8th Shot Fired [video]

[Look, it's everyone's favourite one eyed 12 year old girl who is actually a 4 million year old robot dude!

... and it looks like as he's talking to you all? Jetstream is braiding his hair, and it doesn't look like Whirl is stopping the digimon.]

Look, I kinda get that humans don't live too long and all that scrap. But you guys make up a lot of frikking reasons to have parties. And some of them are really silly, [Jetstream sort of tugs on his hair, which gets an ow.] no offense to like. Roze and her year party.

[Cause he likes Roze, but everyone else?]

Like "birthdays". Just have a frikking party because you want to, really.

[Another hair yank followed by another ow, and a huff.]

Or just think of something frikking better to celebrate.

[And then he adds, as almost like an after thought.]

Oh yeah and that annoying slagheap Misfire doesn't seem to be here anymore. Frikking pity, really.

For once I agree with you.

[Arcee, what the hell, where have you even been?]

[Video]

[oneeyedterror]

[Well... that's unexpected.]

With which part, Girlie?

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

[Really? We're doing Girlie again?]

You are really good at making me change my mind when it comes to talking to you.

[Video]

[oneeyedterror]

[>Implying Whirl even tries to remember that Arcee is called Arcee.]

You're avoiding the quest-- Ack. [Artfully timed tug of the hair from Jetstream, huzzah!]

[justpretending]

[Okay, she's trying, she's. She's really trying, she. Sophia just.

No. She can't understand it. She blinks and stares and.]

Why do you sound like an old guy?

[oneeyedterror]

[Oh boy. a little human.

Dammit.]

Cause that's how my voice sounds.

[justpretending]

But how come? You don't look too older than me.

[oneeyedterror]

Cause, I'm not normally human, little gu--.

... Girl, thing.

[SMALL CHILD WHY. Enjoy hearing Jetstream giggle in the background at Whirl actually watching what he's saying.]

[headup_stickontheice]

[Cam has never understood the deep-voiced little girl who swears a lot that he sees sometimes. But, uh. He might as well try?]

I mean, I'm not really too wild about parties all the time, but it's like... Celebrating a person. For birthdays. You're...honoring their life, it's not like a general party where you just...

...party.

[Articulate as shit.]

[oneeyedterror]

[Hey now, Whirl's voice isn't as deep as say... Optimus'.]

Still doesn't make much sense to me, especially the year thing. A year is frikking short.

A party to party makes more sense.

[headup_stickontheice]

It's not that short to some people. And that's more like, hey, I survived another year, here's to the best of next one! [......He winces. Bad wording.]

Look, if I knew I wasn't gonna be pestered into going and my girlfriend wasn't playing, I wouldn't be headed to it. Already said, parties aren't my thing.

[fuckinstoplights]

Birthdays?

Do human beings really have that many parties?

video;

[oneeyedterror]

Yeah, whatever that is.

... You have been paying attention to the scrap going on around here right?

video;

[fuckinstoplights]

...

No.

[Compared to Whirl, being a goddess in her 80s seems to pale in comparison. Saori can only shrug but understands where he's coming from.]

It can't be helped. Human life is short but it's full of hardships. Whether it was to celebrate the success after a harvest or just to have fun, parties are just a part of life to spice things up. Though I do admit sometimes they can get excessive if they're back to back.

[video]

[oneeyedterror]

Still doesn't mean it's that frikking important.

[War kinda jades a fellow against the whole "life is short" for other species, that and Whirl is a giant asshole.]

[fullofthorns]

Hey. Don't knock parties, man. [ There's your favorite pink-haired shit-stirrer! ]

You're just pissed because they aren't all about you and ain't all about booze. Quit bitchin'. 'Specially 'bout birthdays! [ She grumbles, baring her teeth. ]

Not everyone lives millions of years, dude. Some people are just celebrating that they survived another year, y'know? Humans particularly ain't got a lot of years to look forward to, so they just try to fill those years with good things. Well, some do, anyways.

[ She shrugs, chewing the end of her pencil and arching a brow slowly. ]

So what then, huh, changin' your mind? Ain't gonna show up for New Years? Tsk tsk tsk. I'm disappointed, Whirlybird. Though we had a lot in common. I thought we were bros.

[oneeyedterror]

[YOU AND THE TINIER HUMANS, Roze. Swear to god. Whirl just huffs at the end of Roze's... speech? Rant? Whatever, and rolls his eye.]

I'm showing up to your year thing, I already told you that I was.

But I can still think a lot of the reasons are frikking dumb, Pinky.

[fullofthorns]

Alright. Go ahead. Throw me a reason and I'll validate it. I betcha anything, shit-for-spark.

[Audio]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

They...actually do that?


[That seems kind of intense. That's like a party for every time they blink.]

[Audio]

[oneeyedterror]

You did get the invite to the year party, right?

[Whirl got one, man. WHIRL GOT ONE.]

Yeah, apparently. It's fragging dumb.

[Audio]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Probably.

[You usually handles his mail, okay.]

Guess we're a little behind in the times, yeah?

Video

[bigsoftie]

...what is the point of birthdays.

[He wouldn't normally ask Whirl, but really.

What the hell are you on.]

Video

[oneeyedterror]

[HE IS SOBER TODAY. So nothing.]

Don't know, apparently to celebrate living another year. Which is silly, cause a year is so damned short.

Video

[bigsoftie]

Life is too short, yes.

...or is it like a mutation day?

[Musing more to himself than Whirl.]
