[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]

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.
no subject
The almost tears worry him for a second, but he nods and murmurs a 'you are welcome0. He's taken aback by her offering and more than a bit touched.]
I think you really are a good friend Saber. You are here helping me, that's really important to me. I...I would be honored.
no subject
Saber regains herself. This isn't really a time to be emotional. After all, her friend has just changed species and she should be the calm one.
Blurr should know, however, no one will dare be able to harm him should Saber be able to physically intervene. ]
I brought you a sac with canned goods. You will need them to sustain yourself and .. I am certain I have heard that Cybertronians do not need to sleep, but you certainly will as a human. Perhaps you should remain in the safety of your room until we are more aware of what is going on.
no subject
Human food grows into cans too? Thanks for bringing me those but we don't have all that much food, you should keep it for you or the smaller humans. [Meaning, the little kids.]I'll be alright.
We need to rest from time to time but not all that often, some of us do it less than others. I barely sleep.
saber thinks nice shoes are a big deal
We do have quite a bit of food at the Hub, and I am so glad. Who knew this would happen? But there have been quite a few people at the Hub who often bring useful supplies they find. [ After all, Saber has been doing that for months. ]
Excuse me, Blurr. I am going to go get you some footwear and other supplies you may need. I plan on doing a few other tasks on the way, but I promise to return in the evening. Perhaps you should catch up with your friends? [ Saber truly had no idea how busy the Link would be when Blurr got on.. ]
--
[ Saber returns a bit later than expected. The knight had answered several Link calls to help people out with supplies or whatever else they needed. And she also took her time to find him shoes, because..
Well, most of the pairs were mismatched or quite in bad shape. She really wanted to find Blurr a nice pair of shoes. And she did. They were plain black dress shoes with black socks, but they'd look quite nice. She also found him a black jacket, and brought pillows and blankets. With the food she brought him, he should be set up for a while.
As soon as Saber re-enters the Vectorian temple, her steps slow down and she begins the trek with all of the supplies in her arms. With her smaller form, she can barely see above it all as it rests in her arms. He'll hear the footsteps in no time at all.
Saber is glad she returned no later. It is getting quite cold, and these large rooms meant for Cybertronians can be quite chilly. ]
Pfff awwww. Shoes are very important
Wing told me about thea pantry, I've been bringing there the food I find aroudn the Haven but I didn't know how many supplies you got. [It never seems enough, you eat like, 3 times in one single day! O:]
Ah...yes I will do that. Thank you Saber, for everything. [He gives the girl another soft smile before wishing her a good bye and sitting down. Blurr feels so weird, so not...himself. But she was right, it's time to check on the others.][
~
[Apparently, changing forms was happening to more people. Blurr wasn't sure if he's feeling relieved or even more worried. He wants to hep, but he can't barely help himself right now. He doesn't know what would he do without Saber.
And speaking of her...Blurr heard the footsteps, indeed, and he moves to the door (practically jumping sometimes, the floor is cold and he's barefoot) to open the door.
It takes him a second to understand that Saber is behind all the things she's carrying,. Blurr quickly rushes to help her, grabbing most of the bags.]
You are really strong. [That's the first thing that came to Blurr's mind when he saw her, rather than thinking she needed help because she was not all that big or anything of the sort.]
no subject
In the small sac is a pair of shoes and socks. Please put them on, they'll help you immediately. [ Saber had never thought of it before, but there was a lot of potential heat lost through one's feet. ] There's also a jacket in the bag.
[ The knight has walked over and put the blankets and pillows down beside the sac of food. Looking and confirming what Blurr has in her mind, Saber feels fairly confident he'll be quite alright for the moment. Her hand waves outwards and the silver armor disappears into the air once again; this time, she's not doing it to be respectful, but because the armor takes effort and energy to keep on. At the moment, she is feeling.. remarkably tired. Although used to running around the Haven, this on top of helping others and the rather chaotic situation going has left the knight feeling somewhat drained.
Or it may be that she usually does feel drained, but doesn't show it. With her becoming somewhat emotional earlier, her facade is a bit harder to put up at the moment. The knight still does her best to hide it, of course, but her movements will be slightly slower to the keen eye. ]
no subject
[He does as he's told. At first Blurr doesn't realize that each foot needs an specific shoes and has to switch them a seconds after he tries them on and his feet start to hurt.]
Ahthatfeelsmuchbetter...a jacket? Ohhhh...it's nice. [He's not much into human fashion, but he likes it. Blurr turns to face Saber once he's all dressed but the smile fades from his face when he sees the girl.]
Saber maybe you should rest. I've been keeping you busy all day.
no subject
[ Saber looks to the berth, and acknowledges that he would be able to climb into it. She might have a bit of difficulty, but the knight does throw up the blankets and pillows up there and attempts to arrange them nicely. ]
Sleep between the blankets. [ It'd be best to recommend he find a human-sized room, but Saber thinks he'll be more comfortable in his own room.. at least for the first night.
Turning from him, she pauses. Another trip back to the Haven's Hub doesn't sound pleasant. She does have a room in Vector's temple, but it's empty and she's never used it. It's the best option right now, however. ]
no subject
[He notices Saber almost leaving and then...
...he throws a pillow at her, hitting her on the back, but not too hard.]Ooops.
you're about to learn saber has a nasty competitive side, blurr.
A long pause. ]
Did you just hit me with a pillow, Blurr? [ The knight turns to face him, holding the pillow as she had caught it when it fell down from her shoulders along her back. ] I assume that means you know of the human custom of pillow fights and that you have just challenged me. [ The knight begins the smile, and although it's the most sweet smile that could be, something definitely feels off about it.
She begins to approach him, much like a lioness approaches her prey. ]
That's greats. So does him 8]
...Oh? [He's already reaching for another pillow.] I'm not very versed in that custom, do tell me more please .
no subject
Bopbopbop. Right now, they're just gentle bumps into his form rather than swings with the pillow. Saber can be somewhat reserved.
The side of his head, his arm, and his stomach receives the blows of three quick bops. ]
no subject
I shall never surrender! [Blurr cried out, laughing and swatting her again, this time on her legs. It was a playful hit.]
no subject
Is that so?
[ Another pillow thwap to his arm as he's driven back towards the berth. The hits are still not enough to hurt, but they are becoming more forceful. How merciless Saber could be.. ]
no subject
OhhhhHHHHHhhhhh. You're gonna pay for that.
[Except, not really because Blurr is not sure how strong he is in this new form and he doesn't want to hit her too hard by accident. He holds the pillow tightly and hits her back a few times, but he's backing away from her until he's almost pressed against the berth.]
no subject
I've driven you back; I think you should admit defeat. [ There's a smile hidden behind the top of the pillow; she realizes he's likely holding back or at least not giving it his all and although that could be an issue for her with her pride, she understands he's in a new body and .. quite gentle. He always did seem like that.
She's not lowering her guard, though. ]
no subject
Defeat is not in my vocabulary. I will change my strategy if I have to...[He held up his hands, making a tickling motion with his fingers. He knows that humans react funny when someone pokes your tummy, he saw that on earth.
He can `lay dirty too, even if still gently 8)]
no subject
You would stoop to such lows? [ Come now, Saber, this is a pillow fight. She's not really being scolding, though. ] If you attack me in such a manner, I won't hold back.
[ Unfortunately, Saber is much more ticklish than she knows. ]
