"I still can't believe I cracked a rum bottle on that dick head's. . .well. . .head, but hey, they was plenty more!!!!!!!!!!" she said with a chuckle, opening her rum and taking another drink. She looked over to Lance then, rubbing his shoulder a bit "It's a'right bro, we all get 'em, hell, ya know I do sometimes mahself." She said moving to stand, and swaying a bit, causing her to kinda tumble right into Lance's lap before she just busted out laughing "Well, good news is! While me and gravity may be at odds this evening, I did not hit the floor!" she said before looking to Swindle with a somewhat wicked smirk "But ya really wanna know Swindle? Careful, I could prolly give ya nightmares." she warned, if he wanted to know, she'd tell him, in detail of the things her mind cooked up, things she normally kept well buried.

Sven put his hands up in front of himself defensively, though it was easy to tell it was in a joking manner. "Hey, I don't necessarily need to know seeing as how I haven't pissed her off, at least I don't think I have. If I have by all means tell me now and I'll take my leave, I know when I'm beat." He then dropped his arms, slipping them casually into his pants pockets. "Besides, I've heard plenty of stories of all the terrible things one can do to a mech from my sadist brother. I'm pretty sure if the two of us were not gestalt bound I'd have been subjected to a good number of them by now crazy whirly-gig that he is. Here's some advice for you, Firelaunch, stay away from Vortex when he's bored or in a bad mood, mechs have been know to go missing. In fact, stay away from him in general if you can."

Lance grunted as Vic landed in his lap,"You and gravity are not agreeing Vic." He said shaking his head, but couldn't help laughing a bit. "Swindle I'm not afraid of Vortex, that insane heli-bot of a brother of your's is well crazy but not scared to take him on, if needed." He said though doubted he'd be moving any time soon. "And yea with Vic...you really should be careful what you say nearly got my aft pounced if I hadn't shut it." He said rubbing the back of his neck though guessed he was digging his own grave just then.

"Hey, what can I say? I'm hones', blunt an' to tha point, neva claimed to be anything but." she said chuckling just slightly for a moment "Yea, gravity and inebriation kinda dun have the best relationship, but fuck it, I ain't in that normal hellish pain I gotta put up with daily, my old injuries ain't makin' me wish everything would just go numb. I don't drink to the point of getting truely drunk often, but when I do, well, I try an' enjoy it. I ain't been fightin' near long as ya'll, but hones'ly, I been fightin' all mah life with a different kinda war, that of survival. Worse yet, my greatest enemy is one who played inta my very creation, so much fer havin' a fuckin' father, goddamned, no good piecea shit child unable to control 'is goddamned temper and takin' it out on me because I was smalla at the time. Wish I could get my hands on 'im now, show 'im jus' what kinda monster I can be, what he created. He think's 'e's somethin', heh, fuckin' dick ain't seen nothing yet, I will find a way ta make 'im reap what he's sewn, and then wait for him to beg for mercy, only ta let 'im discover that, cause what he's done, I ain't capable of mercy. . . ." she then paused, sighing. He gaze lowered then, her body relaxing a bit more as she shook her head slightly. "My apologies, some memories are harder to let go of than others, an' I'm prone to rantin' when I'm drinkin'. . .anyways. . ." she said lifting her gaze once more before looking to Lance and then Sven, before looking back at her bro "Ya two ain't gotta keep up the human disguise with me, I know it takes a bita extra energy to keep ya'll's false skin in place, ya can go down to nanoforms if ya'll want, dun bug me any. 'Ell, it's closea to who ya'll really are anyways. . ." she said, taking another drink from her bottle before shifting a bit in Lance's lap, an arm resting around his shoulders as she set her head on his shoulder, mostly wanting a hug but far too proud to simply ask for one.

Sven simply shrugged at the apology. "I've got a few memories like that myself so I'm not about to blame you for it. Didn't really know my parents myself but considering why that is I doubt I would have been very happy to anyway." He sighed slightly, it wasn't often he talked about his past. In fact, he was pretty sure even his own gestalt mates didn't know much about it. But somehow he felt safe bringing it up now, even if it was only vague tidbits at this point. He smirked slightly at Vic's suggestion to cut the human disguise. Well she did seem comfortable enough with them for it. He did so, catching the bottle of rum he had stashed in his trench coat in mid air before it fell no longer being supported when the coat vanished and held it out to the redhead. "By the way, I got this for you."

Lance watched his sister but also looked at Swindle, seemed all three had something in common of a rough past though he had known his parents for a good bit before they were killed,"Heh my parents met a fate meant for those who apparently did something forbidden." He said shaking his head and glanced at Swindle before hugging Vic having a guess that was what she wanted. Sighing the double agent let the projection flicker before returning to his nap oriel blinking his optics a few times to focus. "Have to admit it's hell of lot better to use our nanoform then a disguise but oh well." He said just relaxing against the sofa.

