Video the 1st || introducing little king trashmouth

[iseedeadbees]

[Since there aren't enough confused seekers around here already RIGHT. This here video starts up with THIS mostly red jet guy all up in his drone's grill trying to adjust the video or WHATEVER. To say he looks displeased would be an understatement, he looks positively livid, but he seems to chill out once he realizes he's gotten the droid to start recording. Now he just looks mildly annoyed, but deep down in his stupid little spark he really just wants to start slapping people let's be honest.]

Okay, in the interest of saving all of us a little time, I'll cut right to the point. My name is Starscream. That's Lord Starscream, ruler of Cybertron, just so we're all on the same page. I don't know why I've been brought here, I don't know how I was brought here, I don't even know where here is, but I'm sure I don't need to state how little I appreciate being brought here against my will. That said, if any of you would be so kind as to point me towards the nearest space bridge or transport, I'd be willing to forget this little incident ever took place. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[he decides to leave out the part about him ruining people should nobody help him out. no need to be too unpleasant right]

[Oh joy, Starscream. This one's clearly not the one from his world, so it helps some. Still, ruler of Cybertron? Did he arrive drunk?]

Starscream. [BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY IN PRIMUS' NAME HE'S CALLING YOU LORD. Different version or not.]

To answer your questions. This is Cybertron, but not the one you know. [Or rule] You were brought here by the miasma, like the rest of us. Lastly, afraid there is no way off of here

[iseedeadbees]

[well HERE'S a face he's absolutely never seen before in his life. Word.

Starscream holds a hand up in that 'THAT'S GREAT AND ALL AND IMMA LET YOU FINISH BUT' sort of way because this???????? some bullshit.]

Okay, that? That's the most ridiculous nonsense I've ever heard in my life. Let's say there is no way off, sure, but there's no way that this is Cybertron. Have you seen this place?

[notoptimus]

[Nah you have, just in a lot shorter form, mwahahaha.

He's trying to be nice. At least this guy's not an ass like the Screamer he knew.

Well maybe a little like him. How did he know you'd say that?]

Yes, I know it's hard to believe. But this is Cybertron. It doesn't look like what you expect.

[iseedeadbees]

[also with a nose

This Starscream at least knows how to pretend to not be completely insufferable, so there's that.]

No. No it doesn't, especially considering I was just on Cybertron.

[He's really trying not to be super pissed and snap at this guy. Pissing he locals off might make it harder to get info after all. He takes a second to just chill before continuing, and manages to not look like he's about to throw a fit. FAKE ZEN.]

Look, I'm sure you can understand why I'm having a hard time believing this. You mentioned something... miasma, is that right? What is that, how did that bring us here?

[notoptimus]

[His pompadour comes close.]

Yes, I can understand. I found it hard to believe when I got here, too. But it's hard to ignore something, that people that have been here longer than me is claiming.

[In agrement with Starscream. This is weird. But people have lived here for years, and them just claiming some planet as Cybertron would be a little weird. He's silent as he watches Screamer for reactions. His Starscream could start out calm and nice, too, until he got to a point.]

Yeah, miasma. You might have seen it when you got here, the smoke that lingers around the edges. Sometimes other places. That's the miasma. Among other things, it drops people here.

[iseedeadbees]

[not as cute as other bee's little horns ok >8(]

Care to elaborate on these other things? Is it dangerous or anything?

[notoptimus]

[No the horns were Cliffjumper's thing. ....wait.]

Depends, you ever hear of Unicron?

[ACTION!]

[knight_light]

[Guess who's out flying around the city! That's right. This guy! Guess whi spots the neecomer and decides to land and hive hum welcome! Right again! Wing transforms and lands a comfortable distance away.]

I take it you're new here?

[GADZOOKS]

[iseedeadbees]

[Dude you are way too cheerful looking also what is a hive hum. Starscream crosses his arms and tries to appear all chill, but he's still pretty obviously tense and on guard. It kind of weirds him out when people come at him all NICE okay]

What gave it away?

[Don't mind him he's just the master of sarcasm]

[SURPRISE!]

