[ Arcee doesn't really want to stay hidden forever, as much as Prowl would prefer she did. She's been off the radar so long it was sort of second nature; it was what she knew and was familiar to her. It was a free world for her though. Prowl isn't her keeper.

The video is on and Arcee is out perched on one of the balconies on Leige's mountain, frost clinging to the thick cloth cloak she'd donned since her arrival. There's some tears, neat little slices in the looser parts of the fabric, the holster of her swords decorated in a dozen sharp blades-- remnants of her experience in the Badlands.

She pushes down her hood, pulling off her mask, and shakes her head as if clearing cobwebs out of her thoughts. Her helm has a few bits of scratched paint, a little bit of wear here and there. ]

I want to hire myself out to the police force.

[ Very peculiar choice of wording. ]

I'm experienced with handling the punishment of individuals who won't stay dead. Looks like you may be in need of that.

[ Spoken like someone who genuinely believes that this is a good experience. Her expression is almost uncharacteristically soft and sincere. To be fair, she really cares about the well being of Cybertron. ]

The Haven must be safe within the borders; what's outside is dangerous enough.

I figure you might be interested in hearing about my little trip. Megatron and I got to have some quality bonding time.

No.

[fugitrix]

I-- Why?!

[thehardway]

You are not mentally stable. You killed several on your warpath for vengeance. You are a criminal.

No means no.

[fugitrix]

I'm not a psychopath, Ultra Magnus! I'm a free mech! I want to-- I want to help!

[thehardway]

There are several other methods in which you can be helpful. The police force is not a place for you.

[fugitrix]

It could be. You'd just need to give me a chance.

[thehardway]

If you prove to be a potential member of the police force, then I will witness it here. However, considering I'm the one that originally arrested you, you have a lot to impress.

[fugitrix]

I've had a lot of time to think since then. I've changed.

[thehardway]

While I don't doubt you've... changed in some way. [Yes he does.] That doesn't mean I would carelessly accept you into the police force without another thought. I need to bear witness to this, Arcee, not just hear about it.

[fugitrix]

I'm not sure what you expect from me. If you think I'm just crazy, why not just arrest me?

[thehardway]

First, you were released by your warden. Second, as far as I know, you haven't broken a law here.

I expect you to abide by the rules and not simply take matters into your own hands, Arcee. Try to refrain from killing pointlessly, for starters.

[fugitrix]

Am I just supposed to sit around then?

[audio] zer0 thinks you may not be too bright, magnus.

[zer0thassassin]

What, you don't have bounty boards?

[audio] and magnus doesn't care, zer0.

[thehardway]

No.

[audio] i would be surprised if he did, considering zer0's last network post especially...

[zer0thassassin]

Stupid.
