Audio Transmission - Test Nine

[magnushammered]

[Shockwave sounds surprisingly calm, all things considered. He pulls the sheets off of his bed, which can probably be heard over the comm.]

This is highly unusual. And unexpected. How odd, to have five digits once more...

I will not rant and rave about my current state. I refuse. Instead, I will inquire as to proper etiquette and care of an organic body - I am woefully unfamiliar with humans in this capacity, I am afraid.

And might I trouble any of you for clothing? Or something to cover an... empty space, as I seem to be missing an optic.

God, you too? [Well, this ought to be interesting.]

[She's still bristly with you, btw, but she's too nice to not offer.]

I...can bring you clothes, if you want.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Curious, isn't it? [He keeps staring at himself in the mirror because this is just TOO WEIRD.

He's still feeling kind of awkward about the whole thing, really. He's glad she's still willing to offer help, though.]

If it will not be a bother to you.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, you could say that. [She coughs; she's feeling a little guilty for being...pissy, but she can't help it. She's still annoyed.]

Not a bother. I'll be up there in a second, okay?

[She just has to head to deck 12 (again) to hunt for clothes for another...humanoid Transformer. wtf, boat.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

I will be here; the door will be unlocked for you.

[He's ignoring the temptation to put on that mask - yet - and using his sheets as a toga. ... And trying to straighten up his pack-ratting mess a little.]

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

...Fine.

[She left her room, and practically ran to find something for him. She felt bad for pretty much hanging up on him a few days ago, and also for her odd inability to even confront him about wtf her problem was. Once she finds a few things (she has no idea what size he is), she heads back to his room.

She stops outside the door, heart twisting awkwardly in her chest, and she realized she found herself wishing she'd made sure she looked okay (even though she still had the sliiiiiiightest tinge of blue to her skin.

She's not nervous. Right? Right.]

Um...Shockwave?

[Does she get to see his purse collection now?]

[femmescreamed.livejournal.com]

Oh,hohoho. Well now.

Seems several of us are experiencing this little problem.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Once I recieve confirmation of Blitzwing's status, I believe that all of the Cybertronians will be experiencing this.

Though I doubt this is anything permanent.

[femmescreamed.livejournal.com]

Oh, wonderful.

...It had better not be!

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

At least it is not just the Decepticons. I loathe the idea of the Autobots using the opporunity to turn me into a red smear on the deck.

The other changes I have been through here have not been; I have high hopes.

[blitzmeister.livejournal.com]

[Blitz hasn't seen any of the Transformers yet, but he's used to robots and non-organic beings.]

You didn't put on a mask, did you? They seem to be causing most of the chaos right now.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

I have not, though I must admit I am curious about the one I found in my desk.

[Shockwave makes a quiet clicking noise as a verbal shrug.] I am used to changing forms. While this is certainly more... [Fragging INSANE-] drastic, I will adapt to it for as long as it is in effect.

[blitzmeister.livejournal.com]

[Hm. That means there are more things to watch out for than the masks. Blitz marks that to remember.]

I take it you're one of the more colourful passangers, then? I haven't quite aquainted myself with everyone yet, so... forgive my rudeness.

[The melody of Be a Clown (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpcOoCWejD0) can be heard over the comm, but no the lyrics. Blitz has the purple mask on, yes.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

I will admit to being remiss in the same capacity, sir. And I am; I am Shockwave, current leader of the Decepticons. We are usually... robotic, though that is not an adequate description.

... Music? [The only reason Shockwave is waiting is because he'd really like an eyepatch first. And he's distracted by how tacky he might look in yellow.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Just... laughing. At you. Again.]

Epic HTML fail, Lawl -_-

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[He was fully expecting this.]

Tactful as ever, dear Ironhide. Tell me, how is being... 'sqiushy' fairing for you?

There there...

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Do not call me that.

Fine. Just fine.

[He lies.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Damn. Thought I had found a good one that time.

You are still a terrible liar.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

I personally find it fascinating. So long as it is temporary, I fail to see the problem.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

As do I. I do not know why everyone seems so upset about it, truly... And it will likely be temporary. The other effects this ship has leveled on us have been so.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

It is an excellent opportunity to understand the humans - There is only so much one can garner from research without experience.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. First-hand knowledge can be quite useful. Besides, this will make taking notes so much easier.

[Stupid human-sized pens and notepads.]

[tldriving.livejournal.com]

That really isn't the most odd thing about it, though if you're looking for human clothing it should be simple enough to find on deck twelve.

You're missing an optic?

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Mikaela brought me some. [He sounds vaguely awkward saying that.]

Indeed. I was never meant to have more than one optic, it would seem. But apparently I look dashing in an eyepatch.

[tldriving.livejournal.com]

Did she? She's been very helpful with all of this, actually, it's quite admirable. [He is very lucky Blurr is slow to notice awkwardness.]

That does make a certain amount of sense, that you having only one optic would carry over, I mean. Though I certainly don't know about that last part.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

She did. And she has been. We are lucky to have her here. [Sometimes he's grateful that Blurr is so slow on the uptake.]

I though so as well. As to the other... well, you have not seen me in an eyepatch before.
