Bonecrusher: :: SO......... ::
Bonecrusher: :: WHATCHA UP
TO? :: *innocent*
Arcee: ::.....Uh, nothing. By the way, thankyousomuch
for giving those cuffs back in good condition.::
Bonecrusher: :: NO PROBLEM. NO DENTS IN 'EM, RIGHT?
::
Arcee: ::Not a scratch.::
Bonecrusher: :: ...THAT'S BOTH GOOD AND SLIGHTLY DEPRESSING, CONSIDERING HOW MUCH WE PUT THEM THROUGH. ANYWAYS. ::
Bonecrusher: :: WANT TO COME TO MY ROOM AND MESS WITH
MY INTERNALS? ::
Arcee: ::...*polite cough* ....::
Bonecrusher: :: ....I NEED SOMEBODY TO SET MY CLOCK RIGHT. LAST TIME I TRIED I GOT STUCK IN 1976. ::
Bonecrusher: :: BELIEVE ME, THAT WAS A HORRIBLE YEAR.
::
Arcee: ::Ah. That. Sure. Meet me in the medbay.::
Arcee: ::1976? How did you do that...?::
Bonecrusher: :: I DON'T KNOW. AND UGH. I HAVE
TO GO TO THE MEDBAY? ::
Arcee: ::Well, I guess not. It doesn't REALLY need tools.::
Bonecrusher: :: THEN YOU CAN COME OVER HERE~! ::
*doesn't like medbays, kthx.*
Arcee: ::Alright. Where are you? In your room? And hey, have you heard
from Jeff? He's still alive, right?::
Bonecrusher: :: I'M IN MY ROOM, AND YES, HE'S STILL
ALIVE. WE SHOULD PROBABLY GET AROUND TO RESCUING HIM SOME TIME, BUT THE
LESS I DEAL WITH THE VOK, THE BETTER. ::
Arcee: ::Yeah. I don't like dealing with the Vok
either. Hope he's okay.:: *walking down the hall to his room, yay!*
Bonecrusher: *door's open, darling bubblegum colored
femme who saves him from the medbay~*
Arcee: *shoves the door open, grinning at him from the doorway * So.
Can't set your clock, eh? Instead of 1976 we could always try something
different. Maybe 1963?
Bonecrusher: *shakes his head and sits up on his berth* YEAH, NO. 1963 LOOKS TO BE A HORRIBLE YEAR TOO.
Bonecrusher: ....IT STILL IS 2007 RIGHT.
Bonecrusher: *frowns*
Arcee: *snickers * Yeah. It is. *edges over to him, eyeing him.* You
sure that’s all that’s wrong?
Bonecrusher: PRETTY SURE. MEGATRON'S JUST PISSED AT ME BECAUSE I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHAT DAY DISNEYLAND WAS. *grumbles* LIKE THAT MEANS I'M LESS EXCITED TO GO.
Bonecrusher: *screw him.*
Arcee: You're excited too? *grins, reaching over to start setting!*
Bonecrusher: UH, OF COURSE I AM. THIS WAS MY
IDEA.
Arcee: That is so cute. *snickering under her breath, set, set!*
Arcee: Whoops.
Bonecrusher: WHY DOES EVERYONE -....
Bonecrusher: .............WHAT WHOOPS.
Arcee: *twirling little dials * Nothing. Hey, did you ever hear
anything about Y2K?
Bonecrusher: .........NO.
Bonecrusher: ........I'M NOT GOOGLING IT, EITHER.
Bonecrusher: I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
Arcee: Huh. That might be a good thing. *twirling, mumbling little
curses under her breath.*
Bonecrusher: ........
Bonecrusher: HOW COME, EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO FIX ME....
Bonecrusher: SOMETHING SEEMS TO GO WRONG?
Arcee: Hey. I always fix my oopsies.
Arcee: *pokes him in the chest * Remember your leg?
Bonecrusher: YOU SHOULDN'T BE MAKING ANY.
Bonecrusher: YES. I DO.
