Re: [ACTION]

[onlytwoexpressions]

...You're truly worried about our world, aren't you.

This...all of this? This isn't just an act...or fear of power slipping through your grasp.

...You're honestly trying to set a good precedent, aren't you. To be a good leader.

[Try to ignore the incredulous tone, Starscream.]

Re: [ACTION]

[iseedeadbees]

[He's not ignoring it!!!!!!]

It already has slipped through my grasp! As long as I'm here I'm powerless! Do you think I haven't realized that yet?

Everyone just assumes that I want to be in power for the sake of being in power, but that's not the case. I want Cybertron to prosper, I want our people to have a home again. This isn't about me, Ultra Magnus. this is about making Cybertron the way we always wanted it to be, the way the people deserve for it to be.

[I mean it's possible that this is at least 75% bullshit, but gosh he just sounds so sincere goodness!!]

[Little does Starscream know, Magnus records all of his questioning sessions. He'll be editing this clip down later for the Starscream sound bite of 'This isn't about me' and save that for posterity.]

[Until then, however.]

Then you have my apologies for not properly trusting you at first.

Re: [ACTION]

[iseedeadbees]

[Starscream's just going to STARE at Magnus because hoo buddy he doesn't believe that for a hot second

no really he's just staring]

Re: [ACTION]

[onlytwoexpressions]

...What?

Ah, I know. That last statement rolls off the vocalizer wrong, doesn't it.

[Ahem.]

I apologize for not properly giving you my trust before now.

There, is that better?

Re: [ACTION]

[iseedeadbees]

[What even]

It sounded fine. I'm just not sure how much I believe it.

[Because he's STARSCREAM and thus paranoid about everything.]

Re: [ACTION]

[onlytwoexpressions]

Are you honestly suggesting I'm capable of lying?

Re: [ACTION]

[iseedeadbees]

I think you're capable of anything you put your mind to.

Re: [ACTION]

[onlytwoexpressions]

Then what would it take for you to trust me?

Re: [ACTION]

[iseedeadbees]

Now that, I'm not really sure of. Don't take it too personally, Ultra Magnus. I've never trusted anyone in my life. That's why I'm still alive.

Re: [ACTION]

[onlytwoexpressions]

Can you really call that living, though?

Re: [ACTION]

[iseedeadbees]

What would you call it?

Re: [ACTION]

[onlytwoexpressions]

Hiding.

Re: [ACTION]

[iseedeadbees]

[Starscream HUFFS a mighty, indignant huff.]

Hiding!? Hiding from what?

Re: [ACTION]

[onlytwoexpressions]

From the fact that you wouldn't know what to do with yourself if you found you trusted someone.

Re: [ACTION]

[iseedeadbees]

That doesn't even make sense.

[but it's completely true lbr]

Re: [ACTION]

[onlytwoexpressions]

If you say so.

Re: [ACTION]

[iseedeadbees]

[UGH. Starscream wants to keep arguing but MAN he can't counter this shit.]

Anyway, are you finished, or did you have anything else to annoy me about?

Re: [ACTION]

[onlytwoexpressions]

Whenever you are ready, I'd like you to come with me to speak to Other Starscream. Until then, I'll leave you to your thoughts.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Re: [ACTION]

[iseedeadbees]

[Starscream waves a hand dismissively and pretty much ignores half of what Magnus is saying to him because Starscream is an infant.]

I'll comm you when I'm ready.
