[ Otto woke up slumped over a desk in his room, a thick, sour taste in his mouth and his eyelids feeling heavy. It felt like he had the absolute worst nap of his life. ]

[ He yawned and looked over at a clock that read 1:30 AM. Odd... And now that he thinks about it, he begins to recall a strange dream he had. One where he and Klaus were working on modifying their vita-saw into a sword-like contraption, feeling like as if they were fused into one being at certain points... ]

[ But that was ridiculous, there was no way either of them would... ]

[ And there it was. Sitting on the edge of his desk was a heavily modified vita-saw, one that was shaped like a sword with a reinforced needle. ]

[ Carefully, Otto picked it up. It felt heavy in his hands, but in a way that was sort of satisfying to hold and balance. Touching the edge of the blade with his metallic fingertips, it felt like it was sharpened to the point where it could cut through steel like butter. ]

KLAUS?? DID YOU DO THIS??

[ They asked internally, confused yet amazed. ]

YOU DON'T REMEMBER? WE MADE THIS THING TOGETHER AND YOU PASSED OUT RIGHT AFTER. SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SKIPPING YOUR NAPS BEFORE YOU DID

...OH

[ Either way, he was happy with the end result. Maybe now people will realize he's more than capable of fending for himself. ]

[ "You can let your big brother handle things" ]

[ Klaus felt discomfort on a level deeper than he had ever experienced before, and he didn't know why. ]

[ He wanted to sink back into their mental landscape for a little while after that talk, and he knew someone else wanted to come out, so might as well. ]

...I THINK I HAVE TO GO FOR NOW

[ Without waiting for a response, the medibot's body rebooted again. ]

[ And when they woke back up, Oswald was in control. ]

[ Otto felt completely drained. Klaus and Florian have been going at it for days now without letting up even once, and it was beginning to take a toll on the rest of them. ]

[ Quietly, he opened the door to the spybot's room, his voice quiet and tired. ]

CAN I HAVE SOME HELP...?

[ Klaus paused, taking a moment to let his engine quiet down and relaxing his hands. ]

...THATS WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO.

[ Otto felt completely drained. Klaus and Florian have been going at it for days now without letting up even once, and it was beginning to take a toll on the rest of them. ]

[ Quietly, he opened the door to the spybot's room, his voice quiet and tired. ]

[pinniped-medibots]

BUT HE...

[ He couldn't come up with another argument. His fists were clenched and his engine revved in a low growl, but despite the threatening display, it was painfully obvious he wasn't actually going to do anything. ]

...

...IM SCARED OF WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED TO US, WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED TO OZZIE.

[ Otto felt completely drained. Klaus and Florian have been going at it for days now without letting up even once, and it was beginning to take a toll on the rest of them. ]

I KNOW IT WONT- IM JUST MAKING SURE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN !!

[ Klaus raised his voice, but not at Arthur. If you were to ask him who he’s yelling at, he wouldn’t have an answer. ]

BUT FLORIAN DOESN’T LISTEN AND KEEPS MAKING UP MORE AND MORE EXCUSES AND- AND-

[ He’s running out of things to say, and its only frustrating him further. ]

[pinniped-medibots]

I’LL SEE…

[ Otto leaned back, and looked as if he were zoning out as his eyes dimmed ]

[ After a moment, he finished rebooting, and the medibot’s body was a lot more stiff and tense, like he was 2 seconds away from blowing up at something. ]

[ Klaus looked down, and saw Arthur hugging him. He didn’t exactly know what to do here, but it felt nice nonetheless. ]

OTTO SAID YOU WANTED TO SEE ME, JA?

[ Otto felt completely drained. Klaus and Florian have been going at it for days now without letting up even once, and it was beginning to take a toll on the rest of them. ]

[ Quietly, he opened the door to the spybot's room, his voice quiet and tired. ]

I DONT WANNA HURT THEM THOUGH !!

KLAUS IS RIGHT TO BE ANGRY, BUT THE WAY HE’S DOING IT IS JUST…

[ He made a distressed whining sound before putting his arms around Arthur, squeezing it tight. ]

[ Otto put his head in his hands, stressed and confused as to what to do next. ]

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE…

[ Otto went to sit beside Arthur, leaning onto it’s side. ]

WHEN YOU’RE IN CONTROL, DO YOU EVER HEAR ANYONE ELSE YELL AT EACH OTHER IN THE BACKGROUND?

…

HOW DO YOU MAKE THEM STOP?

