 [So yeah, that whole true-form thing happened, and needless to say, Wheeljack's not happy that he's back in his tiny, fleshy body. So not-happy that he punched a wall out of anger.  Needless to say, he's got it in bandages right now.

You idiot.]

I'll be at Digital Dive if anyone needs me.



Try not to need me.

[There's no Digimon this time. It seems like they know him well enough to give him some quiet time.]

[You won't get a better shot, Sora. He's pretty much just sitting there in his own daze.

Or...that's what it seems like. If you try to jump scare, he might reach around to grab you.

What can he say? A few thousand years'll do that.]

[heartdive]

[ perhaps Sora will think better of it. the guy is kind of in a gloomy mood - or at least Sora has picked up on that.

so maybe he'll just sit down by WJ and give a little shoulder bump. ]

Hey.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[The shoulder bump is appreciated, as he gives a small smile. Maybe it was just Sora's presence, but it made him feel a bit better.]

Hey kid.

Take it ya found me alright.

[heartdive]

You're kind of hard to miss, you know.

[ it's because he's your kid, WJ. and maybe the fact that he is, essentially judge free. he's not even going to push - at the moment anyway - to know what's going on. Sora will give WJ the time he needs ( until his patience runs out ) to start talking. ]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[A sad smile as he slowly nudges that shoulder back. Just to have some kind of reaction. But he realizes that maybe calling the kid down here and not saying anything is kind of...stupid, he'll explain.]

I uh...mighta--no, I definitely--messed some stuff up.

[heartdive]

If you want to talk about it, I'll listen.

[ but Wheeljack doesn't HAVE to. not if he doesn't want to. but Sora will do his best to listen... and maybe give advice. if needed. of course Sora can also snatch the guy to do something fun too. whatever is needed. ]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[Well, if he couldn't open up to this kid, who could he? Sora had practically wormed his way into his life, and now it seemed like it would feel strange if he WASN'T there.

He sighs, clasping his hands together and looking down.]

Arcee and I...you know we're...

[Dating.]

[heartdive]

You're...?

[ he hasn't really met Arcee, save for perhaps once. now Sora knows that Arcee is pretty important to Wheeljack. but he doesn't know HOW important. ]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[Whelp, time to confess to everything.]

I'm--We're kinda...seein' each other.

[Was that the correct term? It was still pretty new to him.]

[heartdive]

Should I be singing Wheeljack and Arcee sitting in a tree?

[ light teasing. this is kind of news for him. but hey, if it makes WJ happy! ]

I'll stop now.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[You'll have to definitely sing that for him, Sora. The rhyme's totally lost on him.]

Heh, maybe. If...I get it fixed.

[See: that's what dad screwed up.]

[heartdive]

[ that settles it. Sora is going to have to sing it at some point. maybe he can get Bee to join him.

but what WJ says hits him and OH. OH, DUDE, WHAT DID YOU DO. ]

What happened?

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[No don't Bee's probably a shit singer.]

...I uh...


Like I said. Messed up.


She needed me and I wasn't there for her. Worse, I told people not to need me just awhile ago. Didn't...look too good, if ya get what I mean.

[heartdive]

...Well what are you doing here, you big dummy? You should be going and just trying to talk to her. Apologizing might be a good thing...
