[riptide is pale. very pale. his optics are wide and the usual deep yellow glow of them is so intense it's almost white.
his grin is uneasy and forced.]
Hi! Just a quick note - who deals with the Ingress junk mail? Can I ask you not to leave body-- [he stops, inhales.] --just be more careful where you leave stuff, yeah? And, uh. Personal request. If anything comes through for me, space it. I don-- I don't want it. Ever.
[he looks about ready to shut off the video but stops.]
...Rodimus, don't look in the blue crate in the cargo bay. Just leave it.

[ Snake shrugs one shoulder, a "what-can-you-do" kind of motion. ]
Listen, I know you probably don't want to make waves, but if he comes after you again? I have experience taking out giant robots. Not sentient ones, they were piloted, but still.
[ So there. The cat's out of the bag. ]
no subject
He's just...
...Stay away from him.
no subject
On the other hand, he doesn't want to underestimate Tarn either. ]
So what, we're just gonna keep letting him get away with this? There's got to be another option.
no subject
[he doesn't feel positive about it.]
no subject
[ That doesn't mean that it's impossible, but Snake can understand that Riptide doesn't want to meddle with something that's more likely to get people killed than fix the problem. ]
Then let me put it this way. Is there anything that can be done to keep further deaths to a minimum?
[ It doesn't matter if it's a temporary thing, Snake doesn't want people to die needlessly if they can prevent that. ]
no subject
[riptide runs through the djd names mentally, scowling ever so slightly when he gets to tarn and draws a blank.]
no subject
[ Snake assumes that Riptide doesn't use Tarn's name as a way of showing disrespect. He has no reason to think there's anything more to it.
He can sense that Riptide doesn't really want to talk about this anymore, though, so he figures he'll check in with Megatron, much as the idea exhausts him. ]
Look... [ Snake meets Riptide's eyes, as much as he can manage that over the MID. ] Don't let this place get to you. I don't know what point it was trying to make with the mail, or if it was trying to make a point at all, but you shouldn't make yourself nuts over it.
no subject
[it's just hard when it's his friend and he tried so hard to save them both but just couldn't bring himself to go back after megatron got him.]
no subject
[ Snake runs a hand through his hair and then down the back of his neck. There's not much else that he can do for Riptide, and he's hit with that moment of clarity that he's trying to console a giant robot.
Whatever. ]
Hang in there, all right?
no subject
[look into his big soulful yellow eyes, snake. look at them. he's upset.]
Thanks.
no subject
Not sure there's anything to thank me for.

[ Pause. ]
I'm... not really the best at talking, so you're probably better off finding someone else. If you don't have any other options, though...
[ He shrugs. ]
no subject
[how much are you regretting snake]
no subject
All right, I think we're done here.
