Ship of Fools

Yesterday, the Lost Light's mission was to explore the universe. Today, it is to explore the multiverse! Ideally, we won't blow ourselves up along the way.

(from lostlightandfound, which unfortunately is a sideblog:) "You okay, dude? You seem to have a… plant. Or something." Rodimus has so far managed to escape the mistletoe shenanigans, mainly by being absent, but he’s watching it warily.

>> @lostlightandfound

"Oh Primus, Rodimus, stay far over -- don't let me hug you, maybe," Bumblebee stammers, finding himself approaching the mech despite his own warnings. "It is contagious and it forces you to be cuddly and I cannot stop myself. Please run."

[lostlightandfound]

"Uhhhhhh. Bee, dude," Rodimus says, backing up slowly, one step back to every step forward of Bumblebee's, "You’re starting to scare me a little bit. What with, you know, the whole hug zombie thing and all."

As Bee advances, those steps backward get bigger and faster, and his hands come up between them as if he could ward off the magic with a gesture. He has a vaguely bad feeling about all of this, and he'd like to keep the furniture between himself and Bee if he can, but turning tail and running outright feels vaguely mean and he isn’t sure it would even help much. He might just get flying tackled if he bolts.

"Is this the kind of contagious where if I have enough grumpy vibes it'll chill out a little, or the kind where half the multiverse are about to be getting all grabby whether they like it or not?"

" - Never heard of it - sounds very new. - " He grins at Deadlock, not bothering to move away from the mech's personal space.

" - You don't - really mind - " The hand next to Deadlock's helm moves, to nudge long digits underneath his chin to meet Soundwave's dark visor. " - Do you? - You could - push me away - if you did. - "

[lostlightandfound]

Deadlock bites him.

Not hard- or at least not hard enough to make a dent- but just enough to remind him that sticking fingers in someone's face is not, generally speaking, considered particularly polite.

"Whether or not I mind, eventually someone’s going to startle the wrong way and shoot you by accident. Why are you here, Batty?"

[xxgoingbattybabesxx]

There's a series of offended squeaks and clicks as he pulls his hand away, all coming from him - no crackle of his speakers whatsoever. Every tiny, adorable squeak is from his own vocals. They fade out as Deadlock starts talking.

" - Annoying people - is a specialty - of mine. - " He straightens and lets Deadlock go. " - Bored and wanted to - properly - get your - scent. - "

[lostlightandfound]

"And? Did I meet your standards?" Deadlock makes no move to put more distance between them, just props himself casually against the wall for a longer chat.

He's taking note of the squeaks for later. Best not to bring them up or provoke them in public, though.

[xxgoingbattybabesxx]

@lostlightandfound via

There is an immediate stream of squeaking and clicking when Rodimus bonks his helm into Soundwave's. The batmech steps away, hand over his face.

" - Rodimus - stop - flailing. - "

[lostlightandfound]

"Batty? What are you doing here, and why does that include jumping perfectly innocent captains?" Rodimus freezes a moment, then turns to look at him properly.

The expression on his face telegraphs just how much he Definitely Heard That. Nooooooo, the squeaks are so cute…

[lostlightandfound]

Rodimus is also not spared. Soundwave will catch him from behind, long digits on the captain's shoulders, tugging him back and into the batmech so he can nudge his helm against Roddy's and sniiifffff. Hmm. Spicy.

"Wh- hey?!!" Rodimus squawks and flails, and may or may not end up bonking his head into Batty's in the process.

[lostlightandfound]

Soundwave is making the rounds over here, mostly to stalk out a certain Deadlock. Once found, the batmech is almost gently catching him by the arm, other hand curling around Deadlock's helm, and then dipping low to almost tuck his helm into the junction between neck and shoulder, and sniiiiiiffffffff.

Deadlock startles, then pauses halfway through raising a hand to claw the mech's optics out once he realizes it’s just Soundwave. The motion turns into a comparatively-gentle nudge to his shoulder, instead.

"You know," he murmurs, "I've heard of this newfangled invention called 'personal space.' People seem really fond of it."

[lostlightandfound]

Rodsssss, rodsrodsrodsrodsrods, wanna spar?

When don't I? Name a time and place, dude, and I'll be right there to hand you your aft.

📱 for Anon :3? (This is from Chicken btw cjsjf)

What ringtone my muse has set for yours: Honestly probably just whatever bouncy, loud ringtone he has set as the default, sorry Anon but if he doesn't blast his ears off he won't hear it. Curse of Incompatible Soundtrack Vibes.

What contact photo my muse has set for yours: A picture of Anon swaying along to one of the songs at one of his screenings!

What my muse thinks of the way yours texts: I can't see Anon having a typing style obtrusive enough to give Roddy any particular thoughts about it, honestly.

How quickly my muse responds to your texts: Either he replies inside five minutes or he forgets about it for eight hours, there is no in-between.

How often our muses text: Every other day to every couple of days or so? A lot of it is probably memes and goofy photos from day to day Lost Light shenanigans.

How often our muses call: Given Roddy frequently ends up beholden to whatever the time difference happens to be wherever he is, probably significantly less often than they text.

Does my muse purposefully miss calls from yours: No, Anon's cool!

Last text sent from my muse to yours: so today went super well and there were no unexpected problems at all, as you can see [image: a many-colored sunset ignites the sky above an alien city. There's a crater in the square, which many cybertronians and aliens seem to be in the middle of repairing.]

I'm not sure what these guys' idea of "tall" is, if you count as short. (rodimus/@lostlightandfound)

Probably like, 50 ft seekers, if I had to guess.

But, like, we're solidly average height wise, Rods! And extraordinary in every other way!

[lostlightandfound]

Yeah- like, I've been short! Short is when you have to specifically make allowances for someone not being able to reach most of the shelves in the storage closet. If you don't need to re-do the hand grips on literally all your tools because they're not sized right, I don't wanna hear about it, you know?
