JazzBabySays (5:47:06 PM):

-had been in recovery from that wretched trip, resting on and off the last couple of days and at least changed out of his armor, it disappearing as randomly and suddenly as it had come. now he's somewhere on the roof of the Nemesis, don't ask me how, I just know he can get in there so I guess he magically discovered a path up there-

crush all humanz (5:50:06 PM):

*Bonecrusher is currently thinking we need to get Blackout a cell phone, because he keeps wandering off at all the weirdest times :\  But thankfully he can see him up there!  Amazingly.  Though he's debating on whether or not he should pop his holo up there (not like HE can get up there HIMSELF).  THROWING CAUTION TO THE WIND, his holo materializes a few yards ahead of Blackout, arms crossed and watching him idly*

JazzBabySays (5:56:38 PM):

-as if he would bother to keep the slagging thing turned on, you might as well just tag him, though the Matrix help you should you try. up there he's sitting with one leg stretched out and the other up, his arms wrapped loosely around the latter, and his eyes resting closed. he was enjoying the height advantage and feel of the wind from up here- What is it, Bonecrusher? -amazing, without even opening his eyes he had somehow sensed the other!-

crush all humanz (5:59:12 PM):

*you know what, we'll just ignore the creepy sixth sense for now*  .....I don't know.  *he paces forward a bit, crouching down just before the other's foot*  Are you feeling less like an obnoxious glitch tonight?  *and amazingly, that's said sincerely!  not even snide.*

JazzBabySays (6:01:49 PM):

...well, I was, until you opened your big fat mouth. -sighs, letting himself collapse onto his back, hands falling limply to his sides as he finally looks to the sky-

crush all humanz (6:03:54 PM):

So that's a no.  *keeps his position, frowning a bit*  I thought we went over this whole "I do stupid things, but you're going to stick with me anyways" talk already?  Or are we on a new talk and I just don't know it?

JazzBabySays (6:11:15 PM):

-frowns slightly, not looking at Bonecrusher as he speaks- It is not clear to me, the case could be both for all I know.

crush all humanz (6:13:41 PM):

*sighs a bit, shifting but keeping in the crouch*  Alright, then.  Maybe you can start by tellin' me why yer so annoyed with me?  Because I was tryin' really hard t'help you have a good time since I knew you didn't want t'be there, and yet somehow I still screwed up.  I'd like clarification, for later attempts.  *a bit sour*

JazzBabySays (6:31:14 PM):

-scowls- Must we have this conversation right this second? I was attempting to enjoy my day.

crush all humanz (6:32:11 PM):

*growls lowly, then stands*  .....Fine.  Don't talk to me.  See what happens when you keep pushin' at me.

JazzBabySays (6:39:40 PM):

Oh, but Bonecrusher, pushing you would involve shoving you over that edge there. -states rather idly, his eyes deceptively closed, merely narrowed down to the thinnest slits. oh yeah, he's watching him, since he may or may not be starting a fight-

crush all humanz (6:41:40 PM):

*snarls, stepping forward just enough to push his foot down on the other's stomach, hard.*  I want to hurt you, Blackout.  *hisses* Don't push me.

JazzBabySays (7:35:01 PM):

Then what is holding you back? -his voice is calm, like the world before a storm hits, the clouds rumbling in the distance with the threat of its chaotic arrival. in a marvelous show of agility he snaps his leg up and under Bonecrusher's, smacking the other's holo to the ground. instantly he is leaping back to his own feet- Well? Your name is Bonecrusher, is it not? You are after all a Decepticon, aren't you?! Don't let my current state hold you back.

crush all humanz (7:39:18 PM):

*hissing, he rises to his feet slowly, taking his time and making a show of brushing himself off, not looking at Blackout*  Your little problem  is hardly the reason I'm holding back.  And besides.... *looks up, sneering at the other*  If you wanted me to kill you, you would be down on the ground where I could really  get to you.

JazzBabySays (7:44:25 PM):

-shrugs in a mock show of nonchalance- What can I say? I wouldn't want to make it too easy for you, what with us being so complicated. Though pray tell, I hope you are not complaining...

crush all humanz (7:47:00 PM):

......That's it.  *the holo pops - only to reappear right behind the other, arms reaching out to pull Blackout's behind his back, holding him up against the holo, leaning in to hiss in his ear*  I don't want to deal with it any more.  Either you stop acting like you don't care about me, or I'm going to start assuming you don't.

