finally hauling his butt to re_alignment

[staresat]

...

[Oh how these little news updates get less and less pleasant for him. He gets the joy of being tossed into a game with his optic still blasted out from his last canon point.]

I do not see the purpose of arriving already damaged. It is unnecessary.

Comments

[goingdownfighting]

Hey now, I wouldn't say that. Sure makes my job a whooole lot easier.

[But a whole lot less fun and he's crying on the inside, really.]

[staresat]

[For someone who doesn't have a face, he's quite good at radiating unpleasant creeper waves right at his intended target.]

[Can you tell how happy he is to see you, Cliff?]

[neverputincharge]

...good to know my mun aint the only one that likes to app us injured and damaged.

[staresat]

So this occurs often.

[It's a thing. Of course it's a thing.]

[neverputincharge]

Conderin' mine apped me barely able to walk after nearly dyin'? I'd say so.

Muns can be cruel when they wanna be.

[staresat]

That is unfortunate.

[Not really because you're an Autobot. But in terms of being thrown into something at a disadvantage, that's pretty sucky for you.]

[neverputincharge]

Tell me about it. Only upside is I think she might be plannin' to update me out of it. Have to wait and see.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Look at it this way.

Better than bein' in a space bridge.

[staresat]

[Oh it's you. With the face. No seriously your smarmy face, Wheeljack.]

That does not make it less of a poor choice.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Poor choice for who? I'm lookin' forward to it!

Heard that's a gift from Cliffjumper. Pretty nice of him, if you ask me.



You should write him a thank-you.

[staresat]

So the War continues on this Cybertron as well.

[Should he have expected any less of them? And 'they' didn't just include Autobots. He could recognize that his own faction was full of bloodthirsty crazies that would kickstart an unnecessary war.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Wouldn't say that. Everyone's been pretty civil if I say so myself.

There's even a Starscream that likes me. Who knew.

[staresat]

[What's that?]

[That's the sound of a thoughtful pause, Wheeljack.]

[He might have actually been a little surprised there. A little tiny bit.]

It is for the better.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Wait. You're sayin' ya agree to this?

[staresat]

The previous war destroyed our civilization.

[Does he need to explain any more? He'd rather not be picking through the dead bodies of cities, revitalizing ancient technology. Not when they could be focusing on higher goals. Like improving themselves.]

[This was a second chance. It was actually... a rather enticing prospect.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

So if you're not in favor of this scrap, why you on the Con side?

[Maybe you were too creepy to make the Autobot cut.]

[staresat]

There are no ideals to hold back my work.

[Well that was certainly not ominous in any way. Also Megatron was pretty damn inspiring back before he was a crazy.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

...And your work includes....

[Very ominous.

Also he would pay you one million dollars in robot money if you called him a crazy out loud.]

[staresat]

[Well that silence certainly isn't helping in the ominous and foreboding department.]

[People just don't understand.]

You will see.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Think I'll pass on that one, Shocks.

[You're creepin' him out.]

[staresat]

[He doesn't want to ruin the surprise.]

It will not concern you if you do not involve yourself.

[For now, anyway.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

And if I involve myself...? What happens to me?

[staresat]

...

[He really shouldn't say.]

Do not think on it.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

No really, humor me.

[staresat]

No.

[Well okay then. At least he's not going to pretend to try to explain his thoughts.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

I bet you're the life of parties, huh.

[noparachutes]

Such issues are easily rectified.

[staresat]

[Don't mind the silence, he's just giving you a scrutinizing look-over.]
[Looks like someone is a bit more intrigued in you, at least for a total of about thirty seconds.]

Rectifying the issue while blind will be the most pressing problem.

[noparachutes]

You would not have to.

[staresat]

[Oh? He only knew that he was being sent to an infant Cybertron, without any details onto who or what was already there.]

[That second pause is him waiting for some extra details to be divulged.]

[noparachutes]

There are plenty that would assist you.

[staresat]

...

[Don't mind him, after so many years of war it's just a little unusual to accept the idea that someone would just 'help'.]

[Unless said person was already specifically aligned with his side, but he was assuming otherwise.]

I see.
