All right, so I'm going to be honest here. I haven't really ever seriously dated until now.

I know, real shocking. That-- that would be sarcasm. I mean, what with a four million year long war, that doesn't really cater to a life of romance for most of us. Anyway. I need a bit of advice.

I, uh. I really want to do my best to impress my boyfriend. He's sweet and friendly and really, really incredible and I want to make this work. I really don't want to screw this up, so hopefully a few of you have had some experience in dating.

Like, I dunno. Date suggestions? Methods to impress said boyfriend? I'm not sure I could really do this the Decepticon way. He kinda might take offense.

That depends. Have you worked out how to switch forms yet? There's really only so much anyone can do with a human body, even me.

[forcowardice]

For the most part. I still haven't really mastered it, but it's getting smoother.

I dunno how you can really dress up someone who turns into a dud bomb, but I'm open to suggestions.

[paintjobs]

You'd be amazed at what can be done with a rotary buffer.

[ knock out, did you really have to make that sound so sensual. (the answer is yes, he did.) ]

[forcowardice]

Uh, heh. Oh my. Okay? Sure.

[paintjobs]

Let me know next time you're in your own form. Oh, and set aside a few hours... five should do.

[forcowardice]

Five hours for buffing?

Well, I guess I can't argue. Not like the K-Class got their buffing done after our reformat. Not really any point then.

[paintjobs]

Trust me, there's more to buffing than you could imagine. But even then, that's not the only step. Not by a long shot! Looking as good as I do is no easy matter, you know.

[forcowardice]

I mean this as sincerely as possible, but I doubt I'd look as good as you do, Knock Out.

[he's a self-aware weenie loser]

[paintjobs]

[ aw. it's totally true, but he appreciates the ego-stroke nonetheless. ]

Not even yours truly can manage the impossible, Fulcrum. But we'll have you looking very, very presentable.

[forcowardice]

I'll take what I can get. Thanks, Knock Out.

[paintjobs]

[ oh god THERE IT IS AGAIN. being thanked. that's so weird. (but... nice??)

after an awkward pause: ] You're welcome. Tell me when you're ready.
