[Have a Cinderella! Though she looks extra alert today and she keeps one hand in her jacket pocket.]

All right, something definitely isn't right. I haven't been this on edge in a long time. [Not since World War II anyway. But at least then she was only worried about human mundies.]

I started feeling this way when I was found these yellow crystals on my way to the library. Can't say I enjoy it too much.

Also, if anyone happens across any new arrivals that are wooden soldiers, don't set them on fire. They're made of a hard wood and thus will burn slowly and will still move while burning. It's not fun dealing with them when they're flaming.

...You found Yellow Energon too?

[Voice]

[glass_secret]

That was energon? I thought that stuff was supposed to be pink or blue.

Re: [Voice]

[treacherous_widow]

Most of the time. But, um... sometimes the crystals can be.. different.

I don't know, we had to worry more about it blowing up on us then the color before. But yeah, it's Energon, or at least, I think it is... it's edible anyway...

[Voice]

[glass_secret]

Edible for you guys anyway. I don't want to know what would happen if I ever tried that stuff.

Re: [Voice]

[treacherous_widow]

Not a clue. The radiation is harmless to organics at least. Or it was the last time I checked with the regular stuff anyway. This new stuff, I'm not so sure.

[Voice]

[glass_secret]

Great... Hopefully I won't start glowing in the dark because I was exposed to the stuff.

Re: [Voice]

[treacherous_widow]

...You wouldn't start glowing in the dark. You'd just get sick and slowly die.

Re: [Voice]

[glass_secret]

Figure of speech. I didn't mean glow in the dark literally, and I'm well aware the effects of radiation poisoning.

Re: [Voice]

[treacherous_widow]

Good, that makes you marginally smarter than most of the ape descendants around here.

So.. did you start feeling on edge before or after you found the Energon..?

Re: [Voice]

[glass_secret]

[She not sure if she should be insulted or not about the ape comment.]

It started right when I found to the energon.

Re: [Voice]

[treacherous_widow]

[Your choice. She meant it as a compliment.]

...So did my issues.

Re: [Voice]

[glass_secret]

Want to share?

Re: [Voice]

[treacherous_widow]

[Soft sigh.]

Sure, why not.

I'm terrifying. Mirrors just show me how terrifying I am.

[Voice]

[glass_secret]

You are? You mean the crystals changed your appearance?

Re: [Voice]

[treacherous_widow]

No.. They didn't. I just... it's the new look. I'm not sure if I like it anymore.

Re: [Voice]

[glass_secret]

And it all started when you came across these energon crystals? Okay, something fishy is definitely going on here...

Re: [Voice]

[treacherous_widow]

...Now that you mention it, yeah. You might be right.

Re: [Voice]

[glass_secret]

Great. Now what can we do about it?

Re: [Voice]

[treacherous_widow]

....Find a way to cure it.

Re: [Voice]

[glass_secret]

Well I'm stumped on how to do that. Finding cures is definitely not my area of expertise.

Re: [Voice]

[treacherous_widow]

...I'm sure we can figure something out. I just..need samples. Lots of them and of all different colors...

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

T-that sounds terrifying.

[Video]

[glass_secret]

You should have see it in real life. It's beyond terrifying.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

N-no, thanks.  I think I'm good. 

  You're…you're okay, though?

[Video]

[glass_secret]

For now. I just can't shake this bad feeling.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

Everything's a bad feeling...

Just...uh...when you go to bed tonight, don't get too close to the edge. Like...hop over from a little bit back or something, just don't let your feet get too close to the space underneath.

The vorpal dustscraplets might get you.

[Video]

[glass_secret]

"Vorpal dustscraplets?" And here I was thinking you were going to say the Boogieman. There's a good chance that he's real back home and could always make it over here.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

[Don't give him ideas, Cindy...]

B-boogieman? What's he?

[Video]

[glass_secret]

[Too late!]

Some tall, dark, and scary guy who hides under beds or in the closets of children in order to terrorize the crap out of them. Also has a thing with stealing their teeth.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

Mmmf!

[That's TC clapping both hands over his mouth, optics bright with alarm. You idiot, you don't even HAVE teeth. He moves his hands just enough to be understood.]

That's not very nice.

[Video]

[glass_secret]

It's not supposed to be.

And I should point out that he only targets human children. Not giant robots that transform into jets.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

...that's a relief.

[Yep, dropping those hands again. Wings are low on his back, flicking now and then.]

So . . . you're okay, though?

Re: [Video]

[glass_secret]

Like I said, I'm fine for now. [Not sure how long that will last though.]

[megaton]

...have you seen any of these soldiers here?

[Because they sound intruiging.]

[glass_secret]

Not here. Not yet anyway. I just have this feeling that they could arrive.

[Why she's having this feeling all of a sudden she's not exactly sure.]

[megaton]

Just about anything could arrive.

Can they be reasoned with?

[glass_secret]

Which is what has me worried.

No they really can't be. They may act like free willed individuals but there is a strong enchantment that binds them to the will of their creator.

[megaton]

Indeed. Not everything that arrives can be so easily dealt with, and I doubt the populace is prepared to handle the truly unusual.

...

Are they bound even across space and time?

[glass_secret]

Considering there master was in another world when they attacked us back home, I would say the bound is that strong.

[megaton]

Truly something to be looking forward to.

With that in mind...I posit that a group of individuals might need regular training sessions to keep themselves sharp in order to combat such unusual threats.

Do you concurr?

[glass_secret]

Something like that may be a good idea around here, since gods know what can pop up.

[raceme]

I found some green ones. Looks like colored energon is appearing all around the Haven.

I'll set them on fire if I want, don't tell me what I can't do. [Wait, what. This time even Blurr double takes at his own words.] I mean...who are those people?

[glass_secret]

Green ones? Where?

They were minions of the Adversary. And setting them on fire is a very very bad idea. [What's with you Blurr?]

[raceme]

Clustered beside one of the headstones in the graveyard.

The Adversary? Unicron? [Look who's talking. Miss Paranoia.]

[glass_secret]

Great. Multicolored strange crystals appearing randomly. Nothing suspicious about that. [So much sarcasm...]

Not Unicron. This guys from my universe.

[raceme]

I don't really feel any different, though.

And he wants to destroy it all as well? [Evil masterlords really need a new agenda.]

[glass_secret]

Maybe you just don't notice it yet.

Nah. He's more into the conquer everything.

[raceme]

Maybe. I'm sure I can deal with it.

Oh, one of those hm?
