[It's been a long and busy day, but all of Blurr’s days are like that. He usually doesn’t post to the comm unless it’s something important, but he’s been feeling weird since dawn and he wants a distraction.

At first, only text shows up. All the same message, repeated over and over again.]

All work and no play makes Blurr a dull boy.

[The post switches over to video. Blurr is on the highest tower of Vector’s temple, close to one of the platforms, and he's walking on one of the crystal-like cables as if it were a tightrope. For the curious, he got up there by running since there’s no other way to get to the top, unless you have wings.

Blurr frowns for a second before his lips curl into a grin and his optics flash. They look almost red for a nanosecond.]

Who wants to play with Blurr?

It's cute, trying to keep a secret from me. You and I know that now.

I thought you said you don't go digging around in processors. Do the rules change if it's an emergency?

The fraggin' rules change when I realize they don't mean anything.

[alarmed] What are you talking about?

I can play by my own rules and personal sense of morality all I want. But it never ends. It never stops. Nobody cares about right, wrong, Autobot, Decepticon--

I'm tired.

You need a break. Don't do anything crazy.

[is everyone losing their minds god Starscream hates trying to be the mature one Soundwave bloo bloo]

Listen to me, I know best.

Oh, I'm not budging from my chair.

What's best for me, Starscream? To be passive, waiting, hoping for the best?

You're there for a lot of people. You're important to them. I don't know what kind of idea you have in your head that you've been less than effective, but you probably saved Vandal's life. That means something to her.

It could have been more efficient if everyone wasn't a fraggin' idiot!

I warned them, Starscream. And they didn't do anything. They didn't care, or they had to feel bad for themselves first.

I know you're pissed.

Revenge is a thing. Just because you don't take it right away doesn't mean you don't take it. As long as you and the other party are still online, it's not off the table.

I'll keep that in mind.

Soundwave.

Look.

You have my Link address. I'm going to be available, if you have an emergency and you need help or if you just want to talk to me, don't hesitate. Okay?

...This a wingmate thing? Where you're from.

[a brief silence as he tries to work out the answer Soundwave wants to hear, regardless of the truth.

Then he just goes with the truth because frag it.]

No. It's a you and me thing.

...Heh. That's sweet of you.

Despite all this... noise. Yeah. I believe you.

...did, uh.

Did something go wrong with your filters, or something?

No. Those are still up.

There's a different noise that I always hear. Heh, so many... secrets. It's disgusting, isn't it.

...I'd be an idiot to expect full disclosure. From you or anyone else. [and a dick, considering that he never gives full disclosure, but details.]

I hear so many things, Starscream. More than I should. Filters for thoughts are up, but there's something else I can't filter out.

It's. Awful. It never stops.

I don't remember what silence is like.

When did that start? What--Soundwave, I want to help you.

A year ago, the silence stopped.

The only mech that can help me with that is a dimension away.

Who?

He could end up here, you never know.

Shockwave, of the Transtechs.

He's a little more tolerable than Prism. At least he tried to wipe my memory.

...Okay, nix the wanting-him-here plan.

Yes. I feel that way, too.
