As usual, my sех scenes take forever to write. 🥴 But chapter 4 isn’t all clanging. There’s also the pillow talk. Sensitive questions like:
"What was Vaporex like?"
And:
"Did you know someone that wore Lux Aeterna?"

The pin-up card game: the game is outlawed so everyone plays anonymously.
Nobody knows who has the infamous medic deck. It doesn't kill anyone, but the player is effectively unkillable. 75% of players quit the moment they recognise the deck.

The question is: do you want it on Sunday or as soon as possible?

Transformers tabletop RPG and needed an OC, so I reached into #BurntRubberSmokeSignals for Aruspex, my Decepticon medic. This is his character intro for the game; a lead up to boarding the Lost Light.

I have never spent so much time on shit like:
What Ratchet knows:
What he doesn’t know:
Possible misunderstandings:
What Deadlock knows:
What he doesn’t:
Oops, he thinks this:
What Prowl/Jazz know:
What they don’t:
Prowl, you’re too smart and give Ratchet too much credit.

Sooner or later when writing a fanfic that covers multiple locations, you need to consult a map.
But with Transformers (and all its interesting geography and cities),
none of the maps make any sense. So you have to draw your own. 😬 #BurntRubberSmokeSignals