Arcee: Straightened that out. *starts smirking at her pun *
Arcee: I make little ones. And sometimes they're on purpose. *innocent
grin *
Bonecrusher: .....
Bonecrusher: SOMETIMES I REGRET TRUSTING YOU.
Arcee: You really shouldn't. I'm probably the only one you really can.
*eyes him.*
Bonecrusher: PROBABLY.
Bonecrusher: IT'S DOWN TO YOU OR HOOK, REALLY.
Bonecrusher: BUT HOOK NEEDS LESS PETTY STRESS.
*:<*
Arcee: Yeah, he seems like he's been pretty flustered lately.
Bonecrusher: TOO MANY THINGS GOIN' ON.
Arcee: *nodding, twirling dials * Hey are you opposed to the 1600s?
Bonecrusher: .....YES.
Bonecrusher: I AM.
Arcee: Huh. Hey did you know your internal clock goes all the way back
to approximately 10,000BC? Human years, anyway.
Arcee: Kinda neat. I mean, it goes farther. But you know, as far as
these silly human years go..*trails off, is babbling and thinking in her head
now, hmm interesting * Hey can I do some research on you?
Bonecrusher: ......I SUPPOSE?
Bonecrusher: AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T INVOLVE ME ACTING
LIKE A DINOBOT, I GUESS.
Arcee: Nah.
Arcee: I don't wanna work on myself, something might go wrong. I'd
rather work on you. *brightly.*
Bonecrusher: ...........
Bonecrusher: .........*SIGH*
Bonecrusher: FINE.
Arcee: *grins at him, shutting the plate on him orwhereverhisclockis
with a snap * Awesome.
Bonecrusher: JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE SPARK. *:\*
Arcee: I wont mess with your spark.
Arcee: I mean, unless you want me to pull it out again?
Arcee: *innocence *
Bonecrusher: NO, THANKS.
Bonecrusher: *shudders*
Bonecrusher: BESIDES, BLACKOUT WOULD KILL BOTH OF US.
Arcee: Yeah. I didn't think so. That creeped me out too.
Arcee: Oh yeah?
Bonecrusher: HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU GETTIN' THAT CLOSE.
....I ACTUALLY THINK HE JUST DOESN'T LIKE ANYONE BUT HIM GETTIN' THAT CLOSE.
Arcee: Oooooooooooh. I see.
Bonecrusher: YEAH, IT'S THIS WHOLE.... *waves a hand*
THING. I DUNNO.
Arcee: *blinks at him * So how is all that going? I mean...I saw the
tapes...*another polite cough thing * Everything still good...?
Bonecrusher: AS GOOD AS IT GETS, I GUESS. CONSIDERIN' MY RECORD FOR NOT DIGGIN'
A HOLE AROUND HIM IS TWO DAYS.
Arcee: Huh. Wow.
Bonecrusher: YEAH, NOT A VERY LONG RECORD BUT IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS. *frowns a bit*
Bonecrusher: I WAS THINKIN' SOMETHIN', ACTUALLY, NOW
THAT YOU MENTION TAPES.
Arcee: Oh?
Bonecrusher: I WAS THINKIN'... MAYBE THAT NIGHTBIRD FEMME IS SO CREEPY STALKER-LIKE BECAUSE SHE
DOESN'T HAVE MUCH ELSE TO DO.
Arcee: Huh. That's true.
Arcee: She must be bored.
Bonecrusher: *grin* OH, YOU AGREE. THAT MAKES THIS
IDEA EASIER TO PUT OUT ON THE TABLE. MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER TRAININ' HER T'BE A MEDIC.
Arcee: ....No.
Arcee: She's Creepy. Do you think I want her poking around in my
internals?
Arcee: And do you want her poking around in YOURS?
Bonecrusher: SHE'S ONLY CREEPY BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T
KNOW WHAT THE SLAG SHE'S DOIN'.
Arcee: ......
Bonecrusher: SHE'S MANMADE, SO SHE AIN'T BUILT LIKE US, RIGHT?
Bonecrusher: MAYBE HER BEIN' A MEDIC WOULD HELP WITH
HER CURIOSITY. I DUNNO, 'S JUST SOMETHIN' I WAS THINKIN' ABOUT.
