~forty~ (and to hell with everything)

Jun 27, 2011 23:00

[Klavier's droned. For good.

Needless to say, Ema's taken the discovery pretty hard. The two of them had been together for over a year after arriving within a few months of each other. Yes, lately things had been strained, but they had been working through it. Klavier was her rock, the man who gave her comfort when the town hit her too hard, ( Read more... )

My.

Coward.

glowing_science June 28 2011, 21:14:02 UTC

What did you just call me?

sturmbahnfurher June 30 2011, 02:35:16 UTC

Simply what you currently are.

glowing_science June 30 2011, 02:58:39 UTC

How do you figure?

If you sink into despair, they've won. Use it to drive you, instead.

[phone] glowing_science June 28 2011, 21:16:34 UTC

... I plan to.

Just... not today. Maybe it's giving this town a small victory, but... I need a day. I'm only human.

[He'd heard the message. And had spent a while trying to decide how best to respond. He'd come up with nothing at all.]

[So... instead. He decides he should go try to find her. Not that he remembers where she lives, but as the Corvette pulls out onto his street, he realizes that's not exactly a problem. She's just down the road, out in front of a house.]

[He slows to a stop, behind her, letting the engine idle.]

glowing_science June 28 2011, 21:20:53 UTC

[Ema hears the car pull up and turns around to see who it is. She's not surprised to find the Corvette idling there.]

Hey, Sideswipe.

I guess you heard?

weaponsparked June 28 2011, 21:24:10 UTC

[The car flips and folds until it's just the Autobot crouching there, and looking as concerned as his facial construction will allow.]

I did... So... I suppose asking if you're all right is an entirely stupid question.

glowing_science June 28 2011, 21:34:57 UTC

It is. I'm not.

[She sighs heavily, sinking her hands into the pockets of her lab coat as her body slumps.]

It's just... not fair. And I wasn't ready for this. At all.

[Uh oh. That doesn't look good.]

...Ema?

glowing_science June 28 2011, 21:21:53 UTC

[Ema turns from throwing a rock.]

...Kay.

[She glances back at the house before turning toward the younger girl entirely.]

Klavier's gone.

thief_of_truth June 29 2011, 20:53:22 UTC

...Oh.

[Kay frowns sympathetically, just moving over to offer a hug.]

I'm really sorry, Ema.

glowing_science June 30 2011, 03:01:38 UTC

[Ema accepts the hug without question. Kay's always been a good friend to her, even with the strange time difference between them.]

Thank you. I... I just need a bit of time.

The question of joy here is immaterial. The important thing is to get people home.

To get everyone home.

glowing_science June 28 2011, 21:23:12 UTC

I know that's the important thing.

But... it's hard to keep morale when they drone the people closest to you. That's all.

lunawolves10th July 1 2011, 02:02:31 UTC

I quite agree. I have lost several close comrades of late to droning. The key is to fight on in their memory, because....

We know what happens to them, now. Why we must save them.

glowing_science July 3 2011, 04:55:19 UTC

... you have a point.

I just need a day to mourn him. Is that... it sounds weak and stupid, but I need it.
