Starscream had promised to meet Dirge at one of the bars around zone 7, and as the teal clone approached it, he felt something twist inside his tanks. The last time he had seen his creator he had been slowly dying on a slab in his apartment.

...And then Megatron had crept up behind him and put his fist through Dirge's spark chamber.

Suffice to say, Dirge had many lingering feelings of anger and betrayal. He slid into a booth and waited, hunched over the menu like a nervous predator.

Slipstream had offered to meet her fellow clones, as Starscream, before she realized the mask could not be switched on and off. So, now, rather than duck out of a room, like some superhero with a secret identity, to return with another appearance, she had to make excuses for why only she or Starscream could appear

Dirge looked up at Starscream's approach, signaled by the stirring of the other patrons when he practically danced his way across the room. The clone watched his creator's hips, wondering if they'd always had that much sway.

"Yes. And you're looking very....alive," he replied, claws digging into the table a bit. They had the same body, but he tended to use his in a more threatening manner instead of attention getting. It made sense- Starscream's greed was nothing if not aggressive.

"I'd take your seat too if I could," the clone remarked, staring hard at the menu now. Picking things was difficult. He just wanted to order everything. It would be so much easier if these places just had one thing on the menu- then it would be feasible to ask for it all.

"It's like I said: got my old body back," Slipstream told him. She glanced at the menu on the table. What was Starscream's favorite drink, again? She'd gotten uncomfortably over-charged during that masquerade party, sticking to what she thought Starscream would order.

"You're, understandably, still upset about that whole plot to steal your spark." Slipstream knew she had to be careful here. She had been there when Starscream died, though not in the room at the same time as Dirge. She hadn't wanted to get too close, knowing Starscream was likely to attempt to take another AllSpark fragment. So, she didn't really know what Starscream had said to Dirge, if anything.

"Let me make things up to you?"
