well aren't you a possessive little freak;

WHO: Shockwave & Soundwave, what's new.
WHERE: Soundwave's place.
WHEN: AFTER SHOCKWAVE GETS IN TROUBLE. AS USUAL.
WARNINGS: It's the 'Waves. IDEK. STUFF.
SUMMARY: Shockwave gets in trouble for reasons he doesn't even know. He goes over to Soundwave's. He also brings him a pet frog. And then asks to move in. BECAUSE THAT IS TOTALLY RELEVANT TO THE

[Several feet away, he can tell when Shockwave makes his approach. Already, Soundwave rises, giving his panther a gentle pat on the head before he approaches the door, opening it.]

...

[That is a frog in Shockwave's hand. Slowly, Soundwave raises a brow.]

...

[Huh.]

[notsoloyal]

[He makes his way inside and then holds up the frog.]

Do you want it?

[Just. Forget the previous conversation.]

[allshock_notalk]

...

[That's a strange. Way to open a new conversation. Hold out a little organic creature and ask if he wants it. Still, Soundwave does have a quiet affinity for animals. He likes them, they usually like him back. And when they don't, he can generally make them like him with brainwashing. Simple.]

[A frog, though. That's new.]

...
VERY WELL.
I WAS NOT AWARE YOU HAD FROGS.

[Soundwave holds out his hands for it, although he truly cannot help but feel suspicious about this.]

[notsoloyal]

Not many.

[He shrugs, placing the frog in Soundwave's hands.]

Just a few in the lab. This one is defective, so I cannot use it. I decided I would check if you wanted it before disposing it.

[allshock_notalk]

[Defective? ... It looks all right to him. And when he listens, the heartbeat is not irregular. What would be defective about this frog?]

[Finally, he shuts the door and nods.]

VERY WELL THEN.
I WILL KEEP IT FOR FURTHER STUDY.

[He'll need a tank, although he believes he has one extra for when Grimlock is here. Hm.]

QUERY. WILL YOU BE STAYING THE NIGHT?

[notsoloyal]

[Was it actually defective? Yes and no. It could not be used for what Shockwave wanted, but aside from that, there was nothing wrong with it.]

No need. I do not want it back. Either keep it or get rid of it.

... When do I ever not?

[allshock_notalk]

I REQUIRED VERIFICATION.

[Then, Soundwave leaves the room to go find the tank for the frog. Hm, what to call it...]

[notsoloyal]

Hn.

[Once Soundwave leaves he makes his way over to the couch, getting comfortable. There will likely be more talking, he assumes, once Soundwave comes back with... whatever he went off to do.]

[allshock_notalk]

[Returned! And Soundwave has the frog in the tank. It's settled up onto a counter. He pauses, considering; he'll have to add some things into the tank for it. Hmm, a name.]

...

[But more pressing matters.]

TOPIC OF DISCUSSION?

[notsoloyal]

[Idly he glances up from the couch.]

Why are you so paranoid? ...Oh. And is your offer to move in still valid?

[allshock_notalk]

PARANOID.
HN.
NOT PARANOID--

[Pauses. One question to the other. Right to business then.]

... AFFIRMATIVE.

[He's... annoyed, but he's not angry enough to tell Shockwave no.]

[notsoloyal]

Jealous then. I mention I cook and all of a sudden you are upset with me.

And in that case, I will be moving in.

[allshock_notalk]

IT WAS SLIPSTREAM'S MENTION OF DINNER.

[However, he doesn't deny being jealous. He doesn't... enjoy the idea of sharing Shockwave.]

...
NOTED.
QUERY: WOULD YOU LIKE ASSISTANCE?

[notsoloyal]

And since when did dinner mean anything? We live in the same apartment.

[He really could not understand that train of thought.]

Your assistance with moving my things later would be appreciated.

[allshock_notalk]

HER INTEREST IN YOU CONCERNS ME.

[Anyone's interest in Shockwave would concern him. If he can't have all of his Cassetticons, then he'll have Shockwave to himself. It's easy enough logic to follow.]

THEN I WILL ASSIST WHEN YOU ARE PREPARED.

[notsoloyal]

...What interest?

[Is he missing things? Again.]

Tomorrow then.
