I am having a serious crisis, and I need help. Hopefully a network full of heroes can provide some kind of relief to a desperate spark in need.

[ oh, sure, he's heard of things like... explosions, death, political debates, and benefits being cut (that's super annoying, actually), but really, there's just one Most Important matter at hand: ]

I think they've stopped making my favorite kind of hair gel. I can't find it anywhere, and trust me, I've checked every store. Shouldn't there be -- I don't know, warehouses full of it somewhere out there? Isn't that how these things work? It doesn't matter -- I need more of it, pronto! Do you have any idea how difficult it is to keep looking as good as I do without hair gel?!

There'll be some kind of reward in it for you if you can help me out, I'll figure that out later -- just give me a hand here, someone!

How tragic~

[paintjobs]

I hope that isn't sarcasm.

[debauchewy]

Believe me, the little things in life should never be looked over. No hair gel is a tragedy as far as I'm concerned. Guess you need to go through the trial and error process again.

[paintjobs]

Good. At least some fleshies here have a sense of propriety and decorum, then.

The good news is that I may not have to, if all goes accordingly to plan.

[debauchewy]

Fleshies- ah? What a weird thing to call me, care to explain it-- Right after you explain what you mean by plan. [Chuckles.]

[paintjobs]

Both queries easily answered, you're in luck. I've given a scrap of the formula to a small human, who may be able to reverse-engineer it. We'll see.

And secondly, here's your fleshie definition -- anything organic.

[debauchewy]

Do you have- the name of this human? [He feels like he has an idea...]

Right. Meaning you are or weren't one prior I imagine.

[paintjobs]

Hmm. Valeria, I think. Are you acquainted?

And yes, that's right. You're speaking with a bonafide Cybertronian, for your information.

[debauchewy]

No, not with that one. Are they impressive?

I'm sorry but that term meanings nothing to me, should I be impressed?

[paintjobs]

That remains to be seen, doesn't it?

Me, though, yes. I am impressive. I'm sure you'd agree if you saw me in person.

[debauchewy]

You'll have to prove it. For now I'm surprised I was even bothered enough to talk to you.

[paintjobs]

My, a bit of an ego on this skinjob.

[debauchewy]

I don't need an ego to feel bored by something.

[paintjobs]

Of course, of course. Now, did you really speak up just to tell me how boring I am?

[debauchewy]

I'm here to talk about hair products, of course.

[paintjobs]

Any suggestions, then?

[debauchewy]

I was hoping you might have some. [A laugh.] I am far worse off when it comes to my hair care right now, believe me.

[paintjobs]

Are you? Why, what's happened?

[debauchewy]

Nothing too concerning. Especially not for you. But if you are curious enough maybe I'll tell you when you finally do manage to impress me.

[paintjobs]

Oh, please, I think you've got that backwards. I don't strive to impress humans -- it just happens naturally.

[debauchewy]

The only way to impress me is to do something, sorry. [A small sigh.]

Anyway~ I'd rather talk about hairgel.

[paintjobs]

It's a pity I don't perform on cue for organics.

So then, what's your brand of choice, hmm?

[debauchewy]

It's a brand called Moving Rubber. [What a find.]

[paintjobs]

How long does it hold?

[debauchewy]

Long enough. I'm sure finding something that holds longer would be easy, but I like the flexibility this brand gives me. Too stiff and I won't get exactly the look I want in all situations.
