re_alignment | [video] And then there's this loser

[Some people, upon discovering they'd been magically uprooted from wherever they were and mysteriously transported to a weird almost-but-not-quite Cybertron against their will, would probably be angry. At the very least they might be annoyed, maybe a little frustrated or panicked. This guy seems to be the exception. He looks a bit puzzled, sure, but he also looks MAYBE a little too calm and cheerful for someone in his position.

Oh, the video's recording! Excellent. He claps his hands together in that 'let's get down to business' sort of way.]

Oookay, from what I understand so far, it's probably safe to assume that you're all pretty used to confused new people popping up from time to time. I think I'm caught up on the basics, so I hope to avoid the whole panicking stage. Actually, everything I've heard so far is pretty fascinating. Just, you know, a little jarring. I have a few theories, but... well, I'll save them for when I have a better idea of what to expect here. The Acolyte I spoke to didn't give me too much information to work with. Well wait... okay, that's not true. I mean, it was pretty informative over all, but there isn't really a whole lot I can do with what they told me other than accept it. I don't like to complain, but it wasn't really all that helpful in a day-to-day life sort of sense.

So! Um. Anyway, my name is Drift. If anyone happens to have any helpful tips for a new arrival, I'd love to hear them. And... I think that's all I've got! Thanks for your time.

That's... huh. When you said to expect the unexpected, you weren't kidding.

Yeah. Still not sure where it came from though.

I think it may have been the First Forged. [He crosses his arms with a small huff passing his vents.]

Just trying to see us all scramble...

Do you think they'd do something like that? Admittedly, I really don't know anything about them, but I was kind of hoping they'd be a little more on the benevolent side.

They're rather mysterious, if you ask me. Heck, I've never even seen Vector Prime, myself. The First Forged of my temple.

[And he gestures to his glyph on his shoulder.]

Oh! You and I have the same mark!

[Look lookit he's showing you his too]

You never know, maybe they'll show up eventually.

Would you look at that...

[Oh hot dang, another smile before it slowly fades into a frown.]

I've been here for.... almost three months. [And that's a long time to him okay.] And I have never seen them once! Nor have they address the masses here, or explained why all that energon nonsense happened!

It'd... just be nice to have some explanation from the source.

I can understand how that would be frustrating. I don't know enough about the situation to make any real suggestions, other than to have patience. I'm sure things will fall into place in time.
