[Accidental Video] [Backdated to the 22nd]

[kungfugeek]

 [So...that date didn't go as planned, and it's just sinking in now that it was even a date at all. The fact that he'd worked hard to get up the courage to ask, let alone show up...that was enough for his A.I. to handle. But this planet...much like back home, found a way to make that a false hope. Something he'd never really get.  It's a bit of a downer, really.

Enough to make him pout at the junkpile. Why the junkpile? So he could toss things around in his power shovel form if he needed to release his anger externally. This way...no one got hurt. As for right now, though, he's curled up, sitting among a bunch of odds and ends, starting into the distance.]

...

[It'd hurt less if he hadn't arrived her moments after Lua.]


Hate this place.

What normal people do! Dinner, dancing! Walks on the beach!


[Knock Out SERIOUSLY.]

[deadlydoctor]

Walks on the beach....

Primus, you really are neive. It's almost cute.

[You are the oen being absurd, not him!]

[kungfugeek]

What, it's suddenly not a date cause it's not what you do?

[deadlydoctor]

It's not that. [Knock Out shakes his head and chuckles.] You date people like a 12 years old would.

I fail to see why you can't go have dinner or go to the beach with the mech you asked out. Why is 'he' less valid than a 'she'?

[He just can't see the problem, sorry Power joe.]

[kungfugeek]

I know plenty of adults who go on dates just like that!

...

Because I don't like guys like that! I didn't ask a 'guy' out. I asked 'her' out.

[deadlydoctor]

Really? Tell me who.

Does that mean that you only cared about her body? That actually says a lot about you.

[kungfugeek]

McCrane and Seia. Dumpson and Ayako.


...

What? No! That's not what I'm saying at all! I mean yeah she's beautiful but...I just don't like guys!

What, if someone you liked suddenly turned human, would you still like them? Would you still want to...you know...interface?

[He learned that word from Arcee.]

[deadlydoctor]

Wait, mcCrane has a girlfriend? [oh god, tell him everything.]

Who is she, by the way? I'm curious about what sort of mech is your type, bunny.

That's not a proper comparison. Organics and Cybertronians are two different species. If my possible partners decided to upgrade their design or start using a different set of pronouns to address themselves then no, I wouldn't really have a problem with it.

Now you know what interfacing is?

[Oh boy, that was sure a lesson I bet.]

[kungfugeek]

Yeah, well...a lady friend I guess.

Point is, you prefer one over the other, right?

Arcee...her whole personality changed when it happened. Her appearance changed and sh--he said things about her. Guys--'mechs' are different than girls sometimes, no matter what you say about pronouns.

...



[He rubs the back of his head.]

I still had the date with him. It just didn't feel the same. I can't...explain it, really.

[deadlydoctor]

Tell me about her, please. [So he can ask McCrane all the uncomfortable questions alter.] How does she looks like, what does she do...

Species wise? Yes. Gender or whatever you call it...no.

I'm guessing you don't mean the Arcee from my world. I have yet to meet her. You seem really troubled about those things she said. What was it? [For once Knock Out doesn't look like he's going to mock Power Joe.]Yeah, they're usually ten times more vicious.


No, I think I'm starting to get it. Arcee is back to being a she now, I take it. Ask her again, have another date, see how it goes. Give it a try again, what could go wrong?

[kungfugeek]

Nuh uh, you're gonna have to ask him about it.

[There's a sly smirk, Knock Out. He's making you work for your juicy gossip. McCrane's too much of a bro.]

Heh, it's funny...it's the opposite with me. I mean...I was made by humans anyway, I'm not even a species. Does it even apply to me?



[A pause, though, as his head lowers.]

They were pretty bad. I almost wanna make it up to her. Somehow.

[deadlydoctor]

Be sure I will. [I hope you are proud of what you did, Power Joe, telling Knock Out about McCrane's lady. He will pester the poor bot until he gets some information.]

That's a good point. I guess not? Just be whatever makes you happy, it's what I always do.

That bad? Why don't you figure out what sort of thinks she likes? That's usually a good start. Surprise her with something.

[kungfugeek]

[McCrane has more patience for it, at least. And you'll get more info from the source than him.]

...Surprise her with something?


What do...you guys like? What do you get surprised by?

[deadlydoctor]

[It's good to have patience when you talk with Knock Out.]

Yes. Depends on the mech. We like racing,sharing some drink, buffings...Personally, I don't get surprised by anything anymore. You could ask Elita.

[kungfugeek]

!! Elita!

Yeah, I met her...she's a lot like Arcee, in some ways. That's a good idea, guy!


You know, for a doctor, you know your way around relationships.

[deadlydoctor]

You are welcome.

That's because I had a lot of them. Of all sorts. [Some much better than others.] If you want to ask more about Cybertronians or need some advice I'll listen.

NEVERMIND THAT IM A LIAR

[kungfugeek]

Heh, you got it.

You're not so bad after all, Red.

Pfff it's okay

[deadlydoctor]

I'm better that most people give me credit for. [Granted, he can also be much worse.]

Good luck with your date, Bunny.
