[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.]

[my_own_trope]

Can I help you with something?

[Somehow he manages to look like he has bags under his eyes. How, we just don't know.]

[redshirtrobot]

[He would almost feel sorry for Starscream... if he didn't remember being backhanded in the face by him over engine trouble.]

... Did you consider politely asking him to stop?

[my_own_trope]

[Man up, Daffodil, Starscream has killed vehicons for less.]

You think I didn't try that already?

[It's possible if not highly probably that he didn't. And it's too late now.]

[He did try to kill Blurr though. A bunch. To show his displeasure at this new form of torture.]

[redshirtrobot]

[As if he doesn't know that. All Steve wanted was your love, you monster.]

I uh. I'm guessing not, since from what I can see, you went straight to... 'shut up shut up in the name of Primus shut up'.

So I guess you just have to live with that now.

[my_own_trope]

[Oh boy, don't even get him STARTED on Steve. That guy was an entirely different kettle of fish all together. Seriously, Starscream thought he might want to change his shoes?
/opens the door to his walk-in closet
/OH GOD IT'S STEVE AND YOU DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING IN THERE

/Maybe Starscream was feeling a little peckish so he goes to the company lunchroom mini-fridge
/...Steve what are you doing to his frappe?

/Well maybe he'll be safe in the showers, a little private time would be kinda nice
/STEVE HOW DID YOU EVEN GET IN HERE, NO HE DOESN'T NEED ANY 'HELP', HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO FIND A LOOFAH THAT BIG, NO DON'T ANSWER HIM, STARSCREAM HAS GOT TO GO HE LEFT HIS MUFFINS ON IN THE ENGINE ROOM BYE>]

That's because the little blue cretin hasn't stopped reciting his nonsense to me since I arrived at this quaint demonstration of Autobot hospitality. But believe me, I made it plenty clear I wasn't interested in whatever he's still trying to peddle.

[See: murder attempts]

[redshirtrobot]

It's not Autobots, the Police are a joint venture by everyone.
... You tried to murder him, didn't you.

[THE ANSWER IS NEVER MURDER WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU DX]

[my_own_trope]

I have yet to see anyone without an Autobot badge here.
Yes. I was only trying to incapacitate him.

[The answer is ALWAYS murder...unless you're Megatron faced with a Starscream, apparently. But aside from that, Decepticon house unspokenrules are pretty clear. Murder is always the preferred option #1.]

[redshirtrobot]

The Brave Police aren't Autobots. They're definitely in the police force. How many have you seen, anyway?
... With your knife hands.

[It isn't for the Vehicons B| WHAT NOW BRO?]

[my_own_trope]

"Brave Police?" Is that what they're calling themselves? That's terrible. It sounds worse than "Autobots."

With the only hands at my disposal.

[redshirtrobot]

Some of them, not all of them. They brought the name with them from their world, and it's pretty much exactly as silly as 'Autobots' and 'Decepticons'.

That doesn't change that your hands are like knives and you keep trying to kill people with them.

he can't see your badge from this angle

[my_own_trope]

Speaking of which, what's your alliance, Cybertronian?

And you've got previous experience with these, [he wiggles his fingers, the claws catching the light] have you?

that's k bro let him splain it to ya

[redshirtrobot]

Decepticon.

[There's no reason to lie, Starscream will know sooner or later. As to the question... he narrows his optics slightly.]

I've heard stories. Besides them looking nasty.

[my_own_trope]

They really are excellent weapons aren't they? [/gazing at his claws]

[redshirtrobot]

[Starscream you are such a narcissist.] I always preferred actual weapons myself.

[my_own_trope]

[Someone has to love him... since no one else will.]

[He lets one arm turn into its sleek laser rifle mode]

Something like this~?

[redshirtrobot]

[And that couldn't possibly have anything to do with those murderous inclinations, would it.]

[Fracas tilts his head, narrowing his optics. It can't hurt him, it can't hurt him, it can't hurt him...]

More like that, yes.

[my_own_trope]

At a high enough setting, this'll shoot clear through someone's chest, sparkcasing and all~~

[redshirtrobot]

I've heard that too. The question is, is that exactly necessary?

[my_own_trope]

[Apparently it's not, since he rarely dials it that high... ಠ_ಠ ]

Leave those sorts of questions to me, soldier.

[His eyes narrow just a bit]

I don't think I caught your name...

[redshirtrobot]

Fracas.

You've probably never heard of me.

[Because he never had a name to officers, he was just Hey You or You Drone There.]

[my_own_trope]

Oh, so you're Fracas.

Actually I have heard of you. I've also been informed that you belong to Lord Megatron, and as such, given our leader's absence; are one of mine

[You can thank Deads for that.]

[redshirtrobot]

I guess people talk about me around here, then.

I've been working for a Shockwave in Lord Megatron's absence. He's had more need of me. And with you in jail right now...

[Yeah, he's not about to try to get you out.]

[my_own_trope]

As Megatron's second in command, I outrank the both of you.

Your new task: contact Shockwave and have him send over a groundbridge.

[redshirtrobot]

Uhm. Wrong Shockwave. I'm working for the really big and pointy one.

[He can just fail to mention that Shockwave's malfunctioning space bridge and he's covered.]

Also if we broke you out of jail someone would figure it out and then all of us would be in jail and I'd. Rather not be there.

[my_own_trope]

[... So I guess he was another Shockwave after all.]

Two questions. [Uh oh, Starscream's voice is doing that thing where he starts to sound cold... which is a very different type of angry than his average pissy style.]

First: why aren't you reporting to your PROPER Shockwave?

[As little as he likes Shockwave, he likes the soldiers working for the wrong team ever more.]
