[Audio] [Locked to Blurr & Sideswipe]

[perfavore]

 [Locked to Blurr]

Libellula.  I was wondering if we could meet up somewhere private. I have many questions I need to ask you about recent events.

[Locked to Sideswipe]

Sideswipe. It appears we are the only two from our world left.

[It's a strange feeling, actually...]

Comments

audio; [PRIVATE]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Is that a bad thing?

[Wow he couldn't sound less concerned about that.]

audio; [PRIVATE]

[perfavore]

...In some aspects.

[Thanks honey you're the best.]

Just wanted to let you know Barricade's gone.

[Even if he hadn't left yet, it's best to already consider him gone. Easier to make that break.]

audio; [PRIVATE]

[stabbywheelfeet]

... What's that supposed to mean?

So? Good riddance to a Decepticon pest.

audio; [PRIVATE]

[perfavore]

Is better if we speak personally, Sideswipe.


Where are you?

audio; [PRIVATE]

[stabbywheelfeet]

I'm in the room, calm your headlights.

[Action]

[perfavore]

[And...he'll just walk from the entrance to the temple to the room, peeking in.]

Argento?

[Action]

[stabbywheelfeet]

[He's exactly where he said he'd be. But sprawled out on the bed, applying oil to his knee joints.]

Yep. What's got you all bothered?

[You mean aside from the fact you have one leg wrapped around your head?]

[Action]

[perfavore]

[There's a five second stare. Really, with how Mirage feels about this, how could he NOT stare at the actual cat Sideswipe lying on his/their bed.]

...


Ah. It's about...Barricade.

[Action]

[stabbywheelfeet]

What about him?

[He doesn't even look up.]

I don't see why you're so worried about that waste of space, anyway.

[Action]

[perfavore]

He warned me about something.

[Those wings flick as he takes a seat at the foot of the bed, holding the datastick in between his thin fingers.]

And...gave me this.

[Action]

[stabbywheelfeet]

He was probably lying.

[It's his default answer to anything relating to Decepticons. He glances over at what Mirage is holding, but shrugs.]

What's that? A virus card?

[Action]

[perfavore]

Not this time, Sideswipe. He was rather...personal about it.

[And that's as far as he'll go on that!]

It's...how things end back home. In detail.

[Action]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Sure he was. So you'd trust him.

[So much skepticism here.]

... More like, what he wants you to think happened back home.

Locked forever

[raceme]

Of course. Just tell me when and where and I will be there.

[perfavore]

Meet me by Vector's temple. You are the speedier of the two, so I assume you'll be here in a few moments.

>action

[raceme]

That I can do, red. I'll wait for you.

[Action~

Mirage was right and it only took him a few seconds to get there. It helps that he was in his room too.]

>action

[perfavore]

Hmm.

[There's a slight twinkle in his eye at the nickname. He gave them out so much that it still surprises him when he gets them in return.

No sooner had he turned around then had Blurr appeared in front of him.]

Ah, there you are, dragonfly.


Would you take a walk with me? Ahah~ That is, if I can keep up.

>action

[raceme]

[Blurr thinks it's a fitting nickname and he wants to show Mirage some appreciation.

He nods and starts to walk alongside the bigger mech.]

I know how not to rush things _{when I have} to, don't worry. Is there something troubling you?

>action

[perfavore]

[And he keeps pace with him, his head tilted up slightly. Almost reminiscent.]

Barricade.

Before he left, he gave me some advice, and I would like your opinion on it.

[raceme]

...ah. [Blurr is not sure if he wants to talk about the mech. He misses him a lot. So far he's been trying to keep himself occupied so he only thinks about him when he's alone.]

Go on.

[perfavore]

[Don't worry, Blurr. It won't be mentioned after that. It's more what he said than the fact that Barricade said it.]

He said...'Be wary of Chromedome. Someone who fiddles with needles in your head does not stop."

Or something similar. Do you know anything about this?


[The fact that he's putting so much belief into it...]

[raceme]

[Blurr appreciates that. He knows that his partner didn't get along with other mechs from his world and he couldn't blame them.]

I know that Barricade didn't trust those who could get inside his head without permission. And he had a good reason. [The blue mech frowns for a moment, remembering the advice he got from Rung about Prowl and other bots from his universe. He's been suspicious about his coworkers for a bit and this only helped to make is worse]

It's Chromedome's companies what concerns me. His needles are gone, though. At least I think they are.

[perfavore]

I cannot say I blame him either. He's never lied to me since he got here, I can't imagine he would now.

[At least, he wants to think that...]


...So he shouldn't be a threat any longer. [A claw taps his mouthplate, contemplative.]

Barricade said people like him 'never give that up'. It was...chilling.

[raceme]

He doesn't joke about serious topics and I can't think of a more serious one than this one. Thank you for the warning.

Do you think that Chromedome might try to get his claws back? Why would he want that? There's better ways to deal with prisoners than using Mnemosurgery and he knows very well what happened when he tried that with Tarn.

[perfavore]

I figured you should know. You and McCrane are the only ones I trust on this police force.

[His eyes dart away a moment.]

I do not know him other than what I've seen and the information polizia gave me.
