Gunmax, if you're here, sound in if you want your fragging bike back.
[Wow, someone sounds rather pissed. Someone's LOOKING rather the worse for wear, for that matter. Namely the fact that one whole wing seems to be missing from behind his shoulders. That could PRO~BABLY account for the pissy attitude too.]
Yeah, saw that too. At least he had good reason. We do need a headcount of who's here from Haven.
Hope Wing's here too, think Drift'll be happier if he is. [Awww, yay for new trines!]
Kinda what I'm wary of too. Don't know the guy, not sure I want him poking around in my systems. [That makes him chuckle, though.] Yeah, Knock Out's here, thank Primus. [At least he still has somebody from his world here.] I'm sure he'll do a good job on it.
Wow, Ravage is here? [He's a little happy to hear it, he was going to miss that energetic feline.] There was also Frank, Blurr's turbo fox, and Rotorstorm my firelizard. Both were unharmed, unlike us. Did yours arrive too? [He knows you had a bunch of firelizards.]
[Yes that too. Blurr could try to help with that but he has zero to non medical training, he doesn't want to make it worse.]
True but I really thing the people here wants to help. They don't seem surprised to see us or look at us with wariness or fear.
We had some crystal trees outside Solus's temple but not a whole forest. It must be impressive to see. Could you show it to me once you feel better? [TC you cutie.] I think I'm in that hospital, yes. Honestly? I'm not 10% sure I was kind of dizzy when I arrived.
Yeah. [He shifts to look over his shoulder, the camera moving with him. Back in a corner, perched on top of a tall cabinet, are four firelizards hissing and growling at anyone who gets "too close." Thundercracker chuckles, his tone amused.] They're not hurt, thankfully, but I think it's going to take them a bit longer to get over what's happened. They're pretty rattled.
Probably the same place then, yeah. Come find me when you're free. Don't think I'm going anywhere for a while. [small grin and a nod] And sure, I'll take you to the crystal forest. You'll like it.
AHAHAHAHAHAHHA never apologize, I love fake tags.> Change to Action?
[TC gives KO a cocked "really?" look.] I've had a vital body part forcibly ripped off. Forgive me for being at least a little patient. [At least his tone is more wry than aggravated at this point? He'd be being a LOT more aggravated if this were someone he didn't know, but...he knows KO, KO gets a LOT of little slack.]
[Thundercracker spots the medic, waiting for him to transform back to root mode and . . . frag his dignity or Knock Out's, the mech's getting a hug. And then the Seeker realizes what he's just done and lets go. But there's still an ease in his optics that wasn't there before.]
For what it's worth, Knock Out, I'm glad you're here.
[And then, almost as if to cover for that display of affection, he shifts and gestures at Gunbike, the severed appendage still propped in the sidecar.]
[TC settles to wait for Knock Out, is seen by the medic and they spend some time catching up with one another once KO's done all he's able to for now (what with healing not working), then they part ways for the time being. TC is sitting in a waiting room going through the network archives on his comm drone when Blurr arrives.]
[It a little bit sad that the building Blurr knows the best in the whole city right now happens to be the hops ital. It says a lot about his life.
After looking around for a bit he finally spots TC. It takes all his will power to not to run to the seeker and hug him.] Ey! Did they patch you up properly already?
[Blurr may not have run up and hugged, but he's come within arm's reach.]
[TC looks from the drone to his trinemate and nods.]
Yeah, as much as they could. [And indeed, his wing is attached, if not fully repaired yet.]
[Aaaand frag his dignity, he reaches an arm around Blurr's shoulders, pulling him in for a hug. It kind of looks like a sitting bear embracing a skinny six-year-old but whatever.]
Trinemate. It's good to see you.
[For as much as he'd tried to explain when he asked Blurr to be part of his trine, the word may or may not still mean much to the smaller mech. But the emotion in the Seeker's voice when he spoke should give some indication of what it means to /him/.]
Wha....[Okay what is this? What did you? Why....??????
KnocK Out's not used to hugs, Thudnercracker should be able to tell eaisly enough by the way he tenses up upon seeing another mech approaching him in such determined way.]
G-Good to see you too. [He's so taken aback that he doesn't even think about mocking TC for it. There was certain fondness in his voice.]
[C'mon, Knock Out, didn't you know that buried under all the Decepticon...well, /everything/, Seekers are generally a contact-oriented lot? With some - a lot? - of his walls down, finally, if only around certain people, those people will find him a little more touchy than they're used to seeing.]
[He does, at least, have the grace to look a bit "oops" that he did that, though. But he won't call further attention to it by apologizing now. He just nods and moves to sit down on a repair berth.]
Thanks. That explosion didn't frag you too much, did it?
[Oh he does that seekers are handsy but those time Starscream put a finger on him were all to scratch his finish or grab his face. But hugs are...okay-ish.
Knock Out just nods, acknowledging the unsaid apology and also moving on.]
No, I was far away from it thankfully. Were is your wing, you say?
Alright leave it tome. [Knock Out's going to take his time to inspect the wings first, checking for the damage in teh sensor noodles and usi8gn his wielding fingers to fix the major ones.]
I can't believe all this is happening to us again.
[Blurr startles but quickly lets go a heartfelt laugh and huge TC back. He even rubs their foreheads togetehr.]
It's good to you you too.
[It's true that he might not understand all the implications of accepting that bond, not being a seeker himself, but he woudl always try his best to honor it.]
[Though the checking and welding /hurts/, the former Decepticon Seeker's been in /far/ worse pain, plus he trusts Knock Out. So he just holds still to let the medic work. The comment, though, gets a snort.]
[He's trying his best to do it as painless and quick as possible but for some reason the repairs aren't working as he wants. Knock Out stops from time to time frowning and letting go a few 'hmmm'.]
I've been worse. Been better too but can't really complain. It's starting over again what's irritating.
