–dear. This doesn't look right at all.

[The perspective shifts from the skewed angle of the temple to a shiny, gold-plated head. The pair of eyes shine brightly as they look at nothing in particular, the politeness in C-3PO's voice coming in clearer now. It barely wavers as he continues prattling on.]

Oh no. I'm certain I was never deactivated within the past few minutes! This hallway seems to have changed. [He sighs, shaking his head.] And everything was going so well– wait a minute. [He looks up.] Artoo? Artoo, where did you go?

[Taking a look around, he has failed to notice the Acolyte that approaches him.]

You can't have disappeared on me. You don't even move that fast. I knew I couldn't count on you for anything.

[In the middle of this, he realizes he still has the comlink in his other hand. Again the angle shifts, now giving a perspective of the droid's upper body.]

Master Luke? Oh! I forgot I turned it off. [Click.] Master Luke? Are you there, sir? Sir?

[Fidgeting, Threepio nods.]

I'll certainly try to be aware of the situation when it arises, then. It wouldn't do to get caught in something as terrible as that.

[He then pauses.]

Did you say – changing species?

Unfortunately, yes. [A static sigh escapes her.] No matter how impossible it sounds, we had all sorts of people of varying species change. Even crossing the divide and having a lot of cybertronians becoming human, and a few humans becoming cybertronians for around two weeks.

That must have been a rather confusing time for the parties involved!

Indeed. I wasn't a victim, which I am relieved for, but most were upset and confused, and usually had troubles functioning... as to be expected, really.

[She glances, nearly relfexively, upwards.]

Perhaps we'll have a calmer period, however, giving us a chance to relax and you new arrivals to settle in,

I do have to be thankful for appearing now rather than during such chaos. However, I suppose living through events like that can prove useful.

[Even if he does tend to panic. She doesn't need to know that, though.]

Perhaps. Despite the more obvious and direct danger, I prefer the ones where we are being attacked, and not the more subtle ones.

[She shrugs.]

And perhaps at least one of your friends will appear here as well, even if it might be better to hope they aren't pulled out of the proper reality.

Oh. [He can't say the same, sadly.] Well. To each their own?

It would be selfish to wish they were here. I am prepared to accept being the only one present from my known galaxy, destined to wander the planet alone.

Definitely. One or the other, they're both at the least inconveniences, and at the most more or less lethal dangers.

[A shrug, and then she has to briefly turn off her vocaliser not to laugh because oh, the drama.]

Some may appear later, or not, but even if you're alone from your reality, there are others here in the same situation, I'm sure you could make... connections.

[At least she managed to keep her voice and expression straight, despite the tiny glittering flare of her optics.]

If they do, then I only hope they arrive in one piece. But only time will tell.

[Should he be concerned about that? Does he even notice the gleam? It's curious to him, but he nods.]

Despite these setbacks, I do believe I have made some progress today in making new connections. Some less than helpful than this one, but they still count.

I believe that no one has arrived with injuries, unless they sustained them prior to appearing here, so there is that.

[No, she's just amused at his overdramatic reaction. Nothing to worry about at all.]

I try, but yes. I hope it'll work out for you.

Minor inconveniences, but better than total dismemberment.

[Funny. He doesn't think he's being overdramatic. Then again, it's C-3PO.]

Oh, yes, indeed. Thank you again, Lady Elita.

... Yes. Definitely.

[And there it was again and she's not sure whether to be amused or incredulous and instead supresses both for a nod.]

No problem at all, and if you'd prefer a room made more to your size than the ones available in the temple you woke up in, there's human-sized rooms in this building. [Have the coordinates to Haven's Hub sent through the Link for you.]

[He sees the coordinates appear, taking note of the location.]

Oh! That would definitely be something to look into.

I thought it'd be helpful, since while a room at the temple is completely free and easily available, for anyone not cybertronian they tend to be slightly... large.

[A lopsided smile twitched over her lips and she shrugged.]

If you need anything later, you're welcome to give me a ping and I'll see if there's anything I can do.

I'll be sure to do so in the near future. Thank you again for your assistance, Lady Elita.
