[video] And then there's this loser
[Some people, upon discovering they'd been magically uprooted from wherever they were and mysteriously transported to a weird almost-but-not-quite Cybertron against their will, would probably be angry. At the very least they might be annoyed, maybe a little frustrated or panicked. This guy seems to be the exception. He looks a bit puzzled, sure, but he also looks MAYBE a little too calm and cheerful for someone in his position.
Oh, the video's recording! Excellent. He claps his hands together in that 'let's get down to business' sort of way.]
Oookay, from what I understand so far, it's probably safe to assume that you're all pretty used to confused new people popping up from time to time. I think I'm caught up on the basics, so I hope to avoid the whole panicking stage. Actually, everything I've heard so far is pretty fascinating. Just, you know, a little jarring. I have a few theories, but... well, I'll save them for when I have a better idea of what to expect here. The Acolyte I spoke to didn't give me too much information to work with. Well wait... okay, that's not true. I mean, it was pretty informative over all, but there isn't really a whole lot I can do with what they told me other than accept it. I don't like to complain, but it wasn't really all that helpful in a day-to-day life sort of sense.
So! Um. Anyway, my name is Drift. If anyone happens to have any helpful tips for a new arrival, I'd love to hear them. And... I think that's all I've got! Thanks for your time.

[ what second one? and yes he is hopeful because he would like to think that his home still exists somewhere. ]
video;
Anyway, that was a long time ago. It isn't there anymore.
video;
[ can probably see the disappointment. but argh. oh well. nothing can be done about it and dwelling on it probably isn't wise for anyone. ]
At least others had another chance. I'm... Well I'm a bit envious.

[ aaand he isn't going to put this off any longer. ]
If I can be any help to you at all, Drift. Let me know.
[ then he winces. ]
Chances are you won't believe me in the next instant, but the offer will stand regardless.
video;
[but he certainly does look curious. bring it on.]
video;
[ after a moment, he does hold the Link back a little bit. yeah... sure are wings with nice red Decepticon brands. ]
My name is Starscream, you see.
video;
...
[yeah just give him a second]
Starscream. As in Megatron's second in command Starscream.
video;
[ he gives a bit of a shrug. at least there's no laughing... just the COMMON DISBELIEF, but that he can deal with. ]
There are a few of us here that come from a "negative polarity" dimension, so Cliffjumper likes to put it. Our factions and personalities are somewhat reversed from what many are used to.

That isn't the first time I've heard that either. Fair warning there is another Starscream here who isn't all that pleasant. Thankfully we hardly look similar.
[ can you tell he doesn't much care for the other jet? ]
To be honest, I had only heard about the Drift in my reality through various sources. They don't paint quite the flattering picture, but I'm pleased to know that there is a decent iteration wandering about the multiverse.
video;
Oh, weird. I guess if there can be another Starscream, it's not too farfetched that there'd be more than one of me floating around out there too. Just out of curiosity, what can you tell me about... well, other me?
video;
[ there's a rather serious look on Starscream's end. it's not that he's opposed to talking about it but... ]
Are you sure you want to know? Autobots are not known for their kindness or their sanity.
video;
[y'know the whole ex-con thing]
video;
[ even though he sort of has to see it. ]
Another question, if I may?
video;
Of course, go ahead.

Re: video;

Shadowmaru is a good sort as well.
video;
Oh, Shadowmaru! I've already spoken to him, seems like a decent guy.
video;
[ which actually kind of hurts him more than he lets on. it's very disappointing to think that someone you care about won't give people a chance. but moving on! ]
He is, albeit young. That particular group is from Earth. Quite fascinating, really.
video;
[hell, he still catches flack for being an ex-con but hey]
Fascinating how?
video;
[ still doesn't think it should be, but there's nothing he can do about it. ]
They don't have an ember - spark. Whichever you want to call it. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but they thrive on their AIs. Back before the war, I worked on some AI matrices myself, but something this complex? Where these mechs have their own unique personalities and thoughts? It's really amazing and I wish to shake the hand of the one that did it, really.
video;
video;
Exactly. They are a charming bunch. Mostly. There are two of them that I wonder about, but Kagerou and Shadowmaru are good folk.