[ Otto felt completely drained. Klaus and Florian have been going at it for days now without letting up even once, and it was beginning to take a toll on the rest of them. ]

[a prop dollar slides under the door]

[ Oswald peeks out of the toy chest they were hiding in, tilting their head at the prop dollar. ]

[ They tried to reach for it, but their arm was suddenly yanked back by Florian momentarily taking control ]

NONO- THAT KIND OF MONEY IS BAD FOR YOU, LINZER. NEXT TIME YOU SEE ONE YOU TELL ONE OF US, OKAY?

…OKAYY, I WILL

…I DONT THINK ANY OF US ARE

KLAUS AND FLORIAN HAVE BEEN ARGUING NONSTOP EVER SINCE WE GOT HOME. I JUST WANT THEM TO BE QUIET ALREADY

[pinniped-medibots]

uhm, here

[hands oswald a soft, seal patterned blankie]

please stop crying

-fun fact anon

[ Oswald looks at the blanket for a moment before draping it around themself. It felt so, so soft against their metal hull, causing their engine to rev in a calming purr almost immediately. ]

[ They look over at the toy chest in their room before opening it up, climbing inside it with the blanket, and closing it on themself. ]

[pinniped-medibots]

[ Yelling rang out in the back of the medibot’s shared mind as Otto laid in bed, staring up at the ceiling, his eyes dim and tired. ]

[ It’s been like this for hours now. Florian and Klaus going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, over and over again. ]

I WAS JUST TRYING TO RESOLVE THINGS PEACEFULLY!!

PEACEFULLY?! DID THAT BASTARD EVER GIVE US ANY PEACE?! NO!! HE DIDN’T AND HE DOESN’T DESERVE ANY!!

KLAUS, IM NOT GOING STRAIGHT TO BREAKING SOMEONE’S SPINE, I JUST-

I DONT CARE!! YOU’RE JUST PULLING OUT EXCUSES FOR BEING A COWARD!! YOU COULD’VE GOTTEN US KILLED! YOU COULD’VE GOTTEN OZZIE KILLED!!

PLEASE DONT BRING THEM INTO THIS-

OR WHAT?? YOU’LL SERVE ME TO DEATH??

[ Otto wanted so badly for the two of them to shut up already. Yelling reverberated off the inside of his head, echoing and distorting until it was all just angry noise. ]

[ They couldn’t for the life of them understand why Klaus was so fixated on this. Florian must’ve explained himself a billion times by now and even then Klaus wasn’t satisfied. It felt like he wanted to be angry just for the sake of being angry. ]

[ Otto rolled over onto his stomach, grabbing a pillow and yelling into it in frustration. ]

Do you think we'd be friends in another universe?

Us in another universe:

[pinniped-medibots]

YIMMY !!

[ Otto rushed over to the cabinet, getting down on his knee to get on eye level with Ymir. ]

YIMMY IM SO SORRY I- I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED OR WHY KLAUS DID THAT OR… OR…

[ He reached out and hugged Ymir as they madd a distressed whining sound. ]

Whrrrrrr…

[ Judging from the sound of a wheel rolling across the floor, you think it would be Otto, or Florian, maybe Udo or Oswald. But this didn’t sound like any of them. ]

[ It was like they were intentionally pressing their wheel against the ground as hard as possible, like the medibot equivalent of clenching your teeth. ]

@pinniped-medibots

[ymir poked its head out of its room, having noticed the sound]

FELLOW UNITS? ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

#tf2 rp #hat collection #joyous! wondrous! #emotionally anxious spybots #pinniped medibots

[pinniped-medibots]

[ It took a few agonizingly long minutes, but then finally, Otto managed to wrestle back control. ]

[ He took a few moments to orient himself before wheeling off to find Ymir, panic, guilt and anxiety flooding his mind like a collapsed dam. ]

YIMMY?? ARE YOU THERE??

Whrrrrrr…

[ Judging from the sound of a wheel rolling across the floor, you think it would be Otto, or Florian, maybe Udo or Oswald. But this didn’t sound like any of them. ]

[pinniped-medibots]

[ The kick took Klaus by surprise, causing him to drop Ymir and give it an opportunity to escape, while also giving Otto an opportunity to try and wrestle back control. ]

STOP !! STOP !! YOU'RE HURTING IT !!

IT COULD HURT US EVEN WORSE IF WE LET IT ACT THIS WAY!!

Whrrrrrr…
