Megatronus says that Frenzy is now my slave as punishment.

...

What do I do with a slave?

[Four flips on the video and shows that she's currently sitting on an unhappy Frenzy's shoulder. The little stitchpunk doesn't look like she knows what the heck she's supposed to do.]

He's loud and obnoxious.

I'm not sure what use he'll be to me.

[...this is more than enough to get White talking.]

I don't care what authority the Firstforged presume they have over the rest of us. No one simply declares people to be slaves.

[...and it's enough to get him to start calling the robots "people", now, too. Baby steps.]

Megatronus has lots of authority.

I will not defy the Firstforged.

I find it difficult mustering up loyalty to someone who'd brand the refugees with their mark and give them away as labor. Even as a punishment.

They keep us safe.

I trust them.

Safe from what?

[4_toteachus]

From whatever is beyond the Haven.

Monsters and evil things.

Not here, for now

[songofmypeople]

[Well isn't this interesting.
DJD's got their eye on this.]

I've found monsters and evil can show up in the most surprising of places.

You'd do well to learn a little skepticism.

Having too much scepticism leads to cynicism.

I don't believe the Firstforged have any ill-will towards us.

No one was talking to you.

Be quiet.

Well, for starters, he can carry you where ever you want.

BITING HIS LIP REALLY HARD

Too much trust leaves their power unchecked. Would you question them if they decide the lives of the refugees aren't worth some greater cause?

[A decision he's had to face many a time.]

[4_toteachus]

[Hey have you ever wondered what it feels like to be smirked at by a doll?

Well now you know.]

[4_toteachus]

But I have a hovercraft for that.

One that doesn't hate me.

[rednotbluethx]

[Frenzy... moves away. Looks around. Finds something sharp. Begins carving words into the floor.

'I'M GONNA MAKE U BLEED 1 DAY'

Can't speak, but he CAN write, right?]

[4_toteachus]

What would we be able to do if they did?

I like Liege Maximo and Alpha Trion, so I trust them.

[4_toteachus]

You mean:

"I'm going to make you bleed one day"

I do have nothing inside of me, so therefore I don't bleed.

Your threat is meaningless.

[dirge]

Make him bring you food!

...Wait, it's Frenzy? [Grin]

...Make him bring me food.

[4_toteachus]

I don't see why not.

What do you like to eat? Just plain energon?

[im_wavin]

Ooo, so he has to do whatever u say???

Tell him he has to paint himself pink and eat dirt and stuff like that!

[Ravage is all too eager to see mean!Frenzy do humiliating things.]

[treacherous_widow]

That's not the point. The point of a slave is to make them do anything and everything you want. Including the stuff you don't want to do.

[dirge]

Energon will be just fine~ [The better to wash you down with, Frenzy.]

[4_toteachus]

I suppose...

Have you ever had a slave before?
