[Broadcasting perched on an outcropping over a lava flow, seemingly sounding unbothered by the misstep into a sideways universe--first rule of Decepticon Club is never let em know you're scared.]

So, this looks like Cybertron--actually, a lot like the one I just came from. But from my recon, it's either a time, a space, or a time and space displacement.

Little bee, are you here? [elaborating] I'm looking for an Autobot named Bumblebee. About this high--[indicates short, midchest height]--gold, kinda stout. I'll also accept Metalhawk, Wheeljack - Soundwave? How about Prowl, with my luck he's here. [Bueller?]

--For the rest of you, my name is Starscream. Maybe you've heard of me. [and he's smirking a little self-indulgently at the thought. No matter how dangerous or inconvenient it might be to be preknown in a brave new world, it's nice to be important.]

I'm here to help.

No sense upsetting yourself. I can do that just fine for you. [making light about it. Not tip-toeing around trauma, but not writing it off completely, either.]

You know how to make a Seeker feel special. [actually it's kind of true, he does thrive on praise, but he's trying not to let on too bad, because he knows how glaring a weakness it is, how his enormous ego can get in the way of plans and blind him completely to facts. He's lucky he's not permanently offlined.]

What I mean to say is, clearly you have excellent taste in mechs.

[raceme]

Wonderful that's exactly what I needed [Blurr appreciate that, actually. Starscream even gets a brief smile for it.]

It's what I life for didn't you know? To make everyone feel loved. [Sarcasm, but not malicious.] Ah about that..in light of the events that had place in my world before I arrived to this one I am not so sure if I'm the best judge of character but I'LL take your words as high praise.

What do you mean, you're not the best judge of character? I was--[a pause] ...My universe's Blurr has a way with people.

[raceme]

Then he is lucky THAT is not my case. Because I mostly worked alone when I am around other mechs I found my social skill somewhat...lacking. [Let's not mention Shockwave in this conversation.]
