[This orange robot looks nervous. More nervous that usual that is. He keeps glancing around as if something might jump out and grab him at any second.]

So... I was thinking... Does anybody want to have a sleepunder? Wait... sleepover? Um, that thing where you stay at somebody else's house all night so you're not alone.

[He crosses his arms defensively, despite nobody actually accusing him of anything. Yet.]

And this has absolutely nothing to do with all the flickering lights and creepy graffiti that's been showing up lately! I just want to make that clear.

[Blades is s terrible liar. He quickly returns to his worried demeanor, tapping his fingertips together.]

Sleep-thingy, anyone?

Yeah, I guess so.

I'm Fulcrum. I... don't really know where I should be staying.

[He chuckles.]

Nah, not me. But I've been keeping an eye on it and making notes. Kinda curious what this is all about.

Re: VIDEO;

[swivelrotors]

Didn't you get an apartment when you arrived?

[Blades waves his hands at Fulcrum in denial.]

Oh, no, no, I wasn't suspecting you or anything. Just saying. In case they're listening.

[He glances around nervously.]

[forcowardice]

I did, but... well, it's a long story. You don't need to worry about it.

[He laughs quietly.]

Okay, okay. I get you. I think you'll be okay, though, Blades.

Still want me to swing over?

[swivelrotors]

[Have some enthusiastic nodding! If anything, he's more nervous than ever!]

[forcowardice]

Okay, okay! I'll be right there.

Re: VIDEO;

[swivelrotors]

I'll just be... here.

[Hiding under a blanket behind the couch.]

ACTION???

[forcowardice]

[Knock knock?]

[swivelrotors]

[There's a long pause before the door finally opens a crack and an orange optic peeks out.]

Fulcrum?

[If it's not, he's slamming the door and not coming out until morning!]

ugh sorry for enormous lateness!

[forcowardice]

Yeah, that's me! Blades?

Re: ugh sorry for enormous lateness!

[swivelrotors]

Yes, that's me!

[He hurriedly opens the door wider so he can usher Fulcrum in.]

[forcowardice]

Hey! How are ya?

[Fulcrum steps inside.]

[swivelrotors]

[Shuts the door and locks it immediately.]

Still pretty nervous, but at least now I have company!

[Share his nervousness, Fulcrum. Share iiiit.]

[forcowardice]

[It's contagious! But he's trying not to let it get to him.]

Well, with company, you're just gonna be safer, right? C'mon, let's sit down and try to focus on something else.

[swivelrotors]

Safety in numbers!

[Blades taps a fist into his palm, then heads for the couch]

Oh, by the way! Rewind said he'd be coming over so we can watch movies. Do you know Rewind?

[forcowardice]

Oh. Um. Vaguely; we've never really been introduced but I saw him at... an event.

[Specifically, Chromedome's funeral, but now's not a good time to talk about that.]

[swivelrotors]

[Is that a hint of awkwardness Blades detects? He is quick to reassure!]

Don't worry! Rewind is super-nice. Plus he has movies.

[Fulcrum, you must understand just how important movies are in this place that seems to lack telelvision.]

[forcowardice]

Well. If you say so.

[swivelrotors]

I do say so!

[Blades knows best!]

So, um. Hi!
