[locked from Sora]

[deadlydoctor]

[Those who know Knock Out well (or at least some of his past) might realize how strange is to see him asking for help or even showing what looks like worry about someone that's not him. He's surprised himself and really not in the mood after his fight with Sentinel, he will most likely shank anybody who uses this opportunity to mock him.]

I need someone with human medical knowledge and small hands. Smaller than mine, I can't take a blood sample with this. [He wiggles his sharp like fingers in front of the camera.]

Sora is sick and I can't run all the tests I need myself.

[Locked to Blackarachnia.]

This is not your doing, right?

[/Locked.]


[Locked to Sentinel.]

You are an aft.

Are you free tonight?

[/Locked to Sentinel.]

[TENTATIVELY:] Why?

audio, locked

[deadlydoctor]

Because Sora is out as a light at night and I need a distraction.

We could do something, go somewhere...[Do things like actual couples do. He's going to regret all this so much once the pink energon effects wear off.]

Re: audio, locked

[primest]

No.

[deadlydoctor]

It's cute when you play hard to get.

Re: Audio, locked

[primest]

That's not what's happening at all.

[he's sitting in his room with his head in his gross claw hands. oh my god.]

[Audio because what's the point of video at the moment]

[originaldragoon]

And here I thought we were done with people getting sick for a while...

How bad is he?

[audio - so true.]

[deadlydoctor]

Me too. I already tried the same cure I gave you for your illness but it has no effect on him.

Bad enough that he's doing what I say without complaining. [Imagine that.]

[audio]

[originaldragoon]

You would rather he complain the whole time? [KO you are so weird...]

It's probably not the same virus then.

[audio]

[deadlydoctor]

Complaining means that he has the energy to act like himself. This is not normal. [Oh Rose, you have no idea.]

That I figures. I still need a sample of his blood to run more tests. Could you help me with that?

[audio]

[originaldragoon]

The only way I know how to draw blood is with a sword. I doubt that will be the right way to do it for medical reasons.

[Not to mention how creepy a floating needle would be.]

[Sora, that nice lad who answered her questions? Sick? That is not a combo she likes. She should do something about it.

Except that while she knows her hair can cure old age and wounds, illness was something she had never needed to try to fix; after all, Gothel never much got sick with her daily doses of glowing hair, and Rapunzel had always been as healthy as a horse. There's some doubt on Rapunzel's part over whether she could even help beyond the "tiny hands" request.

However, the real million dollar question is whether she wants to reveal her power at all, especially to people whom she doesn't quite know if she could fully trust yet. Cybertron was still very new, and while she found the people she encountered pleasant enough, she still felt a general and constant sense of wariness.

But... illness could be the different between life and death, happiness and misery. Would his pain outweigh her selfishness? She'd probably find out after it's too late, given how unpredictable Gothel had made illnesses sound. Thus, despite her reservations, she decides that she can't sit idly by and not help someone -someone who had previously helped her- just because she's "worried".]

I don't know a lot about medicine per say, but... I can probably help him.

Audio

[deadlydoctor]

[Yes, that nice lad. Same guy who revealed knock Out that he could do magic with his huge key.

Really, she shouldn't be worried about the medic, he's seen everything: people get high using the blood of the god of destruction, zombies, Predacons raising from their tombs...very little things surprise him. Unless those are nice thigns. Knock Out's not so used to niceness.]

Rapunzel? Could you really? You have small hands, that for sure.

Audio

[tower_bound]

[Niceness is the name of the game, though her little secret might offer plenty of surprise yet.]

I think so. Though I don't think we'd need to rely on my hands that much... or medicine.

[deadlydoctor]

[Niceness is actually half the job when it comes to befriend Knock Out. being polite to him is key.]

Oh, I know...are you going to pull a fairy tale thing and give him a kiss? Because somehow I don't think that works outside movies.

[tower_bound]

[What's a fairy tale? What's a movie? Those are questions she should probably save for later.]

...No, that's just weird.

[Her lips are reserved for someone special, to boot.]

But I'm pretty sure it will work. I mean, it cures injury and aging, so surely it'll work on sickness.

[0perator]

Blood draws don't sound too complicated. I could help out.

[She's not gonna point out how worried he looks, she's seen Sora the snot-monster too.]

[Video]

[deadlydoctor]

I can assist you in the process. I just can’t hold the needle but I am an expert in the procedure.

[Don’t tell him he looks worried, Knock out will deny it forever.]

[Video]

[0perator]

I've got steady hands. I'll hop over. Unless you're busy?

[Making you squirm is for in person, Knock Out.]

[Video]

[deadlydoctor]

The kid's hugging my fingers, I can't go anywhere. [SO NEEDY THIS BOY WHEN HE'S SICK.

Aliaaaaaa o9] Be quick.

[Video]

[0perator]

Awwwww.. That's adorable.

[You walked right into that one, bro.]

I'm coming, I'm coming.

[Locked: Voice]

[treacherous_widow]

I would have given you a heads up if it was Wheels.

[Locked: Voice]

[deadlydoctor]

Ah, I see. Thank you anyway, Blacks.

Maybe it’s just one of those things humans catch from time to time.

Re: [Locked: Voice]

[treacherous_widow]

It could be. Organics do have pretty weak systems when it comes to viruses.

[It made her last experiment pretty easy.]

...I'd offer to help you treat it, but uh... I'm not leaving the lab for awhile.

Re: [Locked: Voice]

[deadlydoctor]

You are telling me. It's like nature doesn't even want them alive. How did they survive this long?

[Oh, you. Always doing interesting things with your experiments. Do share.]

No, it's okay. I'll manage. Busy with a new project or...?

Re: [Locked: Voice]

[treacherous_widow]

They got lucking.

[And may have inadvertently had some help from the Maximals.]

S-something like that.
