(open) robots are stupid, i agree

Who: riptide and the newest pokemon..... you????!?!?
When: after the dumb adventure where the robot teenagers tried to ride a whale
Where: Around The Moira™
What: riptide's feelings of aimlessness are starting to resurface and he's been grounded to the moira for being stupid
Warnings: riptide



handy
[losing a limb, for a cybertronian, is a mild inconvenience at best. it's good that he didn't lose his original (it would be just his luck to have stumbled and dropped it back onto the planet's surface) but it's back on and functional. that's all that matters, really.

riptide is technically grounded, but he can be found sitting cross legged in the cargo bay, screwing around with his arm. laying his forearm flat on his thigh and flexing his fingers, twirling his wrist.

he may have made some very questionable choices recently, but right now all he needs is a quiet moment to work out some stiffness.]


just keep trying
[riptide is far too low on energy to be able to form his holoform, but he's trying regardless. he's in the observation deck; the hardlight avatar flickers into existence around his general area before cutting out after a few seconds.

you might catch riptide staring intensely your way while he tries to concentrate on getting it to focus. he's not doing it to be creepy, really, he just doesn't fully realise that not everyone would make the connection, or that he's even doing it.]


WILDCARD
[HIT THE BRAKES, WILDCARD!! hit me up on [plurk.com profile] jabbers if you want to discuss anything, otherwise go ahead!]

closed to sideswipe
[despite everything, riptide doesn't regret trying to ride the whale. sure, he lost his arm and they pissed off a bunch of people, but damned if it wasn't fun. sideswipe seemed to be a pretty cool dude on top of it all.

anyway, tailgate had kindly informed riptide before the event that sideswipe was his new room mate, and just about now was the only time they'd be in the room at the same time.

he's not exactly making an effort, or anything. he's just laying on the one single bed in the room on his back, playing games on his mid.]

Just forget it. Don't worry about it.

[Luckily the holoform holds his attention enough that he can try and forget about what just happened for the time being.]

What were you doing with that anyway?

Grounded? [Excuse Andrew's disbelieving look. Does he have some kind of robot-parents around or something? Well, anything is possible, he guesses...] That sucks.

[He's sympathetic to that, at least. Being grounded is the worst.]

I would suggest sneaking out but uh, you're kind of hard to miss.

[Also getting shot sounds bad.]
imanapexpredator: (do you like me)

[He can't help it, he snorts a little at the imagine of giant robots trying to ride giant whales.]

Oh. [Feeling guilty again for almost losing his shit.] Why're you having so much trouble?
