[ That is one big pod, for a very big guy inside of it; a very disgruntled Decepticon has found himself far from his cave in Jasper. He already is dealing with being in exile, and a night in shut down mode to conserve energon had him with his guard down.

When he wakes, he snorts, and he cringes at the lack of space in the pod. ] Drats! [ He shouts out, as he reaches his slender fingers up to push the pod up and he sits himself up. ] So, I'm not off line, and that is a very good development. [ He grabs hold of the videophone, waggles his fingers and he goes to announce his presence.

This entire thing might be good; he might be able to rule, whereever this is and without Megatron to screw things up... He smiles at the thought crossing his mind, but the smile fades when he knows that every place has its fair share of heroes. ] Drats... [ But he quickly composes himself, and then goes to announce his arrival. ]

Hello... [ He taps the camera with a finger. ] Can anyone hear me? I believe I have arrived here by mistake.

[ Starscream tilts his head to the side, with a finger going to his lip. ] Do they now? And there's no princesses?

And what does one want with a princess? [ He blinks his eyes in confusion. ] I'm sure they are far more trouble than they are worth.

Wha- Whossa- Trouble? No! No! Princesses aren't any trouble! They're beautiful, they're delicate, and they're so soooooft...

[He strokes his big white beard in glee, petting along it as he beams so happily over the idea of a Princess.] Princesses are great! No, you see, what the 'trouble' is, is the the goodie-goodies that hang around 'em all the time.

You take one Princess away to woo them and suddenly they come-a-running! I mean, yes, sure, I might've broken into their bedroom and technically "kidnapped" them, but that doesn't mean those "heroes" can come and "kick me in the breadsticks."

[He takes a deep breath and sighs.] Good times...

[ Starscream listens to the creepy little guy go on about princesses. He just cringes in response, and does his best to shift the topic. ]

Heroes. Of course, there has to always be heroes... But I'm sure this place is crawling with plenty of princesses for you to kidnap, and...

[ He waves a hand in the air. ] ... do whatever it is you do with them.

So just, who are you?

[simon_petrikov]

Oh, of course, I'm not in Ooo anymore - nobody here's heard of me. Well! I'm the Ice King! Ruler of the Ice Kingdom and all around great guy, heheheh! And who are you supposed to be?

[masterofdeceit]

A king eh? [ Starscream rubs his chin. ] I am Lord Starscream of the mighty Decepticon Empire!

[ Where there is no Megatron, there is no harm to reuse the title. Oh how smug he looks about reusing it once more. ]

I am a fair and honest ruler, and I do know how to throw the most magnificent parties.

[simon_petrikov]

[Even if Ice King has no idea what a Decepticon was - nor anything about Megatron - even he has a hard time believing that Starscream was a Lord of... well, anything. He rubs his chin a little bit, bristling his beard as he ponders.

At the last bit though, a big grin spread across his face.] Ohhh! You're a party machine! Hey, me too. Oh you should have seen the last party I threw! All the important penguins were there.
