[AUDIO TRANSMISSION: ALPHA TRION'S TEMPLE]

Uh... before the finger pointing starts, whoever died, I swear I didn't kill them.

[Someone found his present.]

...Rung? I found a box with your name on it. If you want it.

A bartender?

[He tilts his head a bit.]

You should consider helping out at the bar here. Despite what you may think, I think you'd be able to do so fairly easily.

[And, if he had to, he'd talk to certain individuals as well.]

So a mission gone wrong is why you rely on power cores?

Wheeljack said I should too.

[And he said no in more ways than needed.]

I liked my job, but here no one would take drinks from a Decepticon, especially not one like me. I'd be bad for the bar's business.

... It didn't go wrong. It went perfectly, it's just... Have you heard of Dark Energon?

I think you're assuming things, Dead End. The bar, especially, is a neutral ground from what I understand. I don't think you'd be bad for business at all.

[At least he really hopes that wouldn't be the case. Then again, with the way he's seen some individuals here act..]

Dark Energon?

[He frowns thoughtfully before shaking his head.]

I can't say that I have.

I'm not assuming. The second anyone finds out what my diet is, and the bar might as well not bother opening. I'd made it empty by just existing.

... They say its Unicron's blood. It's why Megatron's as powerful as he is now... He's here by the way. You should stay away from him. Or just looking in his direction. But, uh. Yeah... Turns out the stuff's a bit radioactive. I didn't know, and traveling with it for as long as I did... It affects everyone differently. This is just what it did to me.

[Basically he's been cursed by Unicron's blood. Fun times.]

Dead Enc, don't say that.

[He hates the idea of anyone treating another in that fashion, especially when Dead End seems genuinely nice to him.

Going quiet as the other explains what dark energon is, Rung can't help but feel completely put off and a bit on the scared side by the idea of it. It doesn't sound pleasant, in the least, and if it can do things like it had done to Dead End..]

...I'm sorry that happened to you...I hope that substance never shows itself here.

But it's true.

[He knows how other bots get around him. And that's exactly what usually happens.]

If it does, stay away from it... Or, give it to me. Should be able to keep it out of everyone's way if any does show up.

Not where I'm concerned.

[He's going to be stubborn about that at least.]

...I'll keep that in mind.

[Even if he's not a fan of the idea of subjecting Dead End to more of it.]

...I don't think I'd be good for the bar.

[He shakes his head. It just wouldn't work. Not with him. Despite his qualifications.]

You never know until you try..and maybe it would help chance opinions of you.

Bartenders can't be depressing... I am.

I don't think you're all that depressing, not when you actually allow yourself to talk.

I don't... Actually talk that much anymore, Rung. Used to talk a lot, but now it's more of... Just with certain people.

[Well. Saying more than a few sentences at least. If he wasn't asking questions.]

Why don't you? Talk more, I mean.

[Mini-sessions go!]

Well...

[The Dark Energon mostly.]

There doesn't seem to be much point in it.

Because you don't want to talk or because you don't think others will listen?

...Others won't listen, they never do.

And in the end it won't matter who said what.

How can you be certain that everyone is the same?

I haven't really been proven wrong.

[Rung doesn't count.]

That doesn't mean you should give up, Dead End.

[He does to. B|]

[There's a slight tilt of his head as he looks at Rung.]

Why shouldn't I?

[Rung is special, but he's not enough to make him believe that he just needs to give everyone a chance. And being positive isn't something he's very good at.]

Because there a lot of good individuals out there, Dead End, even if it doesn't seem like it right away.

[He smiles softly at the larger bot.]

If you give up on everyone, you might miss the ones that will end up meaning the most to you.

Never really seems like it, Rung...

I. I think I'd be okay with that. After a while. It would be typical of my life.

[Life. Acid storming on him all the time. As life did to those it hated.]

Trust me when I say I understand.

[He reaches over to rest a hand on the others arm again.]

It's your choice, whatever you decide to do..but I still don't think you should keep yourself distant from others all the time. You never know when someone will come along and want to be apart of your life, Dead End.

[Hesitantly his hand touches Rung's, although he quickly pulls it back. That. That's as friendly as he's getting right now.]

You think getting a job as a bartender will change things?

...I have four friends, don't think life will let me have anything else. It'll probably take those away too, sooner or later.

[Thats alright. It's something at least. And Rung's not movin his hand either way.]

Don't think like that. I'm not going anywhere. And you should have more faith in those others you have and those to come.
