[trollscream]

[Have a voice that's kinda screechy in a way. And also slightly overdramatic as he realizes what's going on.]

What?!

This is impossible! I refuse to believe something this ridiculous.

[It couldn't be real. What the journal said defied all scientific reason. Not to meantion something seemed highly off, like he was altered in some way

Nice to hear someone else around here isn't accepting this bullshit because they put it in writing.

[His rage sort of amuses her but at this point Iriel's just pleased to note that not everyone believes what they're told by their kidnappers off the bat.]

[Audio]

[trollscream]

Only an idiot would believe something just because it was written down and handed to them.

I, for one, will not fall for such tricks.

[Audio]

[rosesandlimes]

Agreed, and neither will I.

So what's your name?

[Because Iriel would like to get to know this person who, for the moment, seems on the same wavelength as hers.]

[Audio]

[trollscream]

I am Starscream.

And you?

[Audio]

[rosesandlimes]

[Special. Codenames. Iriel considers giving her codename instead of her real name, or even Fiel's instead of hers...but in the end those were meant to be used in missions in Halis. This is no where near Halis, as far as she can tell.]

Iriel. There a reason you're using a codename instead of your real name?

[Audio]

[trollscream]

Starscream is my real name.

I'm no expert, but Iriel almost sounds like a human name. Forgive me if I'm wrong in this assumption.

[Audio]

[rosesandlimes]

[...seriously?

Iriel stared at her record with a raised eyebrow. Clarifying that she wasn't human meant...]

You're not wrong. I'm human, but if you're not, then what exactly are you?

[Audio]

[trollscream]

I am a lifeform the planet known as Cybertron. To put it in simple enough terms for human understanding, I am a robot. Not like those primitive heaps I've seen developed on Earth.

Think bigger, think more.

Think amazing.

[Because in his mind, amazing perfectly describes himself.]

[Audio]

[rosesandlimes]

[A robot. From Cybertron. H'oh boy.]

Right. Prove it.

[video]

[trollscream]

[Aaaand switches to video. Thank you Ironhide for showing him that was possible in your attempts to threaten him.]

Does this suffice?

Unless you want to meet in person and see exactly what I am for yourself.

[video]

[rosesandlimes]

[Whoa.

There really was a giant robot talking to her. Score one for the robots, they at least backed up their claims of existence.

Iriel didn't switch to video right away, until she knew her expression of shock had worn off.]

Yeah, that'll suffice, though I wouldn't say no to an in-person meeting if you don't mind having someone gawk for a few minutes.

[At least she's up-front about her intentions.]

[video]

[trollscream]

[And he would never say no to someone wanting to gawk at him.]

Certainly, I would not mind that at all. Perhaps, in return you could tell me a bit more about what you know of this place?

We could exchange knowledge as I'm sure you may have some further questions about my species once we meet.

[video]

[rosesandlimes]

[Good, because Iriel is a bit hungry for knowledge of all sorts and if he's willing to dish, then who is she to say no?]

That'd be just fine with me. Where are you now?

[video]

[trollscream]

In the same room that I woke up in.

[Completely astute observation, I know.]

[video]

[rosesandlimes]

Oh yeah? And where's that, buddy boy? Caught a room number yet?

[video]

[trollscream]

Something like 3168 or whatever. Just how many rooms are in this blasted place?
