[[Locked to Hollow Cons]]

[not_your_gun]

[Megatron...frowns, and peers close to the camera.]

As you may have noticed, testing has begun on the portal. There may be some...delay...as the kinks are worked out [IE while his universe is located] so I have devised a schedule for guarding it

[endless_avarice]

Ooo... I'd be happy to guard your big glowing thing...

[Pause] Ehr. Because...it is my duty...

[frown] ...and not, you know... because I was thinking about writing my name on it. Or pulling pieces off of it... or... break it....to annoy Blackout...

Now I feel bad.

[houndofmegatron]

[Blackout sees this, jet. He's going to be watching you.]

[endless_avarice]

[Creeper]

[houndofmegatron]

[Possessive creeper. That's his portal you're threatening.]

[not_your_gun]

Dirge.

If you, in any way, shape, or form, could be considered responsible for this portal malfunctioning at any time--

I will pull you apart, piece by piece, saving your spark for last.

[He growls...and then stops, suddenly. Is...everyone going crazy? Perhaps he did not get those dampeners out fast enough...]

Dirge. Did you receive a dampener?

[endless_avarice]

N-not my spark... [Cringes, folding his hands over his chest]

Yes. I wanted more than one...

...but then there wouldn't be enough for everyone else.

[not_your_gun]

Did. You. Activate? It?

[Because this is not sounding like Dirge.]

[endless_avarice]

Yes. I got mine early- Glit was worried the radiation would effect the spark.

I'm in working order. [Except for the random pain that came and went but... it was probably just his spark settling in]

[not_your_gun]

You're behaving stranger than you usually do, you realize.

[endless_avarice]

I know...I.

It's my spark.

I think it's working.

[not_your_gun]

Ohh...

[He smirks.]

Perhaps I should inspect, it, then.

[endless_avarice]

[his faceplates flush pink]

Ah... Yesss, yes I want-

Ergh, but-

Nnnn.... [Ow, now that REALLY hurts....and makes him dizzy]

[not_your_gun]

What is it, Dirge?

You don't want what I'm offering to you?

[Okay, he's probably enjoying this more than a little.]

[endless_avarice]

Ghhrkkk.... V-very....badly... [Whine]

[But that whole trust thing that Blackout had spoken to him about... and ugh- his head hurts]

Not supposed to... It's private. [Twitches, his claws making little graspy motions]

[not_your_gun]

Is it?

But I'm Megatron.

Who can you trust with something as important as a spark, if not me?

[endless_avarice]

I'm...not sure. I have your trust, but I never gave you mine.

And I really wish I didn't want to argue with you about it. [glancing downward angrily at his chest]

Is this balance? I thought it would be....different.
