[action] AU Event Joint Post

[ACTION; around town]
[Greetings, Mayfield. On this fine evening, should you be so inclined, you may witness a pair of giant alien robots moving about town. You're probably familiar with them, as they've been in town for quite some time.]

[Nothing looks immediately different about them. Except that Sideswipe seems to be leaning on Jolt a little, and moving somewhat unsteadily -- like he thinks he's unused to walking. Both their expressions seem unusually solemn, Jolt's in particular, and they don't speak much. If it's possible for robots, they somehow look older, more worn, even if there isn't a physical mark on them.]

[They seem to be moving with a set destination in mind -- toward the park -- but, if approached, will more than likely stop for the random passerby who cares to say hello.]



[ACTION; the park]
[Upon arriving at their destination, they separate, and Sideswipe begins skating in lazy circles around the park area. The solemn look on his face suddenly evaporates, as he laughs outright, picking up speed.]

[Jolt can be found watching him, under a tree, also looking much more pleased with himself.]




((ooc: joint post! Responses may come from either Jolt (electrowhipit) or Sideswipe, or both. Both of them have been AU'd to a very bad end.))

[ It's hard not to laugh when Sideswipe does it too. ]

It's good to see you move like that again.

[stabbywheelfeet]

It feels good to move like this again. I didn't... think it was possible.

[electrowhipit]

[ Jolt gives a light chuckle ]

You haven't lost form, I see.

[stabbywheelfeet]

I'd tried not to. In part, at least.

[He skates backward for a few paces.]

I still find it difficult to believe it's possible.

[electrowhipit]

You deserve it. I only wish I could have done better for you.

[stabbywheelfeet]

You did the best you could with what you had.

I can't ask more of you. None of us could.

[electrowhipit]

[ He sakes his head, and something in his tone indicates a self-depreciating smile ] I still feel like I could have done more.

[stabbywheelfeet]

It's all right. I don't blame you. I can't.

[He holds a hand out.]

You did all you could. How could I ask for more?

[electrowhipit]

[ He takes that hand- they've had a lot of practice holding hands, despite how differently they're made. ]

You always know just what to say.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Not always.

[Despite how awkward it is, he runs a thumb over one of Jolt's fingers.]

Remember? This is... a fairly recent development.

[electrowhipit]

Let me have my moment, Sideswipe.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Only because you insist.

All right. I always know what to say.
