re_alignment | [Action/Accidental Video]

[Mirage had searched all over. Every corner of the haven had been inspected, some possibly even twice. Megatronus's temple, while he felt awkward being there, was empty, and so was Ironhide's room. It was like he...vanished. And Mirage feared that.

He'd already lost Ironhide once...

But it was time to face reality. The old bot was gone, and now it was just Mirage and Ratchet. And if that meant stepping up to the plate, then so be it. But first things first.

He wandered out to a rather vacant part of the Haven, and the feed clicks on to show him arranging debris in the most attractive way possible. It wasn't the BEST job he could have done, but for what he had to work with, it was pretty impressive. They were nothing more than large metal slabs, strong enough not to be moved, and smooth to the touch. He'd worked hard trying to find something sleek enough, and with a few edits of intricate design, they formed slight monuments, one larger than the other, and sat them side by side. Then, with a gold tipped finger, he ran it along the smooth metal front, etching Cybertronian lettering into them, the large first, and then the smaller one.

Ironhide. Que.

Back home he didn't have enough time to grant a proper funeral for either...but here, where the calm of the storm was endless, he could. He sat down facing them, as if he were sitting across from the bots themselves, with his arms on his knees, wings drooped down. Maybe he should have done Bumblebee and Sideswipe too...but he'd rather get concrete proof.

He couldn't give up on them. Not yet.]

They would appreciate it, Mirage.

[He looks down at his link, wings idly fluttering like an insect's.]

It is still hard to take in.

It never grows easy.

[There's a heavy, almost modulated hiss from his vocalizer.

A sigh.]

I can only hope Ironhide remembers my advice...

I hold hope, as well, Mirage. Where are you? I shall meet you.

[Wow, that's certainly, um...a thing?]

You're not a really good artist, are you?

[Mirage doesn't even really look at the Link, keeping his eyes focused on the two blocks in front.]

Perhaps not, Orso. I doubt they will judge me for it.

Well...as long as you tried your bear-y best, then they shouldn't. ...Unless it was a contest, then if they aren't judging you, they aren't doing their job.

[His voice is rather curt and short, his usual flowing speech not as...well...the above. He gives a small shake of his head.]

They have...moved on.

Ironhide... he ain't here?

[Mirage 'exhales' air gently.]

No. I have searched everywhere.

I...

[Granted, Ironhide didn't remember him, but that doesn't matter to Soundwave. He never stopped caring anyway.]

I'm so sorry, Mirage. I promise to tell you if I see 'im.

[The small sentiment is comforting, as his fingers trace along that etching he'd only just done a few moments ago.]

Grazie, mio amico. It is just...

This is the second time.

[Blurr stares at the video for some time before to actually speak out loud. When he does, he tries to sound gentle.]

Mirage are</i< you alright?

[He doesn't look down at the Link, his optics focused on the two monuments in front of him.]

...Nostalgic, I suppose.

Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?

...

[He's silent for a moment longer.]

I will be fine...I do not wish to be a waste of your time.

Welcome to the club, Mario.

...

[A slight pause.]

You lost someone?

That's the indication, Spicy Meatball.

[GUNMAX IS A FUNMAX.]

Who was it, coglione?

What a shame.

Is there something you want?

I'm still waiting, Mirage.

[You keep standing him up.]

You seem content with that.
