shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

[he's looking potentially even more distressed now, wings low and quivering a bit] That's terrible, those are all people, they have real sparks who the frag cares if they came out a well or some carrier's spark! [His hand snaps up immediately to cover his mouth he had NOT meant to say that oh that was bad, that was BAD]

 

[He lifts his hands in a shrug and then drops them. His wings have been stuck at Decidedly Neutral the entire time, though it's a little harder to maintain his composure when he apparently can't explain himself well enough.]

Then I will simply not engage with Venture on the subject of interface. I am... inept at communicating my reasons. Apologies.

...Carrier's spark? Was aware of future events with sparkbearing virus, but did not realize Updraft had already been affected.

 

[Don't point out Scanner's almost-apologizing or you'll never see it again. Shhh. Only cat cuddles now. And deflection.]

I am a delicate flower bro made of foil and bismuth

 

.................
Come again?

 

fragger was th´reason we never had enough a anythin in medbay.

-concern catte!- Hey, y´alright?

 

Should wrap you in bubblewrap and put you somewhere safe, honestly. Like top of the shelf where the pretty kitsch stuff goes. Maybe even put a spotlight on you.

 

[Venture tilts his head to look up at Updraft, more than a little concerned, but.... maaaybe not the time to poke. He settles a little more against the big guy's leg, though.]

I mean if it's just a "don't bother me at work" thing I can respect that but I don't
get
what you're tryna get at???

 

A shelf? I deserve a pedestal how dare. How very dare. [Sticking his tongue out over Sawbones' head is totally mature and a reasonable argument.]

 

My mech, pedestal supplies are at an all time low, the market is collapsing it's a real tragedy, we're all gonna have to put up with inconveniences like substituting shelves for pedestals and feeling a little less snotty about our art collections.

 

-no it´s an invitation to gently noof his mouth closed on it.-

 

[Frag, frag this is bad, this is bad he shouldn't... he's obviously not alright, his wings are shaking and his fans are spinning high in distress and the words almost rising up in his processor without meaning to he's been sitting on this so damn long it's like something lodged into a joint and it grinds...]

[No Triage doesn't get it, it's not a disease there's no fixing this, it's what he IS and what he's always been and he loves being a carrier because it lets him keep people so close and he hates what they did to him over it] It's not! a virus! It's a thing carrier sparks just do, we split, you keep taking the cassettes away and we keep splitting! And it fragging hurts like nothing else when they pull it out not that that ever stopped anyone from strapping me down and doing it!

 

[Scanner's optics flicker as he tries to pull the clues together and just arrives at error messages and confusion. What the frag]

 

... *Shifty eyes*

Yes.

 

I am having difficulty explaining. Less not bothering me, because I am capable of maintaining my attention regardless of outside events, and more that in the moment, a patient is vulnerable. I do not want to run the risk of complacency and assumption, thereby ending up harming someone who is in my care with my own false assumptions.

[Traige would give him a pat, but Updraft seems well surrounded by other mechs capable of giving A Pat instead. It'd be nice if he kept the hysterics down though.]

Apologies, I was unaware. It is unlikely that you will ever be forced to experience that again while on the TEAM, but it is regrettable that you were forced to experience it at all.

 

Awwwww. Well okay I guess in the name of pedestal rationing I will settle for three spotlights on my shelf.

[There is a noise best described as "startled microwave"--]

[--that quickly is drowned out by "fighty jet engine spooling". Who hurt the bae's crush?]

Spoiler: ANGER BIRB (image)

[Softly, with Intense feeling:] What the frag?

 

....
-Jetski stretches out his hand in questioning invitation-

 

*More shifty eyes and then he's quickly back in Turbofox mode and on his back. HELL. YES. SCRITCHES. No one can judge him but Primus himself.*

 

-intense scritching commences. aw ye-

 

-Sawbones growls-

Like Pit´s he will. Because if anyone tries I´m gonna rip his platin´off myself!

-cmibs up on his shoulders- I agree.

 

That's what checking in is for??? Have you literally never had a quick bang or
like seriously "you doin okay" is a valid question
