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 ?????

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

It means I may have asked someone to date me and they said yes, but wow, I didn't really think beyond that.



Like, at all.

[Since when do droids date???]

Oh.

[...]

Droids date?

voice

[redshitlord]

I dunno. If Luke ever makes one, I'll ask 'em.

Because, me? Not a droid, dude.

voice

[straightouttacarbonite]

I could ask him myself. How are you not?

[He doesn't actually mean to be a jerk about it, just by everything he knows about... Well, everything... What else could a giant robot be? An impractically big droid, sure, but still.]

voice

[redshitlord]

Uhhh, because I'm an Autobot? Duh.

And, y'know, the whole "actually alive" thing.

voice

[straightouttacarbonite]

You're not mechanical?

voice

[redshitlord]

Yeah. And you're made of like. Organic stuff or whatever.

We're "mechanical life forms".

[Thank you Bee for that one.]

Emphasis on the 'life form'.

voice

[straightouttacarbonite]

But how's that different from droids?

voice

[redshitlord]

I dunno, maybe the whole "actually alive and not just programmed code" thing?

voice

[straightouttacarbonite]

Well how am I supposed to tell the difference?

So how--

[He cuts off sharply, not sure if he actually wants the answer to the question he's on the verge of asking.]

voice

[redshitlord]

Because I'm actually telling you right now?

... how what?

voice

[straightouttacarbonite]

Didn't someone build you?

[Otherwise, where do they come from...?]

voice

[redshitlord]

Uhhh... Dunno?

I wasn't exactly like. Conscious for the whole building thing? Or paying attention when they explained it?

voice

[straightouttacarbonite]

Well you've gotta come from somewhere.

voice

[redshitlord]

The All Spark.

voice

[straightouttacarbonite]

Okay, I have no idea what that means.

voice

[redshitlord]

It's where sparks come from.

The... shiny things we've all got in us that like. Power us and make us ... us?

voice

[straightouttacarbonite]

Oh.

[ IT'S A DROID WITH RELIGION. ]

voice

[redshitlord]

[Han no......]

See? Not a droid.

voice

[straightouttacarbonite]

[HE REMAINS UNCONVINCED but maybe arguing is not the right tactic here.]

I guess you'd know better than me. So where are you going on your date?

voice

[redshitlord]

Oh uh.


To the observation place. That's good right?

voice

[straightouttacarbonite]

I guess? I don't really know what's normal where you're from... Do you eat?

voice

[redshitlord]

Uh, yeah. Doesn't everybody?

voice

[straightouttacarbonite]

Well, I don't know anything about what you are.

That's a pretty normal date thing, though, I think. In most places.

voice

[redshitlord]

Autobot. Easy!

Oh, yeah? What about like. Looking at... stuff. Stars and stuff?
