97. [Action for Goldenrod/Private Text]

[Locked to Ironhide, Minnie Mouse, Otacon, and Dale Cooper]


I don't know if it'll fix anything at this point, because I said some pretty horrendous things to all of you, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry.

I'll understand if you're still mad. None of you need to reply to this.





[Action for Goldenrod]


[It's probably not surprising that there's been radio silence from Heather on the 'Gear for awhile, considering... well, everything. Even if she hadn't had her 'Gear confiscated as part of the 'grounding', she hadn't exactly been in a chatty mood.]

[But even if she's bound to the city, she's not bound to the hotel room, and considering that she's sort of in the doghouse at the moment, she's not too interested in staying cooped up with the people who are rightfully upset with her.]

[So she can be found wandering the streets of Goldenrod City with Cujo padding along at her side, window-shopping or occasionally lounging on a bench-- minus the firepowers that blew the metaphorical Diglett-hole into a volcanic mountain a few weeks ago, but unfortunately still with the unattractive aftereffects of the whole ordeal: smoky black hair, patches of scorched-looking skin, and a permanent burnt-toast smell following her around.]

Kid...

[What can he even say to that? Is there anything?]

[He falls silent. She can't see it, but... he bows his head, hands scrubbing over his face. Hearing this -- it calls to mind the uncertainties of his own. When had he spoken to Sideswipe last? Really spoken. Not tossed words over a battlefield.]

[He won't say "I'm sorry". It's too trite. Too cliche.]


... take a break if you need it, kid.

[And he'll pretend the words don't come out rougher than usual.]

Yeah, kid.

Take your time.

[Ironhide has spent a lifetime shouting orders, threats, and insults on a battlefield. And yet, now, his voice is surprisingly gentle.]

I will answer.

[True to his word, he's there. Granted, he went outside and punched a few trees, but he's there.]

Hey.

Sound like the last time Lennox got a bunch of dirt up his nose.

[Har har you're hilarious, Ironhide.]

Yeah. Allergies. Heard those are rough.

[He's going to go along with it, regardless. There's no reason to poke and prod at it.]

[He even... tries to say the next part gently. It's not easy, because this isn't an easy subject, and this is Ironhide we're talking about. But he tries.]


...

Your father.

[He goes quiet, attempting to put the pieces together, for her sake. That way, she won't have to speak as much, right?]

...

And they found you, then?

Kid, if you forgot... for the reasons you forgot... then you cannot blame yourself.

Not right to.

Kid.

Breathe.

[He's not going to tell her to calm down. That never solves anything. He doesn't... know what else he can do, what else he can say. Sure, he could just listen, but sitting on the other end of the 'gear, listening while someone he wants nothing more than to protect is shrieking...]

[It's not a good feeling.]


You did not know. You were unable to assist. I know that feeling. And it...

[If he'd known what awaited Optimus -- what would happen to Jolt, to the new recruits. If he had been there...]

You cannot allow it to fester.

Going to tear you apart, kid.

[voice] ... baby ;o; dfsdkj I'M SORRY THIS IS SHORT HE'S JUST. AWK.

[personal profile] show_my_cannons 2012-09-01 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[And, once more, he doesn't know what to say about that.]

Kid, I...

[He just stops. Just stops. Is there anything you can say when someone unloads all this on you?]

[He's used to the atrocities of war. The atrocities of domesticity, of civilians... those have him at a loss.]


Sorry.
show_my_cannons: (Human | The aging superhero in me)

[voice] He's so out of his element /face in hands

[personal profile] show_my_cannons 2012-09-02 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
... It can stop. You are not alone here, and no one is expecting you to deal with this on your own.

I doubt anyone wants you to.

We are here. We do not want to see this take you down...

[He pauses. Breathes.]</small. Not sure what else there is to offer you.
show_my_cannons: (Human | Ashes to ashes)

[voice] ;o; Okay

[personal profile] show_my_cannons 2012-09-02 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's quiet again.]

[How does anyone even begin to try and deal with things like this? Is there a way? Is he supposed to try? All Spark.]

[Why isn't there a guidebook or something on this.]


Yeah.

Sure thing, kid.

[He'd like it better if he knew.]

... Yeah, heard that one before.

[He pauses -- hey, if they're sharing Big Important Things...]

From someone you remind me of.
