First ficlette mentions gore in a medical/surgical sense, if it bothers you skip to the -.-.-.-
Slices of life.
-.-.-.- = time break (skip forwards or backwards, whenever you think)
Human Medical Stuff
"Primus" Frenzy whispered, staring in shocked horror at the screen in front of him. "They're so... oozy."
Rumble strolled into the room, took one look at the screen, and immediately turned around and walked back out. "I don't even want to know," he shouted at Frenzy.
Frenzy continued to stare in horrified awe at the screen. "Look at that! Ewwww..."
Ravage stalked into the room. "I sensed a disturbing amount of disgust from Rumble. What did you do?"
Frenzy grinned, not taking his optics off the screen he was staring at, "I was curious about how human medics work, so I looked up some surgery videos. Did you know that humans can replace vital organs if they meet certain requirements?"
Ravage stared at the screen, watching blankly as the previously unmoving human heart slowly started to pump, though it looked more like rhythmic seizing, and as blood oozed from various places on the screen. "You're disgusting," she said disbelievingly. "Humans are also disgusting," Frenzy grinned, "how they're causing us so many problems, I have no idea."
Frenzy scoffed, "Considering how pathetic and squishy they are," he gestured at the screen, "they do surprisingly well for themselves."
Ravage scoffed, "If we'd come out of stasis one or two vorns ago you wouldn't be saying that."
The screen froze and Frenzy selected another video, this one a total knee replacement (it looked like there were power tools of some sort on the sterile field, and there was no way that could be boring). "Good thing we came out of it when we did then, this is so gross."

Bayverse Soundwave gets mocked (unknowingly)
Soundwave frowned disapprovingly down at his creations. "Negative."
Ravage's tail twitched, and the twins grinned. "Why no~ot?"
Soundwave frowned harder (they couldn't see it, but the feeling carried across the bod well enough that that fact was irrelevant). "Alt-mode. Adequate. Change. Unnecessary."
Frenzy snickered, "Yeah Boss, because boom-boxes are so commonplace among the squishies nowadays."
Silence answered Frenzy, and the trio all grinned (though Ravage was subtle and terrifying as ever). After several moments of obviously fierce internal debating Soundwave sighed. "Recommendations. Welcome. Suggestion requirements. Stealthy. Reasonable."
Frenzy gasped dramatically and sagged against Rumble, pressing a servo to his chest plate, "Boss! You wound us! As if any suggestions we could make would ever be unreasonable!"
Ravage swatted Frenzy, "Shut up you impudent brat, the innocent act hasn't worked since well before we left Cybertron."
Arms crossed and helm upturned, Frenzy decided to ignore the eldest cassette.
A silent devil swooped into the room. Buzzsaw grinned at everyone from his perch on Soundwave's shoulder cannon. "What about a satellite?"
The trio looked unimpressed, Frenzy immediately protesting, "That's stupid! He'd have to be transported into space by Astrotrain because it'd be more effficient than trying to fly himself into the lower atmosphere, and then he'd just sit there! Sure he'd have access to satellites and stuff, but we have that already! Astrotrain! Also, he wouldn't be able to drive anywhere because he'd be a damn satellite!"
Ravage silently rolled her optics with an internal sigh, as if a boom box were capable of driving either.
Nodding in agreement Rumble glared at the avian cassette, "Not to mention the fact that he'd be all alone up there and at the potential mercy of both Cosmo and Skyfire. Sure Skyfire isn't all that violent, but he's huge! And an Autobot! And what if some other 'Bots show up? We have the space bridge, so any Cybertronian coming to Earth via space is likely going to be an Autobot, and it'd take ages to provide backup from where we are!"
Ravage looked down at the furious duo, "I've never heard you defend our other space-fairing comrades this fiercely."
They scoffed, "Sure they're comrades, but they're not our Boss-Man! What do we care about them so long as their sparks aren't in the Well and they're still functioning on our side?"
"Honestly, Soundwave as a satellite, as if!"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Gold is useless
"I don't get why all these fleshies value gold so much."
Ravage glared at Frenzy from her sprawl on their couch, "Why do you persist in sharing your insipid thoughts with those of use who are trying to relax."
Frenzy squawked, "My thoughts are not insipid! And why would this thought be insipid! Maybe they like it because it's bendy and kinda squishy like they are! Maybe it's because it's shiny and squishies are stupid and have short attention spans and are attracted to shiny things! Ever think about that?" But any and all indignant protests and theoretical questions went ignored.
With a huff Frenzy whirled about and stalked away, utterly bored and more than willing to try alleviating the boredom by getting into useless conversations.
Flames will be laughed at, in the wake of the severity all the BC (Canada) forest fires.
All grammatical mistakes are my own. Apologies in advance.
Terribly sorry for how long this has taken to update, uni tends to stress me out and depress me making it difficult to write anything cheerful.
I ended up writing most of this at work during the summer, as it was the only place that had air conditioning I could type in, and I have another little short in the works.
