shitposting rave 2, electric boogaloo

Flux, want my medical grade?

JOKING, just in case Triage can see this. He said he'd strap me down and keep me on a tube if I didn't drink my energon.

Aft.

 

Feeling still isn't the same as being, sweetspark.

Oh that's a charming visual. Remind me to be fussy and polite every time I'm forced to get medical care.

Drink your fragging cube or I'll shove it up your afthole.

 

Cool it big cat, ain't sayin'm gonna stop drinkin' jus' sayin you don't need t'worry 'bout them givin' me enough.

Don't love ya enough t'drink that slag for ya.

 

Fine, I'm drinking it now.

One, two, three...

...ugh, I think it's gonna come back up.

 

What's this energon, you all are talking about? Can all robots drink this?

 

I cannot and I am a robot. From what I have gathered it is their fuel.

 

Oh, well, in that case, I'll just stick to some good ol' Nuka Cola. *pulls some Nuka Cola out of his trench coat and starts drinking*

 

-ears perk up like a cat seeing treats- Vould hyu haf enny more ov dot?

 

Energon is a substance that comes in both liquid and crystal forms, which is vital to our functioning. It's somewhat analogous to blood, in that it runs through our fuel lines, but we drink it in varying purities as well. (We also can drink oils and some mineral deposits are popular solid foods, and energon can get be modified chemically into engex, which is a mind-altering substance similar to ethanol for organics.)

I don't believe non-Cybertronian based species can drink it, but it is apparently seeded across the universe, so who even knows anymore.

Also, it doesn't degrade or go bad unless it's been modified from it's original base state. Which means that you can just fly over a corpse field if you must and it's been a particularly dry spell. I think that's frowned upon these days.

 

-he shrugs-
They didn't have to get the shot. That was their choice. They could have had the fuel, instead - it's more efficient, if time-consuming. If they were being a pain in my aft, though, they got a pain in theirs. Only fair.

Feel free to be polite to the staff, though. Especially if you get Celsius. She's a wonderful nurse, and terrifyingly efficient, but also just terrifying sometimes.

 

I think I met her when I passed off my medical records. I like her. Very professional and very discreet, which is something I value.

 

Can I have rust balls to get the taste out, please.

 

Yes, that sounds like her. We're very lucky to have her onboard.

 

[Wordlessly passes her a carton of them.]

 

I love you!

 

-he offers her some-
Pretty much always got some on hand, darlin'. Ask whenever y'like.

- whoops, looks like you got it covered. Never mind.

 

...you're pretty okay, too!

 

-he laughs-
I'll take it. Heard worse, that's for sure.

 

I mean... I know I have to drink the energon, it's not like I'm ignoring the damage, but it tastes like bug.

 

Yeah, I got Cherry, Original, or Quantum.

Thanks for the info. It's nice learning about different forms of...consumption.
