[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?

Yeah, okay, sure. Whatever.

Just a question: Can you ever, just for a klik, shut the arrogance off? Or do you like implode under the weight of all the hypocrisy?

[ex_dishonestly997]

I'm the one trying to meet you in the middle. You're screaming about 'Con evil, and I'm telling you everybody in war does awful things.

You really need help, and I'm telling you that as a fellow Cybertronian.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

You know what? You're just like Zeta Prime. Seeing evil and badness everywhere but your own fraggin' self, and using that to justify anything.

Don't tell me what I need, cause I can sure tell you what you need.

[ex_dishonestly997]

Let's see if I can quote myself again a little. "We've both killed plenty of mechs." "We had to do terrible things to be free." "Nobody was right."

I know I've done evil things. Do you know you have? It's nowhere near as simple as you desperately wish it was.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Yeah, of course you'd quote yourself. [Seriously. You do like the sound of your own voice and self-righteousness.]

I was a Wrecker. I've done bad things. But not evil. That's a distinction you ought to try making.

[Who's the one trying to make it 'simple'? OH right, Starscream, because simple means he can do his slick wordgames.]

[ex_dishonestly997]

"Bad things but not evil" is the biggest cop-out I've ever heard in my long online existence. You're sick and you need help.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Says you. Trust me, I've been in therapy.

[Sorry, he trusts Rung more than your dime-store obviously self-motivated Dr Phil act.]

[ex_dishonestly997]

[wow Starscream is actually kind of worried about Whirl if he's that out of touch] For how long, a breem? Seriously.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Yeah, Whirl can feel the love and concern. Really.]

Long enough to know.

[Keep your breems with your other Marvel stuff: Whirl's got enough issues!]

[ex_dishonestly997]

I'm getting the sense you don't know much of anything, and that you're a danger to yourself and others. Casualty of war? Yeah. Definitely.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Thanks for the sympathy.

Casualty of the war you started.

[ex_dishonestly997]

It's tough love.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Keep it to yourself, next time.

[ex_dishonestly997]

You're the one who said you were done talking to me. I didn't notice you stopping, though.

Why don't you hang up?
