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.]

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?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

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

[Video]

[show_my_cannons]

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

[Video]

[foolishwren]

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

[Video]

[show_my_cannons]

That is different than this.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

How?

[Video]

[show_my_cannons]

It just. Is.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

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

[Video]

[show_my_cannons]

No, I do not.

[foolishwren]

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]}

[show_my_cannons]

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

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Well.

It doesn't work with me.

So there.

[Video]

[show_my_cannons]

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

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_[OOOOOOOOOH]

... Yeah, WELL. You suck.

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

[Video]

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah, I know, kid.

[He wins. The immoveable object wins.]
