Waspinator&#39;s Journal

*Air isn't exactly glad to be remind of what happened to him.* Yes, Quick. That's exactly what I mean. If there's anything left of him after all this time...

From:

*Ballade just grins* It works.

Hey, what color spraypaint should I use next time? Maybe something sparkly?

From:

*Quint looks worried at that, and puts his helmet back on to hide most of the expression* If... If he's very bad, I know some people who might help.

From:

*Crash is trying to ignore the less pleasant conversation going on at the moment. He smirks at the thought of painting Wind.* I don't know, Ballade. I think it might be amusing to try pink or something else that would look absolutely ridiculous.

From:

*Quick looks rather unhappy.* We can deal with this, Air. There has to be something left. *He doesn't want to think of the possibility that Metal might be beyond help.* I just wish I had thought to look in Wind's little domain to see if Metal was there when I was searching. I messed up there.

From:

*Air sounds a bit upset.* Quick, it isn't your fault. We didn't think Wind would try anything like that without permission. He always got permission from Wily before. We could deal with it before it happened when we knew from Wind asking.

*Tango purrs, yawns, and snuggles to help distract Crash*

From:

Maybe bows? It's not violent to tie bows on someone either.

From:

pogo_boy

*Quint doesn't want to think of that possibility either.*

From:

crashbombs

*Crash smiles a bit when Tango starts snuggling him. He pauses a bit to think before responding.* That would work too. As petty as it is, if we can't outright attack him in the Nexus, why not irritate him as much as possible? He deserves worse than spray paint or bows. If he decides to start something, then maybe there would be a chance to take him down before he runs like a coward...

*Flash looks a bit puzzled when he starts paying attention to the conversation again.* What do you guys mean? What did Wind do to him? *He's a bit startled. Metal was the oldest Beta; he shouldn't be hurt like this easily. Flash always had this little blind spot, thinking of his older siblings as a bit more perfect that they are.*

From:

*Quick shakes his head.* I should have realized that he was going to start that eventually. Maybe if I had, he wouldn't have gotten to some of the others he did... *looking over at Flash* I think you might want to handle those questions, Air.

From:

*Air is getting a little annoyed, oddly enough for him.* Quick, would you stop that? It's not helping anyone to have you standing around, moping and blaming yourself about things outside of your control.

*Air sighs, trying to think of the best way to tell Flash. When he does speak, it's in a slightly more detached tone.* Wind has made a hobby of working on personality override chips, among other things. He used some of our brothers as test subjects.

From:

Um... *Ballade tries to think of something worse than spraypaint and bows that would not be stopped by the no-violence field*

There's also glitter. Or finding some way to turn him chibi. That happened to Quint once.

Or I've heard there are some things in the Nexus that can change someone's gender

*He wonders briefly if Wind really has one, before the train of thought switches away from that as too disturbing to contemplate*

Or, um, y'know... I kinda wish my universe's Quick and Crash were here, cause they play pranks all the time and could probably come up with a huge list of things to do to Wind that wouldn't be stopped by the no-violence field.

*remembering some incident or other* What about tar and feathers?

From:

pogo_boy

*Quint shivers slightly at the mention of the chips, remembering having to fight Shadow, and mutters something very derogatory in German about Wind*

From:

crashbombs

*Crash laughs a bit.* Glitter probably wouldn't do much on its own though. I doubt he would care about being covered in sparkles. Having him turned chibi would be entertaining though... *He doesn't mention the more disturbing gender changing idea.* Tar and feathers would work though. *He snickers.*

((Fell asleep at my desk last night or I would have responded sooner.))

*Flash looks a bit scared on hearing that.* Lord Wily lets him do that? But why? *He pauses a bit, shaking.* Who else has he done it to?

From:

*Quick still looks a bit upset, and it's very clear he's still kicking himself over this.* How are the repairs going?

From:

*Air sighs.* He had a version of one in your systems, which was removed. He's also gotten several of the others... Shadow included. He also tried one on Elec. It didn't work. Elec is... gone now.

*Air looks at the screen.* About half done, I'd say, Quick. You ready for this?

From:

*Ballade's still grinning, seeming oblivious to the conversation about Metal.* Hey, anything would stick to him after the tar. Feathers. Flowers. Bits of lace. Um.. what are some other things?

And he'd have a hard time getting it all off too, without getting sticky tar everywhere. *Ballade laughs*

From:

pogo_boy

*Quint hugs Quick* It's not your fault. It's Wind's. And Wily's, for allowing Wind to do this.

((I fell asleep too. Sleep happens :) ))

From:

crashbombs

*Crash grins.* Glitter or confetti might work too... The kind of mess that would cause would probably take him getting help to get it off.

*snickering* Looks like I'm going to have to pull some stuff together for next time Wind visits the Nexus.

*Flash is even more shock on hearing who than he was at hearing how long he had been deactivated for.* Both of them? But how? *He gets quiet, letting things start to sink in. Neither of those mentioned were Betas, but still, he had a lot of respect for them...*

From:

*Quick sounds a bit nervous on hearing about the repairs.* I'm not sure I'm ready, Air, but it needs to be done. I don't know that it would be possible to be ready for this... *quietly* I still feel responsible, Quint. Like I should have been able to do more to stop Wind.
