[Video/action for those in the medbay] The medbay, Solus's temple


[This fine day you all are graced with the view of the medbay. But the view is not as interesting as the sounds you can hear. There’s…a lot of screaming.

A small droid passes by in front of the camera, clearly running away from the odd pair of naked humans freaking up out and yelling at each other. In all honestly, the woman is the one doing most of the yelling, as well as holding the man by the upper arms and shaking him.]


I-I don’t know-

What do you mean you DON’T KNOW!? Look at us! My body, my precious frame ruined! I’ve been in the medbay since all this started and the only one who left and came back was YOU. If this madness is caused by some sort of disease then you brought it here! You better find a way to fix this quickly Fracas or I swear to Primus…

[She raises a hand in anger, just to notice that she has no longer claws but red painted fingernails. Perfectly manicured maybe but not as long as his usual pointy fingers.] I can’t even turn my arm into the buzzsaw!

[The man lets out a slightly reedy yelp, bringing one suddenly-freed hand up to defend his head.] … Thank PRIMUS for small favors! How can I fix it, Knock Out?! I don’t even know what caused it, but maybe if you stopped SHAKING ME I could figure it out!

[He pauses, suddenly looking at his hands.] What am I supposed to do with all these extra fingers?! … Wait. [He brings his hand down to touch his face cautiously.] Oooh no no no no no no no…!

[Meanwhile, McCoy is just heading into work, ready to start another fun day on this alien planet he's stranded on-- When his wide eyes fall on the very human Knock Out and Fracas. Who are both very naked. He stands there a moment, looking both horrified and confused, before his cheeks turn red.]


Good God! Who the Hell are you people!?
[He waves a hand at Knock Out and Fracas] And where the Hell are your clothes!?

((OOC: Fracas is in purple, MCCoy is blue and Knock Out is in red. All of Fracas’s responses will be from expendablemechanic. Feel free to reply to them here or come to the medbay )

[Oh for the love of... Fracas, after hyperventilating for a few moments, manages to collect himself. He can handle this whole 'visible face' thing! Totally!
... Eventually!
For now there is something else to deal with. Like the guy that just walked in.]

I'm Fracas, and that's Knock Out. We... we're usually not humans. I, uh. Do you have any idea how this could have happened?

[Clothes? ... Naaaaah.]

I'm a Vehicon I don't m- [Oh is that... is that KO's attention? Fracas backs up slightly, rubbing his neck and looking down.]

Old injury. It's been like that for a long time. But I function perfectly fine with just one! Just... have depth perception issues. [He does not even consider that she might have a less-than-medical interest in his condition.]

[Fracas makes a short noise, hands twitching up as his chin is grabbed. Even if it's gentle, it's still a little startling... possibly even because of how careful it is. There are scars in the area around the eye that suggest a blade or a glancing shot from a projectile.]

Here? N-no, it was a long time ago. Before I transferred into Maintenance. It's why I transferred in the first place. Some Autobot back home... got a good hit in. That's all. [But he'd been able to walk away and didn't want to endanger any of the other Vehicons more than he had to.]

[No no, this is quite all right.]

I'm a Vehicon. No one cares what happens to us. Not anymore.

[He'd heard that Breakdown had been kind to others like him, to a point. Until that whole thing with Airachnid. Other than that, though, Fracas never met anyone that cared about Vehicons before coming here.]

I know. I never expected it to be fixed. I just... I didn't want any of the others getting hurt on account of my blind spot, and Autobots usually don't pay attention to the ones doing repairs to the ship. [It was the best route he could think of to go. It kept him - and everybody else - out of trouble. And if he hears any sort of apologetic tone to that... he'd definitely be crazy.
Or still panicking and hearing sympathy because he needs it. That's probably it.]

[personal profile] expendablemechanic 2013-03-16 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
That's not always true. [He knows Knock Out used to have that. And some Vehicons still form connections with each other, as ill-advised as that is.]

Keh. There weren't many people that would miss me. Nobody even knew I existed. [That was how Vehicons worked, after all. One of them was killed, no one cared; they'd be replaced quickly. They were just bodies.]

All right. Uhm, thank you sir. [As if he'd say something like that to anyone.]

[personal profile] expendablemechanic 2013-03-16 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Even Vehicons try to look out for each other, sometimes. It doesn't make much difference, but... [But sometimes it's nice to think that someone cared at least once.]

I doubt anyone would bother anyway, with how many of us there are. We can tell each other apart, though, for the most part. [It's a trick of looking for familiar scratches and dents. Would it be one of those sweet paintjobs like the jets started getting]
expendablemechanic: (Sooooo Bored)

[ Action ] Isn't it just? He rather likes it.

[personal profile] expendablemechanic 2013-03-19 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. We're just... all in the same boat, you know? We know what's expected of us and that no one else... gets it.

Well, sometimes mechs end up with similar scratches on their armor. The same dent on their shoulders. [That would be kind of nice...]
expendablemechanic: (Are You Like... A Crazy Person)

[ Action ] That would be so cute. Best mug ever

[personal profile] expendablemechanic 2013-03-20 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Fracas actually manages a snort and a slight grin at that.]

It's not like anyone thinks we're intimidating anyway, really. Not even the Autobots, anymore. They've all told me. Well, most of them, anyway.

[Heck, even one the Megatrons didn't get it.]

... You'd really do that for me?
expendablemechanic: (... Are We Keeping Track of the What?)

[ Action ] Puts his energon in it

[personal profile] expendablemechanic 2013-03-24 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
You only say that because I turn on the lights when there's an electrical error on the ship.

[Fracas shrugs in return.]

Well, it's just... I never really expect offers of help from officers...

[McCoy threw up his arms, still sputtered and confused and angry and his brows doing his usual wtf thing] Dammit, woman, I'm a doctor, not a magician! I don't know why you're human and-- [He quickly looks away, scowling] Will you please put some clothes on?

[He turned around, glancing around the medbay] Surely there's got to be something here we can put you in. You and your... [he looks at Fracas, frowns, looks away] Yeah, no, let's find some clothes right now before we do anything else.

Well, right now you're a woman. At least when it comes phys-- [It's not like he can help NOT looking at your breasts, they're just bobbing around, Christ. But, uh-- McCoy backs up, raising his hands.] How about we get you dressed first?

[He looked around, knitting his brows. Turned back to Knock Out.] Right. Stay here. I'll go... find something. I just gave the only bit of fabric I found to our new patient.

[He leaves, not expecting you to, you know, STEAL AMBULON'S SHEET.]

Yes, yes. [He shakes a hand angrily back at her, still looking around.] I know about sex and gender politics. I didn't get to finish because-- God, just let me go look. [He quickly marches off, huffing and puffing, face nice and red.]
