shitposting rave 3: Dawn of the third rave

If you take umbrage with my inactivity, bring this up with those who prevent me from carrying out my task. Or fee me from my prison.
[Why stop at one potential court member. While he isn't tearing himself apart over what happened the last time he may as well...]

I do not pray either.

 

Yup. Confirmed.

 

Did you want to do anything else but waste my time?

 

Hey, you were the one complaining.
Regarding your suggestion -- that sounds like a prison break if ever I heard one. How much can you pay?

 

See, mayhap that is the matter's crux
Though work I have but rarely seen
Only their flare across the in-between
But what better way to try one's luck?

 

So, uh, Unicron, I had a few more questions.

 

[he raises his voice to a dangerous rumble]
You presume to barter...?
[He abruptly quiets again.]
... I will not be that way anymore and you should be thankful for that. But as it is, you complained I do not further my task and my hands are bound. I do not follow why I should pay you for doing yourself a favor.

Did you have anything but cryptic nonsense to add, organic?

Then ask them, little one.

 

If I did take the deal. With the term of 'stay alive'. You couldn't change the terms of the deal without negotiation, right?

 

I did such, eons ago in a different universe. I will not lie to you. Formalities like renegotiation may have to be forgone in the name of flexibility.

 

Can you tell me what happened in that case?

 

Are you familiar with Galvatron? Or... Megatron?
Whichever name he is going by these days. Although I suppose the terms did not really change, it was merely his lackluster motivation for carrying out his task that lead to our... disagreements.

 

Wait, uh, that Megatron? And the Galvatron who, uh, said everyone like me should die?

 

A different universe. I do not have connections with him in this one.
... He is still fond of destruction and subjugation I see.

 

Those are two separate people in the current turning, uncle.

Not the ones you're thinking of, little one. A different turning, where Megatron and Galvatron were one spark rather than two, and betrayed the Planet-Eater-- though admittedly my knowledge of this is second-hand, and my seeing-brother is nowhere to be found for further details. In any case, if a contract is breached, I cannot find fault with... altering the terms.

 

(Apostasia giggles)
Ah yes, the old "big mouth but nothing behind it".

 

I see.

I'm... antsy about binding myself to anyone. If we were to take this further, it... would help to start small.

 

... He- They are?

Indeed. I do not take kindly to schemers and usurpers.

If that is how you want to see it. I do not give weight to the opinions of someone who throws away every value she holds once things stop going her way. You may once have been respectable, but now you are nothing but a spoiled brat.

I do not mind. It has been... a long time and I am... hesitant.

 

...so. What would your initial terms be? Would there be a way to step down without it being a betrayal?

 

Aww, widdle sparkling is throwing a tantrum. Which reminds me, what was your name again? You obviously know of me, but I don't think you've been in the last couple editions of Who's Who.
