shitposting rave 3: Dawn of the third rave

[he gives a not-exactly-convinced-but-thankful nod]

 

-holds up paws in a "Cool it dude" mimic.- Awrigh, awright. Just offerin´ta help cause I know bodymods.

 

I feel like I'm missing context here but if you do for some pitsforsaken reason pull out reffy's fangs (please don't, I'm fond of them) Please do it under medical supervision or something? Not Sawbones necessarily, but...

 

[Noofing Ref means she doesn't have to answer that, right?]

Registering very biased disagreement.

If we need help, we'll ask a medic we both trust. Won't be soon (if at all) anyways, I'm not...

Tess rust me out, I shouldn't have tried humorous insincerity, fine, I get it!

 

Would ya kindly explain what the frag yer goin on about fer the rest of th´class?

 

... Is this like a thing on Licentus? :o Did Refractor say something wrong?

 

...yes is thing, no Ref said nothing wrong. Is...

...mm. Is... a dedication, to offer not only resources but parts of one's own frame. Not quite as intimate as a full bonding ceremony, but... a promise, a declaration of intent. "We are as one," visible to all. Shouldn't have tried to joke about it, probably.

 

I see. Sorry, didnßt know that. in Kaon, t´was a way of showin´ya belonged with someone ta get yer mods ta match them. Not conjunxway, more like a crew. Th´gangs did it lots.

 

[overheating laptop noise intensifies]
... not sure which parts similar enough in size to not mess with transformation...

 

Mm. Might lend a part to a crewmate if necessary, but exchange means... a lot. More than just giving.

...hm. Point. If we actually for-real get that far, we... we can talk that out, maybe? [She's still hiding her face in his neck, but the overheating laptop noises are now in stereo.]

 

If ye´ll take advice from someone what´s done a bodymod or a hundred, use somma th´smaller fangs in th´back. Ya won´t miss em much an they´ll make an impressive set a main fangs fer Congessi here.

 

I see. Look, if or when ya wanna do any a that, I ain´t gonna bother ya but if ya tell me I´ll make sure ya got sterile tools and a piece a medbay ta work with. Will ya do dat fer me?

 

[poor bug has to hide his face even more because oh no that mental image is hot. Who knew internal fans could reach mach speeds.]

 

So you don't trust me?

 

...suggestion noted. Thanks.

Why? We have access to... at least two trusted medics, why go through a stranger? (Also, define: "sterile"?)

[Makes sure she's not blocking any vents but otherwise stays pressed right up against him. Reffy is Safe and no one needs to see quite how bright her own visor is.]

 

Refractor trusts people too easily.

 

...well. I mean. We had about... three conversations before deciding to court, I... can't really call that a bad thing even if it's probably not the best for survival.

 

-facepaws- Fer the sake of Primus an his little dinobots, please go through onne yer medics then. Doesn´t gotta be me just as long as someone what knows medicine is takin care a you. Sterile means not infested with fraggin rustplage or otherwise likely ta rot th´fangs right back outta yer mouth. Meaning fraggin sterilized before and during th´procedure.

 

"Sterile means sterilized." Very useful. =P

...why would tools be rusted??? Rusting tools break easily, useless, also dangerous to the medic attached to them?? Why???

 

-he contrived to go a little pale, even though he is a giant robot, through spr magic-
You know the device I run over yourself, my hands, and the surfaces you're on before I examine you? That creates a sterile environment - one which is free from pathogens. It means that bad healing and infection are far less likely. Please... don't do anything medical in a non-sterilized environment unless it is an emergency.
