[Video/action] Species Swap

[gift_beyond_price]

[There is yet another 'new human' on the link people, and fortunately he is clothed. He makes a few strange expressions as he works out his human face before finally speaking.]

I... am human now, apparently.

[The voice comes over with a thick English accent but is very rough and uncertain.]

This is... Bumblebee.

I can speak like this... but... it's not... comfortable.

[While he had been speaking the area around him had changed as he made his way toward the hub, better to be in a central area if he was going to be human, and unable to get around quickly. He passed by a few things that were much larger now that he was human sized than they normally seemed.]

[Knock Out is clothes this time too, she's wearing a black suit. She raises an eyebrow at the video feed.]

Bumblebee? Oh, when did you arrive? [Yep, KO thinks you are the one from her world.]

[Video] sooo sorry for the late response...

[gift_beyond_price]

A little while ago... Who is this?

[Video] Pff, its' fine

[deadlydoctor]

Take a guess, rookie. I'm not telling.

[Video]

[gift_beyond_price]

Since you aren't speaking Italian probably not Mirage and Sideswipe has a bigger ego and at the moment, they are the only ones I care about guessing.

[Video]

[deadlydoctor]

I could speak Italian if I wanted

Pomodoro. Lamborgini. Spaguetti.

See?

[Video]

[gift_beyond_price]

Yeah... Not Mirage.

I am looking for my friends, so you know, if you don't mind, I'm going to go back to that.

[Bumblebee thinks you are beyond crazy, whoever you are.]

[Video]

[deadlydoctor]

Aw, what gave me away, rookie?

I did not know that you were friends with Mirage or his absurd boyfriend. When did you ever met them? Before you arrived to Jasper?

[Can't blame Bee, really.]

[Video]

[gift_beyond_price]

I don't know who you are, and you have no place calling me a rookie.

I have been friends with Mirage and Sideswipe long before I ever arrived on Earth, much less this place.

[Snappy Bee is snappy.]

[Video]

[deadlydoctor]

Oh, I do. You are a rookie, while I'm not.

You aren't the bumblebee from my work. [Not really a question, Knock Out's is thinking out loud. And she's so not telling Bumblebee her real name.]

I'm Tarn.

[Video]

[gift_beyond_price]

Come to where I am and I will introduce you to how little of a rookie I am.

[He rolls his eyes in response.] What gave you that idea?

Good to know, now I will know who to avoid.

[Knock Out raises an eyebrow and smirks.] I'm sure there's an interfacing joke here...

Call it she-human intuition.

Not really, you have no idea how I usually look like. You could always ask, of course.

[Video]

[gift_beyond_price]

It would be a sex joke, since humans don't interface and I have no intention of sex with you. Also, that would be women's intuition, and your's is a bit slow on the uptake.

Look, Miss all I want is to find Sideswipe and Mirage so that I don't have to go through this situation alone. They are my friend and I am from the same world as they are, so if you are mistaking me for the Bumblebee of your world, I'm sorry, I'm not him, and I would like to get on with what I was doing.

[Video]

[deadlydoctor]

You aren't my type anyway. [Knock Out likes bigger mechs, he can't help it.] And I know how they're called, it's the same thing.


This means you are also from Barricade's world, I am right?

[Video]

[gift_beyond_price]

Oh? And what is your type? So I can know what to avoid becoming. If they are the same thing then why not call them the right word for what you are right now?

[Bumblebee makes a sound that would have been an angry buzz of static in his normal body, but as a human comes out sounding like an angry cat getting sick.]

Yes.

[Video]

[deadlydoctor]

If I tell you that would ruin the surprise. Because I don't want to, simple as that.

[Knock Out blinks at the sounds, stares and then...burst out laughing.] Come again?

[Video]

[gift_beyond_price]

Fine, what ever revs your engine.

[If he could be glaring any more there would be a small scorch mark developing on his device.]

I said yes. He and I are from the same universe, but I wouldn't call it his, any more than I would call it mine or Mirage's, we are all from it, we all belong to it.
