[young_upstart]

Err, yeah- so I'm glad that's over.

[He looks a little sheepish as he rubs the back of his head.]

Also, just wanted to say sorry for any damages I...may or may not have caused to the roads a while back. Guess that includes any accidental skidding due to ice. Yeah, thank the pillar thing for that one.

[redshirtrobot]

Oh geeze. Well, are you all right, at least? The roads can be fixed a lot easier than you.

[young_upstart]

Me? Oh yeah, I'm fine- especially now that I'm not freezing everything I touch.

[redshirtrobot]

Of all the things for the pillar to do... freezing things is not one I'd expect. I'm just glad you got out of it okay, that sounds terrible.

I'm Fracas, by the way. I'm part of the road crew.

[young_upstart]

Me neither, but then there were some pretty crazy things that happened to the others, so far as I'd heard.

Road crew? Well like I said, I really hope I didn't make a mess of anything out there. That ice did a number to metal as it was... Name's Hot Rod.

[redshirtrobot]

Same here. I'm pretty sure I'm glad I stayed up here instead of going down there.

It's all right; if something happened we'll patch it up. We'll have to take a look at it later anyway; the storm when the pillar dropped in might have done some damage too and we haven't been able to take a look yet. It nice to meet you, Hot Rod.

[invisiblepinkboat]

So that was you?

[She shakes her helm.]

I use hover, so it didn't affect me, but the random spots of ice nowhere near Liege's were curious since we haven't had that happen before.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

Yeeeaaaah... [Oh scrap, guess she probably saw the angry icy donuts then.]

Um, good to know, though.

Re: [Video]

[invisiblepinkboat]

[Maybe one or two. At least they were sort of artistic??]

Hopefully no one else drove right onto them though, but considering you didn't have much control over it, I am assuming, you could hardly be held at fault.

Even if you caused it.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

[Yeah, we'll stick with that.]

I got a little frustrated about it, but I hope it didn't cause anyone else trouble.

[Video]

[invisiblepinkboat]

I think someone would likely have complained about crashing from driving off an ice-slick if it had happened, especially as they were oddly placed and clearly not caused by something natural.

[She smiles, a bit dryly.]

And otherwise, you're all right?

[Video]

[thankyou4myheart]

Oh, is that what happened? Pillar after-effect, I take it.

[Because, yeah, he was one of the unfortunate ones to drive over a sudden, unexpected patch of black ice - yipes. @.@]

We never really got to meet properly. My name is Deckard. Pleased to meet you.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

[hgaiojgejf He is SO sorry.]

The effect I was stuck with, yeah. Um. You didn't, er...

[Subject change? Excellent!]

-oh right! I guess we were all kind of in a hurry at the time. Name's Hot Rod. Nice to meet you too, Deckard.

[Video]

[thankyou4myheart]

[He chuckles, waving a hand.]

No permanent harm done. It's fine.

Hot Rod. [nods acknowledgment] You're okay now, I take it?

[Video]

[young_upstart]

[That's a yes, then. Hot Rod runs a hand over his face, although not in the same manner that Kup or Ironhide would when dealing with him.]

Good to know at least. I'm real sorry about that.

But yeah, all better! No more insta-freezing everything I touch. You didn't get hit with anything weird too, did you?

[Video]

[thankyou4myheart]

Don't be.  I know that wasn't your fault.

  Surprisingly . . . no.  I'm grateful, though I feel bad for everyone who was affected.

audio;

[arnhaid]

Glad you're back on your feet, kid.

And, y'know. Not skiddin' around.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

Hey, can't keep me down.

Skidding was never a problem- it was just trying not to touch anything for too long that I was more worried about!

[Video]

[arnhaid]

Skidding kinda implied the whole... cold problem, I thought.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

Well, not quite for me at least? My tires were the things leaving trails, so I was more worried about anyone that might've been using the roads after me.

[Video]

[arnhaid]

Still, someone could've slipped, so...

...

I'm not havin' an argument about slippery tires.

[skidaddle]

As far as I'm concerned, it could have been a lot worse.

...

On the other hand, ice driving sounds like it would be an exciting sport.

[young_upstart]

Well yeah, but I'd rather not think about how much worse.

I think these wheels will stick to regular turf though.

[skidaddle]

If only we had that luxury.

[He'll spare you the 'I've got mouth tentacles' description.]

Really? Where's your sense of adventure?

Or are your tires starting to get as threadbare as mine?

[So many medics and no good cyber-rubber factory.]

[young_upstart]

Unfortunately. Hey one can hope though, right?

[...yeaaaah, he'd be thankful for that.]

Getting there, I'm sure. We don't have any stock somewhere around here, do we? Or is it a matter of digging around the pile?

[skidaddle]

I've been checking the pile in my spare time. So far I've found a few good tires! IF you want 16 inch rims going on the same axle as 20 inch rims.

[Which is a bit to adventurous for him, even.]

Good job, by the way.

[Its a sudden switch in topic, but he means in regards to taking care of the Pillar.]

I'd have gone if I could have.
