[it is still not decepticon to admit weakness so this post sounds hella jovial]

Next time it looks like I want an all-expenses paid vacation to Cybertron-knows-where, I'm not going to risk it. I'll just book a few days off from whatever it is stressing my processor and do the mountain retreat thing. Or drink.

So. Giving due credit to the planet for an overdue and pretty decent assassination attempt - I think, still a little fuzzy on that, I'll get back to you - what else have I missed? Vandal, how's your flimsy excuse for a house, any stiff breezes take it down yet? Blurr, are you still overworking yourself? Miko, Knock Out, your friends ever turn up? Soundwave, I'm thinking Sinatra? It's human, but nobody's perfect, right?

Megatron--...

...Still here?

[vandalization]

[vandalization]

[vandalization]

Holy fuck! You're okay?!

[vandalization]

[Voice] - LOL sorry...the other Stars hasn't answered him for a few days, and you two sound--

[notyourblueangel]

((ooc: --enough alike, he doesn't know yet there are two and to listen/look for any differences.))



Starscream.

Where have you been? You never answered me back about-

You told me Megatron's not here!

[voice] poor thundercracker ;;

[ex_dishonestly997]

Th--...

Oh.

[a little laugh. One of those "wow I am stressed" kind of laughs, commenting on his own inability to think properly, and then he vents out.] Thundercracker. ...It's been a long time.

[experimentality]

Oh! You've returned.

Welcome back.

Show me your Glyph.

[His optics flash.]

Now.

[How did he come back? They never come back...]

[ex_dishonestly997]

[fumbles for a second to switch to video, holding up the insignia, and instead of saying something bitter or catty (or worse, subservient) he fogs a little] That answers my burning "did you come pull my aft out of a tailspin" question.

[automobile_enthusiast]

[Well. Isn't this an interested development? Knock Out, having been through it once already, isn't nearly as dramatic about this as everyone else, although he does seem surprised.]

...Ah. As a matter of fact, he did.

[ex_dishonestly997]

First good news I've heard all day, and I don't even care that it's yours. Let me just bask in that little glow for a klik.

I hate this planet more than I hate Earth, Knock Out.

Or next time you could shoot yourself and end everyone's misery.

[She is going to set her comm down for a moment so she doesn't break it. Before doing a bit of a happy dance, but don't think she is trying to keep some tears whipped away, she is so not crying.]

[angleofscience]

[He had, of course, noticed the disappearance. It was hard not to, all things considered, but it had been... easier, to put it aside.

Ignore it.

Since it was similar to other situations, and a reminder of what could happen and, well. He'd rather ignore that.

That didn't mean he'd ignore this return.]

Starscream. I'm glad to see you're all right. What happened?

[Jetfire frowns, the small smile from earlier just as easily gone for more possibly dire matters.]

[Video]

[ex_dishonestly997]

I'll get back to you on what happened. I don't... actually know.

[awkward.]

You're glad?

[docbot]

Welcome back.

[Have a little bit of a smile and a nod, just enough for respect.]

I take it you've come back to us in good condition?

[ex_dishonestly997]

[as little as he wants to alienate himself from medics of any kind, he's still not sure how to treat certain Autobot medics. Especially ones as famous as Ratchet.]

Nothing you'd want to fix, I'm sure. [no, that wasn't friendly] I don't want to trouble anyone.

[organ_pharming]

Well, there's a potent message for taking care of the planet if I've ever heard one.

[ex_dishonestly997]

Yeah, if you don't recycle for it, it'll try to recycle you. [tsk.] Still have that disarming personality?

[thxforthememories]

... You're back!

And... you sound the same.

[ex_dishonestly997]

Should I sound different?

I bet a lot of mechs would like that.

[4_toteachus]

You're back!

I'm glad.

Are you okay?

[ex_dishonestly997]

[although he will switch to text for 4, he's not going to be the best at it.]

i will be jsut need time

how are you

[has_guts]

[Didn't he just see this guy after he arrived? Could something have happened that quickly? True, he was still figuring things out, but...]

The planet tried to kill you?

[video]

[ex_dishonestly997]

[stares at the feed cluelessly for a second]

....Optimus...?

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Was going to say something along the lines of 'welcome back glad you're not in my medbay' but then >planet tried to kill me just stops him cold]

... Wait. Are you claiming this Cybertron tried to deactivate you? Though since you claim to be "fuzzy", maybe your memory core is glitching.

[Because really what.]

[ex_dishonestly997]

Don't you think if it were a person, they'd have posted already bragging about it?

Our Cybertron wants us dead in my home universe, too. I guess I'm used to it.

[aerospacecommander]

You missed nothing exciting.

[ex_dishonestly997]

I don't know, I've got a few friends running around like decapitated turbofoxes. That's exciting.

[Video]

[a_father_to_his_men]

Starscream, I had heard you were gone.

I am still here, I hope that is a good thing, in your opinion.

How are you fairing?

[Video]

[ex_dishonestly997]

[ahah here's a conversation he was worried about]

...It's a good thing, yeah. [he struggles to find a response that doesn't betray weakness, doesn't sound needy, because he is a little hurt and a little broken and a little vulnerable, and a lot eager to hide the aforementioned facts.]

I have no complaints, Megatron. --Has anyone else from your world arrived?

[Video]

[copperkitty]

You must have done something pretty bad if the planet was trying to assassinate you.
