[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.

I can imagine. It sounds like a pretty big deal.

[neverputincharge]

It is, a lot of responsibility. Been one for about four months. There's been a lot to learn. But worth it.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

That definitely sounds interesting. Are you allowed to talk about it in detail?

[neverputincharge]

Depends on whatcha want to know. Solus asked us not give major details of what went on, when we became tied to her. [Matter of security and all that.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Ahh, I see. In that case, I won't push the subject.

[neverputincharge]

Thanks. I will say, though, it's your choice. Whether you want to be one or not. The Forged won't force ya, even if they ask.

[Or at least Solus didn't seem like she'd force it.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

That's good to know. As long as they aren't too pushy about it.

[neverputincharge]

I wouldn't think they would be. Solus explained the catches, and I woukd be expected to do. Then asked if I was still interested.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Here's hoping they're all as reasonable as Solus is.

You're with Vector, right? You could ask Blurr about him. He's Vector's Initiate.
