[Accidental video] backdated to Starscream's super fun prison stay ( 'bout a week ago)

[my_own_trope]

[The video starts with a blurry, dark, shaky shape and the sound of Blurr droning on rapid fire about ... something. It's hard to make out over the frustrated, agonized crying of:]

SHUT UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP ALREADY!

SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP....

[When the video finally settles down and autofocus is able to kick in... you're all treated to the beautiful view of Starscream with his eyes screwed shut beating the heels of his palms against his own skull. Also a prison cell.]



[OOC| Video will continue with Blurr's response and public video thread. Possible replies from either he or Pscream. Don't look, Liege Maximo. This is just embarrassing.]

You got yourself in jail already? That must be a new record.

[my_own_trope]

Still less time than it takes for you to be caught racing when you should be on the job!

[Someone's in a bad mood today.]

[deadlydoctor]

Ah, but we are don't have job to do here anymore, do we? Maybe I should go racing. [And leave you there.]

[I think you misspelled 'this century'.]

[my_own_trope]

Race against whom, Knock Out? Autobots?

[He's been in a bad mood since Megatron came back from his 3 year vacation, and contracted space madness which he was out. ]

[deadlydoctor]

Race against mechs that aren't trapped in small cells.

[Knock Out can't say he's all that surprised.] What did you do to end there? Besides screwing up?

1/2

[my_own_trope]

Well maybe I wouldn't be here if you and Shockwave hadn't absconded off together and left me to deal with the local Autobot authorities.

[He rubs the side of his head with two knuckles]

That's the thing: I didn't do anything. Leave it to the Autobots to get all up in arms when someone so much as touches one of their tiny fleshy friends.

[/locked]

[my_own_trope]

[But now he goes to the other end of the cell and hunches over, whispering... since y'know... Blurr's RIGHT OUT THERE.]

Knock Out, I don't know what they're feeding this one, but he's completely mad. It's like his diet consists entirely of nothing but red energon. He just never stops! And he keeps going on and on and on about how we've met before.

[/locked]

[deadlydoctor]

Oh no, don't try to go and blame this on us, mister.

...you tried to off a human in front of the Police? [A+ Starscream.]

[Knock Out would be nice this time and not yell.] He seems really hyper, is he overcharged? His voice is really annoying, but you know that already.

[He's not smirking, honestly, he's not. It's a trick of the light.]But DID you meet before?

[perma /locked]

[my_own_trope]

I wasn't going to kill him! ... I just hadn't made up my mind what to do with him yet. [So probably: kill him.]

Don't I know it. And if he's overcharged, he's been this way since I had the misfortune of first running afoul of him: two days ago!

No, of course I haven't seen him before! I'd remember if I had!

[perma /locked]

[deadlydoctor]

Then torture him, maybe? [Knock Out know how you think, Starscream. He's not all that different.]

He must hate like you a lot if he keeps coming back just to talk to you. [Yup, his smirk is not going away anytime soon.]

Are you sure? Weird things happen here, people come and goes and forgets.

[my_own_trope]

Obviously I would if I COULD. But the cretin never gets close enough!

[He rolls his eyes at that]

I have been here before, but didn't just "come and go." [Actually, he's not SURE where he went for a while there but...] I know for a fact that I was firmly stuck on that horrid mud ball call earth during the period the Autobot thinks I was here.

[deadlydoctor]

Smart little thing uh? Those law bots are all annoying pests.

Some people are so inconsiderate, not allowing you to torture them at your heart content. Shame on them.

Curious. Most of the 'Bots here are from before my time to, they don't know about Megatron's victory.

[my_own_trope]

When did you arrive? Because... you were on Earth with me up til the point I was first summoned here.

[deadlydoctor]

A few months ago. The last thing we did in our world was to destroy the Autobot's base. I was on my medbay and the next second I appeared here wearing this horrid tattoo.

[my_own_trope]

What did Lord Megatron have to say on my absence?

Surely he doesn't think I left again, does he?

[Starscream sounds nervous]

[deadlydoctor]

Nothing. You were with us all the time, you even had an armada.

It seems like this place it's a riff in the space time continuum which means that either time stops in our world when we are here or somehow it doesn't get affected at all.

[my_own_trope]

I know I have an armada, I was there! I'm asking what happened after I was transported here... however many months ago.

...

Are you even listening to yourself, Knock Out?

[deadlydoctor]

I am but you make no sense. I don't remember you being here before and I can't know what happened in our wold after we destroyed the Bot's base because I wasn't in our world either.

[my_own_trope]

That's because you weren't here when I first arrived.

That doesn't make any sense. Time doesn't just stop.

[deadlydoctor]

Starscream, take a moment to look around and consider the world you are in now.

And then think about your concept of 'making sense'.

[my_own_trope]

Regardless of how illogical our current surroundings are, some scientific laws remain true. The passage of time being one of them!

[deadlydoctor]

Hm...[Knock Out shakes his head, then smiles.] No, sorry.

[my_own_trope]

You've... You've gone mad!

[deadlydoctor]

There, there, don't be so dramatic. Strangest things have happened. [Who was the one who was in a parallel dimension? Not Knock Out.]

[my_own_trope]

[Hey now, Pscream wasn't IN the dimension, that's just what someone told him had happened... probably you, Doc.]

Yes but at least they've made more sense -- more or less -- then this... this... whatever this place is. You can't honestly expect me to just ... accept that time has ceased.

Wait.

What if we're from different worlds?
