[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.]

[raceme]

OHHHHHHHH....racing YOU said?

[sword_redemption]

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

[deadlydoctor]

Racing is the best second thing I do.

[Oh Drift.]

[raceme]

Yes I _think it's a great idea.

[sword_redemption]

[Ever get the feeling you're going to regret asking a question but know you're going to ask it anyway? That's Drift, right now.]

What's the first best thing you do?

[sword_redemption]

Any idea where we could put it?

[raceme]

Depends on how challenging do you want that race track to be.

[sword_redemption]

I think there are enough of us that would like it pretty challenging.

[deadlydoctor]

[Yes, that feeling is a wise one to have.]

I could tell you. [Knockout shoots Drift an amused grin. It promises...many things.] But there might be children looking.

[Is he talking about being a medic? About enjoying dissections as vengeance? Something else entirely? Who knows.]

[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?]

[vandalization]

You sure fuckin do know how to sweet-talk me, don't you?

[neverputincharge]

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

[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]

.....[He doesn't want to know. Any of those options.]

All right then. Racing. You have any ideas for the track?

[sword_redemption]

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

[sword_redemption]

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

[robotfightclub]

[Isn't she pleasant?]

No offense, it's a good idea in theory. Just don't expect everyone to play fair.

[sword_redemption]

Whether they play fair or not isn't the point. That's their choice and they have to live with it.

This is just, well, because it could be fun to have a safe place to do it.

[sword_redemption]

I'm not trying to sweet talk you. [He sounds mildly offended. He's had enough 'sweet talk' from Wing. And it was all...yeah he's not thinking about it. Actively not thinking about it.]

Just thought you'd like it.

[robotfightclub]

[She goes silent for a moment. That's a good point and there aren't a lot of safe places to do anything around here. As much as the last racing incident still left a bitter taste in her mouth so to speak, there are worse things they could be building.]

...Okay, so what's the plan?

[sword_redemption]

Not much of a plan. I just want to see who's interested and where we could put it, first.

[robotfightclub]

...Well, at least it's a start.

[Kind of?]

Tell you what, if you can get all of that figured out, I'll help you out. ...Provided I'm not busy.

Wouldn't mind more safe places around here.