Arcee: .....
Arcee: *isn't amused * I'm going to set your clock back to the fifth
century. *reaches for him *
Bonecrusher: HEY!
Bonecrusher: *flails*
Arcee: Come here.
Bonecrusher: NO WAY - I LIKE THE CENTURY I'M IN!
Bonecrusher: I'M JUST SAYIN'! IT'D MAKE SENSE.
*:<*
Arcee: *sits back down * I dunno. I think it's creepy. Maybe we can
train her as something like...a gunner or something.
Bonecrusher: OH, BECAUSE GIVIN' THE CREEPY NINJA
FEMME A GUN IS A GREAT IDEA. *flatly*
Arcee: Better than letting her poke in my systems and offline me.
Arcee: : <!
Bonecrusher: SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO POKE AROUND IN YOU.
YOU COULDN'T TRAIN SOMEONE MESSIN' WITH YOUR
INSIDES, ANYWAY.
Arcee: I'm sure you have a point. However I think you ought to bring it
up with Megatron first. I'm not just gonna start training her then get slagged
for it.
Bonecrusher: ....MAYBE I WILL. I DUNNO, I JUST FIGURE
I'D GET BORED DOIN' NOTHIN'.
Arcee: Yeah. That's prolly why you drink so
much.
Bonecrusher: I ONLY DRINK SO I DON'T KILL Y'ALL.
Arcee: Oooh you couldn't kill me. You like me too much.
Bonecrusher: ......I DON'T LOATHE TRACKS, AND I HAD NO PROBLEM BEATIN' HIM WITHIN AN INCH OF HIS LIFE.
Bonecrusher: WELL, UNTIL LATER.
Arcee: *facepalms * I don't loathe you either and I pulled your spark
outta your chest and poked at it. *cheerful *
Bonecrusher: THAT WAS BECAUSE I TOLD YOU TO.
Arcee: Yeah, you were egging me on.
Arcee: *leans back.* Either way, you should be good. Pull it up, see if
it's outta the 1600s.
Bonecrusher: ......
Bonecrusher: *checks*
Bonecrusher: ......I WAS PRETTY SURE IT WASN'T 2017.
Bonecrusher: *:\*
Arcee: Eh?
Arcee: 2017?
Arcee: Huh.
Bonecrusher: IT ISN'T, RIGHT?
Arcee: No.
Bonecrusher: TOO BAD. I COULD HAVE MADE FUN OF TRACKS
FOR BEING OUT OF DATE.
Arcee: *snorts * Come here. Lemme fix.
Bonecrusher: *leans. :< DOESN'T TRUST HER SHE KEEPS SCREWING UP*
Bonecrusher: *maybe starscream
would be safer.*
Arcee: *grins at him, reaches out and makes a few adjustments * There.
Bonecrusher: ....AAAALLRIGHT.
2007.
Arcee: *nods.*
Arcee: Quit giving me that look.
Bonecrusher: WHAT LOOK? *innocent*
Arcee: That one too. *glower *
Arcee: I know what I'm doing.
Bonecrusher: I DON'T DOUBT THAT, BUBBLEGUM.
Bonecrusher: I'M JUST TOO EASY A TARGET FOR THINGS TO
GO AWRY.
Arcee: *shakes a finger * Have I ever actually failed you or anyone
else when it's something important?
Arcee: And yes, that is true. You attract trouble like stink on a
monkey.
Bonecrusher: .....
Bonecrusher: *:\*
Bonecrusher: ....IN EITHER CASE, IT ISN'T YOUR FAULT
THINGS GO WRONG WITH ME.
Bonecrusher: 'S JUST HOW I'M BUILT.
Arcee: Apparently.
Bonecrusher: EH. IT KIND OF COMES WITH THE TERRITORY. *shrugs*
Bonecrusher: NOW, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO RESEARCH? *:\*
Arcee: Mmm. I want to take a look at your clock, see how
far back it goes, see if I can make it go even farther back. And macybe just kind of pick around in there. Get to know the
inside workisn of mechs a
bit better. I'm pretty good at what I do, I got all my files from Hook, but I'm
still a novice.
