[For a change, Starscream is sitting at his desk in his robot form. He's looking pretty run down, and every so often, clicking deftly at the keys, he stops to glare at the comm. He knows it's on. He's just not talking.

type type type and then suddenly he reaches and casually shoves the computer crashing into the ground next to his desk with a horrendous sound, snatches up the comm with blazing red optics and snarls]

I would appreciate it if you stopped making my job impossible. You. Cretins.

[and then he cuts the connection.]

You threatening me, 'con?

[ex_backstab594]

....Yes.

That's exactly what I'm doing. [SERIOUSLY.] I'm going to kill you in an agonizing fashion, as slowly as I know how, and I'll relish every moment of it before I drop your twitching corpse at my feet. I am threatening you.

[chinderella]

[ YOU TOTALLY DON'T SCARE HIM also you can't see him check to see if his weapons are within reach ]

That's it. I'm done letting you 'cons run about doing what you want. You're obviously still dangerous. Once a 'con, always a 'con.

[ex_backstab594]

[abruptly reneging on that threat.] Don't be a fool. You can't kill me the way you are, you'd only injure yourself.

[And then Skyfire would be angry all over again.]

[chinderella]

I'll do what it takes.

[ex_backstab594]

[a beat.]

....That won't be necessary, Sentinel. I'm certain we can find some grounds for coexistence. Have you been introduced to "carbonation" yet?

[chinderella]

That sounds like some sort of trap. What're you trying to pull here?

[ex_backstab594]

You have good instincts, Prime.

[chinderella]

You won't catch me having a stasis nap, 'Con.

[ex_backstab594]

...Honestly. What would it take for some semblance of.

Ah.

...truce, between us?

[chinderella]

There has to be a catch to this.

[ex_backstab594]

..only that i would rather not trouble skyfire. [this mumbled quietly]

[chinderella]

Hold on a klik - you actually listen to that guy? [ HE HAD ASSUMED SKYFIRE WAS TALKING OUT OF HIS AFT, ngl ]

[ex_backstab594]

I--well. He--[his own selfish fierce independence is doing battle with his desire to keep stable assets this is awful] ...Listen to me, Sentinel. My choices are my own.

[chinderella]

[ He really, intensely struggles with this and then decides that maybe it wasn't skyfire - maybe the 'con's just reluctant to mess with Sentinel and doesn't want to admit it.

WELL. Sentinel is going to keep a close optic on the Decepticon. (and he's totally NOT doing this because he doesn't want to end his aft on the streets) ]

Fine. You keep to this "truce", and I won't have a problem with you, Starscream.

[ex_backstab594]

Commander Starscream. [titles are titles are titles]

[chinderella]

And I'm Sentinel Prime.

[ex_backstab594]

Well, if you insist.

Lord Starscream, then.

[chinderella]

HAH. If you're "Lord" Starscream, then I'm Sentinel Magnus.

[ex_backstab594]

This isn't a joke, you insolent wretch!
