[The feed opens to Blackarachnia, who looks...a little different.

She's a little taller than she was previously, and her colors are...brighter, somehow. She's sleeker looking, and a whole lot more shapely.

She's also livid.]

Who has touched me? [She knows someone did - she did not look like this a few days ago, and those select few days are

Comments

[not_your_gun]

Well.

That's a new look.

[technoorganic]

How observant of you, Magnum.

[not_your_gun]

Hm.

Forgive me. I can tell that it upsets you...

But it...does...blend in very well.

[technoorganic]

['Upset' is putting it mildly.]

Yes, I look like one of them.

[Being a highly resourceful creature, she sees the advantage of this. HOWEVER.

She is Not Pleased.]

[not_your_gun]

...this...might...seem like a strange question, but do you know what day it is?

[This is, really, going to be cataloged somewhere--and if it turns out to be what he thinks it is, he is so increasing the guard on his Hollow.]

[technoorganic]

The last day I have record of...[She rattles off a day - three or four days ago. She knows that isn't right, because her computer dates are different.]

[not_your_gun]

Well well.

So these mysterious kidnappings aren't rumors after all.

[He pauses.]

I'm sorry.

[technoorganic]

This is inconvenient. Everything I have researched needs to be redone.

[RAGE.]

[Locked]

Well. [A beat.] It seems we're in...similar positions.

[not_your_gun]

That...almost seems like it might be the intent.

[He does feel badly for her, actually...even if he finds this useful. He'd hate for it to have been done to him.

...mostly.]

[Locked]

We do both have new bodies we need to get used to?

[technoorganic]

There's nothing I detest more than redoing research unecessarily. [And her organic half, but that goes without saying. This is WORSE, now.

[Locked]

Yes, exactly.

[not_your_gun]

I don't believe it will prove completely unnecessary...

You have a foundation, still, at least.

[Locked]

Well, there are many ways to work out ones frustrations--shall I come up there, so we can....test...some of your new features?

[technoorganic]

Perhaps not - maybe I'll find something nice and useful for you, darling.

[locked]

Oh, I think that's a wonderful idea - I've got a few new...traits you might like to see.

[not_your_gun]

You could stand to learn quite a bit this way, in fact...

[Locked]

You have me very interested. I'll be there shortly.

[...there's a brief pang of guilt in regards to Mikaela--but that's easily over-written. Abstinence was not one of his policies.]

[technoorganic]

I think you're quite right. I'm sure I'll find this very entertaining, at the least. [Except she's even MORE organic than she was before. Ugh. UGH.]

[locked]

I do like to know that I'm able to hold your interest, sweetie~ I'll see you soon.

[It's okay - she gets those little pangs about Optimus, too.]
