[Leaning back, slumped in a chair is Soundwave. He's holding his keytar close, slowly strumming bits of music into it. Yet, none of it is its usual cheer, the upbeat determination that he usually plays.

As he presses the keys, playing the morose tune, the holograms from his keytar form a display of crystal plants attempting to emerge from the floor by his feet. But they gray out, crumble, and turn to ash. Something trying to live, but expiring quickly.

It doesn't matter. Does it.

I'm just gonna sit here, and listen. All that noise in my head, comin' in. Every beat, every rhythm. In and out. I can't stop that. Each one, new and different. So. Much. Sound.

...

Don't come lookin' for me. I have enough noise.


[ooc: Your character may or may not be inspired... to feel massive discomfort from Soundwave's current music.]

Heh. Well, I don't know exactly what I'm like in your universe, but I'm starting to think I need a new rolemodel, anyway.

[Spoilers he would hate his SG self probably violently.

He smiles a little.]


Yeah? It's not an obligation, if you don't feel up to it.

He sounds like--[A TOOL.] ...someone worth following. [feels awful man]

It's okay. I'm not going anywhere, you don't need to chain me to the ground or anything.

[Starscream stands rapt, silent, weight balanced on one foot a little more as he listens. It's a glorying sort of song, he likes the subject. A lot. And he is definitely a listens-to-the-lyrics kind of guy, so after Soundwave is midway through, his faceplates are a little hotter... that could be due to the kiss he's still processing, but it's a lot to take in at once. He impulsively bleeds in air from his compressors to cool his turbines, a soft running hum hopefully masked by the voice.

And when he's done, what can the Seeker say?]


...You do a great a cappella.

[shoves romance aside in a metaphorical sense to get at the business side of things. If Megatron were here, he'd be proud.

But Megatron is not here and Starscream can no longer catch reflected glory.]


You feeling more lucid, now? Listen, if he ran off, there's not gonna be any catching him. He's twice as fast as I am on his worst day.

[Scrap.]

...okay. Calm down. I understand. We're going to make it better. [but how? Don't ask him, man. He just enjoys the feel of those hands on him again, as dangerous and inappropriately timed as it is.]

Do you want us to go look for him?

Yeah. Won't be an easy fix, but few of the things worth doing are.

We've got to find him and slow him down enough to talk to him. I say we give him a couple cycles to burn it off first.
