9 - [Video] / Action for Violet

[show_my_cannons]

[Oh? What's this? It's a robot-turned-human, exiting the doors of the Violet City Gym. He looks exceedingly proud of himself. He even has a little spring in his usual limp.]

[... those of you who heard his plan to 'punch Faulkner until he gives up the badge' may feel a little bit of concern right now. Especially when he flashes something at the camera.]



[Ironhide just grins.]

Time to move on, looks like. Where to next?

[Without waiting for an answer, he kills the feed. Somebody's feeling decidedly exuberant today.]

Cliff can....[Then she registers what he said and she frowns] Don' tell me y'beat that poor boy up! That ain' how Gym battles're supposed t'go, I don' think!

Cliffjumper wrestled one of his the first day he got here. The big cow one.

[Ironhide uses Egg's head as leverage, hauling himself back to his feet. One of his hips pops.]

I won. He seemed fine with it.

[Good Lord, these men are certainly strange. Lottie winces when she hears that pop and hands back the coat]

That jus' ain' fair. You okay, though? That didn' sound good.

[These man are used to being giant robots brawling with their bare hands -- or giant guns. He shrugs though, accepting his coat.]

What? The pop? Happens all the time.

[action]

[daddydothis.livejournal.com]

Y'might wanna get that checked out. I ain't sure hips're supposed t'make that loud'a noise.

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

[Ironhide looks away, shrugging into his coat.]

... Yeah. Maybe.

[...Well, Lottie feels horribly rude. She pauses for a moment before adjusting her hair]

So why's that critter o'yours so fond'a chewin' metal?

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

[He doesn't expect anyone to get the issue -- mostly because he doesn't talk about it. So, he's quick to pick up the subject change, and go with that, his posture relaxing.]

Not sure. Think it has brain damage or something.

[Lottie looks at Egg, squatting a little]

Y'drop him when he was an egg or somethin'?

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

Just... sort of found him. The egg, I mean. Napalm had it.

[The egg had been a random gift, and Ironhide had been asleep when it had arrived.]

[action]

[daddydothis.livejournal.com]

Napalm?

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah. First creature I got. She... is this big... rock snake thing.

[action]

[daddydothis.livejournal.com]

Ooh, Rarity's got one'a 'em, I think. Called an Onix or somethin'.

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah. That is the one. Named it Napalm.

[action]

[daddydothis.livejournal.com]

Why Napalm? What's it mean?

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

It is a substance that explodes. Or burns. Very useful.

[Lottie winces]

If y'in a war, maybe.

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

[He raises an eyebrow at her.]

I was.

[action]

[daddydothis.livejournal.com]

[She reaches over and pats his arm. God, he's ripped!]

I figured as much. We jus' got done with a war back home, y'know. [Sadly] Soldiers all got this look 'bout 'em.

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

[And about as scarred up as a human being can get.]

... Which war was that?

[action]

[daddydothis.livejournal.com]

Well, 'ccordin' t'Midori, th'first World War. [Dejected] Guess it wasn' th'war t'end all wars.

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

No. It was not. Not for your kind. A second World War occurred, not long after. Along with others.
