[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.))

It can be a pain sometimes! We need a lot more maintenance than you probably do to stay healthy.

It's not all bad either, though! Sometimes it can be nice and relaxing; soaking in a hot bath can be a good way to help if you're stressed out or sore.

A bath? I heard about the oil baths on Cybertron back before the war, but I didn't know humans did stuff like that too.

[twistedempathy]

Mmhmm~ I bet a good oil bath really helps you loosen up, right? Baths help us when we're tense or stiff, too--we just use hot water, not oil.

[trashbot]

I've never had the chance to try one. A lot of that kind of stuff ended when the war started, I guess.

Oh, got it, water. That makes more sense.

[twistedempathy]

Awww..... Maybe the locals have that sort of thing around here? If it's good for Cybertronians, I bet it's good for them, too! You may as well pamper yourself a little if you have the chance to.

[trashbot]

That's a good point. It couldn't hurt to ask if they have something like that around.

[twistedempathy]

Hehe~ I bet they've got an entire industry around that sort of thing!

[trashbot]

I wouldn't be surprised. I've seen repair shops around, so the natives here still have to do some maintenance work, I think. An oil bath could count as maintenance.

[twistedempathy]

You'll have to let us know how the amenities are! I bet they'll understand how to take care of you a lot better than they know how to take care of us.

[trashbot]

I'll for sure let you know!

[Never mind the fact that a hot oil bath probably wouldn't be good for an organic. He'll still let Will know.]
