[Arcee is sitting on her bed when the feed begins, both of her tapirs calmly lying next to her. Yes, even Sprocket. Solus, the smaller one, appears to be sleeping in her lap and Arcee scratches behind her larger-than-normal ears every now and then. The lighting is low, like she couldn't be bothered to open the blinds or something. It gives her eyes just the faintest bit of a blue glow.]

So...what? I just get here and it already looks like these Digimon are trying to tear us apart. Because that's always worked in the past.

[There could be a bit of bitterness there.]

I don't know about you, but I don't feel like moving. Again. So if anyone from my team feels like going off to islands or whatever it is everyone's doing, I will hunt you down and drag your afts back here. I won't like it, but I'll do it.

There's your warning.

[Sprocket's ears perk up once he believes Arcee's finished being Arcee and directs the feed towards himself. Compared to his partner's grump, he appears to be much happier.]

Okay okay okay, but I~I drew a picture.

[He pulls out a piece of paper and holds it close to the camera. It's hard to make out right away thanks to the lighting, but that's definitely a stick figure drawn in crayons that reads "Wow I'm dumb".

Sprocket soon whispers.]

It's Wheeljack.

[Arcee tries very hard not to laugh in the background because she just gave a super serious announcement and scramble to turn the feed off before she loses it.]

[Boy is he lucky he wasn't caught exploring doing things he shouldn't be. He's at that rare moment where he's actually staying still, lying on his couch with both his digis in his lap

So...pretty much like Arcee! Autobots are like cats, sometimes.]

's how things usually go for us, isn't it.

[But at that drawing, his eyes widen, ready to get up. Sprocket you are so dea-

Oh wait, the Digimon seem to have woken up at that, peeking in close to the D-Terminal to get a better view. Followed by cute, giddy laughter. Wheeljack may not appreciate your artwork, Sprocket, but his little charges do.]

Wow, it looks JUST like him!

There is a certain likeness. Sometimes.

[robotfightclub]

[By time Wheeljack replies, Sprocket's piece of art is already put away. Still, he has no problem answering the comm to talk about his amazing talent.]

It was super difficult, but I think I caught his unique ape-like charm in every stroke of my crayon.

That would explain why so many of them are broken now...

[Looks like someone woke up.]

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

I'll 'ape-like' you in a sec-

[Shh Wheeljack, the adults are talking.]

A masterpiece, my honey bunch!

[Him's attention, however, turns to Arcee.]

It might be wise to get a lay of the land, if it's alright to say.

[strengthinkindness]

[Luckily Sprout has no qualms about laughing at the picture.

In between snickers, though, she's trying to speak.]

S-So, you're... [Snicker.] not gonna... [Giggle.] go anywhere either?

[Ahahahaha...]

We'll be sticking around here too.

[robotfightclub]

Doesn't look like it!

[And he's glad someone appreciates the fine arts.]

I don't get why anyone would want to go anywhere when we kind of need to work together. Can't exactly do that if we're scattered.

[strengthinkindness]

[Still laughing...almost done...okay breathe.]

I guess people are looking for different things, and those bigger Digimon are offering them want they want...Plus this place isn't exactly big. There's not much to do...

[It's not shown in the text, but Vanguard and Bee share a laugh at the doodle. Wheeljack, you're looking fetching. He comments on the beautiful masterpiece first:]

Wheeljack's lost a lot of weight.

Moving to the islands wasn't in the plans yet. But do I have to worry about being hunted if I disappear for a few days to scout the area?

[text]

[robotfightclub]

YES ):<

[Sprocket's actually the one who sent the text, but he wants to see if Bee will believe it's Arcee.]

[text]

[proveyourmetal]

[Luckily, he knows about emoticons, and about the digimon's fairly mischievous nature. He may be laughing again as he replies to 'Arcee'.]

Don't be angry, Arcee.

How about I make it up to you?

[fuckinstoplights]

...

He isn't stupid.

[Yeah all the warnings about splitting up didn't really register so much as the drawing did.]

[Besides... he's not part of them, is he?]

audio;

[robotfightclub]

[Everyone's a part of them, even if they don't know them.]

You obviously never talked to him before.

audio

[oneeyedterror]

I dunno, this place might be better if you went off to an island alone, Girlie.

[robotfightclub]

And give up having to listen to you? Wouldn't dream of it.

[Video]

[treacherous_widow]

[Blackarachnia can't help it, she's actually laughing at the stupid drawing. It's distracting her enough that her own Moronic Taprimon steals the device.]

What artistic talent! Your masterful strokes have caught the very essence of Sir Wheeljack!

[The sad part? He might be serious. An art connoisseur he definitely is not.]

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

[What's that? Ego feeding?]

Sir Wheeljack? You are giving him way too much credit.

[one_shallstand]

If you need someone to stand with you, Arcee, you should know that Hot Shot, Skydive, and myself do not plan to leave either.

[robotfightclub]

[Oh...Optimus... She's touched.]

...So I take it now would be a bad time to invite you on a scouting mission.

[Yes, um, things...happened.]

[bigsoftie]

[But Arcee, Leatherhead had plans already. And the new housing sucks because he doesn't have roomies he recognizes or anything. At least he made his home in the tub again, Roadblaster and Duke nudging each other.]

Did you elbow me?

Nope must be someone else.

[Oh god try to ignore them, Arcee.]

You mean I cannot go to any of the islands?

[robotfightclub]

[WELL SUCK IT UP, GIANT BABY.]

I'd prefer if you didn't.

[And yes, she's trying very hard to ignore them.]

[text]

[perrytheperson]

Couldn't agree more. I plan on sticking around for awhile.

Nice drawing by the way, Sprocket.

[robotfightclub]

Thank you, magical words!

Wish I could say the same, but the moment I preach about staying put, I get dragged into a scouting mission.

It's not that bad, at least we're coming back.

[guilmon]

Aww. Guilmon doesn't think that Wheeljack's dumb! He seems super cool and tough.

[Which... isn't the same thing as being smart, but it's gotta count for something, right? Plus, he has stylish taste in sweaters.

Now, onto the more serious matters.]

I don't know how I feel about leaving either, but Sakuyamon's nice, and I'm sure she just wants to protect us from meanies like Jupitermon...

[robotfightclub]

Wow, those are like the last things he is. You need to get your head fixed.

[Arcee is quick to take everything anyway from him.]

Sakuyamon isn't exactly innocent. If I recall, her and her cronies were gonna frag things up if we didn't win a race.

[lionhearted_destiny]

[Juri's outside; in the background, Leomon is training.] I'm too used to getting split up to do it on purpose, you've got the right idea, Arcee.

[robotfightclub]

[That's exactly what she likes to hear.]

That goes without saying.
