video; locked from Prime!Starscream

[redshirtrobot]

[When the video comes on, Fracas is shifting on his feet, only pausing to rub the back of his neck and let out a reedy laugh. He coughs when he finally gets control of himself, then claps his hands together and mutters to himself before speaking up.]

S-so, uhm. I... I guess everyone's noticed the new Starscream. Well, he's the Starscream from my world. More the point, I.

I need help.

He can't know there's a Vehicon here. That I'm here. I will end up dead again and I-I don't... I don't want to die again. There. There has to be some way to keep me completely off his radar, right?

... ^Right?!

[Fracas's voice cracks for a moment without him even realizing it.]

S-something. Anything. I just. I can't. I r-really can't.

Please?

[He could not possibly look any more desperate and pathetic, even if he had a lip wibble.]

You could come stay at my office if you'd like, just until another alternative is found.

... You'd do that for me? But...

['But we've hardly even met.']

Are... are you sure?

[Video | Private]

[rungout]

Of course I am. You need help and I'm willing to give it to you.

[Because that's just what he does.

The therapist smiles in an almost reassuring manner.]

My office is by the lake in Alpha Trion's quadrant.

You're... really nice. I-I hope you know that.

[He could really get used to people like you.]

I guess. I guess I could do that. If there's not a lot of me I can at least change places.

[rungout]

I'm just doing what all who want to help should do.

[Good because you won't get rid of him at this rate, Fracas.]

I'll be at the office waiting for you. Just let yourself in alright?

[Video | Private]

[redshirtrobot]

Well, it's nice anyway.

[He can totally handle that. At least he hopes so; attention still weirds him out a bit.]

I will. Th-thank you. I don't know how to repay this...

Re: [Video | Private]

[rungout]

You don't have to repay me. I mean it.

I just want to help if I can.

[Video | Private]

[redshirtrobot]

I. Well, all right.

But if. If there's ever anything I could do for you...

[Video | Private]

[rungout]

I'll keep it in mind, I promise.

[redshirtrobot]

Good. I'll. Be by. Probably soon.
