07 || [Video; Locked from Chromedome]

[flashdrive]

[The Link kicks on, to show Rewind in his quarters, sorting out some datapads he'd found in Trion's library. His shoulders are pretty slumped, and he carries a certain fatigue about him. Something very unlike the bouncy little flashdrive.  But there's a reason for this broadcast, as he turns to it.  This isn't an easy thing for Rewind to come out on the feed and say, so bear with him.]

Has anyone seen Chromedome as of late? He's hardly in the temple, at least to my knowledge and...


I worry what he's been up to.

[It was a bit shameful to admit, not trusting your Conjunx Endura. But this was a bit more personal than he'd like to admit.]


It's like ever since I told him to break his needles he's been...distant. He won't tell me anything, either. Just...'busy'.


{OOC to CD: Despite it being video, it's totally okay for Chromedome to walk in on this}

(ooc: No that's totally fine! It doesn't mess anything up and is probably completely legit info Deckerd would know! <3))

[That's what he was afraid of. Prowl was an obstacle he'd been hoping to avoid.]


Might as well, I know he'll just be bursting at the seems to meet with me...

[Don't get too excited, Rewind.]

[thankyou4myheart]

[That gets a bit of a concerned frown from the BP unit.]

  Prowl can be . . . difficult to approach, I know.

  Is there something wrong?  Something I can help with, maybe?

  …I'm sorry.  I don’t think we've properly met, by the way.  My name is Deckard.  Pleased to meet you.

[Video]

[flashdrive]

That's a polite way of putting it.


...

Oh, the name's Rewind. You might not know me, but I've kept a good check on the Link, so I've technically seen you around.

[There's a slight wave, attempting to be cheerful. Yeah, he may or may not have all public logs copied to his head.]

And no, it's just ....Prowl.

[Deckard's Japanese.  Polite is more or less to be expected.  And the comment about the Link doesn't bother him.  He knows he's been around enough for even casual observers to likely be aware of his presence by now.  It still felt right to properly introduce himself.]
  I'm afraid I can't say the same, but I'm glad to meet you now, Rewind.
  I see.  Do you know him well?  Did you know him before coming here?

[flashdrive]

Feeling's mutual, Deckerd. You're just the kind of cop we need around here.

[Unlike SOMEONE.]

We have a...history.

[His head turns away a moment, arms folding.]

Needless to say, we're not fond of each other.

[Video]

[thankyou4myheart]

[Deckard's grin turns sheepish at the compliment. Even though he's heard it before also in a conversation that included Prowl...he's less and less surprised by this.]

Thank you, Rewind. I do my best.

[And the grin goes from sheepish to wry.]

I'm not sure that he's fond of anyone. [Except maybe Chromedome. He'll leave that part unspoken, all things considered.]

Anyway, when I see Chromedome next, I'll be sure to let him know you're looking for him.

[Video]

[flashdrive]

Yeah, that's just a...Prowl thing.


[But he seems appreciative of Deckerd's support, and it shows in his face (somehow).]

Thanks, Deckerd, just keep me posted on things happening at HQ, and I'll be eternally grateful, okay?

[Video]

[thankyou4myheart]

Will do!
