[arnhaid]

So I'm guessin' everybody got themselves back to normal? Nobody runnin' around gluing people to walls no more?

[Because he's fresh out of wall scrapers. Or something.]

Good news is, I got my altmode back.

[He pauses.]

Uh. Bad news is... kinda found out I wasn't affected no more... the hard way.

[Good job, Ironhide, what did you do.]

Comments

[arnhaid]

Uh.




Not too bad.

[raceme]

But you are. How? What did you do?

[arnhaid]

... Uhm.

Y'know the big cliffs? Out in uh -- Vector's area?

[raceme]

Yes I do. I live next to them, I'm in charge of Vector's temple now.

Did you try to jump in there?

[arnhaid]

I didn't jump in there. I thought there was some more of those... crystals. The bad kind.

Figured I'd get rid of 'em before somebody else did.

... the ledge kinda. Broke.

[raceme]

...and I'm guessing that the forcefield stopped your fall or we wouldn't be having that conversation.

I'll go get you. [Guess who has a car alt mode. Guess who still can fly like that.]

[arnhaid]

Yeah, let's go with that.

Bring a crane.

[raceme]

Hm. You need to tell me the whole story one day.

I don't need one, I will go down there and then pull you out.

[arnhaid]

There ain't much to it. Just what I said.

... how.

[raceme]

If you are sure.

Probably grabbing you by the arm and pulling you up. [they can try the bridal style if ironhide prefers that but Blurr's probably not strong enough to do that.] iI you want a more technical answer, I can fly.

[arnhaid]

Yeah, I dunno if usin' the arm is the best idea.

Kinda came out a minute ago.

[raceme]

What, your arm? I'll go get a cable then, we can tie it around your waist.

[arnhaid]

Yeah. Shoved it back in though.

[raceme]

You can do that...? It's still functional?

[arnhaid]

Uh.


Kinda.

[raceme]

[Have a really worried look, Ironhide.] I'll go see if I can contact Ratchet and he can come along and give you a check up.

[arnhaid]

Aw, scrap...

You don't gotta do that.

[raceme]

Yes, I do.

Are you afraid of Ratchet? I was talking about the sane one.

[arnhaid]

No. I ain't. Not of either of 'em.

[raceme]

Then what's the problem?

[arnhaid]

I don't wanna listen to a bunch of scrap about bein' careful. 'Cause I was careful!

[raceme]

Okay, okay...nonnedtoyellatme.

Ratchet worries a lot when we get hurt.

[arnhaid]

Yeah, I know. But this ain't nothing.

[raceme]

[Blurr smiles a bit more sadly this time.] You remind me me of Wheeljack when you say that.

[arnhaid]

How come everybody says that? I ain't anything like him.

Don't get me wrong, he's a good bot. I like 'im. But we ain't the same.
