27th Transmission / 4th Wall Day~

[heavyweaponsbot]

... why is everyone suddenly watching films? And why is it loud on board?

What happened this time?

Deck 6, if the signage is to be trusted.

You?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Usually can be.

Uhhh... Deck 5... room 8410. Ratchet's quarters.

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

On my way.

[Vrroom vrroooom]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Door is open, when you find it.

[He'll just stay seated against the wall here, chillin' with that gaping hole in his chest.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[And Bee does eventually find it and let himself in.

...OH PRIMUS THAT LOOKS HORRIBLE. He makes a sorrowful chirping sound.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He sort of laughs at that, and shakes his head.]

Not as bad as it looks... It has healed. Sort of.

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[Bumblebee bullies his voice into twisting some sounds into a word, approaching Ironhide's side and folding down his wings.] Whhhooo?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[dsjds that sound sort of hurts his spark a little. He reaches over to pat Bumblebee's shoulder, trying to be reassuring.] Hey... come on. Said it was not that bad...

Just some... overpowered organic. Not human. He had some kind of... [he waves a hand] Energy power. Thing.

BAWWW THAT ICON

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

Nnnaamme? [Because 'Bee kind of wants to bring the smackdown on whoever it was. ...or try to. If they got the upper hand in a fight with Ironhide it'd have to be tough, but Ironhide is WOUNDED. That's totally Decepticon behavior.]

... Bee you're going to hurt yourself talking ;~;

[heavyweaponsbot]

Not important... You quit worrying.

[He's not the most reassuring 'Bot ever. The best he can do is sort of... shake 'Bee's shoulder.]

I am going to heal. Promise you that, hmn?

No he will be fine through SHEER WILLPOWER.

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[He makes a rather disappointed sound and sulks, crouching down.

Yeah, he knows you'll be all right, especially with Ratchet around. ...doesn't mean he doesn't want to teach that jerkface not to mess with the Autobots.]

HE BETTER BE.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He gives him another shove. C'mon, 'Bee. No sulking. That's his shtick.]

If you are going to start... crying, was it? I am walking out of here. You will make me rust.

[TOTALLY TEASING YOU, LITTLE BUDDY.]

HE ALWAYS IS

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[And of course, what does Bumblebee do?

"Cry." Or at least, his adapted form of it.]

GOOD.

[heavyweaponsbot]

What--stop that! Going to get me--ugh! Wet!

[Now he shoves at him, swearing in words best left unprinted.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

['Bee cuts it out, shoulders shaking with repressed laughter. Oh Ironhide, you are too easy. You really are.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[The laughing's better than the worrying, at least. He reaches over to bonk 'Bee on the head - lightly!]

Yeah, yeah... laugh. Go on. Laugh at my rusting old armor.

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[Bumblebee does a quick scan before pinging Ironhide on their shortwave frequency (of course, "shortwave" for Autobots makes walkie-talkie distance look like a bad joke) to "speak" that way.]

I'm sorry, I'll stop. You really don't need help on the rusting front, do you?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He shrugs, covering the hole with a hand. There's a pause, while he makes sure 'Bee's finished talking over the frequency.]

You, unlike some, are allowed to get away with a few rust jokes. And, with Ratchet around, everything is fine...

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

I don't mean them anyway. You're the toughest Autobot alive. [Even without an actual tone of voice, he's just DRIPPING with hero-worship.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Not tougher than Optimus... Hm? [Nudges him with an elbow - no one's as tough as Prime, 'Bee.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

Well, obviously. [Optimus is in a totally different class than the rest of them. He meant out of anyone that isn't a godly Prime.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Knew you were a smart one. ['Bee it is so good to see you. You have no idea.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

It is one of my primary functions. [To be an insufferable smart aleck.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

What? You mean crying was not? [Oh you're hilarious, Ironhide.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

That's my secondary, but the insinuation hurts my feelings. I might have to prioritize.
