[Tailgate's place | Friday | Locked to Fulcrum]

It's Tailgate's turn now to wait for Fulcrum to come pick him up. He had totally been looking forward to this all week, and even bought a pretty long piece of blue clothing just for the occasion. Organics called it a dress, and he liked it a lot! It even seemed to be made with his human shape in mind, how convenient! He made sure to wash and comb his hair, and even figured out how to put it up and use a hair elastic. That took way longer than he expected it to.

He had just finished tugging everything into place when someone knocked on his door. "Coming!" He shouted, bounding through the living room and gracelessly yanking it open. "Hello! Hi! It's good to see you!"

[Library | Sunday | Open to all]

If asked, Tailgate might admit that he didn't actually know how to use the library. It was so different from the Cybertronian one he visited once in his lifetime. It took no time at all to become lost. But during his journey, he managed to find exactly what he was looking for: A book on the human anatomy. It was big and full of words he didn't understand, and it probably weighed more than his little organic body did.

Tailgate can be found sitting at a table with an intense look scrawled on his face. Open before him was a basic diagram of the human digestive system. None of it made any sense to him, but good golly is he going to try. Next to him there's a stack of books that include: An Overview of World History, Worldwide Desserts, Green Eggs and Ham, Palmistry, and The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation.

Next to him seemed to be a large can of some kind of energy drink. That might explain why he's vibrating slightly.

It takes a moment for that to sink it. Tailgate stares at the stranger with a blank expression for all of two seconds before he shrieks and tosses the book he was reading at the stranger's face. It is a very heavy book, and the effort ends up knocking Tailgate clean out of his chair.

"Aaaaaaaah!"

PANIC PANIC PANIC!

Rodimus doesn't even have time to react when the large book is hurled, and it catches him squarely in the face making him reel back. That was a lot more...violent a reaction than he'd been expecting.

"Primus, Tailgate, I'm joking, I'm JOKING! It's Rodimus!" He leans over the table to see if the little bot has hurt himself falling out of the chair. As he does he notices the spots of red dripping onto the table.

Surprised, he reaches up to find he's leaking from his nose, fingers coming away the bright red of human energon.

"R-Rodimus?"

He squeaks, pulling himself back up and looking tearfully up at his captain. His heart is pounding and his head hurts a lot. That's probably not a good thing. He quickly stops thinking about himself when he sees the red dripping down Rodimus' face. Oh no! With that, he starts panicking again.

"Y-Your nose is bleeding! W-We should find you a piece of cloth or something! Aaaah this is all my fault, I'm so sorry! Please don't be mad!"

"It's alright, Tailgate...I shouldn't've scared you like that," he holds a hand up to his nose, growing concerned. Primus, humans are delicate; the book hadn't really even hurt him all that badly and here he was, bleeding like he's been shot or something. He doesn't even know how humans stop bleeding. Or how much they can bleed or...or anything really.

"What - what do I do? You've been reading all those books, haven't you? Is this...is it gonna stop on it's own?"
