24th Scream [Video~] [FILTERED/ENCRYPTED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. LIST IS TOO LONG SEE POST.]

May 14, 2009 13:21

{FILTERED/ENCRYPTED TO THE FOLLOWING LISTS: [ Batfam list, EXCLUDING BLACKARACHNIA] [ Villains list] [also to: Dr Einstellsehn, John Cavil, Giovanni, Magoto, Balthazar, Riful of the West, Thrax, The Major]

[INTERESTINGLY, THIS POST IS FILTERED FROM THE DECEPTICONS. NONE OF YOU CAN SEE THIS]}

[Starscream is alone in his somewhat more secret lab in the warehouse. The overhead lighting is blue, and the room itself is mostly dark. Oddly, he seems to be wearing a military uniform - a dark red Air Force dress uniform, or something like it. Primus knows where he got it, but there you go. He's standing, a dark smile on his face.]

Ah.

[When he finally speaks, he does so carefully, clearly modulating his voice so as not to sound quite as screechy as usual.]

Greetings, citizens of the city. I am, as you have all no doubt surmised from my voice, Air Commander Starscream. Given the ah, incident during the week when I regained my true shape, I no longer see any reason to hide the matter. My voice is sadly quite distinctive, and while it is in my people's nature to hide what we truly are, perhaps it's time for a change in protocol.

If you're seeing this post, it is likely becuase the City has labeled you... undesirable. You are on one of the two filtered lists, or you're simply the sort to put people on edge. You are different, for whatever reason - you've caught this City's attention, in one way or another, and by proxy, my attention.

There is one thing I believe you all have in common, and that is ambition. Each and every one of you wants something that the City cannot give you, desires something that normal human society finds deplorable. That is the real reason we are on those lists - because for whatever reason, this City is afraid of us.

However, up until now we've all worked separately. Sometimes at cross-purposes. Certainly, all our ultimate goals are very, very different. What I'm proposing isn't necessarily all working together towards a common goal - splendid as that might be - but an alliance. Each of us has unique talents and backgrounds, and I am certain that some of our goals overlap at points. We do each other favors. One of us might be particularly talented in the sciences, but not a very good planner or tactician - another is brilliant at planning heists, but not very book learned. Together, they might be unstoppable.

I suppose the first question is, then, so-called villains of our fair City, besides the obvious "are you willing to participate in such an alliance" is... what do you want? A confederation of this sort must have goals, after all. And once we have goals, we can begin to work towards them.

What

Say

you~?

[His eyes glow slightly brighter at that last word as he looks at the camera and his trademark smirk spreads across his face]

I eagerly await your answers. Commander Starscream out.
