[Video/voice post]
[The broadcast starts out playful enough, from the inside of Blurr's cab as he is driving home through the junkyard. The view looks backward, where some distance away a second object is trying to keep up.]
Hm? Someone thinks they can outrun me in a race? [Blurr sounds amused; he hasn’t had a proper race in some time.] All you had to do was ask! Who is this?
[Except the object has disappeared.]
...not a race, Blurr...
[The voice sounds like Skids's voice, but not. Whatever it is, it causes Blurr to slow down for a moment in recognition.]
Ski--
[He's cut off as something slams into the side of his cab. The camera goes wild for a moment as first Blurr is bowled over and then starts to transform, metal scraping over metal while oddly alien noises howl and screech in the background. There's a brief flash of something blue and Skids-shaped, but there's also tentacles lashing and a sudden jolt in vision as Blurr starts to leaps out of the way and is snagged.]
Skids, whatareyou--!?
[Then, the video goes to static.]
[A moment later, it returns, some distance away from where it last cut out. The Skids-creature can be seen far off, and moving further away on some other quest.]
[The camera holds on this for a moment, before it is shakily swung around and the video goes black again. The sound is still on and Blurr’s shaky voice can be heard. The last time he asked for help using the comm. link Starscream tried to take advantage and kill him. Blurr’s not so inclined to ask for help right now, besides, there’s more pressing issues that need to be taken care off first.]
I r-require everyone’s attention. Something happened to Skids. I think he is..I…I’m not sure. He looked like that a creature he described to me once, a spark eater.
He’s dangerous.
[And that’s all he’s going to say for now, talking would be easier if the world stopped spinning]
[Locked to Saber/ video]
[The video goes on, this time to reveal the face of a human male with bright blue eyes, despite that the transmission clearly claims to still originate from Blurr.]
I think.
I think I'm going to need some help.
[ooc: All of Blurr's replies will come an hour later once he's at Vector's, fully dressed. Feel free to visit him :3]

( video / locked to audio/action. ) how tall is human!blurr? saber's 5'0, if you forgot~
[ Who wouldn't feel less safe when in a comfortable, familiar and closed space? But perhaps Cybertronians need not that comfort when they are so armored.
There's a pause. She was about to go click off the video feed, but she remains online. It switches to audio and he can hear the clanking of her armor as she moves throughout Haven's Hub. ..Clothing. She knows she saw clothing and would simply pick out a few garments for him.
Although she says nothing more, the audio feed is still visibly on and live and they can communicate while they travel. He likely needs to know someone is there for him at the moment. Saber's able to find a pair of jeans, a shirt, and what were they called.. ah, yes, a hoody. Along with that, she picks up one of the readied sacks of canned goods with a can opener she had been preparing. There's more clanking as she goes outside, and then he'll be able to hear the crunching of the ground beneath her feet and suddenly wind as she takes off towards Vector's Temple. ]
( video / locked to audio/action. ) She's so cute and lil. He's probalby around 5.7
What is...? I didn't had those before.
[He gets distracted by the clanking and that gets him focused again. He tries to start running to the temple, as he always does, but ends falling down on his face in the process.] ..oww.
( audio / action. )
Now that she has time to think as she travels quickly by foot, the knight can't help but wonder. How in the worlds would someone change species..?
Looking down at the clothing in her hands momentarily, Saber hopes this is adequate and suited to Blurr's tastes. It wasn't easy picking out a luxurious wardrobe from the junk pile..
By time he's entering the temple, she'll only be a few minutes away. ]
( audio / action. )
[It does feel like it takes him an eternity but he finally managed to get to his room, getting in there unnoticed. The room looks enormous and he sits on the floor with his back against the bed rather than try to climb it to sit on it.
Blurr's trembling, bringing his knees up to his chest and staring down at himself. He never noticed how cool metal was.]
( action. )
There's a large bundle of cloth in her arms and a sac. As she walks into the room, she pauses heavily for a moment and then nods her head in greeting. It seems odd to see Blurr when he is.. so.. small? Perhaps? She was used to him towering over her. Granted, he was still likely taller..
