[redshitlord]

So uh... say... you were at a thing. Having a good time, and everything is just great.

But then... your memory gets kind of fuzzy. Like, wow I shouldn't have run into that electric generator in the back of the scrapyard kind of fuzzy.

[A beat.]

Not that that's ever happened! I'm just saying!

[Okay, Sideswipe, what are you trying to get at.]

And then... you think maybe you did something kind of really weird. But you're not like... sure?

Is that just me? It's not just me, right?

video : YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH

[redshitlord]

Uh, no.

I think I'd know if I got wasted. There wasn't even a fight.

[That's not the kind of 'wasted' she means, dumbass.]

[wreckers]

You drank too much, dip shit.

[redshitlord]

... Huh?

[wreckers]

Too much energon. Christ, are you still hungover?

[ Do they even get hungover. ]

[redshitlord]

No way. I didn't even drink any of the hard stuff! Just the... fancy party stuff.

[Sideswipe...]

[wreckers]

I hate to break it to you, but those 'fancy party' drinks is what hides the hardest hitting stuff.

You straight up got white girl wasted.

[redshitlord]

But --

[OH FOR.]

Rodimus.

[Sideswipe you saw him at the punch like ONCE.]

[wreckers]

Rodimus spiked the punch?

[ Or did you two try to one up shots. ]

[redshitlord]

He had to have.

I mean, he's a huge pain in the tailpipe, why wouldn't he?

[wreckers]

That's a very serious accusation to be making.

[ In light of everything, no it was nit. She just wanted to stir this shit machine. ]

[redshitlord]

Good.

He should be... seriously accused.

[wreckers]

Walk me through everything that happened the night of the incident so I can...file a report and pass this up the chain.

[ Oh my god this was amazing. ]

[redshitlord]

I don't know. He just... showed up with his stupid face. At the drinks.

[wreckers]

As much as I don't doubt the stupidity of Rodimus's face that is not exactly compelling evidence.

[redshitlord]

But he was there.

[Sideswipe that. Doesn't help your case.]

[wreckers]

You really have it out for the guy.

[ Is there a strict dudebro limit on Cybertron? ]

[redshitlord]

Well, yeah! He's a jerk.

He didn't even realize we weren't from the same Cybertron, and he still told me my friend was dead. I mean, who does that?

[wreckers]

Wait - now back up.

He did what?

[redshitlord]

When I got here! I was asking if anyone knew the bots back home. Because, hey! Weird new place and all.

He looked right at me and was all, "Yeah no your buddy's dead".

[wreckers]

Goddammit.

[ long, drawn out sigh ]

Leaning on Ratchet or Optimus to put the fear of god back in him might be overkill for shit tact, but for what it's worth - I am sorry.

[redshitlord]

... It's okay, I guess.

I mean, Optimus explained some stuff. So... I know Bee's probably actually okay and all.

...



But Rodimus is still a jerk.

[wreckers]

Rodimus never struck me as-

[ record scratch ]

What's this about Bee?

[redshitlord]

Uh.

[He blinks for a second, before, cautiously:]

Rodimus said he was with the All Sparks? Something like that.

[wreckers]

Bullshit!

[ Her voice suddenly cuts down; heavy and wavering like an executioners ax in novice hands. ]

I just talked to him. Rodimus is lying.

[redshitlord]

Wh-- hey!

I'm sorry! That's just what he told me.
