Here there be Spoilers for MTMTE #6

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.

[No, honestly that whole thing kinda sucked, Rung. Make a friend, watch his head explode.]

You think. You think.

[Uh oh. Whirl is getting spun up.] Because you're such a fraggin' expert on combat.

You know what? You don't get to threaten me with that.

[Goddamit, it worked the first time. It was worth a try??]

That's not what I meant-- Listen. What I meant was that I don't think you have problems grasping reality. I don't think that's your problem --[NO WHIRL, NO. HE DOESN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH FIGHTY TIMES RIGHT NOW.]

I'm not trying to threaten you, Whirl! I'm just restating what we already know. What hasn't changed!

Everything's fine. I'm okay.
You're-- You're not in prison. You don't want to go back to square one after all this time, right? You've got a new chance.

[Is he going to have to grasp you again to show you how solid his grasp on reality is? Because he can so totally do that.]

Why am I always the one with problems here, huh? Let's talk about that, how Whirl's the Bad Guy because he actually enjoys doing what we've fraggin' been doing for four million years. [He will loom menacingly over you. Because he can.]

I think a lot's changed. Starting with your head configuration.

[Would you like a jab in your tiny little chest? Too bad. Have one anyway.] Explain to me, thumbless, how going after the guy that murdered you makes me a bad guy. Shouldn't he be the one getting this fraggin' lecture?

[WHIRL HE KNOWS HOW MUCH YOU HATE BEING TALKED DOWN, BUT YOU ARE KIND OF REALLY CLOSE TO FORCING HIS HAND HERE.]

[Meanwhile, loom away though he wishes you wouldn't because, gosh, he's had enough of that for this week, and this isn't even a proper session and just. Weh. He'll only shrink back a little, because, you know: claws and all.

/Sigh
And look at him with his relatively low key, calm, and not at all aggressive body language.]

Whirl, I don't think you're a bad guy.

[And at least we're approaching a familiar topic, this whole adjusting to post-war life. Then, ow, flinching because even that tiny little jab sends vibrations up to his mangled face and just, ow, okay?]

He didn't murder me. It was an accident, that's different. No one's a bad guy here, Whirl. It was just really... really unfortunate.

[What's a little menacing looming between friends, really, though?]

Oh. Okay. I get it. Sure.

So.

Like.

When Swerve just happens to end up rivet gunned to the warp drive with his legs ripped off and stuffed in his mouth, we'll just call that an 'unfortunate accident' too, right?

[See how logical Whirl can be? Nice, isn't it?]

[Maybe you just need taller friends, Whirl?]

[And just. Why are we talking about this now, this isn't even a session, Rung just wanted to talk to his (invisible, omniscient) human, (and wow when you put it that way, maybe the exposed brain module really was getting to him...). Weh. How did this happen? This was not the appointment he scheduled for today.]

...

[If that imagery was supposed to shock him, he doesn't show any reaction at all. He's not so much upset at how gruesomely creative Whirl can be, but that the rotary is being difficult.]

I can't let you do that ~~Dave~~.

Besides, after you did that, what would be next? You know Swerve wouldn't have taken that shot without an order. And the reason that order was given was because of the occupants of my-- uh, the office. [It isn't really his office anymore, is it?]

When would you stop? Would you be able to?

[That would be heightism or some other kind of discrimination. And Whirl, for all his flaws, is entirely fair about who gets a heaping helping of his crazy.]

[Whirl would ask if you had scheduled in 'get half your head shot off', too. Seriously. You'd never make it as a Wrecker being that inflexible.]

OccupantS of your office.

You mean...me.

You mean Swerve was aiming for ME?

Are you deliberately misunderstanding me?

AM I?

You know we're just going to have this same discussion once you end up the same place I'm going.

You brought it up.

[So there. He'd stick out his tongue at you...if he had one.]

Fine. Sure. Let's have a different discussion about you and this invisible human you think is pushing you around.

[Heh, lie down on that couch there, Rung.]

How does that make you feel?

[Dr Whirl is here to listen!]

[He's going to sit down on that couch he's only just noticed now (how long has it been there anyway?) not because of any role reversal, but just because dealing with Whirl is better accomplished while seated. ]

How I feel?

[He'd prefer the relationship wasn't so one-sided, that he had more say in things, that this all this made more sense... That the lines between what he was sure was reality and what he was also pretty sure was just some alternate thread of a different reality made more sense.

Honestly, he's not sure how he feels yet.]

We aren't going to talk about this.

[He'd actually rather not play doctor with Whirl right now, thanks all the same.]
