[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.]

[ Dead. Silence. For like a minute. And then he finally comes back with only bewilderment. ]

Did you really have to say that?
enigmaestro: (Taser cellphone.)

Probably.

Motherfucker! Did somebody die, or did you discover the mystery to the universe?

[His voice drops, the previous levity evaporated:] Don't question my actions, Mitchell. Don't engage my motivation here, now.
viced: (Leave a message.)

Fine, fine.

[A beat.]

Good.

[Another beat...]

Thank you.
viced: (Curiously)

Yeah. You're welcome. [ Said so awkwardly, before he's totally just going to leave that hanging. ]
enigmaestro: (Dilemma.)

So who's this guy?

He took over Romero's job.

Despite what it looks like on the network, he speaks pretty well when it comes to the media, if you caught some of it.

He seems... Insecure about something.
viced: (Sign it)

[personal profile] viced 2012-08-15 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't everyone?

Although he does get pretty excited if I tell him he did good work.
enigmaestro: (Tangent.)

[personal profile] enigmaestro 2012-08-15 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Did he wag his tail?

Or something else?
viced: (Who would want to kill me)

[personal profile] viced 2012-08-15 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
That's the least apt metaphor I've heard in a while. He's not a fucking puppy! He doesn't even sound remotely like one.
enigmaestro: (Frustration.)

[personal profile] enigmaestro 2012-08-15 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
I said or something else.

[IT'S A DICK JOKE, MITCHELL

EDDIE HEARD YOU LIKE DICKS
]
viced: (words to live by)

[personal profile] viced 2012-08-15 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't going to even acknowledge the something else! There's no wagging! Anywhere.

[ GOD, EDDIE. WAY TO BE A DICK ABOUT IT ]
enigmaestro: (A conundrum!)

[personal profile] enigmaestro 2012-08-15 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Falsehood.

-- Oh. How very peculiar indeed.

[obvious fake falsehood.]
viced: (fucking winston?)

[personal profile] viced 2012-08-15 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Jesus Christ, Edward. What are you getting at?
enigmaestro: (Business.)

[personal profile] enigmaestro 2012-08-15 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
You know I detest to spell something out, Mitchell, but the man brings new meaning to the position of sycophant.
viced: (God really??)

[personal profile] viced 2012-08-15 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
He, ah, has his moments, yeah. I noticed it, but he's got a lot going on besides that. I don't know what the fuck happened, but I think he does it because he think I'll fuck him up if I don't like his answers.

[ A beat ]

At least he works his ass off too.
enigmaestro: (Ciao.)

[personal profile] enigmaestro 2012-08-15 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
What's his name again?

[YES IT'S ON THE COMMUNICATOR, HE CAN'T BE BOTHERED MITCHELL OKAY]

[personal profile] viced 2012-08-15 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
It's Starscream.
enigmaestro: (Reach.)

[personal profile] enigmaestro 2012-08-15 05:49 am (UTC)(link)










You hired a man who willingly calls himself Starscream.
enigmaestro: (Questioning.)

2/2

[personal profile] enigmaestro 2012-08-15 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
So which galactic pornography set did you hire him off of?
viced: (Let me talk to my deputy mayor)

[personal profile] viced 2012-08-15 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't--

That's his name! Mine is a fucking number, remember?
enigmaestro: (Business.)

[personal profile] enigmaestro 2012-08-15 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
You assume I didn't think something similar of you, at first.
