[The video shows Megatronus acolytes looking as frustrated as an acolyte is capable of looking. It might be because Blurr’s on top of the roof of the old Police Force headquarters. Or it might be because Blurr’s turbofox, Frank, is yipping and growling at them, running around their knees at fast speed to trip them, and generally making it difficult for them to get to the building and reach Blurr.]

I reclaim this building is the name of the Police Force again as it was our rightful place so many months ago. [Blurr wishes he had a flag with the police Force emblem to stick to the roof. Alas, he does not, which is a shame. Blurr and Frank are far from alone there and he turns to face his acolyte (who's on the sidelines looking really uncomfortable) and Deckard.] Remind me to get a flag. OhanddesignthePoliceForceemblem.

It would go faster if you got your lazy aft down here and helped, Blurr. [Bulkhead came into the screen, looking up at Blurr in annoyance.] And are we gonna build that road, or not? Stop stallin' on your end of it.

Oh, come on, we can do both! [Deckard comes into view suddenly, up on the roof by Blurr.] It'll be fun! And I've already got the PERFECT logo. Check it out!

[He transforms, chassis balanced precariously off the edge of the roof so his engine hood is tilted down enough that Bulkhead can see the emblem spread across the center.]

What about this? Only fill in the black with the Autobot face, and replace 'BP' with 'PF'? For Police Force! [He transforms back but OOPS falls clean over the edge. Not to worry, though! He catches himself and pulls himself back up. No biggie!]

That could work…[Blurr snickers at Deckard, amused and then turns to Bulk one last time.] I know you can’t do it without my invaluable help but the lave pit is not going anywhere, We’ll both help you out as soon as we finish, don’t worry my friend.

[They got important law stuff to do first, like angering everyone in the Megatronus’s quadrant.]

[Blurr huffs right back to no effect, Cliff isn't even looking, and goes back to do his thing.

Lucky for Cliffjumpe, once he arrives he will find Blurr free of the green energon's influence thanks to Blackarachnia.

He's currently sitting on the ground, confused as hell, with Frank dozing off next to him.]

... Blurr?

[Transforming and walking over, Cliffjumper frowns down at Blurr because he can tell the body language is far different from during the earlier conversation.]

[...!

He almost jumps out of his armor. He didn't heard Cliffjumper arriving.]

OhhelloCliff. It is too late to say I'm sorry?

[Giving Blurr another moment of stare, he crossed his arms over his chestplates, optics narrowing... and then his stance relaxed some.]

You're okay now?

And of 'course it ain't. [He sniggered a bit at that.] If you're actually aware you might have somethin' to be sorry for, you are better. What happened?

[A shy nod.] Blackarachnia tied me up and stabbed my neck with yellow energon....that fixed it.

Then_I'm really sorry for yelling at you and not listening. I found a small ^{rowth of green} crystals clustered beside one of the headstones in the graveyard. I kept one with me and WHILE I didn't realize it I started to act in that strange way.

She did... what?! [Cliffjumper yelled, glancing around but of course she wasn't there. And then he caught on to what Blurr was saying and something sounded... like it'd be significant with that.

But he couldn't tell why.]

... crystals? And don't worry about it, Blurr. It ain't like I couldn't tell something was wrong and you wouldn't do that if you weren't affected by something, or something had happened.

She fixed the problem. In a drastic way but it worked. [Blurr still looks uneasy. He had a panic attack when she did that because BEING TRAPPED PLEASE NO but thankfully BA let him go once he was back to normal.]

Apparently those are what is causing people's behavior to change. [Ahh the look of relief he's givign Cliffjumper.] Thank you. I feel bad for yelling at you so much.

... I suppose. Doesn't sound like a good way to do it though. [Shaking his helm with a huff, Cliffjumper rubbed the back of his helm as he frowned at the ground.

Crystals... strangely coloured energon crystals. For some reason he thought of Starscream, which brought a warm flush to his circuits and that was... nice and odd but he hadn't seen any strangely coloured crystals.]

Don't think I've seen any. And hey, [walking up next to Blurr and squatting down, Cliffjumper reached out to squeeze Blurr's arm and then dropped his hand.] it wasn't your fault. Ya didn't do it 'cause that's how you really think, so stop thinking about it.

It wasn't the best. [Blurr shudders, remembering.

Then he tilts his head at his friend and gives him a thankful smile.] I'm glad you weren't affected. I know you are right but all the things I said... [And did. Rose is going to be so pissed.]

Doubt it was, no. [He scowl, nasal ridge scrunching and feeling like there surely must've been some better way to do it... And then he shrugs, the scowl going into a grimace as he shifts on his feet.]

Yeah, I know. [Something with that statement seems odd, though, and he frowns.] Least I don't think I am...

[Another shake of his helm.]

Like I said, try not to think 'bout it too much.

You know how I react when I feel trapped. [Cliff has seen it in person, it's not nice. Burr reaches out so he's the one giving Cliffjumper a squeeze in the arm before standing up.]

Thank you, my friend. I really don't see you any different...

Yeah, I do. [Cliffjumper gives Blurr a pat on the shoulder in response, and then shrugs.]

I don't think so, no. Nothin' much seems different... [He should probably confess about what happened with Starscream, but he doesn't want to admit that he might have overreacted and that Blurr might be right, so he just... shifts on his feet instead.]

[All things considered, BA let him go rather quickly once he was back to normal and panicking so even she noticed.]

That's for the best. [Cliff will have to tell him eventually. Probably once Blurr discover it thanks to Starscream because Blurr will try to hunt down the red mech.] We should get back to the temple, I'll talk to the acolytes once things have calmed down.

Considerin' the slag that seems to go on 'round here right now? Definitely. [Cliffjumper snorts. And he will neveeerrrrr tell him!!]

Yeah, sure. Seems like a good idea.

Maybe they won't be as pissed off in a few days. [And maybe water wil turn into gold.

>8[ Don't make him go find you, Cliff.]

Sorry that you had to come here. [Blurr smirks.] You looked like you wanted to punch me to my senses. I wouldn't have blammed you.

Uh-huh. Dunno 'bout that. [He'll just roll his optics at that.

And he'll hide if he has to!]

I would've, if I thought it'd help! [he grins sharply and then just shakes his helm.] Glad I didn't have to, though. And I don't mind drives, especially if ya need me... to shake some sense into you.

[Smirk.]

Thanks for ruining my hopes, Cliff.

[You better start hiding, bro.

And awww BLurr's really touched. He puts and arms around the minibot to give him a hug and bump their helms together.] What would I do without you. Piss off half the Haven, probably.

Someone's gotta do it. [Laughing quickly, Cliffjumper grinned and gave a second bump of their helms back.] You'd probably manage perfectly well, ya know. You ain't intolerable or a slagger, so what you got to worry about?

I also have a tendency to end in trouble. It's a thing with the Elite Guard. Glad I have you around to pull me out of it.

As much as I can, since that kinda happens me too. [The roll of his optics this time is more for himself than Blurr.]

Such a pair we are. [Blurr chuckles as they turn to the temple's direction.]

Yeah. Let's go then.

[No use hanging around here if he doesn't have to beta some sense into Blurr or drag him off to a medic.]

[Nuuuuuu not medics.]