Walking over to him, she leans down and puts the sac on the ground and then stands with the clothing in her arms for a moment. Going down on one knee, she holds the clothing outwards. Blurr is, indeed, naked, but seems to be concealing himself as he was cold. ]
Here you go. You should get dressed, first.
[ Setting the clothes in front of him - the shirt, the hoody, and the jeans with the crumpled up boxers inside she wasn't aware of - Saber then turns herself from him and respectively distances herself. She wasn't thinking of it, but this was only natural and courteous of her to not look at him as he was in such a state.
Saber hadn't been in Blurr's room before, but she refrains from gawking around. And putting out her hand, she swings it once to the side and the armor on her simply fades into nothingness, leaving her in her blue dress only. The knight is unsure why she has the urge to remove her own armor, but it seems proper to when the other person you are with isn't even properly clothed yet. ]
( action forever. )
He stands up and murmurs a thanks to Saber, wondering why she looks away. Blurr knows what are the shirt and pants for, he saw humans wear those in a daily basis. The boxers..not so much. Those go on top of the other clothes? Blurr has a puzzled look on his face as he holds those and then looks up at Saber, noticing her wardrobe change.]
That's a nice dress. [Why can't he wear one too? It looks comfier than pants.] Saber what are those for?
there should just happen to be a pair of glasses in his hoody. :o
Ah, that is an undergarment. You wear them inside of pants for comfort as pants can rub against the skin. There will be an opening in the garment on the front.
[ Resuming standing with her back to him, she tilts her head before speaking. ] ..My dress. I suppose with my armor over it, it is hard to notice. ..Thank you.
Oh cool. He doesn't really need them, but those are fun to wear P:
Ah, I see what you mean now... [Blurr gives the boxers another critical look and then he finally puts them on.]
I really like the color. But your armor look good too I like armors. . [He's now sure he hates putting on pants, though, it's quite difficult.] You can make it appear and disappear at will?
[Blurr let's go a brief yelp of accomplishment when he finally manges to put those on and he's standing there shirtless.]
i saw them in your icons! so i thought it'd be cool. xD
[ There's a slight pause and then a gasp as she raises a hand to her mouth. From the exclamation, especially from the ever calm Saber, this could make it sound like it was really serious, but.. ]
I am ever so sorry. In my haste to assist you, I have forgotten to bring you footwear. [ Shoes are hard to find in the junk pile, especially since you need two that somewhat match to work effectively. Saber feels awful that she forgot something so important. ] I will look for shoes for you later so that you do not hurt your feet when you leave the temple.
Yes, those look nice on him :3 Thanks!
3 years old mentality, get. ]Iamalsmostdone. [Shirt, hoodie..oh what are those things inside the hoddy? He saw humans wear it on their faces. Blurr has to remove the lenses before trying them on again, he got dizzy the first time he did that.
The gasping gets his attention and he looks at Saber, then at his feet and then at saber again.] I need something for my whee...feet? Ah, that makes sense, but don't worry too much YOU already helped me a lot. I have a few questions though...why do you have fingers down there?
[Fingers, toes...practically the same thing.]
no subject
Toes. They help give a better grip when walking and absorb shock. And to answer your question earlier.. .... my armor is actually an embodiment of my energy, so that is why I can have it simply disappear.
[ There had been a pause as she looked at Blurr rather intently for a moment, and then looked away once and then back to him. When the knight does look back to him, she smiles gently. ] I was much more concerned with your safety than your appearance when you called me, so I was unable to look at you closely then. It seems that your incident has given you a rather.. pleasing appearance.
