video; locked from Prime!Starscream

[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.]

I'd appreciate it... and repay you. Somehow...

Well, yeah, but. What I mean is, I don't know what he'd do, if he found you or one of the other humans from Team Prime. I'd rather he didn't, you... aren't that bad.

At least he's not Airachnid. [Do Not Want] And I'll stay low.

Yeah. Thank Primus for small favors, right? [Scary scary spider lady augh.] Good.

[scary spider lady he is not at all saddened at the loss of] Right.

I'm not going to promise anything, but I'll do my best, okay?

I know. Even if you can't promise anything... I really appreciate it. I'll find some way to pay you back for it, if I can.

Well...

[aand suddenly lock]

Do you talk with Knock Out at all?

[Oh hello lock.]

I do. A lot, actually, he uh. He's doing some upgrades for me, because of... all this.

Why do you ask?

He's threatened to damage the farms we have in one of the quadrants. We can get by without it, but it'd still set us back a long while. Do you think maybe you could, you know, keep an eye on him...?

He did that? Seriously? Oh for Primus's sake... He's going to get himself scrapped at this rate. Y-yeah, I'll do my best.

I don't know that I could stop him, but if he... gets a bee up his bonnet?... about it, I can at least warn you and try to slow him down.

Warning would be perfect. Don't get yourself in trouble or anything, but if I know, I can tell someone like Bulkhead or Arcee...

[beat]

They have bees on Cybertron?

I'll keep a lookout on him as much as I can. Promise.

... I uh. Used to surf the internet when I was off-duty. Actually, what's a bonnet and why do you keep bees in them? They sound really awful.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[beat]

A bonnet's a kind of hat. And you kind of...don't want a bee in there. It's a metaphor, you know? For getting all...

[have a gesture and a face! OH GOD A BEE IN MY HAT. you know. all...that.]

Well it's the least I can do...

[He pauses and listens to the explanation and ooh that makes sense. Still, he has to cover the mouth hole in his mask and stifle a laugh.]

I don't think I've ever seen somebody make a face like that before... S-sorry I shouldn't be laughing, that does actually seem really awful.

[And yet funny. What even.]

[Raf grins. that was kind of the point.]

Bonnets are kind of out of date, but the saying's still around.

[A+ on you, Raf, trying to get the nerves out of him.]

Yeah. Your sayings tend to stay around, don't they? Kind of interesting like that.

More so when we forget what they mean, but still use them.

Yeah... there seem to be a lot of those like that. How do they stay around when all the meaning is lost, anyway?

...habit?

... Well, that would make sense.

Hey, I bet you guys have something like it. Bee says things all the time that-well. Said.

[oops made himself slightly sad]

Yeah... w-well, he might show up here, eventually. You never know.

[He keeps hoping for other Vehicons, after all.
