3:30 in the morning is not the time to shout; VOICE

[notsoloyal]

  --AARRRRG!

[The communicator seems to have just turned on, mid startled monotonic scream. It sounds as if it is not quite in the same room, but Shockwave is being loud enough for everything to be heard.]

What is--

Sharkticons!

Why are there miniature Sharkticons in the bathroom?!

-Would you stop trying to bite off my hand! Hnnn.

[HEY GUESS WHAT Soundwave sleeps in a sound proof room. He doesn't hear this and sleeps soundly.]

[ACTION]

[notsoloyal]

[Well aren't you lucky. What. You want me to break down your door shooting at a sharkticon or something.]

[ACTION]

[allshock_notalk]

[Well that'll effectively wake me up anyway, bro.]

[ACTION]

[notsoloyal]

[WELL HERE YOU GO THEN! Just about to shoot one of the Sharkticons, when he gets bit on the foot by another. Ends up missing and shooting your door down instead.]

... Hn.

[Blinks. Opps.]

[PRIMUS. THE SHARKTICONS ARE TRYING TO BITE AGAIN. KICKING ONE ACROSS THE ROOM.]

What is going on?

voice | ENCRYPTED; purple is cybertronian

[notsoloyal]

Sharkticons! Minature Sharkticons trying- hnnn, trying to bite me. Frag. Starscream is not helping himself with this. Oh we are going to talk about this. He thinks he can-

[There's the faint sound of metal dropping on the ground.]

--One of my housemates thought it would be amusing to construct miniature Sharkticons and put them in the bathroom, likely to annoy me. They are currently attacking me.

[chronosyoudidnt]

What exactly are 'Sharkticons'?

voice | ENCRYPTED

[notsoloyal]

Creatures that travel in swarms, fully capable of devouring a full sized Cybertronian in under a minute. These miniature ones he has constructed do not appear to be as dangerous, however-

[The sound of something like a door being broken down.]

-However, their bites still do hurt.

voice; purple is cybertronian

[notsoloyal]

--No. My housemate is attempting to torment me.

...

I am fine.

voice; yeah shocky's still just a bit irritated so he has to keep reminding himself to speak english

[notsoloyal]

My apologies - it was not important.

I was attacked by a bunch of miniature sharkticons when I attempted to go to the bathroom.

[Action] you do this when I'm sleeping T_T

[femmescream]

[Does NOT sleep in a soundproof room and is thus wakened.

Stomps across the base wearing underwear and a tank top.]

SHOCKWAVE WHAT THE SLAG.

[Action] i always do these things when people are sleeping.

[notsoloyal]

[Is backing up from a sharkticon that just lunged for his foot when he spots Slipstream. Still too focused on the sharkticons to speak English, so you get Cybertronian.]

Hnn.

Are you aware that we currently have a small infestation of miniature sharkticons in the bathroom? --Ones that might I add, keep trying to bite me.

[Action] That's because you are evil.

[femmescream]

[Glares at him, then picks up the Sharkticon trying to bite his foot. It's actually rather adorable in a pointy way.]

So kick them out of the bathroom, do your thing, and go back to bed so the rest of us can SLEEP! Slag, throw them off the balcony or something if it's that much of a problem.

[Pets it absently. Slippy can has pet?]

[Action] awww you noticed.

[notsoloyal]

[Glares back.]

What do you think I was trying to do. I cannot grab hold of any of them, they seem to have decided that I am a threat, and it would not be advisable for me to just start shooting them.

[action] // red is Cybertronian

[loltraitorlol]

[wide awake]

[has not been sleeping]

[In fact, Starscream is dressed rather formally - he's wearing something like Royal Air Force dress uniform, but in burgundy. How he got RaF dress uniform in burgundy is anyone's guess. It's complete with little pins that Shockwave will recognize as Decepticon rank symbols]

[Shockwave will also probably notice that Starscream's left arm is heavily bandaged, and that the blood has soaked through a little bit. He's trying to hide it under a sleeve and his navy blue gloves, but... it's Shockwave. He'll probably notice.]

... [says not a word]

[just]

[stands there]

[Action] purple is cybertronian

[notsoloyal]

[Just kind of staring at.]

What are you-- Nevermind.

Sharkticons, Starscream?! You created a miniature infestation of sharkticons. They keep attempting to bite off my hand! -Which might I add, would not be as amusing as you think. Just what are you attempting to do? I do not appreciate this! ... Sharkticons. Hn. This is not the same as that event back on Cybertron - which is really the only reason I can think of why you would make these things. I do not scare, Starscream.

Additionally, do you thi--

[He pauses, finally noticing the blood.]

...

Why are you bleeding? What else did you do?!

[Action] red is cybertronian

[loltraitorlol]

I am not attempting to frighten you, Shockwave.

[said calmly and evenly in his rather clipped Crystal City dialect]

I am making a statement. I am the leader of the Decepticons, and I demand respect. You have never been particularly respectful or tolerant - while Soundwave oft disapproves of my methods, he at least acknowledges my status as Commander.

Consider this a warning. You will respect my authority.

[looks at his hand]

Hn. It was an accident. While... creating those things. One I shall not repeat.

[ACTION]

[notsoloyal]

Respect? This is about respect?

[Narrows eyes.]

You have my memories, I am being incredibly tolerant with you. But this is not how you are going to get respect, Commander. [Yeah. The way he says that, is very VERY similar to the way he said it before he killed you that last time.]

[Eyes his hand. Has x-ray vision, don't go lying about the wound now, can always just check.]

Let me see.
