Perhaps this is a foolish question, but, considering I've never collected any data on the subject...

[Perceptor's where he always is, typing away at his console. Though his attention appears to be on the Glyph on his arm.]

[Staring accusingly at it.]


... While we're all aware these markings possess certain effects, should we attract the attention of our "hosts"... has anyone experienced any sort of negative effect, pertaining to the changing of one's brand?

[YOU KNOW. For curiosity's sake. Totally. No ulterior motive here.]

How do you mean 'change'? Because mine got brighter and I don't think I recharged for about three days straight afterwards. I don't think I know anyone that's had their glyph completely change from one FirstForged to another, though.

But nothing really negative as far as I know.

Huh. I didn't know that happened. I guess you like... exhibit traits more similar to someone else, then.

[Now he has to wonder what would have happened if Shockwave somehow had managed to get Fracas patronage with Megatronus.]

Unusual but not... negative, really. I heal a little quicker and I can run for longer on less energon.
It's kinda nice, actually.

Just saying. I don't think whoever you're aligned to would give you something bad. Maybe if one of them got mad enough they'd do something like that, but. They don't seem to get that mad that often.

[He got into a tiff with Megatronus and he's fine.]

Why, what happened? Aside from your glyph changing?

... Well that's awfully vague, you realize.

All right. Hrm.

Have you noticed anything that wasn't normal with you back home? Or anything that was unusual that's gone with your Glyph switching?

... What did your Glyph used to look like before, anyway?

You're sure it's not some kind of... residual stuff from the Pillar?

Oh! I know that one. Solus. She builds things and fixes people; it's why most of the medics have her symbol. So what is it now?

It doesn't make sense that it temporarily turned me into a champion of the people either. Maybe it's something else... but I don't think the Glyph would do that.

Green. That's. Liege. The Shockwave from my world has it. I'm not exactly sure what Liege does, though.

Are you sure that what's happening now isn't temporary?

The only ones I'm really familiar with are Solus, Megatronus, and Vector sorta. It's not like I'm some... Original Thirteen scholar or something.

But. Since you are a scientist, and Shockwave is a scientist. He might have some connection to science.

Well. What if it's not from the pillar? Or the Glyph, for that matter?

The type of science and the how you do it doesn't change that you are both involved in science. Wheeljack built explosive ordinance while I fixed ship engines but we're both still Solian.

[Dude. Dude.]

Now you're just being melodramatic.

[You seem a little stressed Perceptor.]

It may not be your kind of science but it still gets results.
Just because you happen to have the same Glyph doesn't mean you have to like or work with each other. It just means you happen to share a trait.
If you don't like it that much, you can always try to change it. But it might not work.

redshirtrobot: (! OH RLY...?)

[personal profile] redshirtrobot 2014-01-01 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
You suggested contracting a mental disorder. That's pretty melodramatic.
... also I don't think those work that way, anyway.

Then you'd have to stop being a scientist. Because that's all you have in common with him.
What's your deal with Shockwave, anyway?
redshirtrobot: (! What Even)

Maybe if you've been sucking down Dark Energon that would make sense. But going crazy here tends to happen to multiple people at a time.

A personal matter that you're allowing to affect your everyday interactions.

[personal profile] redshirtrobot 2014-01-01 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, then, have you upset any of the FirstForged recently? Are you under any particular stress?

You were kind of implying that you didn't want to do science because Shockwave also does it.
