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.

I think that's the best news I've heard all week.

I jut happen to know the manager really well. [Spoilers: it's him.] I'll send you the coordinates.

It would be pretty irresponsible of me to go to a bar of all places at a time like this...

[there's a thoughtful little pause for a few seconds.]

You know, I think I'll have those coordinates after all.

There's probably a people there and you ^mightknow someone. I learned that most mechs accepts things faster with a cube of high grade on their hands.

I guess a cube or two won't do me any harm. Not sure if I want to run into anyone I know yet, though.

Did something happen? You went along well with everyone here as far as I can remember.

Oh, um.

No, it's nothing. I just kind of want to get this sorted out first, you know?

[that's only kind of half true but heeeeey]

Ah, okay okay. SorryIasked.

[Blurr just wants to help drift. You were his friends, even if you can't remember.] If I can do anything to make it easier for you let me know. You can find me either at the Police Force headquarter or in the bar at night. I work there.
[WHAT IS SLEEPING AND RELAXING?]

No, no, it's fine.

Wow, you sure like to keep busy, huh? Not too big on taking breaks?

If you are sure.

[Blurr chuckles.] You could say that. Most of the time I am only happy when I am working. [Blurr shut up, that's depressing as hell.]

[oh no Blurr that IS depressing]

Do you have anything you like to do for fun?

[Ey he didn't like Ultra Magnus for nothing, they were very alike in some aspects.]

Does doing the paperwork count? I also like running. Really, really fast.

I can't really imagine anyone who enjoys doing paperwork, except maybe Ultra Magnus.

Is that it, though? Paper work and running fast?

It's relaxing and well...it doesn't lie. With paperwork you know what are you dealing with.

[Drift you make it sounds like those are bad things. Blurr looks self conscious.] ...I like to read too.

[see the amazing thing is that someone named friggen BLURR takes time to sit down and read. Drift looks totally amused. not in the "lol what a nerd" sort of way but in the "awww that's cute" sort of way.]

See, now that's enjoyable. What sort of things do you like reading?

[That second way is much nicer than the first possibility and Blurr smiles, relaxing marginally.]

All the things I can find! Alpha Trion has a huge library here and there's some amazing books about other cultures. Fantasy stories are also quite fun, I _like those a lot.

A library, huh? I'm going to have to check it out. If anything, it sounds like a good place to relax.

It is. There's also a huge lake in front of the temple. Do you like reading too?

I do, though it's been a long time since I've had a chance to sit down and read for fun.

Then maybe you should do it soon. It will help you ease your mind after stressing over your arrival.

[ooooh he's stressed over a lot more than that, BUT STILL GOOD ADVICE]

You know, I think I am going to do that. After I've had a chance to settle in, anyway.

[Blurr knows a lot about stress, he would understand.]

Excellent, I hope you have fun then.

[There's a pause and then he says almost shyly.] I'm really glad to see you again even if you don't remember me.

[d'awww blurr you're so pointy and adorable] I wish I did remember, bu I'm glad I left a good impression. I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

[Ain't he a cute dork...? His topics would flare bright if someone called him cute out loud.] You definitely did. We will talk more in the future for sure then.

You got it! Thanks for everything, Blurr.
