Good Primus above, is that really a Starscream I see on the listings! Hey, dude! What's up!
[a pause.]
Ah! Right, my name's Riptide. I'm an Autobot, yadda yadda, don't care. I just need to know now that I know alternate universes are a thing, are you Starscream, Leader of Cybertron or someone else?
[he could ask something else, but figures that bringing that leadership thing up is the way to go.]
[ Ugh an Autobot contacting him is definitely not the first thing he wanted upon his arrival here. But it's different from the normal Autobot drivel he usually has to hear. ]
Of course I am Starscream, Leader of Cybertron. Why would I be anything else?
[ He's a lying liar, of course he's not actually. But welcome to Starscream 101. ]
And what is an autobot, doing talking to a Decepticon so...openly. [ There is nothing but suspicion in his tone. What game are you playing at, Riptide? ] Please tell me there aren't...more of you around.
[ He's picked up on Knockout's signal at least, but he hasn't contacted the other yet. ]
[riptide is............. starting to understand that. slowly.]
Nope! Just me. So if you wanna murder me there's be absolutely nothing stopping you. You know what? I won't even take it personally. [he shoots gunfingers at the comm. realises that he's not even on video. oh well.] Anyway, war's over for me. As it should be for you too if you've been elected leader of Cybertron and have since given up your Decepticon allegiance to be of the people and for the people!
[he snorts.]
Life is wild. Anyway, point is I don't wanna fight, and I'm sure you have no interest in any of the crap here. You just gotta ride it out for a couple years! There's currently a super weird alternate version of Maccadams here if you wanna go get some engex! Also Knock Out, if you know him.
