[Video] - transmission from Megatronus' temple | So who DO we call?

[warp]

Okay, what the frag! No one said anything about there being ghosts!

[He'd intended to make fun of Wing and Drift because ghosts? Really? How often did that happen?]

... So when do the explosions start?

[Skywarp looks around himself suspiciously, even if he's already removed himself from where the barely-visible... thing had wandered through the door into where he was.]

Comments

[eternallove]

Mr. did you really see a ghost? Was it nice? Did you talk to it?

[warp]

... Why would I talk to it?

[Skywarp stares and then snorts, optics flaring a little. Why are there humans - or aliens and what looks like humans, around here?] It's dead! I ain't interested in what it has to say even if it can.

[eternallove]

But what if had something important to tell you, or was trying to warn you? It may be trying to save your life!

[warp]

Then it can go an' talk to someone else. I'm not gonna hang around for any potential explosions. I've been almost caught in enough of 'em as it is!

[Skywarp's annoyed sneer slowly morphs into something more thoughtful.]

So why aren't ya shrieking over the fact of ghosts, huh? Thought humans found slag like that scary.

[Especially little girls, if one was to believe pop culture.]

[eternallove]

That's mean. Maybe it doesn't want to blow up or anything. Maybe it's a treasure hunter trying to give you clues to a hidden gem of great value!

[Maybe if she actually was such. Sorry Skywarp you need a new list of organic things to consult now.]

But I'm not a human at all Mister.

[video]

[sword_redemption]

....explosions?

[Wait. Wait. Barricade hadn't mentioned explosions. This is bad. Very very bad.]

[video]

[warp]

Yeah, explosions.

[Skywarp shrugs, saying it as if it's the most obvious thing ever.]

'S what happened when Grimlock started messing things up back in the war after Motormaster killed him.

[Of course, the relevant factor here could be "Grimlock" and not "ghosts", but...]

[video]

[sword_redemption]

So.

Uh. If we put the datapad back, that wouldn't happen?

[Pleasepleaseplease.]

[video]

[warp]

Dunno. I think that's how it might work on Earth, anyway. Don't know much about ghosts. Except for the explosions.

[Eyeing Drift, Skywarp grins.]

If it does work that way and you don't put it back, y'might end up haunted.

[Explosive hauntings, wouldn't that be something? ... As long as he doesn't end up on the other end of them, that is.]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Ghosts? Where?

[Video]

[warp]

In my room! [He doesn't sound upset so much as offended, as any scare he had has been firmly pushed aside by now... and he wouldn't show it to a human, anyway.]

Though, if you're supposed to believe the pointy Autobot yahoos from earlier, in that library whereever it was as well.

[Shrug.]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[He frowns a bit.]

...but why would they be in your room?

[Video]

[warp]

'Cause I'm pretty?

[With Skywarp's smirk, it's hard to tell if he's serious or not.]

Besides that though, maybe the library ghost wasn't the only one! Who knows how many could be 'round here?

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

Ghosts, Warp? Really?

[Video]

[warp]

Oh, shut down. It ain't like I'm the first, those Autobot yahoos saw one before I did!

[Huff. He is hurt, hurt, that you wouldn't believe him, TC!]

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

[a grin]

And we all know how reliable Autobots can be.

[Now he's just being ornery. You left yourself wide open for that one, Warp.]

[Video]

[warp]

What, they may be soft-sparked, protoform-loving guardians of all that's right an' good and all that slag, but most of 'em seem like they wouldn't joke about that.

[Whereas he would, if he'd thought of it first.]

... Especially not the pointy ones that actually said somethin'.

[They'd looked particularly dorky.]

And anyway I've totally seen a ghost... or, uh, at least seen the effects, 'cause Grimlock died an' then he started to cause explosions!

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

Ghosts? [laugh] Maybe yer losin' yer mind, dumbass! Not dat you had muchuva mind to begin with.

[video]

[warp]

Oh yeah? Do you know any cybertronian with the ability to go through solid fraggin' walls while looking all see through and then disappearing, runt?

[Laugh it up, Frenzy. Maybe he should give you a "ghost explosion". Just to make a point.]

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

That's dif'rent! Ghosts don't exist, but morons do!

[YEAH WELL YOUR MOM]

[video]

[warp]

How the slag is that different! If you can't give me someone with that ability, what else is it supposed to be, huh? Boltbrain.

[Oh, YOU DID NOT--- well, okay, he never had much love for Sentinel Prime, the over-diplomatic softspark.]

[video]

[adamndoctor]

[brow arch] Ghosts, huh?

Normally I'd laugh at the idea, but seein' where we're at... Wouldn't be surprised to find some real green-blooded hobgoblins runnin' around here, too...

[video]

[warp]

'S what you call see-through things that can walk through walls and disappear soon after, right? 'Cause I can't remember any cybertronian bein' able to do that, and I if someone can, doubt they're here.

[He shrugs, dismissive.]

And hey, those're probably an alien species somewhere!

[video]

[adamndoctor]

Thoooose would be ghosts, yes. And, well, I wouldn't color me surprise if there were robots like that here, either. Seems you lot got plenty of tricks up your metallic sleeves.

[smirk] Well, those I may be more prepared to handle.

[video]

[warp]

Oh, we sure do, but as far as I know, no one with that ability.

[Then he smirks.]

Though I suppose I could imitate somethin' similar, thanks to my warping.

Even if they spit or bleed acid?

[Idle curiosity.]
