[riptide is not nearly skilled enough to deal with this. whirl is staring at him and then at the head and then-- he keeps holding the tarp out, not wanting to make any sudden movements, though his hands get a little shaky. he doesn't know what to do if whirl starts talking to the head.
teebs had been so confused when riptide showed up at the bar, telling him to come see something cool. riptide doesn't like thinking about how teeb's head looks with the hole in it and he can see the brain module, trailcutter had been making a stupid joke when riptide was trying to get them back to the alt-ingress, trying to hide his slowly increasing panic.
for a brief moment, the flat blue lid of the crate looks like the same colour as pipes, and all riptide can think about are the mangled corpses of people he knew in the quantum duplicate lost light.
riptide shakes his head, carefully putting the head back into the crate when whirl drops it.]
You got it.
[he barely spares whirl a glance as he backs away from the crate, not really wanting to look at the lid again.]
