[glacius_passio]

So who do we thank for the gifts?

[She holds up the cybernetic penguin.]

Because he's really adorable.

Also I found something rather...large out here for someone named Fortress Maximus, if you'd like to come claim it.

[warborn]

[oh hell, it's like Magnus said]

...what is it?

[SUSPICIOUS]

[Video]

[glacius_passio]

Fortress Maximus, I presume? To be honest, I'm not quite sure.

[Here, she'll just swing the video around to show you whatever it is.]

[Video]

[warborn]

Yeah, that's me.

[HE SQUINTS...and...frowns.]

...are those cannons?

[Video]

[glacius_passio]

[She grins.]

I think they are. Did someone give you a tank or something?

[Video]

[warborn]

Your guess is as good as mine. If you're as big as I think you are, though, that's an awfully small tank. [seriously what is this]

[voice]

[sword_redemption]

I think [Here he comes with A Theory.] I think that the 'gifts' echo what we are inside. Good people get good gifts.

[Video]

[glacius_passio]

Then I am all out of ideas. You might have a better idea if you come out and get it, but I guess no one can exactly force you to take it if you don't want it.

[Video]

[warborn]

Didn't say that. Just...not sure what to make of it.

[on one hand, it could be a weapon. he's been playing with them lately.

on the other...tiny...tank?]

...where're you?

[Video]

[glacius_passio]

But who says I'm a good person?

[The smile she gives him is entirely too innocent.]

Though I guess in a way it is a fitting gift.

[Video]

[glacius_passio]

[Here, have some coordinates to an area in the southern part of the junk pile.]

Shouldn't be too hard to find me.

[audio]

[sword_redemption]

Apparently whoever's giving gifts.

How does it fit--if it's not too personal?

[Video]>Action?

[warborn]

Say something if you see me first, eh? [and with that, he cuts the feed, but only so he can focus on traveling. not really hurrying, but...

he really doesn't get it. at least it's not an 'unpleasant reminder', though, from what he can tell?

he'll be there soon enough, transforming back to bipedal mode once he nears the cords and traveling the last of the distance on foot. the better to not miss it...]

[audio]

[glacius_passio]

Well, I guess you got me there.

My specialty is the ice and water. These creatures lived in the artic regions of Earth. Guess you could say it's the perfect pet for an ice queen.

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

... Is that a penguin?

[audio]

[sword_redemption]

That's good, though. That's nice.

...isn't it?

[It's surely a lot better than the severed hand of your best friend, right?]

action c:

[glacius_passio]

[Leviathan had been wasting time pacing back and forth, watching her penguin follow along behind her, so it's the sound of his approaching footsteps that get her attention first.

And ooooh man, Fort Max is so much bigger in person than she thought he would be. She stops and just watches him for a moment before raising her voice in a shout.

Hopefully he hears her.]

Fortress Maximus?

[audio]

[glacius_passio]

Yes, it is.

[Basically almost anything is better than the severed hand of your best friend.]

Did you find anything with your name on it?

[video]

[glacius_passio]

Yes, it is. I'm actually kind of surprised you know that.

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

And why is that?

ACTION!

[warborn]

[Fortress Maximus lives up to his name, quite simply. but he does hear the shout, pausing and turning-

-and then /staring/ at the six-wheeled vehicle that emits a 'beep!' not too far from behind Leviathan, and is attempting to make its way over as well.

he tilts his head s l o w l y.]

...yeah, I...that it, behind you?

[POINT!]

[video]

[glacius_passio]

I haven't really met any Cybertronians that know a lot about Earth, especially enough to recognize indigenous lifeforms from it.

ACTION!

[glacius_passio]

[That beep is a lot louder from where she's standing, and she actually jumps slightly at the noise. She moves out of its way, scooping her penguin up as she does, and stares at it.]

Yeah, that's it. Though that's definitely new.

[warborn]

[the vehicle just keeps on troopin' towards the bemused Fort Max, who's staring down at it as it approaches as if expecting it to start firing those canons. he's going so far as reaching for a gun, but...just rests his hand on the handle, when the drone settles by his feet with a final 'beep!']

Huh.

[he takes a slow step forwards, still watching it, still watching as it...well, heels. another step, then another, then he's looking up at Leviathan, utterly perplexed]

And we've got no idea who's behind all this?

[glacius_passio]

[Leviathan is really trying hard to suppress her amused smile, but isn't quite managing it.]

Well if anyone knows, they haven't told me.

[warborn]

Great. More mysteries. [he shakes his head, reaching up to rub his face]

Thanks for finding it, I guess. Dunno what the slag I'll do with it, though.
