[Audio only, because wow, there are just some things he can't explain right now. Not that he could even if he wanted to--which is really something he should address at some point too-- but well, priorities. One thing at a time.]

This is--[there's the noise of a mech roughly clearing his vocalizer. The pitch changes a bit after that, it almost seems intentional.] Sorry. It's Wing. Ah. A question if you will. To those of you who went out to the Badlands with Ashitaka....

Have you, perchance, noticed any... after effects?

I--don't want to alarm anyone. Just...curious?

[Wing's voice--doesn't seem right. But still possibly familiar? And for a mech who always chooses video when conversing over the Link, all of this audio stuff might seem a bit peculiar.]


[Locked to Drift:] And Drift...ah, where ever you happen to be, I hope you're...okay?

You certainly seem to think you're impressive.

But weren't you saying the other day that size didn't matter? [That was in reference to Jetfire, wasn't it?]

[aerospacecommander]

Like I said, you'd have to come here and find out.

[Because he's not going to argue while he can be stomping around and carrying Jetfire like a doll for once.]

Starscream...you realize I'm not in the habit of giving you what you want? The more you hint that I should do it, the less inclined I am.

[He know's better than to indulge your massive ego. That and he's not going to go out there just so you can berate him for being not only smaller but also incapable of flight.]

[aerospacecommander]

Oh, I know. I also don't want anything from you. Sorry.

Oh gosh he's got the claws out now...

[winged_knight]

Apologies, I stand corrected. [TROLOL, not really.] You don't want, you need an audience like me for you greatness. Some affirmation that you are what you think you are. You want to prove yourself so badly to that you've taken to baiting people into it. You're screaming into the void for someone to validate you and all you get back is silence.

[Apparently being huge means it's easier to try and get under your plating.]

It was cute at first. Funny even. But it's getting banal now...

oh my oh my

[aerospacecommander]

Or maybe you're just trying too hard to get into my plating.

I expect dinner and a movie first.

[winged_knight]

It's cute how you redirect. Am I hitting too close to home?

[aerospacecommander]

You're not even in the ball park anymore.

[This is a half lie. Part of him doesn't care and part of him does want that validation.]

[winged_knight]

Hmmmm... I see. Yes indeed I do.

[More redirection. It's more telling than the truth is really.]
