Waspinator&#39;s Journal

*shows up*

Hey... I missed out on all the fun, didn't I?

From:

bw_waspy

*just getting out of CR* Oh... hi Femme-bot... Waspinator played storm-tag with Friend-bot and green-bot... *slight frown* Waspinator is not sure if green-bot play fair tho... Lightning was acting strange around green-bot...

*scowls at the Predacon computer, where a warning flag on his file is reminding him again of the 10GB error log the CR makes every time he uses it...*

From:

Something wrong with your computer?

So you think that "green-bot" can manipulate electricity? Possible. I've seen Shrapnel do it often enough.

From:

bw_waspy

Could be... Waspinator was paying more attention to storm than to green-bot, so cannot be sure.

If Green-bot can, is that not playing fair in storm tag? *not mentioning for now that Harpuia also caught him when he lost control at one point*

*looks over to computer* No... computer does that every time Waspinator uses CR. Is error log, because of glitches... *exasperated annoyance* if bring it up it says error log exceeds safe amount and should be looked at by qualified technician...

Waspinator just deletes stupid error logs...

From:

Hmm...

No, using special powers isn't playing fair in storm tag. At least not going by Decepticon rules - I've got no idea how Predacons play it.

From:

bw_waspy

Waspinator only ever play with Dactyl-bot before this. No weapons, no interferance, and Waspinator and Dactyl-bot not have any special powers...

From:

*nods*

I used to play with Skywarp and Thundercracker and the other Seekers...

From:

*warps in, looking rather scraped up and bedraggled, bits of leaves, twigs, and dirt clinging to his armor and stuck in the cracks in some of the armor plates* *recently got on the bad side of Harpuia* *disgruntled greeting* Waspinator. *about to ask to use the CR, then notices someone else in the cave* *annoyed*

From:

*looks at the little xenomecha with a bit of a disapproving look, noticing his dirty state*

From:

bw_waspy

*starts to smile when Forte shows up... and then freezes for a second* What happen to Friend-bot?

From:

*mouth twists bitterly* Got in a fight with Harpuia. He didn't like me beating up his boyfriend. *sneers* *refuses to say who won and who lost* *eyes Steadfast distrustingly* *bluntly* Who are you?

From:

*just as bluntly* Steadfast, Decepticon air warrior. Now who are you?

From:

*folds his arms* Forte Wily. *has no titles, but doesn't bother to say that - the name Wily is title enough where he comes from*

From:

*gives him a reserved look that indicates he hasn't earned her respect yet, and isn't on the way towards doing so* So you're a sly one?

[Devi: She's taking the name "Wily" literally - on Cybertron, names have meaning.]

From:

*shrugs* *sarcastic* Depends on who you ask. *doesn't get where the comment came from*

((Actually, Forte's first name probably fits better than his last name. Forte is a musical term for loud and strong.

And I may be slow to respond. Doing a rushed piece of request art for someone.))

From:

*keeps up the abovementioned reserved look*

From:

Feh. *irritated* *decides to live with his injuries rather than humiliate himself by asking to use the CR tank in front of this stranger - not to mention how weak it would make him look* Waspinator, when you're not... busy, you know where to find me. *turns around, intending to leave*

From:

bw_waspy

*wings droop a lil, sad that Forte isn't staying... follows him as far as the cave entrance... and then spots something green in the sky* What is green-bot doing here?

(pick up in thread below? And I don think Waspy was ever told Harpuia's name ;) )

From:

((Good idea.))

From:

bw_waspy

*watches, hiding a trace of worry*

From:

*flies nearby Waspinator's nest with a box* I wonder if he's home.

From:

bw_waspy

((Well, there's a 30-ft tall purple Seeker standing in the cave entrance... and Waspy an Forte both nearby... so shoudl be easy to spot :) ))

From:

*walks out of the cave... and stops in his tracks, growling* YOU.

From:

bw_waspy

*has noticed Harpuia, wondering why he's here... then notices Forte's reaction... gets out his toxin rifle, keeping it ready...*

(no, he hasn't a clue what's goin on... he doesn't know Harpuia's name, so he doesn't know that 'green-bot' is responsible for Forte's current injuries)

From:

*to Waspinator, indicating Forte* *sarcastically* Is your friend always this sociable, or is he on his best behaviour today?

*looks at the small green xenomecha with the pointy things* And who is this?

From:

bw_waspy

Is green-bot... from storm-tag earlier. Waspinator was never told green-bot's name...

*frowns a bit* Waspinator does not like this... *keeping his toxin rifle ready, and not taking his optics off Harpuia, to Forte, hoping for an explanation* Friend-bot?

From:

*ignores Waspinator, not about to explain that Harpuia beat him up not all that long ago* Hey, Harpuia, you done babying the little wimp yet? *glares*

((Methinks Harpuia-mun is not online anymore.))

From:

bw_waspy

*hears the name, and several things finally click into place in his mind and make sense... raises his toxin rifle, apparently intent on introducing Harpuia to the wonders of cybervenom....*

((Joy... RP Freeze (which could be hard), or figure Harpuia left when it looked like he's about to become a target instead of a guest?))

From:

*stands back, intent on letting the small guys settle things between themselves*

((The latter sounds reasonable, but it's up to you.))

