KurumiRP (10:43:21 PM):

:: ....yea. ::

KurumiRP (10:43:24 PM):

:: ......kinna ::

pinkbikerbot07 (10:43:46 PM):

::....need me? Or are ya good?::

KurumiRP (10:44:33 PM):

:: ......i dunno if i need ya, but y'probably need me.  c'mon 'n keep me company, 'n tell me what's on yer mind. ::

pinkbikerbot07 (10:45:03 PM):

::.....Uh, okay. You still in the medbay?::

KurumiRP (10:45:56 PM):

:: yeah, i am. ::

pinkbikerbot07 (10:46:20 PM):

..::Okay.:: *she shook her head, then made her way there, edging in the door and shutting it quietly behind her, and coming up to him *

KurumiRP (10:47:07 PM):

*looks at her from the berth, looking a little beat up - but you know, that's to be expected*  how're ya, bubblegum?

pinkbikerbot07 (10:47:48 PM):

*she nodded at him, perching herself on one of the tables * I'm okay. I mean, I guess as good as I can be, considering this mess...*she gestured to the medbay *

KurumiRP (10:48:41 PM):

*nods, smirking a bit*  yeah, 's kinna a mess.

pinkbikerbot07 (10:49:08 PM):

*nods, looking tired* Yeah, just a little bit. How are you holding up?

KurumiRP (10:50:48 PM):

th' convulsin' stopped, so i can't complain.  *frowns at her*  what 'bout you?  yer not lookin' too good.

pinkbikerbot07 (10:51:08 PM):

*she shrugged * I'm just kind of tired. Been a bit busy, you know?

KurumiRP (10:52:37 PM):

not really.  been doin' nothin' but sittin' here.

KurumiRP (10:55:23 PM):

.....y'wanna talk, 'er not?

pinkbikerbot07 (10:55:35 PM):

*she watched him carefully * I don't know.

pinkbikerbot07 (10:55:43 PM):

I'm...messed up right now.

KurumiRP (10:56:42 PM):

yeah, join th' club.  *shifts onto his side, looking at her more directly*  's th' problem?

pinkbikerbot07 (10:57:09 PM):

Me, I guess. *she sighed, then stared at the floor * I guess it's my fault.

KurumiRP (10:57:40 PM):

....what's yer fault?

pinkbikerbot07 (10:58:02 PM):

Everything that's happened to me. *she sniffed, watching her feet swing.*

KurumiRP (10:58:45 PM):

....*sighs* like what?

pinkbikerbot07 (10:59:17 PM):

*she stared over at him * Barricade interfacin' with someone else. *she shrugged.*

KurumiRP (11:00:22 PM):

*blinks - then, mildly*  who was it?

pinkbikerbot07 (11:00:33 PM):

Dead End. *flat *

KurumiRP (11:02:01 PM):

....which -- oh, th' one tha' got slagged up by megatron.

KurumiRP (11:02:14 PM):

*confused*  why him?  's kinna a downer.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:02:17 PM):

I guess.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:02:20 PM):

I don't know.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:02:51 PM):

I guess it was something I did. *shrugs helplessly.*

KurumiRP (11:03:25 PM):

....somehow, I kinna doubt that.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:03:34 PM):

*bitter smile.* Has to be.

KurumiRP (11:04:03 PM):

....not really.  y'know, arcee -- sometimes we jus' do stupid things.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:05:10 PM):

Yeah. I know. But...*she leaned forward, holding her head in her hands.* I didn't...I don't...it's just....

KurumiRP (11:06:07 PM):

*groans a bit as he shoves himself up into a sitting position, putting a hand on her shoulder*  he tell ya, or did ya find out?

pinkbikerbot07 (11:07:07 PM):

He told me. *she stated softly, staring at the floor.* Gotta give him props for that one.

KurumiRP (11:07:37 PM):

*chuckles*  yeah.  still.... he give ya a reason?  anythin' at all?

pinkbikerbot07 (11:10:10 PM):

No...just...that it didn't mean anything. That he'd made a mistake. *her voice was still blank * That he wouldn't do it again.

KurumiRP (11:11:17 PM):

then he ain't gonna do it again.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:11:28 PM):

You think he wont, just cause he said it?

