[No video for you, kids. Gunmax isn't about to put his face all over some mystery space internet. You do get to listen to him complain, though.]

Oookay then, now that I'm pretty sure I'm not having some kind of sensory malfunction, I figured I oughta start getting information out of the locals. The creepy dudes in the robes already dropped what I assume are the basics on me, but there's gotta be more to this than "hi, welcome to the robot planet. You're stuck here forever, make yourself at home". I kind of had things to do back home. Important things. Things that didn't include being kidnapped by alien robots.

Anyway. It's probably a long shot, but if any Brave Police just happen to be hanging around here, shoot me a heads up. Oh, and if anyone happens to find a really big motorcycle, that's mine. Try not to mess with it, yeah?

[Nope not even dropping a name. What a courteous guy right. He grumbles something to himself before killing the feed.]

[Gee, that sounds familiar.]

I'm not surprised.

For what it's worth -- Power Joe, at least, is as foolish and loud as he was when he arrived.

[Power Joe stops dead in his tracks.]

I think I need to punch Kagebird in the face tomorrow.

[he just smirks, damn right gunmax is gonna get his way. eventually. once he's settled in.]

Yep, that sounds like him. If you word it like that though, you make it sound like McCrane and Deckerd aren't what they used to be.

I don't know Deckerd well enough to say.

[He quiets, and looks away.]

McCrane has... dealt with a lot. Physically, he hasn't changed.

But this place is difficult.

Difficult how? I mean, besides the obvious.

You died.

Twice.

[That is how difficult.]

[oh hey look it's McCra-ooooh]

[Gunmax is kind of speechless. For once. How do you even reply to that?]

...Well, that's a hell of a way to greet someone.

You asked, and I feel it is best to be direct.

[...if it had only been as easy as simple death.]

I was not able to stop you from disappearing, either time.

I--

[He wants to say more, but he can't work up to it yet.]

I am glad that you are back.

[There. Clearly a much better greeting. He's trying?]

"Back" implies that I was here before. I've never seen this place. So what gives?

You were here before.

[He considers carefully where the best place to start with this explanation should be.]

...a version of you was, at least. The same thing happened with Deckard. He had come to Cybertron, and then disappeared to the badlands.

Then, he came to Cybertron again.

[Alright so it isn't the best explanation, but he is trying.]

Huh.

[just yeah nothing makes sense everything is terrible]

And he didn't remember anything either?

He did not. It was as if he had never come here, and those memories never resurfaced.

I do not think the Lambda understands time.

[McCrane is pretty sure that it just plucks people at random, and sometimes plucks them from before they were already here. It would be more fascinating if it wasn't headache-inducing.]

...do you have a Glyph on your arm?

I can handle this.

[Dammit McCrane go to bed, you're supposed to be recovering.]

I know.

But.

It is Gunmax.

[He can't not speak up. He can't.]

...

I know that.

But ... fine. Do what you think is best.

I...

[This is now made particularly awkward, because he's suddenly realizing that he was developing similar feelings for you that he used to have for Gunmax. Now, Gunmax is back...but its not the same Gunmax. He doesn't know what to do.]

I think it is best if we both explain. He will have many questions.

[Well. That makes two of them in the What do we do now camp.]

I'm doing what I can.

Don't strain yourself. The virus may be in your systems still.

Kagerou...

[He smiles, just a little...knowing you understand in your own way.]

Thank you. I will be careful.

...

I see McCrane already told you.

[And here, he was supposed to be the creeper.]

[This is one of the most annoying days ever. Just look how annoyed Gunmax is. It's a lot.]

Tch, yeah. Seems that way.

Well, I'm feelin' pretty good for a dead guy. So now what?

Edited 2014-02-04 21:32 (UTC)

Now... you make every effort not to have it happen again.

[Kagerou is that a serious answer what the hell man.]

Uh huh, right. How about you tell me how I happened to die the first two times, and I'll just not do that again.

[GUNMAX HAS NO IDEA THIS GUY IS SO WEIRD]

It's... hm.

[This is where it gets difficult. Because he can't bring himself to believe people who vanished were dead. He refuses to.]

[McCrane though...]

[It's probably best to do this delicately. And privately.]

McCrane means that you've vanished. Twice.

Some here think that vanishing means death. He is one of them.
