WHO: THE CREW OF THE LOST LIGHT
WHERE: MACCADAM’S OLD OIL HOUSE
WHEN: BEFORE DRIFT AND RATCHET GET MAULED BY TARN, AFTER THE RODIMUS/TARN INCIDENT
WHAT: INFORMATION SHARING AND PEOPLE DRINKING TOGETHER
WARNINGS: NONE MAN, NONE

Informality is the name of the game here, people. Rodimus and Megatron, through some handwaved miracle have managed to talk to each other without yelling long enough to get the word out that hey - if you’re a part of the crew you’d better show up for some Important Information and Crew Bonding. But probably not phrased like that unless you talked to Rodimus. Drinks, however, were totally promised (again by Rodimus). You just have to make them yourself, although that was not clarified.

There is a sign on the front door that says NO TARNS ALLOWED. The plural is important since there’s like. Four goddamn Megatrons.

Topics covered:

Tarn is here btw and that sucks for everyone so. Don’t.

For the time being they’re going to include Brainstorm as an Autobot - he starts acting like a Decepticon and any crew member has the right to punch him until he stops.

Drift is acting third-in-command. Non-negotiable.

AND FOR GOD’S SAKE DO NOT ANTAGONIZE DECEPTICONS WHO ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU, RODIMUS.

Ideas of why/how they got here - this includes getting the crew caught up (who hasn’t been already) on the quantum ships as well as what they know of the Brainstorm situation.

People who are capable of doing things to make life less sucky should do that. Team Rodimus! This is your moment!

AND MORE, POSSIBLY.

The rest of this post is to mingle, talk to your crew members. If you have questions that need to be addressed to either captain, specify which one you want if you have one in mind or otherwise one or the other/both will get to it!

If there is anything your character would bring up to the group as a whole, feel free to make a thread for that too - this is really kind of a free-for-all group post to have people mingle and gossip and hammer out something to do!

And he knew how stubborn Rodimus was. All too well. His gaze shifts down as he eyes the bar, sad that he can't just wash that whole feeling like he was being mocked down with some Engex. No one else had to deal with their problems on this ship--why did he?

"Guess so, but the same ol' datapad's going to get old, fast."

...

But it's the compliment that surprises him. Not just the fact that it came out of Rodimus's mouth (for a moment, he thought Rodimus was talking to himself), but the sincerity in it. Were Trailbreaker the emotional sort, he'd have grabbed the Captain in a hug. Heck, he still wants to--pulling the other slightly in for a quick two-second hug.

"You too, Captain."

A smile. It's amazing what one compliment can do sometimes.

"You too."

"Get Nautica to write you something from memory." He is assuming she's capable of doing that, at least.

Are they doing a hugging thing? They are doing a hugging thing, and Rodimus gets two seconds to attempt to pat him on his back - face full of truck and plating before he's free. But one hand goes to Trailbreaker's arm in a friendly gesture, a smile replacing the worry and concern that had been evident earlier.

You too, Captain.

Yeah, he's going to remember this even as part of him twists at his tanks and the thought of Trailbreaker not listening to him.

"Tell me again when we all get back to the Lost Light, okay?" Because that will mean that the other's alive and well and will absolutely be able to do the thing because any other option is unacceptable.
