[Text][Action][Backdated to Pillar after-effects]
I require assistance.
Immediately.
[An image flashes of 4--the stitchpunk ragdoll. The scowl on his face is definitely not characteristic of the small being, however.]
I am at Prima's temple and need transportation.
Also, if the Pillar is not yet demolished...I'd say its time we began.
[A tiny fist pauses in its furious typing to clench before the video cuts out.]

Besides, they've both been accurate on occasions when you've been a little left of normal.
[Barricade plops his chin into the palm of one hand, finally grinning. Oh, Megs, you are in for it.]
How is it that when you end up in a different body, you're always tiny and adorable?
video;
[No. No, it is coming.]
Barricade.
There are parts of your past that I do not memorialize in nicknames.
[Surely you don't want to be called 'tentacles.']
Come close and I will show you how adorable I am.
video;
[Ironically he would welcome nicknames; the most interesting ones he's had lately have been Robot Cat and Benny.]
Admit it, you like me callin' you Sparrow. Besides, you're far too much of a professional to give folks embarrassing nicknames.
[He waggles his claws and trills a little. You're so cute when you're angry.]
Have your ride drop you by my quarters in Solus's temple and I might stop embarrassing you in public f'r a few nanokliks.
Who knows, I might even be helpful.
video;
[Megatron likes 'Cade alright, but he likes the weight of a full name, and the importance of it.]
Sparrow makes me nostalgic.
[It is an admission, but Barricade is someone he can trust with such. Barricade is also one of a VERY SMALL group of people that he'd accept an invitation from.]
So long as you do not intend to look at my interior, then I will be coming. I...do not like this body, but it has its uses.
video;
[Considering everyone was dead and all. Barricade can appreciate Megatron's preference for full names, really... he just happens to find more use in putting people off-guard with pet names.]
Nostalgia ain't always a bad thing, depending.
[And... well. He still looked back on that whole thing - beating and all - with a certain strange fondness. Something he's wary to admit where others can hear.]
You know precisely the circumstances under which I engage in such barbarism and this isn't one of those occassions. [coughcough back to normal facade coughcough
neverminding he doesn't actually find it barbaric] And I c'n see where it would, as small as it is. Though it c'n also be a disadvantage on occasion.video;
[And by party, he of course means brawl.]
No. No it is not. Those days still fuel my desire to get home.
However...
[Times have changed. There is no sure way home right now.]
I prefer my own body. Vastly. It is my body, and I know how to use it.
However, I will have Drag Strip drop me off. I could, frankly, use the help.
video;
[By which he means weapons, lots and lots of weapons.]
It's always that 'however' that gets in the way, ain't it? But who knows. This could be the way back if you look hard enough.
[Barricade has even less to go back to than he used to. And going elsewhere... he's been considering things a little too hard, maybe.]
Heh. Sound like me every time I get turned into a human or a cat. Sometimes you just want to transform into a car - or a flying tank.
I'll be here, and I may have something to alleviate at least one or two of your problems at least. And conversation if nothing else.
video;
[Once he returns to it.]
...
Yes.
If we intend to wait millions of years for events to come full circle.
I can't deny there is appeal in that.
[In being around for events and in KNOWING what would come? In being able to change it? Influence it? Its almost tempting.]
[Almost.]
I hardly know what I would do without you, Barricade.
[Difficult to say if sarcastic or sincere. Knowing Megatron, it is both.]
video;
[Much as that sort of thing has its appeal... he'd rather not be responsible for potentially wrecking yet another Cybertron. The one was enough.]
There'll be another way off, I'm sure. We can't all just get stuck somewhere without a way out.
[For the ones that want to go home, anyway.]
You'd charm the metaphorical pants off some other cranky medic, Sparrow~
[This is going to get awkward really quick, if he doesn't make light of it. Which is what he's gotta do.]
video; -> Lets move to action
[Pushing things through it might yield results.]
Yes, but the rest of them are Autobots.
I shall be there shortly.
action it is!
[And then you have to find something or someone to shove through that will give accurate test results.]
Nonsense. Knock Out is most certainly not an Autobot, and he's almost as fun as me.
I'll be waiting.
[Which he is, leaning against the wall just outside his door. He is master of the Totally Casual Awkward Moment, clearly.
Or he's waiting to find some new way to embarrass Megatron. Who knows?]
ACTION
[He'll deal with that second part later.]
Knockout is not you.
He has a nicer finish.
[Oh, yes, he is totally chiding you while 4 inches tall. He's also here! And he'll make the tiniest of knocks.]
ACTION
[And considering that no one else around knows how to use it...]
I'm very nearly insulted by that. Mm, but I know it's true, and depressing.
[He used to the the nicest-looking one darn it. But that it a knock. He opens the door, scanning the area briefly - upper optics high and lower optics low - before crouching and offering Megatron his hand.]
And you are looking even more adorable than usual, Sparrow.
