[Video] The irony here is lost on him.

[my_own_trope]

[Starscream's been quiet lately, because guess what? Prison is ZERO FUN. Adding insult to injury, neither is torture... and what's worse than torture is being left alone and ignored. (Realising you're probably a malfunctioning clone, struggling with narcolepsy, and understanding that you're also being poisoned does put a damper on things too.)

He knows he's fallen out of the loop and that a lot of things are going wrong right now, but here's another attempt at pretending things are just fine until they really are.]

[The video pops on to reveal this asshat, and he looks more haggard then normal but he also looks somewhat smug. ]

Which one of you here is Chromedome?

[A set of condolence cards fan out from between his claws. "Our regrets on the loss of your loved one" can be read on the first.]

He or she has apparently lost someone dear to them. What a shame. It would seem however, that it's time for you to stop moping and to learn to move on.

[He holds up a book with his other hand, the title of which reads: How to Take a Breakup Like a Champ ]

The lambda certainly thinks so at any rate. Don't worry, I took the liberty of skimming the recommendations and I have to say it's all a load of scrap. That said, who did you lose? I'm all ears. [Because oh god someone gossip with him PLEASE or at the very least talk with him, he's SO LONELY.]

 

---- Private to Knock Out Since Shockwave isn't returning his calls ----

[All that smug confidence evaporates from his voice and is replaced by panic.]

Knock Out? Knock Out I know you're out there! Respond immediately!

It's getting him to shut up that's the trick. A skill I've yet to master. What's your secret?

[needlefingers]

I respect him and let him finish what he's saying. He stops eventually.

[It's not that hard.]

I'm on the way to the prison by the way, so expect me sooon.

Your patience is infinite, clearly.

[my_own_trope]

While you're on your way, tell what else I've got coming in that little bundle of gifts for me.

[He's totally going to use this as an excuse to try and escape. Again.]

[needlefingers]

[Chromedome transforms and drives towards the HQ. He'll be there before long Starscream don't worry.]

Just the sharpening kit. It's a pretty nice kit actually.

I'd probably keep it myself if Autobot decency didn't say that I should give it back.

[Likely excuse Chromedome.]

[my_own_trope]

Given that I'm neither an Autobot nor bound by such feelings, tell me why I should return your little trinkets. Especially when it looks like you've got no use for yours.

[needlefingers]

[Because he's going to take it, one way or another.]

It's only right. Optimus does try to encourage us to do the right thing, even if it's over something as small as this.

Also I'm almost there.

[Story of his life]

I think you'll find it no surprise that the Prime and I hardly see eye to eye.

You're a speedy one.

[needlefingers]

You seem pretty desperate for a conversation. Let me guess, haven't had the chance to talk while stuck in prison?

[my_own_trope]

You've met Blurr; only desperate for a coherent conversation.
