[OPEN] drink yourself dead

[dinnerdate]

WHO: OPEN
WHERE: The bar.
WHEN After that big news about Unicron coming is dropped. What fun.
WHAT: Everyone's doomed. We're all gonna die. Why not drink until you can't remember that fact!
WARNINGS: None?


[Well this was it. This was the end of everything, and of course he'd end up back just to see it. What could any of them do against someone like Unicron? Unicron was the reason he ate people, and that hadn't even been on purpose! Yeah, there was nothing any of them would be able to do... And that wasn't even thinking about how his glyph had been acting odd and making him feel a bit off. He'd just stick inside the bar, making drinks until they all died. Not like he'd be much help anywhere else. Maybe it would get his mind off the incoming doom.

Probably not though.]



[Go forth and tag around. Make your own threads, hijack other ones, anything and everything!]

[uuugh THIS IS TOO MANY EMOTIONS]

What? Of course I'll be fine. Why wouldn't I be? [a beat and he stumbles on his words a bit, both due to the energon and because he doesn't really want to know the answer to that and REGRETS ASKING] Uhh, straight oil can be. Good for sobering up.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

I mean, I can think of a few reasons.

[But he won't. he'll just settle back on his ass and order something that won't DRUNK HIM]

Sounds good to me.

[primest]

I'm pretty sure they're all wrong. I'm fine.

[MMM DENIAL MMMMMM]

So, uh. What First Forged did you get?

[what do you mean he's making conversation so drift won't leave WHAT DO YOU MEAN SIR]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

None of us are fine right now, but nice try.

[You know what small talk is nice lets small talk]

Oh, um. Vector Prime. What about you?

[primest]

Oh. Same. I met him once, he's kind of an aft.

[handwave. of course sentinel is the only one who hates his first forged. because he didn't get any cool abilities]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

At least you got to meet him. I feel like I'm blindly following some random weirdo into battle.

[primest]

I can officially confirm that that is exactly what we're doing.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

You know what?

[Drift slams his hands on the table because FUCK IT]

I'm all for it! Why not, right? It's not even the stupidest thing I've ever done!

[primest]

It's the stupidest thing any of us have ever done!

[if he was more self aware he'd realise he's being a MASSIVE FUCKING DOWNER but. its sentinel]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

No. No, I've done way stupider. That's why I don't feel too bad about this.

[psh its all good sentinel]

[primest]

...Do I even want to know what you consider stupider than charging an ancient god of chaos despite knowing we have no chance?

[did you stick drugs directly into your brain or something]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Well, I jammed a circuit booster directly into my brain once.

[Well hmm.]

And then I joined the Decepticons. I mean, come on. That's all way stupider than this.

[primest]

[okay no sorry sentinel just breaks out in obnoxious asshole laughter.]

You? A Decepticon?!

[BUT YOU'RE A WEENIE]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[WOW OKAY LAUGH IT UP ASSHOLE.]

Well I'm not anymore! I had something of an image change when I left. I guess.

[primest]

But you're so--

[he actually thought drift was kind of neat. oh well, guess not you DIRTY EXCON]

...Seriously?

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Yes, seriously. Why would I make something like that up? Why would anyone ever want to make something like that up?

[but Sentinel Drift is kind of neat 8(]

[primest]

I don't know you just... don't really expect someone who was giggling and splashing Blurr in the pools to have that sort of a history, I guess.

[HE'S TOO SHOCKED TO BE AN ASSHOLE ABOUT IT, just wait for the shock to slowly wear off.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

I can see why you'd think that. I used to be... I was different. A lot different.

[WHAT A WACKY WORLD WE LIVE IN]

[primest]

[ugh what does he do he's never met an ex-con before UGH

fuck it, another cube down the hatch. he's too fucked up over unicron to do this properly.] Con...gratualtions on not getting killed for defecting? I don't...

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

You know what, that is an accomplishment. I'll take the congratulations.

[and BOOM just like that Drift's in a pretty okay mood again. And swiping another cube even though he was. Y'know. Done.]

[primest]

That's not--

[a pause.] Why did you even defect?

[sentinel just assumes drift would be open about it seeing as he's a DIRTY EX CON WHO SHOULDN'T HIDE THINGS]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[GOOD ASSUMPTION Drift honestly feels the same way.]

Well, uh. I don't know what the Decepticons from your world were like, but ours didn't start off as something bad. They just wanted equality for all Cybertronians. That's not a bad thing, it's what drew me in in the first place.

Somewhere down the line, The Decepticons lost their way, they morphed into something terrible. For a long time, I hadn't even realized it. I just adapted to everything that was changing around me. It wasn't until I met Wing that I realized what I was doing, that I wasn't fighting for the same goals as I was in the beginning. I couldn't stay with them after that.

[primest]

That's the slag Megatron spews - and has been spewing for 14 million years! How did you miss that?!

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Wait. Fourteen million? For us it was only like four million.

["ONLY" but yeah]

Look, I just... I didn't know any better. I was homeless, I had to steal energon just to survive, the only friend I had back then was murdered by Autobot law enforcement, and the Senate was corrupt and nobody wasn't doing anything to help us. Megatron promised change, equality. It doesn't excuse his actions or what he became in later years, don't get me wrong, but back then he had everything I wanted.

[primest]

Wow, you had Megatron for 6 million years less than us and your universe still sucks.

[he's drunk okay his commentary isn't as TOP NOTCH as it usually is.]
