Title: Life as a Technorganic

Summary: Riella's guidelines for living as a technorganic.

Rating: T for safety.

Disclaimer: I only own Riella. Tai belongs to Tatyana Witwicky, and rule 138 was her idea. Thank you so much, Tatyana!My brother gets credit for inspiring the Metroid-related rules.

Once again, nice list, Prowl! Although, Rule 34, Tai gets away with it because she does it out of love! (Or so she says...)

131. At parties, always consider the audience carefully before choosing something to play.

-Simmons actually thought "Party in the CIA" was funny. Galloway, however, did not. I'm not even sure why he was invited...

132. Once again, please don't quote movies randomly.

-"I like you temporarily!" (A favorite of anyone to Simmons)

-"I can smell you!" (Sideswipe to Ratchet. He has a dent on his forehead.)

-"Do we have to get a news flash every time your body does something?" (me to Leo)

-"I LIKE IKE!" (I think I already explained this one...)

-"It's not the years, it's the mileage." (Ratchet to the Corvette Twins, responding to the usual "old 'bot" taunts)

-"Well, the way you're sinking your teeth into those wubble-yous, I'd say...Eastern Ukraine." (Jazz, on the location of the Decepticon signal)

-"Hi, Jonesie!" (Sides and Sunny love Indiana Jones)

-"I know it's hard for you, but please stay here, and try not to do anything...stupid." (Shockingly, Prowl to Epps. Epps laughed.)

-*sing-song voice* "I've got a jar of dirt, and guess what's inside it?" (The Chevy Twins...over and over and over and over...)

-"Don't count on it, slimeball." (Jazz to a random Decepticon)

-"You're the devil." (Lennox to Wheeljack after an explosion)

-"The North American red squirrel is a native of Venezuela. Its interests include good books, long walks..." (Sides and Tai making fun of Perceptor)

-"You! You are vile vermin!" (me to Starscream, who looked rather disturbed)

-"Ooh! Gotta go wee-wee!" (Leo and Miles are disgusting.)

-"I don't think he has a "cute" anything." (Sunny about Galloway)

-"Perhaps we could throw him back?" (Lennox's response)

-"I've got it, I've got it. Don't worry." (Oh, I'm worried, Skids.)

-"That is the most immaculate hat in the entire army, General Morshower." (He just stared at Optimus...)

133. Update to the banned list:

-Chalk (unless Annabelle is on base)

-Play-Doh (again, only Annabelle can have it)

-Those electronic buzzers that they use in some restaurants (Red fritzed when Sunny left one in his office and activated it.)

134. Never let Prowl have high-grade. Even small amounts make him act weird.

-Completely overcharged Prowl is insane Prowl. I believe I mentioned what happened that one time...

-Partially overcharged Prowl...well, let's just say he's quite the cuddler, and I'm not that big on 'public displays of affection'.

135. No wrench-throwing contests.

-Ratchet wins.

136. Don't play the song "Sweet Little Bumblebee" around Bee.

-He liked it a bit too much...it's still stuck in my head!

137. Dance contests are a bad idea.

-Ultra Magnus caused an earthquake.

138. Don't get alarmed when Tai snorts when she's laughing.

-It just means she forgot to breathe. Although, it scared First Aid into glitching.

139. Running through the base screaming "RATS!" is not encouraged.

-Ratchet prescribed therapy for Miles.

140. Prowl has threatened to ban the Mission Impossible theme song from the base if he hears anyone humming it.

-It's really catchy!

141. Do NOT play the Magmoor Caverns theme from Metroid Prime over and over and over again in the medbay.

-I like the song. Ratchet doesn't.

142. On the subject of Metroid, never call Chromia "Dark Samus".

-If you value your life.

143. Also, do not announce "Samus Aran, intergalactic bounty hunter!" when I walk into a room.

-I'm looking at you, Twins! It isn't funny anymore. Yes, I might look a bit like her, but what have I said about comparisons?

145. Don't play the song "I Don't Dance" when Prowl walks into a room.

-He can dance, he just doesn't want to.

146. Guitar battles are now forbidden on base.

-Turns out guitars are formidable weapons.

147. Never say "Oops, I think I just ate mouse poison!" within Ratchet's hearing range.

-That was the most awkward examination ever. Prowl was not sympathetic.

148. "Super Smash Brothers Brawl" should NEVER be reenacted.

-'Nuff said.

149. When the Decepticons attack, never say any of the following:

-CRAPOLA! *at full volume capacity* (Sunny and Sides love that word)

-Oh man, now where'd I put the guns? Don't tell me they were in the building that just blew up! (Very funny, Jazz.)

-Uh, this is bad, right? (Yes, Bluestreak.)

-Okay, so this is where you panic and run. (Arcee and me, to any humans)

-AHAHAHAHAHA! (Ironhide's evil laugh is very, very scary...)

-On three, everybody scream! (Epps)

-Puny hyoo-mans run! Dinobots STOMP! (Guess who)

150. If you are a mech or human male, don't question why a femme or human female does something.

-We don't always need a reason to do things, and that's just fine.
