Circuit 10 [Loss]

[lfetimewarranty]

. . . . North and Shockwave are gone. Their ID's are off the network.

[The tone comes off as neutral, like a good little robot's voice would, but there's a unique undercurrent of depression in her tone.]

It is very . . . odd, to be able to experience this sensation of loss. I have never had to deal with losing someone before. Miss someone, certainly

... I am watching Mikaela.

[That's... all he can say, really. He's trying so hard not to feel happy about this.]

[lfetimewarranty]

[He can feel happy as long as he's not telling her about it.]

...Good. I would help, but she seems distant and I... I lost someone besides just Shockwave.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He's not saying a word about it B|]

... Maybe you should check on her. Commiserate or... something.

[lfetimewarranty]

I will, most likely. I just... need a moment. She probably does too. She knew him longer than me.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Mmn.

...

If I see him, I will break his faceplates again. [He made Mikaela cry. Even if he's off the boat, Shockwave's going to pay--Ironhide assumes telling her this will be reassuring.]

[lfetimewarranty]

[Congrats, Ironhide, get a small chuckle - if for the fact that she's fairly sure this is your attempt at comfort.]

If you see him again, he won't remember why you're doing it.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... So?

[He sees nothing wrong with that.]

[lfetimewarranty]

[He wouldn't.]

Well, I suppose the surprise might make it a little less satisfying.

[heavyweaponsbot]

No. Punching Decepticons is always satisfying.

[lfetimewarranty]

[Now she's the combination of sad and amused, thanks.]

I guess that's true for you.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[But everyone should like punching Decepticons!]

... What? I say something wrong?

[lfetimewarranty]

[Sadly not everyone does.]

You didn't. Just.. it doesn't hold the same appeal for me it does for you, Ironhide.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Well... crap. He's really terrible at this, isn't he.]

... maybe you should punch the bees instead.

[lfetimewarranty]

[He's making an effort, which is nice in and of itself.]

Or I could make use of the punching bag in the gym. [Assuming she doesn't break it.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Use the what?

[lfetimewarranty]

Punching bag in the gym? Its a bag full of sand or other material, designed to be used for boxing or kicking. Usually for training for humans.
