[thxforthememories]

[Coming to you from the Police HQ roof... is a groggy-sounding ninja bot. If he were human, one might say he sounded hungover...]

I don't think I like... high grade.

[A beat passes, metal scrapes -- someone pressing a hand to his face.]

For what it's worth... I'm sorry. To anyone I ran into.

And... the Chieftain? [He hesitates again, this time for different reasons.] My offer to you still stands. Regardless of how I acted... afterward.

Comments

Is this audio or action

[littlecrowgirl]

You smiled, at least.

YOU PICK

[thxforthememories]

And now I feel horrible.

Action; she pretty much lives there anyway

[littlecrowgirl]

I couldn't tell, Mr. Grumpy.

[She's in her beanbag chair, holding some cold tea. She really needs to get that microwave working somehow.]

You shouldn't have drank so much!

Action; honey we need to get you a robot microwave

[thxforthememories]

Sorry.

[As much as he's curled into a cranky ninja-ball, he sounds sincere.]

I felt good then. I didn't think it would be... bad.

THERE ISNT ONE ;;

[littlecrowgirl]

[She slowly inches closer to him.]

I know what you mean. I had too many Swiss Rolls once...and I got a sugar rush...

And then I felt terrible afterward.

This is what is commonly referred to as a "hang over". Drink plenty of plain fluids - energon, I assume - to help wash it out of the system. Though it will take a little time before it's finally purged, so to speak.

[audio]

[thxforthememories]

[But that requires moving...!]

Does it always happen?

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[MOVE IT YA LOAD]

Sometimes. It really depends on the person, and how much their system can handle. As well as how much you've consumed. Like I said, drink plenty of plain energon or whatever it is your system processes, and try to stay off your feet for a bit. [So not much moving!]

[audio]

[thxforthememories]

I never tried it before... but they said I should.

And that's going to help? Just lying here?

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Yes. Take it easy. Don't overexert yourself. But above all else, drink lots of fluids. Cannot stress that enough.

[cerebroshellshocked]

[You don't look Cybertronian.]

...I don't like it either.

[thxforthememories]

It makes you ill, too?

[cerebroshellshocked]

I wish.

[Sigh.] It makes me remember things I don't want to.

[thxforthememories]

[Well. That got his attention.]

It makes you remember things? Really?

[cerebroshellshocked]

Yes. Things I don't really want to.

[raceme]

Funny, I COULD TELL you liked it plenty enough yesterday night. [Blurr sounds more amused than worried.]

[thxforthememories]

Blurr -- !

[Well. This is awkward.]

I'm sorry.

[raceme]

Don't be, YOU did nothing wrong YOU just got a bit overcharged IT happens.

[thxforthememories]

Does it happen to you?

audio

[percept]

Are you alright, Kagerou?

audio

[thxforthememories]

Not really.

Someone said it was... "hangover"?

[VIDEO SO YOU CAN SEE THE REMORSE] this is so perfect....

[winged_knight]

[OH...whoops. Kagerou had taken Wing's advice to heart immediately. Far more immediately than Wing had expected. He'd been exhausted when Vandal and Drift had lured him away and made him get some recharge. He'd completely forgotten that Kagerou had embarked on his frist life adventure with high grade.]

[And well...Wing hadn't expected him to get quite SO adventurous.]

[So here's a white jet looking really, really sheepish.]

Oooooh Kagerou. [He puts his hands over his mouth for a moment.] Did you...drink too much?

[video] SORRY WING 8(

[thxforthememories]

[He's curled into a sorry ball of hangover on the floor of his "nest", one arm thrown over his face.]

I... don't know. I had... a lot, but Perceptor... made me stop.

[video] Inexperienced hippy parents, what us gonna do?

[winged_knight]

[Is good that Kagerou isn't looking so he can't see Wing's cringe. He runs a hand over his face, his pinions slicking down a little in shame.]

Oh dear. I am so, so sorry. I should have been there with you. I-- [There's no excuse really, he had definitely needed to leave the party to get some recharge but he could have come back...instead he'd insisted that Drift follow through on his advances after walking him up. He didn't feel bad about the indulgence, just his lack consideration. He should have found someone else to keep an eye on Kagerou.]

I owe Perceptor my thanks then. [Wait, which Perceptor?] I'm sorry, this is the result when one has too much too fast. It's avoidable. I should have looked after you.

Have you had any regular fuel since? [He's trying to think of what they used as hangover remedies in Crystal City and if they have the supplies here...]

[video] get new parents 8(

[thxforthememories]

[He actually peeks out a bit from under his arm.]

Why is it your fault...? I made the mistake. And there were others around... I can't ask you to look after me forever, can I? That... wouldn't be right.

[His head shakes a little.]

I know now. It won't happen again.

No...? Should I? [The idea of refueling right now sounds about as appealing as going swimming.] I'm not hungry.
