[Starscream is crouching, hands out to his sides, claws splayed. He's pretty much covered in fluids; energon and blood and something that glows green. A variety of parts lay scattered around him, mostly limbs ripped from charging enemies. There's a huge grin on his face as he glances down at the screen, wings taut and twitching on his back.]

So much for the mystery of how to kill these things. When in doubt, claw their optics out.

Or... eyes... I suppose. [Something goes squish under his foot.]

Got any harder missions to send me on, Megatronus?

Well, not all of us can be fierce warriors like yourself~

I mean, someone has to... inspect the battlefield when the fighting's over, am I right?

[There's nothing like looting corpses that makes Swindle's day.]

Re: [Video]

[sparkless]

True, true. [He pauses to shoot something off screen several times.]

Ah, yes. After the predators come the scavengers. Enjoy what little is left!

[Video]

[youhavebeenswindled]

Oh, but there's always interesting things that the predators leave behind that the scavengers find.

I suppose you're going to need something from me eventually? Better name it now so I can be prepared.

Re: [Video]

[sparkless]

Maybe I should be a bit more thorough then. [He picks up the corpse of a sharkticon and glances inside it's ruined jaws.]

A pair of stasis cuffs. And a list of your entire inventory. Updated, if you please.

[He doubts Swindle will be able to find any all spark fragments. He'll be on the look out for those anyway himself.]

[Video]

[youhavebeenswindled]

I can get you your first request, but I have to ask how necessary the second one is.

[He doesn't give a list of his inventory to just anyone you know.]

Re: [Video]

[sparkless]

Good. [Because there is no way he is letting Blurr be the only one with a pair of those.]

Just trying to make sure I get to see the good stuff before everyone else.

[He tosses the sharkticon away- none of this is useful to him.]

[Video]

[youhavebeenswindled]

Fair enough I suppose.

We'll have to meet up so I can give it to you personally. I don't want everyone to know what I have, if you know what I mean.

[Because he's got some pretty good things, and he'd rather not face attempted muggings until he has a few reliable bodyguards in place. Also there's an elite guard running around, and those like Liege who might be listening in.]

Re: [Video]

[sparkless]

That means you'll have to come out of your hiding place and find me. [Sneer]

Think you can manage that?

[Oh, hey- blackmail material. Swindle gets on his nerves and he'll just threaten to post his inventory to the network. Nice.]

[Video]

[youhavebeenswindled]

For you, I think I can.

Hope you realize that this isn't going to be free~

[It never is with Swindle.]

Re: [Video]

[sparkless]

Just put it on my tab.

[Video]

[youhavebeenswindled]

Consider it done.

So where do you want to meet up later?

Re: [Video]

[sparkless]

How about at your place? I want to see this Liege guy's temple.

[youhavebeenswindled]

[He'd like to say that he'd rather not have business so close to home, but meh, this is Starscream and whatever.]

It's a date, I guess I'll see you whenever it suits you! I'll be here for the rest of the day.
