Warnings/Notes:This is an AU off of our 'Sound and Fury' verse, in which the Autobot/Decepticon civil war never happened, and Cybertronians have found *ahem* unique new uses for humans. The rape/noncon archive warning is for the overall themes of this story-verse, which is neck deep in consent issues. We'll continue to use this archive warning on every installment due to the nature of the story-verse. Please heed the warnings if this isn't your thing.
“Hey Steely! Oh wow, it really is you!” Sharp black talons closed over the rim of the datapad, obscuring the feed from several of the cameras. “Long time no see! Whatcha been up to? Is your carrier still talking his way into everywhere he shouldn’t be in Kalis?” Another narrow, wedge-shaped helm popped down into the visual field as the datapad tried to focus. “I noticed that Ravage had just booked a transport pod, but I never thought it’d be you! Wait until I tell Rainy--it’s gonna be great to have you here. We can all go out, swap some memories, find ourselves a party or three, just like the old days--”
“Stealing my calls halp,” squeaked Ratbat breathlessly from somewhere under Erasure’s coils.
“Buzzsaw--” Ravage growled. Buzzsaw tilted his helm, scarlet optics flickering in surprise at his cohort-mates’ obvious exasperation.
“Whaaat? Why are you looking at me like that? It’s just Steeljaw. We saw the booking notice go out, so I figured I’d come see who was visiting. And it wasn’t even my idea--Frenzy was just checking up on the suite’s data traffic, so it’s not my fault!” Cross-posted to
