[It's not often Drift loses his temper. At least, it's not often that any one sees it. ]

[You're seeing it now, his blue optics blazing nearly white, one hand shaking as he holds up some white wrapping paper and a bit of red ribbon. It's all he intends to show anyone.]

This some kind of a joke?

[If it is, apparently Drift doesn't find it very funny.]

Comments

[vandalization]

Drift? What's wrong?

[locked]

[sword_redemption]

Someone's trying to mess with me.

[locked]

[vandalization]

How? Are you hurt?

[locked]

[sword_redemption]

No. No. Not hurt.

[A sort of stubborn look because he really doesn't want to talk about it.]

[locked]

[vandalization]

Drift... look whatever happened. You can talk to me okay? I won't. Pry, but if you need to talk or just want some company I-

Well I can't walk but you know where to find me.

[winged_knight]

Drift? What's wrong, love?

[locked]

[sword_redemption]

Someone is trying to get a rise out of me. Someone who knows me really well.

[And oh, it's working.]

[locked][Permavideo]

[winged_knight]

Certainly not me. _{I have better methods anyway.} But then who?

What's happened? You got one of those gifts too?

[locked][Permavideo]

[sword_redemption]

If I knew who I wouldn't be talking.

[Sometimes, maybe it's easy to see the Deadlock in him.]

Gift. You could call it that.

[locked][Permavideo]

[winged_knight]

[Oh dear. Yes, Wing recognizes that just a little.]

Well, others have. Reactions seem to be mixed, some good and some bad. I'm suspicious, personally.

[Now even more so. His pinions ride high in response.]

But...why are you so troubled? Can I help?

AUDIO;

[thehardway]

What's the issue?

AUDIO;

[sword_redemption]

Something from my past.

AUDIO;

[thehardway]

That really can be any number of things.

...Something personal, though, I assume. Something similar happened to Blurr.

oops video orz

[sword_redemption]

Yes. Something personal.

Something not a lot of people know about. [At least he thought...]

AUDIO;

[thehardway]

I'm not sure if it's something produced by someone here. It might be best to ask the Firstforged.

[Video]

[raceme]

[Blurr makes a face at the view of the wrapped paper.] Someone played a cruel joke with you TOO Drift? I suggest to throw it away.

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

I can't. [His optics shutter.] I can't throw it away.

[Video]

[raceme]

Hmmm I understand.

In _{the end} I buried mine YOU could do the same? [Technically Ultra Magnus buried it for Blurr, but the idea is there.]

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

NO.

[He can't explain why, but stuffing something in the dirt is somehow disturbing to him. Like they were litter or garbage or something.]

He deserves better.

[Video>text ]

[raceme]

[Blurr gets startled and the feeds goes black.

He's been pretty nervous lately and this is not helping so he switches to text immediately.]

Sorry.

[aerospacecommander]

Who kicked your puppy this time?

[video]

[sword_redemption]

[Oh, suspect number one, perhaps?]

Not funny.

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

[If he knew who Gasket was, probably!]

I don't even know what you're upset about.

[video]

[sword_redemption]

Good.
[Changez le subject time.]
Did you get anything?

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

Yes. I got the key to the universe.
