[video] And then there's this loser

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[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.

[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?

[raceme]

[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.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

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

[raceme]

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

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

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

[raceme]

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

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[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.

[raceme]

[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.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[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.

[raceme]

[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.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

You got it! Thanks for everything, Blurr.

[raceme]

You are really welcome. Take care Drift.
