✘ halo | 686 ebullient prism (crau)

VIDEO

[ Oh look, it's Prism again--still stuck in the body of one of Liege Maximo's Acolytes. He doesn't appear any worse for wear otherwise, and he's currently seated on the berth that occupies one corner of his quarters. ]

Hello!

[ Still as perky as ever, if his bright tone is any indication. ]

How are you all? Well, I hope. Personally I'm rather bored. Incarceration is a dull affair, although I fail to see how this qualifies as any sort of punishment.

That said, I have a simple proposition.

Either Hal Nine-Thousand is brought to me immediately, or I will begin systematically detonating the devices currently implanted within several members of the population.

There may not be a better way. Vandal. This tells us something. He did something when he had me, all of us. We need to fix that.

[Focus on that, not well, anything else.]

No. Fuck you. No. Not acceptable.

[And now we dig our heels in.]

[And for the first time he falters. ]

Vandal. Please. Don't do this.

[Hats off and oh she mad.]

No. You don't do this. Fucking- you know what, fuck you. If not for me, then what would Wing say? You just gonna skip out on the both of us then? Just because you have to go run off and be a "hero"? No. Fuck that.

No. Do better. I know you can.

[Well, if she wanted to hurt him, she should be pretty happy, because he looks like he's in physical pain. He'd rather be in physical pain, actually.]

Wing doesn't need me. I've only ever brought him down. And you?

You...have others. [Soundwave, Wing. ]

[He shifts on the berth, leads trailing across his frame.] What else do you think I can do like this?

Are you serious?! Are we doing this again?

I can't really speak for Wing but I'm pretty fucking certain he wants you.

And me? So? I have other friends but none of them are you. You can't be replaced.

[SEETHE.]

Meet me in the junkpile. I'm going to find it and fix it.

[Someone who has had very minimal medical training? SURE.]

Vandal. [He looks up, and locks the feed.]

He doesn't. I...Luxord told me. Wing doesn't want me.

[Ouch that really hurt to say.]

No. Vandal. I can't. What if I...go...off? [He's not taking you with him.]

Wh-

The fuck are you even talking about? Who the fuck is Luxord and how the hell does he know what Wing wants?

Then you'd be doing me a favor. Get your ass out there pronto. We figure this out and you could save lives without having to be a fucking dumbass.

Luxord. The human with the cards. He did a reading, and it....told me things.

[Wing doesn't want him. Drift is too arrogant. Luxord was right.]

Vandal. You realize you're trying to get me to sneak out of Medbay.

[Which he was planning on doing anyway, but you don't need to know that. It's also his last ditch defense.]

You mean he did a tarot reading. Look, I got sucked into a cult and even I know tarot readings are fucking stupid. It's a kids game. Want me to fold you a paper fortune reader while we're at it? Did it ever occur to you to just talk to him? You're like a fucking teenaged girl!

[OHSASS.]

Oh, and so you're just gonna roll over and die? What about me, huh? And don't give me that crap about 'having other people'. You are my best friend.

[Okay, so a little selfish maybe.]

Didn't fucking stop you before, did it? You were gonna leave anyway.

But it was accurate, Vandal. He'd never met me and he knew things. From the cards.

[This is the mech who believes the Knights of Cybertron have evolved into energy beings, Vandal. He might be a little gullible to woo-woo things.]

I'm not rolling over. I'm trying to make my death worth something.

[But the rest of that...is something else.]

I...know. And I'm sorry. I didn't know he was going to do this.

Vandal, please.

It's a real easy trick to do. You make educated assumptions well enough based on what you already know. Even if he did know things, why don't you just fucking talk to your fucking boyfriend?

Seriously. Why are we talking about your relationship problems when you could die.

Death is fucking pointless. Do you know how many people died on Titan because they believed their death meant something? And they were just dying because of fucking sick bastards?

No. Don't "Vandal, please" me. Get your pointy ass down here right now and let me fix you.

Because I don't know where he is, Vandal. I thought everything was...good and then he's sleeping with Soundwave and then he's seriously hurt and nobody saw fit to tell me anything and then...this.

[Helpless hands. He is not so good at relationships. He won't even mention that you're sleeping with Soundwave, too.]

But we could--[His mouth snaps shut.]

Karrie.

All right. But please, at least wear your helmet.

Sleeping wit-

No you dope! He's been in the medbay! He's fine. Just been asleep. Christ. Fucking hell.

God. Yea of course I'll wear my fucking helmet. Fuck.

Nobody 'just sleeps' for that long. He's not fine.

[But he doesn't want to talk about Wing any more. If he does, he's going to ask he to give Wing a last message and that would be, he realizes, a bit histrionic.]

Vandal. I'm just trying to keep you safe. Because you don't have to do this.

He'll wake up. It's just a matter of time.

But since we like assuming so much, why stop there?

[You get The Look.]

Shut your mouth and just do as I say. God. Fucking. Christ.

But. [He sighs.] But something's happened to him. Something bad.

[Yes, he needs the look because clearly he's not whipped enough already.]

Fine. All right. I'm coming. [Just....stop being upset.]

You have a right to be worried, but right now? We need to take care of you.

See you soon, then.

Vandal.

If something happens. Tell him..[ He frowns.]

No. Don't tell him anything.

Oh for fuck's sake. Okay. Jesus. Just come on.
