[VIDEO TRANSMISSION: ALPHA TRION'S TEMPLE]

I know most of you here already hate me, those of you that know about my diet even more so.

[He pauses, hesitant for a moment before venting out a sigh.]

I eat power cores. Yes, I'm a cannibal, a vampire, a freak, crazy and whatever else the rest of you call me. Hate the word crazy... I get it, if I don't die from starvation I'll be horribly murdered... Or tortured then murdered - probably that one knowing my luck. I accept that. This is just like back home, not that I expected any different.

So go ahead and say whatever the scrap you want about me, just stop doing it to my face. Please... Not that I expect anyone to listen. Just fragging can't take it anymore. Had enough vorns of this...

...I don't really expect our police force or the Firstforged to do much if anything happens to me.

[Rung may like him, sure. But he's no one special.]

If the police force don't, they aren't much of a police force then are they?

I'm not exactly important, Rung. And I eat bots, doesn't make people want to help me.

You are important. Don't ever say you aren't.

[He says it a bit sharply before catching himself, vents cycling softly as he lifts his hands to cup Dead End's cheeks.]

There are individuals that will help. Maybe not everyone but there are some.

[Wings perk, not expecting Rung the change in Rung's tone.]

I- Sorry...

No it--don't apologize. I didn't mean to snap.... I just hate how ignorant others can be. How blind they can be.

It's... It's fine.

I know you aren't like that. I just don't think anyone would care... Excluding you, I mean.

You're underestimating the compassion that others can feel at times.

Compassion doesn't happen when I'm around.

[he doesn't mean to argue with everything Rung says, but after so many years it's just hard to remember how things were before the war and before the dark energon.]

So you say. But I think things would go differently than you expect

Things don't feel much different here.

[Vents cycle in an almost frustrated manner.]

Aside from you, my luck is the same.

[Optics softening, the therapist's engine gives a small little rev.]

If it makes you feel any better, my luck's been about the same since coming here as well outside of meeting you. But it's all about what you make of it. You can't let it all get to you.

...

It's always gotten to me.

[That's what the brooding is for.]

Why though?

No point in fighting it...

...Dead End...That's not...you have every right to be treated with respect. As much right as any other individual does.

The only time I ever got respect was when I was a bartender. Didn't have it at my first job, and haven't had it since the war... I gave up on it a long time ago.

You shouldn't. And why not be a bartender here?

...Why?

I'm a Decepticon and a vampire. Who would want me as a bartender.

Anyone that was smart and wanted an experienced individual to run things. We all have things about us that other's won't like or that someone finds dangerous. But that shouldn't stop anyone from gettin involved and doing what they enjoy.

Experience doesn't count for much when you can potentially eat the customers.

The question is would you though?

I don't think I'd eat anyone... I have more control than that.

[He thinks anyway.]

Then don't doubt yourself and go for it if you want to.

I enjoy bartending... It'd never happen though.
