[Video/Action; Originating from Vector Prime's temple] Pata-pata!

[perfavore]

 [UGH. That is not the audio function. Stupid new body.

Have you ever seen an angry Italian Ferrari robot? Well if you have, you probably haven't seen them in six-inch form.  The Link opens up to show Mirage, and it's obvious to see that something about him has changed. Compared to everything else around him he seems...more petite. Not that it stops him. The bot is rather stubborn, and is making his way around Vector Prime's temple (at a snail's pace, mind you), hoping he could just voice-talk his way through this problem, get it solved and move on with his life.

However, luck is not on this guy's side today, so congrats everyone! You're looking at bitty!Mirage! And...he's not too happy, rattling off curse words in both Italian AND Cybertronian. That's not good language, mister )8<

On the front of his chestplate is the Cybertronian glyph for "Mirage".  An...odd aesthetic.]

Dio mio...This is embarrassing...

[If Shockwave or Barricade see this--]

Ironhide. Anyone. I require some assistance.

[perfavore]

In their defense, you did try to kill a few.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

C'mon, that was only a couple. And it's been a while.

[Action]

[perfavore]

A couple hundred.

Did you forget Mission City?

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

I wasn't even there. Ironhide bashed me into a freeway pillar before I got t'the city.

[Though it may have had something to do with Bonecrusher distracting him by leaping on Optimus Prime.]

When I came to I had to limp out of there before Sector Seven showed up.

[Action]

[perfavore]

Sounds like the day just wouldn't agree with you.

[Mirage it's like you meshed three sayings into one.]

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

[It's okay. He's heard many mangled sayings lately.]

Heh. It was like Karma decided to finally cash in, all over my aft. Big concrete pillar and next thing y'know I'm waking up and everyone else is dead and I can't... hail Frenzy on the comms.

[He laughs at that first part, but as the conversation goes on, he casts his gaze down slightly, nodding.

He knows what it's like to lose a partner.]

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

... That was a while ago, though. Anyway.

[He's definitely not going to get into that here. It's. Still awkward for him to discuss with outsiders, even after all this time.]

Action]

[perfavore]

[There's a slightly awkward silence.]

This conversation has been...surprisingly nice.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Yeah. It has been. Usually don't have conversations like this with Tyran Autobots.

[Action]

[perfavore]

[Watch your language. Barricade, enjoy a little itty bitty cable wrapping around part of your spiky helm.]

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

[Hey now, what's that for? Those chevrons are sensitive. Barricade makes a short noise.]

Hey hey hey, careful-!

[Action]

[perfavore]

[The little Autobot tries to tug them free but...nope; stuck.

He's also hanging by that cable.]

We are not tyrants.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Not tyrants. Tyrans. It's the name of our timestream. Tyran 707.04 Delta.

[He points to Mirage, as he carefully reaches up to try to unstick the little Autobot.]

Tyran Autobot.

[He points to himself.]

Tyran Decepticon.

[Action]

[perfavore]

[Oh, that's much different then. His hands cling to Barricade's face for extra protection as he reaches up.]

Ah, my mistake.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

If I really wanted t'insuate something like that, I have much more choice words for it.

[Are you really clinging on his face Mirage. Really?]

I'm not gonna hurt you, you know.

[And that chevron is really sensitive. D::]

[Action]

[perfavore]

I have no doubts your vocabulary is slightly more vulgar.

[He looks at that hand trying to grab him, and leaps on it, holding onto a finger.]

I know.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Oh, I c'n spit acid and poison when I'm of a mood to.

[His plating relaxes, flattening back down as Mirage grabs onto his claw. He cups his other hand below Mirage and lowers both.]

Then you're doing a sight better than most of our Autobots I meet.

[Action]

[perfavore]

[The miniature bot's optics cast up again at Barricade.]

It takes time to understand.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Mm. I am complicated, aren't I?

[The fact that the other ones have had considerably more history with him probably doesn't help.]

[Action]

[perfavore]

Complicated does not even begin to describe it.

[Those wings seem to flutter again, almost...playfully.]

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Oh? So how would you describe it, then~

[Slyly playful, but genuinely curious at the same time. He flicks his own wings lightly.]

[Action]

[perfavore]

[He gets into a sitting position on that hand again, head tilting.]

Eccentric.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Eccentric, huh? Most folks just call that crazy, y'know.

[But he can tell you are pondering about it, which is more than he could say for others.]

[Action]

[perfavore]

There is difference. It is more of a positive spin, si?

[Granted if they were back home he wouldn't give too thoughts about it...but...being stranded here gives him time to think.]