Bonecrusher: ....*shrugs* I GUESS. 'S NOT LIKE YOU
WOULDN'T JUST KILL MY MOTOR FUNCTIONS AND DO IT ANYWAYS.
Arcee: Huh. True. You taught me that little trick. *sounds pleased *
Bonecrusher: 'S COME IN HANDY, RIGHT?
Arcee: Oh you have no idea.
Bonecrusher: THE FIRST THING ANY MECH SHOULD KNOW,
REALLY. THANK PRIMUS THEY DON'T.
Arcee: Used it on Soundwave. It was so satisfying. Really.
Arcee: Thank you.
Bonecrusher: NO PROBLEM.
Bonecrusher: LIKE I SAID, EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW HOW
TO, BUT IT'S WONDERFUL FUN THAT THEY DON'T.
Arcee: It really is. *gleeful.*
Bonecrusher: *shifts a bit* WELL? DID YOU WANT TO
POKE AROUND NOW, OR ARE YOU MORE INTERESTED ON THE CONSTANT DRAMA THAT IS THE
MEDBAY? *sarcasm ftw?*
Arcee: Eh. I don't need to get back to the medbay. I can poke around if
you aren't busy.
Bonecrusher: ....DO I LOOK BUSY? *opticroll* IF THERE AIN'T A CUBE IN MY HAND, I AIN'T BUSY.
Arcee: *starts laughing * True. Lay down, then.
Bonecrusher: *does so, rather easily considering
there's a femme that wants to dig into his chassis :<*
Arcee: *peers at him.* Wanna pop it for me? I don't wanna...intrude
on anyones territory. *innocence ftw!*
Bonecrusher: *scowls but does that as well. so long
as she doesn't start asking for HIM to reach in and poke wires, it'll be fine.
Claws =/= medic hands D:*
Arcee: *grins, leans over and starts poking around, pulling here and
there, hmminh every now and then *
Bonecrusher: *frowns a bit but keeps from squirming.
mostly.*
Arcee: Huh. Thats interesting. *tug tug.*
Bonecrusher: *wince* WHAT'S INTERESTING?
Arcee: This.
Arcee: *tug.tug.*
Bonecrusher: *winces again* WOULD YOU STOP THAT?
Arcee: It's cool. It's like this long pink wire thing.
Arcee: Haven't seen this really before.
Arcee: Wonder what it does.
Arcee: *tug-tug*
Bonecrusher: *ow!*
Arcee: *tuuuug!*
Bonecrusher: *....okay not so ow anymore.*
Arcee: *hmphs. tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug!*
Bonecrusher: *groans*
Bonecrusher: U-UH.
Arcee: ...
Arcee: *ignores, continues to tug away!*
Bonecrusher: *twitch* UUUM.
I-I'D STOP THAT OKAYTHANKS.
Arcee: Eh? What for? *blinks, pauses, wire in hand.* It's really cool,
it's this really neat pink wire and it's pretty central, I mean it goes
throughout everything in here. I wanna see where it originates! *tugs again,
fingers creeping up the cord to see where it leads!*
Bonecrusher: *makes a small noise, optics shuttering*
R-REALLY. haaa... U-UH, YOU SHOULDSTOP.
Arcee: Is it gonna kill you? *blinks.* I'd hate to do that. *tug.*
Bonecrusher: *do not arch into it, do not squirm, do
not move* N-NO, NOT R-REALLY IDON'TTHINK.
Arcee: Oh. Good! *absently rolls it, digs around with her free hand,
coming up with an uninteresting blue fuel line.* Eh. Boring. I -really- want to
see where this goes! *eyes it again, tracing it through the system. Hmm.
