[banging fists on table] MORE ROBOT DRAMA MORE ROBOT DRAMA MORE ROBOT DR
Who: riptide and some other dudes
When: after magnus's post
Where: riptide's room
What: sad fish boy
Warnings: cw for possible discussion of war, violence, ptsd, generally the depressing shit you get with these metal tittybabies
a. magnus
[accepting his fate, riptide allowed magnus to drag him to his room, no longer fighting.
if he had more knowledge of the situation, he would respond differently. he doesn't, though, and all he knows is he takes part in something that results in all his friends being left for the djd. after everything he's experienced in regards to tarn aboard to moira, after everything everyone has done for him, he was still stupid and selfish enough to leave them all for dead.
what the fuck did getaway say to him?
these are things that riptide will wonder about until he's physically unable to stay awake anymore, but for now he just lets whatever's going to happen to him happen.]
b. megatron
[they didn't finish the wall.
riptide eventually gets sick of laying on his bed staring at it like a useless sack of shit and gets up, sliding off the berth to carefully press at the edges still sticking out awkwardly.
he still thinks the table looked fine where it was.
sighing, riptide gets to work. missing brainstorm and nautica intensely for a moment before telling himself he doesn't deserve to.]
c. anyone else
[you want this sad fish? come yell at him in his room. he's not leaving.]

no subject
Yeah.
[ Rodimus looks like he's keeping it together, but his body language really gives it away. His spoiler is rigid on his back, a slight tremor shaking through it. He's ready to burst. ]
What I'm saying is that I trusted you, one hundred percent. I let you into my ship-- my private ship. I drank with you. I celebrated with you. I fought by your side. I even saved your life, without you knowing. Megatron is an aft, but he treated you well.
I want to ask one thing. How long has this been going on?
no subject
Getaway... asked just after the second launch. I didn't know what he was doing or planning - just that something was going on. Magnus told me about something that happened with Tailgate after we got back from the Necrobot's planet, but I swear I had no idea about that.
[he shudders.]
I took them out on the oil and all. I--
[he looks at his hands.]
Long enough.
no subject
He was trying to get Tailgate killed.
[ Long enough. The words echo in his head like a horrible bell. Licks of flame dance over his clenched fist. ]
Why?
no subject
[he wants to think he wouldn't, anyway. riptide is now terrified of what getaway could've said to him.]
M...Megatron.
no subject
You're a traitor and a thief!
no subject
[he jerks back at the hit, staying facing away from rodimus and panting slightly.
a thin line of energon drips down from riptide's split jaw and onto the berth. he stays still for a moment, shuddering slightly.]
--I... know.
no subject
[ Rodimus's anger was boiling over now. He could hardly think straight. Sideswipe would probably come in at any moment. ]
You come onto my ship and you join in on a conspiracy to kill a man who was my prisoner. But-- but that's not just it, isn't it? [ He taps on his chest ] Me too, right? Right? I've made my mistakes, I'm a bad captain, but I would have done anything for you!
no subject
He only... asked about Megatron. [riptide groans, rubbing his jaw.] That's all I know, that it was focused on him.
no subject
[ His plating flares slightly, his perception of Riptide bullshitting him really getting him going. ]
No one plans a mutiny without planning to take out who's in charge. But that's just-- That's just fine. I deserve it. I let the crew down. But what I find most unforgivable is getting the others mixed up in this. Ten for god's sakes! What has Ten ever done to anyone? Or Swerve? His only crime is diluting the engex.
no subject
[yelling hurts his jaw, but he can't stop.]
What do you want, a complex laid out plan?! I'm a fragging moron, Rodimus! Do you really think even if everything had happened for me that I'd be someone Getaway would share the details?! You want to wail on me some more to feel better? Fine, just don't expect me to magically have your fraggin' answers.
no subject
[ He's not even sure what he wanted. He was emotional and it hadn't even happened for him either. All he can think about is Getaway and what he did, and what he'll do. It drives him nuts. ]
You're smarter than you think, Riptide. Brains aren't all good spelling or the ability to make a magic time machine out of briefcases. Yeah, maybe you weren't Getaway's confidant, and it hasn't happened yet, but you're smart enough to know what a mutiny is.
And you gotta live with that.
no subject
I know. And I'm on the ship with everyone I betrayed.
