WHO: Starscream, [OPEN] To all! He's taking visitors.
WHAT: Starscream faces down the idea of being one of the first Decepticons to suffer a slow death, rather than a quick blaze of glory. He's waiting his last few days.
WHERE: Starscream's apartment.
WHEN: All day today and tomorrow.
WARNINGS/NOTES:
Soundtrack start. (
I wouldn't want to live like this forever. But change myself? Never, never!
The very thought sends shivers down my spine. I'm sure everything, everything will be fine... )
She does find it distressing that any of them may fade in this manner. She'd seen it before, when she'd found Starscream's gray shell on the street in Detroit. That had been a rather short time before she found herself in Axiom Nexus. Something around six lunar cycles have passed - depending on the calendar in use - but it isn't like she's forgot! She hadn't cared then, either, except, maybe it had distressed her that the Cyber-ninjas hadn't faced Starscream in combat, but just...accidentally caused him to offline. It- this isn't the way a Decepticon is supposed to go!
The whole thing does bother ( ... )

She pouts momentarily, wondering if Starscream actually seems pleased about something, while dying.
"You probably don't want me here, any longer," Slipstream says, the same attempt at dismissive tone. She doesn't know that, but she feels the need to avoid watching Starscream fade entirely, if at all possible.

Which in a way shows that at the very least she's making an effort for him.
Meaningful, coming from her, but he's not the type to search out sentimentality on anyone's part. It just seems much more pronounced when they come to bid him off, one by one.
They could have just let him rust.
