re_alignment | [video]

[The feed that opens is staticky, coming as it is from the outer edges of the network's range, and bears a face that should be familiar to many. Upon closer inspection though, one might notice this Wing is a little rougher around the edges compared to recent newer arrivals. His glyph too, is a brilliant Vectorian gold edged with a strong violet glow. A touch of concern marks Wing's face as he looks right and left before speaking into the feed. The jet is clearly wary of his surroundings.]

Haveners! It's been quite a long time. I wish happier news brought me to this, but alas, the recent disruption of the Lamdba affects us all.

[Behind Wing, over his shoulder, there's a stealthy, disturbingly flesh colored shape slithering down the slope on all fours.]

We hope--

[There's a flash of steel and white and red behind the jet: Drift doing what he does best, which is, apparently, slicing things into sushi, the two--the whatever-it-is and Drift--disappearing offscreen in a grunting flail.]

[The sound of combat rings out off screen, grabbing Wing's attention. The feed is jostled as he almost ends it--clearly Wing is tempted to join the fray--but he seems to change his mind at the last moment.]

Please. Please be wary if you leave the Haven. The wastelands is strewn with foreign debris and creatures stranger than ever roam the land!

[Yeah, and on that note... Drift appears--victorious, of course--holding what appears to be a severed head--actually two, one a smaller, almost vestigial one like a goiter from the neck of the main one--into the camera's range. ]

Anyone else running into these , for example?

[Stay classy, Drift.]

((OOC: Action and network both fine! Responses will be from either--if you have a preference, let us know! ))

[There is a drift hug in your future, other Drift. In fact he may be trying to mentally hug you right now. Weeaboo powers: activate. ]

I'm...really sorry. So you were all alone, I mean, you left?

[maybe if we try REALLY REALLY HARD our auras can connect. or something.

Anyway he shakes his head]

Don't worry about it. But yeah, I left by myself. Ratchet saw me off. Sort of.

[AURATWINS POWER. Or something. Yeah, still working on that.]

Ratchet. Oh.

At least there was someone?

[bright side yay?}

[we need a super hero team name.]

Yeah. I mean, it could have been worse.

True. It could have been, like...Ultra Magnus or something.

[That would have been a terrible last sight: a MIGHTY frown to haunt him the rest of his days.]

And so, now you're just...I mean, not here, but back home, you're just floating around?

True, true.

As for that, I didn't really have any plans in place for something like that. I'd only been off the ship for a couple hours before I ended up here, though.

[Yeah, well, how do you plan for 'mass murderer escapes and you nobly take the rap for it?]

What matters is back home you're alive and that means there's still hope.

[Right? RIGHT?!?!]

Yeah, I've been trying to look at it that way. It's driving me crazy not knowing whats going on there, though.

Yeah, believe me, I know that feeling.

[And he's a little jealous of all the time you had he didn't.] So. Uh. How's it been here for you?

[deal with it neeeeerrrrrrrd]

Mostly good, actually. It's been extremely confusing at times, but Wing's here. Big tick right there.

[Watch who you're calling nerd, nerd.] </small. Yeah, Wing here was...kind of huge. After, you know, not dying of the Red Rust. Or maybe before. Never ranked them before.

[i'll nerd you in a minute]

I hear you. Call it even?

[Nerd him at your peril, Drift! ]

Yeah, mostly because I don't want to think about it.

[And you can't make him. Nyah.]

So. How have you been, you know, adapting here?

[NERD BATTLE.]

Yeaaah, don't blame you.

[DON'T WORRY he totally won't make you.]

Ah, you know. Kinda awkwardly. But uh, managing. When I first got here, tons of people mistook me for you. Which... yeah, kind of unavoidable, all things considered. One or two people seemed pretty upset that I didn't remember them.

[Good, because there's been enough thinking about bad stuff already in this conversation. They need to derail the bad vibes train.]

Oh, yeah. Sorry. That must have been, you know, awkward.

But it's all good now, right?

Well, besides the whole being attacked by radioactive mutants thing, I'd say it's all good.

Yeah, about that.

[Better or worse than grody spiders? Hard to tell.]

What's that all about. I mean, radiation? Did something explode?

I don't know, really. It just kind of... happened.

Yeah. Too much to hope things would actually, you know, start making sense here.

Anything else we missed?

Couldn't say, I haven't really been here all that long. I spend most of my time getting thrown around by Wing or meditating.

Yeah, that...happens, too. I think Wing kind of likes it.

[And Drift doesn't mind it anymore. ]

Y'know, I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

[This one still minds. Oooh man is it frustrating.]

Here's a tip: the more you act like you don't like it, the more he does like it.

[Drift: relationship counselor. Clearly this is his vocation. ]

So... what? Am I supposed to pretend that I do like it?

[WELL he would know best. In this relationship. And stuff.]

Well, I mean, think of it this way: he's not trying to convince you not to leave Crystal City anymore, right? So why's he doing it?
