[VIDEO]

[The video flickers to life showing the faceplates of a grinning black and white mech. Albeit, a wary one.]

Alright, so apparently I’m not in Kansas anymore!

[He laughs at his own joke, clearly he’s not as worried as he should be.]

Is there any bot around that can lend a mech a hand? I ain’t digging this new scene without some backup.

….although this place is pretty cool. Especially with-

[He cuts himself off, shaking his helm to keep on track. He can’t lose his focus until he finds his crew. If they’re even there.]

Yo, Optimus? Bulkhead? Ratchet? Any of you bots out there? Frag, I’d even settle for the twins and Sentinel.

[And now he feels like reminiscing about his old team. Man, did they have some good times!]

Can anyone answer? Any mech, femme, or life out there-

[His visor brightens as he tilts his helm to the left, grinning in amusement.]

Well, besides the bots I woke up to, that is.

This place is on a whole other level! A new scene and everything! Ya feel me?

[He continues to grin, shifting his weight from ped to ped.]

Ah well, I’ve said all I needed to. If anyone is digging this frequency, give a mech a call! Jazz, Third in Command of the Elite Guard, out!

[He shuts the video off, feeling at ease with his introduction. He hoped someone would get back to him soon, but for now he had a new planet to explore! Solid.]

[Wow, out of all the bots to run into!]

Hey, Sent! Didn't expect to see you here either, my main mech!

[It's totally cool to see his best bot, but if Sentinel brings out the Magnus hammer... NOPE.]

So, how long have you been on this funky planet?

[Funky? No no, he means totally awesome! Look at that shiny... dangerous thing in the sky.]

[Still with the nicknames. Jazz hasn't changed at all.]

It's Sentinel.

[Jazz has nothing to worry about; this version of Sentinel isn't the Magnus yet, so no Magnus hammer ;_;]

Uh, a few weeks. It's pretty boring. [As in, he's been in his room a lot.]

...How were things when you left?

[HE ONLY MAKES NICKNAMES BECAUSE HE CARES, HAHA- he will never stop.]

Wow, a few weeks? Feels like I last saw you on Cybertron only a few Earth hours ago. [Still running on Earth time from hangin' with Team Prime, doubt Sentinel's going to like that.]

Ah, well... [His smile dims a bit.] Those groovy Acolytes told me about the, uh, timeline mess? So we were probably pulled from different levels, ya dig?

[He's a little iffy on telling Sentinel about how he goes a little nuts, clearly this exasperated Prime hasn't reached that point. Yet.]

I was on Earth when I came throu- oh. Yeah, probably.

[He has no idea the can of words he's about to open.] What about the Decepticons? Ultra Magnus?

[Oh shit, you are really asking for it, man.]

Well... [He can't help but rub the back of his neck, grimacing the slightest bit.]

The last I've seen of Magnus, he was in bad shape. Alive, but still fragged up. [He doesn't want to mess up the timeline by giving too much info... how does this even work?!]

Some 'con named Shockwave jacked him up. And speaking of the 'cons... well, good news! [He tries for a grin, albeit an awkward as fuck one.] Megatron and his main posse got their afts kicked! The ones who lived were taken into custody.

[Hopefully, he'll be able to leave out some major, uncomfortable, details. He doesn't want to upset Sentinel by mentioning Optimus and his team.]

That's a... shame. [More like FUCK YES I COULD TOTALLY GET MY INTERIM ON]

[His antennae perk up and his opics widen slightly. He missed an entire goddamn war?!] Frag, Jazz, who brought them in? That's great news!

Yeah, it was a complete mess. Luckily, he seems to be pullin' through, the tough old bot.

[YOU LITTLE SHIT.]

Um... well, it's actually a funny story! Ya see...

[And now he's losing his cool, dammit Sentinel whyyyy.]

...Optimus Prime's team did. [He internally braces himself for the inevitable.]

WHAT.

[He holds his hands up in defense, trying to be reassuring. Key word here is trying.]

Come on Sent! It shouldn't matter who did what, just that the 'cons got a serious aft whooping. This is a serious turn for the better, don't ya think?

[No, he probably doesn't. Maybe Jazz should have lied, or at best not mentioned the Earth bots... oops.]

Yeah. Whatever. [Grumblegrumblegrumble]

[He's not too keen to talk to you anymore, Jazz.]

So, who was Magnus during this wonderful victory? Was he commanding from his hospital berth, or something? [Snort.]

Edited 2013-07-21 01:57 (UTC)

NO ONE!

[Nope, he's already upset him. He will not- please don't make him say it. He's just glad this Sentinel hasn't blown a mental gasket yet.]

