[Nexus RP] Blaster at the Embassy!

Ravage drives them out of the Plaza and up to the gate, which is being guarded by Clobber and Garboil--a deep green warmech with a single optic, and a cobalt blue condorlight, the same frametype as Laserbeak and Buzzsaw. She transforms, grabbing one boombox with each hand, and sets them down on the ground.

"At ease, you two," Ravage says. "Blaster's come up for a visit. He's not the Blaster from our universe."

Clobber relaxes visibly.

Ravage turns to Blaster. "Welcome," she says. "You're now in sovereign Destron territory, but you're welcome to spend the afternoon with us here."

They might be calling it an Embassy, but it qualifies as a good-sized base. However, there are some public buildings just outside the gate--it looks like they're building an inn or an oilhouse or something like that, and there's also a public office and a small library. Inside the gate, there are several residences surrounding the central building. There are also civilians inside the gate, including some juveniles, and a juvenile humanoid organic with purple skin. There's a scratching noise inside Soundwave's chest and he laughs. "Viridian, eject," he says, and she does, leaping down to go and join some of the other younger residents.

Soundwave turns to Blaster. "Well," he says, "if we're trying to make friends then I'd hope you wouldn't harm my cassettes, but most of them have other alt-modes now. To be quite honest, I was thinking of retiring the deck, but Viridian likes to rest in there. And Rosanna's a pop star, a singer; you'll like her. But we'll talk inside."

There is a throne room in the main hall of the main building, but beyond it, their private residence is modest, although they don't have to fetch their own energon--a bot who looks like a sanitation model brings the cubes, and a plate full of elaborate gelled energon treats.

"Thanks, Suckerpunch." Ravage grins and dismisses the other bot. "You have to try these gel pastilles, Soundwave makes them himself. He's been spoiling me for the past four million years."

Nexus RP/TFLN overflow with Ziggy

2021-05-10T16:24:27Z

From here: https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6976984.html?thread=3068768984#cmt3068768984

I am not arguing with you about your situation, Ziggy. You know what your life is like far better than I ever could.

I'm just confused, because I was talking about Ravage.

I can't tell if you are upset because of the way you've been treated, which is dreadful, and I'm very sympathetic about it, or are upset with me for trying to protect my wife, or are trying to tell me that Ravage will have to get over it, which, as her husband of less than a year, but her lover of several million years, I honestly don't think is possible for her, because of the degree to which and the ways in which she was hurt when she was very young. Perhaps we should talk in person where I would be able to read you better.

[Nexus RP] Squad Goals (No Suicide): Soundwave, Ravage, Megatron, Harley, Ivy, Captain Boomerang

2021-03-20T03:56:29Z

Soundwave was pleasantly surprised to find that Megatron's comm was for him, and not for Ravage.

He was, however, a little taken aback that Megatron wasn't comming to discuss any of what had happened between them, but rather to deal with an emergency.

On the other hand...it was an emergency that definitely required his attention. Apparently the humans in Harley Quinn's home universe were running their own version of Grindcore, and Harley had brought back a number of escaped prisoners who desperately needed their implants deactivated.

None of them even knew for sure how the implants worked, or whether they would activate when Harley's friends took a step outside the anti-violence field.

This was the sort of thing that Soundwave would have felt it was his duty as a Decepticon reconstructionist to take care of, even if Harley were not Megatron's concordis. "Bring them at once. Will assemble a team to deal with whatever the findings are."

Esmeral was signaling to him. "One moment."

"Esmeral wants to know what these people eat."

He then instructed Esmeral to clear his schedule, and Ravage to come home as soon as possible.

[Nexus RP] Good Morning Starscream

2021-01-23T06:24:38Z

Soundwave was tired when he got up in the morning, even though he had managed to have a decent defragmentation cycle. He and Ziggy and Mick had hit the Zone pretty hard; they'd been making music all night, and a number of other people had joined in, including Glit, and then Rosanna, of all people, had turned up. He always felt energised after a jam like that, but his frame knew it had been hard work.

He managed to get up without waking Ravage, even though Ravage had been sprawled half on top of him. Ravage had been dancing most of the night, and was going to be sore. They were over four million years old, after all.

There was glitter all over the recharge slab again. At least this time, nobody had been firing the glitter cannon at anyone specific. He decided that visiting the washracks would be the better part of valour and got it all off, though he knew there was a good chance he'd missed some. There was always that one spot just under his shoulder cannon where he tended to miss things like glitter and claw marks because it was hard to see even with multiple mirrors. (He didn't miss the Nemesis, but he sure missed nobody caring about that.)

There were no signs of life whatsoever in the refectory. Normally that would've been surprising, but almost everyone on staff had made their way to the party after Ravage had commed them all, once to let them know that he was playing, and a second time to let them know that Rosanna and Glit were singing. He really hoped that someone had stayed behind on guard duty; they relied too much on the anti-violence field as it was.

Anyhow, he needed a morning cube and at least a gallon of coolant, so he sat himself down in the kitchen, made himself a fizz, and tossed in a handful of mica chips, then checked his morning agenda...

Spite is a very effective motivator.

If I didn't do it for Ravi, I probably did it for spite.

I am always surprised when people don't see this in me.

"Soundwave is the sane one."

"Soundwave is the kind one."

Soundwave is also the vindictive one.

Why do only Ravi and Meg ever see this?

Soundwave: is very amused right now.

Orion: got rude surprise. Soundwave: not sorry.

Smooch.

So in another universe, I have apparently received the Shockwave treatment.

Disturbing.

I do however wish that it had been me, and not Ravage, who learned of it.

[NEXUS RP] Soundwave, Ben, Ravage, Laserbeak

2020-10-15T20:28:26Z

It was, for once, a quiet afternoon.

(Which probably meant that Rumble and Frenzy were loose and running amok in town somewhere, but even Soundwave needed a break sometimes.)

Soundwave was at the moment sprawled on a couch which for most of his frametype was low enough to be little better than a pile of pillows on the floor, but it was the right size for most of the people he lived with. They had been watching a lot of really terrible movies. Ravage was stretched out against him, asleep and purring up a storm. Ben was at the other end of the couch; Laserbeak was sitting just above him on her perch. The remains of the takeout Ravage had ordered for Ben were sitting on a low table next to a pile of empty energon cubes.

"Soundwave: could get used to this," he said, and chuckled, because Ravage's ear twitched whenever he spoke. "I look forward to the party on the Lost Light. Resumption of hostilities with Galvatron, perhaps not so much. But I do have a few concerns about ... here."

[NEXUS RP] Soundwave, Ravage, Predaking, Laserbeak

Just at the edge of the perimeter between Destron Hall-to-be and the Wilds, Soundwave lay back on the hillside and looked up at the stars, which were so different and so familiar all at once.

Ravage was a pleasant weight against his side, head resting on his shoulder, fingers entwined with his, as they wordlessly pointed out constellations they knew to each other, drawing new ones where their knowledge ran out.

With his free hand, he pointed to a pair of stars in a tandem orbit, circling each other but always keeping their distance.

Ravage shook his head. {We used to be like that, but not for long. And we didn't explode when we finally breached the distance.}

{I remember a few explosions. You were especially beautiful afterward.} Soundwave laughed, then frowned. Rumble and Frenzy were inside with Laserbeak, Ravage was right here beside him, the other cassettes were dormant, and there was no-one around for miles--until now.

Who was that strange mind-- and what was blocking out the stars at the edge of the Wilds?

Snippets: saved for posterity

And you and I climb, crossing the shapes of the morning
And you and I reach, over the sun for the river
And you and I climb, clearer, towards the movement
And you and I called over valleys of endless seas
