[Luxord has his hood up, hiding his features completely; though those that spoke to him in the junk pile will recognize his voice. He's idly shuffling his cards, and it seems he's set the communicator on a wall or some such, as the angle's actually rather good... enough to catch both him, the extremely cozy looking (well... cozy by Cybertronian standards. with Luxord in it, it'd be more apt to call it "cavernous") nook he's sitting in, and then the magnificent view of a placid lake outside the window.]

Now, I don't know about you, but I'm actually finding this situation rather ideal. Comfortable surroundings, interesting things to explore, pleasurable company... now, all we'd need to make it complete is a weekly game night and perhaps someone who could cook, and we'd be quite, set, don't you agree?

[Flip, shuffle, and finally his hands still]

So, let's get to know each other, just a little, shall we? I come from a moonlit city without a sun, where the rain falls without end. But I'm a well-traveled soul, I must say, I've been to many worlds in my time, and I'm curious about the ones you've come from. So, then...

[flip and draw]

Tell me of your worlds, would you? I'm curious.

OH BOY HERE WE GO

[rotafortunae]

... Why would it orbit anything?

[What's an orbit]

YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE HIM MALFUNCTION

[docbot]

Because all planets circle a sun-star of some sort.

[ That's just how it is. ]

it's how he rolls mang also I'm making up some KH cosmology hurr

[rotafortunae]

... no, they certainly don't? Worlds ARE stars, each individually, everyone knows that. Suns orbit their planets, just as each world is of course suspended in a luminiferous aether...

[DUH]

like I would be able to tell XD

[docbot]

I

what

how

these are totally false statements what kind of backwater universe are you from

[ Kssshhhhht is the sound of Ratchet's processor bleeping out because of your entirely fallacious statements. ]

[rotafortunae]

What sort of backwater universe do you come from where plants orbit suns? The next thing you know you'll tell me that Shadow Corridors don't exist, that space has no substrate and that worlds don't even have hearts.

[docbot]

YES. ALL OF THAT.

[rotafortunae]

That doesn't make the least bit of sense, I hope you realize. How in the light do your worlds survive without Hearts? Surely they must have fallen into darkness by now!

[docbot]

We have Sparks that allow us to function. [ Aah, so the differences are because of organic vs. non-organic viewpoints. Obviously. Let Ratchet have his fantasies. ] Hearts are a human thing.

It's his favourite autobot medic who didn't private his reply
