003 [audio]

[tanvirus]

You'd think of all people, I'd--

Nngh, not the point.

[Hear this? This is the sound of a man with kind of a splitting headache. But.]

Anyhow. Got back okay, Bryn? How you feeling today?

Comments

[heavyweaponsbot]

All people what.

[tanvirus]

[Ffff, he keeps forgetting everyone can hear.]

All people nothing. I just should have known-- should have-- Fuck.

[Tan clears his throat.]

Should have known better than to drink that much, that's all.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Jealous you got to drink anything at all.

[He should be hungover right now. And made of metal. He isn't, and he's peeved.]

Keep your sickness off the comms.

[tanvirus]

[Oh, that's a cranky voice, innit?]

Relax, was just checking up on a buddy. Besides, after a party like that, who isn't a little sick?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Herz?

[He sounds slightly suspicious.]

Who is not sick? Me.

[tanvirus]

No, Bryn--

Hey, you know Herz?

[It's a small boat, after all~]

Yeah, well, more power to you. I can't drink like that anymore.

[He says like he has years and years of experience drinking. Fffff]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Yeah. I know him. Good kid. Takes care of you.

[By bringing booze.]

Then why try?

[tanvirus]

Yeah, he's pretty good. Sweet, too.

[He's fond of Herz. You may have noticed.]

Pfff, I wasn't trying. It just ended up that way.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah. Good kid.

[So is he. Just. In a different way.]

Should have been more careful.

[tanvirus]

Usually am more careful. I don't usually drink like that.

[Sliiiightly pained noise]

Not sure what came over me, but that's not happening again anytime soon. For fucking sure.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Good.

[A chuckle.]

More for me, then. At least until this nonsense wears off.

[tanvirus]

[Now he's curious.]

Nonsense?

...Wait, no, don't answer that. I'm still out of it. Not sure that whatever you say--Not sure it'd make sense.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... This being human nonsense.

[Whether or not he wants a clarification, he's getting it.]

[audio/text]

[tanvirus]

[Y'know what, after the talking dog, he's maybe starting to learn not to question the weird shit on this boat. Or the weird people, anyway.]

Riiight.

[He switches over to text, since he's getting hoarse-er, and since he can't brain.]

so if you'r not human what are you?

[text]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Autonomous robotic lifeform from the planet Cybertron.

[Yup, quoting Optimus verbatim.]

[text]

[tanvirus]

[Okay, he can roll with that]

so a cyborg?
