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

[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.

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.

[notsoloyal]

Would you be able to stop yourself? Now that you've acknowledged your desires and all.

[Maybe he's pushing his luck with that.]

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

I ACKNOWLEDGE THEY EXIST.
HOWEVER, I AM CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING THEM.

[notsoloyal]

And you are certain of that?

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

AFFIRMATIVE.
IF I WAS INCAPABLE OF CONTROLLING MYSELF, I WOULD ACT AS IF DESIRE WAS CONSTANTLY AFFECTING ME.

[notsoloyal]

Hm. Well at least that makes one of us for the time being.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

AND YOU?

[notsoloyal]

[Frowns.]

As I said, it takes a while for my logic to return completely, due to this body. It is not fully back yet.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

HOW LONG?

[notsoloyal]

And of what importance is that to you?

[It isn't that he doesn't want to tell Soundwave, but this has only actually happened once before. There was very little to go on as to how long it would take to come back fully. It'd only been a few days, and it had been returning, at least he had not gone out and taken anyone else off the streets to experiment on. The one he did take could get him into enough trouble if he was found out.]

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

YOUR DATA IS SIGNIFICANT TO ME.

[notsoloyal]

[Desire, he is unsure if this will turn out to be beneficial or not.]

I have little idea, there is not much to go by. It could return fully by tomorrow or by next week. This does not exactly happen often.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

UNDERSTOOD.

[There's the temptation to take advantage of this. If Shockwave's logic hasn't returned yet, then perhaps he can use it. When it comes to emotion, Shockwave is oblivious enough, anyway.]

[notsoloyal]

[Likely, no. He would not notice his current lack of logic being taken advantage of. Only some of it was back, and were things centered around emotions, he'd have enough trouble understanding things - even if his logic were returned fully. He picks up his tea again to finish it.]

Anything else?

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

[Soundwave considers, then tilts his head as he looks at Shockwave.]

...
QUERY.
ARE YOU HUNGRY.

[notsoloyal]

[He blinks.]

...

But I have tea.

[Yes. He was not very good with taking breaks to eat, but for tea. For tea he would take his breaks. Generally not the healthiest thing for him to do, but he functioned correctly, as far as he was aware. If anything, he could always just microwave up something - and without a microwave too.]

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

TEA: NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR FOOD.

[He shakes his head, a little bit in disbelief. Then he stands and peers down at Shockwave.]

WE WILL GET SOMETHING TO EAT. THEN YOU WILL RETURN TO YOUR LAB.

IS THIS SUCKERING HIM INTO A DATE WHICH HE WILL NEVER KNOW ABOUT BECAUSE THAT WORD WONT BE MENTIONED

[notsoloyal]

Hnn, I ate... earlier.

And I am aware that it is not a substitute for food, however there is not enough time to fit in a decent amount of time for eating, with everything else.

YEP. THAT'S THE PLAN. GOTTA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT LACK OF LOGIC.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

HOW MUCH EARLIER.

[Shakes his head.] LACK OF FUEL: NOT HEALTHY.
GET UP.

HE WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW IF HIS LOGIC WAS 100% BACK.

[notsoloyal]

...A few hours.

I still do not see why this is necessary, I am perfectly fine.

[Gets up anyway.]
