[Video] From the Brave Police Hoosegow

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Those from Earth might be familiar with the old movie cliche of the prisoner rattling his cup back and forth over the bars of his cell.  Whirl somehow also knows this cliche.  And is doing it.]

[Except he's doing it with his face. ]

Nnnnnnngh. So fraggin' bored!!

Someone come kill me or something.

Comments

[megaton]

So you do want to die.

That sounds...anticlimactic.

[He snorts.]

Especially because I expected better from you. Do you just let life throw you from one event to the next?

[whirlybird_of_prey]

You don't know me.

[Don't make him get all chickenhead daytime tv talk show on you.]

You know what's fraggin' funny? [Of course Megatron doesn't. Not really a mech known throughout the galaxy for his sense of humor. So Whirl will just go on and spill it.]

You keep forgetting that I know what happens and you don't. SO, you know, act all judgy and stuff, but let me tell you this: I outlive you.

[megaton]

Does anyone?

[The growl is still present.]

From what I've heard, I vanish. So unless you can produce a body, the very real possibility of my return remains.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

You tryin' to get all philosophical? Because I have to tell you, I have a therapist..

[So there. Yes. Someone does understand him. Can Megatron say as much? Huh? Huh? CAN HE?]

Whatever. All I'm saying is stuff goes on without you and nobody misses you and life is awesome.

[So there.]

[megaton]

...

[Only Whirl could make 'I have a therapist' sound threatening.]

How nice to know that one must be paid to listen to you speak.

I could do it for free, you know.

[Or he could solve the whole speaking thing, forever.]

...

[However, you've got him, there. He can't really refute what you're saying, since he doesn't know.]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Yeah? Well it's better than what you got. You got anyone whose job it is to listen to you and not fraggin' judge you?

[Suckups totally don't count.]

Yeah, because I'm sure you got nothing better to do than ancient grudges. Seriously.

[megaton]

I have an entire army.

[They have to listen to him. Judging, though...that's harder to tell.]

Nothing says I cannot take a break from these things that are better to do.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Yeah? They must be like invisible or something. Or really small.

Oh? Didn't know you cared. [If he had a face he'd be making kissy faces.]

[megaton]

Just because you cannot see something doesn't mean that it does not exist.

[He laughs.]

Oh, I do care. That is a mistake you should not make. [Bitterness--it lasts forever!]

But talk is only useful for so long. If I find time in my busy schedule, I will make sure to visit you.

Be ready.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Ooooh philosophy. Go on and believe in your invisible army or whatever.

[Don't tell Whirl what he should or shouldn't do: dangerous!]

Oh joy. I'll make sure to pencil in the reminiscing time. Gonna call it 'Bitchslap Part Two' for old time's sake.
