When: Nowish
Who: Starscream and OPEN
Where: Market Place
What: Starscream is going to lurk around and see if he can nab anything useful for his own personal gain.



Starscream had to admit he was almost impressed at the large selection of products held within the marketplace. Of course, it was probably only natural considering all the various species who lived here. This made things both interesting and difficult.

He's going to have to get a bit creative when it comes to parts that he needs. Which actually wasn't the difficult part ... what was difficult is the financial side of things. He could barter like the best of them, but he had a feeling he's going to have to resort to some unethical methods for some stuff.

Not that he'd do it personally, but he could probably manipulate someone around the station. Already that Loki kid needed his help, so perhaps in return ...

Well, he'd have to think on that.

For now he decided he'd wander the various booths and sections to see what kind of energy sources are readily available.

And then he stops to stare at some fuzzy looking animals of a species he never saw before. They were round and had no facial features whatsoever. So maybe scientific curiosity got the best of him. And maybe he might have accidentally knocked a random organic into the cage just to see if the creature had some sort of hidden mouth and would try and eat the person.



(ooc: I'm fine with prose or action brackets. Hit me up with either.)

Maybe your shot wasn't as good as you originally believed.

[He's going to totally take a step back after saying that. Just to get put of immediate arm reach]

[sorrynotguilty]

Do you doubt me Starscream?

[ that's a very dangerous tone there. ]

[aerospacecommander]

... Well, he is still alive and all -- as you said.

[Oh boy. He might need to find an escape route here shortly. Megstron is getting that angry tone about him.]

[sorrynotguilty]

I have also grievously wounded Optimus Prime several times over. He still lives. Some are simply meant to.

[aerospacecommander]

Or you're not actually going in for the kill ...

[Oh. That one. He probably shouldn't have said that]

-- Not that is the case in your particular instance I'm sure.

[sorrynotguilty]

Considering where I am at this juncture in my life, I believe that it is a good thing, despite my efforts, that they have lived.

[aerospacecommander]

You know that's something I never thought I'd hear any version of you say. 'Boy am I glad I've never been able to off Optimus Prime.'

[The more he's around this Megatron, the more he doesn't understand him]

[sorrynotguilty]

[ slow grin. that is a very devious one at that. ]

Well. If I had, then he couldn't have handed me my 'verdict' now could he?

[aerospacecommander]

That's not the point. But I'm not even sure what the point is anymore.

[What is going on any more? He was just attempting to find stuff in the market place and then harass Megatron. And Megatron is strange and how did this conversation even end up where it has]

[sorrynotguilty]

Some conversations don't have to have a point. [ a small, small smirk. ] Of course the whole point of my conversation with you is being met so I'm not overly concerned with what you think the point is.

[aerospacecommander]

Really.

[He looks at Megatron with a really suspicious gaze.]

And what 'point' where you going for?

[sorrynotguilty]

Getting a feel for you.

[aerospacecommander]

You might think you are. But you'll never really know.

[Starscream smirks at Megatron. He strives on being unpredictable.]

[sorrynotguilty]

You may end up somewhat surprised or perpetually freaked out. Either way, you'll find it out on your own.

[aerospacecommander]

So you say.

[Like he really wants to get to know Megatron anyway. He should just walk away now, which is what he is telling himself. But he still finds himself standing there.

Probably looking stupid.]
