audio; 4/6 late night / early morning ish

[thxforthememories]

[It's probably around midnight or so when the post pops up. Or close enough to it that the effects of the red energon have finally worn off. He can touch things now. He's no longer a ghost.]

[And... still considerably unsettled and upset by recent events. Enough to make the following statement:]

I ... I want to learn how to be drunk.

[Because that seems like a great idea. It always worked for his role models around here, after all.]

Someone. Show me how. I'll be grateful.

[And that's all he says. He'll be at the bar, an unhappy pile of metal and wings. Waiting.]

Kagerou?

What happened?

private

[thxforthememories]

Nothing good.

As usual.

Re: private

[oh if only you could see him narrowing his optics.]

What happened, Kagerou?

[Details.]

private

[thxforthememories]

... Power Joe is angry with me. Then I upset someone who means the world to me.

And I haven't... seen him since.

[Yes, he is upset over fighting with PJ. The stupid power shovel is like his best fratboy friend around here.]

[deadlydoctor]

First you have to find a lot of cubes of high energon and then drink them until you can't see straight. Frankly, it's not something all that hard to accomplish.

I'm all in favor of new experiences but why do you want to do it?

[raceme]

I don't think that's a good idea.

Did something happen?

Re: private

[neededthat]

Drinking isn't going to solve anything, Kagerou.

Have you tried talking to Power Joe? And... have you tried finding your friend?

private

[thxforthememories]

I don't want it to solve anything. I want it to stop thinking about things.

... No.

[thxforthememories]

Which ones are... high grade?

[Yeah, totally avoiding the question there.]

[thxforthememories]

I think it's a fine idea.

Vandal did it.

Re: private

Perhaps you should start with those steps instead of running away from your problems!

private

[thxforthememories]

I'm going to do it this way!

Re: private

[neededthat]

...Fine.

I hope to Primus that your friend is still in one piece when he does turn up.

private

[thxforthememories]

... What?

Re: private

[neededthat]

What if he went to the Badlands? Like you said, you haven't seen him since.

He just up and left, with no indication of where he went? Have you tried contacting him? Anything?

private

[thxforthememories]

He wouldn't!

He... he's just sulking, I know it! He wouldn't leave m--

He wouldn't go away like that!

[raceme]

You'll regret it later, trust me. Getting drunk means intoxicating yourself with is bad for your engine.

Vandal did many things, that doesn't mean you should repeat her mistakes.

Re: private

[there's a heavy exhale of air before he rubs his noseguard.]

Whatever happened between you two, it obviously meant a lot to the both of you, especially since he's gone, and you have decided to drink away your thoughts.

[loyalflier]

I was just entertaining the notion of going out myself...

[thxforthememories]

I just don't want to think for a little while! Why is that bad?

You all do it. I've seen you! So why can't I?

private

[thxforthememories]

I hurt him, all right? I hurt him and I would... I want to not remember it! Just for a little while!

Why is that so wrong?

[thxforthememories]

Then you can show me.

Re: private

[neededthat]

You'd rather forget about it, instead of owning up to your actions and apologizing?

[He shakes his head.]

Whatever makes you feel better, Kagerou.

private

[thxforthememories]

I didn't say I wouldn't do that!

But why can't I do this too?

[deadlydoctor]

Go to the bar and ask for those, high grade doesn't look any different than actual energon. It tastes stronger.

[Yeah, not gonna work with KO.] Did you break up with your boyfriend?
