[When Arcee starts the feed, there's an obnoxious giggling going on in the background. Of course it's Sprocket, was there even any doubt? Problem is he doesn't sound like he's going to stop anytime soon and every time he sounds like he might be slowing down, it only builds up and starts all over again. Thankfully it is only in the background and somewhat ignorable. If you aren't in the same room as him, anyway.

Arcee, who unfortunately is in said room, looks over her shoulder before addressing the feed just to give him one more annoyed look. Seriously, chill.]

Is anyone else having problems with their...everything? The sound is scrambled or something, I can't get anything to work.

[This is all said in, of course, Cybertronian and anyone who doesn't understand it will hear it for what it is: an alien language. Good luck with that.

All it does is cause Sprocket to laugh even louder, slamming his hand against the floor.]

HAHAHAHA SHE SOUNDS LIKE A DIAL-UP MODEM!! I CAN'T--

[Oh thank Primus, not that Whirl would thank the robot god, another Cybertronian having the same issue as him.]

You're not the only one having issues, girly. It's a serious pain in the aft too.

[It's Cybertronian, with a Polyhex accent too.]

Ugh and shut your fragging monster up, he's annoying.

Okay, wow, don't call me that.

[Yes, Arcee, because that's the issue at hand.]

OH NO THERE'S MORE!! HAHAAA! MY SIIIIDESHAHAHA!

Why not, girly?

[The issue of getting Whirl to actually not call her that is a good one, but it'll be a losing battle.]

You really shouldn't laugh, how would you like it if they found our language funny?

[Oh Cannon Fodder.]

[And just like that, Sprocket stops on the dime, sitting himself upright. That's right, he stopped laughing just so he could answer a question.]

I'd be relieved that my partner actually has a sense of humor.

[Again Arcee finds herself looking over her should to give him a look. THANKS PAL.

Wait a minute.]

Languages? Are you telling me the fragging human proces--brain stopped translating?

[UGH, HUMAN BODIES ARE SO USELESS.]

At least I don't have to buy new scrap...

[They'll just hear Cannon Fodder sigh, but hey Whirl looks happy that the annoying laughter has stopped.]

I think so? Frag if I know, back home it was pretty much "land on planet, know languages" and not much else to worry about.

[A shrug from Whirl, he's not that bothered by all this. He really should be, but he's not ha ha.]

Although it's nice to know I'm not the only 'bot having this issue here.

Yeah, thanks, I know how translating works.

[Not that Arcee realizes that his "home" is a tad different than hers or anything.]

So now what? We just wait for someone to fix it?

If it's like EVERY OTHER problem here, it'll go away eventually.

[Eye roll. Be grumpier a bit more why dontcha, Arcee?]

Looks like, and enjoy being yelled at by the stupid organics who get bothered when ever you open your mouth to say something.

[Whirl might be a tad annoyed by his apartment mates during this event.]

[Well, if you insist!]

Humans in general tend to think everything should revolve around them. Of course they're gonna get mad if they can't understand you, how dare you speak another language.

[There's an obvious bitter tone in her voice. As much as she loves humans, they sure can be entitled.]

As long as the Digimon can translate, we should be good to go. Until then, they can deal.

I charge 42 Bits per hour!

Wouldn't know, I never went to Earth so I never got to have the fun of being around a lot of the little fraggers until now.

[Miss Carlo is a special case, and really Whirl sort of knew of her more than knew her.]

You'd probably do better without yours, it sounds challenged.

You're not missing much.

[She'd make a point that they had to hide on Earth the majority of the time, but something tells her Whirl isn't going to care.]

And say what you want, but I actually like mine.

I make up for my obnoxiousness through gouging!

[He says with the biggest smile on his face, arms thrown into the air.]

From what I've heard yeah, I'm not.

[Arcee you're learning! Good girl.]

You can like something that's broken but that doesn't change the fact that it's broken.

[Eye roll at Sprocket's... antics.]

[All he can do is stick out his tongue? OH YEAH? WELL...YOUR CLOTHES ARE DUMB.]

Whatever. He gets the job done.

Not very well in this case.

[He's just going to ignore the digimon now, ha!]

They're just jealous, Arcee.

[Because who wouldn't be jealous of a partner who acts like that? NO ONE THAT'S WHO.]

...Right.

So are we done here? I get it, the translating is fragged. Moving on.

What's to be jealous of?

[Seriously dude, seriously. Whirl might have the most polite digimon in this place, but that just makes that better than Sprocket.]

Looks like.

Though you're certainly not what I was expectin' when I was told a 'bot named Arcee was here.

[You know, not being a crazy murderous dame.]

