'I just need to remain gentle', huh? You feeling like not being gentle, Aid?

“Constantly.”

[badlydrawnfirstaid]

Hiya First Aid! How’s it going?

i got “taking down the mistletoe” duty again this year

so in other words, it’s going great

[plokoonsdisapprovingeyebrows]

Who wants a snippet of Rise that may or may not end up being in chapter 21?? Feat. Orion Pax checking his emails and overthinking Megatronus’ compliments lol

(I’ve been stuck on this chapter for TWO FUCKIN YEARS and it’s mostly uni’s fault but i have to post something so bad skhgkj)

Orion scrolled through the sea of junk, checking for Megatronus’ username. There—near the end of the new messages. Orion cleared the spam, then opened Megatronus’ message, his spark whirling fast. 

Megatronus: >> Whatever you gave Enceladion, you did it just in time. Talk to me when you are able, my friend.

It had been sent three orn ago. 

Orion frowned, pressing his knuckles to his mouth. He’d periodically checked the main media sites out of Nova Cronum, hoping that no news was good news. 

Orion Pax: >> I’m online. Has Harmonius made a move? 

The grey offline indicator next to Megatronus’s username blinked, and his cursor began to flash. Anticipation made waiting hard. Orion opened another browser tab to distract himself, typing in the URL for one of Nova Cronum’s major local news outlets and scrolling through the breaking news pages. Again, nothing.

The Aster Chat tab lit up.

Megatronus: >> Two orn ago, the Enforcers paid an… unexpected visit, shall we say. Rather than attempt to fight their way out, as I had expected they would be forced to do, Enceladion instead led her followers underground, through that cavern she showed us when we visited. She tells me that there was a tunnel, smooth-sided and ringing with the vibrations of the planet, that led them down into a network of ancient caves and a long way west, toward the Main Divide. They resurfaced through an ancient temple in the foothills, from where they arranged a rendezvous with some of my contacts in the area.

Megatronus: >> As far as we know, all mecha are accounted for. One—the watchmech, Silverbolt—could not fit through the entrance to the underground tunnels, so he has flown south to Centralia. Enceladion has made contact with him through the Datanet, but they have yet to reconvene in person.

Orion vented slowly, sagging against the back of his chair. Relief flooded his spark.

Orion Pax: >> That’s great. I’m glad they’re out. 

Megatronus: >> She tells me I have you to thank for their survival.

Orion jammed his fans, laughing softly to himself. He would have to pick Enceladion’s processor about their escape. The map had shown only that the route through the cave existed, not how old the tunnels were or what they looked like, whether they had been hewn deliberately or formed of natural processes. How many eons had passed since mecha had travelled that route? It was almost enough to make him wish he could have tagged along.

Orion Pax: >> I was able to pass a partial map to her, one which showed a potential underground escape route. I was not certain that it was viable, but she clearly determined that the risk was worth it.  

Megatronus: >> I see. This is the same map fragment she has sent to me, and told me to modify in whatever ways I can?

Orion Pax: >> That sounds like it, yes.

Megatronus: >> Why?

Orion Pax: >> To make it as hard to trace as possible.

Megatronus: >> Ah.

Megatronus: >> You continue to surprise and impress me, my friend.

Orion raised his hand to his mouth, pressing his knuckles against his lips. There, again—that modifier glyph that turned a friendly endearment into something decidedly more intimate. 

His thoughts hung over the reply field for a long moment, seconds drawing out into minutes. Megatronus had demonstrated a fluency with the northern Vulgate that made a simple learner’s grammatical error unlikely, for all that he had acquired his skill in a decidedly informal way. Association protocols brought up archived memories, and the ghost of a meaningful touch tickled the sensors on Orion’s back. He reset his tactile protocols, armor rattling in a faint involuntary shiver.

What did Megatronus mean by this deliberate show of intimacy? Did Orion possess the nerve to ask?

Orion Pax: >> Thank you. ^^

Apparently not.

[verybadsamaritan]

But do you actually love him back? You sure you didn’t just fall for the first guy who did something nice to you? If he WAS ever actually genuinely nice to you.

...'M gonna ask you somethin'.

Have you ever, in y'r life, experienced extravagance? Cause I did.

I was the next in line t'lead the Artisan's Guild. I've had damn near squillions of mechs "do somethin' nice" for me.

But Stormy? Now, he saw a down dirty glitchrat, pulled him outta the muck an' mud...

And then he voided six centuries. Six centuries I coulda belonged t'Prowl, or worse- OPTIMUS. He voided it. And let me be my own mech again.

So yes- I do love him back. An' I know he loves me. Be that as his property or as his partner or just as somethin' nice to look at I don't know but the feelin' is mutual.

Now go fuck a blender stuck on puree, y'weird little datanet ghost.

[doyourequirefirstaid]

One for peircings, one for etchings, aaannnndddd

One for frame modifications.

Have them all First Aid.

“…I’m going to have to accelerate my etching studies.” First Aid is almost done with that, but he still needs to fine-tune a few things. “Thank you!”

The modding already fell under his general surgical abilities, but it’s nice to have a fancy license to put in his office - and a good incentive to read up on the installation and upkeep of the newer mods offered, especially those concerning more… delicate areas of anatomy.

[doyourequirefirstaid]

Would you like some forged documents to?

These ones have nothing to do with medicine, just spares about random things.

First Aid thinks for a long minute.

“Do you have one for piercing artists? I’ve studied and done all the practice on synth metallico, but I can’t find anyone to certify me.”

[doyourequirefirstaid]

If you had to interface with only one person for the rest of your life, who would it be and why?

He’s been turning the question over in his mind for days, and he still doesn’t have a satisfactory answer - at least, not one that strictly follows the rules of the game.

“I… I can’t choose. Not between my Brainstorm and Vortex; I just can’t.

“Stormy is sweet and gentle and I trust him with my spark. I’m married to him, for Primus’sakes. I love him and I want to be with him forever; I couldn’t live without him.

“Meanwhile, Vortex and I have history that’s so tangled up I couldn’t possibly remove him from my life. I know he’s up for wilder suggestions and he’s probably the first mech I realised I had a crush on. Even when he’s gone for a long time we slot right back together like we were never apart.”

First Aid drops his helm in his hands. “I can’t choose. I don’t know what I’d do if I had to.”

[doyourequirefirstaid]

Are you a “Daddy” or a “baby girl?”

HELLO????

[doyourequirefirstaid]

It’s the Tailgate effect. Short + masked + blue visor + white paint = baby

it works with red visors and black paint, too. just ask anyone who’s underestimated Rumble and Frenzy

[doyourequirefirstaid]

First Aid just has chronic baby syndrome

*drops his face in his hands* and this is exactly why Pharma made CMO after Ratchet retired, and i didn’t

[doyourequirefirstaid]

A knock at your door

He’s curled up on his berth, dozing lightly with a heating pad on his chest. The knock wakes him almost all the way up.

“Who is it?”

[doyourequirefirstaid]

Aid, maybe it would be safer for you to bunk with someone for a while. Maybe a fellow medic.

perhaps i should... but i don’t want anyone else to attract Brainstorm’s attention right now. i’m scared of what he might do

[doyourequirefirstaid]

one of your amicas has no tiddes but has killed someone with them

this is slander. Fortress Maximus Has Tiddies
