☄ [Video] :: Location - Alpha Trion's Quadrant - Lakeside

[happyduckbutt]

[The boy's paused from his practice with his keyblade, the keychain still swaying from the last slash he'd made before lowering it to his side. He blinks, glancing aside at his arm, and he reaches over carefully with his left to nudge his sleeve up a bit. His glyph still primarily white save for its magenta outline, but while usually it only appears to be glowing for how bright it is, Ventus is pretty sure it's actually doing so now.]

...well it never did that before...

[He fingers it curiously as he murmurs.]

[Thundercracker's Glyph has changed a few times, so he doesn't immediately recognize that's what the boy is talking about.]

What's never done what before?

Also . . . how are you doing?

[Since...you know, he's managed to not actually much of you since the Badlands...]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

-oh, Thundercracker! [He smiles because it has been a while, and he had started to wonder if the Decepticon had been avoiding him because of what happened.]

My glyph- it's...well, it started to glow.

[Ventus turns slightly towards the screen to show him.]

I'm feeling a lot better. I can move my arm again- [He raises it for show-] -just...trying to be careful about what I do with it for now.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

[Nope, just been stupid amounts of busy. And absent. Especially the absent part.]

[His expression softens just a bit at the boy's grin. He nods.]

It's about that time, I guess. Every two months, it seems, a lot of us experience some kind of change to our Glyphs. [He glances away with a frown, decidedly NOT thinking about well, trying not to think about the change to his own Glyph.]

Hmn.

Good. How long does it normally take humans to repair from that kind of damage?

[Also? He . . . well . . . fraggit, he HAS gotten soft since getting here, hasn't he? He's actually a little sorry he couldn't protect the boy better, even though there was nothing more he could have done. But injured, he imagines Ventus can't go out on his glider either...if the glider was even salvageable. And being grounded sucks more than anything.]

...ever flown in a fighter jet before?

[Because why not. Wouldn't be the first time he's taken a human...]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

I guess so... It's been a while since it's really looked so different.

[He looks down at his left arm, turning his forearm slightly.]

I'm not sure. It's the first time I've ever broken anything, and that took a little over a month I think. I'm still supposed to be careful with it though.

[Oh, his glider's fine, being that it changes from his Keyblade. He's probably been told to take it easy and probably not do any crazy trips on the thing though- and in that, yes, it does suck a bit.]

...a jet?

Re: [Video]

[notyourblueangel]

[He nods.]

  My alt-mode.  It's modeled after a human-built aircraft, so I'm capable of taking passengers.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Oh! [It isn't a term he's familiar with, obviously, but he's seen Thundercracker's other form enough to know what he's talking about now.]

I've never flown in one, no. Being here is the first I've ever seen of...well, a lot of things.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

Hm.

Care to clear another first, then? [quirks a grin] I'll even let you pilot a little if you'd like.

[Mildly wry as he is about it, that's...actually pretty huge coming from a Seeker...]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

You mean it?

[Just going for a ride would be pretty cool in his book, but it means a lot to be even offered at all! Ven is all smiles.]

When can we go?

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

Do you have anything pressing at the moment?

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

No, not really.

[video]

[cec_engineer]

[hey there person i've never met or seen before let me just comment on your video out of nowhere]

They change? That's interesting. Is this a normal occurrence?

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[Oh hello fellow person that he's pretty sure he's never seen before!]

Uh- yeah...pretty normal, I guess? It's changed size and color, but this is the first I've ever seen it glow.

[sciencetank]

What's never done what now?

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[He knows that voice, though he's a little surprised to hear the scientist addressing him.]

-oh, my glyph. Um...has yours ever started glowing before?

[Video]

[sciencetank]

[He has to talk to someone while he repairs his lab, Ven.]

Hm.

No, not that I can think of. Perhaps you've had an upgrade installed.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[...are you lonely, Perceptor? :<]

Huh..?

[Video]

[sciencetank]

[... NO B(]

An upgrade! You know, better lighting under the plating and whatnot.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[Lies.]

But...I don't have any plating. I'm not a robot.

[Video]

[sciencetank]

[Oh, he looks up at that.]

...

Ah. So you aren't.

Then I'm not sure.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[....]

Oh well. I guess I won't worry about it. Um...hey, did you ever figure out what those floating crystals were?

[If...Perceptor even remembers that the boy was the one who had brought it to him.]

[Video]

[sciencetank]

[And then he just looks frustrated.]

I was this close to getting results! And then Grimlock went and had a bloody tantrum in my lab!

[video]

[adamndoctor]

Know how ya feel, kid. I guess our tats here change from time to time, but... Somethin's been a little off lately.

[Like, you know, he's been feeling a little... weird. But not a bad weird. Just... different.]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Off..?

What do you mean?

[Video]

[adamndoctor]

Strange, but... Feel I've got a lot more energy than I've had for a long while now. Getting things done faster. Even cut myself not long ago and it practically healed up in a snap without any dermal-regenerator. [Not like they HAD one, but for comparison purposes.] How 'bout you? Something like that, too?

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Wow, really? [Blink.]

Can't say that I've felt any different myself...
