Okay. So, just so that I can make sure we're clear here: I just got dragged through some kinda... weird, confusing time-space tear or some other really confusing shit, and I'm now completely stuck on a... a primordial machine-planet named Cybertron? Like, I'm surrounded by giant robots and some other guys that got pulled through? That's what's happening here?

[The boy on the Link pauses for a long moment, his initial expression one of bewilderment -- although the fact he was very upset just a few moments ago is underlying -- before breaking into a giant grin, revealing his rows of gnashing, shark-like teeth.]

That is so fucking cool. Like, legit! This is an honest-to-God or whatever alien planet?! Life dream, consider yourself completed!

[He almost drops his communicator in his excitement, his words tumbling out at a mile a minute. Finally, he remembers he's talking to people and laughs, a little sheepishly.]

Sorry. Got a bit excited there, this is just so awesome. Uh, anyway... [His smile shrinks down to a smirk.] This might be kind of pointless, but I might as well see if there's anyone I already know here -- from my universe or world or whatever. So! First things first, I'm lookin' for two guys. First guy's really pale, black hair, dresses like a hipster douche? His name's Conrad, I think, he's British as all hell.

Second guy's kinda short, red hair, glasses -- looks like a real geek. Some kinda 'paranormal investigator' or whatever. His name's Hanna -- his. Might be seen around with a zombie and yeah, I know that's technically three guys but whatever. You seen them, or if they're here -- call me back, right?

[He goes to turn off the feed... but pauses. His expression completely sobers up, darkening into something very much hurt and a teeny bit malicious.]

Oh... and if anyone knows a guy named 'Tibenoch'... point me to him.

Giant robots are always sweet.

Brave Police, huh? So you're... some kinda a cop-bot?

[That's even cooler.]

You could say that! I deal with the law enforcement back in Japan. But I'm also part of the Build Team.

[Obviously.]

Oh! Sweet. Police-bot.

Sooooooo, Build Team. You do construction too, then?

[Hope you like the Q&A, PJ. He's just really fascinated!]

That's right! I'm a power shovel!

[He'll just kneel down to you now, Veser, holding out a hand.]

I don't suppose you like joyrides, eh?

Wicked.

[He grins at the question. Not really sure if PJ's hand is an invitation or just a gesture, he just steps forward.]

Can't really say no to 'em!

[Before Veser can finish that sentence, PJ is already in his power shovel mode.]

C'mon, kid! Let's take a look around!

[Oh wow, that's his ride? Veser nods and, after a moment of figuring how this works because he's never actually been in a power shovel before, climbs inside and settle in.]

Alright, you've got the wheel.

Hope you like fast, because that's the only option I have!

[That's a lie, but he sounds cooler this way. The power shovel's controls move, and those treads take off, maybe a little faster than safety protocol dictates.

WHOOPS.]

[He didn't even know power shovels had speed regulations, so PJ's secret is safe with Veser.

Besides, he's mostly just kind of geeking out over the controls moving by themselves.]

Hope this place doesn't have speed limits.

Me too. I'd hate to get pulled over by my own team, haha!

[That doesn't stop him from having a good time though.]

Let's see....we'll go to the Solus Quadrant first. That's where I am.

Sounds good to me.

A team...? Some kinda kick-ass crime-fighting force?

Just like that! We're the Brave Police!

and Kagerou.

[He doesn't count Kagerou as part of the team just yet. Gotta initiate him first. The newbie.]

Ah, right. Why not, uh... Kagerou? [He messes up the pronunciation a bit -- ]

Wait. Are you all giant transforming robots?

Kagerou. [He sounds it out for him.]

He's new. You know, has to be intergrated completely still. Right now, he's still acting like a big shot loner.

...

Well yeah! Except for our boss.

Kagerou. [That sounds better.

Veser makes a thoughtful noise.] Right.

Your boss?

Edited 2013-04-14 15:21 (UTC)

Yeah, my boss is Yuuta. He's a kid too.

[He says this so casually.]

You... work for a kid?

[Giant robots working for a kid? That's... odd. But then again, giant talking robots in general aren't exactly commonplace where he's from.]

You bet I do!

[And he couldn't be more proud. Yuuta was definitely responsible for a ten year old.]

He works for the police force and everything.

[That's actually kind of really cute -- although the idea a kid on a police force is a bit of a stretch. Then again, PJ's calling Veser a 'kid', so maybe this Yuuta is about his age... either way,]

He must be livin' the dream.

You bet! He's the coolest kid in his school. Then again, all the kids there are pretty cool.

[Anyone who thought his kung fu was the bomb was okay in his book.]

Are there robots in your world?

Hehe. Ah, can't say we have do. At least, none of the giant, transforming kind. It's kinda lame, now that I look back on it.

Yeah, that does seem pretty lame.

[Lame is now his favourite word. Thanks for teaching him, Veser. He probably doesn't even know what it means.]

Well, you can pal around with me!

[Veser: extending people's vocabularies in the worst way possible since the 1990s.

Power Joe's offer pulls a smile from the half-Selkie.]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

So what else is interestin' around here?

...You know, I couldn't really tell you.

I haven't really explored much around here. It's been work, work, work...and then I got turned human.

You guys make weird things to eat.

Oh. Well, hey, we could probably just wing it, check stuff out as we go.

[What can he say? There's something fun about riding around in a power shovel.]

Wait -- turned human? What do you mean?
