[Surprise. A video feed from the local recluse. Bird-ninja. Robot. Anyway.]

[After a certain conversation with someone who will remain nameless, certain concerns have arisen.]

[... Never mind he's sitting in a medbay, hooked up to a generator, no. There are far more important things to consider than that.]

When you refuel... where do you put it? [After a beat, he clarifies.] Those of you who weren't made by humans.

Do you drink it? Or... do something else?

[THIS IS IMPORTANT OKAY. For friendship purposes.]

You drink it! ...When you have a mouth.

I'm not quite the target audience since I was made by humans, but I do it like humans do.

[She squints slightly.]

Why so curious about the refueling habits of other robots?

...

So what do you do?

Well, I have a mouth again, so it's no big. But when I didn't, I had a fuel location in my neck I could use.

I, uh. Used to drink in private. Didn't wanna freak anyone out. S'not usual.

[WOW you're strange looking. But... he turns into the Batmobile, he's really in no place to judge.]

You drink it?

[He shifts a bit.]

I was... told I was doing it wrong. I wanted to check.

Drinking, then.

[Maybe he was doing it wrong.]

Why would they 'freak out', if it's what you needed to do?

Yeah, it's usual among Cybertronians, far as I know.

...Well, I had to get modded in order to drink and I thought it looked weird. I dunno if they would have actually freaked, but better safe than sorry.

Yeah. Well, eat it, technically. I recharge with energy crystals.

[:c Now that's not nice.]

Hey, refueling is refueling. There's no wrong way to do it. But just for curiosity's sake, how do you refuel?

I see. Then maybe she was right.

... I wouldn't have been afraid.

She? Huh?

...Thanks, Kagerou. That means a lot.

Crystals?

She got very upset over it. [He then looks down. Pointedly.] In front. With a hatch.

Yes. She said we were friends. And was upset when she heard how I did it. I don't want to cause that again.

[Because FRIENDSHIP is important.]

It does?

Yes, they're small blue and green crystals. I convert those into the fuel I need.

Oh. OH. I see. Was she a human? Humans tend to be rather...weird about that.

Hmm. That sounds like probably Kay, if I know 'er like I do!

Sure it does. It means a lot that you'd... accept me for how I did it, even if it wasn't normal.

Yes. That's her.

[He tilts his head.] You did it for me. Why would I do it differently?

I've never heard of anything like that.

Yes. She's human. Are they always so odd about fuel?

We can drink, but we can also fuel using a generator hooked to our fuel lines in our arms.

[Ohai how are you doing.]

... Like this?

[He just. Holds up the wires he's hooked up to. But then blinks, and sits up a little more.]

You're speaking again.

I'm starting to realize I'm probably the only one here who needs them.

Well, it's...not the fuel they're weird about.

[Oh god is she really giving this robot the talk?]

That part of their anatomy is used for an entirely different function.

She's a great friend to have. Good pick, dude!

Mm, it's not that I'd assume you'd do it differently, but I guess I would never be sure how you'd react. I don't like makin' people wary or uncomfortable with me, so I try to tread carefully.

Do they exist here? I was told there isn't any gasoline... and so... [He gestures at the generator.]

I have to use this.

[But then she mentions different functions and... he looks... blank.]

[It's like you can hear it going WHOOSH over his head.]

I didn't pick. She told me we were friends.

[Not that he sounds upset about it, he's just clarifying.]

You haven't ever made me feel that way. I... trust you.

[These are not words he can say to just anyone.]

I hope so. I'm starting to get low on fuel.

[She winces. If Harpuia or Fafnir ever found out about this, she'd never live it down.]

That part of their anatomy is used for human reproduction. And for some reason humans get...embarrassed by anything that makes them think of it. And you refueling in that fashion...

Pretty close, yes. When we can't get our actual energon.

[Drift is, for once, staying flat on his back. Maybe Ratchet read him a riot act.]

Yes. Told you, Ratchet does good work. [A cautious smile.]

Have you asked?

[He still looks horribly confused.]
