@raysmayday Answering in a post cuz I realized my ramble was way too long in a comment :"]

:D! For me they still fall under "if I see another mech ill slit them open and wear them like a coat"

I think drone alt modes would be overall solitary but specifically to their own alt. As its very rare to see a drone and expect another to pop out but I wouldnt be shocked to see one near another flying vehicle like in military air strikes.

I think they would only been seen together if they are conjux and that they would form one big flock for very specific cultural stuff (drone shows)

Honestly I think they remind me of albatros, they spend years all alone but group up under special situations.

I also think with the context of drones being most commonly remote controlled amd the term 'vehicon drone' existing i think that drone shows could also be a result of functionalism. Where one bot controls/own a group of drone alt bots for entertainment/delivery/air fights, on the same hand remote control can also be interpreted as a very close bond with a non flight frame that helps coordinate from the ground. Like their air shows not being inherently bad for drones, just a bit over taken by old laws.

All of Episode 2, Falling Star, below.

i also need bee to piece it together and tease the FRAG out of op who gets REALLY blushy abt it

Part 9

As a child, even just when people joke about you lying/exaggerating your troubles, it teaches you to handle it on your own unless it's absolutely trivial. However, due to massive trauma that idea of trivial quickly changes, so i do think it'd be funny for Bonnie to casually mention the loop during their friend quest and say: "oh don't worry you've taught me a ton over all these loops don't worry about the basics!"

Siffrin: "....what"

— "Oh... he thinks i'm Cis"

Damian: Grayson, why does Pennyworth leave food on the counter every night?

Dick, on his phone, not even paying attention: Oh, that's for Jason.

Damian: For 'Jason'?

Dick: Yeah. Sometimes he sneaks into the kitchen at night, so Alfred started leaving food out for him.

Damian, confused: I've never seen anyone here.

Dick: Well he doesn't always come. And last time, Bruce caught him crawling through the window and scared him away so, who knows when he'll show up again.

Damian, definitely thinking of a raccoon: So then Pennyworth is feeding a random stray that crawled out of God knows where?

Dick, annoyed: He's not a 'random stray', Damian, he's family, and he has been living in this house for way longer than you have.

Damian, trying to remember how long do raccoons live for:

Damian: I hope he doesn't die soon.

Dick: ????!!

*Later that night in the Bat-cave*

Tim, typing away in the computer:

Damian: Drake. Have you ever met Jason?

Tim: Uh. Stupid, annoying and looks like a skunk? Yes, why?

Damian, picturing a mix between a racoon and a skunk:

Damian: Is he friendly?

Tim: Well, the first time I met him, he attacked me, so...

Damian: Hmm... What did you do to provoke him?

Tim: What did I do to– Bitch–

Tim: Nothing! He just didn't like me taking 'what was his', or something.

Damian, nodding: You invaded his territory.

*The next day*

Damian: Father, when do you think Jason will visit again? I want to meet him.

Bruce: Um. I don't know, Damian. He doesn't come here often.

Damian: Why?

Bruce: Because he lives somewhere else.

Damian: Why doesn't he just live here with us instead? He would be safer.

Bruce, wincing: I don't think he would like that, Damian. He's not confortable here.

Damian: But, maybe if I befriend him I could convince him to stay.

Bruce, sighing: I don't think so, Damian. You have to respect his space.

Damian: Oh...

Damian: I hope he doesn't get rabies
