[[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

Comments

[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.

[not_your_gun]

Well.

You are less grabby.

Whose spark did you take?

[endless_avarice]

A tyran autobot's. Ironhide.

[He certainly still had the urge to be quite grabby- but something was constantly making him feel bad for it.]

[not_your_gun]

...you couldn't have taken a spark that hated me a little less, could you?

[Still, he laughs.]

I'm not surprised you're having trouble. That is an old, stubborn, fool of a spark.

[endless_avarice]

[Snort] I don't hate you. And the spark is subservient to me.

[Or it should be.]

No kidding... But I needed something like that. Anything weaker would be overpowered by my fragment.

And it feels so good to finally have one... [Soft purr] Well, when its not yelling at me, that is.

[not_your_gun]

You did want one that was strong.

[Oh, it amuses him.]

And you got it all on your own--it is a pleasurable feeling, isn't it? Achieving worth?

I even kept up on my end of the bargain...you have jets.

[endless_avarice]

[It was strong alright... strong enough to have him on his knees earlier when he was talking with Skywarp.]

Most pleasurable! The feeling of triumph after waiting so long... Delicious.

[His wings flutter] Oh yes! I have a trine! I've already spoken with them about it. Isn't it wonderful?

[not_your_gun]

[That is impressive.]

...you.

Have a Trine?

[endless_avarice]

Yesss. I found the two new jets you sent me and made them join my trine. [Proud]

Now I have to figure out this trine bond business.

But its just so nice having all these other jets around. [Pleased sigh] We can do all the things my brothers and sister used to do before I came here...

[not_your_gun]

...what are you going to do with the third jet, then?

...

[N...no. He is not going to ask.
Hm.
Frag Skywarp. Now he's curious.]

Did that include 'flocking?'

[endless_avarice]

Third jet?

Flocking... I don't recognize that word. What does it mean?

[not_your_gun]

The other Skywarp.

[He pauses, knowing where Dirge's head will go.]

The other other Skywarp.

I do not know, but the first other Skywarp mentioned it. Apparently it is a 'jet' thing.

[endless_avarice]

Ehr....just how many Skywarps are there now? You're not talking about my brother, are you? [He had a tendency to get frightened and hide alot so it was possible Dirge missed him.]

A jet thing that I don't know about? [Grumble] Maybe I do, and the terminology is just different...

[not_your_gun]

Three that live here. One that does not, if your brother is still out in the city. You could bring him, if you got the chance...

But there are likely still 'things' you do not know about, Dirge. I'm certain you'll gather the knowledge to you, given enough time.

[He smirked. Dirge always collected things--even trivia.]

[endless_avarice]

I've only met two. [Frown] And my brother won't come anywhere near me.

That's true. [Once upon a time he didn't even know about trines] And I will. Soundwave told me that knowledge is a powerful tool.

[not_your_gun]

Why not?

[He laughs.]
Soundwave knows everything, and he is quite powerful, yes. It can even be a weapon, in the right circumstances...

...but if you do find out what 'flocking' is, let me know.
