shitposting rave 2, electric boogaloo

Okay, but, have you considered she has a lot of anxiety she deals with (at least on the show) by organizing the world around her because it's more tangible than her anxiety?

 

I wouldn't presume to speak for real Pearl, though.

 

*in a mocking imitation of his voice*
Okay, But Have You Considered That She Is A Pain In The Ass? And Also That Im Exactly As Fucked In The Head As She Is?

 

...
No she's-- Yes she is a trained fighter but that does not mean she is a threat she just wants to be liked. She didn't want to kill all those people but they were stopping her from escaping and she feels bad about it, even though she keeps hurting people because she doesn't understand any other way to--

People love her.

 

...
I'm sure people just need to get to know her, right?

 

YEAH EXACTLY.

 

And give her a chance to show she doesn't destroy everything she touches. That she can build something too.
-Nichrome holds out a hand for Requiem-

 

Yes exactly.

*Takes the offered hand* Hi.

 

-holds his hand, squeezing it a little. Her optics scrunch up as she smiles under her mask-
Hi.

 

You're nice, also small.
Can you swim?

 

I've never tried to. What's it like?

 

Amazing!

It's a little like being in space, but heavier? You float, but you do sink and there's still gravity. I have ballast, fake swim bladder, lets me rise and sink depending on my need. Water is cool, less need for cooling systems but mine is water cooled just in case I guess? So many things live in the water, some fish try to eat my wires but most run away.

Big singing animals are great, the sea floor is either empty or full of life. Gorgeous life! Things that don't hurt me, mostly. Such tiny things and then very large things that even dwarf some ships! Very quiet, sound travels but it's different. In the dark I have to use lights, or sonar systems. It's still so quiet, and cool, and comforting.

I like it there, but it was lonely? Woke up the first time, dropped in water, job was commed to me. Find energon. Other bots are hard.

 

-sympathy fistbump?-

 

*she listens humming*
That sounds nice. I was onlined in a big city. Iacon's always busy, y'know? Or used to be I guess. Always noisy. Especially in the less pretty parts. Got thrown around a lot. Shitty jobs, shittier bars, but the company in the bars was nice. Got a soft spot for miners. Hard work makes most mechs appreciate small things differently.

 

Small things... like you? Dohohohohoho.

 

They did also appreciate me quite some, especially when I drank them under the table, yes.

 

Tell me truly, Cap. Do you really have extra fuel tanks for engex in your legs?

 

*laughs* who told you that?

 

Now now, I'm no snitch. Do you?

 

That's a secret between me and my medic, sweetspark. A lady keeps some mods secret.