KurumiRP (11:12:57 PM):

i think he won't, 'cos he ain't stupid.  takes a lot fer a 'con - past 'er present - t'just straight up admit he made a mistake.

KurumiRP (11:13:02 PM):

's not exactly somethin' we do.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:14:06 PM):

*she nodded at that, continuing to stare at the floor * Yeah. I guess so. It just...*she glanced over at him * Hurt.

KurumiRP (11:14:31 PM):

.......

pinkbikerbot07 (11:15:10 PM):

*she looked back down at the floor, expressionless * A lot.

KurumiRP (11:15:29 PM):

....what're y'gonna do?

pinkbikerbot07 (11:15:49 PM):

I don't know. I don't know what to do. *looking back up at him, optics dimmed *

KurumiRP (11:16:51 PM):

well... it din' mean anythin' t'him.  slaggit, 's jus' how some 'cons work - talkin' 'bout dead end, here.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:18:33 PM):

I guess...It's...it's just not really...how I work, you know? *her voice cracked slightly * I've done some stupid stuff, I know it, I do...I've done stuff I didn't mean to, and I hid something from him I shouldn't have, but I told him...and he acted like he didn't even care...and...I just...*she gave a choked little laugh * Maybe I need a personal day.

KurumiRP (11:23:22 PM):

....look.  *his grip on her shoulder tightens briefly* he messed up.  'm gonna slag him fer it.  but y'gotta understand - he prob'ly doesn't even realize he's pissin' ya off so much.  'n maybe y'do needa take a break.  *pauses*  but he's done what he's done, 'n he's sorry fer it.  's kinna hard t'really do anythin' else there, bubblegum.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:25:44 PM):

*she blinked at him blankly as he tightened his hold on her shoulder * We talked...I mean...he knew he'd been neglecting me...and...I thought we fixed it, but then...then I find out something like this...and...*she rubbed her face with her free hand * What kind of break?

KurumiRP (11:27:24 PM):

whatever kind y'think y'need.  but nothin' permanent.  'n it doesn't seem like this was somethin' he did 'cos of you.  maybe y'should talk t'dead end, if yer so unsure.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:28:01 PM):

*a level, angry, rage ridden growl was his answer to the last statement *

KurumiRP (11:28:22 PM):

.....correction.  maybe should talk t'dead end 'bout it.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:28:36 PM):

ME talking to him would be.../unwise/.

KurumiRP (11:29:28 PM):

...y'want me t'do that fer ya?

pinkbikerbot07 (11:29:51 PM):

If you want. *she shrugged, leaning back on the table she was sitting on, considering just passing out there.*

KurumiRP (11:31:12 PM):

i wanna make y'feel better.  'm already gonna go slag barricade fer ya... figure one more wouldn't hurt nothin'.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:31:53 PM):

*she laughed softly * You don't have to do that.

KurumiRP (11:32:43 PM):

kinna do, y'bein' my friend 'n all.  's kinna a package deal.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:33:11 PM):

*she snickered at him * You don't have to hurt Barricade. Dead End...kill him for all I care, in fact, it might save me trouble later.

KurumiRP (11:36:17 PM):

i already told barricade that if he hurt ya, i'd break him in two.  can't go back on m'word, now, can i?  'n in either case... yer gonna do somethin' stupid, otherwise.  might as well get a completely informed opinion, first, right?

pinkbikerbot07 (11:36:40 PM):

...

pinkbikerbot07 (11:37:16 PM):

You can...talk to Barricade, if you want. Just...don't hurt him, okay? *she sighed again, pressing a hand to her chest * It hurts deep down, you know?

KurumiRP (11:38:32 PM):

....no, i don't.  's why i'd never bonded.  *frowning a bit*  'm sorry i can't help y'more'n that.....

pinkbikerbot07 (11:41:59 PM):

*she gave a tiny nod * Well, you and 'Cade are big boys. Do what you will, and especially...Dead End...*her face curled into a malicious, hate-filled snarl.* You could always leave him to me.

