WHO: Shockawkward & Soundawkward
WHERE: Dancitron
WHEN: After Dancitron closes for the night.
WARNINGS: Awkward, probably a lot of glares, idk what else
SUMMARY: The 'Waves have been avoiding each other because of what happened during the Desire event. They finally talk about it. It's kinda like that one episode of A Single Potato.
FORMAT: Whatever the bossy person says.


[It's been a few days. A few days since they've actually spoken. Soundwave has been avoiding him, he knows. But. He's been doing the same thing really - as illogical as it is. He knows this has to be taken care of, and the sooner it was, the better. This could not be allowed to interfere with work. Hn. Desire. Troublesome.]

[Quietly he makes his way into Dancitron, the scientist could not say he was looking forward to this little chat.]

Comments

that helps.

[Definitely tries not to scowl at that.]

ELABORATE.

yeah. i would hope so.

[notsoloyal]

Blitzwing gets rather protective the very astrosecond I get attacked. You... tend to just stand around when Megatron is attacked.

sleep is nice too.

MEGATRON: PRIDEFUL.
ALWAYS CALLED IT INSULTING IF I STEPPED IN--

[Hn. What does Shockwave know?]

REMINDER. I AM NOT THE SOUNDWAVE FROM YOUR WORLD.

i guess so.

[notsoloyal]

Megatron's pride is the reason Cybertron was forced to go through the Great Shutdown. His pride was the reason the war lasted as long as it did, why he refused to tell me things - like his little army he came back with that I had to clone with absolutely no information on whatsoever.

[So many things Megatron had done because of his pride. His ego. Unfortunate that he had been loyal for so long, he had just brushed it off.]

You may not be, but you are similar enough.

SPEAKING OF WHICH how are you feeling?

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

PRIDE AND EGO: TYPICAL OF DECEPTICONS.
OBVIOUSLY: YOURSELF INCLUDED.

[He shrugs. He has no idea of how similar he is to the one Shockwave knows. It doesn't matter.]

better and medicine free.

[notsoloyal]

Hnn. That would be illogical.

good. i am very glad. /WORRIES WAY TOO MUCH OVER EVERYTHING

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN ILLOGICAL.

/WORRIES ABOUT MAKING PEOPLE WORRY.

[notsoloyal]

I was not myself at the time. I hardly see how that counts.

it is okay. i'm just paranoid about everything ever.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

HN. YOU DENY IT COMPLETELY?

don't beeeeeeeeeee.

[notsoloyal]

...

No. I cannot deny that it happened.

okayyyyyy

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

AFFIRMATIVE.
JUST AS I CANNOT.

goooooooooooood.

[notsoloyal]

Had I not been without logic at the time, it would have never happened.

[Probably. He's not so sure anymore, but he does not doubt that logic would not approve of such things.]

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

LOGIC WILL ALWAYS DICTATE YOUR ACTIONS?

[notsoloyal]

Is there a problem with that?

[Avoids answering.]

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

NEGATIVE.
I AM CURIOUS.

[There isn't much he can do if Shockwave is locked with this choice.]

[notsoloyal]

It often will, however I cannot say that it always will. You have already been present when it has not dictated my actions.

[Something of which he really planned on fixing.]

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

I AM AWARE.
YOU PREFER LOGIC?

[notsoloyal]

Logic is preferable. It was what I was programed with.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

...
ACKNOWLEDGED.
YOU CANNOT EASILY GO OUTSIDE PROGRAMMING.

[notsoloyal]

[He quietly wonders if Soundwave has a problem with logic, but he does not voice the question.]

There is no reason to go outside of my programming. I function just fine when I am following it.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

UNTIL YOU ARE IN PAIN, OF COURSE.

[notsoloyal]

Hn.

[Sets down his tea.]

You could have left me. I had not requested any help.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

[He lowers his head faintly.]

I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE YOU.
...
YOUR PAIN: NOT IN MY BEST INTERESTS.

[notsoloyal]

And I do appreciate that. I really do.

However, pain eventually fades. Letting out my desires was not the best of ideas.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

I WILL KEEP THAT IN MIND THE NEXT TIME YOU ARE SUFFERING.
