[It's that time again! Wheeljack's here to clear up any and all confusion you people might have about this place. And maybe some tips for those who might be slightly not-human. Don't worry, though! His advice is accurate.

For the most part.

The feed opens up to show him on the couch of his apartment, pretty much just lounging out.]

So, we got an influx of newbies during that blackout, huh. Guess that means it'll be question time again unless someone clears up a few things. And you know me, I like to please people.

[Or annoy the crap out of them. Either way.]

Place is called the Digital World. And no, ya can't leave. Seriously, don't even try.

[There's a little pink ball of fluff curled on his stomach, poking a head up.]

Wow, you're getting right down to it, aren't you.

[With a little smirk, he pushes her head back down, back to sleep or whatever she was doing. Those eyes, however, go back to the ceiling in thought.]

Oh yeah, you're not human here. Yeah, I know. It's fraggin' impossible to do anything. But as long as ya follow the three rules, you'll make it. One. Clothes are your armor. It's pretty bad at bein' armor, but it's all ya got, so get used to it. Two, ya gotta refuel all day every day. Don't worry, their food's pretty good, and they got alcohol--pretty much defined as drink of choice. And three, breathin'. Probably should have covered breathin' first...but you've got to do it. It comes pretty naturally though, so I wouldn't worry unless you're turnin' blue in the face and too stupid to take a cue. [Misfire.]

Oh, and stop livin' on phone booths. You know who you are.

[He takes this moment to look at the crest he attached to his dog tags, inspecting it.]

You're probably going to get maimed here. Hate to say it, but pretty low chance of it -not- happenin. Things attack the city, so until we got some kind of boy scout troops or build a wall, you're gonna have to defend yourself with your little annoyance that follows you around.

I heard that!

Good. [Back to the camera] But, treat your weapon [he gestures to the Gazimon on his stomach] well, get better weapon. Good advice.

[He takes another look at the crest before looking down at You again.]

By the way, we're movin' out.

[And just like that, her head perks up.]

We are??

[Thankfully it's not over things blowing up or causing havoc through the city. Then he'd offer more resistance.]

What can I say? Peck somethin' at our heads long enough and the idea eventually gets through.

And hey, less chatter over the D-Terminal. Can't see anyone complainin' on that.

[She breathes a heavy sigh and looks away again.]

I'm sorry, Wheeljack, I'm just not in the mood right now.

Yeah...like I said. I get it.

Just thought I'd check.

[He straightens himself up again, pulling his coat sleeves down.]

Heh, never did have good timing.

Don't beat yourself up too hard, no one ever has good timing.

[She stuffs another apple slice in her mouth.]

You'd have to catch me first.

[She gives him a once over and grins.]

A spider is never easy to catch when they don't want to be found.

[Dorumon glances from the other digimon back to her partner, rolls her eyes and refocuses on the digimon.]

I'm beginning to realize that.

By human terms huh? Four months is barely anything where I'm from.

Yeah?

[He walks in, sitting next to her and leaning back on his hands.]

I could stand to be better at it.

Heh, good enough reason for me to trust him then.

Yeah, patience can be good, too. Gonna have to get to know Leatherhead more. We met on the way to that one mission.

[His eyes narrow a moment. No...no that definitely wasn't Airachnid.

But the spider-jab seemed a little...too close to home. He even double checks the link.]

Yeah, not very long by those standards, but I'm not used to so much constant maintenance.

Feels like forever.

Not exactly a trait I'm known for, yeah?

[There's a chuckle.]

Ya might have to be more specific on missions. We're sent out more than Magnus would on a field day.

[It's not hard to notice the way he seemed to react to her her words and it makes Blackarachnia tense a little, her own eyes narrowing slightly. She's more wondering if she has to worry about this one as her right arm absently goes to her left where there's a sleeve of spider web themed tattoos with what might look like faction symbols in the chaotic mess.]

Then you've never been in a war where getting blown up and being offlined by unstable energon used to be an issue.

[Dorumon notices her tensing but doesn't say a thing.]

Heh, you? Patient? Naaaah.

[His tone is playful of course, it feels good to banter, even a little. He give his own chuckle.]

If only Magnus knew half the scrap we done here. [He's expecting it to change, but he's gotten used to volunteering for missions when they come up. Even if he sometimes winds up with people he doesn't know.]

Talking about the time you me, Arcee, Leatherhead and others stormed that castle as a team. [That was fun.] Me and him met on the long walk there, through that desert.

No.

[In chimes the hell muppet:]

The... hallway.

[Well, you tried, Wheeljack. Leatherhead can appreciate that. He's partially going through it by himself with Wheeljack at his side..]

You do not know?

[He pauses.]

Is it like how my feelings? I like him as a friend...he makes me feel safe. But...it feels like I want something more...

[He covers his face, getting a little distressed by the situation.]

I don't know.

[She doesn't match the other spider-y themed one here, so he'll keep his trap shut. For now. But if anything funny goes down...]

Oh I have. I call it an occupational hazard rather than an issue.

...

[Boy he's going to throw you in a trash can.]

Okay gettin' halfway there is still not gettin' there.

Best to leave that up to his imagination--or lack thereof.

[He just got on good terms with Magnus. No need to have him fussing over protocol of events that already happened.

And yes, Magnus would do that.]

Ahhh good times. He's a good kid.

The roommate thing is still a problem...

I'm sorry. I tried.

It's an issue when you can't get off planet to get away from it.

[She contemplates something for a moment before making a decision. Don't worry, she has no intention of causing trouble just yet.]

Call me Blackarachnia.

[If there's one thing Wheeljack can do, it's try.]

Can't say I do, bud.

[His head tucks down, as if trying to hide a look of uncertainty. He hated feeling that more than anything. Especially in front of Leatherhead.]

...Yeah, you could say that. I uh...I'm pretty new to this.

N...No way. Really? Is this what I think it is???

You, shut up.

[Enjoy the view of bedsheets and a ceiling, cause there is a muffled Whirl response.]

The stupid thing is a weapon, really?

[Muffled and sounding like crap too.]

As am I...

Oh jeeze....I KNEW there was something weird going on.

[Leatherhead looks like the epitome of confusion. Why are his feelings doing this, dad.]

Uh...Okay.

Tell me exactly what you're feelin'.

Frag, I sound like Prime or somethin'.

Pretty much. I know, it doesn't really look it.

But fair warnin', they're your ONLY weapon. Ya can't do scrap to the things that attack you in this world. No matter how many knives ya bring.

I feel...warm...but it is not a body warm.

It is like...

[THIS IS HARD.]

...warmness that comes from being sick. But it a good sick...that isn't really there.

Yeah, like that. A whole thing, that they could pick up when leaving, ya know?

Since you've got a lot of experience, if you want, we could put one together?

[Really she's been looking for someone since Kaito disappeared.]
