[Justice is cruel, and Minimus, when he is not pleased, is even crueler.]
That shows you and Riptide at the scene of the crime. I need you to follow me to the interrogation room immediately. [He shuts off the datapad and glares at Tailgate.] I will contact Whirl once you are in custody.
[Tailgate is so trustworthy. He's so believable that Magnus has to call Whirl while walking to the interrogation rooms to see if this claim holds any merit.]

Date: 2022-02-09 10:09 pm (UTC)[Tailgate says, his optics widening. He channels the power of his sweet and innocent appearance as hard as he can.]
What's that from? I was with Whirl all day.

What was the crime? Is it okay for me to ask that?

You think that I-?
I didn't do it, I swear!

Date: 2022-02-13 09:09 pm (UTC)I was with Whirl the entire day, I swear! So much weird stuff goes on on this ship that there has to be another explanation!

no subject
Date: 2022-02-17 06:25 pm (UTC)Have you ever tried to watch Whirl's movies? They're so confusing and boring that staying awake during them is basically a superpower.

no subject
Date: 2022-02-17 07:22 pm (UTC)Look, weird things happen all the time!
Maybe it was a shape changer! Or an illusionist?
Either way, I was with Whirl in his room.

Trying to make a game console.
It didn't go very well.

You remember.
