MaffyTeacake: *is still outside the base, sittin by a outcrop of rocks*
Crush All Humanz: *spots him, and kind of dawdles for a
bit before wandering over to stand in front of him* ....UM.
MaffyTeacake: *noticed Crusher, and looks up* ....hey
Crush All Humanz: ....hey. *frowns; aaawkward.*
....so, on a scale of one to ten. just on a basis.... anger?
MaffyTeacake: At you? ...two.
Crush All Humanz: ....only a two. *halfheartedly joking* i
figured it'd be more. uh.... *sighs* this wasn't exactly supposed to happen.
MaffyTeacake: It was more, then I realised
that I wasn't actually mad.
Crush All Humanz: ....uh. *frowns* you weren't mad? ....i mean... look, it was very...... energon does weird things when it.... it's .... ugh. *facepalm - not good with talking*
Crush All Humanz: it was an accident. kind of. i mean. i
didn't go out of my way to.... you know. *waves a hand to articulate*
MaffyTeacake: I hoped not : (
MaffyTeacake: It was a bit of a punch in the face,
considering...
Crush All Humanz: .....yeah, i'm ... i didn't expect anything to happen. we were both... really drunk. *settles into a sitting position* if you want to yell, now would be the time. i'm okay with yelling.
Crush All Humanz: ....*another joke* i do it all the time,
apparently.
MaffyTeacake: *smiles slightly, not yelling, but
fires a soda can at a rock instead*
Crush All Humanz: *shakes his head a little, frowning
deeply* ......this sucks.
MaffyTeacake: *nods* It does *frowns, thinking it probably
would have been less confusing to stay an inanimate soda machine*
Crush All Humanz: *sighs and shifts in his spot, dropping
his hands to his knees and leaning to get a better look at the other* i just...
it's a really long story, but it's not like i meant to backstab you like this.
MaffyTeacake: ...I know, Its not like I ever...argh *bangs
head lightly against the rock next to him*
Crush All Humanz: *quickly puts his hand between his head
and the rock, cupping the side of his head and keeping him from banging his
head again* ever what? if i do all the talking, all you're gonna hear is
"i didn't mean to" and "i'm
sorry" and those aren't gonna make you feel any better.
MaffyTeacake: *has absolutely no idea how to say
this* Its not like I ever...I mean, even with all the "<3", which
I'm hoping I didn't read to much into now...
MaffyTeacake: It's just....I never said I liked you, so I
didn't think I had a right to be mad...
MaffyTeacake: *looks away from Bonecusher,
a little uncomfortable*
Crush All Humanz: *pulls his hand back, feeling plenty uncomfortable over the whole situation - killing things is way easier than talking, in his opinion - but he sighs and runs a hand over his face, trying to formulate a response at all* ....look. you have all rights to being mad at me - i mean... this "less-than-three" thing isn't just a random combination of symbols. it, um. it means something. i just... *growls at himself* this is ridiculous. drunken interfacing shouldn't equal the end of the world for everyone. what the slag is wrong with me lately?
Crush All Humanz: *shakes his head* it should have been a
one time thing, but... i don't know what happened. my processors go haywire
whenever they have to contemplate Blackout, and it's annoying, and i'm sorry you're getting hurt because of it. this isn't how
sentience is, usually. ...tends to hurt less on occasion.
MaffyTeacake: *doesn't think he could cope with
replying to the last comment, so replys to the first
instead* ...I don't
think I could be mad at you,anyway. You were the only
mech to contact me, after I woke up, you know?
MaffyTeacake: If you hadn't, I'd proably still be wandering....or being dismantled by the
humans by now *shudders at the thought*
Crush All Humanz: *shakes his head* one of those slagging autobots would have found you. they're obnoxiously good at that sort of thing.
Crush All Humanz: ....i don't know what to do at this
point. *shoulders slump in defeat* i'm not a
talker.
MaffyTeacake: *tentatively inches closer to
Bonecrusher* If......if you're...happy, with Blackout, I don't want to screw
that up for you, but...I
want to say that I do care about you, quite a lot.......I just wish now
that I'd said it earlier : (
Crush All Humanz: ....*sighs* i don't even know if i'm happy. my processors generally don't compute emotions
like that. the whole "hating" thing gets in the way. and the slagger
is infuriating seventy percent of the time. it's... *shakes his head
again, optics flickering in thought* it's complicated. i hate
complicated.
MaffyTeacake: *doesn't really know what to say,
but looks up, giving Bonecrusher a chance to vent if he wants*
Crush All Humanz: it's... just that - there's a lot of history
- slag it, there's centuries upon centuries of history there - and he's
obnoxious, but... i don't know. i just... it wasn't supposed to fry my
circuits like it did. and it wasn't supposed to hurt you, most
importantly. i don't... i don't like hurting people who i don't hate.
MaffyTeacake: *tentatively leans against Bonecrusher, feeling only slightly less
confused than he did an hour ago*
MaffyTeacake: I...I don't really know what to
say...I just...*trails off*
Crush All Humanz: *reaches down and puts a hand on Dewbot's shoulder, giving him an albeit awkward hug* i'm sorry. this is a really slagging
bad way to have a first meeting, huh.
MaffyTeacake: *leans into him slightly* ...yeah
Crush All Humanz: ...i just... *grr.* i just don't want you depressed anymore. Primus knows we have enough emo on this base without either of us adding to it. and you being emo is just gonna make me emo too. you should come in and drink with us one of these days.
