Guys! Check it out! [riptide is clomping back with an armful of cubes. it's an embarrassing situation, but he's not about to let his friends starve over it.] I found a bunch of energon cubes.

Just lying around. What a... coincidence. Guess we're not gonna starve anymore!

[after watching megatron for a long while like a massive creeper, riptide believes he's figured out the ex-warlord's problem.

a stunning lack of christmas spirit.

now, riptide's understanding of christmas is exceptionally poor, but he still wants to make the effort. everyone was happier in the muppets christmas special and that's the best piece of media humanity has ever produced, so obviously it's right.

riptide has to bring out the big guns for this.]

hey whirl you busy
that's a rhetorial question i know you're not
but i'm being polite

[harderfasterwrecker]

this better be good or im using you for a tobogan at the next sand dune

[ He is actually completely right. Whirl was basically taking at nap as a helicopter so none of the squishies would ask him questions, talk to him, or engage with him in any way.

It also meant that most of the cybertronians would side eye him and assume whirl was being whirl so that worked well for him. ]

[knaval]

when have i ever not dragged you in2 something good WHIRL
litsen
listen
okay
im near the werid rocky place that looks like minimuseses face thing
u kno the one?
i have high grade and a plan
that will probably annoy megatron
r u in or r u in?

[harderfasterwrecker]

u said the only 2 words i needed

[ And within the next few moments, there is a helicopter flying over, and Whirl transforms in mid air and drops, kicking a lot of stuff into the air. Ugh. Whirl. Why.

Organic planets are the woooorst. ]

High grade. Gimmie.

Also, what's this about helmet head?

OTA

[redshitlord]

He found them cause I totally packed them and forgot about them!

[Why yes, he is going to just yell that out loud as soon as Riptide announces he has the cubes.]

[He said he would, after all.]

[It's a stupid, stupid idea, but he thinks he's helping.]

[knaval]

NO YOU DIDN'T I'LL FIGHT YOU YOU SKINNY LITTLE FRAGGER!!

[shrieked back.]

[redshitlord]

NO YOU WON'T, YOU'RE SLEEPING WITH ME!

[Yelled right back, as loud as possible.]

[knaval]

NO I'M NOT!

[literally and figuratively!! sideswipe pls he's been a moody turd]

OTA

[onlytwoexpressions]

[Minimus has been working himself incredibly hard in these last few weeks. Not only has he made it his mission to assist the organics in whatever capacity they need, but he's also seen to rationing what scant energon supplies they managed to bring with them before the Moira crashed.]

[As such, the Maximus Armor has been deemed for use only in 'extreme emergencies' as its fuel consumption is just not realistic enough to warrant its use at this time. That also means that the Maximus armor is largely unattended as Miminus goes about his duties.]

This will not do at all...

We need to find another source of energon, or we may not last.

[redshitlord]

Theeeeeeeeeeere's the weird purple water stuff.

[Says Sideswipe, who's currently sprawled on his back, head pillowed on his hands, and doing bicycle motions with his feet. He should probably be doing something more productive. But oh well, it's been a trying few weeks.]

It's gross but it works okay.

[onlytwoexpressions]

'Weird purple water stuff?'

Could you perhaps be more specific? Has this liquid passed clinical trials? Has Ratchet performed any tests on it? Need I remind you that ingesting foreign fuel could lead to severe consequences that we are ill-equipped for?

Honestly, Sideswipe, did you even read the datapads I passed out after the crash?

[He is sounding suspiciously like a towering robot who is also a member of the fun police.]

[redshitlord]

The stuff everyone found in the caves a while back.

[He doesn't answer half those questions though, just looking... well. Up. At Minims. Because he's lying on the ground and all. Still kicking his feet.]

[And now shrugging.]

Probably not. I was like. Super busy getting repaired.

ooooOOOOO

[iseedeadbees]

Figured that out all by yourself, did you?

[And along comes the least helpful person ever, looking anxious as all hell because of course he is. Have fun motherfucker]

[onlytwoexpressions]

I was wary, but with our current rate of consumption it's looking more and more like an assurance now.

Even with proper rationing, we may not make it.

[iseedeadbees]

It's amazing that you can be so calm about this.

[knaval]

[ignoring all their problems, as usual, riptide has found something stupid to be upset by. he hurries over to minimus.]

MINIMUS!! I urgently need your consultation!

[gosh, very formal.]

It's a matter grammar and... not being very grammatical at all!!

[onlytwoexpressions]

Riptide, settle down.

Where's the emergency? What grammatical mishap could occur out here?

Were you writing in the dirt again?

[knaval]

What? Well, yeah, but-- listen!

[he holds out a datapad. there's a bunch of notes on it.]

C--can you explain silent letters to me? I don't get it.

@RIPTIDE and whoever else wants to watch Drift be annoyed at Riptide YOLO

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[So anyway here's Drift meditating or some shit because what else are you gonna do when you're trying to conserve energy or right?? Right. Meditation time is ruined immediately by Riptide rolling in and being a loud asshole, but at least the loud asshole has excellent news RIGHT??]

...Not to pull an Ultra Magnus, but you know it sounds really suspicious when you word it like that, right.

[knaval]

Are-- are you accusing me of playing you guys? Like a fiddle? Like I'm misleading you away from this legit energon?

[he places the cubes down, one by one.]

I'm shocked, Drift.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

You're not doing the best job of convincing me otherwise.

[Drift just crosses his arms and looks DISAPPOINTED]

[knaval]

I literally don't even understand what you're suspicious about.

[are you being paranoid DEADLOCK]

drive by whirl

[harderfasterwrecker]

[ whirl in his most sing song awful voice as he jazz claws through the background]

Oooooooh look. You even made the hippie suspicious!

He's making his suspicion fins wiggle!

[ whirl sticks his claws off the top of his helm to stand for drifts dorky rabbit ears. Isn't everyone pleased.]

thank god

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[Drift isn't pleased he's not pleased at all. He's trying SO HARD to not look as displeased as he feels. God Whirl.]

You're reading too much into it, Whirl.

And they don't wiggle.

cuts in

[redshitlord]

Because he's covering for me!

[Yells the noodle across the goddamn camp or something.]