JazzBabySays (7:58:46 PM):

.............

JazzBabySays (8:01:00 PM):

-he struggles for a short while then goes still, conserving his energy. for a moment he does consider making demands for the other to release him, but he doubts they would be met, so saves his breath too-

crush all humanz (8:02:53 PM):

*tightening his hold and increasing the actual physical  strength of his holo as much as he can, without hurting Blackout*  Well?  You say "I love you" like it means something - make it mean something!

JazzBabySays (8:07:17 PM):

-wincing, more likely from Bonecrusher's words than how he is currently handling him, he once again tries to shift away. this attempt seems weaker than before- And how would you have me do that? -surprisingly, his words are rather earnest-

crush all humanz (8:09:58 PM):

Stop hating me.  Stop acting like everything I do is wrong!   I don't ask much of you, you moronic glitch, I bend over backwards for you, and I just want you to stop looking at me like... like I'm your enemy!

JazzBabySays (8:17:42 PM):

-has to literally bite down on his tongue to keep the first thing that comes to mind from bursting forth, the action causing it to bleed. but the pain is enough to distract him from saying such things as 'I only act like that because everything you do do is wrong' or 'I never asked you to bend over backwards for me'. after much deliberation he finally manages to harshly grind something out- Fine.

crush all humanz (8:19:30 PM):

NO.  NOT FINE.   *he tightens his grip further, listening for creaking bones to stop him from actually breaking  something*  It's not fine! 

JazzBabySays (8:22:55 PM):

-except, ya know, his shoulder gives a rather wet pop as it goes out of place, which causes him to gasp in surprise and snap his teeth with a firm clack to keep from screaming. at least it's not another broken wrist, his brain concedes, in which Blackout promptly tells it to stfu-

crush all humanz (8:26:34 PM):

*forces himself not to loosen his grip - slaggit, he tightens it  just a little more*  What, Blackout.  I do everything for you and I ask you to actually treat me like something more than slag,  and you have nothing to say but "Fine?"   *even his laugh sounds wrong, too angry and ragged*  Sorry, but "fine" stopped being an end-all answer once I realized you don't mean anything by it.

JazzBabySays (8:37:42 PM):

-and now the bones start creaking, and his shoulder throws in its own complaint on top of that, the both of them making quite the convincing argument. everything he wants to say is too wordy for him to make, so he's forced to settle- Then what?

crush all humanz (8:43:02 PM):

*quietly, letting up on his grip but not pulling away completely*  Prove to me that you mean  it when you say the things you say.  Don't just shrug me off.  Don't keep things from me.  Don't make me think... that you'd rather die than be near me.  I don't ask for much, Blackout.  You have me wrapped around your finger....  I just need to know that my efforts aren't wasted.

JazzBabySays (8:46:22 PM):

Fi...-he catches himself, head lowering a fraction- ...very well, I...-he winces as he tries to pull away, his arm catching. is going to be feeling that later, to be sure- ...promise not to be so...aloof, and...such.

crush all humanz (8:49:22 PM):

........*he's not quite sure why that doesn't  make him feel any better, and lets go, stepping back a bit.*  .....That's all I want.  *and yet he still wants to beat the living crap out of him.  funny, that*

JazzBabySays (8:56:10 PM):

-hey, at least he's trying. :< what more do you want from him?! he catches the arm that was popped with his good hand, cradling it to his chest to prevent hurting it further- ...alright.

crush all humanz (8:58:59 PM):

..........I meant to hurt you.  *he shakes his head, feeling the sudden urge to grab the other by the neck and shake*  I meant to hurt you and I'm not sorry that I did.

