Sooooooo letmegetthisstraight: this is some kinda alternate universe that sucks people in, turns 'em human, throws weird organic creatures at them and tells them they need to save the world or whatever, and I'm "chosen" to be one of those poor saps?

[The Wormmon around his shoulders wiggles a bit and makes a surprised noise.]

I-in a sense... You were listening!

Ehhh, sorta, most of the rest of what you said kinda went in one audial and out the other -- EAR! In one ear and out the other. Human anatomy is really weird. Anyway! [Quickly, back to the comm with a broad, dumb grin and a sigh from Wormmon, who squeaks in surprise when Misfire gestures to her. He doesn't notice.] What's up, losers? The name's Misfire, and this lil' thing here is my partner, Crummy.

C-Crummy?!

So I'm not supposin' the names Krok, Crankcase, or Spinister are ringing any bells for anyone out there? No? 'Cos I know for sure Krok will throw a fit if he finds out I've disappeared, and I'd rather not end up facing whatever corporal wrath he'll come up with -- although last time, he just took me off syphoning duty, which sucked but wasn't unbearable, y'know? Oh! But that's nothing compared to that one time --

Um, Misfire?

[Crummy's attempts to interrupt Misfire go unnoticed, and he continues babbling on happily. Crummy looks at the communicator with an apologetic look, and manages to hit "mute" without Misfire noticing. Enjoy the whole three minutes of Misfire just... talking, only with no audio.]

Guess so.

...Well, not like you can do much damage here, anyway. And if you're anythin' like the Starscream that was here recently, don't really got much to worry about.

[Voice]

[heyloser]

Right. This place, ah, doesn't seem to lend itself well to war. Well, war of our kind, anyway -- Starscream was here?

[Voice]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Briefly.

Almost got him to eat a couch.




...A thing you sit on. Before you ask.

[Voice]

[heyloser]

Right.

...Like, the whole couch, or just at part of it or whatever? I mean, either way, that's actually pretty funny.

[Voice]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Believe me, I wanted it to work, but his roommates apparently cared about him more than any of us would.

Woulda been hilarious.

[Voice]

[heyloser]

Gives me the giggles just thinking about it.

[Misfire pauses, and then his eyes go wide. He looks over both of his shoulders, then whispers into the comm,]

Wait, you said he isn't here anymore, right?

[Voice]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Funny how I don't find it surprisin' that you guys take fun in Starscream's misery.

[Not a point against you in the least. He finds it funny too.]

Yeeep. That's the gist of it. Were ya expectin' a reunion?

[Voice]

[heyloser]

Iiiiii'd just rather not have the S-I-C hear me joking about him and decide I need some, uh... re-education, or something.

[And hey, it's kind of fun to poke fun at Starscream sometimes.]

[Voice]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

I wouldn't worry about that too much, bud.

I don't know ya, but this S-I-C in question ain't nothin' to really fear. Even outside of his body.

[Voice]

[heyloser]

I dunno, I've heard he can get pretty crazy where I'm from.

But ah well. He's not here, I probably don't have too much to worry about, after all.

[Voice]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

The one from my world tries to be a threat, doesn't always turn so well in his favor.

[To the point of where being his prisoner doesn't even phase him.]

This one was less of a threat.

[Voice]

[heyloser]

Hah. See, I like this place so far. This place is kinda fun, hearing about alternate universe shenanigans.
