//-anymore after this post, so I more than likely won't see any replies or messages here. However, my DMs on my main will always be open.

//It was fun, and I enjoyed my time, but I doubt I'll do a public rp like this again.

//I was already beginning to rp here less and less anyway, so I'm honestly not all that broken up about leaving this platform (for rping, at least. I'll still be active on my main @pheonyx98.bsky.social, for those who want to reach out about anything) I probably won't even be opening these accounts-

//Since everything has kind of blown up, my accounts (General Break Out, Omen/???, and Brunner) will be going on indefinite hiatus. I may end up deleting these accounts as well, but I doubt it. In all honesty, I'll likely just end up forgetting about them (eventually).

Bye! Have a nice rest of your day!

[Brunner waves to Halk and walks back towards his forge. Time to get to work.]

[Fin]

Oh! Alright then. Well, I'll get started on this, then. It was nice talking with you, Halk. I'll keep you updated on the frame and the restaurant.

//I think I know what you're talking about. You put it in the server, right? I meant to watch it, but I think I just lost it in the channels

Of course, it's no less real; polyamory doesn't invalidate a relationship. As for me finding a bot to get with- I'm not sure. Maybe I'll find one, maybe I won't. I'm just going to go with the flow. I don't have intense feelings either way about it.

[Brunner shrugs.]

//He's just been drowning in legal paperwork. He has NO idea what's happening around him lmao

[Brunner's eyes widen a little.]

Wait, that's confirmed? You never told me! Congrats, man. I had no idea you guys became official.

Ok, so they've gone on a date, but they haven't put a label on it yet? That makes more sense, ok. I'm curious to know who it is, now.

[Brunner laughs, shaking his head.]

Of course Alice would be the first of us to get a date with a Cybertronian.

[Brunner laughs.]

I mean you're right..

..Hang on, wait what? Alice is dating one of the bots? Why didn't he tell me?!

[He looks a little indignant.]

I usually assume spirits are at least neutral, but it's good that he's not the aggressive kind. But I can also see that thinking about it kinda confuses you, so I won't press too hard. Don't want to give you a headache, if it's something we find difficult to comprehend.

He sounds cool. I'm glad to be a part of this project. But if he doesn't have a frame, how can you interact talk to him?

[Brunner starts warming up the forge properly, getting ready to start working.]

[Brunner laughs.]

It's alright, Halk. But it is good to get a name for this project. You said Hideaki? Tell me about him.

Thanks! And, yeah, it's a lot of work, but I enjoy it. Besides, if I need a break, I can focus on making things in the forge. That's probably the main reason this will take so long, honestly.

[He motions to the blueprints.]

Lots of paperwork to do besides this-

Right now, I'm just trying to find a good supplier for normal energon. If there's a way to cook it into different meals, that sounds amazing, but I'll have to learn that later. Though, I'm also working on getting additives for them, mostly metal shavings right now.

[Brunner laughs, smiling to Halk.]

Why, thank you! I appreciate it. I look forward to having you as one of my first regulars.

Oh gods, no- I couldn't afford a chef like that. Besides, all the recipes are going to be pretty easy, more like simple comfort meals. This is still primarily going to be a hang out spot.

[Brunner chuckles.]

Ehhh, somewhat. I've got all the permits I need, just need to start looking for a cook. I'm just working on getting the job offering posted up and then I'll be good.

Hmm... I should be able to get that done. Might be a little bit longer, considering how much work needs to be done. Tell yourself two months. It'll feel better when I get this done sooner than that.

[He stands up straight from looking over the blueprints and measuring.]

Oh, no not at all. Besides, I like big projects like this. Watching them come together. I can't guarantee how quick I'll be able to get this though, unfortunately, though.

[Brunner looks up with a grin.]

I look forward to it anyway.

-headphones for Halk.]

To protect your hearing. Trust me, it's worth it. You don't want to end up like me.

Oh yeah, definitely. Just a little skittish, which I can't exactly blame them for. We're not exactly a familiar species, from what I've been able to pick up.

[Brunner takes out some of the metal Halk brought and measures a few different things.]

Oh, and here.

[He pulls out a second pair of-

She came in a few nights ago, found her sitting in an alley and offered a space in the warehouse. We kind of just work around each other right now. I think she's still kind of trying to decide if she wants to stay or not, but she seems comfortable enough here.

Woah- Slow down, they're still settling in. I didn't tell you two yet because they're not super comfortable around others yet.

[Brunner chuckles.]

Her name is Bolts, and as far as I can tell, she's a medic. I think she's a neutral, but seems more uncomfortable around Decepticons.

Never said ya had to be normal at all. Normal is boring, anyway. I'm doing quite well today, thank you. Got a new bot roommate, actually. She's still settling in.

[Brunner starts looking over the blueprints.]

[Brunner laughs slightly.]

Well, you're certainly hyper.

[He motions for Halk to bring the wheelbarrow over to the tool rack opposite from the forge.]

Any special occasion or just a good day in general?

[The door to the warehouse starts rolling up, revealing a grinning Brunner.]

"Halk! Good to see you! How have you been?"

[He's already wearing his apron, and the forge's coals are already warm.]

[From: Brunner, To: Halk; tag(s): Bot Mother]

Works for me. I'll make sure to be home then. See ya tomorrow, Halk!

[From: Brunner, To: Halk; tag(s): Bot Mother]

Another? Wow, alright then! You'll have to guide me on what to do, but yeah, sure. I don't mind helping you at all. What time do you want to come over?