JazzBabySays (9:00:39 PM):

-shrugs slightly, though it's more like a twitch since he can only do it with one shoulder- That is more like the Bonecrusher I know and love right there. -smirks slightly- Now are you going to help me pop this thing back in or must I do everything myself?

crush all humanz (9:03:24 PM):

*by pop back in does he mean rip it right out?  no? okay, okay, deep breath.  wide open fields.*  ....Yeah.  Sure.  *moves forward with the intent to do just that, even if he's... uh, not quite sure how that works.  :\  His arms just need a few wires replaced when this happens...*

JazzBabySays (9:05:54 PM):

-will not snap, will not call him incompetent, will not ask if he could just look it up on google. not all that surprisingly it takes a lot of willpower not to flinch or balk at the other's touch, managing to offer up his arm and shoulder as best he can-

crush all humanz (9:12:54 PM):

*humans are gross - they have ball joints but they're all... sinewy and fleshy and Bonecrusher really wishes Blackout were just normal  again, because this wouldn't be annoyingly worrying if he were.  He takes the injured arm and lift, twist, pop!*

JazzBabySays (9:13:23 PM):

-ow-

JazzBabySays (9:14:28 PM):

-having thought being numb and quite adapt at accepting pain he nearly crumpled at that, a strangled scream running off into a grunt as he barely catches himself-

JazzBabySays (9:14:44 PM):

-and to reiterate...ow-

crush all humanz (9:17:27 PM):

*he pulls Blackout into his arms almost immediately after that scream-grunt - nice try hiding it, Blackout - and frowns*  I'm.... Sit down or something.

JazzBabySays (9:21:05 PM):

I'm okay...-doesn't sound okay, but he still gives in and sits...er...well, flops into what resembles a sitting position, but only because the other asked, of course-

crush all humanz (9:23:37 PM):

.....I don't know what to do now.  I don't - the scenario ended a bit differently in my head.  *doesn't sound sheepish - just... confused.  can't teach a dog that his disaster scenarios aren't always correct, right?*

JazzBabySays (9:28:54 PM):

...I am sure it did...-he grants rather softly, it not very clear to him where to go with this either. then again, he's still trying to get past the searing, hot pain of his shoulder. it seems a bit happier to be back in its proper position, though. maybe it will get numb again?-

crush all humanz (9:31:58 PM):

*he crouches again beside the other, putting a hand on the shoulder - not adding any pressure, just there  - and shakes his head*  We're going to tear each other apart, aren't we.

JazzBabySays (9:32:42 PM):

Well, we are off to a good start, hm?

crush all humanz (9:35:13 PM):

A wonderful job, so far.  *sighs*  I just don't....  I don't know.  Hnn...

JazzBabySays (9:39:41 PM):

-gives the holo's wrist a gentle pat, not wanting to jar it too much since it is attached to his sore shoulder-

crush all humanz (9:43:53 PM):

*moves his hand and grabs Blackout's, leaning to kiss him briefly*  I...  Really wish I knew what I was doing with this.  Sorry.

JazzBabySays (9:48:19 PM):

That makes two of us. -chuckles idly, his hand rather limp in Bonecrusher's, but he leaves it there-

crush all humanz (9:50:36 PM):

....*frowns - half of him wants to leave and the other half just wants to hold on for a while more, but awkward silence is kind of a deterrent :\*

JazzBabySays (9:53:44 PM):

-decides to spare the other the trouble. thankfully he no longer feels like his legs have been chopped out from under him, so he makes to stand- ...I should probably go see about some ice or painkillers for...this. -waves a finger in the general direction of his shoulder. no idea where he will find either, but hey, he's smart, he'll figure something out...eventually...maybe-

crush all humanz (9:55:07 PM):

I.... *pulls away*  Alright.  That's probably best.

JazzBabySays (9:57:04 PM):

-he stares at him for a long moment, then nods once, turning around to head back the way he had come up here-

crush all humanz (9:58:07 PM):

......Blackout.

JazzBabySays (10:00:03 PM):

-stops dead, tensing as he glances at him over his shoulder-

crush all humanz (10:07:53 PM):

....*pushes himself off the ground, crossing his arms*  I love you.  But...  Next time this happens, just.... I don't know.  I don't know, Blackout - just...  Don't let it go this far.  I don't want to do something I'm going to regret.

JazzBabySays (10:09:38 PM):

...heh. -snorts, shaking his head- I will try and keep that in mind...-and down he goes, back inside and out of sight!-
