Audio Transmission - Test Five (Swap'd!)

[magnushammered]

[Oh hey, it's Shockwave's ID number again! ... So why does it sound like Ironhide?]

If I did anything untoward in the last two days, I apologize. I was not myself.

[There's a pause, and the thunk of the comm being dropped onto a table. He lets out a throat-clearing rumble. There's obvious irritation in his voice when he speaks up again.]

Then again, I suppose I am still not myself. This is Decepticon Agent Shockwave, and I have one question. Who is currently in possession my body, and what have you done with it?

((Shockwave is stuck in the body of his most favorite-est (not) Autobot, Ironhide. Have fun with him, kids!))

[Mikaela is having a WTF moment as well.]

Um. Why do you sound like 'Hide?

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Epic WTFing is go!
... Though he already had his horrible screamy looking-in-the-mirror moment.]

I would love it if I knew. The most obvious explanation is 'I have turned into him,' though it sounds like something Blitzwing might utter in one of his lucid moments.

You sound... male. Designation?

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm um. Not myself.


Like, at all. [Holy CRAP SHE'S A GUY OMG OMG OMG]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

... Mikaela?!

[What, it's reasonable that some crazy guy could've stole her comm, isn't it?]

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Yeah it's me. Shockwave, why am I a guy? [Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[He's trying to keep composed, really, but he's getting a bit rattled. He knows he spent two days as Longarm, he's listened to the conversations, and now this.]

I do not know. I... have no notes on this. We simply need to stay calm and think this through. There must be a rational explanation.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[She...he?! Is FREAKING OUT. Being a kid, okay, that's cool but THIS? NO. JUST. JUST NO.]

Notes? NOTES? There are no notes for this! This kind of crap just doesn't happen! No!

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Her(him?) freaking out is freaking him out D:]

Mikaela, please calm down. I am coming over. Where are you?

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[omgomgomgomgomggggggg.]

I'm...I'm in my room. And I'm not leaving. If...


[WAIT.]


I know this body. I know this guy. Does this mean...does...[HOWL]


OH MY GOD.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

I am on my way!

[And he discovers that Ironhide's alt mode is much faster than his, which is probably good. Knock knock.]

Mikaela?

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[She's (HE?!) charging through the door as he's knocking.]

WHERE. IS. HE. He has my body I just KNOW IT! [She's not mad at the person she's currently inhabiting, but dammit she wants to know if she's RIGHT.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Despite the loss of his mass-shifting (and the addition of joints that could probably use replacing), he makes a good show of grabbing her.]

Easy. Who has it? Have you tried getting him on the comm?

sorry for the delay, went out of town X|

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[Ack. As she's grabbed, she's still struggling.]

I did. I know who it is. That...Jeremiah. I'ma clock him a good one for this. [She knows it's not his fault BUT STILL]

it's okay!

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[He keeps a hold of her, as carefully as he can. He also keeps his tone low and soothing, trying to calm her down.]

He did not do this on purpose, any more than Ironhide would have.

Re: it's okay!

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[Okay. Mikaela can handle being a kid, really she can. But uh. This is just pushing the limit. She squirms for a few more moments, but then finally stops. He's got a point.]

...That's true, I guess.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Shockwave glances up to the ceiling, silently thanking Primus. He's glad that he made friends with one of the people on the ship who listens to reason.]

And we will probably not be stuck in these bodies forever, yes? That would be heartless even by the crew's standards. Everyone will likely be back to normal in a few days.

[... he hopes.]

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

We so better not be. [Mikaela has scales. SCALES. They're SHARP.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Things will get back to normal. [He's vaguely noticed that. It doesn't hurt to ask, does it?] That body is... not quite human, is it?

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

I...I don't know what it is. [She's so pissed. Soooooo pissed.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

... If I say it's fascinating, are you going to hit me? [He's... trying to lighten the mood a little?]

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[He gets a bit of a glare for that, but she doesn't hit him.]

I think it'd hurt if I hit you.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[C'mon, don't give him that look, you're going to make him feel bad.]

It never hurts to ask.
Perhaps he feels the same way about all of this. That Jeremiah you mentioned. And I feel the same way about being in this body.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[Hmph!]

I'm sure he does. He'd better not touch anything.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[:(]

Touching might make him miss his own body that much more; I should think you don't have to worry about that.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

...I meant like...touching my body. [She's hot, Shockers. She knows this.]
