history.

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Matterz to Wazpinator! And szome otherz. [something that miiiight even be a sly tone of voice is creeping into his words, now.] And newbot doezn't know when he'z going back, no matter how old he iz. Might even die a human!

[trialbyfiretank.livejournal.com]

I've gotten used to death over the eons. In this case I might welcome it, if it would free me to return to fulfilling my purpose.

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Rzzzzzt? [SHOULD HE BE AFRAID TO ASK......] What iz fleshybot'z purpoze?

[trialbyfiretank.livejournal.com]

Whatever Unicron wills it to be.

Think of it as an extension of the Decepticon purpose, if that's easier for you to grasp.

1/3

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Mrrzzzz, Decepticonz turn into Predaconz! Can't--

[wait.]

2/3

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

[................ unicron?]

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

... What did fleshybot szay hiz name waz again?

[trialbyfiretank.livejournal.com]

Predacon? One of the newer models, then - a shame. I always found the die-cast designs more reliable, but it is the nature of all things to degrade over time. Even production lines.

I doubt one as young as you would have heard of me.

... unless you're an extremely well-disguised Unicronian scholar. [Somehow, he doubts that's the case.]

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

Brzzzzt! Of courze Wazpinator haz heard of Unicron, izn't stupid! [... debatable.] And Wazpinator izn't hearing any namez to be able to know for szure!

[trialbyfiretank.livejournal.com]

Then consider yourself lucky I'm not him.

I haven't had a proper name since well before your design was even conceived, but you may as well do as the rest and call me the Fallen.
