[Open] BONJOUR, AUTOBUMS!
Who: Prime!Scream and you, and privately: Sharkatron, Dadtron and Ratchet.
What: Starscream needs some help reaching the FUCKING BOMB that's on his back bc his stick arms can't reach between his wings. Then he goes to the Autobots to scope things out and get his stab wound patched up.
When: Immediately after the fight with Dreadwing AND BEYOND
Where: Out in the wastes, and then later around the Autobot base camp and clinic.
Warnings: Language. Medical and mild descriptions of robo gore. Starscream.
1. FOR SHARKATRON
It's not as though he has been deliberately avoiding Megatron specifically or anything, but the seeker certainly hasn't been anywhere as clingy towards his leader lately as one might expect... Particularly if you take into account the ferocious loyalty he'd been demonstrating after rejoining the Decepticons, back in their own world.
There are numerous reasons for his cagey behavior, but in the end what it really comes down to is that Starscream hasn't really felt the urgent need to return to his master. Megatron seems to have little interest in keeping him on a short leash currently, there's no active war effort happening on this Cybertron (and from Starscream's timeline the war has been over for a few months anyway)... and what Starscream has felt the urgent need for is to mope about on his own and distance himself from anyone or anything that might have a chance of putting him in contact with Dreadwing.
Well, he's failed that last goal pretty spectacularly. Currently the jet is in the middle of tearing as far away from the bot in question as quickly as he can, praying that Megatronus can hold the muderous ex-con off long enough that by the time the dust settles he won't have any idea where his quarry has gone. As luck would have it, his current trajectory has put him in the right direction towards the one person who might possibly help him. Maybe. If he's feeling generous.
As Starscream approaches, his flight pattern is noticeably wobbly and off kilter, and he practically crashes at Megatron's feet, kicking up debris as he skids to a halt. He scrambles up onto his hands and knees so that the FUCKING BOMB that's latched to his back with armor piercing teeth is clearly visible between his wings when he starts begging. The words come tumbling out of his mouth: "Lord Megatron! Master, please, you must help me!" he bleats pathetically.
2. FOR DAD-TRON
So, one Megatron may have taken care of the bomb, but that doens't solve all of Starscream's problems. There's still the matter of the stab wound in his right wing that Dreadwing so generously provided him with in their last scuffle. It still drips bright blue energon here and there, but the more important issue is that Starscream can't fly properly like this. He can still get airborne, but having a gaping hole in one wing isn't exactly conducive to achieving the speed and agility that the seeker is accustomed to.
It's with great reluctance that he heads back out into the wastes on his own. The Megatron he knows is, after all, not even anything remotely resembling a medic, and would be of little use in this matter even if he was inclined to lend a hand. And Starscream very much doubts that he is.
His caution is at an all time high when he arrives in the general vicinity of the Autobot clinic. Not far from here is where he'd last run into Dreadwing, so the stakes are high and Starscream isn't about to take any chances. As long as he avoids running into Dreadwing again this should be easy, right? He just needs to locate an autobot and look and act pathetic enough for someone to finally have mercy on him and lead him to the right person to patch his wing. Yeah. Easy.
3. FOR RATCHET
Someway, somehow (witchcraft? bribery perhaps?), there's a Starscream in the clinic, and he's waiting to be attended to. Someone has apparently forgotten to put his falconing hood on too because he's fidgeting incessantly in the corner while he eyes up his surroundings with an unpleasant scowl. Rationally he knows that he shouldn't have to feel too nervous, because it's hardly as though anyone has officially and actively set up a faction divide on this Cybertron, but at the same time if anything that makes the whole situation all that more unpredictable.
Ratchet's name had been dropped on his way in here. Starscream can only hope that fate has led him to a different Ratchet than the grumpy, horrible one that he's familiar with, because he hasn't exactly got any juicy information to offer the old geezer in exchange for a medical kit this time.