[She probably would have ended the feed by now if that last thing didn't catch her attention. Instead there's a pause as she tries to make sense of that.]

And what were you expecting, exactly?

[Well, Whirl makes a clicking sound with his tongue. ~~Man he's never going to not do that.~~ A thoughtful look on his face as he considers how to word this properly.]

A psychopathic murderer, actually. She makes me look sane too.

[Hey Arcee, the 'bot he knows who shares your name is not the most... Nice person around.]

[ He may not be able to understand her, but even he can understand his laughing is going to be the end of him. ]

She's going to pummel you.

[If he wasn't already laughing, that might have made him chuckle.]

Pft, Arcee would never hurt me. She needs me.

You wanna test that?

[Arcee may not understand Squall either, but hurting her Digimon is something she can get behind in any language.

Well, that and Sprocket is still understandable.]

I doubt that would stop her from hurting you. I feel like doing so and you're not even around me.

You saying you wanna take this on?!

Okay, enough.

[To subdue her suddenly enraged tapir, Arcee tosses him what looks like a snack from her pocket. He happily accepts it for now.]

Look, just because I don't know what anyone is saying, doesn't mean I wanna start a brawl. Just...translate.

She says it's so on.

Does she normally look so calm when she wants to fight?

[ he is giving Sprocket a look that says he doesn't believe him one bit. ]

Duh, of course! Haven't you ever heard of the calm before the storm?!

What are you telling him?!

Look, see? Now you're making her angry.

[Suddenly the realization that relying on Sprocket as a translator was a bad idea starts to sink in. The city can't fix itself fast enough.]

I don't think you're telling the truth, Sprocket...

[ Squall rolls his eyes at the Digimon and glances away. ]

Lies! I always speak the truth!

[If it wasn't before, it's pretty obvious now that Sprocket is just being a jerkface. He can't help it, this is the perfect setup for some good ol' messing around.]

If she doesn't pummel you first I'll make sure I do.

I'd like to see you try, sucka!

[Arcee's had enough at this point and throws her arms in the air, rolling her eyes and tossing the comm in the process. Sprocket catches it before it can hit the ground, of course, but it looks like Arcee's taking backseat.

Just...get it out of your system, boys.]

I had enough of you when you still lived here.

It looks like I'm not the only bot having this issue.

[Blackarahnia appears on screen after a few moments with her own digimon looking vaguely amused just behind her. Of course the former spider is speaking Cybertronian herself.]

Edited 2013-10-10 00:43 (UTC)

Off topic, but I'm somehow still surprised there are other bots here...

Well maybe if you talked to people more!

[He says between giggles.]

...I guess you missed the memo. Yeah, I'm a bot, that a problem?

[Venom just glances at her trainer and shakes her head a bit.]

I swear that defensiveness is a robot trait! What she means to say is 'Hello! I'm also a bot and I'm a good guy...er... spider, thing. You know I'm not really sure. But! I agree that Blackarachnia should talk to more people to!

[Blackarachnia just rolls her eyes and ignores the rambling Digimon.]

Yeah, you're not the only one, Arcee. This is annoying

[Yup, that's Bulkhead on the video. Boulder's behind him, looking amused and annoyed at the same time some how.

It is making it really hard for us to work. They ca not understand him, and he can not understand them.

So I've noticed.

[But yay for not being the only one.]

How about he takes on a code? Two beeps "yes", one beep "no". It's fool proof!

I hope this gets fixed soon.

[Yeah, not being the only one is making him feel better.]

We will have to try that, and see if it works. Any problems you two have had?

[Oh good. Wheeljack's human body isn't malfunctioning after all. One thing you don't want to happen--a body you barely know to get broken. He hears the Cybertronian, instantly recognizing it as the feed clicks on.]

The ONE time our translators gotta go out, it's when we can't fine-tune em.

[You, however, is on the couch, pulling her ears down in amazement, looking at Wheeljack. Eyes wide and everything.]

How are you doing that with your mouth...

Now that I think about it, humans never had translators to begin with. Kinda makes you wonder what's been doing it before.

It's the magic of the Digital World. Because unlike SOME worlds, we like it when everyone understands each other.

...I'd rather not think on that, 'Cee. Last time I took a glance into what makes human bodies tick--

[Yeah, Shepard's post still hasn't left his mind.]

Yeah, what's YOUR guys's problems?!

Sprocket! Laughing at her isn't very nice at all!

[He can't stop, the laughter is in his BLOOD.]

B-But the beeeeeeping!

Sprocket... [Stern face.]

[For once Impmon is in agreement.]

WOW you're right, what a dork!