[ Saber was well-versed in many tasks, but socializing easily was not one of them. So when she gave a compliment, it often came off as rather matter-of-fact and sometimes ruined the message. Still, as she said it, there was some color in her cheeks. She had always quite liked Blurr; they had much in common. However, she had not been able to see much in the Cybertronians appearance wise beyond their more practical aesthetics. To her, Blurr was a few lovely shades of blue and seemed very aerodynamic. It was also nice he was smaller and thus less intimidating. This, though, was different. He was definitely handsome. ]
You did mention you were cold. That sweater will help you retain a lot more of your body heat. [ Back to business, as usual. ]
no subject
Ohrighttoesof course<. That's amazing and sounds really useful. [He will never not be impressed by the sort of things Saber can do. He gets self-conscious again when she stares at him but Blurr relaxed after hearing her kind words.]...oh. [You know what Cybertronian can't do? Blush. But since he's human, he's doing that right now.]
Thank you Saber.
oh so NOW blurr knows what blushing is
It sounds as if something happened to Skids and then he attacked you. I know I asked you earlier, but you didn't answer. You are not hurt at all, are you? As a human, you will need to look after your wounds much more seriously. [ The knight walks closer to him and looks at him. His posture hints at no harm. As she stands close to him, there's something of a pause before she looks up at him. ]
And.. may I ask why you asked me for assistance? [ Saber is genuinely curious. Blurr, like most people she knows on this planet, has a large social bracket and has many he could likely rely on. Truth be told, she's honored he asked her, but.. perhaps he knew she would be in the vicinity.. or? ]
Yes. He's wondering what is happening and if he's getting sick XD
No nono...Imfinereally. My back hurts a bit because he threw me against a rock when he left but THAT'S all. [Nothing too serious, he can take it.]
I trust you, Saber, you are a good friend. And of course, human. I thought you wouldn't mind of me asking you some help.
no subject
Of course not. Regardless, the heat and redness in your cheeks is blushing. It .. is a bit hard to explain. It can happen when one is sick, but I do not believe that is your case. It often happens when one is embarrassed, for positive or negative reasons. Some people can hide it better than others..
[ The knight was not socially stellar enough to be able to hide emotions well, unless she was acting indifferent; often, that was not an act, however.. ]
..Anything else I may answer for you? I do not mind.
[ Realizing she's standing a bit too close to him, she smiles sheepishly for but a moment and then takes a few steps back politely. ]
no subject
This is blushing? I remember you blushing at the party. [He mutters, mostly to himself than to embarrass her further.] It can be controlled then?
I actually have so many questions...all looks so big, and strange, and my skin feels so weird and soft and there's those things in my...[He was about to show her the goosebumps in his right arm but now that he's wearing clothes he's no longer cold.]...they're gone?
[He doesn't notice, but he wouldn't mind of her being closer.]
no subject
If anything, this is an extremely good learning experience for her. From hearing what he is not used to, she can also learn more about Cybertronians. ]
Blushing can be controlled, but that's more .. controlling your feelings.
[ As he looks to his arm in confusion, Saber tilts her head. ..Something on his arm that would be gone? The idea quickly comes to mind. ]
Ah, yes. You were cold. And in natural defense, the body's skin raises slightly. This brings blood to the surface and helps warm one up. Humans are very temperature based. We can not handle extreme heat or cold as you Cybertronians can. These little bumps can also appear if you are frightened or excited. [ Thinking about it for a moment, Saber pauses. ] I suppose since we came from animals, you can compare it to the fur on a cat standing on end. [ Isn't Blurr lucky he has such a competent and unbiased teacher? ]
no subject
I'm not all that good at that sometimes . Is there more body reactions caused by feelings? I want to figure out all thsoe quickly so I don't get startled if those happen without my will. [He listens to her explanation carefully, eager to learn more.]
That make sense, more or less. When we get angry or embarrassed our optic looks brighter too.
[Yes, yes he is.]
no subject
Adrenaline. We feel bursts of energy and near acceleration when scared or extremely excited. I'm fairly certain you have something similar to this? It's a self-defense mechanism. Ah.. and there's another type of excitement that humans experience that can cause awkward reactions, however..
