[ Jolt is clearly gearing up to go somewhere. A few extra layers of clothing keep the acidic rain off of him as much as possible, and he's armed himself with, of all things, an extension chord from the garage. It's not his whips, but it's close enough.

And residents of 1249 Williams Road will notice there's a guy on their couch with ice on his knee- that would be poor Sideswipe. ]

Harley? Jeff? ... Kaito? This is my friend, Sideswipe. He's under strict orders not to get off the couch. I need one of you to keep an eye on him for me. There's a note with instructions for him, I shouldn't be gone long, but make sure he does as he's told. If he starts being stubborn, tell him I'll kick his other knee in if he doesn't behave.

[ From what he's heard, there's an actual election going on now, and if the milkman was the cause of all this- if he's the reason his friend can't walk right now- well, then he's going to set things right as best he can. Mayfield has offered a way, and he's going to take advantage of it. ]

Here goes nothing.

((ooc; Bend time as you like and interact with him out on the street or in the house.))

Mmhmm. I do. I had thought you'd forgotten.

[just going to roll over on this couch and not look at you >\]

Hey.

I'll be back, I promise.

[just waves a hand at you.]

I would rather you didn't go at all. You saw me when you hauled me in...

I'll be fine. I'm not going to start a riot, or to stop one. I'm gonna go, vote, and then come right back.

Neither was I when I was headed here... they attacked me anyway.

I'm still going, Sideswipe.

[Rolls back over]

... Why.

Don't talk like you wouldn't do the same. It may not be a conventional way of taking down the creep who started all of this, but it's a way, and I'm taking it.

... I know I would. But don't talk to me like you wouldn't be concerned.

[ a pause, and he comes back into the living room after a moment. ] You know I can't not go.

... I know. I couldn't either... if we were reversed.

But I still... dislike it.

I'll try my best to stay out of trouble. I promise.

You? Stay out of trouble? That's like saying I would ever go the speed limit.

I said I'd try. That's the best you're gonna get.

...

[Rolls back over]

No. You will come back in one piece. You're going to be careful.

Fine. [ kneels down a bit and grasps your arm ] I will be careful, and I will come back in one piece. You have my word.

[Erk-! Hi... there. Forget the arm. Give me your hand.]

... Well... so long as I've got your word.

[ blinks a couple of times, but then he smiles, giving your hand a little squeeze ]

Who knows? If this all pans out, we could have our bodies back by tomorrow.
