[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.]

[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!]

[peacewithouttyranny]

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...

[good_ideas]

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.]

[peacewithouttyranny]

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.]

[good_ideas]

It was only the one time!

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

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

[peacewithouttyranny]

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.]

[good_ideas]

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

[But she is embarrassed and blushing.]

[peacewithouttyranny]

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.]

[good_ideas]

[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.