[ The knight shakes her head, her cheeks becoming the slightest bit pink. ] Since you won't be like this for long, hopefully, I wouldn't be worried about it. I think the main thing you need to be aware of is reflexes; I am unsure how it is in Cybertronians, but say a human is not paying attention and is about to walk into something. They may suddenly randomly jump or startle to a stop and feel confused, but it will stop them from walking into the object. [ It's hard to decide what to tell him about, as she's unsure what all the Cybertronians experience. ]
Humans have many self-defense mechanisms as we are very easily harmed. Make sure to take care of yourself and be careful.
no subject
[His own checks are getting reddish too, so he's not about to point that out and call her on it.]
I usually have good reflexes but in this body I can't move as fast as I am used to. And I can't feel my spark. [She probably doesn't understand the implications, but that's a huge deal for him. Blurr looks pained and one of his hand moves to his chest.] It's like the most important part of me is missing.
no subject
[ His words on her fall about the lack of a spark, and that somewhat bothers her. Because she feels humans have something like that, too, if not more so. ]
Humans have the human spirit. Some call it our heart or our drive or will. It's the desire to progress and leave your footsteps in history to come, and also more simple things such as survival and instinct. Your spark has likely been changed into that temporarily for this form.
[ Lowering her hand to her hip, Saber thinks about it for a moment. ] As much as we're speaking of the frailty of humans compared to what you are as a Cybertronians, I can only say that I know humans have progressed for so long and through so much that we're stronger than we appear. However, I'm.. not the best to exactly speak for humans, either. I'm not a normal human and wasn't for half of my life.
[ As the knight speaks about this, her voice softens a bit. She's unsure why she brought it up, but at times she feels she is a bad representation of humanity to these Cybertronians as.. she was hardly one to begin with. ]
no subject
[Sparks are very complex, it's what keep them alive, their life source and energy and their soul. Those are really hard to explain and Blurr doesn't know how to put it into words.] It still fees like...no enough. I can't really explain. It makes me feel ..alone. Away from my creator, in a sense.
[Blurr took a step closer, trying to reassure her without actually touching her.] You have no idea how many different species exist all around the universe. Humans are just one among billions. Being human or not doesn't make you less important or special. More like the opposite.
no subject
..The issue was that I was special, I believe. [ She starts speaking, her voice remarkably soft. It was rare Saber ever sounded unsure or wavering, but it was in her voice somewhat. ] When one is too special, they're inhuman or different from their species. And when you are leading, you need to be like them yourself to empathize. So they can trust you and follow you.
[ However, Saber knows Blurr doesn't fully know her situation or background, and thus he can't understand entirely. And so only the kindness of his words and his sincerity comes through to her, and that's much more meaningful to her than anything. ]
I am sorry you feel separated from your creator. That is something no words can fix, especially someone of another species. But you needn't feel alone. I'm here for you. [ That's awfully.. emotional for Saber to say, even though it's not very emotional at all. Still, she's a bit shaken - in a good way - at her core, and she wants to comfort him in response, even with all she has to offer is her promise of companionship. ]
no subject
He frowns slightly. The racer can tell now that this is some important part of who Saber was, who she is, and he wants to understand it. He thinks he does, in a way. One of the reasons why he decided not to be the head of the Police Force anymore it was because he couldn't empathize enough with others.]
It's hard to fit in as much as it is to let go of what makes you special in the first place. You told me you were a King. That must have been hard. But what makes you different, makes you beautiful. Don't let the crowd's standards define you. You're amazing in your own way, Saber.
[He smiles softly and nods wondering for how long this would last. Blurr is not sure what he will do if it's permanent but he's really grateful to have her by his side.]
Thank you. That matters more to me that you can imagine.
no subject
Blurr.. thank you. [ An awkward pause. There's a hint of tears in the corners of her eyes, but it's shaken as the knight becomes resolute again and brings a hand to her chest. ]
Let me swear my sword to you. ..I am not much of a friend, and am ignorant of such. I would likely not be a good friend if I were to try. However, I am a knight and know nothing better. At least allow me to be your sworn ally.
