 [Hey Haven! Is your feed lacking a distinct amount of mini tank? Well this guys got the diagnosis.

Spoilers: It's him.  And he's got a question.]

Do you ever get the feeling that you've done an exact scenario before but..you're pretty sure you've never done it?


Like 99.9999% sure checked your memory banks and everything.


[Don't mind Rewind here if he looks considerably bulkier too. He had a run in with a tank. And it ate him.]

Comments

[raceme]

I think humans call that a Déjà vu.


.............Rewind?

[flashdrive]

That's the word for it? Huh.


[That's an interesting little tidbit.]




Yep. That's me! Although I can't seem to say the same about you. Have we met?

[raceme]

That's what I learned, yes. Might I ask what is giving you that feeling?

[Oh you are affected by whatever is going on too. Explaisn the change in your looks. It still makes Blurr sad and it's obvious in his face.] My name is Blurr. We are friends.

[flashdrive]

I wish I knew. It's what they call...uh...gut instinct? Like when you meet someone new, you swear you've met them before.


Stuff like that.


..We are?

[raceme]

This might be because you met them before but you can't remember it.

It's happening now.

Yes, I like to believe we are. We hang around and watch movies from time to time.

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

What scenario are you thinkin' of?

'Cause if ya mean makin' something on the Link, then yeah...

[Pausing, Cliffjumper tilts his helm as he catches onto the differences, even if he's not talked a lot to Rewind.]

Though I guess you're gonna say you feel like you've never done it.

[Thus around to the point of the broadcast?]

[Video]

[flashdrive]

Bingo on the second one.


I know for a fact I've never done it, but it wasn't...even here that I remember it?

[This just sounds confusing, maybe he should start at the beginning.]

Okay, so I met this guy and...I feel like I've met him before somewhere. But nothing on my database says I have...

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

[Yeah, that had been a bit confusing, but the explanation has Cliffjumper nodding, mouth briefly forming around a grimace. All the slag that happens around here, he swears...]

... What about the Link device itself? Though I suppose, if that's empty, maybe it's just 'bout interdimensional deja vu.

[He barely refrains from doing something like rolling his optics, because that just sounds silly.]

[Video]

[flashdrive]

The Link?

[He takes a look at it a moment, amazed.]

You mean there's stuff on this thing? Like a joint storage?

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

Yeah, basically. Public broadcast network? [Cliffjumper shrugs and rubs the back of his helm.]

Something like that. Ya should at least be able to find posts others have made, but there might be some there that explains why you're feelin' that... er, deja vu.

[skidaddle]

It happens all the time, but.

Well.

Me.

[And lately with everyone going insane and with...whatever the hell Knockout did to him...its been worse.]

I can't imagine you forgetting something, though.

[flashdrive]

...



Iiiii may or may not be experiencing this now.


...Have we met?

[skidaddle]

Have we met?

...

Is this virus catching? First Barricade, then Knockout, then Prowl...and now you.

[So this is what it feels like to be on the other end of amnesia.]

I came on board the Lost Light, where you were traveling with Chromedome. Ring any buzzers?

[flashdrive]

Yes, that's just what I asked!

[Now you're getting it, buddy.]

...uh.

You mean that Tumbler guy? Tumbler and Chromedome sound nothing alike, what is wrong with these people?

Can't say it does, we only just met. But he IS the subject of my deja vu.

[skidaddle]

I bet he would be, considering that he's probably got a vial of your innermost energon around somewhere.

Which.

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, could be very interesting for some paradox tests...

[Might want to catch him before he goes into theory land...whoops. Too late.]

Anyhow. Yes. I know you. Rewind. Archivist. Serious Archivist. Sort-of-has-to-record-everything-because-it-might-come-up-later Archivist. Recording this right now, I bet.

And as far as I know, he was introduced to me as Chromedome. What even is a Tumbler?

audio;

[stabbywheelfeet]

No.

But everyone else thinks I did.

[And doesn't he sound... happy...]

audio;

[flashdrive]

Yeah, like that! But no inkling that you might...have had something??


Done something?

[Sideswipe are you his deja vu bro?]

audio;

[stabbywheelfeet]

No.

Just idiot monkeys and Autobots lecturing.

1/3 audio;

[flashdrive]

Whoa.

2/3 audio;

[flashdrive]

Whoa.

3/3 audio;

[flashdrive]

Did you talk to Ultra Magnus?



I'm so sorry.

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

...

[sorry, he's cackling]

[video]

[flashdrive]

[...


And he just joins in.]




I don't get it. Have we met?

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

Ya sure do look different, but I recognize yer nerdy voice. A tank, huh? Think that'll help ya fight any better? C'moooon.

[video]

[flashdrive]

Wish I could say the same about you. But honestly, I've always looked this way. Maybe you just didn't look hard enough.

...



You're asking me to a fight? Really?
