[ Video - Locked to friends of Sideswipe ]

Mar 15, 2012 11:34

[Axel's not a big fan of locking things so ... non-specifically. But he's kinda running low on options here. And let's be honest: he has no idea who all Sideswipe considers a friend.I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you all saw Sideswipe's reaction to Optimus going to Sleep. If you didn't, just look back a couple weeks. Nautilus made it all ( Read more... )

[He frowns, not only because of this new revelation, but that he hadn't caught it himself. Just what good is all that trace practice when you don't catch something like this, dummy?]

A psychological problem then, like I was considering. Talking to him to try convincing him that he can work things out hasn't seemed to work very well. Did you tell him what you found out?

[Video - Locked] flame_flurry March 15 2012, 19:12:55 UTC

Not yet. Been kinda focused on preventing an encore.

[And Axel just completely fails at telling people important things about themselves. This is nothing new.]

You think it's the kinda news that'd help him out right now?

[Video - Locked] harmonianspdbmp March 15 2012, 20:13:35 UTC

[Nash nods. He can understand that.]

Probably better that you hadn't at the time. He had enough on his plate to deal with then.

...I'm...not exactly sure how he would take it. I wonder if he'd understand it himself, but it's definitely something he should know since he's the one doing it.

Guess it couldn't hurt. [A beat.] ... Any idea how to break the news?

That... makes sense, I'm afraid. When I talked to him that day, he seemed convinced that he would go 'wrong' somehow.

[Video - Locked] flame_flurry March 16 2012, 05:40:49 UTC

That doesn't surprise me. He was saying the same kinda thing when I talked to him.

Then I suppose that, whatever else we do, we will also have to change his mind about that.

[Video - Locked] flame_flurry March 21 2012, 12:26:01 UTC

Any idea how to go about doing that?

I do not know what to do, these things are beyond what I know how to change. However I will help anyway I can. It is the best I can do for him.

[Video - Locked] flame_flurry March 16 2012, 06:03:20 UTC

Heh, you're not the only one who's not sure what to do. My guess is that it'll come down to Bending. That's what's causing the whole problem, you know? But who knows how that'll work.

[Looks like there was a mistake in this. It was suppose to be locked to Sideswipe's "friends."

This one...is not a friend. Obviously. But something happened with that lock.

And the opportunity is taken.]

It was quite a...memorable moment, wouldn't you think?

[For a moment, Axel thinks that he must have failed to lock this. But ... no, that can't be right. He can see the lock, right there. So, is this just Nautilus messing with him? It's not like Sideswipe and Xemnas can be called friends, can they?

[... If they are, he's gonna have to have a Very Serious Talk with Sideswipe. About life choices. And friendship.]

You could say that.

[Video | Locked] SOB SOB not_obsess3d March 16 2012, 06:37:31 UTC

[Well. Nautilus did tend to put its figurative finger into every figurative pie available.

And that would be ironic, coming from Axel. But who had any say in that?]

Indeed. It livened the air for a while, at least.

What good will helping him do? His emotions are as uncontrollable as his tongue. And he is not the only one who lost someone near and dear to his heart.

[Video | Locked] SO AWFUL flame_flurry March 16 2012, 08:20:42 UTC

Uncontrollable emotions, huh? I've gotta say, it's kinda weird, hearing you talk about those.

[... So maybe Axel's equivalent of "getting defensive" is a little more like "attacking". But it's no big surprise: his friends have long been Axel's major weak point.]

Not being the only one doesn't invalidate his reaction.

I know what you mean. He's not usually in the habit of calling me a "murderous little monkey".

[Sure, that particular description was used when Axel - having lost several years worth of memories - was deliberately egging Sideswipe on. But still.]

What do you mean, delving in?
