[Video] DJD PSA: The Royal “We”

[songofmypeople]

 [The video starts with a neck up image of a guy that has DECEPTICON for a FACE. Well, that's never a good sign. And depending on Tarn's naughty list, things might just get a little worse (for you). But hey! At least he's playing some classy music in the background.] 

I'd like to interrupt everyone getting along so well with one another to bring you this message:  This is the DJD.  

For those of you who don't know our work, I suggest you ask someone more familiar with the role we play. Someone like the medic Ambulon. [The name positively rolls off his tongue.] I believe you can find him in 'Nexus Prime's' quadrant. 

[Kids, this is what happens when you don't lock your link posts; someone's liable to spam Ctrl + F. Sometimes those people have lists. Sometimes they're predators.] 

Furthermore, if any of you would like to report a Decepticon that has transgressed, my door is always open and any reports will be investigated. You may contact me at this frequency. 

[Deadlock, Overlord, you'll notice he hasn't mentioned your names. Feel free to feel safe.] 

And, Pharma, I would like a word.

To the rest of you, I look forward to your cooperation. Some of you will be hearing from me shortly.  

[The music stops. There's a moment of silence where it's just Tarn's mask and his glowing eyes staring at the camera. Two seconds later and then the video cuts.]

... Is your face a Decepticon insignia?

[Perma-Video]

[songofmypeople]

Funny, you don't look blind.

[video]

[windyellow]

DJD?

And what do you mean by transgressed anyway?

[Dustin would also ask what's a 'Decepticon' but he's not that stupid.]

[perma-video]

[songofmypeople]

Decepticon Justice Division.

[And omg it's his very first contact with humanity. D'aww you're so adorably hideous.]

We're responsible for taking care of those who, through their action or inaction frustrate the realisation of goals they really should have been holding closer spark.

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF don't say his name like that it scares his spark!]

You...

[give him a minute to collect himself]

Just what we needed - more psychopaths. Whatever your plans, you might as well scrap them. This is a new Cybertron, and your kind are a dying breed.

[audio/lock]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Whirl's feelings are hurt, Ambulon.]

What do you mean, psychopaths are a dying breed? [He's in perfect health! ...kind of. ]

You sound scared. You must be Ambulon.

[songofmypeople]

You should come and say that to my face.

And as much as you might try to forget, we were once something of a similar breed. But don't worry, I fully intend to help remind you of exactly where it was you went astray.

[audio] - locked

[invisiblepinkboat]

... Will you be all right?

And now that he's here, is there any good way to stop him if necessary?

[Important things, both of them, Elita's voice clipped but not audibly worried. Yet. Not that she'd show if she were.]

Video

[winged_knight]

[Well, Wing is pretty sure already he's not going to like this new addition, but he supposes he should reserve judgement for now. Though he has a feeling tonight's dinner conversation with Drift will be pretty interesting.]

Define..."transgressed."

[perma-video]

[songofmypeople]

I rather think the word speaks for itself, don't you?

[He knows you, Wing. You came up often enough while searching the link for other potential victims. Actually, it was mostly one in particular.]

VIDEO;

[inferiordude]

Yeah, I heard, like. Half of that, dude? Yer face is kinda distracting 'cuz like whoa.

[perma-video]

[songofmypeople]

Not terribly modest of me, but I like to think of it as one of my better features.

video;

[sciencetank]

What on Cybertron is the matter with your faceplates?

[perma-video]

[songofmypeople]

Autobots. [tsk] I see politness remains a foreign concept. What a shame.

[megaton]

Decepticons that have transgressed.

Now there is a novel concept.

[What is the opposite of Deception? Being Blatant? If that is the case, Misfire is probably the single most transgressy Decepticon he's currently met.]

PRIVATE;

[forcowardice]

Um.

Lord Megatron?

On the inside he's squealing in glee. Kinda sounds like slowly compressing a petrorabit under a tank

[songofmypeople]

[Be cool, Tarn, be cool. Omg don't cry. Pull yourself together. Omg Megatron is talking to you. Don't cry! Whatever you do, DON'T CRY. But omg you have ALL his books. First edition. Omg. Omg. Breath, Tarn, breath. But omg. It's a baby Megatron. Omg. You're going to be fine. BUT LOOK HOW CUTE HE IS. No. Focus. Be cool. You can do this. Don't ask him to sign your body, that'd be weird.]

An unfortunate reality we seek to minimize, Megatron.

[Don't worry boss! He's got you covered! Misfire is TOTALLY on the list and they are gonna murder him SO GOOD in YOUR NAME.]

