shitposting rave 4: (almost) anything goes

Look, Doc, if I know medics nothing I say is gonna reassure you. But also: frag you, I'm dead, I can do what I want! Including learn new dances off Refractor!

 

-turns away from Starscream, Lacuna can have her weird snooty officer friend but he doesn't have to like it-

Just did, darlin'. Don't know why somebody thought it was necessary to show somethin' like that. Would have thought most'a the ship saw enough blood.

 

-cackles- I've only been here a li'l while! Nothin' before that was my fault!

 

Daddy, the squishy is not taking responsibility so I gotta take it for him!

 

"No part of your life is a lie," Ford tells her. "As long as I've known you, you've never lied to me and you've always done your best to live up to what you believe, and the things you believe are good things. It doesn't matter where they came from. It matters that they're true."

 

Hippolyta, that's... Not how responsibility works. You can't take responsibility for someone else's actions - or lack thereof.

Well. It's better than some things.

Dancing is far from the worst thing you could do, that's true.

 

Exactly!!! [Indignant bird is indignant. He's allowed to dance!!! He is!]

 

No Reason Only Tantrum Now.

... And I For One Welcome Our New Robot Overlord.

 

vwhy are vwe obsessing ovwer the seedy preteen.

 

Well, there's that, at least.

-sighs-
While I'm very proud of you for being so good at taking responsibility, you can't be responsible for everything, sweetspark. Your powers do give you more responsibility than most, that's true, but someone else's religion will never be part of those responsibilities.

And we're arguing because...? It's a bad example for Hippolyta, so I'm going to stop.

 

Ford sighs. "We don't have a new robot overlord. We've just got us. House Courinna. And you've got a little courinna who needs you, so don't throw too big of a tantrum, okay?"

 

But daddy- but daddy, caer said that if you're a god- or a demi-god- or a hero- then you got to take responsibility and help people! And the squishy doesn't want to be a hero so I'll be a hero for him!

Why daddy? He doesn't want it!

Other squishy says yes!

 

Because it sounded like you wanted me to not dance with him...? We can drop it if you want, just. [He shrugs, a little awkward. Way to jump the gun, A+ dude.] Eh.

 

*Staring at the broken remains of the bow*
D --> It is too late for that
D --> This is not much of a bow anymore

 

Yeah. Sorry.

 

-he gives her a filthy look-
Hippolyta is... Well, I'm not sure how you figure time, but quite young. I'd appreciate it if you didn't encourage her.

Helping people is good, but there are some things that people have to work out on their own. I could have carried you everywhere, but you learned to walk, right? And now you can go places without me as long as I or Caer know where that is. Some things are like that - religion is one of them.

Oh, no, dancing is fine. I suppose I was worried you were going to cause the kind of chaos one associates with stories of the undead. I apologize for that.

 

Mrghm. I Wanna Stay On The Floor Though.

[Weakly raises an arm]
Woo.
[... Wow The lack of motivation would be enough to cause a small anomaly]

 

-sits on her other side, offering comfort. He is careful not to slip into trinemate territory-

 

-looks honestly rather distressed- But daddy, who is going to take responsibility for the squishies?

 

Ain't nothin' to say sorry 'bout. You didn't send it 'round, didja?
