Not being sure about talking to sets some solid implications for actually-acting-on-behalf-of.

She seems like a nice person. Like a good person. Murdering someone would probably cost you her friendship---and probably other friends, since that's some serious shit!

[Dirge huffs a sigh from his vents, the tip of one wing flicking.]

Do all humans have the same morals as autobots? [This is starting to frustrate him a little. Maybe this is why they always seem to team up with Prime's army.]

[She turns her hands up in exasperation.]

Moot point, man, and beside the point mattering most, here.

I can't understand what you all have against taking a life. Aren't there other humans you'd like to get rid of that stand in your way?

Edited 2015-02-08 02:00 (UTC)

Actually, no.

[And it is an effort to refrain from adding 'not anymore' just to fuck with Dirge. LORD, GIVE HER STRENGTH.]

I think it's only justified in self-defense, on in defending somebody else. Can't really claim a want---beyond one like 'I want to live,'---takes precedent over another person's everything. When it comes to crossing that line, though...

You... [Dirge hisses and grabs the poor drone, his grip squeezing hard enough to warp the screen for a second or two.]

All of you are starting to give me the worst headaches!

[He growls in frustration, tossing the bot a few lengths away. By the time it floats back into range, he's turned away and started on some rant, half to himself.]

I don't understand at all! I thought I knew about friendship, but the rules keep changing. And everyone here is so....selfless. I wish Swindle were here. Or even my half-siblings. They would understand.

[Look into the face of NO REGRET ~~though that might change when Sam learns that she is no longer regarded as 'the Sam human.'~~]

What did you think you knew about friendship?

[As irked as Sam's been, the question is nearly neutral.]

Edited 2015-02-08 02:36 (UTC)

[The clone glances back over his shoulder at the question, dentals showing for a moment before his mouth closes again in thought.]

Friends are valuable and good to have. They have to be protected. They have to help you.

But this other human now says they do not belong to they belong with, which I do not understand.

I also am unsure now of exactly how to obtain them. Some I have acquired easily, others I still do not know how to make mine.

...You were off to a solid start.

[And at least decent enough to answer the question. See, this is why civility matters.]

I do not want to be haunted. [Which means he's stuck doing what she's asked again, for now.]

Do you have any more information to give me?

[Sam considers carefully.

If you don't do anything detrimental to anybody, I think we can stay civil. That's something, and since staying civil means we might make more deals in the future, that's something to you. For other information...

...pushed, I could take more than taste.

It is. [It limits him in one way, but perhaps in another it could be helpful. Perhaps he should try to make her his friend too.]

M-more? [His wings lift in alarm, dentals pressing down against his lower lip.]

Something substantial, I hope to hear.

[One eyebrow's up for that understated inquiry, before Sam's expression smooths into simply 'serious'. She nods once, in affirmation.]

More, and what would be worse.

You remember before; I said I didn't want a beef with you? I still don't, but.

[Something in the stress on that one word makes it clear; in this conversation, distance doesn't mean much.]

Weigh 'what would be worse' against 'staying civil' and tell me what conclusion you come to.

Maybe you should be my friend? [He posits carefully- no harm in asking after all, right?]

Without the spirit medium to help me, I really have no choice. [He admits reluctantly.]

What the Pit are you up to now, winglet?

[Read: Are you doing something stupid that he's gonna have to fly over there and smack you for?]

Probably planning my murder, or trying to weigh what the consequences could be.

[Sam is already so done with Dirge---or would be, if there wasn't the very-present possibility of some soylent green shit going down.]

The consequences would be me coming over there and tearing him a new exhaust port, among other things.

[Seriously, this kid...]

I'd appreciate that. If, y'know, I weren't too busy being dead, or wrecking his everything to an apocalyptic extent ala Amityville.

[Hopefully you've seen that staple between slasher flick failures.]

As it is, I appreciate the thought.

[It was actually, and the reference gets a smirk out of him.]

Good to know it's appreciated. Hopefully it'll be enough motivation to keep him from doing anything stupid, once I tell him.

Wholeheartedly, and hell; I hope so. Push comes to shove, I can sling some pretty nasty juju...

[Take note, Dirge; she hopes you heard that.]

But I'd really rather it didn't come to that.

I just wanted that spirit medium. As a friend. But she and the Sam Witch do not understand that killing is sometimes necessary to get what one wants.

[Jadewing has to think about that for a second. Not because he thinks it's a good idea but because the logic of it is just so nonsensical. He raises an optic ridge.]

...And you think that killing someone will make her want to be your friend?

[Because srsly, WTF?]

No. [Perhaps he should try to explain better.]

The Sam Witch has threatened to haunt me if I kill her. I want the spirit medium as a friend so she will help me get rid of the Sam Witch's ghost.

Understand?

[Yes, perhaps he should.]

And why, might I ask, do you want to kill Sam?

[His tone suggests that it had better be a damn good reason. He kind of likes Sam.]

Just if she gets in my way or tries to stop me from getting something I want. [Pout.] It's not personal or anything.