[Not here]

[misfier]

[ But somewhere, Misfire is hiding in the junk heap, weeping openly over this transmission. We're all gonna die in horrible, creative ways. ]

But he'll be here. Forever. In your nightmares.

[songofmypeople]

[The MOST creative of ways! Arts-and-crafts creative! Excessive-use-of-glitter creative! Peeling-off-all-your-skin-and-feeding-it-to-you creative!]

[treacherous_widow]

Whoa. You are a whole lot of ugly.

Dude... are you a ... lady??????

[songofmypeople]

And I have no idea what YOU might be.

[Video]

[copperkitty]

Uh....

[Wow... you're really scary. Like "If I ever saw you in person I'd keel over in terror" kind of scary. How do you pack so much scary in each word? Cheetor was going to say something, but now he really really doesn't want to.

He completely regrets even making a sound.]

[PermaVideo]

[songofmypeople]

Yes?

[Video]

[ibakedasouffle]

Well aren't you a pretty one? And so charming.

[Oswin has her chin propped on her hand, like usual, curled up in her deskchair. Her smile hasn't faltered at all, her usual chipper attitude about her.]

Do we get a name to go with all that air of authority you're trying to suffocate us with, hm?

[Perma-Video]

[songofmypeople]

[Females are so much easier to accept when they aren't his size and made of metal.]

I do try. But believe me, human, if I were planning to suffocate you, I'd employ more direct means.

Tarn of the DJD. [He inclines his head] Humble servant of his duty.

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

[You're really rubbing him the wrong way, and not just because of that giant (purple) Decepticon insignia you have for a face, Tarn. Mostly, but not only.]

If that doesn't scream "I'm a murderous freak" I don't know what would.

[Not that he's technically got anything against you Decepticreeps taking care of your own, but he's not stupid and while traitors of any kind just has him twitchy and suspicious (if not outright anrgy), taking troops away from Decepticons is still a good idea. So.

(He did note Ambulon's implication there, though. But there's not that many medics around... Ugh.]

And what's with the slaggin' music?

[Scowling, Cliffjumper crosses his arms. For some reason that almost rubs him the wrong way as much as that mask because music... that's Soundwave's thing. Not this... creep.]

[Perma-Video]

[songofmypeople]

[He tends to rub against the grain, that's just how he rolls, boyo.]

[Tsk] The rudeness gives you away before the badge does, Autobot.

[Then he chuckles. The sound is downright pleasant.]

Would you like me to play you something else?

[A different song filters through the video softly.]

Hi Darth Vader, meet Luke Skywalker,

[raceme]

You made quite the impression. I'd like to interrupt everyone questioning your taste when it comes to faceplates to inform you that this is the Police Force and WE are the ones _{who take of law related things} and possible problems.

[And oh boy, don't you look like a big problem.]

COME TO DADDY

[songofmypeople]

A fellow upholder of justice then. I admire how you've taken the law into your own hands, Officer.

[Is he being an asshole here? WHO KNOWS? He's just so polite about it, HOW CAN YOU EVEN TELL?]

[Action/Video] [Transmitting from jail]

[organ_pharming]

[In jail there are only four things to do. Eat, recharge, worry, and watch the network. Pharma had mostly been concentrating on the worrying and very little of the others.

But he's watching the network today, and what he finds makes the energon drain from his faceplates.]

It....it can't be.

[Of course. Why not? Everything else horrible had already happened. Tarn was just the final chord in the awful cacophony of his life falling apart.

When he finally turns the camera on to reply, his expression is one of utter defeat.]

....I am not currently available.

[Perma-Video]

[songofmypeople]

Why Pharma, you look to be incarcerated. Stumble into a bit of trouble with your Autobot peers?

[Are those bars/an energy wall behind you? You wouldn't happen to be anywhere near that so called 'police station' he's being informed about, now would you?]

Nevertheless, I'm sure we can work to clear up your no doubt busy schedule.

Now, from the OPPOSITE END OF THE SPECTRUM [video]

[rednotbluethx]

[IF THE COMMENT ACTUALLY POSTS THIS TIME]

Not diggin' the music, but 'eeey. Yer face is cool. Reminds me of someone.

But... DJD? Transgress-sores? [tiiiilts head]

[Perma-video]

[songofmypeople]

I'm flattered, truly.

Ever heard of the Decepticons? [He's being patronizing, but he can't see the faction symbol either. Maybe if you stood on tip-toe, kid?]
