video | originating in the Junkpile

[The video feed is... bouncing. For lack of a better word. In and out of the snow piled up amongst the odds and ends of the Junkpile. It's bouncing, because someone has discovered the wonder of playing in snow.]

[As a bird. Yes, that's right, there's a robotic bird-slash-pterodactyl hopping about the snow, its optics flashing. It fans out its wings, shedding snow everywhere, and generally looking pleased.]

Vandal! Kay! Look!

[Oh. It's just Kagerou.] Look, there's snow! Isn't it...

[He trails off, before his form shifts, becoming the robot the Haven is likely more familiar with. He steps over to something unseen, frowning, as a voice is heard -- in Japanese, but still:]

One minute left until the light turns yellow...

[His frown turns into a scowl. He reaches over, tearing paper.]

[It's... a stoplight.]

... why are you here?

[The stoplight merely repeats its cheerful message about the light being yellow before the feed is cut.]

[It's been a while since Drift's seen one of those. ]

Let me guess. Mysterious unwanted 'present'?

... Yes.

Something like that.

Me too.

Like someone knows more than they should about my past.

I... yes. That's exactly what it's like.

And the First Forged are being quiet. So we don't know who's behind this. Who...knows.

Well...

Maybe... some others knows about this. They doesn't seem the type to play a joke.

[And Deckerd is gone. No one else was there that day. Yuuta wouldn't do this. McCrane... does he even know how to joke?]

It's like that human holiday they were talking about, though. Weren't there supposed to be presents?

[Just not...horrible ones.]

That's what I thought.

It was supposed to be a good thing.

Maybe it is for the humans.

Maybe it's us, sort of skewing it.

Or that Unicron they talk about.

Or.

[Or anything other than it's some divine judgment on how far Drift had not come.]
