a. elsa

[riptide wakes up with a start, and immediately starts panicking. he pushes himself out of the cyro tube and collapses, venting heavily and rapidly while looking around in confusion. someone was right over him, where-- did he keep his promise? a whimper escapes him as he can't help but remember the quantum lost light and the mutilated corpses of it's crew.]

Luke! [it's not exactly what riptide meant to yell, but it was the first thought that came to mind. luke had been kicked and-- killed him? his rapid venting slows down as the clear memory of his spark chamber being ripped out pushes itself to the forefront of his mind. riptide hunches in on himself for a moment, then stops. hissing in irritation and pain - his arm, his arm is still broken. shakily holding it up, riptide watches as the energon and oil from his snapped fingers rolls lazily down his forearm.

he doesn't really know what to do. he hates himself for baiting that decepticon into attacking him and is too currently too scared to even stand up and go to see what's going on. even worse, luke and god knows how many other people could be dead because he couldn't stop himself from running his mouth. luke just wanted to help.

pressing his non-broken hand to his face, riptide lets out a garbled sob. this month has been the worst.]


b. megatron

[he'd wanted a good while longer to figure out what to say to megatron. there was no way riptide was just going to ignore his existence and let him off the hook for that guy.

unfortunately for riptide, his shitty luck continues. he's not half way down the corridor before he recognises the iconic shape of the buckethead and his optics widen, not really knowing what to say. can he just... scooch past the guy? probably not.

a wave of emotion hits him in the chest before he can even process it and he immediately yells:]
WHERE WERE YOU?!

[he doesn't actually blame megatron for not answering, despite everything.]

c. open-ish? kinda? u know who u are

[he's only been back online for about three hours but riptide is already exhausted. it feels like less than ten minutes ago he was being ripped to pieces and combined with the amount of emotions and what he woke up expecting to see, riptide is almost entirely spent already.

clomping to his room and ignoring absolutely everyone who might try and interact with him on the way in, he gets up onto the berth and lays down, staring at the wall. he knows he won't be able to fall into recharge just yet, but laying here and not moving seems like the next best thing.]

Whatever Tarn's known for, I don't think he was known for doing it to... to you. [Probably? Megatron would have said, right?] You can feel any way you want about it.

[Luke's just gonna assume that's hyperbole, bro.]

Um, yes. He faced trial and was given the maximum sentence.

I... don't know what that is. So, no. [Also, what the fuck are Transformers.] It was solitary confinement, and something called... [Don't fuck it up, be a serious Jedi, remember the name of the thing. You can do it.] Fool's Energy?

[Nailed it.]

That won't happen. [Luke is... somber, but serious. He, at least, believes what he says.] I'll do everything in my power to make sure of that. You have my word.
t65: (wwwwwwhhh)

[Luke just kind of. Sighs. Which he can do now without it hurting.]

I know. [Or, he doesn't know, but he's not surprised.] I can't ask you to be hopeful, or patient, or optimistic, or any of those things. I just know I'm glad you're back here with us.

[Luke frowns.]

I don't mind the way you are now. Like I said, I'm just happy you're here. [If you ever want to talk... no, don't say it. It's probably too much.] I like talking to you, whatever mood you're in.
