[Video] feeling the Call

[sword_redemption]

[Drift has looked better. His armor's dented and stained, but nothing looks obviously fatal. More than that, he looks...tired. And twitchy. Which is not a good combination in anyone, least of all him.]

Going back out to the Badlands.

Don't follow.

((OOC: because of his canon (D-Void) and having been into the Badlands twice already, he's feeling the effects of the Calling sooner than anyone else. BUT feel free to comm him or stop him or whatever! ))

[Oh come on, didn't they go over this last time? Nobody listens to bears...]

Whhhhhhhhyyyyyy?

[Over the past several hours it feels like so much has just gone to hell. Things, lives, people, slipping through his fingertips. And now this...]

Drift! I've been looking for you, where have you been!?

And to the Badlands!? Why? What now?

[He's looking aghast again. There's been a lot of that over the past few hours.]

[Video]ASDFGU teddieeeeeee

[sword_redemption]

Something's out there. I can feel it. I have to stop it.

[That sounds sane, right?]

[vandalization]

[Someone looks exhausted from working the medbay.]

Drift?

[Video] Why you gotta hurt bear feelings, Drift?

[kingofthetvworld]

[Well, actually, considering the things he's seen it sort of does. At the same time, he still doesn't like it.]

But it's called badlands! That means it's BAD! Ugh, nobody listens and then when you're hurt, I'm gonna have to haul my fuzzy keister all the way over there just to make you better again. Do you know how much work that is?! A lot!

[sword_redemption]

Sorry. [He is. He might not sound like it.] Meant to comm you.

Everything's...fine. [Depending on one's definition of the word.]

Just something out there. I could feel it.

[sword_redemption]

[Great, they can be the exhaustion twins.]

Vandal. You need rest.

[Video] he can't help it! ;-;

[sword_redemption]

Teddie. I'm bad. I'll be fine.

[He shakes his head.] I don't want you coming after me.

[vandalization]

[ Yep. Been up all night arms-deep in her dead and dying friends. ]

I have an hour until next shift I-

Please don't leave.

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

You're bad all right...

[He shakes his head just as much.]

That's not up to you. I've declared it.

[Not here]

[organ_pharming]

[Not actually a reply but he is watching this and he's smirking behind his data pad.]

[sword_redemption]

[He does not envy her that. Which is why he left so she didn't have the burden of dealing with him. ]

If you're too tired, Vandal, you need to take a break. At least for a few minutes.

Have you eaten?

[Because whatever this is stirring in the back of his spark isn't quite overriding his concern for her.]

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

I am. I shouldn't be here.

[Everyone else is nice here. Except Overlord and Prism, and they knew to stick to the fringes. He's the bad one. He doesn't belong.]

Teddie. You need to stay put. [Drift tries 'authority'. It may not work.]

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

I don't think anyone should be here, to tell you the truth. I know I sure as heck shouldn't.

[He begins to act just a wee bit cocky. Haha, authority.]

And if I don't~?

[thehardway]

Negative. Return immediately.

[sword_redemption]

Stay out of this.

TEXT;

[thehardway]

Until Rodimus returns, you are my responsibility.

Return or you will be found. I know that Wing will also make certain of this.

[sword_redemption]

Back. Off.

And leave Wing out of this. I swear to Primus if you get him involved....

TEXT;

[thehardway]

No.

I don't have to. He would volunteer himself easily. Return freely, or return in cuffs.

[sword_redemption]

You're going to arrest me.

Because I'm trying to save you.

TEXT;

[thehardway]

What could you possibly be saving me from by being so reckless?

[sword_redemption]

My recklessness is my business.

If anyone is going to get hurt by it, it's me. Don't get others involved.

TEXT;

[thehardway]

Your insubordination is my business.

I don't have to.

[sword_redemption]

Maybe I have a reason that is bigger than your 'insubordination'.

Then don't.

TEXT;

[thehardway]

Your reasoning is foolish, unsound, and pointlessly reckless. I daresay I almost miss your irritable optimistic behavior.

I'm certain he'll volunteer himself with no indication from me.
