Here there be Spoilers for MTMTE #6

[rememberme]

I know why you're doing this. Why you're really doing this, but I'd like to address that later. And while I can't say I approve of your methods of finding balance, that isn't what I want to talk to you about today.

I'd like to direct your attention to my current physical state; the one you intend for my arrival (if we're accepted).

Now I want you to ask yourself something: Is this honestly, completely necessary? 

You are aware I'm going to be at a rather ... pronounced disadvantage, but have you taken into consideration the long lasting effects of your decision?

That's something I'd like you to think about.

[o h

NO MUN DAMMIT NO HE DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER PSYCH SESSION THE LAST ONE ENDED IN THE OPPOSITE WAY HE WANTED]

...don't think they can be talked out of it, Rung.

You're so lucky we aren't using his special Re/Al icon...

[rememberme]

[WELL THIS IS.... AWKWARD.

HE'S BEEN REALLY WORRIED ABOUT YOU
but

isn't so sure that a face to face meeting is


in your best interest right now...]

Sometimes it helps to try anyway. Just talking about things can open up other options.

WEH

[warborn]

[are you making this about him DON'T MAKE THIS ABOUT HIM WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT HIM]

...yeah, and sometimes not.

Look at these icons. Just look at ALL THAT FACE. That's like, a complete face and everything!

[rememberme]

This doesn't have to be a session if you don't want it to be. Just-- that was for the official record.

I'm not recording anything.

RUB IT IN, SURE

[warborn]

...I don't think last time was an official session, either.

[bitter guilt what]

[officer_ocd]

At least your mun hasn't tried to convince you that it would be ffffff---

fffffffffffffffffff.....

That word.

You know.

[Fun.]

[rememberme]

[Don't hurt yourself Magnus, just take it slow. With enough practice and patience, someday-- who knows, you might even get up to the vowel.]

Fun? It might be. There's a lot of 'refugees' already. I'm sure I could make myself useful.

[officer_ocd]

[But would it really be worth it? He could have read the Autobot Code a dozen times by then.]

It sounds lawless. [Medium-sized frown.] I think they need order more than they need...whatever you do.

[rememberme]

You know what I do. I'm the ...[awkward] was the ship's psychiatrist.

It was on my boarding forms. You read those.

[Everyone knows you read those.]

[officer_ocd]

I know that.

[He was the one who made that little condition for Whirl, after all. But it was slow reading: he kept having near aneurysms over who did get cleared for this ship. Red Alert had clearly lost his touch.]

I meant, what good you could do to refugees.

Lawless refugees.


Lawless refugees probably violating the Tyrest Accord with wanton impunity.

[Oooooh this is not a happy face. Not that he actually has one of those.]

IT IS YOUR FAVORITE PATIENT

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Oh great. Welp. This is new. Hallucinating. Awesome.]

Uh. Yeah. I'm the one that's supposed to be talking to myself.

[Helloooooooo~. Actual crazy mech here. Do not try to steal his schtick, Rung.]

EVERYONE IS HIS FAVOURITE IN THEIR OWN SPECIAL WAY

[rememberme]

But I'm not talking to my-- Never mind. It doesn't matter.

You're looking better.

[Can't say the same for all of us present, but whateves.]

NO WHIRL WANTS TO BE HIS FAVORITE FAVORITE

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[It's hard to narrow your optics when you only have one. But Whirl does anyway. He's that good.]

[Because holding out on him really doesn't make him happy.]

Eh. That. Whatever.

You're looking....less dead.

[Social skills! See? He has them!]

YOU ARE AND WILL FOREVER BE HIS FAVOURITE WHIRL

[rememberme]

[Oh, would you look at that. You aren't Maximus. Guess that means you don't get any special icon treatment then.]

Yes... it does seems that way. I'm, well-- It could be worse.

GREAT now Whirl wants a huuuuu---okay maybe not.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[...hurray?]

Yeah. Could be a lot worse.

[Have a clinical look. He knows a bit about dead bodies. They are his favorite things to play with.]

[He kind of wants to poke that.]

Could be dead. Could be Swerve. Could be me.

[anarchypanty]

What the fuck? Are those supposed to be eyebrows?

Keywords

[rememberme]

Er. Yes?

And you are?

[Aside from weirdly stumpy, and female, and organic, and the fact that he's got this weird feeling you'd make a pretty hot robot.]

[anarchypanty]

Unbelievably sexy.

[rememberme]

[Right.]

No, I meant your name, miss...

[Look, he's even giving you verbal cues and everything.]

[anarchypanty]

Are you trying to say that I'm not sexy? You asshole.

[cantshutup]

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

[Cough]

Just for the record? NOT my intention at all.
Also Rod was screaming at me.
And I think the ship shuddered a bit.
Plus I think Fortress Loopimus did.... something. That threw me off.

Sorry.

[rememberme]

[This is. All so awkward. This is like. The WORST time to talk to patients. Or take on new ones.

And you can bet your spoiler, Rung thinks you've got 'new patient' spray painted all over you.]




It.
Was a very stressful situation.

I believe you.

[cantshutup]

[Swerve needs a gag, not a shrink.

...although, someone who has to listen to him talk and can't escape. There's a certain appeal there.]

Really?


Oh man, that's a relief. I was worried you'd go all vengeful spirit on me there.
I mean, can you imagine? Trying to tell someone I was being tormented by the ghost of Rung? They'd think I'd pissed off the spirits of the ladder or something.

[rememberme]

[Listening to people talk is what he lives for. Otherwise he wouldn't have kept Red Alert on as a patient those last 6 centuries.]

I...

[This... this is why he never goes to your bar, Swerve.]

I'm glad you're doing fine.

[cantshutup]

I dunno if I'd say fine. I mean, yeah. Shot someone I knew in the head. Not completely my fault but still. Kinda puts a damper on the day, ya know?

[See, you got at least a good second or two of silence]

But hey, getting all morose and introspective and... you know... [hand flails] Prowl about it won't help any.
And I'm really that you're also doing fi- well. Uh. Better than dead.
