[Open][Video; At the edge of the Haven, slight static]

[megaton]

[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?

Comments

[Comment SO not here!!!....at least not for now] (may come back and reply later 9,9)

((ooc: Also don't mind the jet having a small conniption in the corner... This could be fun. >D ))


[Pit no . . . PIT NO . . . please, oh please just fragging go away, just like last time. Maybe if TC doesn't answer, this one will either go crazy have to be killed again or just simply vanish like that other one did.]

[Well . . . one can hope, anyway.]

[Barricade, ever the graceful mech, notices the transmission... and promptly runs into the doorjamb of his own room. Thankfully, no one will ever know. Unless they notice him rubbing one shoulder as he fires up his own video.]

Well, I suppose if no one more worthy runs against him...

[He is, for once, doing a good job of hiding his shock.

Mostly.

Sort of.]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

..!

[That voice. He knows that voice. But is it really...

After staring a moment at his Link, he finally makes a grab for it, swallowing before he finally manages to find his voice.]

....M...Magnum? Is that you?

[Video]

[dirge]

Oh. You're back. Again.

[Comment SO not here!!!....at least not for now] (may come back and reply later 9,9)

[megaton]

[Somewhere, somehow...Megatron smirks.]

/jacking [Video]

[dirge]

Told you he'd come back.

[megaton]

Are you telling me there actually will be elections?

[He's not sure if he finds that backward or progressive. But don't worry Barricade...you might notice he's having to carefully restrain his own emotions here. Small talk is a good way to NOT discuss...other things.]

[Video]

[megaton]

Ventus.

[There's a pause...because THIS human's voice is one that's more recent in his memory, and thus is deeply mired in less-than-pleasant events.]

Perhaps you can clear something up for me.

[dinnerdate]

...Megatron?

[Video]

[megaton]

And you, somehow, have managed to remain.

Is there actually enough here for you to eat?

[He doesn't trust this.]

Someone has been taking care of you, haven't they.

[megaton]

Ah, now that is better.

[His name. It's good to hear. Yes, he still is Megatron.]

Who is addressing me?

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[It is! It's him! The boy nods, acknowledging his name.]

Sure, I'll definitely try to. What is it..?

[Video]

[megaton]

Do you recall Optimus Prime stabbing me through the spark chamber?

Because I do.

[And generally, that wasn't something recoverable.]

[dinnerdate]

I, uh... Dead End, sir.

[Video]

[namesnotprowl]

You better enjoy being right while you can, Dirge. I don't give that up easy.

[megaton]

[That sounds familiar.]

We met...before, didn't we?

[So many memories from that time were hazy, like he'd imagined them. Some were more clear than he'd have liked.]

[dinnerdate]

When you were here before... yes.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[What a thing to be asked. Ventus falls silent, blue eyes looking away from the screen.]

...I...didn't hear the details.

But I know you'd been killed.

[noparachutes]

Hn, you're back.

[namesnotprowl]

Oh, we've already been voting on the viability of law committee members, Sparrow. I doubt actual elections're far behind.

[Barricade is making a point of carefully avoiding... other subjects. This is probably the best he could hope for as far as safe subjects. Well. This and maybe one other, that he can put a bit of a teasing tone into.]

More t'the point, don't tell me you've gotten lost out there.

Re: [Video]

[dirge]

Oh yeah? So what will you give me not to bring it up constantly in conversation for the next three cycles?

[megaton]

Good.

Then you can tell me how long I have been dead.

[Right now, he'd really like to know.]

video;

[megaton]

A Law Committee?

No doubt full of Decepticons, I'm sure.

[The idea of Starscream winning an election amuses him much more than it should.]

I can see my way back. Making the flight, on the other hand...

I am not looking forward to it.

[Video]

[namesnotprowl]

Mm, that's a very good question. I'll have t'think of think of something really good, won't I?

[Video]

[megaton]

I had thought as much.

Is returning from death a...regular occurrence here?

[It had been in Axiom, in a way.]
