Is there a proper procedure or something for handling sudden species changes? A few weeks ago I was human, and before that I was Cybertronian... and now I'm Cybertronian again! I really hope I stay Cybertronian this time because it wasn't fun being small and squishy.

But hello everyone! My name is Tailgate and I'm not happy to be here at all, but I'm happy to meet new people! So. Hi! I hope that wasn't too eager.

I don't have much experience with organics to be honest, but I'm willing to learn if you don't mind teaching me a thing or two.

[Translation: Someone please be my friend.]

Are there any other Cybertronians out there? Hello?

[daintylegs]

the biggest dif? u mean betwen you and cybertronans?

[slingshots]

sure
since you been both

[daintylegs]

organiks are squishy and gurgly in their bodies. its sor t of gross but i got used to it
cybertronnas are strong! We have hard metal playting and we transform into things. it feels right to me.

Cybertronian? Like Starscream?

[daintylegs]

Starscream?

[ironbuttmonkey]

Yeah, he was here for a while. Former roommate. He mentioned being one of those cybertronians too.

[daintylegs]

That's a bad name. The person who had it was pretty bad too.

He's... not still here, is he?

Hello, Tailgate. What are you wanting to learn about organics? It's a broad field of study.

um
i didt think that far ahead
lets start wit
uh
ur squishy bits! why r u all so squishy? it feels weird

permatext

[lyingheart]

Why are you so not squishy? It's how both of us were made. If I were to find myself suddenly Cybertronian, I think I'd complain about not being squishy. Unless I had to catch something that would have squashed me. There are up and downsides to everything.

[daintylegs]

ok fair enough
oh oh oh how bout that thing on ur head?
the long stringy things
i actually liked having those
they were nice

Hello, Tailgate! I'm Winry Rockbell. I, uh, don't know anything about species changing, but, I think I know some of your people.

[daintylegs]

Rockbell sounds like such a pretty name! I like it a lot!

[It sounds very Cybertronian so Tailgate zeroes in on it right away.]

Oh, you know people like me? Who's all here?

[hands4healing]

...Thank you! [Her name seems to attract a lot more attention than it did back home.]

Um...Starscream was here, but he isn't any more. [She starts ticking them off.] Bumblebee, Knock Out, and Thundercracker are here, though!

[daintylegs]

Oh, I know Bumblebee! But not the other two. Maybe I'll see them around! I hope they're nice.

[He'd try to befriend them even if they weren't. Making friends with dangerous people is Tailgate's way of life.]

I'm glad Starscream's not here though, I've heard that he's not a very nice person.

... But how do you feel about tailgate parties?

[daintylegs]

Tailgate parties?

I almost never throw parties!

Oh my god, am I supposed to throw parties??? But I don't know anyone to invite to any parties! This is going to be terrible!

video;

[kegflipped]

Whoa, man! First of all, you gotta calm down!

We can figure this out. Parties aren't that hard. Especially tailgate parties.

[ They also aren't a requirement for Tailgate, but Troy's just going to see how far he can roll this. ]

You know any choice parking lots?

[daintylegs]

I feel like I'm missing something here.

Is there a different meaning to "Tailgate parties" other than "Parties thrown by Tailgate"?

It's not all that bad. One you get used to it.

Being squishy? I don't know how anyone can handle that!

Research? Taking each moment as an opportunity to experience something through the eyes of another?
