[ As the video clicks on, there's a sword. A very unique sword. Decorated and exquisite, it is not any sword, but Caliburn: Golden Sword of the Victorious.

This is the sword that Saber pulled from the stone under Merlin's guidance at the age of fourteen. This is the sword that says "Whosoe'er pulleth out this sword of this stone is rightwise king born of England" in Fairy Letters. This is the sword that made Saber immortal and unable to be harmed. This is the sword that broke in Saber's hands in the one battle she bent the rules of morality. This is the sword that Saber treasured the most.

This is the sword that Saber, the King of Knights, currently is. A gentle humming begins as the sword glows slightly, hovering above the floor in an upright position. Saber's Link device is laying on the edge of her bed and facing the sword. With the sword humming its holy tune, text appears across the bottom of the feed. The device is translating somehow. ]

How disappointing. I was hoping to become Cybertronian if I were to also be affected. So I may learn more about you all, however..

I appear to have become Caliburn. [ The sword vibrates a bit oddly with a brighter golden glow; a sigh, perhaps? ] I, luckily, transformed in my room. I wanted to let anyone concerned know where I was in case I was needed. ..I'll be unable to help should my presence be required, but I am here to answer calls. Thank you.

[ Have no idea who this is? If you have spoken to Saber before, then her name is on your device or you will recognize her device's serial number. If not, well.. ]

[raceme]

[Blurr stares at the video for a few seconds before he manages a reply. He sounds worried and nervous and he is surprised that she seems so calm. Then again, the emotion that a sword can show is pretty limited.]

Saber? Saberisthatyou?

( video/text forever )

[pendragon]

Ah, Blurr. [ The text stops appearing for a moment. The blade shimmers then, very briefly. Luckily, he likely won't realize that's the equivalent of blushing for her now. She's just embarrassed about waking up clung to him that one morning, is all. ]

Yes, it is. As I said, I'm lucky, as I am in my room. [ Saber doesn't want to worry him. ]

[raceme]

[No, he doesn't realize that. He just thinks that she's a nice looking sword.. Very impressive.]

Do you want me to come over? or _{bring you something? W..what} sort of things a swords needs to be comfortable? [Too late.]

[pendragon]

..I have no idea.

[ The sword stops humming to move around a bit. As the sword, Saber can move around quite fluidly and easily. Then the humming starts again. ]

I highly doubt I will need anything. I do plan on staying in my room, though. It is not as if I am able to do much in such a state.. [ The knight's turned into a sword and the only thing she can think of is being an annoyance. Typical. She'd rather just sit in her room, alone, if she's unable to be of use. ]

[notyourblueangel]

. . . Saber?

( video/text forever)

[pendragon]

Thundercracker. [ The sword bobs up and down as it hums, as if nodding. ] It has been a while since we have spoken. How are you?

[ Saber is the most calm person ever when involved with such ridiculousness, isn't she? ]

[notyourblueangel]

Better than you, by the looks of it.

Did you get changed into your own sword or someone else's? Or . . . do you even know?

Can you see?

[He's admittedly rather fascinated, in an almost morbid sort of way.]

[pendragon]

[ A pause. Such good questions Thundercracker had.] I'm not sure I actually see in the traditional way. I think I just know what is there to see.

[ The sword bounces up and down once in confirmation. ] This sword is a sword I know quite well.

[kingofthetvworld]

Oh no. This is really starting to make my head hurt.

[Robots and people? Fine. He could handle that. Dogs even. Swords? Now it's just getting silly.]

[pendragon]

Hmm, I don't know. It suits me and it doesn't feel too strange. [ If anything, Saber found it kind of amusing at first. ]

If you were to change, what would you want to change into, Teddie?

[kingofthetvworld]

[Oh. Well, if she's okay with it, then that's that. Some people are just weird.]

I already change into what I wanted, I think I'm good to go. In fact, I'd be pretty miffed if I changed into something else. Where would my luxurious silky fur go?! I'm not gonna bear being some other animal with their...lesser fur.

Or a sword. I don't think I could do a sword. How the heck are you gonna eat?!

[pendragon]

I don't have to eat. Nor likely sleep. [ She never had to eat before, either, so this is not new to her. ] That makes it somewhat convenient.

[Video]

[vandalization]

Well fuck!

i just. lol.

[pendragon]

Quite a greeting, Vandal. [ The sword bounces once as she scolds the woman gently. ] It's not so bad. I do not have to worry about energizing or hurting myself, at least.

LMAO I dont even

[vandalization]

How the hell-

D-

Okay.

Sure. Alright.

No that's. That's okay.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Wh-

[He peers at the screen, rubbing his eyes. The sword's talking. But wait a second.

...wait, what.]

...Saber? That you?

[pendragon]

Yes, yes it is. How are you doing, Ventus? [ The sword bounces up and down once. ]

[happyduckbutt]

I guess it got you too.

[He scratches his head.]

I'm okay. Still me, so far.

[Video] 1/3

[symmetriphiliac]

[No. No. Not him. There's no way-]

[Video] 2/3

[symmetriphiliac]

[Wait. The design is distinctly different from the Holy Sword. Its deceptive symmetrical beauty had just as memorable as the sheer annoyance of his personality.

... Well, at least things hadn't gotten that bad.]

[Video] 3/3

[symmetriphiliac]

Why would you want to be a Cybertronian, when you've transformed into such a beautiful weapon? Your hilt is magnificently symmetrical.

[Kid is oh so helpful. Then again, people transforming into weapons is a normal, every day occurrence where he's from.]

[pendragon]

[ Isn't this pleasant? Someone not overly confused or caught off guard by the transformation. ] I suppose it is, isn't it? I hadn't really thought of my 'appearance' as this. This is a sword I had known quite well for some time. [ Symmetrical? That did seem to be a thing with Kid, did it not..? ]

[Permavideo] whoops TL;DR

[winged_knight]

[ Wing was starting to wonder that if one of the bookshelves in Alpha Trion's library were to topple over on him, how long it would take people to find him. Because well, he does sort of feel buried in books at the moment. ]

[ First it was books on law the Law Committee needed to be more proactive. Then it was books on shapeshifting and transmogrification to research the current phenomena. Then it was well, getting distracted by...other things he came across. He'd have lost track of time long ago if not for Vector's blessing. He keeps forgetting to refuel and check the Link, but on one of the rare times he does...he finds this. ]

.....Saber?

[ HEAD TILT. ]

[pendragon]

Wing. [ A small bounce up and down as the sword "nods". ] How are things faring for you?

[winged_knight]

[ Wow... He is just a little stunned for a moment. It's rude to stare but he just can't help it. He's also torn...undecided if this is the coolest or the most terrible thing he can think of happening to someone.]

Ah, for me? Fine. Normal, even. _{Boring...almost.}

But, not so much for you. I would guess?
