[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...]

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

...

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

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.

It's not art.

It's revenge.

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

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

Aren't you just hilarious today?

[The sarcasm is practically tangible.]

Mm, on occasion~ Sort of like your pal The Invisible Man.

[He can't deny the entertainment value of Sideswipe flinging paint all over his own room to try to find Mirage.]

Don't you nickname him.

Roller Derby, I nickname everyone. 'S kinda what I do.

[And that's not actually the one he uses for Mirage but who's he to correct Sideswipe?]

It sounds stupid. Like you don't even know his real name.

If he has complaints about my choice of nickname f'r him, he can lodge them with me himself.

Just not if it gives away his current position in your room~

Charming. You're just charming.

[The sarcasm here is tangible.]

Only on occasion. And you could cut that sarcasm with a knife.

[What's wrong with appreciating the way someone else trolls?]

So glad you noticed.

Well, considering you cut everything else like that, it's not difficult t'notice.

Oh, now we're picking on my weapon systems. How typical.

Now, now, mentioning that you have huge knives in your arms is hardly picking.

That wasn't mentioning. That was nitpicking. Or jealousy.

Which I'd expect from a lowly Decepticon grunt.

You oughta get your facts straight on mechs before you insult them.

Ironhide ran you into a pole and you dropped off the grid for years.

That automatically makes you "lowly".

I dropped off the grid because I didn't want to die. The desire to survive clearly escapes you as a concept.

But that's not what I meant.

Nope. I'm pretty clear on it. Since, you know, I'm still functional and all.

Don't care. It's still true, Grunt.

Not for lack of trying on your part. You would have thrown yourself in Devastator's maw if one of your pals hadn't I'm sure.

That's very pot callin' the kettle black of you.

Those two weren't friends of mine. Just Autobots. Besides... easier ways to take that thing down than... whatever it was they did.

[He hadn't listened very closely -- that required spending time around the idiots, after all.]

Right. Sure. Which just proves you don't understand the meaning of the word "grunt".

Well. You aren't the Autobot's Lieutenant, their comms officer, weapons specialist, scout, medic, engineer, or a Wrecker.

Sure it's me that doesn't know the meaning of 'grunt'?
