[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.

Now, there's just one Blurr here, right? I knew a different one back home so it's a little confusing.

I'm definitely going to have to do a little reading on these First Forged. Is there some sort of library or anything around here?

[heartdive]

Pretty sure there is just one. I don't think we have a lot of multiples. It's also pretty easy to tell them apart since it's mostly there's one good one and one "bad" one. I dunno how that works.

[ shrugging! ]

There's a library in Alpha Trion's temple, if that helps.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

That... really is unusual. Something about alternate universes, maybe?

That does help, actually. I'll have to check it out. Maybe after the gardens.

video;

[heartdive]

Oh, probably. Most of that stuff's over my head so I just don't worry about it, you know?

video;

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Don't you think it could be interesting to learn about, though?

video;

[heartdive]

Probably. I've just been to a lot of different worlds. After a while you kinda stop questioning every rule.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Oh yeah? I'm no expert at guessing human ages, but you don't seem all that old. How many different worlds have you been to?

video;

[heartdive]

I'm sixteen. Almost seventeen.

[ ha! take that! he's so old and mature. uh huh huh! ]

And I've been to almost as many worlds.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[um you can't even vote kid NOT IMPRESSIVE

well okay maybe a little]

Sounds like you must have been pretty busy. Why'd you travel so much?

video;

[heartdive]

[ ...8( dude don't pick on the human kid. ]

You don't even know the half of it.

[ :) Sora has a smug grin though. sorry. ]

But you know. Saving them. Stopping the bad guys from doing their thing.

video;

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Seriously? By yourself?

[drift isn't sure if the kid is bullshitting or not but hey he'll humor him anyway]

video;

[heartdive]

Not really. I have my friends with me or also doing their own thing to help.

I mean I did do some pretty crazy things by myself, but it doesn't happen that often.

video;

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Crazy things, huh. You'll have to tell me about it some time.

video;

[heartdive]

Any time! I'm usually in Knock Out's clinic, bored to tears.

video;

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Where's that?

video;

[heartdive]

Solus' Temple. Pretty sure Ratchet has his own medbay thingie too. Never been there, though.

video;

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[waaait wait]

Wait, Ratchet's here? How long has he been here?

video;

[heartdive]

About as long as me, I think.

video;

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

I just saw him. Before I ended up here.

I mean, unless there's more than one Ratchet out there.

video;

[heartdive]

Ah ha ha...

Um. There are two Ratchet's, yeah. One is kinda in prison because he hurt the other Ratchet and was tearing apart Acolytes and stuff. Really creepy guy.

Time kinda sorta also stops when we end up here. So you're not really missing out on a whole lot.

video;

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

There's two of them. Two Ratchets. And one's crazy.

I don't know how I feel about this.

video;

[heartdive]

[ just think about Pharma, Drift. it's like having Pharma around only without ANY moral code whatsoever. ]

I just remember it really well because Knock Out locked me up with him and wouldn't let me go out and help hunt the guy down.

Re: video;

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[oh well in that case i'll just chop his hands off]

Well, you are kind of small, to be fair.

video;

[heartdive]

[ then watch as he replaces them with something like buzz saws. ]

Aaaand I've beaten things that are just as big as you guys. Sometimes bigger. That guy doesn't scare me.

Re: video;

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[blast, not as planned]

You're certainly not lacking in confidence. How can you fight something as big as us, anyway?
