[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.]

[HAVE A FACE.]

Don't look at me like that. He's the unstable one, look at him.

Provoke him one more time and so help me...

Just stay away if you haven't got something good or useful to say.

[chinderella]

Me provoke him?

Did you delete the bit where he could have killed us from your memory banks? Someone has to keep their optics on him.

[notyourchauffeur]

I am, if you're so worried. And quite honestly, you're not exactly in my good graces either. You need to calm down and find something else to do besides hassle other mechs.

I mean it, unless you want to have to survive on your own.

[chinderella]

You can't seriously be suggesting you'll kick me out for defending myself against a Decepticon.

[notyourchauffeur]

You were both sassing each other. You need to dial down your aggression. I'll keep Starscream in check, but I have absolutely no attachment to you so far.

Do bear that in mind, you're going to have to make nice if you want to stay. Vector is a busy mech, and I'd hate to get him involved here. All I want here is some damn peace and quiet so I can finish earning back my credentials for this planet.

So yes, I am saying I'll kick you out. Try me one more time, Sentinel. I dare you.

[Ugh ugh ugh. He's visibly spluttering here, barely keeping himself from snapping.

How did he get himself into a position where a neutral was telling him what to do? He really doesn't want to be thrown out, not when he's all... ORGANIC. Vulnerable. He doesn't feel safe like that, not when Starscream has a semblance of his normal form.

And on top of that, that the neutral seemed to like Starscream better, which was absurd unless -- ]

Are you and...? [ And he shuts up because he really doesn't want to know the answer to that.

He changes tracks. ] He just threatened to kill me over a joke, and you're taking his side? I'm not gonna go rushing to tug those wings of his, but come on.

[notyourchauffeur]

I'm not taking anyone's side. And I'm not going to put up with this he-said-she-said slag.

Just behave, or you're out. As I said, I'll keep an eye on him, but you're seriously on my last relay.

[chinderella]

What if I don't trust you to keep an eye on him?

[notyourchauffeur]

Deal with it.
