[aerospacecommander]

Greetings.

For those who have the misfortune of not knowing who I am -- my name is Commander Starscream.

All Decepticons will report to me as I am rightfully your leader.

Any Autobots who wish to jump ship from the losing side are also welcome to my brigade.

Everyone else -- well, lets just hope you come to your senses in good time.

Huh. Are you the Starscream that Slipstream was looking for? That name ring any bells for you?

[Audio]

[my_own_trope]

He most certainly is not! That is an imposter!

Re: [Audio]

[not_halfbaked]

So you're the one who knows Slipstream? The Air Commander she was looking for?

[Audio until said otherwise]

[my_own_trope]

If she was looking for Air Commander Starscream, then let me inform you, human, that you have the distinct honour of currently speaking to him. Right now.

Re: [Audio until said otherwise]

[not_halfbaked]

Oh, well, an honor to meet you, Sir. [Though her voice is a little baffled, if trying to be polite and formal. She gives a formal bow too--then freezes after it, wondering if the Air Commander can even see it. She can't see him.]

My name's Korra.

Hmmm...it doesn't sound like you know Slipstream. Or do you?

[my_own_trope]

[Is that... respect...???? from a human???????? Feels good, man]

[The next thing he says, sounds amused.]

No, no, you may bow. Go ahead.

[not_halfbaked]

Um... [Korra's not quite sure what to do with that. Where Cybertronians super formal or something? Crap, what was there etiquette? She'd never paid much mind to etiquette before, but maybe she should with giant robots--not that she could see this Starscream, but surely he was huge.] ...okay....

[Korra bows a little deeper, then straightens back up.]

So, Air Commander...do you have any of your unit here or something?

[my_own_trope]

Very nice.

[He could get used to that.]

Regrettably, my army is where I left it last and currently out of my reach. It did not come with me.

I am however, always looking for new recruits.

[not_halfbaked]

Oh, uh, thanks?

A whole army? Wow, I didn't think...but that makes sense, 'Commander,' Commander Bumi back home practically has an entire army.... [Korra realizes she's rambling, and stops.]

Well, good luck with that. [Korra gives a lopsided smile. Then realizes something.]

Oh, hey, Air Commander--so you fly, right? How does that work? Do you use airships?

[OOC: ...Was that the beginnings of an invitation? XD]

[my_own_trope]

Hardly. I am the 'airship.' Furthermore, I'm the most glorious one you'll ever meet.

Your 'Bumi's' army would have nothing on my soldiers and I very much doubt the entire fleet could handle me. Even all on my lonesome~.

[OOC| Who knows with Starscream? He likes to leave himself ambiguous wiggle room with his statements when he can. If she'd been a robot, hell yes, Uncle Samscream wants YOU. As it is, he's just desperate playing the field and seeing where things take him.]

[not_halfbaked]

[Korra remembers Drift.] So you transform too--all of your people can do that?

[my_own_trope]

[Ouch]


...






Of course we can.

[not_halfbaked]

I thought so. Drift said there were some that gave up their transformation powers--something to do with getting rid of their T-whatchamcallit, I dunno--but that sounded really weird. Who'd give up something like that, especially if they were born with it?

[OOC: Seriously, Korra and Drift had a conversation like this in another thread. Drift was saying there were Cybertronians who gave up their T-Cogs. And Korra's just being oblivious to 'Scream's current issue here.]

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

No, but I certainly am Starscream. So ... you've heard of me, huh?

Re: [video] (OOC: Korra breaks out the 'M'-word without realizing the possible consequences)

[not_halfbaked]

You and Megatron. Slipstream mentioned you both. I guess you're definitley not hers, you don't really match her description....

I mean, there's like apparently more than one version of a person here? Weird.

[Should she mention specifically that she's met two Starscreams now?]

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

... Megatron.

And what do you know of him?

[He ignores the whole multiple versions thing. He'll get to that later.]

Re: [video]

[not_halfbaked]

[Shrug.]

Slipstream said the Starscream and Megatron in her world didn't get along that well. And that his name sounds a lot like Megatronus Prime, owner of the temple I'm crashing at right now.

So, not much, really.

Re: [video]

[aerospacecommander]

Oh so we get to be roommates. Goody.

Megatron is a large mechanical being who looks like he has a bucket on his head and his face is shaped in a permanent grimace. You'll know him if you see him.

Re: [video]

[not_halfbaked]

You've got Megatronus' Glyph too? Did you get to meet the guy?

[Bursts out laughing despite herself. Funniest thing she's heard since entering this world. Manags to say between her snickers.] I'm sure I will.

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

Unfortunately. He's rather grouchy and pushy. I guess he holds true to his name.

[All those with "Mega" in front were annoying.]

Re: [video]

[not_halfbaked]

Kinda intimidating, I guess, but I barely saw the guy, couldn't get much of an impression on him. Nice enough to give us a roof over our head, at least.

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

Oh, so you're the naive trusting type. I'll keep that in mind.

Re: [video]

[not_halfbaked]

...Not naive enough to not hear that.

[Korra's just confused. Even Tarrlok wasn't that blunt when he was trying to get her to do something! Not at first, anyway. What was this Starscream playing at? Just an insult...that lessened the chance of him manipulating her later...? Weird....]

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

I said you were naive not incapable of hearing.

[Sorry Korra, Starscream is just a grade A sarcastic jerk all around. It's how he functions in life. ... Also why he gets back-handed by Megatron a lot.]

Re: [video]

[not_halfbaked]

[OOC: Ah ha, Korra's been itching for any kind of fight. But she sucks at comebacks.]

So you'll just pointing it out without any ulterior motive in mind? [Begins to kinda think it's a little refreshing after Tarrlok. Things might've been easier if he'd called her 'half-baked' upfront from the very start.]
