[transformers] knock out

SENDER: $cosmedic / RECIPIENT: $svelte [ALL] [video]

[ Someone looks awfully self-satisfied with himself when the video feed starts... an entirely too conversational a tone, could even be called jaunty, and a stark difference from the reserved and prickly medic which people have been getting for the past month. ]

To anyone needing to contact Tailgate, please be advised that he is indisposed for the foreseeable future.

If it's urgent, I'd be happy to take the message on his behalf and will consider delivering it to him.

—

[ OOC: In retaliation for getting murdered last month, Knock Out has infected Tailgate with a stasis lock virus, completely paralyzing the poor 'Bot while leaving him aware of his surroundings, and stashed him somewhere hidden in the city. Coordinated with Tailgate's player! ]

Ah! Ahahaha... ha. Ha. Ahhh. He's not actually dead though, is he?

[medics dude]

[ sweetly: ] Why of course not, Chop Shop.

I did promise I wouldn't kill him, and I kept my word.

We wasn't gonna judge. [wait, was he? shit. maybe a little? oh, god, he gives a shit about tailgate. nightmare.

that aside, he knows better than to question decepticons higher up the ladder. part of him (literally) wants to get on the medic's case for escalating but... it's not his place. survival outweighs the vague thought of arbitration.] Guess you're feelin' right as rain again, then?

How relieved I am to know that.

You know, I feel like my mood is lifting already.

[Gil's voice is slightly muffled, like he's rubbing his face with one hand as he's talking. It sounds a bit deeper than usual, too.]

You know what, I'm not sure anyone can fault you, but my god that's not going to help things.

Completely false, it's helping me recharge much better at night.

Don't you guys have like, an entire rivalry murder war thing going on? This isn't gonna escalate that when Tailgate's... I dunno, back?

[He's not judging, so much as he's just baffled.]

If you can call a four million year civil war a "rivalry murder war", then yes we do.

Tailgate won't be back unless another medic shows up. Killing him clearly would have been a temporary solution.

... now there's a phrase I never expected to say.

[Knock Out why. Okay he knows exactly why, but still. When he put such a good PR spin on your murder too.]

[He's so tired he just wants to recharge for a month and not deal with anything.]

[ Soundwave, he can spin this, just you watch... ]

[Siiiiiiiigh........]

[ You try getting ripped apart and the perpetrator getting away scot free... ]

whoa did you kill a dude

Despite that being perfectly justified, I did not kill dear Tailgate. He's simply on leave... medically approved, of course.

are you evil? and EVIL doctor?

i've known a lot of doctors in my time, buddy. so don't lie.

That would depend on who you ask.

[ Knock Out hardly considers himself evil. Morally grey, sure, but who isn't these days? On the other hand, the "mad doctor" moniker he's earned isn't exactly... unearned... ]

[Rich does not like that tone of voice with KO. Rich does not like any robot sounding that smug and proud of itself. He can't help but be confrontational almost immediately, desperate for information.]

What the fuck did you do to him? I thought we agreed to stop this shit!

[ with exaggerated cheer ] He's taking a leave of absence. I'm afraid I can't disclose any more than that -- doctor-patient confidentiality, you understand.

[ Knock Out waves one long claw at the screen, tsking. ]

Ohh no, let's not reinvent the past. We agreed to stop killing each other.

Then what did you do to him if you didn't fucking kill him!? Don't be such a creep about this!

[He grits his teeth, his grip on his tablet shaking.]

Let me see him. If he's not dead, at least let me see what the hell you did!
