[Video]

[It's the dead of night, Mirage. Why aren't you asleep?

Well, to be honest, sleep hasn't come easy for the bot in quite some time. And with Sideswipe now rooming with him, he's found himself lying and staring up at the ceiling more often than not. It...wasn't a happy time, to say the least.

He's..had a couple things on his mind, too.

Leaving a note for the silver bot, he exits the Vectorian temple to get some air...and maybe some space. He didn't want Sideswipe hearing part of what he was about to broadcast.]

...Does anyone have ideas on how to fall asleep? I cannot seem to rest my optics tonight.

[Or other nights, but he'd rather not worry anyone. Unfortunately, Mirage's fatigue is slightly showing.]

[Locked to Vector Prime]

...It is not a decent hour, but I need your advice. I have no one to turn to.

[Mirage's headlights flash in return, finishing the circle before pulling in. As if driving towards Barricade. It's slow, and gentle.]

Ahaha~

[The chirp of his siren is enough to say he's liking this.]

Now all we need is music, huh?

[Barricade's voice has a little teasing edge in it, but he is enjoying this as much as his siren suggested.

~~It's probably the sleep deprivation making them giddy.~~]

[~~No kidding, it would never end this well.~~

But he cant help but chuckle at Barricade's comment.]

I do not suppose your sirens count.

[Barricade laughs at that. Oh, Mirage.]

I never thought anyone would enjoy the sound of them enough for that~

[Considering they're technically for intimidation and such.]

Familiarity. It can do that to a bot.

[Besides, sirens meant you were going fast. And fast was...freedom.]

You're not bad, polizia.

You had too many cops on your tail, Stallion.

[Not that he could blame him. The speed was amazing. Enough for him to turn his sirens on just for the opportunity of speeding, sometimes.]

Not bad f'r a first try, maybe.

Perhaps. None of them have ever caught me, though~

[He's glad you agree with his sentiments, Barricade. Makes it easier to get off the hook with you.]

Better than I expected from an ex-Con. No offense, but your former comrades do not seem the graceful type.

Somehow, that doesn't surprise me.

[Mirage seemed like the sort to escape quite often.]

Mm, you'd be surprised. Bonecrusher was poetry in motion on two wheels, and get Starscream into the air and he could perform with the best of them. Even that little cretin Sideways had some moves in him.

Perhaps I would be more convinced if their work wasn't during tearing Autobots and humans to shreds.

[He says this rather placidly. He's obviously overtired, but enjoying the 'dance' at least...]

Sideways tried a little too hard if you ask me.

Come then. Even I can see the artistry in the movements of my enemies.

[He says it good-naturedly, at least.]

Though I can agree on Sideways. Tried too hard t'perform. And you sound like you're wearing yourself out finally.

If they are deserving of it.

[Now it's just playful teasing.]

...Mm...

[The Ferrari slows to a stop, speech lulled.]

I do not tire so easily.

And you haven't found a one that does?

[Teasing he can do~]

Perhaps not, but you certainly sound more tired t'my audio receptors.

[The Ferrari doesn't move, just letting his engine hum idly.]

Maybe one...after some consideration.

[But he'll fight that.]

I do not.

[The Saleen slowly rolls up to his side, settling on his wheels.]

If you say so, but if I have to carry you back to your temple...

[His tone suggesting less that Mirage won't live it down and more that Barricade would actually do it.]

[His headlights flicker on, as if 'jolting himself awake'. ]

I..I do not need to be carried!

[The sad part is, he totally believes that Barricade would do it too.]

[Barricade flashes his lights again in stuttered amusement.]

You better not, because I will. And I'll take video of it, too.

[And even if it stripped his gears... well, it wouldn't be the first time he did that carrying someone.]

[And those headlights flicker in return.]

I can...drive myself back.

[And as if to prove it, he rolls forward.]

[Ahh, very good.]

Excellent. But, as the only medic currently present, I oughta escort you. Just t'make sure you make it.

[Barricade will totally chaperone.]

[Barricade he is adult B(]

Medic used loosely.

[It doesn't sound condescending, more like an amused comment as he continues to roll.]

Is good to see you doing polizia work.

[And that's the only reason that he's not going to tuck Mirage into bed ::|]

I'll have you know I'm quite good at it.

[He's hardly insulted by it, rolling along with Mirage.]

Ahh, I'm hardly a cop. I just look good in a uniform.

You do know impersonating a cop is against law.

[He nudges that car next to him slightly, rolling on ahead.]

But there's no laws against impersonating their cars.

[He chuckles, nudging him in return.]

I'm sure there is something about that.

[He nudges back, chuckling a little.]

If you actually managed to find that, I might be convinced to change color schemes.

[Challenge issued!]

Change colour schemes?

[His tone rises slightly.]

To anything I suggest.
