Homeless and Full of Disappoint

[needsmoarbombs]

I must admit, small one, this decision was unexpected of you, particularly knowing what you know... of my fate.

I had hoped for a better outcome, with the decision I had made. In all sense of the phrasing.

[Committing treason had been a difficult thing for him, and look how that turned out. Starscream lived and the Autobots still failed; it was like his sacrifice was completely in vain.]

Still, I suppose that the choice is yours... but the end result will be of my will, and mine alone. I will not be dragged about by you as leashed pet. Though I will expect you to keep me informed of events regardless.

sorry for MirrorScream's Blue Screen Of Death

[distortedscream]

[Nope, mind still broken, feeling rather catatonic now. He--a counterpart of his...had done that. The same thing Ratchet had done to his trine...the thought that any part of himself, any version of himself had done that was...not good for the brain.]

nonsense it's beautiful XD

[needsmoarbombs]

[He's never seen Starscream have a reaction quite like that. Not ever. For every shock there was a protestation or a plea... or worse, another lie. Starscream isn't this good of an actor. Dreadwing lets out an audible, rumbling growl of frustration and sheaths his sword reluctantly. This isn't the one he wants.]

I... believe you.

Re: nonsense it's beautiful XD

[distortedscream]

[The sound of the sword sheathing snaps him out of it. Starscream registers Dreadw--the other Dreadwing's words.]

...Does it really matter now? [His voice a low guttural scrape.]

[Starscream had run into Optimus, Orion, whatever the frag he wanted to call himself, in this strange place, once. Had instantly attacked him, only to learn later that he technically never ordered the experimentation or the destruction of Vos. And since then...he'd wondered, sometimes, what he'd do if he ran into a Ratchet that claimed he was guiltless. The thought made him see red. Starscream doubted it would matter to him, it would still be Ratchet, Ratchet that--

...He couldn't fathom Dreadwing really letting any version of him go like this. Not after what happened.]

[needsmoarbombs]

If I did not, your spark would be impaled on my blade now.

[That hardly eases his frustration at the situation, of course. But he can't kill someone that wasn't directly involved with what happened to his twin, and he's convinced that this Starscream wasn't. In spite of his looks. The only death that mattered now was that of his own Starscream and some way or another he would track him down and make him pay.

Killing this Starscream would be a hollow, meaningless victory in Skyquake's name. And Dreadwing isn't willing to do that.

He has no brother and no cause; all that's left is his honor. And he'll uphold it.]

However, if you are lying to me I will discover it. Then I shall rectify what was done, and Lord Megatron himself would be unable to keep me from it.

[distortedscream]

[Starscream ran a weary claw over his face, then looked back to Dreadwing.]

No, I would not lie to you about this.

[Another thing catches his attention, and draws an instinctive response.]

Seems like Lord Megatron would let you rectify such a thing.

[Mouth, insert heeled foot.]

[needsmoarbombs]

[Dreadwing's upper lip curls up slightly.]

He seems to find more use in a traitor's cunning than the loyalty he claims to prize.

A choice he defends strongly.

[To Dreadwing's disgust... and death. If he'd had his revenge then everything might have been settled between them. Shakily, but settled nevertheless. No such luck.]

homeless still?

[distortedscream]

...Different from my Megatron,then.

[Unless was this other Megatron being...merciful? If the impossible happened and his dimension faced the same situation, he couldn't really see Megatron denying Dreadwing like this.]

submitted an app to Ink City, actually!

[needsmoarbombs]

More's the pity, I suppose.

[His Megatron wasn't particularly known for mercy. Of course, Dreadwing hadn't been in the mood for mercy at the time, whether it was towards Starscream or him.]

My last hope for the war and vengeance for my brother lays in the hands of the Autobots now.

cool, I tried apping there, will have to revise

[distortedscream]

...That doesn't sound very reassuring.

[Alternate dimensions or not, Starscream's still wary of the Autobots.]

[OOC: Mirrorverse!Starscream recently joined the outsiders comm. though! TFP!Arcee is there, along with a Prowl from IDW, I think. Pretty sure we're always open for more Transformers castmates there. ^_^]