Vic simply nodded, rest against Lance. She took another drink of her rum before chuckling at how Swindle just caught the bottle "Damn Swindle, if I didn't know any betta I'd think that bottle just dropped outta ya ass or something. Ya know, the whole angle and perspective thing." she said, motioning to the nightstand "Ya can jus' put it on the stand, an have a fuckin' seat for goodness sakes man, ya makein' me nervious jus' standin' round like that." she said, returning the hug to Firelaunch's nanoform and simply resting there for a moment, looking up at her bro "Anata wa, futatabi ani no kazoku o ushinau koto o shinpai suru hitsuyō wa arimasen. Sono itami, kesshite futatabi." she said to Firelaunch, forsaking English for a moment, she actually did speak clearer in Japanese anyways, though it didn't fully occur to her Swindle could likely understand her as well.
((Translation of Japanese: "You don't need to worry about losing family again brother. That pain, never again." ))

Swindle looked at Firelaunch slightly curious. "Sounds interesting, but I won't pry. I imagine it's not something you like to think about let alone discuss." He chuckled a bit at her comment. Having been quite thoroughly drunk himself on plenty of occasions he could see how it might appear that way to someone who had taken in as much as she had. He went over an placed the bottle on the indicated nightstand and pulled a chair over, plopping into it and relaxing a bit. He knew it was a risk letting his guard down, he had learned that a long time ago and his brothers only served to enforce that a lot of the time. It had become a game of sorts in many cases, if one of them let their guard down too much, even in a supposedly safe environment, another would do something to them to remind them just how bad of a mistake that could have been. It was never anything too serious, pranks more or less, but it got the point across. Swindle and Vortex were known to go at each other the most with it, often being a bit more elaborate as though each was constantly trying to outdo the other. But doing so had essentially trained him into a sense of never being able to truly relax, which everyone needed from time to time. As much of a mistake as it may be he did need to relax, if only for a little while. He was a bit surprised when Vic began speaking in Japanese but he had gone to the trouble to learn most of the Earth languages that were in somewhat common use. Only two weeks had they known each other and they were already so close. At least he knew that Firelaunch would be there for her, though there was another possible complication. If Firelaunch was missing for just a bit too long it would raise questions, and possibly a small group being sent out to find him to ensure he wasn't a traitor. If they found him, they'd find her as well. Granted they should have some time before they had to worry about that but eventually it would come down to a choice: stay with Vic and risk being sought out or report back and risk leaving her alone.

"Short version Swindle-Dad was a Bot, my mom a con and they were bonded. Simple as that." Firelaunch said a bit flatly, never understanding the reason for a Autobot and Decepticon being unable to be together. If just wasn't right. Looking at Vic he took a moment to process the translation and he could only give her a slight nod and hugged her tightly for a moment,"I know sis." He said before releasing the tight embrace yet he knew in a way he couldn't become that attached, not like he would want to.
There would always be that side of him that was afraid to make a close bond, regardless if it be an adoptive one or a actually spark-bonding. The loss of two, one after the other had left it's mark but there was also the fact of him snooping around the Decepticons. They were suspicious, watching members closely and he very well knew they'd come for him soon enough if he was missing for far too long. Thus why he only stuck around a few days or weeks at a time. Now with being already so close to Vic it would be even more complicated.{"Primus what have I done."} He thought as he closed his optics.

Vic tilted her head slightly, looking at Firelaunch "Something is amiss and you are trying to hide it." she said rather certain of it, and rather bluntly. She would have to inquire what was worrying him later. However, for now she simply set her booze aside and shifted to sit on the arm of the chair that Firelaunch's nanoform was on. The redhead was a good bit goofy compared to normally but alcohol could do that. "We may needa talk tomorrow bro, an' ya know I'll remember." she told Firelaunch, she just wanted to make sure he would be OK at the least, but, something was weighing on him, she could tell that.

Swindle nodded at Firelaunch's explanation, looking down a bit. "I see... Sorry to hear that. I had heard there were a few cases of that happening, can't recall hearing of any that ended well though..." He shook his head a bit. It was an unfortunate circumstance, and just plain wrong on top of it. When two sparks called for one another there was no power in the universe that could stop it. There were only two choices at that point, join the sparks together or die a slow and maddening death. But joining sparks with someone on the opposing side caused quite a few complications and in most cases it was resolved in only one way.

Firelaunch looked between them but nodded,"I know sis but come on you two had a lot to drink and we're just relaxing. Don't worry about the past and a bad mood right now huh?" He said managing a smile. He moved over a bit to let Vic sit more on the arm and for now decided to push away the depressing mood for the time being, thinking best to wait for another time. "Though try not to let gravity get to you this time Vic." He added jokingly.

"I won't, don't worry 'Launch." she said getting herself stable on the arm chair. She stayed quite for a moment then, looking like she was thinking and completely calm. She looked over at Swindle a moment, smirking a bit before looking a Firelaunch's nanoform "I have discovered a very pressing problem that needs to be remedied in the very, very near future." she said, completely serious sounding despite her grin. She had realized something alright, she had realized she was hungry, thus the next words from her mouth, not near as calm and more hyper than she had shown to be all night. "I want tacos!" she said, being silly and raising a fist like it was some kind of triumph. Yeeea, she was drunk, very drunk. "I wannanother drink firs' though." she said moving to lean down to grab her rum, thus rolling, oddly somewhat gracefully, off the arm of the chair in the process and through some for of drunken luck ending up sitting crossleged on the floor before opening her rum and taking a swig. She then lookeda at the nanoforms. "OK, NOW I want tacos."

Swindle laughed a bit at Vic's antics. "Tacos huh? Well seeing as how I doubt you've got any just lying around here I'm guessing that means we're going back out. Good news is I know a place not to far from here. Authentic Mexican restaurant open all hours to service travelers and the like, small place and it never gets too crowded." He had to admit that was a bit of a stroke of luck. He knew the place because he'd met for business there before. That was a smart client he had to admit. A bar still had a decent chance of cops walking in just to check and make sure everything was in order. A small Mexican restaurant, not so much.

Watching Vic Firelaunch couldn't help but laugh at her out burst for tacos, she really was funny when drunk like this. Though he glanced at Swindle then at Vic and shrugged,"You two can go ahead I'll stay around here. Besides two is company, three's a crowd might as well enjoy the evening while you can." He said leaning against the arm of the sofa though he had a distinct feeling he wasn't getting out of this one or someone was literally going to drag him right out kicking and screaming if they had to.
