HELP OK SO

UM

I NEED TO KNOW LIKE WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU ASK SOMEONE TO GO DO SOMETHING AND THEY SAY YES

ALSO WHEN YOU KIND OF MAYBE



THINK THEYRE REALLY COOL ??? IN A LOT OF WAYS

TAILGTE SAYS BRING A PRESENT AND TALK ABOUT YROUSELF BUT ?????



HOW DO I DO THIS HELP ITS IMPORTANT

[No, it's really not that important. He's just panicking and completely misreading a situation. Whoops.]

Comments

[deal]

Are you asking about a date?

[redshitlord]

... I think so?

[deal]

Just so you know, they're pretty normal and nothing to stress out about. If you like someone and want to spend time with them, just be yourself and relax. Giving them a present might make things awkward, though.

[redshitlord]

Okay, but, see, Tailgate said to give the present, and he's actually from the same world as ... this guy. So they could do it different!

And yes it's something to freak out about!

[deal]

It really isn't. I promise.

What present are you wanting to give to him, anyway?

[redshitlord]

[Jazz hands into:]

Boat polish.

[deal]

[She has no words. At all.

It takes her a while to respond.]

Is that some kind of sex thing where you're from? It's not like he has a boat here that can be polished.

[redshitlord]

Wh-- no! Gross!

He turns into a boat!

[deal]

He what?

[She wasn't expecting that to be the answer. At all.]

How is that even possible?

[redshitlord]

He's an Autobot, duh.

We transform.

[deal]

It's not like I've ever met you guys before. How was I supposed to know?

What do you transform into?

[redshitlord]

Because we're all over the ship?

Me? I'm the coolest car onboard.

[deal]

I've been a little busy arriving and going right over to the haunted prison to really meet people.

So you get to be the first Autobot I meet.

[Awkward.]

I'm Cassandra.

[redshitlord]

Eeesh, tough break.

But you lucked out! I'm probably the best human-Autobot relations we've got!


Sideswipe.

[deal]

Sideswipe.

[She says his name, to commit it to memory.]

Is it rude to ask if I can see you turn into a car?

[redshitlord]

No way, dude, that's totally fine!

Where are you?

[deal]

My room on the Moro deck, but I can meet you anywhere.

[She sounds too eager, she thinks, and bites her lip. ]

[redshitlord]

Oh, well. I'm on my way to the observation place, so...

Meet you there?

[deal]

Yeah, see you there. It shouldn't take me too long to get there.

[redshitlord]

Awesome. I'll be there.
