you're heading to ink_city bub.

[staresat]

[Honestly the shit he has to deal with in your headspace merits that curt stare.]

Your self-control leaves much to be desired.

Comments

[deceptiveplane]

...

[FHL. Seriously.]

Wonderful.

[staresat]

[Of all people to be stuck in an inter dimensional nexus with.]

I see you've failed in finding a way to escape your confinement. How unsurprising.

[deceptiveplane]

[Oh no u didn't gurlfriend.]

I don't see you coming up with any ideas! And to think you were one of the top Decepticon scientists.

[staresat]

[Excuse me you just lost your personal space priveleges. Face, meet red optic.]

I doubt you would appreciate the intricacies of the subject, Starscream.

[deceptiveplane]

[Instant 180 on attitude.]

W-Well, credit where credit is due, right?

[staresat]

[And that peer breaks and becomes distant again. Whatever is behind you appears to be more interesting at the moment.]

I hear the Nemesis is short of hand in your location.

[How can you attempt to construct a giant inter dimensional portal without mooks?]

[deceptiveplane]

[Those optics jitter around nervously.]

Er...yes. You could...say that.

We just recently lost our leader, after all.

[disinformation]

It does seems like a virus, their lack of self-control.

[staresat]

[Oh.]





[Now that is an interesting development. Interesting enough to merit a thoughtful pause.]

So you remain in his stead?

[staresat]

It appears to be quite a plague.

[Though something else is piquing his interest a little more, so he's not going to wait for a response.]

We've never met.

[And that means he wants to know your designation.]

[deceptiveplane]

[Look at those oversized wings perk up. Someone's quite proud of this.]

Of course~

It is only natural his second in command would take over.

[staresat]

[Enjoy it while it lasts. Someone's plotting devious things in here and the lack of a face is doing a good job of hiding it.]

Only time will tell if you are capable of taking up his mantle.

[deceptiveplane]

...Do you DOUBT me?

I was selected by Lord Megatron himself, after all.

[disinformation]

Shockwave. And your designation?

[staresat]

That will only take you so far.

[He doesn't expect Starscream needs a lecture on how he'll need to prove himself.]

[staresat]

[Now that seemed to incite an intrigued tilt backwards, just slightly.]

We appear to share that particular trait.

[deceptiveplane]

WHY is it that no one takes my work seriously, despite how I have SUCCESSFULLY led the Decepticons to several victories?

Did everyone just forget that? Or do we like to focus on things such as what Knock Out's newest patient has been?

[staresat]

[Actually, he would like to know what Knockout's newest patient had been, considering the Nemesis had been sent to an alien planet.]

[That intrigued pause is him waiting for the other 'Con to disclose the details.]

[deceptiveplane]

...I wouldn't know!

[staresat]

[Can you hear that internal sigh? It could blow trees over.]

A leader who is unaware of his medic's assignments.

[disinformation]

Interesting. I take it you are a different version of me? [ He leans in a little, to peer closer. Yes, he can see the similarities. ]

[deceptiveplane]

You might say I have an aversion to you psychotic scientist types.

[WONDER WHY THAT IS.]

[staresat]

[He allows the other mech to lean in to make brief observations of his own. The other bot's build was lighter, probably for a more active combat role of some sort. Agility and speed are rather useless when you spend most of your time in a laboratory.]

From an alternate dimension, most likely.

[Not a concept too foreign for him, considering his own affinity for Space Bridge technology.]

[staresat]

[Psychotic Science is THE ONLY SCIENCE. WIMP.]

An irrational feeling that will need to be amended soon.

[deceptiveplane]

...

R-Right. Your arrival.

Charming.

[staresat]

I am your best chance to be freed from your imprisonment.

[Isn't going back to your actual dimension more important?]

[deceptiveplane]

Please, with Lord Megatron gone I am capable enough to lead my army!

...!!

Our...army...

[staresat]

[His helm shifts back in a way that could almost be described as slightly amused.]

If your "army" can follow instructions, our stay should be relatively short.

[deceptiveplane]

...

I wouldn't get your hopes up.

[SIGH.]

There's Soundwave and Knock Out.

[staresat]

[That's not much of an army, Starscream.]

[That long stare is well-deserved.]

You have not converted anyone else to your cause.

[deceptiveplane]

Do not fret, Shockwave. I have made alliances with many others.

[staresat]

Good. We will need laborers.

[Any useful alliance would have plenty of that.]
