[[inevitable] Video | LOCKED from Tarn]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Before, Ambulon's shoddy red-white paint job mostly consisted of scratches, patches, and a few grooves. Now, however, most of his true colors are showing through on his chest and down his right arm, splattered with chipping white. Been too busy, too stressed, not caring anymore - whatever you wish to believe, as it's probably a likely combination of all three. Nonetheless, he does look stressed, if not irritated, annoyed, and... a little scared.]

I'm not sure who I go to for this specific request, but I am in need of a weapon. I don't suppose we have any of those lying around? [He's too on edge to even smirk at his own weak joke.] I don't even think we have any rules on firearm possession on this Cybertron, so I like to believe I don't have to trudge through paperwork in order to get one. [The hesitation is an unspoken "I'll steal something if I must."]

I figure, however, that those who possess the means of attaining a weapon would be those affiliated with the local law enforcement.

I'd really prefer going about this the more "legal" way, instead of resorting to the black market - or the equivalent here - or speaking to the Firstforged. Considering the fact there are psychopaths still running rampant, I doubt they'd offer much in way of protection. [The word burns with embarrassment.]

[a beat]

Also, I highly recommend avoiding Tarn. And for the police officers - if you do attempt to apprehend him, you'd best do so in an organized pack with all the force you've got. [He's not gonna admit you'd probably fail, however, because that's not good mojo.]

[video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[3, 2, 1]

Ask you for what?

[it takes him about a minute to process--]

No! [growl] Are you implying I should ask you to blow up Tarn? Whir--wha--no!

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[hot sexy copter lovin'? ]

[Whirl shrugs and has half turned to draw Ambulon a picture on the wall behind him: A wedge with eyeballs, on fire. It's a masterpiece.]

Why not? [You ruin all his fun.]

Re: [video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[not now honey]

What is that? What is... is that...

[He. Just. Frowns.]

Whirl. I don't think you realize the gravity of this situation. [paint randomly flakes off his helm and into one of his optics just. ignore it.]

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

It's a plan. [Clearly Ambulon is not a Wrecker and thus not familiar with the elegant and detailed Wrecker plans.]

What? Some extra freaky Decepticon thinks he's going to be all super badaft and scare everyone. [OH SO SCARY...not.]

Yeah, not a fan of bullies. [Other than himself.]

[video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I'm sure it is. [You got some SASS there]

I just don't want you to do anything stupid. I know that you are strong and relentless, but you might just be biting off more than you can ch--...

[Er. Um. Awkward.]

Well, you know what I mean.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Pfeh. You wouldn't know an awesome plan if it chased you up a fraggin' tree.

[Which now he wants to see that.]

When was the last time I did something stupid?

[He's due!]

[video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Didn't you recently open a public transmission on the link asking someone to come, I dunno, kill you or whatever?

You don't need to keep doing stupid things. You-- [his voice softens] You're seeing Rung, correct? He'll tell you, much more eloquently than I, the same thing. This is destructive borderline suicidal behavior.

And it's just--

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Well YEAH, but duh, I was in jail. [Asking to be murdered in jail is totally fine.]

He's...around. Somewhere.

[video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

On that: how did you get out? Did someone release you? For good behavior? [HAHAHA THAT'S A JOKE YOU SEE CAUSE WHIRL...]

Well, now that you're out of jail - and assuming you didn't break out - you should consider regularly checking up with him again. [nag nag nag]

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Hey, I did my time.

More'n my time. Seriously. All I did was try to blow up Prism. Someone else? Get a medal. Whirl? JAIL.

[Life she is unfair.]

Nah. I think Macarena felt bad about me nearly starving and all.

[video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Whirl, I... [MASSAGING TEMPLES SO HARD] Please just try and not blow something up. At least for a while.

In fact, why don't you help work alongside the others and I in fighting Tarn? We could use the manpower. Just not the manpower that goes off on his own half-cocked with delusions of grandeur and bloodlust.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[....dude that is not funny.]

[Have the FACE.]

This what I get for trying to be nice, huh?

[video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

--[and then he doesn't finish cause he gets the FACE]

Whirl, you know I didn't mean anything by that. It was a figure of speech. [huff]

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Yes. THE FACE, Ambulon.]

Yeah, I know. I just like messing with you.

[video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[WHYYYY]

I should know that by now. [sigh] It's hard to tell with you, sometimes, you know.

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[BECAUSE YOU LOVE IT.]

That's half the fun. [At least to Whirl.]
