[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!))

I'd like that.

But you have to rest up, or else you won't be well enough to come racing with me.

I'm hoping it reminds you of, you know, better times.

[namesnotprowl]

Sounds like a good spot.

Yep; got it in one. And you're Drift. [He's good at names.]

[vandalization]

Alright, okay, I promise I won't overdo it. Cross my heart.

It really does. Thank you again, Drift.

[sword_redemption]

I hope we can get it.

[A sheepish grin.] Sorry. I'm not good with names.

Have you done a lot of racing?

[namesnotprowl]

We'll just have to see, really.

Don't worry about it, darlin'.

I've done a little, now and then. A little more lately, against a lotta different folks.

[dinnerdate]

Not for a long time now.

Like?

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.]

[raceme]

If he says no or if we find it too difficult we can always change our mind and do it somewhere else. [He hasn't talked to Liege very often, if ever, but Blurr doesn't fully approve of his methods.]

No problem Drift.

I have yet to see Liege Maximo's Quadrant but it's fine with me. I will go check and see what can be done there.

[invisiblepinkboat]

Hmmm. It would... That would mean any of the quadrants of Liege Maximo, Nexus Prime or Solus Prime, unless we'd build some at the spot.

[She ticks the three different possibilities off on her fingers as she speaks.]

[sword_redemption]

[He nods.]

Blurr suggested Liege's quadrant. If Liege would allow it.

[S-safety? Wuzzat?]

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

[sword_redemption]

We'll find a place. I can't see why they wouldn't want it.

[..darlin'?]

Have any ideas of things we could add?

[sword_redemption]

It's...interesting. I spent a lot of time there when I first arrived.

[As Liege's Least Welcome Guest.]

[sword_redemption]

We can always put it near the Hub, I suppose. I just think it might be good to be a bit apart.

Liege can be a bit, uh, tricky to deal with.

[sword_redemption]

W-what's stopping you from being happy now?

Like. Uh. Well. Racing? Spending time with someone you care about? [Something like that?]

[sword_redemption]

Don't make me sic Perceptor on you.

[Sort of an empty threat--he hasn't seen the scientist since that, uh, that night he's still trying to forget about.]

Don't thank me. Just get better.

[dinnerdate]

Life.

[Has he mentioned it hates him yet?]

Racing would be nice, until it ends horribly for me... And most people hate me.

[sword_redemption]

'life'?

[He is so confused right now.] I think the only thing making you unhappy is you.

[Sage nod.]

....I don't hate you?

[dinnerdate]

[He vents a sigh.]

Probably. That and the fact that everything always goes wrong.

[See. Life.]

Give it time, you will.

[sword_redemption]

Does it? Perhaps it's just your perspective. If you expect things to go wrong, they will.

I don't really 'hate' anyone, though.

[dinnerdate]

It does. Even if I try and be happy it never works out.

I'll probably be the first then.

[namesnotprowl]

You never know; not all FirstForged were... forged... the same, after all.

[Yes, 'darlin'.]

A few. Of course, a lot depends on the capabilities of the drivers here and their alt modes or vehicles; I'd hate to put in 90 degree turns or off-roading sections if no one's prepared for them.

[vandalization]

Oh god the nagging not that!

I'll work on it. I promise.

[raceme]

Putting it near the HUB means that possible high on energon mechs might like to race. [And that calls for a disaster.]

Can't be worse than Megatronus, right? He tried to step on me once.
