[runningerrands]

About damn time I located this frequency. I'm sick of being stuck in this fucking room with a blanket for a bed and canned soup. Holy shit.

Any of you people know who the hell this giant robot is? His name's Starscream. Enormous chin, horrible voice that makes me wish I were fucking deaf? Yeah. Giant fucking asshole central. He didn't even give me

Comments

[Video back just in case]

[wreckerverity]

[Yeah, Verity guesses it's a little weird, ya know, all the robots and stuff. But she likes this guy already. Something about his incredible command of profanity. Stranger? Verity salutes you.]

Hey, there, Tex. You just pretty much described everyone named Starscream, ever. Think the name translates to 'schmucktard' in the Simple English.

So beyond fantasizing about indoor plumbing and such, what's up, shortcake?

[Cause she's all up for a 'rescue mission'. Well, once she re-arms the suit.]

[Video]

[runningerrands]

[Video is fine too. He does still look like he could get away with being a mech, though, what with how his suit looks.]

Oh good, there's more than one of this asshole. Fucking spectacular.

Wouldn't mind knowing where I am, kiddo.

[Video]

[wreckerverity]

[You keep that salty language up, partner, and show a predilection for high-powered firearms, and Verity might just have to propose marriage to you.]

Oh, man, you do not even KNOW. I used to work for one of them. [Urgh.]

Yeah, about that. Kinda hard to tell where you are from this end. Can you be just a bit more precise than 'room with a bucket'?

[Video]

[runningerrands]

Did he pay you in actual cash, or just an awkward part on the head?

Wish I could, but I've been in a total of two rooms so far in this place. I got nothin' for right now.

[darklydreamndex]

You sound like my sister.

[Actually Debra was even worse.]

I have a bathroom. And a toilet. The toilet works, too, which is a definite plus.

[...]

What's with the mask?

[runningerrands]

I know, I have such a girlish giggle. I get that a lot.

Awesome, spectacular. Maybe I'll get a bathroom of my very own one day!

It looks fucking cool, that's what. [He takes a moment to calm down, taking in a breath before he answers a bit more. Reasonably.] It's an engineer's work suit. Never seen one before?

[darklydreamndex]

...I meant the cursing. But yes, girlish giggle suits you too.

[I lied, maybe this... person is even worse than my sister. I didn't think that was possible.]

[Dexter raises his hands in a no-harm no-foul gesture.]

No, I haven't seen one before - does the swearing help you calm down because it doesn't really look like it's working. Breathing exercises sound more reasonable. Maybe sitting down.

[runningerrands]

Sounds like someone I can have a real colorful conversation with.

[He just nods in return. Right, okay.]

Look, I'm trying to be as fucking reasonable as possible. I've had a long week. Government conspiracies, religious whackjobs, monsters made out of corpses, and now this dumbass of a jet gave me canned food with no can opener. Every time I try to fucking open the cans, I blow them up instead.

It's been two days. I'm pretty fucking hungry and I smell like necromorph ass. But hey, maybe yoga will make it less stressful!

[aircommanderp]

What? Well excuse me. I'm no expert in humans!

You want a toilet and a bath? fine. Consider it done. You'll see.

[runningerrands]

Clearly.

Great. Do a job well done and maybe I'll wax your turbines for being a fucking spectacular host.

[aircommanderp]

You'll not touch my turbines, you pervert!

And be good or I'll leave you with the bucket.

[runningerrands]

Yeah, sorry to say, but big-chinned synthetics just don't do it for me, honeybunch.

Sir, yes sir.

[Video]

[notyourchauffer]

Seems like I'm not the only one with Seeker trouble.

Are you in need of rescue? Can you transmit your location?

[Video]

[runningerrands]

Seeker? Might want to define that.

I can't transmit a location with this thing. There's some kind of signal blocking me. Probably that blue jerk Soundwave. Honestly, I don't know if this is so much as me being held prisoner as Starscream having no fucking clue on what to do with me.

[Video]

[notyourchauffer]

A Seeker. A small, maneuverable flying-type Cybertronian. Often takes the form of a jet or other small combat aircraft.

Well... any Starscream I can almost promise you is going to be unreasonable. But... you said Soundwave? Perhaps I can reason with him. I may be able to negotiate your release.

[Video]

[runningerrands]

Great, they have a specified class. Not only is there more than one Starscream asshole, but there's a whole class of Seekers. Best news I've heard.

Yeah, go ahead. Then what? You'll keep me too? Because that's been a fucking trend.

[Video- Locked] whoops forgot to lock it derp

[ops_meister]

Dexter comm'd me told me you might want some help.

[Have a customary Jazz grin; it's all good, no need to freak out about it.]

Which Starscream are we talking about?

[Video- Locked]

[runningerrands]

[Gahhh so many robots. Not that he has a problem with it, but Starscream's not a very good lasting impression.]

I only know one. But he has a longass chin and he's burgundy. Kind of pinkish. That help?

[Video- Locked]

[ops_meister]

[Starscreams never do.]

Ah yeah, thankfully he doesn't look like the rest of them. [Good for you because that tells him who. Bad because that doesn't really tell him where so much.] He's from the Malgian universe.

Any chance you know where you are?

[Video- Locked]

[runningerrands]

They got names for universes. ...Guess it's the only way to sort everything.

Not a fucking clue, but...

[Shit, why didn't it occur to him sooner.] I may not be able to ping you my location, but you should be able to ping me yours. Can you do that? I have an idea.
