[Text][Action][Backdated to Pillar after-effects]

[megaton]

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.]

I must admit, it had been some time since I had a good knock-down drag-out with other 'Cons.

[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.

Clearly we need to throw a party.

[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.

If you bring the people I'll bring the party favors.

[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.

It will be a celebration of my correct size.

[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.]

[namesnotprowl]

That sounds like an excellent plan.

[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

[megaton]

I would like to try accessing the Lambda. It has potential.

[Pushing things through it might yield results.]

Yes, but the rest of them are Autobots.

I shall be there shortly.

action it is!

[namesnotprowl]

It might. But first you have to get up there. Tricky proposition.

[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

[megaton]

You have a ship.

[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

[namesnotprowl]

A short-range scout ship. I've never sent one of those out of atmo before.

[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.
