25 | video / action for Olivine

[The feed is shaky, and occasionally teeth and a tongue come into view, as Ironhide's Growlithe decides the 'gear is a delightful chew toy. It's clear enough, though, to show the old Autobot sitting on the beach in Olivine City. More precisely, on the tail of his Onix.]

[Both of them are observing a sunset. Although Ironhide appears to be more interested in the contents of a bottle in his hand. It's not energon, but it does the job.]

[Eventually, Dog wanders over, and he notices he's being recorded. With a scowl, he pries the 'gear away.]

I was told there was something 'special' in these... sunsets.

I see nothing different. Just the same as they are anywhere else. ... No reason to stick around this place.

[With that statement, he flicks the 'gear off.]

[... Someone is in a worse mood than usual.]

_{[There's a bit of a silence from Heather as she just stares at the screen. She's still not totally sure what to make of this, but...]}

... This is Johto, man...

You guys don't NEED to have posts here.

We still need to know that we can rely on our comrades without them running off!

People go places on their own sometimes.

You can't expect somebody to be exactly where you want them to be twenty-four-seven.

_{[She's been in situations like this-- on the other side. Harry had spent a lot of time trying to get his wayward daughter to stay at home where he knew she was safe, and well...]

[Heather heaves a slight sigh, because man, he is REALLY upset about this, before pausing and saying, almost a little suspiciously.]}

... Is this about something MORE than just him not being where you expected him to be?

That was... hn. All Spark. Not what I meant.

[Heather why are you making this so difficult? Anyone else would have left it alone...]

He. Ran. Off.

Without a word.

_{[Heather's not anyone else, obviously.]}

For how long? You're acting like he up and left for days.

... Longer than your partner should leave watching your back.

We just got here. And he took off. Running. I did not know where he had gone. I could not contact him.

Look, I'm not saying he shouldn'tve told you where he was going, but... come on.

This is Johto.

Nobody's gonna try and gank somebody like you. ... Or probably him EITHER, for that matter.

What's the big deal, not having him around for a few hours?

You just... You do not turn your back on a comrade. You do not leave.

Nobody can be around all the time.

I go out on my own a lot and Dad and Henry don't mind, 'cause they can take care of themselves! They know I always come back.

_{[... Admittedly, she also makes sure to tell her father where she's going (or at least WHY, if she doesn't have a particular destination in mind) whenever she heads out, but. Still.]}

Kid.

Where we come from... you tell your comrades where you are going. Why you are going.

That is just what we do.

Maybe he had a good reason for being in a hurry. Did you think of that?

_{[She doesn't know, of course, that Cliff will tell her his side of the story later, but she's just sort of assuming. He's a decent guy and she can't imagine him just prancing off without saying anything for shits and giggles.]}

... Good enough reason not to say a word?

Uh, yeah. That doesn't sound too implausible to me.

... it is not how this is supposed to work.

I would think that you of all people would know that sometimes shit happens that makes things not go according to plan.

That is different than this.

How?

It just. Is.

You're gonna have to come up with a better reason than that.

No, I do not.

You know, the "NO I DON'T" argument stops working once you're older than like... five.

_{[YOU'RE MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD IRONHIDE WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE]}

And then it begins to work again when you hit your old age.

Well.

It doesn't work with me.

So there.

You know, the "so there" argument stops working once you get older than... five.

_[OOOOOOOOOH]

... Yeah, WELL. You suck.

_{[This has been DEBATE 101 with Heather 'Mature' Mason and Ironhide the Impenetrable Brick Wall of Arguments.]}
