[The room is completely splattered in paint. Where did Sideswipe get paint? Who knows. Probably the junk pile.]

[He's still got a can of it in his hands, and is currently tossing little splashes of it liberally around the room. It's an eye-searing yellow-green color, too. He just... seems to be tossing it around at random.]

[While swearing.]

[At... Mirage?]

[But Mirage is nowhere to be seen. There's just Sideswipe, and his paint-splattered room. The more he tosses paint around, the more agitated the Autobot seems to get.]

Would you --! Just!

Come out here! This isn't funny!

[At that last comment, though, there can be heard a very faint laugh...]

[Peering around the room from what he can see through the feed, Cliffjumper smothers a grin.]

So, why's he bein' invisible?

[It was a skill that was fairly new to the Mirage of his own reality, but it wasn't hard to figure out what was going on.]

[video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Because he lives to annoy me.

Apparently.

[video]

[cliffjumper]

[Trying not to grin and maybe kind of failing.]

Know the type. Well... if you've got enough paint ya could try coatin' the floor. Then he'll start pickin' it up and it'll be obvious where he's standin'... Until he moves to furniture, but that's gonna be obvious as well.

[video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

... I don't want him tracking this mess on my furniture.

[Sideswipe you just flung it all over the room anyway...]

[video]

[cliffjumper]

Er, okay. [Trying really hard not to look past Sideswipe at the paint all around the room.]

Though well. Looks like ya kinda... got a bit of it all over anyway?

[Video]

[shutupndrive]

Uh..Stud, are you okay?

[Video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Does it look like I'm okay?

[Video]

[shutupndrive]

I'm not sure how to answer that without possibly making you even more mad.

[Video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Then don't.

I'm not okay, I'm seething.

[Video]

[shutupndrive]

[The rookie flinches some, holding up his hands in a gesture of surrender.]

Alright, alright, sorry. I'll leave you alone then.

[dinnerdate]

...That's a nice colour.

[stabbywheelfeet]

No, it isn't.

[dinnerdate]

...Why are you using it then? If you don't like it.

[He thinks it's pretty.]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Because Mirage deserves to look hideous for a while.

[dinnerdate]

But... it's pretty.








Who's Mirage?

audio;

[namesnotprowl]

Nice. It's very Jackson Pollock. Though he usually used more colors...

audio;

[stabbywheelfeet]

...

You want to run that by me again? In normal speech?

audio;

[namesnotprowl]

American abstract painter? Did a lot of paint splatter art? No?

[DRAMATIC SIGH.]

Your wall art. And floor art.
... And ceiling art. You look like you're gettin' ready to sell the whole thing as an art installation to a museum, the way you've flung that paint around.

audio;

[stabbywheelfeet]

It's not art.

It's revenge.

audio;

[namesnotprowl]

Revenge. So you and the room have been having a tiff?

[Yeah, he heard the visible snickering. Now he's just being obtuse.]

[video]

[glacius_passio]

You might want to stop flinging that hideously-colored paint around, or clean up is really going to suck later after it dries.

[video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

I'm going to make Mirage clean it up. Once I find him.

[video]

[glacius_passio]

You'll never find him if you keep moving around and making all that noise. You're just giving him cover to stay hidden from you.

[video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

No, if I hit him with paint, then he can't cloak anymore.

[video]

[glacius_passio]

Doesn't sound like a very effective method to me, but if that's what you want to do, I can't stop you.

Do you at least have an extra can of that paint to dump on him once you catch him?
