[A video feed pops on to a very robotic looking face. Not the same kind of robotic as the natives, but still very not human. Tailgate gives the camera a wave.]

Hey everyone! I realized the other day that this is the first time I've ever lived on my own. It was kind of fun at first, but now that the novelty has worn off, it's actually pretty boring. So I was wondering if anyone wanted to be roommates?

I'm sure a lot of you are thinking "but I've already settled in to the place I found", but I have a list of qualifications that might change your mind.

[He holds up a fingers for each point he makes.]

Firstly, I will never eat your food. Because I literally can't. Second, I won't hog the bathroom. I'm not even sure what it's used for, but I've heard you organics value your time in there.

If just that isn't enough to change your mind, I can also reach high places because I'm very tall. Fourth, I can turn into a car. If you ever need something, I can go get it way faster than you could by just walking. And fifth, I love movies, so we could have lots of movie nights! If... they have movies here. I haven't actually checked come to think of it...

[He pauses for a moment.]

I probably should have started with this but my name's Tailgate, by the way. I don't mind moving in somewhere, but if you want to move in where I'm living now, we, uh, might need new furniture.

[It's not his fault that the sofa and chairs in the living area were not made for the weight of a Cybertronian.]

Anyways, if you're interested in being roommates, let me know!


((OOC: Obviously not everyone can have Tailgate for a roommate as much as they want to, so let me know if you do really want to move in with this disaster. Pretty sure Natasha is going to be one roommate, so that leaves three open slots.))

You make a pretty good sell, dude. My house is full, or I'd be tempted.

What's a car, anyway?

[trashbot]

Well, I'm glad you liked the sales pitch at least. I thought it was pretty good too.

Oh, it's a type of vehicle. Like... did you see the carts they had us moving? Kind of like that, but motorized. I'll show you!

[He fiddles with the tablet to prop it up, stepping back and transforming into a small white and blue car. He wiggles his wheels, rolling back and forth a bit.]

See? This is a car.

[necromanswers]

Whaaaaat?

[She's leaning in to the camera immediately, eyes wide.]

That's pretty sick shit! You don't mind driving people around like that?

[trashbot]

I'm assuming sick shit is a good thing?

[The tone of her voice says impressed, but he has no idea what the phrase means.]

Yeah, I don't mind! As long as you don't mind sitting on my roof and just holding on. I kind of shrunk when I got here.

[necromanswers]

[Something about a mini talking car saying "sick shit" is the funniest thing in the world to her right now.]

Don't mind at all. It'd be like road surfing! Really want to try it, now.

[trashbot]

[Don't let him know that, otherwise he'll probably drive around the whole town yelling it to try and make people laugh.]

It's not like I've got a whole lot going on here, so any time you're free should work for me. Just let me know and I'll find us a good stretch of road that's not too busy.

[necromanswers]

[Well now she definitely wants him to know that, because she would love it.]

Are you kidding? For a joy ride like that I am free immediately.

[trashbot]

Great! Just give me like... 30 minutes to find a place and make sure I don't get any offers on the roommate front. I'll text you after that?

[True to his word, about 30 minutes later, Tailgate texts Lup a random location in the city. It's the least busy street he could find in a fairly short amount of time.]

[Oh hell yeah, she heads right on over in no time at all. He probably stands out a lot more than she does - bitty looking elf not even 5 and 1/2 feet tall - so she'll beeline right for him when she spots him.]
