Room Crew Take-Over 2

It's officially crowded in here. I swear, every single time I turn around, there's someone quite a bit too close to me for comfort. A 'vette's gotta have his space!

So we have eleven, get this, ELEVEN, new crew members. All of them come within a few hours of each other. It's not even fall yet and we're filling up. I honestly have no idea of what Darkfire's going to do with the lack of space beginning to show in her room. I for one refuse to give up my spot, unless she makes some room on a pillow for me again. Ah, the good times when it was just Skyfire and I. Plenty of space and privacy for all. Now I never get any sort of break from this insanity.

We have the Robot Heroes figures chatting up a storm. Just because they're small doesn't mean they're quiet. Starscream's now finding quite a bit to argue about with one of the new arrivals: Astrotrain. Then there's the real problem: With the lack of space, Darkfire's moved some of the Autobots into Decepticon territory, and no one's happy about it. Recharge is going to be lacking if this keeps up.

Of the new arrivals, there's the Build Team and Car Brothers. They're the rowdy bunch now occupying the Decepticon space and they're fighters for sure. For that I can say I admire them. But how they kick up such a ruckus is beyond me.

What floors me even more is that Darkfire says that there will be more. Where is she going to fit all of us? No one is moving into any drawers or under the bed. Either she's prepared to scoot over or she put up some new shelves.

Ah yes, news on the others? Well, Timebomb is slowly talking a bit more about himself to Darkfire. Never qutie met someone quite like this mech before. Synapse has become a little more outgoing, but he's still as timid about new people as ever. I hope these newbies don't do something ridiculous.

//Connection stopped---new user reboot//

Timebomb here, reporting on something a little bigger. Darkfire's currently preparing with Synapse and myself for any trouble that might be coming up. Self defense is an issue they both need to work on. The kid (Synapse) won't be able to do anything on the battle field until he solves some of his own issues first. He's got to trust and he has to stop freezing up. Darkfire's got it a bit harder being so small. But I trust that we'll keep her alright.

This is Timebomb signing off with the Room Crew. Take care and be careful all!

Gearing Up...

Looks like there's trouble brewing elsewhere at the moment. I'll have to find out what's going on with these new Room Crew-mates' arrivals in due time. Right now, one of the other members of the Terrain Resistance is in need of aid: Mouse. Something about Naraku and Voldemort and the Book of the Dead, I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with this Naraku.

Synapse is prepared to help out with any spying/scouting that would be needed. Timebomb's ready to stretch his fighting skills again.

Speaking of Synapse, that spaceship is currently curled up in my room. 10-feet of large metal robot in my room. Thanks for the heads-up Kenya, he came back home safe and sound to a rather agitated me. I couldn't berate him too much, he started to wilt after my first few words so we settled for just quiet, relieved sitting time. The Room Crew has scattered all over my room to welcome Synapse back. Well...at least the Autobot section of the Room Crew. Starscream and Megatron could care less. Skywarp and Thundercracker, they were nice enough to bid a small welcome.

My little guys are all itching for some sort of action. After hearing news of Mouse's trouble, they're quite ready to do something. I warned them off combat though.

"You guys aren't made of steel and you all are not over 15 feet in height. I don't want you all getting hurt!"

"But we can help," says Tracks adamantly. Movie!Bumblebee and Ironhide nod, or in Ironhide's case, whirs and charges his cannons.

"You'll get crushed, that's what," I grumble under my breath as I settle back, the purr of Synapse's engines somewhat calming. The Crew's been at it all day.

"There must be something we can do. We cannot let you or them fight alone," Optimus Prime says. For a tiny guy, he's got a big heart--er lasercore?

I sigh. "We'll see what you all can do. I've told Mouse about out willingness to help out. If he has any ideas for you, I'll take you all off the side-lines. But only until then."

Skyfire and Perceptor are watching this whole thing quietly. I think they're both calculating up the damages that can occur and are figuring out how to repair them.

"Sentimental idiots, the lot of you. You can count the Decepticons out of this shenanigan!" sneers movie!Starscream. Yeah, this incarnation of Starscream won't listen to a word of tiny Megatron. But the two of them think on the same tracks. Only Thundercracker looks a little dubious about non-involvement, and if TC is dubious, Skywarp must be feeling something as well.

I've got to prepare myself as well. Being nothing but a liability will be terrible and I do want to help.
