[It has been a lunar cycle since he found himself mysteriously resurrected for the second? third? time, and Megatron has spent most of it feeling odd. He refused to take residence in any of the Firstforged's temples, and had returned to his cave in the mountain where the base of his trans-dimensional space bridge had been built...]

[...and then he hadn't known what to do. Every time he'd attempted to return to his universe he'd been shunted onto a different path. Should he try it again, to go home and resume his war? Or was it time for something new?]

Fear.

[He starts, looking off towards the setting sun.]

Fear is something I have heard much about. Fear of the Badlands. Fear of loosing one's friends, lovers, allies, and close connections. Fear of each other. Fear of the Firstforged.

I propose it is time to do something about that fear.

[He wasn't giving up on his space-bridge. Not yet. For now, however, he was going to focus his power on a different task.]

I have decided to embark upon a quest. From what I have been told, the Firstforged have been far from forthcoming on information about this world, about their adversaries, and about our place within it.

I cannot tolerate being left ignorant. Anyone who has information about the badlands, the Firstforged, or their own, personal fears...

[He laughs.]

You are welcome to join me. I'll be leaving to fight my way as close to the badlands as I can get in three days.

I'll share what I learn with those who do the same.

[Megatron closes with coordinates to his cave--an invitation to come speak with him in private before he goes.]

[LOCKED TO DECEPTICONS]

I don't care what your previous universe is. If you bore the mark or went through the ceremony, I want to hear from you. Now. Tell me who your Firstforged is.

[LOCKED TO TARN]

I have a proposal.

[LOCKED TO VEN]

Are you free tomorrow?

The badlands? ...You're going to die. Again. [Not that it matters to him- you always come back.]

Edited 2013-06-20 01:37 (UTC)

Am I?

What do you know of the badlands?

[No, seriously. Tell him.]

If you go there. You die. It's as simple at that. [Shrug]

It's happened a million times now.

I won't die.

[He growls.]

Who has it happened to, then? And has anyone tried FLYING over it?

[Because you have wings, and you're about to get conscripted.]

You've died once already, remember?

[Yawn] I don't remember all their names. Just that its really common around here.

Possibly. If they did, they didn't return to tell us about it.

I've yet to stay dead, though.

[Granted, he doesn't wish to repeat the experience. Again.]

Then you'd best hope your trip goes smoother.

Since when is death permanent? [The poor clone has been pretty much raised in a bubble.]

My trip? I'm not going! Dieing may not be permanent but its still annoying. Especially if it involves a lot of pain before hand.

Since mechs have sparks and not shards. I've always wondered why you want one, too, if it will only hasten your end.

[Megatron has no problem popping bubbles.]

I can assure you there will be more pain if you do NOT come.

Besides, if you survive the trip, I have a present for you.

Who said I was giving up my shard? I want to have both. [Sheesh, its like you don't even know him anymore.]

...I don't work for you anymore. [He's fairly sure he told Megatron that already. And he hadn't been beaten for it so.]

What's the present? Because I've gotten a few really nice ones lately from my new boss~ [His little smirk challenges you to top them.]

Both? In your chest at the same time?

My, that's getting complicated.

You work for Tarn, don't you?

[He holds up a small box. He's not saying what is in it yet, but it rattles heavily, and sounds expensive.]

Yes. ...Well. Maybe not. I can put the shard elsewhere. My template's was in his helm, after all. [He taps the spot above his optics.]

I do. And he's been a very good boss. He hasn't hit me once or given me any orders that I'd dislike carrying out.

[Oh, but his gaze can't resist tracking that box.]

Shake that again.

You know, that might work.

You'd have to find a compatible spark, however. Not just any will do. Not for an Air Commander.

[Hopefully Dirge will figure that out someday.]

Tarn works for me.

[He shakes it again, and it makes a little click noise too. Something electronic is in there.]

Yes, yes. I know. [Dirge waves a hand] Might as well check as many as I can get my hands on. And I do have a delightful way of disposing of the ones that don't qualify, after all.

He...what? [The color drains from the clone's faceplates.]

I didn't... Ehr... [Great, well now he's screwed.]

[Sigh] What's in the box?

You eat them.

[He's so sure of it, there isn't any guessing involved.]

He works for me. [Megatron repeats it.] Don't tell me you didn't notice the giant Decepticon symbol he uses for a face?

[Another shake.] Come with me and find out.
