Tempted to start blocking people on all platforms that are super vocal haters of stuff that I love. I dunno if it’s just me being sensitive but just. I’m tired of not being able to enjoy things in peace, yknow?

I like being inconspicuous. [ They say as the spider had just managed to make herself comfy in the corner ] It’s only when I’m not fully charged.

"So you're shy, or something? You don't like being recognized?" Vortex's head tilts. "Or is that only when you aren't fully charged?"

"Relaxing? So you just relax on counters? I guess everyone has their own ways to relax."

"What in the world?" Vortex looks closer at the 'thing' sitting on the counter, curious. "What are you? Hmm... a spy? I thought the war was over- probably not that... Maybe you're lost? Or maybe something else... Maybe I'm just overthinking it..."

That’s a bit dark but then again.. [ They shrug a little ] That.. actually makes a lot of sense and that is quite normal for every bot or con to do these things on a regular basis.

Vortex laughs. "The number decreases even further when they give up, because then the people with the plans keep struggling when something goes wrong. Whereas, when people give up on the plan, they may be able to improvise in real time without predicting outcomes."

"I highly doubt that; I believe they have greed instead. Money can fill a man's eye with greed, just like a child with sugar."

"Lookin' for a fight? You got one!"

    𝓑𝑳𝑼𝑬 𝑴𝑶𝑶𝑵 .    

Vortex's head tilts. "Why eat the rich?"

"The number decreases because many people have plans that don't have a backup for that plan, if something goes wrong. Then if that back up plan fails, many don't have a back up plan for that back up plan. Then the numbers keep going lower and lower."

"Anytime, kid!" Vortex smiles once more. "Well, I'm going to go; I have some things to do."

Vortex hugs Grasshopper back. "Thanks! And anytime, kid! Remember to enjoy every moment you can. When life gives you a chance to catch something big, and you don't take it, it doesn't always come back again."

"Time passes by fast, kid. You'll be there before you know it!" Vortex smiles. "In the meantime... enjoy your youth while you still can... being an adult is what you kids would call 'boring' and such. Having work and such... You don't have that when you're a kid." -

She laughs. "It isn't that bad, kid. It's not affecting anything. There are Cybertronians four times older than that; some might even be ten times older. We live a long time... even humans can't live as long as us. Which is a good thing. Take me for example..." -

"Why are you surprised, kid?" Vortex tilts her head in confusion. "A lot of Cybertronians are around that age or older."

"Wait... what? H- WHAT!?" Her optics widened with concern. "Are you okay!?"

"Megatron is shaking who???" Vortex is confused.

Vortex sighs. "You can do whatever you want, kid. The only thing I ask is that you make sure you're serious about what you do; when you get yourself into things, sometimes you can't back out."

"It might seem cool, but it is like having a pest in your room. It is annoying and hard to get rid of. Even then, one does not just appear in a snap."

Her head tilts. "You want an arch nemesis? You do realize those aren't the best things to have."

"I don't mind if they disagree with me; they are free to have their opinion. They have no say in changing mine."

"Dreadwing has nothing to say." Vortex crosses her arms. "So don't involve him into this conversation"

She nods, letting her go. "Well, just remember, no more goading crazy bots!"

"It's a personal issue if you let it get in the way. There are ways to avoid an avalanche; there are signs to tell if one is about to start. So I don't see the issue."

"It doesn't affect bots with aerial alt modes, so why should it matter to me?"

Vortex looks up at the snow falling from the sky. "Why are the others scared of you?" She tries to catch a snowflake. "Such a harmless thing... How can something so small cause so much chaos?"

"None taken, but thank you, Arcee." She sighs. "It's a role y'all might not seem to need, but I can always find a position for it somewhere along the line."

Vortex smiles. "I'd rather stick with my current role as an interrogator; it's what I'm best at."

"There's always a possibility of anything, Megatronus. Anger is difficult to control; I get it. Yet, you need to train mentally and emotionally to control it. Do not allow your emotions to control you."

"Add more sections to the article; come up with an idea that could make someone go around the article to do what they want. Run a simulation, then add the sections of the article to avoid someone going around the article."

"I DON'T WANT MORE CHAOS TO UNFOLD!" She shakes her head. "I'M NOT LETTING MORE CHAOS UNFOLD! ALL OF THE CARDS IN THE DECK HAVE BEEN LAID OUT! IT'S DONE AND OVER WITH! IT'S IN THE PAST, MEGATRON!"

"I mean- Megatron is a fan of you... anyways... it's good that she taught you something new. Yet, rage isn't that bad of a thing... Once you figure out how to control it, at least... Rage can give you extra strength and power, giving you somewhat of a boost..." -

Vortex crosses her arms. "Yet does that stop people from breaking them? No, not really. Unless you patch up the loopholes. That's what we Combaticons do; we find errors in the system. Errors that are easy to miss."

"I DIDN'T GET OFFLINED BY SHOCKWAVE; THERE'S NO NEED TO DO THAT!" She continues to lie, afraid to cause more drama. "YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THAT, MEGATRON!"

Her optics widened. "Uh... Nope... Never happened... Never going to happen..." She gets nervous.

"Uh, Arcee... is this necessary?" Vortex tilts her head, confused. "Cybertronians and other beings might do it anyway- people can find loopholes in the system, so it might be better if you patch up any holes before anyone discovers them and abuses it. Just simple advice, no offense..."
