obligatory hot springs episode

[cavedwellers]

[what the hell, the brochures said nothing about a hot spring! but WHO CARES it'll be fun and there's pretty much enough light to see by in this part of the caves. Also there is still no lifeguard on duty, but there are little bat-eared monkey things hopping around the rocks so probably there's nothing too predatory in the water. And it's all steaming and warm -- if you're a lifeform that enjoys warm water, anyway, you're in for a treat! Almost certainly nothing could go wrong here. Just keep an eye on your valuables; those little buggers have clever paws.]

You're... a few bolts short of a repair kit, you know that?

[cupping some water in his hands and tossing it at Wing]

[wingedjustice]

I'm short of a repair kit? Speak for yourself.

[stepping away neatly]

[onlyhonournow]

[grinning and making a grab for Wing's legs from where he's perched]

Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm still seeing things.

[wingedjustice]

[haha no I'm more ninja than you]

I suppose that's my fault too.

[onlyhonournow]

[ffft just flops and rolls onto his back, staring up at him and holding his arms out lazily]

Yeah. It's all on you.

[wingedjustice]

[sitting next to him]

Poor me.

[onlyhonournow]

[dropping his arms and letting one of them fall over Wing's lap]

They told you I was trouble. You should have listened.

[wingedjustice]

Maybe. But I enjoy trouble.

[onlyhonournow]

[going extremely quiet and reaching his hand up slowly to Wing's face, but stops just short]

[wingedjustice]

Go ahead.

[onlyhonournow]

[nope, dropping his hand and turning his head away]

I came here looking for something.

[wingedjustice]

What was it?

[onlyhonournow]

... Your great sword. I found you instead.

[wingedjustice]

I was wondering where that went.

[onlyhonournow]

[manages a chuckle.]

Well, I was keeping it warm for you since you weren't using it at the time.

[wingedjustice]

What happened to it?

[onlyhonournow]

... I'm not sure. I... We were on Cybertron, and... [. . . welp that sure is trailing off and being vague]

When I came to, it was gone, but there was a hologram etched into my processor--a map leading to this place.

[wingedjustice]

Interesting.

[onlyhonournow]

But so far, nothing. I can't sense it anywhere.

[wingedjustice]

That's not possible.

[onlyhonournow]

[rolling completely off of Wing and lying on his side with his back to him]

... I wasn't worthy. I have to earn it back.

[wingedjustice]

How?

[onlyhonournow]

I'm not so sure.

[wingedjustice]

Hmm.

[onlyhonournow]

But my spark was... corrupted. Is... still corrupted. Or else it wouldn't have...

[sitting up and placing a hand over his chest, tracing a circle lightly over where his spark chamber is]
