EVERYBODY RUN

WHO: DW!Starscream and OPEN
WHERE: All around outside, going from place to place.
WHEN Right after the event starts and he manages to make it out of Megatronus' temple.
WHAT: Giant Starscream.
WARNINGS: ... Giant Starscream?


Starscream expected a lot of things. Jetfire blankly staring at him over something he said. Someone hanging up on him over something else he said. People not trusting him over who he was. People finding him incredibly handsome.

The usual sorts of things.

He did not expect to come out of recharge and find himself to be twice as big as usual. At first he considered that the room shrunk but that was just a silly idea. And he considered calling (Jetfire) for help, but after a strange and rather awkward struggle he managed to make it out of his room.

And then out of the temple.

He didn't know how, or why, but his first actual thought was:

I could crush Megatron at this size.

Sometimes he did have a one track mind even if his own Megatron was dead (as far as he knew). Still, while he was confused, he was actually almost happy. Those (Jetfire) who used their size against him before, couldn't anymore and he was totally going to take advantage of it.

So anyone who happened to be outside at the time of his wandering would not only clearly notice a giant Starscream, but one who was laughing maniacally to the sky.

Because now, size was everything.

That they were going to explore at least one of the structures visible on Skyfire's map - if their existence bore out in reality - was now clear. The only thing left... was to go find Starscream before the fact and ask why he was so firm on coming with.

Not that he minded or anything, but he'd have thought Starscream would, at most or at least at first, have been a lot more needling and coy about not wanting to come.

Something else was odd as well; Starscream's new penchant for rather close-up video. He usually chose a wider (more dramatic) angle, so why...

Laughing?

Jetfire glanced upwards towards the starry sky as he first heard the laughter and wondered what Starscream had stumbled upon now for that sound to be coming out of him--

And then he just braked right there, jerking himself to a stop and transforming to make sure he wasn't just seeing things.

That was...

Starscream?

Staring at the... ahem, larger than life Starscream, slowly gathering his expression into a more gathered one, Jetfire wasn't sure what to think. He must be at least... Vector Prime's height? And laughing like a glitched-out processor, but it wasn't too hard to figure why Starscream might be laughing, considering his size.

"... Are you sure you should unquestionably enjoy whatever happened to make you this tall?" Jetfire flew closer before he spoke, and then landed, still utterly bewildered over the fact that he basically didn't even reach Starscream's waist when standing on the ground.

What was going on?

Grimacing as that hand descended, it did at least not do any damage; there was more pressure than Starscream probably intended but indeed nothing broke.

"I'm rather sure the Firstforged could if you did something to alert their atten--- Starscream..!" He backed up and away from that hand, but he hadn't expected something like that to happen.

Obviously, though, he should have.

"Even if I can't, would you be willing to listen and put me down?" Drumming his fingers on the closest finger, Jetfire managed to merely sound faintly long-suffering, the rest of his expression collected as he looked up at Starscream... Though, "thanks to" the Seeker, at less of a distance compared to when he'd been standing on the ground.
angleofscience: (no means no Starscream)

Revenge for something you brough onto yourself, Starscream!

Since he wasn't currently inclined to fight free; there was no reason for it, and while Starscream was being annoying, he wasn't hurting him. Rubbing a hand over his faceplates, Jetfire allowed a single static sigh to express what he felt.

"Probably not, as they've been very hand's off so far, and even the... er, goings on at the moment haven't appeared to attract any attention as of yet..." He didn't really appreciate the way his legs hung free in the air as it were at the moment, but anything else would require a different position or kicking the Seeker carrying him.

"Starscream, honestly. For how long are you going to do this?" It was hard not to squirm, but in the end he managed to keep it to just twisting in the hold, attempting to get a better angle to look up at Starscream.

"Until you... Starscream." That was a groan and a chuckle in one, laced together over two different pitches, perfectly counterpointed. Sometimes, there's no other way to react to his frustrating Seeker as he rested an elbow on Starscream's arm and hid his face in that hand.

Grunting softly as Starscream decided to move him again, and this time attempting to keep his chosen position and spot (slightly unsuccessful), his amusement was tempered by the fact that Starscream apparently thought this was an excellent time to go flying. With him still in his grasp.

He wasn't sure he liked this plan.

"... I'd wonder, between the two of us, whose ego is the largest, and considering yours isn't the only... curious thing to have happened recently, I doubt it's anything relating to our usual size difference." Jetfire pushed at the arm keeping his trapped as he'd really rather fly on his own.

Not that he didn't trust Starscream to keep him marginally safe like this (especially as he could fly on his own if dropped), but that wasn't the point.

"Are you quite done? I'm sure we could do something more interesting than you carrying me all this time."

That was-- unexpected. Mostly because he's thought it'd take a lot more to make Starscream release him, but it didn't matter really. He hadn't even fallen his own length before flight systems started up and stopped his descent.

/Not in that direction, anyway./ Jetfire said with a shake of his helm - mostly to himself, since Starscream had already shot off. In an absolutely randomly chosen direction. Was he even considering which Firstforged Skyfire was marked by and thus where he might be likely to be unless he was out and about?

Jetfire just crossed his arms over his chestplates and waited.

Drifting close enough to be able to reach out and lay a hand against the very large nosecone, Jetfire just shook his helm. He vaguely wondered if Starscream had taken off just to flex his new systems as it were, or if it was just his usual tendency to go off when he didn't already have a plan.

"I'll ask where he is, but you could do the same you know. Are you having fun?" Stalling? Maybe. Not that he wasn't intensely interested in what Skyfire had found as well, but despite the particular little annoyances being in Starscream's precense brought - especially now, as he'd noticed - Jetfire didn't (couldn't) really mind.
