[Being social was never one of Starscream's strongpoints. In fact, you could say he despised company. So what's he doing in the city, you ask? Well, being partially a scientist, there's a few things about this world that have him intrigued, one of them being the Inkwell. Creatures formed out of this mess, and if what the sign said was true, their ( Read more... )

[That was unusual. Rock was exploring the city when he happened to pass by the fountain a couple blocks away, and a casual glance up had him spotting something huge by it. Curiosity (and let's face it, experience) had him going to check it out, when he was struck dumb by the appearance of Starscream. And then realizing he was doing... something?... either to or with the Ink Well. So he approaches, looking as casual as he can, but on guard. This city and its inhabitants are mostly an unknown still, it pays to be careful.]

Hey there. What're you up to?

deceptiveplane November 30 2011, 04:17:48 UTC

[Starscream hears the voice and stops cold. Of course someone would have spotted him. He really should have come as his hologram.]

...Nothing. What are YOU up to?

[Rock stops when he's addressed. Alright. Keeping his distance from this one...]

Exploring the city. [He waves a hand with a bit of a helpless smile.] I just got here, so I was learning my way around.

[Starscream gets to his feet and takes a complete look at Rock. Interesting fellow, to say the least. He didn't seem dangerous, so no reason to put his guard up.]

Ah, I see, you're a new arrival then. Fascinating.

Did you lose something?

[ Caroline had just went out on an errand and who should she see? She moves out from behind where Starscream was standing, fully amused. ]

[Starscream's a bit taken by surprise hearing Caroline's voice, but that's just his usual sense of paranoia. Once his eyes rest upon the woman, his posture relaxes.]

Oh, no of course not. I was just observing.

[ action ] yessirmrjohnson December 1 2011, 02:19:09 UTC

Observing? [ She glances into the well to find it full of the typical ink. ]

What is it that you're observing exactly?

[ action ] deceptiveplane December 1 2011, 02:28:35 UTC

[A claw delicately dips into the fountain and scoops up some of the ink lowering it down for her to see.]

Your bodies have had your blood replaced with ink, correct?

[Hey Starscream

Hey

Hey

Hey.

Don't look behind you.

Well, it's not like it's anything you aren't used to. There's an extended moment of silence, and then-

A sudden, soft but clearly audible ping.

Oh hello what are you doing, Commander?]

deceptiveplane December 3 2011, 02:32:22 UTC

[You know that feeling you get when you know someone's right behind you? Yeah, Starscream's feelin it. His expression turns to that of slight paranoia as he turns around, jumping a little to see his spy.]

Soundwave! I-I was just...gathering information.

robocreep December 3 2011, 02:39:01 UTC

[Without telling him about it first? Now why would that be? Surely it just slipped your mind.

The spy's head inclines a bit towards the well inquisitively. Information on what now? He'd certainly like to know.]

deceptiveplane December 3 2011, 02:41:50 UTC

Now now, don't be like that. Of course I would have asked you to come, but I was sure you were very busy with surveillance.

Remember how I stated that an alternative form of lifeblood would be preferable for the droids? Well, as the sign next to the well states, Ink is in the blood of all the creatures here. Therefore it must be life-giving, no matter the race.