[He's probably not going to have a choice. Ughghgh.]

[WOAH that was unexpected!! Jazz has pretty much never had an outburst like that.]

[He raises an optic ridge and frowns. Damnit, Jazz, why you gotta make this so hard.]

...It was Optimus, wasn't it?

[Welp, there goes his cool composure. GDI ninja training.]

...no. You and I both know he's too low in the ranks to be a Magnus. [Well, he used to be. Now? That's a whole other story.]

[That's debatable. Jazz can make a lotta stuff hard, if you catch my drift- KEEPING STUFF ON THE DOWNLOW, I MEAN. HOLY-]

Pssh, low rank or not the council sure loved him enough to do something like that. Especially if I wasn't there.

You, as well as the council, were a little... busy. Trying to keep bots on their peds and whatnot, ya dig? [Media, parades, anything to keep them from giving up hope. Even if it was all for show.]

Although, after spending time with Optimus' crew, they did show some potential. [He would admit he was a little surprised, but in a good way!]

[He has a feeling he might have said something wrong...]

Edited 2013-07-21 03:06 (UTC)

No slag I was busy, I'm stuck here!

You were sent to join them? What a waste of talent.

[Jokes on Sentinel, Jazz went by choice.]

[Whoop, better not tell Sent that. His processor might crash!]

Uh, yeah... stuck here. [Not going to mention the fact that Sentinel Magnus threw said parade in a show of power, no matter how 'fabulous' it was.]

So I have to ask... what would you do if you became Magnus? [Ayeee might as well hope for the best. Like changing his unchangeable friends mind. Yay.]

Try to increase morale and change some budgets around, what else? Ultra Magnus kinda ignored the whole rising Decepticon threat thing.

Oh, and I'd make that public, too. No point hiding it from them anymore!

[Sentinel is the most fabulous Magnus and don't you forget it!!]

[To say he's surprised... is an understatement.]

Huh... That's actually pretty groovy, mech!

[He was not expecting that. Not at all. Although, maybe that's exactly what the Sentinel from his time was trying to do, only something went wrong in his processor.]

[Annnnd now he's frowning. That is not good for his chill reputation.]

Edited 2013-07-21 03:36 (UTC)

Of course it is. I know what the Autobots need, not what to hide from them.

[He finds Jazz's ~~lack of faith disturbing~~ reaction pretty interesting. Jazz never frowns. Like, ever. Not even when the Jettwins blew a hole in his room's wall.]

...Why?

[Clearing his vocalizer, he tries to regain his cool composure.]

It's nothing, mech. Nothing to stress out over!

[He curses internally; hiding Sentinel from, well, himself was becoming harder than a fragging undercover Decepticon intel. op.]

[Well slag, he might as well tell him. Maybe this was an alternate universe and their residence here was permanent? And maybe there wouldn't be any doomed timelines? Yep, he watched too many holovids with Sari.]

For a ninja, you are not very good at covering up your emotions.

[He leans into the video screen.]

What. Happened.

[Sure, the timeline stuff is confusing. He didn't actually consider that Jazz could be from a totally different version of his own universe. You're not talking to a scientist here, ok.]

[He can't help but feel slightly offended. Although, the Earth Autobots might have change his outlook some.

That or he was losing touch? ...Nah!]

Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you. [He points at Sentinel through the feed, pursing his lips in what should have been a stern 'listen to me' but just ended up looking silly.]

So, you become Magnus after UM's downfall. And, uh... I suppose you tried to do your own thing and help Cybertron, but you kinda lost your processor a bit. [A bit? More like a whole lot; Sentinel went BATSHIT INSANE.]

[His expression softens into one of concern, almost worry. Ultra Magnus had always told him that he wouldn't be able to deal with the power- his personality just wasn't compatible with the position. He catches himself, however, and instantly forces his expression back into a scowl.]

Lost my processor? It was probably just the stress, I'm sure I did fine. I mean, Megatron got brought in under my Magnus reign!

[It's pretty clear he doesn't entirely believe Jazz.]

[Oh boy, he had a feeling Sentinel might not be ready to hear this. (Insert vast amounts of concern here!)]

At first you did pretty well; heck, you got every bot on Cybertron to follow your lead.

[He smiles at the memory of the parade, and how it brought several Autobots out of hiding... It was still corny as frag, though.]

The power was probably too much for you to handle at once. You had a lot shoved onto your shoulders, so much that I thought you were gonna give right at the start!

[If Sentinel was here, Jazz would have probably grabbed his shoulder- heck, even hugged him! Seeing Sentinel lose his cool irked him. He made an excellent SIC but a Magnus? No, that is too much pressure for the Prime.]
