[Video] In the Junk Pile

[dirge]

[When the camera clicks on, all that's visible above a mound of junk is a pair of yellow wings. They twitch, wiggle, and then suddenly go straight as someone murmurs something that sounds like Oh, yes. That's lovely~.

The junk shudders and then explodes outward as Dirge climbs his way out of it, shaking off random scraps.]

Another day, another new world! And this one is so full of things just lying around...

[He's holding something that looks like it could be a mangled old gas mask, pinching experimentally at the long tube hanging from it.]

This place is mine now, understand? I've marked it. [He gestures and the camera swings to the word 'DIRGE' spelled out in old cans.]

So stay away. [The screen is obscured by a pointing claw, then narrow red optics, and then....just junk. It seems he's gone back into the pile.]

'Pirge'? What kind of a name is that?

[Because, yeah, one of those oil cans kinda fell over in your dramatic point there.]

Re: [video]

[dirge]

What?! [He resurfaces again to inspect his handiwork and ....yeah it does look like a 'P'. He screeches and rushes to fix it.]

Dirge! IT'S DIRGE!

[wreckandrotors]

[Headtilt and a laugh. ]

That's really not much better.

[Hey wait, aren't you...? There should be something different about your head. Uh, other than that chin thingy.]

Re: [video]

[dirge]

What's wrong with it? [And are you referring to his name or his trash sculpture?]

[Audio]

[perfavore]

Most would chose something far more...valuable to lay claim to.

[Really? A junk pile? Go big, Dirge.]

[Video]

[dirge]

Ooo, a mysterious voice.

There's bound to be something valuable in here. And I'll keep all the rest because more is always better!

[Audio]

[perfavore]

I prefer to be discrete.

And I cannot say I agree. Quality far surpasses quantity.

Re: [video]

[dirge]

Why, is someone after you? What do you look like?

Well, I prefer both if possible.

[Video/private]

[youhavebeenswindled]

[For some reason Swindle isn't sure if he's happy or not happy to have the clone here. Guess it's time to find out, hm?]

Well, I honestly didn't expect you to see you here. Where in the junk pile are you?

Re: [Video/private]

[dirge]

[Dirge straightens up when he hears that voice. And the video confirms it.]

Swindle? [Now that is someone he has not seen in a very long time. Around three years to be exact.]

Same to you. [He glances around.] It all looks the same here.

[Video/private]

[youhavebeenswindled]

[For Swindle it's only been a few months, and he's been a little worried about leaving you and Thrust alone for so long. What if you destroyed his merchandise?]

Hm, why don't you come to me? Your device there has a tracking system to it~

[raceme]

Marked it? [What are you, a turbofox? Hm..Blurr can tell that you look similar to the Starscream from his universe, but it doesn't hurt to check.] Are YOU another of Starscream's clones?

[dirge]

Yes. [Dirge gestures proudly to his can arrangement.]

Isn't it obvious?

[raceme]

I guess...Yes YES it is. He's not here. [Blurr is tyeing to figure out what trait do you represent.]

[audio]

[namesnotprowl]

Dirge?! [He thought you got eaten by the teleporters on Sacrosanct or something.]

Well, this is unexpected.

[Video]

[dirge]

You sound familiar... [Why do some mechs around here not use the video function?]

[Perma-audio]

[namesnotprowl]

Already forgot me? And after all that trouble you put me through, having to reattach Blackout's spark after you tried to rip it out. [Because unsubtle reminders are much more fun~]

[Video]

[tearsofsteel]

You're gonna need a lot more labels.

Re: [Video]

[dirge]

Do you have any?

[Video] finally I get to use this icon

[tearsofsteel]

Maybe, maybe not. It's more fun to find out, right?

[Video]

[dontasktrix]

[So much peering at the video. If Slipstream were to meet Dirge in her home universe, she doesn't know of it, since she got sucked to this stellar place before such a thing may have happened. Still, his body shell is very familiar.]

Dirge? [Because 'Pirge' isn't even a word, is it?]

[If he is a clone, he's not the ego, despite the marking with his name. Thundercracker wouldn't deign to soil his imperious talons by dredging through piles of junk.]

Re: [Video]

[dirge]

Yes, Dirge. [The clone emphasizes, bristling at the camera. Wait, that voice is familiar.]

Sister? [From the video it certainly looks like it.]

[Video]

[dontasktrix]

[She's not sure.] Possibly?

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

So, you're claiming junk, then?

No complaining here.

[dirge]

Good.

Just stay away. And tell your friends to stay away too.