4. OPEN TO ANYONE
Once all repairs have been made, Starscream will be hanging around the general vicinity of the base camp for a while. Watching. Waiting? But not in an ominous way, because he has no schemes cooking for now. He really should be getting back to Megatron, but frankly he's in an odd place lately, and unusually willing to entertain his curiosity about what kind of set up the Autobots have going here. If he likes what he sees, he may stick around for a while, for safety's sake. Wouldn't that be unfortunate for everyone else?
(PM me if you would like a more specific starter or if you'd like to plot anything. Otherwise go for whatever you want.)

The seeker takes half a step back in surprise and rumbles slowly: "Oh yes... 'Sentinel Prime'."
Better play it cool. If he doesn't act guilty then maybe he won't draw attention to past events. "Somehow I hadn't quite expected to cross paths with you again, I'll admit. Trouble with some shrapnel?" he gestures at the metal.
no subject
"Yes... I had hoped someone would've swatted you by now." Despite the fact he's in literally no position to aggravate Starscream... he still does. Fantastic, amazing.
At the question, he scowls and throws it aside, "No."
no subject
Fortunately Starscream can't really afford to start shit either, being basically in the middle of an Autobot nest.
no subject
"Poor Decepticon, life must be so hard for you. I can't imagine the disappointment you must feel on a daily basis."
no subject
The seeker recoils with a repulsed sounding snarl; the insult doesn't even register in his mind. 1-2, Starscream slaps the offending hand away with his left, and. Well. Forget playing things safe, that right there is grounds enough for full on five-taloned slash, which he delivers quite liberally across Sentinel's BIG DUMB FACE. Good thing he put that mask up.
no subject
Good thing indeed, while the slash leaves a few deep scratches, he doesn't back down. Sentinel isn't sure what he's doing or where he's intending this to go. He makes a flicking motion with the hand that was batted but doesn't actually make contact.
"Careful, now. I wouldn't want to have to retaliate."
He did miss being able to be an utter shit.
no subject
"Retaliate? I'd say you you've already made the first move by daring to laying a finger on me," he hisses, watching that hand. He wants to rip it right off that stupid wrist.
no subject
Instead, he folds his hands behind his back, leaning in a little closer and cocking an optical ridge, "I had no intent to draw energon, unlike your little scratch."
no subject
"...Or indeed, when one simply invades my personal space. Old habits die hard, after all. That little scratch was your fair and clear warning: Keep coming closer, and you'll see what happens when I really want to put my claws to someone."
Srsly bruh back off, he;s not up for torture subject adoption. You can't do this to him, he killed an Autobot once,,
no subject
He leans back, tapping his chin like he's actually mulling something over.
"Perhaps I'd actually feel it..."
Where's the closest robot locker, he's gonna throw you into it, NEEEEEERD
no subject
This guy is infuriating, but Starscream at least knows better than to rise to that challenge so easily. He hunches up, wings stiffening up over his head, and glowers. "You are more than welcome to pursue that curiosity. Just give me a reason to demonstrate."
gggggod i love that icon. god.
He retracts his mask, shrugs casually. "Go on, then."
(B ITS A GOOD ONE
ur a good one
"Hmm. Thought so."
no subject
no subject
He frowns lightly. "Starscream, was it? I think I managed to catch your name over the deafening sound of you failing to dispatch of me the first time we met. When you had all those missiles."
no subject
"And yes, that is correct."
no subject
"Remind me of your rank. Where in Megatron's army are you, exactly?"
no subject
no subject
"Hm."
And with that mildly pensive grunt, he turns away. Going back to whatever hole in the ground he's dug himself, if Starscream doesn't stop him.
no subject
"Yes it was TRULY A PLEASURE catching up with you as well," he hollers after Sentinel sarcastically before getting back on his merry way.
"Garish, holier-than-thou idiot."
no subject
He also grins slightly, knowing the seeker would never see it.
