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.

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.

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

I don't know how I feel about this.

[ 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.

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

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

[ 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.

[blast, not as planned]

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

Magic.

[ pause. wait. he knows how that sounds. ]

Like really. I have attack spells. Healing spells. Defensive spells... And a special weapon called a Keyblade.
