Greetings my fellow Cybertronians, organics, and all those inbetween! But mostly Cybertronians, as this message is directed at them.

[Wing's smile is as bright as the sun itself. He beams out at the network, radiating his joy for all living things before he continues on.]

I am aware that touching one another is something that a lot of you are reluctant to do, so I have come up with a solution! How do you feel about scheduled contact sessions? The last thing we need is for one of our own to get sick because of a lack of contact! I believe if we work together, we can ensure that we all get the contact we require!

[He came dangerously close to calling them "snuggle meetings" but has the strangest feeling that no one would go for that. How odd.]

Organics are invited too of course! Anything to improve our relationship between us and you!

Please, feel free to tell me what you think.

That isn't a half-bad idea for people who need it.

[knightunbraided]

I was hoping to encourage those reluctant to physically socialize with others to join.

Do you know anyone like that? I have the feeling that there are quite a few.

TEXT;

[thehardway]

I'm sure that there are a few I could think of.
Perhaps they will message you privately.

[stubbornandfrustrating]

Good idea.

[He looks deeply skeptical, despite the apparent encouragement.]

Making us touch each other is still stupid, but getting sick by refusing to do it is even worse. Let me know if you need help organizing.

[knightunbraided]

[Wing just assumes that "deeply skeptical" is Ratchet's default state of existence. Perhaps it's because of this that his cheeriness goes up a few notches.]

I would be honoured if you would aid me in this Ratchet. Does that mean that you will be a part of this as well? Drift will be pleased!

[stubbornandfrustrating]

No, it doesn't mean I'll be attending. I get enough contact just doing my job. [Mostly. Sometimes.] But it might be necessary for others, and I don't want to have to sit and hold somebody's damn hand as a medical treatment.

[toughtalk]

[She looks like she just stepped on a really gross bug.]

I'm going to get sick whether we touch or not.

[Good morning to you too, sunshine!]

[Video]

[knightunbraided]

What can I say? My good feelings are obviously contagious.

[And he'll up his obnoxious cheeriness just for you too Chromia.]

[Video]

[toughtalk]

[NO THAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT SHE WANTED.]

Better idea. You go find someone to cuddle and we'll be just fine without you.

[triggerhappycopter]

[He's been debating hissing at this one. He's still not sure, so Wing gets a somewhat confused sounding noise that might have vaguely been a hiss.]

AUDIO;

[knightunbraided]

[Wing doesn't really know what to make of that.

So he makes a similiar noise back. Maybe it's trying to communicate with him?]

AUDIO;

[triggerhappycopter]

[Offended sounding hiss. And then a rather quizzical noise?]

[butwonderful]

Wow what a great idea, Wing. You're always full of those. Ideas. Good ones. Where do I sign up?

[video]

[knightunbraided]

I try.

[But Drift's compliment seems to squeeze out even more of Wing's reserve of upbeat cheerfulness. Needless to say, being here makes him happy. Having his idea being semi-well-received also makes him happy.]

Consider yourself signed up now!

[video]

[butwonderful]

Can I maybe get a trial run with you? Perhaps a bit of a spar-and-then-some.

[ He's not even pretending he doesn't want some Wing cuddles. He's been chomping at the bit for it since Wing arrived. ]

[misfier]

[ Oh no, he's hot. He's a hot jet. Hello. ]

Siiiiiiiiiiiiign me right up, pal.

[video]

[knightunbraided]

[That's promising! Wing nods enthusiastically, being both delighted that someone is volunteering, and that he's meeting someone new.]

I promise you won't regret it.

My name is Wing. I don't believe we've met?

[video]

[misfier]

I doubt I will.

[ Oh right. ]

I'm nobody sexy. IMPORTANT. Nobody important. Except when I am hello I am Misfire you were probably looking for a name haha wow would you look at my internal chronometer I should go... o-or don't. Because it's internal. Unless you wanted to see it. But you know haha I don't- not on the first date... haha. I mean not that we're...

You know what? I'm going to stop saying words. Goodbye.

[ Click. ]

[arnhaid]

... Y'know just shakin' hands counts as touchin' right?

Bots here are that against it all they won't shake a hand now and then?

audio;

[knightunbraided]

Why settle for half-measures?

This way we can improve our relationships with each other AND any organics participating. There's more than one reason to do this.

audio;

[arnhaid]

Because... I kinda get the feelin' the organics are gonna be a little happier with a handshake than a hug from one of us.

On account of them bein' squishier and all.

[forcowardice]

Wing, hey!

This sounds like a pretty good idea. I hope it works out.

VIDEO;

[knightunbraided]

I do too!

Will you be taking part Fulcrum? Your friend seems quite keen on it.

[video]

[alley_kit]

I think that's a great idea! I'm totally willing to give hugs if anybody needs them.

[Because who doesn't love kitty snuggles? No one, that's who.]

[video]

[knightunbraided]

That's great! Any and all organics are more than welcome!

Thank you for offering kind madam.
