[The robot had been oddly quiet for a few days, even avoiding his family as much as possible during the Thanksgiving dinner. But now the phone in his room was knocked off the hook, and if you're listening carefully, you can hear him muttering to himself. There's something off about the words, slow and buzzing.]

Shouldn't have listen...ed to her... liar... don't hurt me again, no... one hurts me again... can't trust... them.... should have remembered that...

[Family members are free to notice that he has claimed possession of the house's sharpest kitchen knife, and a tool box. The knife was used to cut open the covering on his right arm, and the tools are being used in an attempt to one-handedly install a gun there.]

Make me, you little punk.

[ extremely juvenile and probably not smart since he just helped arm the kid, but hey! It works on Decepticons ]

[For a second, it looks like he's about to, but then he just kind of, gives up.]

Don't want to.

[ Damn it. :| Will just grab the poor kid by the collar and drag him out of the room ]

[Stumbles after you, tripping slightly on the rug in the hallway.]

Let go.

[ He'll keep you upright, no worries ]

No. Not until you come out of whatever funk you're in.

[silence, of the angry teenage variety.]

[ dragging you down the hall, then \o/ ]

[Walking after you, stumbling a bit, but at least he's moving.]

[ To the living room! ~~Always remember to take your robot for regular walks~~ ]

[Oh yes, the living room. Just... gonna walk around here now, following you. Hm... conversation... hm... oh!]

So... Is he your boyfriend?

[ and we're walking, we're walking ]

Who? Sideswipe?

[Oh yes, walking.]

No, Starscream.

[sarcasm, you can has it.]

[ wahoo, making headway! ]

Oh, ha ha. You're a riot.

I try.

What prompted that question, anyway?

The... screaming drone? Earlier.
