Nexus. Black Dog. Meeting of Kias.

[random_xtras]

It's a quiet day in the Black Dog. None of Blackout's army is here today, none of Hormah's people are here today, no bots are trying Nemesis' patience, the puppies are sleeping, and all the resident sentient virii except for the one that looks like a cute busty Asian girl are raising pit somewhere else right now.

svKia rather approves of the quiet as she wanders into a place that she just barely remembers in dreams, smiling as she sees the things that haven't changed. Then she perks as a familiar voice calls her name. "Oh. Another me. How lovely."

The other Kia is of a tech similar to G1, though more slender, and her pale blue eyes are bright with wonder as she replies in the same soft Jamaican lilt. "I didn't realize I was so cute."

svKia laughs, then looks toward the red mech who is sharing the table with her alter sister. "Hello, Perceptor."

"Hello, Kia," comes the shy but friendly reply from the young scientist. "Won't you join us? We've asked for a large order of meganoodles with botcheese sauce."

"I love meganoodles." svKia settles in one of the two empty chairs, and then starts learning about her alter sister and Perceptor through conversation as they do the same to her.

Random pauses and starts to fidget, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Yeah," he finally admits. He then frowns a bit as he thinks back to early that week. "She was from a world that was like that of a human movie, I think?"

[random_xtras]

"Like a human movie?" Perceptor tilts his head quizzically.

"Oh not that awful thing by Michal Bay?" Aria's little voice pipes, full of disapproval.

svKia winces as edvKia looks around curiously. "Oh, that is a terrible movie."

[lumina_mechnics]

Random starts trying to remember enough to try to explain when he's interrupted by Aria's question. "Uhhhhhhh." Who? What?

[random_xtras]

"There is a series of movies in some realities which purports to tell the story of Cybertronian arrival on Earth," says svKia in her soft voice. "They were directed by the human man named Micheal Bay, and they are... very unpleasant."

"The tech of the robots in the movies resembles that of my own," adds Aria. "The movies themselves are severely lacking in story plot or character development, and may be summed up in three words. One of which I'm too little to say."

"Bosoms, bottoms, and boom," says svKia.

"...That is a much more polite way of wording it." Aria blinks.

The two edv bots are now wincing and looking at each other with a silent promise to stay away from the media in question.

". . . Sounds like something the Lambo twins might like." Or liked, anyway. Random raises an optic ridge in partial confusion and partial disbelief.

"And from what I've heard tell, Transformers in my reality haven't had the best luck with Hollywood."

[random_xtras]

Perceptor turns back to him as edvKia does the same, then lifts his brow ridges slightly. "I'm not sure I'm familiar with the Lambo twins."

"Sunstreaker and Sideswipe?" asks svKia. "And will you explain your last statement?"

((With possible spoilers for "Hoist Goes Hollywood"))

[lumina_mechnics]

Random is about to say something along the lines of "you don't want to know" when he is interrupted by svKia's questions. "Yeah, them."

"Uhhhh," he says, trying to put his thoughts together. "I don't know much about it, because it was before I came to Earth, but apparently Hoist saved a--what's it called when movies are being put on that black film stuff to put on those screens? . . . Don't remember. Anyway, Hoist helped out on one of those, and then the guy in charge of making the movie wanted to hire him--or something like that. Then some of the more self-centered bots caught wind of it--Tracks, Powerglide, Sunstreaker--I'm surprised Mirage wasn't part of it--but they decided to try to get in the human's movie. He was quite bizarre. He kept changing things up and having them do odd things. He had them wearin' alien masks and walking like, um, Zombies at one point? I think that's what it was. Or those cloth-wrapped guys. One of those. Anyway, and then the Decepticons show up with a doohickey from Wheeljack's lab--that he never got to work as it turns out. So they caused some trouble. Hoist was able to throw off the Decepticons by pretending to be a villain and dumping the thing with two of our human friends into a fake vat of acid or something. . . . So, yeah. That's why we avoid Hollywood where I'm from."

"That sounds like something our Hoist would have done," notes Perceptor. "I may have greater computing ability, but I find that his processor moves much more quickly."

"So the movie we were thinking of isn't the one that the reality the other Kia was from was like?" asks svKia.

[lumina_mechnics]

"Yeah, he tends to do that," Random agrees, thinking on the times he has seen Hoist thinking on his feet.

Random turns to svKia. "Uh, I don't think so. It had um"--Random frowns once again in confusion--"some robot that beeps like Hormah and the little bot with her according to Rosemary."