Weird.*
Bonecrusher: *fans kicking in now* haaa - ARCEE, I-IT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE - hhhn - JUST A RANDOM W-WIRE OR SOMETHIN'.... *rambling*
Arcee: Eh, I doubt it's a random wire. *frowning, leaning over him,
totally oblivious to his reactions. Puuuuuuulls on
it, maybe it'll pop lose? Then again that may not be a good idea. But eh, she
fan fix it if it does. Hopefully. Either way, she was damn sure harassing that
wire.*
Bonecrusher: *okay slaggit - he groans again, claws
twitching against the berth*
Arcee: Hush or I'll disable you. *murmuring, hands digging in again,
holding the little pink wire out to the side, still absently rolling it between
her fingers.*
Bonecrusher: K-KINNA
C-C-CA-ahhhh- CAN YOU PLEASESTOPOKAY?!
*full octave rise*
Arcee: *annoyed * Okay. I'm going to turn off your vocals if you don't
stop.
Bonecrusher: hhhn. *oh man, he really should tell her
:< but it's like ohprimus. so ohhh,
wow. um.*
Arcee: *tugs on it again thoughtfully. Hmm. Maybe it was for something
else. IT could be a sensory wire, or something. It didn't -seem- to lead any
where specefic, although it traveled towards his
spark area and he told her not to mess with that. So instead, she bent over him
again, working on it, attempting different little things to see what the
results would be, twisting it, rolling it, pulling on it, etc. She wanted to
see also if she could make sparks fly! Cause she's just sadistic like that.*
Bonecrusher: *oookayseriouslywhatthehell*
A-ARCEE. U-UH, IF YOU KEEP GOING I AM S-SOOoooh - SO
NOT RESPONSIBLE F-FOR ANYTHING.
Arcee: *reaches over and thwaps him, not
hearing anything he's saying. He's such a distraction, really. Ooh, lookie! A spark! She grinned to herself, and worked harder
on the cute little pink wire, and she wondered idly if ...nah. Continues to
work!*
Bonecrusher: *his claws twitch again against the berth* ....... *slaggit, she isn't even listening to him.*
Bonecrusher: *you'd think she'd be bright enough to
notice the sounds he's making! D:*
Arcee: *she was bright, thankyouverymuch,
just not listening to his noises. She was focused, really focused, especially
since she didn't want to actually HURT the slagger, or kill him. Just test-
ooh, another spark! This time it was pink and pretty. Tries harder, maybe she
can make more? Gives the wire a rough tug, then accidentally brushes it against
his spark casing/spark area. That ought to be an intense rush for him!*
Bonecrusher: *lets out an undignified moan, unable to
keep himself from arching up at that* nngh...
Arcee: *finally blinks at him, irritated * I'm going to do that nice
little trick you taught me. *Reaches over and flick! Off goes the motor
functions! Oooh that must be torture! Especially
since she dropped the wire on top of the spark, he ought ot
be getting some hefty surges!*
Bonecrusher: *SLAGGINGHELLGODDAMNIT*
Bonecrusher: *he's completely incoherent now,
anyways, so I guess it doesn't matter at this point*
Arcee: *sets back to her task of roughly manhandling poor Crusher!*
Bonecrusher: *moans internally, slagslagslagifshedoesn'tstop---*
Arcee: *doesn't stop! Rough!*
Bonecrusher: *twitches helplessly and figures okayjustgetitoverwith, ttly
falling into overload with a silent yell*
Arcee: *is still jerking and pulling and twisting and yanking and just
generally roughing him the hell up. Completely oblivious to what she is doing
to him, to her, this is all FOR SCIENCE *
Bonecrusher: *is currently reduced to an near-offlined, twitching heap of overloaded mech*
Arcee: *stops, eyeing him in alarm, enabling his motor functions *
Primus shit! Did I kill you?!
Bonecrusher: ..........
Bonecrusher: *stares dazedly at her*
Arcee: *stares at him, afraid she hurt him.* Crusher! Say something!
Bonecrusher: ..............n-never do tha' again.
Arcee: Did I hurt you?!
Arcee: *stares, concern!*
Bonecrusher: ...............
Bonecrusher: th' exact opposite. *dazed
glare!*
Arcee: ...*pauses, picks up the wire again, looks at Crusher, looks at
wire, looks at Crusher, looks at wire OHSLAG.*
Bonecrusher: *would be laughing at her expression* yeeaa. tried t'tell ya.