[knight_light]

[Hive hum? It's how the cool kids say hi. And also what happens when phone typing.]

Stabding out here to do a recording. Welcome to Haven. My name's Wing, and you?

[SNAP]

[iseedeadbees]

[it sounds like a beehive buzzing all at the same time and making a horrible bee hum they could write a horror movie about that BUT MOVING ON

WELL Starscream certainly doesn't recognize this guy, aaaand his frame type is pretty outdated tbh. Considering he doesn't know who Starscream of all people is, maybe this guy had been living under a rock for the past four million years.]

Starscream. As... curious as I am about this Haven or whatever, I'm afraid I can't stay.

Re: [SNAP]

[knight_light]

[The did. They call it The Bee Movie]

[The look is different, but he knows the name, kind of from home, but also from before the fight with Unicron.]

Unfortunately we've not yet figured out how to leave yet. The miasma, that black-ish smoke, brought us here and keeps us here.

Re: [SNAP]

[iseedeadbees]

[ >8(!!!!!! ]

Right... And what's keeping us from just flying over it?

[10_20_15_5_50]

[Now a couple of prominent political figures have come and gone from Haven, and Sam's still yet to see cyborg Stephen Harper, or, better, John Baird.]

[Oh, well.]

Hate to break it to you, but what transport we've got isn't going to get you far.

[iseedeadbees]

[yeah but can they turn into jets I DON'T THINK SO. UGH and now he has to talk to HUMANS why is today happening.]

That's the opposite of helpful, you realize.

[10_20_15_5_50]

[No... but that's for the best.]

At least you're getting warned early on? And I ought to add nobody's managed to contact anyone off-world. That's not helpful either, but it's still something you should know.

Sorry.

[iseedeadbees]

[well THAT'S great news just look at how thrilled Starscream is to hear it PROTIP: he isn't]

At the very least, it saves me the trouble of having to ask about it.

[10_20_15_5_50]

Figured you would, shortly, since it's the logical next step. It's... well, definitely not anybody's ideal situation, and I am sorry to open on the shit bits, but it's not a bad place to be marooned, even if being marooned bites---'it' being the city of Haven, and what habitable space surrounds it.

[iseedeadbees]

Not to sound completely ungrateful, but do you know if anyone's actually trying to find a way out of here?

[Video]

[memorial_wing]

. . . No.

Not. Fragging. Possible.

Come here! [That was to his comm drone as he reaches for it and tries to get it to turn off the feed.]

[Video]

[iseedeadbees]

Thundercracker!?

[On the one hand HEY SOMEONE STARSCREAM KNOWS on the other hand oooooooooh it's. Thundercracker WELL THEN.]

What are you doing here!? I thought you'd decided to strand yourself on Earth!

[Video]

[memorial_wing]

What am I doing here? What you you doing here!? You're dead!

[Give him a moment, he'll notice the differences. It's been too long since he's seen his trine leader or heard his voice, so the variations aren't registering right away.]

[Video]

[iseedeadbees]

Who told you that? Was it Galvatron? Skywarp? It was Skywarp, wasn't it.

[Ugh what even he didn't need this headache today]

[Video]

[memorial_wing]

[That gets a SNARL of rage.]

Don't you dare talk about Skywarp like that! And no one told me, you fragging imposter! I WAS THERE! Supreme Commander Megatron - [wow, NEVER heard /that/ level of hate from TC, have you? The vitriol drips almost palpably from his tone.] - ripped out Starscream's spark with his bare hand!

[Thundercracker's backed from the comm drone a bit, not far but far enough that his wings are visible. With their lack of brands. And the fact that his right wing is decidedly not the right color.]

[Video]

[iseedeadbees]

[Starscream just crosses his arms and gives Thunderdoodle the weirdest look he's probably ever given anyone in his life.]

Ooookay, I think you've been watching too much television. I hear it rots human brains, and apparently the same can be said for Cybertronians. Megatron never killed me. Maybe he came close a few times, but he failed to do that almost as spectacularly as he failed as a commander. I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but come on.
