009- [phone] Practical considerations....

springtime4me[Hitler has been nowhere to be found since Christmas, but he did leave presents under the tree for his not!family. For Nigel there is a junior chemistry set, which he figures the kid can use in that weird spy game he's always playing. It's just adorable how he's always sneaking around pretending to be a secret agent or something.... Sideswipe gets a first aid kit and a book on basic health and medicine, because it seems like he gets hurt a whole lot. Maybe it's because he isn't used to having a human body.... And there is even a gift for drone!mom. She gets a sewing kit to replace the one that he's been using since he got there. There is also a shiny new bunker on the front lawn.]
[Hitler has been sitting in that bunker for the better part of two days. He isn't stupid. He knows exactly what he has to do. And it's probably what he should do. The town was probably trying to teach him a lesson about believing that he could escape who and what he was. Believing that he could make friends and have a life of his own. He didn't deserve any of that. But.... did he really deserve this? To die the way his original did? Was there no way to escape fate? He had prayed for answers, clutching his Almighty Dolly tightly, like a lifeline. But none came. Maybe now it's time to accept his fate......
So he picks up the gun, and the phone, and makes one last call. This call is for purely practical reasons, but he can't quite keep his voice steady.]
He- hello? Umm..... I was just wondering...... If.... someone was going to k-kill themselves, with a gun, what would be the least painful way?

Date: 2010-12-29 05:44 am (UTC)There. No. You didn't commit any damn crime. You didn't do anything wrong. You just... tried to protect yourself. That doesn't mean you deserve death. Maybe a time out or garbage detail, something--
You haven't hurt anyone. You're just a damned child. So... hold on. We'll figure some way to get you out.

Date: 2010-12-29 06:04 am (UTC)Why? Why do you care? Why would anyone care about me?
[By now he's actually addressing the Almighty Dolly, but over the phone there's really no way to tell.]
Isn't this what I deserve? I don't know if I.... What should I do....?
no subject
Date: 2010-12-29 06:10 am (UTC)... Because I'm Autobot. It's our duty to protect the innocent. Because I told myself once, not... terribly long ago... that I couldn't allow another human to come to harm, if I could do something about it. My personal... atonement, in a way.
Even if... it's only this place that's done it, you're my responsibility now. I can't let this happen. You've done nothing wrong.

Date: 2010-12-30 04:22 am (UTC)You know..... I don't know if you'll find this strange or creepy or insulting, but.... You and Nigel are the closest thing to a family I've ever had.
And that's.... it's really meant a lot to me that you both treat me so kindly. Thank you...

There's no reason for me to treat you otherwise.
no subject
Date: 2010-12-30 04:57 am (UTC)You have no idea how much it means to me to hear you say that....
..........I don't think I can do it. I don't think I really have the nerve to kill myself.

Date: 2010-12-30 05:02 am (UTC)[A pause.]
Then don't. There's no reason for you to. Don't let the town make you think there is.
no subject
Date: 2010-12-30 05:10 am (UTC)But I think I might wind up dying anyway....
no subject
Date: 2010-12-30 05:42 am (UTC)No, you won't. We'll figure some way to get in there. We have to.

Date: 2011-01-04 08:46 am (UTC)[I asked the mods if he could be broken out of the bunker with help, they never responded, and the initial letter said there was only one way out. (the gun) So I think Hitler was probably just stuck in there until the event ended. Or possibly died of dehydration in the meantime. Thoughts?]
OOC
Date: 2011-01-04 08:07 pm (UTC)ANYWAY UM. It's your call, since it's your gift and all. As far as this guy goes, he'd probably try his best to get in there, and if that failed, sit out there and wait for Not!Son like a pathetic... thing.))
