[She knew where, and what Ambulon was, but there were some people she didn't and she wanted to make sure they were okay. One way or another.]

Grimlock, Optimus, Kay? Whether or not you are what you ought to be, if you can reply, I'd be pleased if you could check in.

[Some people (like Ambulon) had been getting injured right at the change after all, and maybe not everybody could reply...]

[Oh, good.]

Kay. You're okay for now, then. [Elita can't help but smile, even if it's too soon to say Kay won't change because it's still going on, as far as she can see.] You're all right?

I noticed... ah, Kagerou, right? changed. How's that going?

[She nods, bouncing practically in her seat.]

Isn't this cool? Everyone's swapping bodies..sorta! I think I'm gonna be a robot!

[She's a little too excited for this.]

Oh yeah! He's fine. I fed him and everything! Just so you know, he really likes Swiss Rolls.

[No, Kay, no. Elita does manage to keep her expression fairly neutral, though.]

I... suppose it could seem exciting, but most seem to get upset. [Gently pointing that out, though there might be a small smile for her excitment over possibly changing into a robot.] Why would you want to change, Kay? I can't say I'd want to.

I see. [And there's an honest chuckle out of her.] It's good that you're helping him... I suppose it might be somewhat easier for him, since he's at least somewhat used to humans. Did you find clothes?

Well of course it's not as fun for them. They're shrinking and becoming more fragile. As a robot...well, I'd be more MADE for this place.

[Someone needs a lesson on LOVING YOUR BODY.]

Oh, he came with clothes, thankfully. Either that or he found some really quick.

That's good. Many seem to have come with none at all, or not enough.

[Then she pauses for a moment, frowning a little.]

Kay... While that's certainly true, that wouldn't help you when you get to go home. Your body is yours, after all. I can see how it must be frustrating, however.

[She really does, too. She's seen Earth, and even if this version of Cybertron is a lot rougher than what she's used to, even if the planet mostly was covered in shining metropolis, the buildings wouldn't fit humans, and food and water would still be hard to find.]

If you changed, however... what would you want your frame to look like? [Helm tilting, Elita sees no harm in indulging the girl a little.]

Hm..

I'd want to be like you or Arcee. Not too clunky. Just right. Oh, and I'd want to have an axe.

[Girl has priorities.]

[Laughing, Elita nodded.]

An energy axe isn't a bad choice, if you would want to go melee. If teh Axe has an extendable handle, you can even get some distance... Altmode?

[Probably something that could fly, Elita would guess. She wondered if it'd be a good idea if Kay got to change into something... or even a cybertronian, or if it was better she didn't.]

You know it! I think they're called poleaxes. I remember reading about them in school. They were harder to wield, but I bet I'd have more strength by then!

[Her finger taps her chin in thought.]

A stealthy plane. Yeah. Gotta be a great thief still, remember!

Logical name, and yes, you definitely would, since even the smaller ones among us, like Frenzy who's not much taller than an adult human, is a lot stronger. [Simply by materials used in their frames and the force they could produce.]

Extendable handle also means it gets a pretty good counterweight when it's short and just the handle can be used as a blade as well.

Ah, yes. I thought so. Would make it most easy to steal secrets still, too. [She can't help but laugh again, quiet and amused.] Your colours would be harder to predict, since humans have a rather limited natural palette and there's different theories what gives any of us our colours.

See what I mean? You guys are so much better than humans sometimes. There's really no comparison.

[To her, anyway. You just can't beat 'giant robot who can take bullets like rain']

Hm....what about black? Like my hair!

I suppose, but we're also similar enough... Versatility. You've survived as a species for as long as you had with that.

[But, she had a vauge awareness that the human species wasn't precisely... old.]

I could see that... and perhaps some secondary or accent colours in your favourite ones. Or they might be a complete surprise.

I guess that's true, but then again, we didn't really have giant alien robot threats like you did.

[If her race had a human threat it wouldn't be nearly as dangerous.]

Hm. I do like surprises...

No, but I would guess you had other threats, proportional to your planet and species. Earth, as I understand it, can have some pretty vicious weather.

Surprises can be fun. Perhaps green or red... Or... [Pausing, Elita considered, tapping a finger against her cheek in thought.] Hm. A bright, pale green, perhaps.

[Not exactly the shade of Kay's eyes, but her excuberant personality seem to fit that particular shade of green.]

That's true, where I live, earthquakes are really common. I guess that's not so much weather...we have drought, kind of!

...

A bright green you say? That's...pretty cool! I never thought about it like that... Would I get little wings on my back too?

Weather, the planet itself... [She nods, smiling slightly even if it's a serious topic.] You don't need giant alien machanoids to live dangerously.

[The smile widens a bit.]

I think it'd fit you. And yes, either that or on your arms, depending on the particular transformation layout of the frame.

I guess that's true. It just seems like trivial stuff compared to giant robot sharks and centipedes...

...!!

Well, we'll just have to wait and find out right? I mean, I've got to change sometime.

[That makes Elita laugh, shaking her helm.]

True enough, but extreme weather can be dangerous for us too, depending on what it is, and earthquakes or volcaneo eruptions are rather serious.

I suppose so... Not all of us have changed, though.

[It's not so much to put Kay down, as an attempt at trying to prepare girl for disappointment if she doesn't change.]

Well, not YET. But we will. It's been going on strong so far...

It has. [she grimaces a little.]

I hope to be spared myself, but it... would be a pity for your excitement to be for nothing.

[She's still not sure she understands it, but that doesn't mean she can't try to be understanding.]

Well I guess it makes sense for you. You're already a giant robot. It's hard being the smaller one.

I suppose it does. [She smiles, and then shakes her helm.] But Kay, size is not everything. I'm not sure if you've noticed or not, but some of us are half the size of those who are regularly tall...

Even if that, given, is still taller than a human.

[Pausing, Elita tilts her helm]

And it's not so much that I'd hate to be able to do less than I can now [even if that was part of it] but this is what I am... I wouldn't want that to change in such a way.

We do change in other ways.
