Number IV [video: Private to Blurr]

[nobody_number_8]

So, hey, Blurr....

Exactly how does a guy go about signing up for the police force around here? Figured I'd ask you, seeing as how you're on it already and all.

We will assign you someone if you get in, don't worry. There's always others jobs to do in the Police force, _{not only working} the streets, you know? There's the investigation team too and some others. I did not know you could teleport. How do you do that? Shifting your mass and the particles through air or...?

I see. They weren’t very nice like the Decepticons weren’t very nice in comparison to the Autobots? That way?

[nobody_number_8]

'Not nice' as in Decepticon 'not nice'. It's kind of a long story, but suffice to say I'm through with them now.

As for how I teleport, well, if you want the actual 'how does it work' mechanics, you're asking the wrong guy. How I do it, though is with Dark Corridors; portals made of Darkness. Short range, like within the same building, I can just poof from place to place, but longer range requires an actual Corridor.

It starts to get less accurate around the edges of the city, though, so portalling to the Badlands... yeah not gonna happen. And I can't teleport to any place I haven't been before. Those last two limitations didn't exist mack home, but something about this place or getting brought here seems to have messed my powers up a bit.

[raceme]

I see. Good _{to know} it’s behind you then. [Blurr, just like Optimus did, does believe that people can change for the better. ]

Sounds like you can trasnwarp on your own. Skywarp, one of Starscream’s clones can do that. I don’t think he uses corridors, though.

[nobody_number_8]

[Yeah, you and Sora too. Axel is uncertain how wise a practice this belief is.]

Well, I don't know about transwarp or whatever. I just know that it works. Mostly. I wouldn't mess with trying it yourself though; Darkness is dangerous stuff, especially if you have a heart.

[raceme]

[Very wise in the long run, trust them and have faith.]

oh no no no no I didn't even thought of that. Beside,s I can go anywhere really fast just running or flying.

[nobody_number_8]

[Only when you don't put your trust in the wrong people. Then it can come back to bite you in the ass.]

Wait a minute... you can fly?

[Axel clearly hasn't been paying enough attention if he missed a development like that.]

[raceme]

[You tell Blurr about that, that's how he almost got killed by Shockwave.]

Yes, I can. That's one of the upgrade I got when my glyph changed.

[Blurr doesn't talk about it all that often.]

[nobody_number_8]

Huh...

[Axel glaces thoughtfully down at his upper arm, where his own glyph is hidden under his coat.]

Mine hasn't changed since I got here. [pause] You think I'd be able to fly too, if it did? I kinda miss it...

[raceme]

I've been here almost for a year and half, it takes more time for some people. Certain glyph never change while others change almost every two months.

Depends. Who's your FirstForged? mine's Vector adn he can fly. I don't think all of them have the ability and since we get powers after our FirstForged...[This is why Blurr can also stop time.]

[nobody_number_8]

[Axel nods.]

Mine's Megatronus. Not sure if he can fly or not, since I only met him once, and then we were both inside.

[raceme]

Megatronus..............[Epis logn pause. Blur and him didn't get along.] I am so sorry.

[nobody_number_8]

What for? I mean, yeah, the guy's not exactly the friendliest sort, and he can be a little creepy sometimes. But it's not like I have to deal with him face-to-ankle that often.

Besides, from what I've seen, Liege Maximo has him beet by a mile in the creepy department. I mean, have you ever hung around his temple for any length of time? The place reminds me of The Castle That Never Was, and it's like his acolytes are creeping around watching your every move.

[raceme]

You could say that we had our differences. He's an unfair overpowered mech who set free a sociopath only because it was one of his people and without caring for all the people said mech tortured and murdered in the Haven. Burt please, don't let that influence your views on him.

I've only been in Liege's temple twice. [And both times it triggered his claustrophobia.] I can't say I enjoyed it much, no.

[nobody_number_8]

...You know, I can't tell if you were being sarcastic about that or not.

Though to be honest, I don't completely trust most of the Firstforged to start with, so it's not like I find this especially surprising. Unless my glyph changes, though, I'm stuck with him, so what I think about him is kinda a moot point.

Yeah. And even his name 'Leige Maximo'... It just makes him sound one hair-brained evil scheme away from being a comic book super villain.

[raceme]

He really did all of those things.

I trust some of them, Vector, Nexus and ^{Solus really} showed that they cared about us. But with them _being gone I can understand how it's harder to have in them.

[Blurr can't help but laugh at that description.]

[nobody_number_8]

No no, I meant I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic about the whole 'don't let it affect how you view him' thing. I believe he did all that crap.

I guess... I just really don't trust anybody who has that much power.

[raceme]

Perhaps a little, but really, don't let my opinion influence yours.

Can't blame you, really.

[nobody_number_8]

Meh, like I said, what I think of him is kinda a moot point. Just glad I don't have to deal with him in person too often.

So anyway... can I just come to police HQ whenever to take the tests you mentioned? Or do I have to schedule them ahead of time or something?

[raceme]

Yes, you are right.

I'll be better if we set an appointment so I can reorganize my shift and have enough time. What about if we meet in two days?

[nobody_number_8]

Sounds good. Meeting at your office at police HQ, right?

[raceme]

Yes, that's it. See you soon, Axel.

[nobody_number_8]

[nods]

See you there.

[Axel cuts the feed.]
