[for a long few moments, there's only the sound of ventilation. fans cycling a mech's air systems. he's clicked on his radio, yeah, but now?

now he has no idea what to say, except something slightly hysterical.]

This is a lot different than I thought the Pit'd look like.

[said in the tone of someone-please-tell-me-I'm-totally-incorrect]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

I can help you with that.

[Remember him, Fortress? The mech you killed his only friend? Yeah? Huh?]

[voice>video]

[warborn]

[...oh. have a switch on to video.]

Not that I'm surprised, [assuming this -is- the Pit] but what the hell are you doing here?

[Video]

[mccrane]

I don't believe anyone has called this place by that name...

What is the Pit?

[McCrane is awake now, and disoriented by the number of new robots around, but he feels he might as well begin interacting with them.]

[voice]

[warborn]

...I've heard some people call it 'hell'. Same thing, or close enough.

[Audio]

[vandalization]

What the hell is "the Pit"?

[Missing the point, Vandal.]

[Audio]

[warborn]

Close enough to hell.

[video]

[sword_redemption]

You're looking...you've looked worse.

[The last time Drift saw him, he was storming behind First Aid, ready to destroy some Decepticons. ]

Thanks for that. Back at Delphi.

[video]

[warborn]

...

Not a problem.

[what else does he say?]

[Video]

[raceme]

Probably because this is not the Pit. This is Cybertron sir THE Acolyte didn't explain it to you?

[Video]

[warborn]

They didn't make much sense of it.

[ video ]

[lifepersists]

Fortress Maximus! You're alright!

[ Wow, another familiar face! First Aid is pretty glad to see him. ...Mainly because he doesn't remember that shooty spree. ]

[ video ]

[warborn]

...yeah, I'm fine. [said while unconsciously scratching at his chest.

there was a hole there. it's gone now. :|]

[ex_dishonestly997]

That's because it's not the Pit. If your diagnostics are telling you you're still alive, then you are.

[warborn]

You'd know?

VIDEO;

[inferiordude]

[He has to cover a snort; it's just... so adorable that you people believe in the Pit and Primus and ohmygosh.

Anyway.]

Nah, dude -- you're alive. Knighted 'con's honor! [Cheerful salute.]

VIDEO; i apologize in advance

[warborn]

[blank

stare]

Knighted what?

[noparachutes]

This place is far to mellow for the Pit.

[warborn]

So I've heard.

Video

[idle_time]

Are you thinking to yourself, this could be heaven or it could be hell?

Video oh god i love that song weeps

[warborn]

I doubt it's heaven. Or the Allspark. Whatever you call it.

[Vid]

[must_do_science]

Fort Max?

[A slight pause.]

The Fortress Maximus I knew was in emergency stasis on Delphi, last I heard. Does that, ah, sound familiar?

[Vid]

[warborn]

...I woke up.

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

They upgraded the place. Added a bit more shine. The hellish part is that you get to spend eternity around everyone you hate.

Welcome to the club.

[video]

[warborn]

...

Are there two of you?

[Video]

[ichooseboth]

...Fortress Maximus?

[So many mechs he knows or at least recognizes are showing up here. He can't help but wonder if that is supposed to mean something, if anything at all.]

[Video]

[warborn]

...Prime?

[littlecrowgirl]

Well, there's no Pendulum.

[Kay's made it a point to keep her communication device on at all times now. Because everyone here is just SO INTERESTING.]

I guess you're right on that.

[warborn]

...Pendulum?

[Video]

[winged_knight]

Are you alright friend? [He opens the video feed so the concern can be seen on his face.] You're alive, just in a new place. I had the same disorientation when I arrived.

I'm Wing. Can I help?

[Video]

[warborn]

[he'll...match the video. since he's getting somewhat used to it...]

Don't think I need any, but thanks.

[Perma-Audio]

[my_own_trope]

And yet, here we are.

[Perma-Audio]

[warborn]

Wherever 'here' is. Cybertron?

c-can I even tag in this late? ;A;

[docbot]

And why would you think that this is the Pit?

[ He sounds vaguely suspicious -- no innocent mech would assume that they'd found themselves in the Cybertronian version of Hell. ]

ABSOLUTELY

[warborn]

'Cause my first thought was that someone'd gotten a hell of a luckier hit than I'd figured.