Arcee: *staring at him in utter horror * I...You...ohmy...OMG.
Bonecrusher: yeeeeaaa. *coherency? him? come on.*
Arcee: *looks completely and utterly horrified.* OMG!
You...you just...?? OMG!
Bonecrusher: ......yer a medic. y'didn't notice?
Arcee: I was busy! You were...twitching!
Bonecrusher: .........
Bonecrusher: *level gaze*
Bonecrusher: and?
Arcee: .....
Arcee: *is utterly speechless *
Bonecrusher: *notices that, thx*
Arcee: So....so....uh....
Bonecrusher: *opticroll* note
t'you. pink wire means do not touch.
Arcee: Oh, slag.
Bonecrusher: *you know, he's a little too casual for
this :\*
Arcee: *is NOT. SQUEAK.* What...what...
Bonecrusher: ...what?
Bonecrusher: *it seems pretty 1 + 1 to him*
Arcee: *clears throat * Well. Um. Now you have something to show
Blackout??
Bonecrusher: *smirks* s'pose
so.
Arcee: *is still staring at him, horrified * Aren't you in the least
bit FREAKED OUT?
Arcee: I mean, I just...I just sent you...I...*incoherent babble *
Bonecrusher: not really. 's not like y'expected to. *flat glare* though y'know, incoherency in
me generally means s'mthin'.
Arcee: I was busy! *sputters * I thought you were just being irritating
like usual!
Bonecrusher: well.
Bonecrusher: now you know.
Bonecrusher: *flatly* and knowin' is half the battle.
Arcee: *shakes her head, then bursts into laughter *
Bonecrusher: *grumbles and shifts a bit* yer lucky
yer a tolerable femme. most anybody would get slagged fer that.
Arcee: Laughing, or overloading you without permission?
Arcee: *still laughing *
Bonecrusher: a bit o' both.
Arcee: ...Why are you talking funny?
Bonecrusher: 'cos 'm tired?
Bonecrusher: *blink*
Arcee: ....*staring at him.* Huh.
Bonecrusher: what? *groans a little in exasperation*
inside voice for inside activities, bubblegum. *smirk!*
Arcee: Riiiiight.
Bonecrusher: *heh*
Arcee: Yeah uh. Maybe I should continue my research at a later date?
Arcee: But, you know, you were an exceptionally good sport!
Bonecrusher: .....eh.
Bonecrusher: *uncomfortable*
Arcee: *starts laughing. again. and cannot stop.*
Bonecrusher: *scowls* 's not a laughin'
matter, pinkie.
Arcee: *biting back laughter * Of...of course it's not...
Bonecrusher: 'course i was a good sport. *shifts* th'
holo only gets so much sensory overload.
Arcee: *....facepalm.*
Arcee: .....true.
Bonecrusher: that, an' turnin'
off my motor functions? kinda impedes th' whole "getoffme"
thing.
Arcee: Eh. You were aggravating me with your whining and twitching.
Bonecrusher: ......
Bonecrusher: the whinin'
an' twitchin' were to alert you t'... you know
what, nevermind.
Arcee: *starts laughing *
Arcee: *again.*
Bonecrusher: .......*looks at her for a long moment*
Bonecrusher: y'know, if yer gonna stay here n' laugh
at me, i'mma start thinkin' you want me t'return the favor. *flatly.*
Arcee: *eyes him, then convulses. She just.
Can't. Help. It. The whole situation was way to much for her*
Bonecrusher: *stares at her idly* please tell me that
ain't the case, bubblegum.
Arcee: It's not. *hiccups * This whole situations is just way too much.
I can't believe I didn't notice. *grinning *
Bonecrusher: neither can i.
Arcee: *...aaan is laughing again, hard,
leaning against the wall *
Bonecrusher: *IGNORES*
Arcee: *hiccups * I should leave.
Bonecrusher: aaah, good t'see
you got the hint. *dryly*
Arcee: *leaves the room, laughing the entire way back to her room *
