J-just a question.

Was Blackout hitting on Bumblebee during the chess game? Because. My soul died justalittle...

[dragon_scholar]

...That's a good question. >.> *Totally evading answering*

[the_rocks_sir]

Wow, maybe I really should have muscled past my gag reflex and watched more of the movie...

[death_chopper]

It is a fairly awesome movie.

...Unless your reflex was triggered by the robots themselves. Or gratuitously hot women. In which case you're kinda, uh, screwed.

BTW, I don't know how I managed to forget to post this earlier when I first saw this entry, but Gillette was quite taken with Phil, and is sad that they haven't spoken since their first meeting.

[dragon_scholar]

Clearly, we need to engineer further interaction, because she's a little sad about that lack too.

[the_rocks_sir]

you need to read his latest journal post. It's almost pitiable how full of longing he is for her...she really hit him hard

[dragon_scholar]

Holy smokes, she did! C< *Sets about formulating a suitable answer, posthaste~!*

Lol, 'sup.

I think all I gotta say about your characterization of Blackout is it'd just be reaaaallly awesome and shit if you kind of brought him back to the way you were playing him before, with him being torn between his loyalty to Eros and to Megatron? It'd probably be, like, easier if we had a Megs and all, but you know.

Honestly, I just wanna see him be a robot again/more often. I didn't mean my secret to be MEAN or anything, but I miss the rotors. :| I think his human form has pulled him away from his 'real' self. I really liked how you played it off in the beginning, that was super impressive but I think you've gotten too comfortable in the last couple of months? idk.

Thaaaaaat's it. Take it or leave it.

[death_chopper]

Honestly? This is a very valid concern, and something I've been thinking--and talking--about since a couple of people mentioned it to me on HMD

[anonymous]

Oh man, so glad you took this well. I was expecting major bitchery (sorry, just the way you replied in RPS), but wow! OK, so.

Yeah, there's nothing really for him to do as a robot, so that's understandable, especially without canon mates. I gotta agree, I think you did move through it a little too quickly, and yeah. I mean, yeah, it got boring but at least it was, uhhhh... consistent, I guess? Things are consistent now, too, but they're... still kind of boring and uninteresting to read. I did like the Animal Virus that you did but I'm ... lost on the significance of the collar? Did I miss something somewhere?? I remember Guy going to Eros when he first joined, but... explain?

That's my problem, he's gotten too comfortable and I think you have too. I really don't have any suggestions which makes this whole thing like kind of pointless, but... I kind of assumed that you either were ignoring this problem with him or just didn't give a shit about it and hadn't given it any thought. It's good to know that it worried you, too. :)

[death_chopper]

Ahah. Yeah, I was a little...short, in RP!S, I'll admit, but there are so many people who post secrets there for the express purpose of stirring up trouble that I have a policy of not listening to them. |D;;

Ooohhhh maaaaan, the Gisborne stuff. Okay, Norry and I have played out a lot of interactions between Blackout and Gisborne, but it's been...largely in IM, because it's gotten pretty nasty a couple of times. A lot of angry!sex, a lot of abuse and humiliation, on both sides, just a lot of hate festering between them. The collar comes from that--Blackout claimed Gisborne as a pet in one of the logs we've done and locked him into a collar, and that was the collar he destroyed in the AV RL.

Of course, the main thing here is that was all in IM, which means only, uh, Norry and I know about it, even though we count it part of game canon. Gisborne and Blackout don't really get along in the game itself, and it kind of belies how much they absolutely loathe each other.

Yeah, it's definitely an issue on my mind--I'm not ignoring it
