[The feed opens up to a dragon with its eggs all snuggled up against a deactivated Soundwave, huffing and looking mighty smug with where it's nested. Apparently, the dragon decides the Cybertronian is the perfect place to make a nest, whaddya know. And one little avatar is... displeased with the choice.

The shot lingers for a minute before it turns around to reveal Soundwave's avatar, looking rather exasperated. Also with a red mark on her cheek and some lovely scratches to boot.]

I can't get the dragon to leave. I tried to offer it meat earlier but... it did not work out well. [A huff can be heard offscreen, and the avatar shoots the dragon a look.] It doesn't seem keen on sharing either. So unless someone could convince the dragon there to leave- and I do want it to -I'll need temporary lodging.

Help would be greatly appreciated. Evicted by a dragon. How ridiculous.

[Anyone who's already aware of the connection between the mech and the young girl, they'll know why this is a problem. He can't just transfer back his consciousness into his real form while the dragon's there, and he imagines it'll cause a whole lot of other problems if he did that.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You too, huh? I like having things in common with my friends, but this is some bullshit.

[Lucy has also been evicted by dragons. So rather than reply to give help, Lucy is responding in hopes of bumming off whatever help Soundwave gets.]

Anne's Room uses too much chroma, so I'm in the same sinking ship as you. This place got hotels or something? We could go Dutch on one.

Anne's Room?

[That's the first she's ever heard of that. Though Soundwave is facing her own Chroma problem. The avatar actively consumes Chroma... Something she'll have to bring up later.]

I think there are hotels in the town square? I'm not familiar with the expression... "go Dutch", but we could go find one together. ... I just hope the dragons didn't occupy all the rooms.

My ability. She has a room that I can hide it.

[Lucy explains nonchalantly. She's actually hesitant to bring people in for no reason, so it's a sure sign of trust that she even considered it for Soundwave.]

Means splitting the bill. Pay our way. And there's no way they could get all of the hotel rooms, right? That'd suck for business.

[Huh. Soundwave would like to ask more about her ability, how much Chroma would it cost, how feasible would it be to hide until all this blows over. But one thing at a time.]

I've seen an entire building was closed off because a dragon blocked off the entrance. [She shrugs] But you're probably right. I would think there should at least be one somewhere that's not infested by dragons.

Worst case, we'd have to temporarily stay in a cheap love hotel.

[The fact that Soundwave could say that with a straight face and dull tone is just a testament to how used she is to this world's nature.]

[UGH, DRAGONS.]

I don't think I can really get rid of it but if you want to come over and stay with us, you can.

[Though if Soundwave doesn't mind that there may be a dragon-shaped hole in the wall, perhaps Shiho could ask Kaoru to help?]

[Soundwave won't mind the dragon-shaped hole much. Probably.]

Thank you, Shiho. That's kind of you. [...] Ah, and if it wouldn't be a bother, I wish to bring a friend along with me. She was... kicked out of her place by dragons, too.

[Kind??? KIND?!]

I think it's probably fine. Kaoru-chan loves sleepovers anyways.

[That and cute girls in pajamas.]

[Did he stutter? You are kind you gremlin.]

Mm. And she likes cute girls, too...

[It's an all girls sleepover party... Except one is a vaguely-agender robo but it's fine.]

[She refuses to accept that. She's cool, cruel and cute! But not kind!]

...That she does. [Shiho can't help smiling when she says that. Because, of course, her best friend is wonderful. Even if she's a pervert.

An all girls sleepover sounds like fun though, Shiho can't remember the last time she had a sleepover and that should change!]

She surely made that known through her actions with me the day we met.

[As in being super affectionate and calling Soundwave cute one too many times. Also Koaru straight up said she likes her. Such a strange but endearing person.]

Kaoru seems to think you're wonderful. And judging by your smile, I assume you think the same of your friend as well, hm...

That's Kaoru for you.

[Shiho knows she's smiling but also getting that pointed out is still embarrassing.]

Besides, we've known each other since we were five years old, you know?

[And not only that but Kaoru was Shiho's best friend, her first friend.]

Yes, Kaoru did mention that. She thought you were cool when you, ah, judo throw her. [Which is weird, Soundwave thought, but Kaoru's pretty weird.] In fact, she doesn't seem to have any shortage of compliments for you, Shiho. If I recall... She also said, and I quote, 'one of the kindest people I know'.

[So yes, Shiho is kind.]

It was only the one time!

[And she had been a terrible, terrible child.]

And she'll say anyone is kind, you know?

Is that so? And it isn't because you disliked it?... Though I did say you are kind earlier.

[And Soundwave's not the type to put that label on anyone he met.]

I-.... I'm not kind.

[But she is embarrassed and blushing.]

Hmm.... If that's what you say, Shiho.

[It's tempting to tease her about it, but Soundwave won't embarrass her too much in a public network. Although Soundwave will continue to believe she is a kind girl, regardless of her denial.]

[Shiho wants to make a face at her. That'll show her just how kind she is!!

Except it would have been a pout and everyone knows just how scary a pout is.]

That is exactly what I'm saying! Anyway. Come over whenever, I'm going to go clear off some space for you.

...why?

I asked myself that, too....

[He has no answers.]

I wanna speak to the manager of dragons.

You comin' with me?

There's such a thing? [He knows caretaker, being one himself, but manager...]... And, sure.

[It's not like he could do anything with the problem right now, anyway.]
