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.]

Try and keep it that way.

[redshirtrobot]

I'll try.
No promises, though.

[noparachutes]

Noted.

[He'll just sit and have highgrade with you and hope it doesn't happen again for a while.]

[redshirtrobot]

Good. I wouldn't want to disappoint you.

[Maybe he will try to explain his worry in a slightly less screamy manner while they do.]

[noparachutes]

[He'd appreciate that.]

See that you don't.

[redshirtrobot]

[He figured as much; he at least owes Shockwave that much for his near-hysterics.]

... I won't.

[noparachutes]

Good.

[redshirtrobot]

I'll. Try to explain all of this. If I can.

[noparachutes]

That would be appreciated.

[redshirtrobot]

I figured it might be. And since I... freaked out at you and all... I owe you one.

[noparachutes]

We will speak about it later.

[redshirtrobot]

All right.
