Starscream wasn't sure things could get worse as obviously the universe was out to get him somehow. Between lunatic clones, Megatron coming back from the dead and Jetfire blowing up, life back home is not something he'd exactly call great.

But then he ended up here and ran across a weird alternate version of himself, different Megatrons, an Autobot Megatron, Jetfire somehow being alive. And did he mention an Autobot Megatron?

In an attempt to form some normalcy back into his life, he decided to claim a building (hopefully away from mostly everyone else) as his own home base. So he had a place to get away and just ... think. So people will probably find him snooping around the city in various places.

Later on, after he finds a place to call his own, he is going to try and get everything up and running. This means swiping things from other buildings. Because who wants to have a secret lair that isn't cool and has everything. Besides, he can't just sit around and let the Autobots (or anyone else) find all the good stuff before him.

So it will be possible to find him entering and exiting building and possibly picking apart electronics to take what he wants.

Starscream's lip curls up a bit at the first part. He'll neither confirm or deny it. He really doesn't consider either of them a threat. An obstacle? Sure. But a threat? No. Megatron is a threat. The Autobots can be threats. But at least with 'Starscream' he already knows a thing or two.

"I don't think so. That's too drastic of a body change for me. And I hope not, but so far that I've seen, no." He pauses thoughtfully before continuing, "Though the one ... the Autobot one seems familiar. Minus the whole weird Autobot thing. What's up with that? He fall into a magic well of goodguyness or something?"

"Hah. Yeah, you met that one, huh?" He gives him a wry, humorless grin. "That would be my gigantic grey fusion-cannon toting headache. It's a bit complicated, but basically he's sporting that badge as part of a desperate ploy to buy himself enough time to do something worthwhile and successful with his life. Y'know. Before the Autobots decide to have him put out of his misery, because he's a genocidal monster and everything he's ever tried to create has just blown up in his face and made millions of people miserable and suffer pointlessly."

His optic ridge quirks at all that. My, someone has misgivings about their former leader. Really though, he can't blame him. If there is anyone Starscream would love to see die, it is Megatron.

"Well, the whole genocidal monster thing is part of the Decepticon decree, is it not? Granted my own Megatron tends to be on the psychotic end of that spectrum. But I can't really complain, evil plots can be fun."

He shifts in his stance to a more relaxed position.

"Still, you'd think he'd want to be put out of his misery before jumping in with the happy good guy brigade."

[whippingboy]

Really dude, you're going to refer to your actions as evil plots out-loud-? Starscream's kind of amused by the bald-facedness of that statement before he remembers that he himself has referred to his own plans as 'nefarious plots' before. Jokingly! But still.

He laughs again, quite a bit louder, before his expression settles back into a kind of uncomfortable smile. "Yeah well, I may have sort of uh... Provoked, him, on that front. Not the smartest move I've made, and you'd think I'd have learned not to underestimate the guy by this point, but, here we are... with an Autobot Megatron running around, basically staying alive just to spite me."

[aerospacecommander]

"Provoking Megatron is an easy task in my experience, though it's interesting that he plays on the good side just to get back at you."

In a way it reminded him of Jetfire, only the annoying jet switched sides because of ethics and morals and other pointless ideas.

"You must have really gotten him good. Perhaps you can share that tale with me sometime."
