Who: Drift, Vandal and Wing
What: An evening drive
When: After this
Warnings fluffier than a blowdried sheep

Drift was worried about Vandal. He figured anyone seeing that post would worry. She looked different. Tense, like under stress. And he couldn't do much: he wasn't First Aid. He wasn't Rung. He couldn't do anything to help her...except this.

He rolled up outside her trailer. The last time he'd been here had been back then, when he could fit inside the trailer. It felt strange to see it again from the 'right' perspective, feeling less weak and powerless. She'd been so strong for him back then, even facing Wing, she'd been stronger and smarter than he was. He wished she could see that, could see herself the way he did.

He stays in his alt mode, giving a fast little honk. "Ready?" He was determined to make tonight go well, to keep that smile on her face.

"Well, you know. Humans, originally had to reproduce sexually. Tab A, slot B, but uh. Not so much anymore? There's enough of us that it doesn't matter, and we can genetically engineer children now, too. So gender roles and stuff don't really have a use."

There's a beat as she settles back down from actually talking about something that might make her look socially aware.

"And it was a cute skirt, Drift. Very cute." She offers him a very wry smile, making it obvious she's teasing him.

Man I have serious need for proper a o_O icon.

[winged_knight]

"That's interesting. Admittedly that's because it's entirely foreign, but I think that's the fun part of learning about alien cultures. It tends to broaden your mind or shift your perspective."

"But uh...." His optics jump between Drift and Vandal and back again. "....floofy skirts?"

Yup, That's one heck of a look Wing is giving you Drift.

"I gather this is something I missed?"

"Still doesn't explain the clothes. Unless the whole point was to take one gender and make it uncomfortable." Nope. He's never getting over that. "Hope you did away with that stuff."

Frag. "Uh. Long story. It was during the, uh, the pages thing."

[vandalization]

She laughs.

"Yeah honestly I never understood the whole 'beauty is pain' thing. S'why I wear pants, Drift. Wink.

"Unfortunately not. Still exists to this day."

Wing is given a very apologetic look.

"Yeah. He kinda ended up in an unfortunate outfit. Unfortunately cute."

AHAHAHAHA YES :D

[winged_knight]

"For protection it makes sense I think..." And then he makes a face, "But 'beauty is pain'? Who would even think such a thing?"

And that's an arc look on Wing's face. He takes a long draw on his energon.

"I like stories." True. "And I've got time." Also true.

[sword_redemption]

"Wasn't fond of pants either." It is always no-pants-o'clock when you're a robot, Vandal. "Speaking of, I probably owe you a pair."

Right. You know what? It is time for high grade.

A lot of high grade. Right now. Until he starts coughing. It is a tactical decision of changing the subject through coughing.

[vandalization]

"Yeahhhhh well we can't all run around naked as a jay-bird, Drift." The teasing. It is merciless.

A feigns surprise.

"I don't think he wants to talk about it, Wing."

[winged_knight]

"Why not?" Nevermind human social faux pas, pfft, they don't really apply to present company. "Granted I've no idea what a jay-bird is."

Wing can't help but smirk, he shouldn't be enjoying this so much. He pouts a little. "Did you take pictures at least?"

He never did hear the story behind how Drift got turned into a girl. But...oh. So far his stint as pseudo-Drift has gone unquestioned, even after it became obvious it had nothing to do with Blurr's page.

He chokes a little on his energon, twitching. Right, strategic distractions might not be a bad idea.

"All that coughing. I think he needs his vents checked."

[sword_redemption]

"I'm not naked. My hatches are closed." He may look mildly affronted. He coughs a bit more. "Because humans are ridiculously fragile." Seriously. His feet bled from walking. Walking.

"Better not be pictures. I hope some people never find out it was me." Oh he really hopes that.

"Vents are fine." He takes a step back, throwing up a defensive hand unless Vandal gets...tickly.

[vandalization]

"It's a social thing. Like I know you guys wouldn't care, but it would still be weird to wander around naked here." She laughs, and when Drift puts his hands up she scoots forward a little.

Oh does that mean you want tickles? Because you're expecting it?

"There's no pictures. Unfortunately. But he was so upset I couldn't bring myself to exploit it."

Drift you kinda dug your own grave on that one. She's reaching around your arms so she can get to that vulnerable spot on his side.

"But if you wanna see something funny Wing, help me out here, hmm?"

¬‿¬ (I need this as an icon too. LOL!)

[winged_knight]

Too bad. It almost slips out, but he catches himself. Though that likely would be awkward. But...interesting.

"I would never tell anyone." Wing means that in all seriousness. "Someday we'll trade embarrassing stories, that's fair right?"

He takes Vandal's cue, sets down his drink and moves forward. "I'm sorry I have to do this Drift, but if Karrie asks for help, I really can't say no."

He looks sidelong at Vandal, "Want me to hold him down for you?"

[sword_redemption]

"You could, here." If only Drift knew about double-dog dares, you'd be quadruple-dog dared, just to get the heat off him.

"I don't think this qualifies as 'embarassing'." Mortifying, really. "It was because I wanted Vandal to be happy. And feel pretty. And..I don't know." He's babbling because he does not like the look in her eyes one bit.

"...you wouldn't." He may be nearly begging.

[vandalization]

She barks a laugh at Drift's response.

"I could here? You want me to run around all naked and gross? Drift I had no idea you felt that way." She's already starting to get that grin, "You had good intentions. It's the thought that counts. You're still gonna get tickled."

A nod to Wing, an almost too-polite now of her head.

