[Video] Latter half locked to Braves
[After his recent conversation with Kagerou, Deckard went looking for Drill Boy again. After all, there's not been anything he can do about the virus running around except avoid catching it. Though he HAS been on-call if anyone needs him. He made sure to tell people he was going out and to call him. In the meantime, he's searched all over Haven. He's searched all along the edges of the wastelands and even into them a little. Nothing. He came back to HQ for fuel and . . . can't help but be sure that he's found his answer.]
[It's not the one he wanted, though it's the one he knew deep in his heart was the truth.]
[The video comes on to him sitting at his desk with a monkey in his arms. He's opened his Link and...it still takes him a second to completely gather himself and manage to speak.]
Drill Boy . . . he's . . . I-I think he's . . .
[With a sudden scowl and shake of his head, he darts a hand forward to his Link and the video cuts. H-he can't.]
[Sorry . . . this is his first time losing someone. And it's one of his own. He can't help feeling that he's failed his team somehow, even though rationally he knows - he's been told - that this just happens sometimes and that there's nothing he could have done.]
[Several minutes later, there's a LOCKED video to McCrane, Power Joe, and Kagerou. He's regathered himself . . . though McCrane especially might notice that he looks a little too close, emotionally, to places he's been before. The look on his face is...a little on the hard side.He has really poor coping mechanisms for darker emotions like grief and abandonment.]
Brave Police, sound in.
...please.

[Albert's trying to be diplomatic about the poor guy's loss, monkey questions aside.]
[Video]
Thank you, Double-Oh Four.
((ooc: I…don't think Albert's ever told Deckard his real name yet, hence the designation. ^,^;;;))
[Video]
((OOC: Yep definitely didn't tell Deckard.]

[Video]
It'll take some time.
[Video]
[He's not arguing at least. He just…it's still too fresh to deal with it quite fully, not the way he knows he "should".
That and he…really doesn't know HOW to at all.][Video]
[Video]
[He doesn't know what else to do, though.
Baby sentient is still learning the copes.][Video]
[Video]
Thank you, Double-Oh-Four. I think I'd like that, actually.
[As a robot, he knows he can't get drunk, per se
he's momentarily forgotten the sight of Blurr and Skyfire a few months ago, but the offer's appreciated and the company would be good for him.][Video]
[Anything to help, man.]
[Video]
Sure. The Hub? Unless you know of somewhere else that would work.
[Video]
I'll see you there.
[Video]
((ooc: Action? Handwave? Applesauce? 8D))
[Video--Action]
[Action] LOL Deckard's probably going to get severely drunk, oops. XD
[Soon after, Deckard's standing in the doorway scanning the room. He spots 004 and crosses to him, switching out the stool next to him for one that will take his weight. He's never really sat down next to a human as an equal before . . . it's kind of nice.
He's still too used to being seen as less than by most.]Thank you, Double-Oh-Four. I hope you weren't waiting long.
[Action] poor guy probably needs it
Not too long. So what'll it be? Energon or do you drink something else?
[Action] LOL pretty much! XD;;;
[Deckard gives a bit of a rueful grin.]
I had to be converted to energon from gasoline when I first arrived.
[To the bartender:]
Whatever you have, I suppose. Thank you.
[And back to Albert:]
How have you been doing? I'm sorry I've not had a chance to visit with you since that incident shortly after the Pillar.
[Action]
[Sip.]
But I'll be honest, I've been trying to sort things out. Make sense of things after that talk with Vector.
[Action]
[Deckard nods at the thanks, accepting it without acknowledging it much more than that. He guesses that'd been rather embarrassing for the young man so he doesn't want to seem to "make" anything of it. The last gets a bit of a frown of concern.]
Talk with Vector? You mean Vector Prime?
[It's clarification, but also an offer to share if 004 wants to, without outright asking him to.]
