[Hello there, Cybertron. It's been a bit too long since Blondie here last bombarded you all with questions, hasn't it? Well, fret not, for she has another, and this time... it has less to do with technical difficulties or new arrival syndrome and more to do with art withdrawals.]

So, I've been thinking. Paint --well, oil paint-- is basically just pigment and medium, so it really isn't hard to make. Sure, it takes a while to dry but... I'm kind of used to having a lot of color on my walls, and it feels gloomy living without them.

[Actually, the entire city could use more color in her opinion, but that's a bit rude to say aloud. Best to start off with her own living quarters.]

Does anyone know what I could use for pigment and quick-drying oil? Back on Earth, most of the ingredients were plant-based and well... that seems like a bad idea here.

[She doesn't want to raid the pantry and waste perfectly good food just for the sake of her art. That's just thoughtless and selfish, and she certainly wouldn't be able to bring herself to do that.

So, who wants to help little miss painter here make some art?

After the video, she quickly switches the feed so it's no longer public. Did she do it right? She hopes so. Well, here goes nothing.

Private to Starscream:]

I'm sorry I took so long to call, but people were acting funny for a while; I thought it would be best to wait until things calmed down. But um... I'm ready for that tour whenever you're free.

Easy for you to say; I feel foolish every time something new is brought up. Which is kind of a lot.

[Lucky for KO, Rapunzel isn't stupid by any means; in fact, she's rather bright, just hopelessly uneducated and ignorant. Granted, that's bound to happen when someone is plucked from a time four to five (if not more) centuries before the other humans here. Add in the knowledge gap between those humans and Cybertronians... it's no wonder everything is Greek to her.]

You're right; I don't think I've seen any other red ones yet.

[Yes, clearly that is why he is different.

Don't worry, she has a strong stomach.]

When I went to Earth for the first time I had no idea about how most things worked either. It's a learning process, you just have to be patient.

[He's had to deal with a lot of stupid people, specially he's bosses, he had worse and Knock Out can tell she isn't stupid.

Oh, Rapunzel, you are adorable.] Ah, yes, my paintjob. Striking isn't it?

We are almost int he temple, I can see it in the distance already.

A very long process. Though I guess I'm not too worried about being patient. I have all the time in the world to learn, right?

[At least she doesn't feel rushed or obligated to take everything in at once.]

Very. Prettiest red in the world.

[Not that there's a whole lot on Cybertron to compare to it.]

Well, you are really fast. I don't think horses could keep up with you. Not even the one that chased Eu-- Flynn and I around.

[It's meant to be a compliment; again, she doesn't have too much in the way of comparison.]

Some people like Sentinel complain all the way during said process but you are already doing a better job than him. And yes you do.

[If Knock Out were a bird he would be puffing in satisfaction.]

Why,thank you. Your golden hair is tricking too.

[Some things are unique, he likes it that way.]

No, I don't think so. [He takes it as compliment.] A horse chased your friend? Why that? Did he make it angry?

It helps not to complain too much, even if the process is hard. Guess that's something your friend hasn't figured out yet, huh?

[Rapunzel isn't the queen of positivity 24/7, but at least she tries her darnedest when things get challenging.]

Aw, thanks right back at you.

[Whatever "tricking" means; probably some slang she hasn't picked up on yet.]

Actually, I think the horse belonged to the royal guards. Flynn stole from the royals, horse followed his scent, horse lead the guards to us, and then they chased us down an underground cave...

'Friend'. I don't think he sees me that way but no, you are right, he didn't.

[She's still far more positive than most of the mech Knock Out knows, it's refreshing.]

[~~Actually it was supposed to be 'striking' but autocorrect is weird as hell and this mun is an idiot'~~.]

Horses can really do that? Are you sure it wasn't a really big dog?