KurumiRP (11:43:19 PM):

we both know y'd do it in a klick, but.... arcee, y'don't wanna kill him.  's not all his fault here.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:52:16 PM):

Doesn't matter. *She stated, uncaring *

pinkbikerbot07 (11:52:18 PM):

Still want him dead.

KurumiRP (11:52:38 PM):

yeah, 'n i want a lotta things, m'self.

KurumiRP (11:52:45 PM):

doesn't mean yer gonna get it.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:52:53 PM):

Yeah. I know. *grumbles * Still want it.

KurumiRP (11:53:05 PM):

y'should give them both a bit of slack, though.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:53:27 PM):

Why? It's my fault? I can't even blame Barricade.

KurumiRP (11:53:43 PM):

it's not yer  fault.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:54:20 PM):

*she sighed, then shrugged * I dunno. Feels like it is. Like I didn't do enough.

KurumiRP (11:54:55 PM):

y'did plenty.  maybe he jus'.... slaggit, iunno.  never really talked with th' stunticons 'er anyone like 'em.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:55:23 PM):

*headshake * ME either.

KurumiRP (11:55:36 PM):

's not like he's gonna do it again.

pinkbikerbot07 (11:55:50 PM):

Maybe.

KurumiRP (11:56:09 PM):

*frowns* what makes y'think he's gonna do it again?

pinkbikerbot07 (11:56:31 PM):

*she shrugged * Call it a hunch? It seems to happen a lot around here.

KurumiRP (11:56:46 PM):

....

KurumiRP (11:56:59 PM):

yeah.  it does....

pinkbikerbot07 (11:57:40 PM):

It'll only be a matter of time, really.

KurumiRP (11:58:01 PM):

if y'think like that, what was th' point of bondin' at all?

pinkbikerbot07 (11:58:30 PM):

I dunno. *blank.* Maybe it was a mistake.

KurumiRP (11:59:36 PM):

......yer honestly talkin' t'the wrong mech 'bout whether or not bondin' is a mistake 'er not.  'm kinna biased.

pinkbikerbot07 (12:01:24 AM):

Yeah, I know you are, buddy.

KurumiRP (12:03:23 AM):

jus'...  don't go off doin' stupid things without makin' sure yer sure  what yer doin' is right.

pinkbikerbot07 (12:04:28 AM):

I...I'll try not to...

KurumiRP (12:05:36 AM):

*squeezes her shoulder again*  don't try  not to.  y'told me t'keep y'from doin' anythin' stupid - 'n that's what 'm gonna do.  lemme talk t'the stunticon, 'n y'can go from there, alright?

pinkbikerbot07 (12:06:26 AM):

You can do whatever you want to, talk to whoever you want to, you're a big mech. *she sighed * And I wont do anything stupid. *somewhere, deep down, she wanted him to talk to Barricade *

KurumiRP (12:07:29 AM):

*don't worry, he will.*   'll do whatever i needa t'make things better fer ya, bubblegum.  much as i hate t'say it, yer my friend.  kinna have t'look out fer ya.

pinkbikerbot07 (12:07:50 AM):

*a small smile spread across her face at that * Thanks, Crusher...

KurumiRP (12:09:58 AM):

's not a problem, darlin'.

pinkbikerbot07 (12:10:53 AM):

*she smirked slightly, gave him a one armed hug, then stood to leave * Well, thanks for listening, at any rate.

KurumiRP (12:11:27 AM):

*shrugs the best he can, smirking right back at her*  what else am i gonna do 'round here?

pinkbikerbot07 (12:12:08 AM):

*she shook her head as she headed out * I dunno, there's nothing normal about this place, I got nothin.

KurumiRP (12:12:42 AM):

exactly.  *he rolls back onto his back and tilts his head*  nothin' t'do but bitch 'n worry.

pinkbikerbot07 (12:15:21 AM):

*she snickered, pausing in the door way * Try to keep yourself outta trouble. And thanks again...

KurumiRP (12:15:47 AM):

's th' trouble that finds me.  'n 'm always around t'listen.

pinkbikerbot07 (12:16:21 AM):

*she smiled * Yeah. At any rate, I'll probably catch you tomorrow. I've got to get some rest...*and comm Barricade and ask him a few questions.*
