I'm hoping that things don't turn out as badly as some might be fearing ( Read more... )

Back to all threads

[Medbay. Arcee. Right. So we put the homicidal killer in the Medbay. Nautilus, you have a vicious humor.]

...thought you were a 'teacher'.

[That voice thing may work on your students, Arcee: it is entirely ineffective against Drift. It might be more convincing if you, a la Turmoil, could back it up with a cannon aimed at his face. ...probably not, though.]

What if I don't?

[action] watchforthorns August 28 2011, 20:29:35 UTC

[Unfortunately, she doesn't have that option. Nor does she think threats of time out will work either.]

[She shakes her head, trying to look more exasperated than nervous.]

Drift. We really don't have time for... whatever it is you're up to. Can we get back to making sure this place is safe?

[He'd been so keen on it; she was really hoping he'd prefer going back to it than... menacing her?]

[action] roninknight August 29 2011, 00:32:10 UTC

[Oh you just try 'time out', sister.]

You seemed pretty convinced this place is safe enough. [He leans in, closer.]

You can tell me, Arcee. I know what you've done.

[action] watchforthorns August 29 2011, 01:09:28 UTC

[Well. That didn't work. When Drift leans in, Arcee leans back, pressed against the wall with a nervous expression.]

Tell you what? That I honestly have no idea what it is you're getting at?

[action] roninknight August 29 2011, 01:21:21 UTC

[Drift tsks.]

It's all right, Arcee. I won't hold it against you. I believe in second chances. But...just admit it.

[He's waiting for the murderous 'hand to hand'.]

[action] watchforthorns August 29 2011, 03:31:33 UTC

[She's not going to attack him. He's being creepy and overbearing... but still. With all the creeper vibes, she's just gonna gather her will. Worst case scenario, she gives him a Bending-amplified shove and books.]

Admit what?

[action] roninknight August 29 2011, 03:36:09 UTC

[He's trying to help you, Arcee. You just need...help being helped. That's all.]

How many, Arcee? How many have you killed?

Or have you lost count?

[action] watchforthorns August 29 2011, 03:40:58 UTC

[That just gets a blank startled stare. What?]

H...ow...

K...

What?!

[She takes a moment to shake her head, baffled.]

I've never killed anyone Drift. You've got the wrong femme.

[action] roninknight August 29 2011, 03:47:23 UTC

[Now, Arcee. He can't help you if you insist on being in such deep denial. Your past is part of who you are.]

Arcee.

Pink.

Different. [Not a lot of females in Drift's circle of Autobots, nor in the Decepticons when he served with them.]

Tell me where I'm wrong.

[action] watchforthorns August 29 2011, 03:52:33 UTC

[She's about to protest again... when something so blatantly OBVIOUS hits her.]

Drift.

Just because I'm pink, I'm a femme, I'm named Arcee...

Keep in mind we're from different worlds. Whatever Arcee might be in your world? That has little bearing on me. Or on another Arcee from somewhere else.

Do you understand what I mean?

[Even if the idea of ANY Arcee being a psychotic killer is more than a little unsettling to her. She looks all twitchy, Drift.]

[action] roninknight August 29 2011, 04:02:30 UTC

[Yes? Just because you check all three boxes...what? You're Arcee. Stop denying it.]

Really. Proof. You know of another mech--anyone--who is that different? [Sidewipe seemed a little...crankier than the one he knew, but there was still some underlying cause to his emotions.]

[He sees your twitchiness and raises you one heavy hand on your shoulder, in a sort of parody of a comforting gesture.] You look nervous, Arcee.

[action] watchforthorns August 29 2011, 04:20:01 UTC

[Uncertain, she crossed her arms and tried to side step out from under that hand.]

I haven't myself. But from what I've heard, it's entirely possible.

[action] roninknight August 29 2011, 04:22:46 UTC

[Oh nice. Suspicious action. As she moves, Drift snatches one of his short blades, holding it to her throat.]

There's no need to make this ugly, Arcee.

[action] watchforthorns August 29 2011, 04:29:18 UTC

[The femme freezes when she feels that blade at her throat, optics brightening in alarm.]

I... I'm not trying to, Drift. You're the one with weapons out. [Amazingly enough, she keeps her voice somewhat calm, even as she opens a commline to Wing.]

//Wing, get over here, fast. Something's got Drift really riled and nothing I can say seems to help.//

ooc: ((Reve says she'll drop Wing in after your next post if that's good with you XD)

[action] roninknight August 29 2011, 04:43:20 UTC

You don't need weapons, remember?

Just admit it. You gain nothing by lying to yourself.

((ooc: cool with me!))
