24,928 Hrm. Woefully behind. Rl has intervened the last several days, as it does. Still, I'm reasonably happy with what I've managed to write: rather than forging ahead with gleeful drivel in true NaNo style, I've been waiting until brain sorts out what I actually want to write, which can take awhile, hence the slowness. Also, you know that thing, where people can write bad guys gone good where their inner motivational workings are so completely believably awesomely motivated and yet still retain all their angles and rough edges? I do not think I can do that thing. I keep trying to, and it just all devolves into implausible yet satisfying snuggles, lol. But I have at last completely and utterly broken Barricade's brain, so it's all good :P
“I estimate Starshine and Ducky will be emerging by tonight,” First Aid said, “and the rest over the next three days. Once they’re all fully awake…”
“Yeah,” Blades said. “Fourteen of them. We are so going to need backup. Who can we get out here on short notice with the right amount of security clearance, discretion, and energy? Maybe Bumblebee, if Sam can spare him-“
“That yellow cretin!” Barricade snarled. “He’s not coming anywhere near the hatchlings.”
First Aid looked startled. “But…we didn’t get to see him very often, but he was one of our favorite caretakers. He’s really very good with breakable lifeforms.”
“He never once dropped us, not even when he used to play toss the hatchling with Jazz,” Blades added.
Toss the hatchling! What kind of barbarians were these Autobots?
“They didn’t toss us very far,” First Aid said reassuringly, noting Barricade’s appalled expression. “It was great fun.”
“Over. My. Deactivated. Chassis.”
Also, in honor of recent Thanksgiving holiday: Mathed Potatoes! XD I recommend to check out the rest of Vihart's delightful creative YouTube maths, if you like that sort of thing ^^ Green Bean Matharole! Doodle Music! Infinity Elephants! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
