Spike hefted the box he was carrying in his arms before glancing over at Carly, noting that the box she was carrying was smaller. He sighed and looked as put upon as he could manage while wearing a skeleton mask.
Carly just shook her head and ignored him. This was important work, after all. They'd taken it upon themselves to teach the Autobots all about Earth traditions and she took Halloween very seriously.
"So, we've decorated the lounge, the main conference room, the Medbay waiting room, and the command center. What does that leave?" she asked Spike.
"The labs, I think. But Wheeljack said to stay away from his lab. He doesn't want anything flammable in there. That would leave Perceptor's lab."
Carly nodded and turned right towards Perceptor's area instead of left towards Wheeljack's lab.
She peered into the room. At first it appeared empty but when she entered she spied Perceptor gazing raptly at a computer monitor. At least, that's what it looked like. When she finally got close enough to ask him if they could decorate she saw that his optics were shuttered.
She grinned at Spike as she put her box down and decided, after looking around at all the unfinished experiments in the room, that it would be a good idea to get permission from the red and teal Autobot to decorate the room.
She climbed up onto the chair next to him and was ready to call out his name but stopped when a tiny movement caught her eye. Leaning closer she stared at Perceptor's nose and then called down to Spike.
He joined her and she pointed. They stared as a spider skittered down his nose and launched itself into the air, web spinning out behind it. It dropped into the microscope's lap before climbing back up, ready to build another anchor.
