... What have you all done to get yourselves handcuffed?  Have I missed some large-scale brawl?  Why was I not informed?

Need to tell me these things.  Getting rusty just punching the bees.



((ooc: Ironhide is unable to lie 8D Enjoy!))

[Ironhide just... sort of stands in the doorway, raising an optic ridge.]

... Looking like that, I wonder if this really isn't your fault.

[ecopiracy.livejournal.com]

...what's that supposed to mean?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Saw some human mating rituals on the internet once, they were set up like this--

[And Ironhide promptly looks horrified that those words just came out of him.]

[ecopiracy.livejournal.com]

[Phoenix flushes. It's one thing when such topics are brought up intentionally, but it's different when this wasn't at all part of his plan.]

I was asleep. This is how I dress when I sleep.

[What is wrong with this picture when Ironhide is the one giving Phoenix flak about sex?]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Ironhide just clamps his mouth shut, making the most disagreeable face that his facial structure is capable of making.]

... Just... going to get those.... off.

[ecopiracy.livejournal.com]

[The subject change is very much appreciated.]

Yes. Please do.

[He pulls his arm away from the bedpost so there isn't any slack in the chain. Hopefully Ironhide can get a good grip.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He reaches for the chain, wrapping his hand around it... and pulls.]

[ecopiracy.livejournal.com]

[The chain does not break. The bed does not break. In fact, the bed starts to move when Ironhide pulls. Phoenix is just lucky Ironhide wrapped his hand around that chain before pulling, or he might have been victim as well.

Even so, Phoenix lets out a startled oath when the bed shifts beneath him.]

Precursors! Ironhide, what are you doing?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Breaking things.

[At least, that's what he's trying to do. The fact that absolutely nothing has happened just... boggles him. He stops. Gives is an experimental few tugs, and then tries again.]

... It should have worked by now.

[ecopiracy.livejournal.com]

[There's very little chain to play with, so some of those tugs accidentally pull Phoenix as well. He puts up with it, though, because he wants this damn thing off.]

Perhaps it's simply a matter of leverage. Try a different angle.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Ironhide growls something about having leverage in his other body, dammit, but shifts position, trying to pull it up.]

Need Ratchet's saw...

[ecopiracy.livejournal.com]

[Again, the chain doesn't even show the slightest hint of strain. The bed, however, jerks up under Ironhide's pull. Phoenix instinctively grasps at the mattress with another startled sound.]

Then go get it.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Captain took it. And my cannons.

[He gives it a few more experimental tugs, bracing one foot on the bed to try and help with this process.]

[ecopiracy.livejournal.com]

[Oh yes, of course. A saw could be considered a weapon. Phoenix curses under his breath.]

Damn that man...

[With a growl of irritation, he rubs the bridge of his nose while Ironhide makes his next few attempts.]

This isn't working. Can you think of anything else that might?
