too busy working out to

WHO: Kagerou & OPEN
WHERE: ALL AROUND HAVEN || Police Station || Trion's Temple
WHEN: From TFP!Ratchet's attack -- to now!
WHAT: After his outburst on the Network, Kagerou is rather desperate to prove himself as a capable police officer, hunting nonstop for a fugitive he probably has no hope of locating. It goes about as well as you can expect.
WARNINGS: None now.
Note: If you could put the date and location in the subject, that would be awesome!

[He's probably become a familiar sight around the Haven skies of late. A shadow ghosting across the stars, or lurking in the darker places behind buildings. Scans are running constantly. No part of the ground goes unseen. Guilt is driving him, mostly. He wants to make things right. Wants to make amends.]

[Make it up to the bot he thinks he's failed.]

[But there are some areas he won't visit. Some places etched in his mind as too terrible to return to. He won't be seen near Liege's temple. Nor Megatronus'. Everywhere else, he is a near-constant presence. Look up. You might see him!]

~

[Even so, he can't be everywhere. Every so often, he'll return to the police station. Make reports, they said. Check in, they said. And so, in between sweeps of the Haven, he'll stop at the station. Even if no one is inside, or present, he'll offer up his report via datapad, leaving it on a desk.]

[Nothing, it usually says. Nothing unusual reported.]

[And he treats every report of that nature, like a failure. His shoulders slump a little more, and he leaves the station looking more dejected, though his expression remains as closed and neutral as possible. If someone is present in the station, he'll stop to speak with them, of course. But otherwise, he's in and out in a matter of minutes.]

~

[Rarer still, he returns to Trion's temple. To the room he and Kay and now... now another... are sharing. It's usually late when he does drag himself back. He's always low on fuel, low on rest. He'll all but stumble through the temple, nodding to passersby, or whoever happens to be on his way.]

[He will return to the room for only as long as it takes for him to refuel. To make certain Kay is all right. To make certain nothing terrible has happened.]

[And then he's gone again. Weary, frustrated, and wracked with too much guilt. But pushing onward all the same.]

[Those hands go to his hips, head tilting slightly up.]

Fixing things? What's broken?
flashdrive: (What are you saying?)

[A hand immediately reaches out, placing itself on the ninja's opposite.]

I'm sure they understand, Kagerou. Your uh...A.I.'s always been in the right place.


It's not like you're malicious or anything...heck, they're probably over it by now.

Did they say that, though?

Because you can be the worst critic of yourself. No one expected you to be doing that, Kagerou...at least not from what I've seen.
flashdrive: (Someone's a crazy flake!)

Let me tell you something, Kagerou.

[He nods his head, as if asking the ninja to follow him as he walks.]

Sometimes things happen, and they're not always for the best. And sometimes the people you know make mistakes. But that's just what they are--mistakes.


[His head tilts up.]

You didn't mean to cause trouble, right?
flashdrive: (I'm not down or out just yet.)

[personal profile] flashdrive 2014-03-20 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't think so. And from my understanding, people here know better than to judge so directly.

[He looks back as he walks, both to catch Kagerou's eye and make sure Ambus was following him.]

You did what you thought was right.
flashdrive: (OW!!)

[personal profile] flashdrive 2014-03-21 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
They're still doing that?

[That gets an annoyed tone out of Rewind. Apparently, the obvious isn't pinging the rest of the planet.]

I'm going to make a post. Just you wait. I'll set everyone straight.