"That's fair. And yes, Wing, if you would be so kind. Sit on his legs. He kicks." For all the good it does. He never fights her directly. Just gets wiggly.

[winged_knight]

"Gross? Who said you were gross?" Wing disapproves of this descriptor. Vandal you are far from gross.

"Aww, well that's sweet. Vandal's right, you had good intentions." Wing smirks at her, "Well fair is fair. Did you tell him what a horrible driver I am?"

He's still nonchalantly advancing towards Drift as he talks to Vandal. "We have to get him on the floor first though. Unless he wants to obliges us first?" Wing is just looking at you really sweetly right now Drift. Clearly this is abuse of power of some variety.

[sword_redemption]

"I don't think you're gross. Unless you look a lot different under clothes than I did."

Drift is trying to retreat, suavely, out of reach. "Look. This is really, uh, unnecessary. You don't need to do this. Really."

He also doesn't need to trip over the crate Wing had brought.

It's like fate hated him.

[vandalization]

"Well, neither of you have seen me- yeah anyways." She laughs because this is just silly as silly gets. Two robots assuring her she'd look good in the nude. Two very attractive...

Anyways.

"Wow, it's like as soon as you said it." She winces though, hoping that fall didn't really hurt.

"I'm sorry we have to do this, Drift," No, she's really not at all.

"Wing?" She says with a polite smile as she scrambles up Drift with a startling ease, "Get 'im."

[winged_knight]

"I've seen anatomy drawings, is it much different?" It's perfectly natural Vandal, clothes are what's weird.

And it's not that fate hates you Drift, it just really likes Vandal right now. About time too.

Wing tries not to laugh as Drift goes down on his aft--that's just reveling in another's misfortune--but he can't help it as he watches Vandal scrambles up the swordmech's frame. There's a difference, really!

He kneels, attempting to hook his arms around both of Drift's lower legs so he can pin them to his sides. "I don't know Karrie, this seems unfair. Shouldn't you at least let him beg for mercy?"

[sword_redemption]

"Human females have these jiggly bits," Drift said, trying to sound educational.

But it's hard to sound suitably educational when you're flailing through the air, landing on your back. He's had worse falls, but probably not more embarrassing ones.

"Vandal--!" It's bad enough Wing's laughing already, the last he needs is for her to actually tickle him.

He squirms, trying to wriggle free from Wing's grasp. "Please. You don't know, Wing." ...you don't know the horror..!!

[vandalization]

"Your mileage may vary," She says calmly to Wing.

"Jiggly bits? You mean boobs? Are you a boob guy, Drift? Y'know amongst humans they say most guys are." This is too good.

She hooks her fingers into the gaps just under poor Drift's arms and goes to town.

Maybe not fair, but funny as shit.

[winged_knight]

"It will?" The raise of an optic ridge because taking that literally is way more amusing than the idiom itself.

"...jiggy bits? Like they move of their own accord?" Scabbards and flight panels and what-not he could understand, but fleshy bits? He smirks at Vandal's commentary. Wing has next to no idea what it means, but he'll play along. "Oh really? So what's the appeal Drift?"

The jet gives Drift sympathetic look. "I'm kind of committed now though, she'll just turn on me if I back down," he says as he hooks his fingers into the back of Drift's knee joints. "But I'm pretty sure that's inevitable at some point anyway."

Especially after this. He fully expects retaliation of some variety at some point.

[sword_redemption]

"I know that human females are weirdly squishy in the chassis." He holds a hand up to try to protect himself. "Design makes no sen^sssseeeeee---!!"

So much for expecting mercy from Vandal.

"S-s-supposed to be more afra-fraid of me than he-he-er!" It's all he can manage to blurt out, his limbs thrashing, laughing in spite of himself.

[vandalization]

"It- yeah, Wing." She just gives him a wry glance.

"Listening to you guys try to explain this has to be he best thing I've heard in a long time," She says, stifling her own laughter, "Oh? Doesn't make sense? I'm insulted."

No she's not. But it does give her a good excuse to tickle him more thoroughly.

"But Drift you're so cute when you laugh, not very intimidating if you ask me."

[winged_knight]

He just peers at you Vandal, like you're going to have to explain that one some time.

"I guess we should do it more often then. Unless you want to educate us Vandal?" Really, it's way more fun to speculate and see her laugh though. "They must serve some purpose, maybe they're good at cushioning things?"

Wing has no idea what he's talking about anymore but it doesn't matter, because there's so much laughter in the room it's bouncing off the walls. It's a good thing Wing shares a similar paint scheme to Drift's, because the transfer from this is gonna look mighty strange. As it is he's having trouble laughing and keeping Drift's ankles pinned. He's begging to get kicked and doesn't even care.

"But Drift, you make it sound so terrible!" I mean really... the tortured noises Drift is making right now. Wing laughs again at Vandal's response. "He really is. It's a good look for him."

[sword_redemption]

Drift is going to grit his teeth, trying to fight for composure. It won't end well. But he's a fighter, so this is what he does.

"They're too small to be good bumpers," he manages to choke out. "Especially Vandal's."

Oh yes. He went there.

He will likely regret going there.

In fact, he regrets it already, his composure shattering like an iceberg, collapsing into really, really, unmanly giggles.

[vandalization]

Oh she will. She will.

"You want me to tell you all about boobies? What are you guys, fourteen? And I-"

Oh Drift. Owch. He is going to get a fresh, renewed bout of tickles for that.

"Wing, you gonna let him talk to me like that? Seriously! Hey Drift if you say 'Vandal is the prettiest lady I've ever seen' and Ill stop ticking you."
