shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

-a paw comes out and grabs the ruststick. yay food-

 

-!!??! it goes back and forth a few times, beeping excitedly-

 

What's diplomacy and how is it going to try to kill me. [Somehow, text displayed on her visor manages to be deadpan. The utter lack of visible mobile faceparts probably helps.]

 

-laughs at it-
[Its a portal]

 

[Awww. Updraft also summons a ruststick for himself to crunch away on]

[He uses the dreamspace quirks to summon up a definition of 'diplomacy' for Congessi's benefit]

1. 
   

 

-attempts to drive a truck through twitter's headquarters, despite being a made up word on an iphone screen. also despite being in Florida while twitter is based in San Francisco- YO WHATUP I GOT PERFECTLY NORMAL-SIZED HANDS! LARGE-ISH, EVEN!!!

 

[She in turn projects a definition on her visor, rave magic only ensuring the text doesn't become too small to see.]

 

Oh. I assume some sort of trauma reaction? [Eyy medic mode activated. Though, on second thought if that is the case why was anyone letting her have a ranged weapon, that sounds like a prime recipe to get more people into medbay. Also CC really has his work cut out for him on the ship.]

 

No. [Maybe. Even if it is she's not telling a stranger, even here.] Ask @Aurora of Vos. [Aurora promised not to tell. But Ups doesn't know that, does he?]

 

If he is your medic or therapist he won't be allowed to tell me, at least not without your express consent. [Which is only good and proper really, and the fact that Congessi does apparently receive some sort of treatment does make his protocols quieten down bit again]

 

Correct. Point stands: not getting anything out of me that you can't get out of him.

 

[he looks almost pained for a moment because he wants to help, slag it] If you insist.

 

[There is a quiet miserable little whine from where Focal has his face buried in Updraft's chestplate.]
She shot at me, I only wanted to visit Jetski in the medbay, because we're friends! And she just shot at me. Who does that?

 

Me. And every other Licentan with a healthy sense of self-preservation. Who just waltzes into a private recovery room and doesn't expect the boundary to be protected?

 

[There there. Updraft keeps petting Focal's help] It is alright, that must have been very scary for you [and everyone else in the medbay, probably] It was a very stressful time for Congessi and she overreacted.

[He summons the words to read so that he can converse with her while soothing Focal] People who didn't grow up in active warzones, I imagine. That would be the downside of a mixed faction mission.

 

The only war I'd ever heard of before I left ended centuries before I was forged. Try again.

 

Places that are not labeled open warzones as such can still produce a lot of the same effects and processor stresses than a war would. Traumatic experiences are not confined to actual large scale conflict.

 

Not trauma. Already said. [Silverburst would disapprove of the lie, but Silverburst is dead and their opinion doesn't matter.]

 

[Updraft is clearly not buying this but arguing is obviously not going to get him anywhere] If you say so. [Probably best to handle Focal for now, who seems a lot more shaken by the whole ordeal, which makes sense considering how young he is]

 

Someone normal?!!!! Do you not know how friends work? You can't keep him all to ourself forever! It's not like I'm hitting on him! He's cute but not that cute, I don't want him as an amica I just wanted to make sure he was alright! Because I was scared half to greying when I heard he got hurt!

Stressful my aft!!! I'll show her stressful! Jetski was already getting treatment and she was allowed to be in the room with him, that's practically a cruise as far as this kind of stuff goes!