From:

((Nah. I was involved in another RP with him and he's gone silent there, too. He probably got called away, maybe to dinner or something else.

Yeah, RP lock.))

From:

((Harpuia wouldn't back down just because he thinks he's become a target.))

From:

(It's quite obvious Harpuia is in no condition to fight. His armor is stained black from taking so many lightning bolts, his delicate frame has been mashed out of place by several hail balls, and his eyes are red from pure pain.))

I'm not here to fight you Forte. I came here to ask Waspinator for forgiveness and to give him a gift for being such a ... dick. *turns to Waspinator and bows humbly before him*

From:

bw_waspy

*a bit suspicious, since Forte was so angry at seeing Harpuia... but lowers his weapon* Is this about storm-tag game?
Waspinator accept apology for that... should have explained rules better.
Is not fair to catch other players because is insult. Waspinator was not in stasis lock. Interfering is like saying Waspinator is not good enough flyer to pull out of dive on own.
Is also not fair to use special powers...
(yep, he's guessing on the lightning thing... and I think he's waiting to see what happens between Harpuia and Forte before putting his weapon away...)

From:

*low growl, but refrains from attacking Harpuia, partly because he's allowing Harpuia to finish his business with Waspinator, partly because, in the back of his mind, he's extremely wary of any bot that can send him through three solid walls in one throw*

From:

*winces and sways slightly* I'm sorry about that Waspinator. I didn't know, and I don't think I can play storm tag with you. Lightning will always follow me. It's just the way I was built.

Instead of civilians getting hurt in a lightning storm, I was used to disappate the energy. I've done it so long that I've forgotten how to stop it. I'm sorry.

*pulls out the box and hands it to Waspinator* I hope you'll accept this as an apology.

From:

bw_waspy

*considers, then nods slightly and puts away his gun to take the box... he won't mention the storm tag incident, but he's too concerned about Forte right now (and hiding it) to be in much mood for conversation. Notices the swaying.*

Green-bot should get repairs... Waspinator would suggest using CR, but CR would not know how to repair Green-bot.

From:

*inside the box is a six foot long sword, made completely out of black glass. It is apparent that it was done recently, and was reinforced with a method unknown to this time period. The blade glows green and hums, almost like a swarm of angry wasps.*

No. This is my punishment for not being honorable. *stares at Forte* Do you want to fuck me now or later?

From:

bw_waspy

*sees what's in the box and quickly puts it down, expression shocked and a bit angry* Waspinator does not even know Green-bot! Why Green-bot doing this? Is not something to make fun about...

*hurridly heads inside, heading into the cavern to the left of the main room (the one with the strange glow, see profile), doesn't want anyone to see him upset... leaves the box behind, and was careful not to touch the sword at all... does not want to be fere with Harpuia*

(open mouth, insert foot... giving someone a sword has a serious bit of cultural signifigance with TFs...)

From:

*insert weird look on Harpuia's face* I probably offended him again. *insert pained look as his systems start beeping at him* Looks like it'll have to wait for another day.

*pauses and takes the sword into his hands, considering just how much it would hurt to smash it, and decides that it's not his anymore.*

I suppose it's up to Waspinator to do with it as he pleases, destroying it or not.

((v.v Sorry.))

From:

bw_waspy

((if it's left there, he'll never pick it up or touch it, and it would upset him to see it... But if Harpuia won't take it, will have to think of somethin here.
Giving or exchanging of sword-gift is the formal part of acknowleging a fere relationship... a rather tight sort of adoptive sibling thing. Think X and Zero - they'd probably qualify as fere.
Waspy has only met Harpuia twice, and so the giving of such a thing looks like he's making fun of the seriousness of such a matter... a really hard thing on the Wasp, since he had a fere once before (now dead)... and has only recently been considering explaining the custom to Forte...
Wish Steadfast-mun was on... I don like that poor Harpuia doesn't even know what he did wrong, and her chara could explain...))

From:

*looks at the scene with optics widened in a shocked/scandalized expression - being a Cybertronian herself, she's well aware that Harpuia has committed a big social plunder*

I don't know what you were thinking, but this is not the right way to go about an apology...

From:

*is just as confused as Harpuia probably is, but hides it beneath a layer of hostility toward Harpuia* Feh. *knows one thing, that it was the sword that upset Waspinator, so...* *walks over to the sword and picks it up, grimacing with distaste - he never was much of a fan of close range weapons* *warps away for a moment, then warps back, sword no longer in his possession* *folds his arms, not looking sorry in the slightest that he just took something Harpuia might have wanted back* *figures if Waspy really wants it, he can ask Forte for it*

If you're done offending people with your presence, you can leave now, Harpuia. *glares*

((Poor Harpuia. Not going to find my sympathy or forgiveness here. ^_^*))

From:

((Edit: ANY sympathy. Harpuia certainly has MY sympathy. ^_^*))

From:

*narrows optics for a moment, wondering whether picking up the sword would have any unintended implications for Forte (and Harpuia), then figures that it wouldn't, since the gift was intended for Waspinator*

From:

FUCK! *his systems hurt too much to continue staying here and arguing that he's made a mess of things, and so he takes off with a small promise to return and fix things once he's better*
