[Drift's been running a perimeter of the Badlands for a few days now, on the lookout for Megatron's mysterious attacker, as he'd promised. It's been...good, getting away, and just lapping miles under his wheels, in that almost zen-like focus of driving. And it's given him an idea.]

You know what this place needs? [He is excited so he will just rush to the answer.]

It needs a good race track. Not one of those just...oval things, but a fun one, with sharp turns and slopes and different surfaces. Like rallycross, on Earth.

Anyone want to help?

((OOC: X-23, if you want to run into Drift, feel free to action up this post!))

Someone who speaks my language, at last.

[sword_redemption]

You like racing?

[Sort of a dumb question, but he's grabbing for common ground here.]

[deadlydoctor]

Racing is the best second thing I do.

[Oh Drift.]

[raceme]

OHHHHHHHH....racing YOU said?

[sword_redemption]

I think it could be fun. Something to do to bring us together. You know.

[vandalization]

Goddamn yes! I could uh. Offer moral support?

[sword_redemption]

You could supervise. And maybe help me test it out. [You like crazy reckless driving, yes?]

[neverputincharge]

That's a good idea. Maybe an off-road course too.

[sword_redemption]

Yes. Something that could be used for training, as well as, you know, fun.

[robotfightclub]

No thanks.

[No offense intended, but she can't seem to bring herself to be very enthused about the idea. Considering the kind of bots that are here Knock Out, things could get ugly really fast.

In fact, she knows they can because she's done this before. Oops.]

[sword_redemption]

...all right? You don't have to.

[dinnerdate]

[Wing perk!]

Racing?

[No. Wait. Life is short enough already, as nice as that could be, if he went anywhere near it he'd probably be killed. Or bashed around. His wings droop back down slowly.]

...Good luck with that.

enter the Cutest Decepticon.

[sword_redemption]

Yes! Don't you think...[uh-oh] I mean, it's just for fun.

Don't you like driving?

[namesnotprowl]

Hm. I might know a thing or two about unusual racetracks. And it sounds like you could use some help buildin' it, which is kind of what I do.

[And he hasn't had a good race since he went up against Clu and Convoy back on the station. Now that was fun. For the property damage they may or may not have caused.]

[sword_redemption]

I'd appreciate the help. Both kinds.

[Practically-minded or not, everyone likes to have fun every now and then.]

A race track sounds like it could be very fun. Not that I've ever built anything, but some sort of help I should be able to give. And if it was built just shortly outside the Haven, it wouldn't be in the way of anything.

[sword_redemption]

You think the Haven would be a good site? I'm just worried about noise.

[He's the opposite of practically minded, but he does know that fast engines are noisy engines.]

[Video]

[copperkitty]

That

Is the best idea I've heard in a long time!

I want to help I'm so over this where do we start will it be a big racetrack when do we do this?

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

It's...going to be good. A bunch of others have ideas for it, and all we need is a place and we can start. [Enthusiasm is contagious.]

[docbot]

I hope that this proposed track of yours is going to have safety precautions. I do not want to be dealing with the fallout of some crazed lunatic spinning out.

[He is watching you, Drift. This is the face he makes to let you know that he is watching.]

[sword_redemption]

[S-safety? Wuzzat?]

It's supposed to be for fun. No one's going to get hurt. It's just racing.

[Following her initial encounter with what she had believed to be a Sentinel outside the strange fortress, X-23 had utilized the caverns and tunnels in the cold mountains to stay hidden as others searched for her. She remained tucked far out of sight for the first few days, especially while she had been attempting to remove her glyph marking forcefully to no avail. Her attention to that marking only waned once she came to the tentative conclusion that it holds no tracking properties based on the fact that she had managed to remain undetected while other presences passed without noticeable pause.]

[Now, after what she can only estimate to have been a full week of remaining loose, she is seeking other shelter beyond the mountains within what those of the Haven know as the wastelands. While the ice had sufficed for gathering water, she needs to find food. The combination of the cold, intermittent intense physical activity, healing her arm, and her naturally elevated basal metabolic rate had burned through her energy reserves.]

[With one arm loosely wrapped over her abdomen and the other down at her side, X-23 walks through the open expanse between rock formations. Every breath she draws is monitored for some sign of life, something that might lead her to a place that could provide sustenance. In the barren mountains where the air had been so cold, she had been unable to detect definite scents, and now, she’s looking for anything.]

[sword_redemption]

[Drift's driving another circuit of the area, his headspace filled with ideas of racing. It was a distraction and he wondered if flyers felt the same way, just that absorption of movement and concentration. ]

[He tops a rise, engine rumbling, pushing up to his bot mode to take a better look into the valley below.]

[notyourblueangel]

Heh . . . wonder if it'd be possible to arrange some kind of aerial course too.

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

You need a course? [Isn't like...the whole air thing enough?]
