I don't have time for this.

Ratchet, you don't like it when I'm working.

[Considering Drift's work tends to involve stabbing mechs.]
sword_redemption: (sparkly)

Hey! I don't injure myself.

[He's pretty good at that. Anyone else? Yeah, that's another story.]

I suppose I could meditate some more.

[Like, right here? Right now? You weren't doing anything on this desk, were you?]

Hey! Rodimus is captain!

[Don't talk about Rodimus that way, Ratchet! ]

Meditation doesn't waste time, Ratchet. I mean, you probably could use a good cleaning of your aura.
sword_redemption: (bad message)

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2017-09-26 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he did those on his own.

[Someone upset that Optimus bailed on the war, maybe? Hey, you start something, you gotta finish it. Even if you finish it on the other team.]

Well, I mean, it's all grim and frowny, for one thing.

We agree on a lot of things, Ratchet.

Rock monsters are bad. Whirl is crazy. And sparkeaters are real.

[You tried to deny that last one, didn't you?]

No?

[Honest answer. Thinking isn't his strong suit in the first place, Ratchet. And in the second, who would choose to be grumpy?]
sword_redemption: (happiness)

don't give him that face!

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2017-09-26 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Same thing.

[He says, placidly. He's won that point, so he can be gracious. Ish. About it.]

Everyone has time to be pleasant, Ratchet.

You know what I think? [Well TOO BAD you're going to find out.] I think you don't realize how much we appreciate you.

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2017-09-26 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone. Especially you, Ratchet. You help people! [What's not to be happy and pleasant about?]

See? That's my point. [And that whooshing sound is Ratchet's point sailing right over Drift's head.]

Hey, you haven't had to repair me in a while!

[It's been a whole few days. ]

Ratchet. We have free will. We always have a choice. And I'm choosing to bring some gratitude and appreciation into your day. [You lucky mech, you.]

Ratchet. [He draws himself up.] I have a job to do. Sometimes, in my job, I get hurt.

[That's where you come in.]

Oh? What are you working on? [PEERING.]
sword_redemption: (Default)

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2017-09-28 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
But, Ratchet. [A little whiny.] I'm not good at that job. I'm better at, you know, fighting injustice.

[And by fighting, he means stabbing and slicing.]

You have mine in there? [He tries to grab the datapad. What secret things does Ratchet write about Drift in his datapad?]

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2017-09-28 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
I don't try to get myself killed, Ratchet! [Pearlclutch. ] Someone's gotta do the dangerous work. Why not me?

[Speaking of 'dangerous work', the epic battle for the datapad enters round two. Not getting this away from him THAT easy!]

I'm an open book, Ratchet! What are you hiding?
sword_redemption: (i assume he's joking?)

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2017-09-28 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
What? [Blink blink clueless blink.] Ratchet, I'm not important. You are. Rodimus is. Ultra Magnus, even. I'm just one of a million soldiers.

[He's not going to refute that stuff about Rodimus. Because he kind of can't. ]

Oh. Ewwww. [Yeah, living through some of his injuries was bad enough. He's not fond of a revisit. He holds the datapad at arm's length.] Including the Red Rust?
sword_redemption: (is that accurate?)

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2017-09-28 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but [Uncomfortable wriggle. ] Fighting's the only thing I've ever been good at! Everyone else has civilian jobs they can do. I don't.

[Saddest of sad faces. He doesn't even stop Ratchet from grabbing the datapad back. ]

That's...not really how I want you to remember. [All eyemelty and stuff. ]
