[So he'd made it. He'd made it, he was alive, and he was still here. He could see the distant temples from the mountain he stood on, some ancient and run-down building in ruins behind him. Despite the dilapidation, there is a very new 'STARSCREAM FOR OVERSEER' poster tacked onto the wall within his view...the perfect place for a high-flying, far-ranging jet to test out non-permanent adhesives without anyone noticing.]

So.

[He begins by reaching out, aiming, and completely blasting the wall and accompanying poster.]

Is there anyone who actually intends to vote for Starscream?

Are you saying you're not glad to see me?

[His hand drops, and he scoffs instead at the black mark on his shoulder.] Branded, yes. It's not the same color as yours, unsurprisingly.

I certainly wouldn't be if you were going to go the same way you did last time. Nor do I welcome the trouble you're surely going to stir up.

[Not a proper answer, but he allows himself distracted by the glyph instead, huffing out a dry laugh.]

Megatron, marked by Megatronus. It seems rather fitting to me.

Trouble? Here?

Now that would take some work.

[He smiles.]

It won't matter, in the end. What marks we wear, who we associate with. Either we get off this Cybertron, and continue what is important....

or we don't.

[Video] Whoops!

[ichooseboth]

Somehow I get the feeling that it wouldn't be too much for work for you.

[Sorry Megatron, that isn't intended to be a compliment, no matter how much grudging respect might be lurking in his tone.]

But that I can't entirely agree with. Not only is it a good deal more pleasant a stay then other, previous options, and but we are doing something more important in-between trying to get home.

You do recognize that, don't you?

[Video]!

You give me entirely too much credit, Optimus. I am merely a loud, somewhat poetic gladiator....while you?

Are Optimus Prime.

[It's totally a compliment, and thank you.]

It's given me to think about than I'd like. It's much simpler when my goals are clear. This?

I do not like this.
