*Snowcat is curled up into a tight ball in the corner. The temporary insanity has yet to work its way out of his circuitry, even after leaving the vicinity of Pious Augustus. Apparently robots are affected for a longer period

*hearing quiet noises as she walks past, carefully pokes her head through the door and after a moment's puzzled looking sees him* *optics go wide* 'Cat? What the heck happened?

[icemasta]

*can just barely hear her, and believes himself to be hallucinating. Which he is, but not like he thinks he is* Go 'way. Thought you wouldn't go like that, Boots. You liked everyone. *keeps his head on his knees*

[apprentice_lurk]

*What in the world's going on this time?*

I'm not going anybloodywhere until I find out what's up. *comes over to kneel beside him* C'mon 'Cat, what d'y'mean 'did'? I still like everyone, nothing different there.

[icemasta]

*puts hands to his audials and curls up tighter* Liked too much. You didn't see 'em coming.

[apprentice_lurk]

*starting to get really, really unerved over here, as well as seriously worried* See who coming? No-one's coming, as far as I know or want to guess at or - whatever. *takes his arms and shakes him sharply* *almost pleading* 'Cat, you're freaking me out now...

[icemasta]

*lifts his head timidly. He sees Dreadboots as a very very faint blue patch, standing near the shards of her own corpse* Didn't see the Autobots coming. They broke the Nexus, broke the field. *he shakes her off* Comin' for me next. I'm the only one left.

[apprentice_lurk]

*blinkblinks* 'Cat, you can't break the field. It doesn't come down unless you tell it to, and the Autobots wouldn't do that anyway. Truce, remember?

*determinedly puts a hand back on his shoulder and leans in, looking into his face* ...Have you been feargassed or something?

[icemasta]

*Snowcat shakes where he's touched. Any minute now, the Autobots will arrive for him* I like your talking, Boots. I'm delusional. Don't care. You're talking. But they did it, somehow. Killed you.

[apprentice_lurk]

Oh, for - what do I have to do to prove I'm not dead, kill myself? *optics wide and anxious, pats his mask with her free hand* I'm not dead, see? I'm right here! I'm right here and you're scaring me now, wake up!

[icemasta]

*Dreadboots is becoming a little more substantial now, but her touch is like that of the wind, barely noticeble. Snowcat picks up a piece of nothing and holds it up next to her ghost* That's all they left.

[apprentice_lurk]

All they left of what? There's nothing there! *waves her hand between his fingers* 'Cat, wake up!

*taps at him harder, verging on a slap* *panicky* Snowcat!

[icemasta]

*Of course a ghost can go through things. Snowcat drops the nothingness* Don't want to wake up. Rather not die in my sleep. Want to hurt them too.

[apprentice_lurk]

There's no-one to hurt-! For Primussake Snowcat, do I need to find an antivirus or something before you'll listen to me? There's no-one else here, the Autobots didn't attack, you've been Nexused but good and I'm not bloody dead!

[icemasta]

*gestures around him* Look. They're all dead. Half-eaten, destroyed. All the Decepticons. *waves his hand at her, knocking her over* Go right through you. You're a ghost.

[apprentice_lurk]

There's nobody-!

*falls over sideways and catches herself on one arm* Ow! *gives up on subtlety and shoves him back* 'Cat! I'm not a ghost, nobody's dead, you're giving me the heebie-jeebies and if you try waving your arm through me again I'll kick you!

[icemasta]

*puts his head back on his knees* Why you talking to me? You should be at the Allspark. You're a good 'con.
