[ 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.

[ Prowl ]

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

Aw, c'mon. I thought you were cooler than that! Why'dja wanna work for the police force? They can't do nuttin'. Don't go an' hang out wit' those losers.

I can work for whoever I please whenever I please as long as it's justified by my goals.

[ She presses her fingers together. ]

Pffff! Sounds mighty shady of ya, missy.

Here's hopin' it means ya end up killin' an Autobot or two.

I don't personally care how it sounds.

For what purpose? I haven't heard or seen any Autobot prisoners in need of punishment.

Eesh, it was a compliment.

And... [He looks totally dumbfounded. Nothing new.]

'Cause

they're

Autobots?

[Geez, what other reason do you need, lady]

Yeah? Well, you're really persistent at least.

[ She has about zero interest in you, Frenzy. But she had to give you a hand for still willingly speaking to her. ]

I'm not too concerned about faction. [ Decepticons just usually give Cybertronians a bad name. But the fact she'd kill an Autobot for the greater good counts as not being concerned, right? ]

Hey! I'm jus' sayin', yer better off wit' the winners.

[He'd probably be afraid of you, but you're not the Arcee he (barely) knows... Good thing or bad, who knows.]

[ Probably a mix of both. ]

What exactly classifies Decepticons as winners?

'Cause we're strong an' powerful an' we ain't no sissies like Autobots!

[Geez, Arcee, what sort of question is that.]