MaffyTeacake: *smiles slightly* Ok, no more
emo....
MaffyTeacake: *sighs slightly*....so, where does that leave us now?
Crush All Humanz: *shifts a little, uncomfortably, and
looks up at the sky for a long moment* i'm... not
sure. i don't think... i don't think i could just say "see you" to
blackout. there's... it's hard to explain. i don't want to hurt you - well, any
more than i have - but... i don't know. ........i wouldn't be very good for
you, you know.
MaffyTeacake: *smiles, just a bit* I don't know...you wanted to protect me for sixshot and brawl, and that = good in my book :-) but...I don't want to screw things
up for you : (
Crush All Humanz: ....sixshot
and brawl are slaggers who don't know how to help
others. it's... stupid. i don't know if - ....blackout is kind of hard to.... he's
reluctant. but... he kind of.... *sigh* i don't know. this is hard to talk
about...... he's
an aft, but he's got his up-points.
MaffyTeacake: *frowns at self*
MaffyTeacake: *knows exactly what to say here, but
really doesn't want to say it*
Crush All Humanz: *squeezes his hand slightly against the
other's shoulder* it's not like... i don't know. i'm
sorry... this wasn't really what i was planning on happening.
MaffyTeacake: ...It's ok. It's just...*pauses,
trying to figure out how to put this*
MaffyTeacake: *has tried to figure this out with
all his six-month-old logic* If he makes you happy...you should go for it. I wish I did
but....i won't get in your way.
Crush All Humanz: *sighs* he doesn't make anyone happy.
except maybe megatron, when he's doing his job.
but... i
don't know. it's
complicated. i didn't - gah, life was easier before earth. *grrs
a little at his inability to talk* i didn't mean to hurt you.
MaffyTeacake: ...I know.
Crush All Humanz: .....still. my... everything is so screwed
up when it comes to blackout and me. he doesn't give a slag about it, other
than... *adjusts processor/vocalizer filter* he
doesn't give a slag about me, but... it's like i want to make him? i
don't know. i really shouldn't be telling you this.
MaffyTeacake: Its ok. *understands, because that's
pretty much how he was feeling after this all kicked off*
Crush All Humanz: it's... ugh. *rubs his face again* i
want to beat the crap out of him until he stops being a moron. if you can
understand that?
MaffyTeacake: Yeah, I can *gives Bonecrusher a hug
as best he can, being half the size of him*
Crush All Humanz: *returns the hug a little awkwardly* i'm sorry, again. i don't feel good about what i did to
you.
MaffyTeacake: It's ok *smiles up at Bonecrsher a little*
Crush All Humanz: *looks down at the other, before shaking
his head and looking back up at the sky* it isn't, and you know that as well as
i do.
MaffyTeacake: I'm still not going to yell at
you.... : /
Crush All Humanz: *sighs* so you aren't gonna yell, and
you're not gonna be emo. i'm kind of concerned... but
then again, i suppose it's a decepticon thing.
*shakes his head* as much of a decepticon as i'm being.
MaffyTeacake: I'm not going to yell because I
can't : / ....I'm going
to have to work on the emo though
Crush All Humanz: why can't you yell? it's easy. *confused*
MaffyTeacake: *sighs* Maybe I shoul've
said I can't yell at you...
Crush All Humanz: ....why the slag not? i deserve it!
*frowns* even decepticons, used to being swindled by
their own companions, get pissed at someone doing something like what i did.
MaffyTeacake: I just... can't.*looks up at
Bonecrusher*
Crush All Humanz: *eyes Dewbot
for a while, then gives the small bot another squeeze - this one a little more
protective than he'd probably admit* you need to get mad. the others - i won't
mind it. you don't have to do it now, or even around me, but you have the right
to it. i know i did something pretty slagging bad to
you... but... i'm not sure i can really give up
harassing blackout. he needs emotions more than anyone on this slagging base. and... i've seen
him emotional and - it's a bit creepy, but he's... better with it. i guess. i
sound like a slagging moron, but... augh. okay. stopping. you should be angry and i don't get
why you're not, but if that's how you really want to do this...
MaffyTeacake: *shakes head slightly, realising Bonecrusher didn't get what he meant, but not
worrying about it for now*
MaffyTeacake: ...yeah. I'm not mad, you're not depressed,
everyone happy : /
Crush All Humanz: ....i'm surprised you're taking this as well as you are.
Crush All Humanz: *sighs and moves his arm from Dewbot, rising to his feet slowly* i should go. you...
probably want some more time to pop cans everywhere. *smirk* that looks like
fun as it is.
MaffyTeacake: ....yeah. *to himself* It's really not. Can't inflict much
damage with a soda can..
Crush All Humanz: *hears it nonetheless and grins now, a
little too viciously perhaps* you'd be surprised at how much damage a blunt
object can inflict. guns are overrated, besides... *flexes his hands* it's
better to just get your hands on someone. *looks back towards the base* i
should get back. i'll see you around, all right?
MaffyTeacake: Ok...*leans back against the rock
feeling...not really any better than before*
Crush All Humanz: *heads back to the base, wondering if
that could have been any more awkward - or if that could have gone better at
all.*
MaffyTeacake: *looks mournfully at Bonecrusher's
back as he walks away* : (
