Hello, everyone. I apologize for being quiet... I went on a sabbatical of sorts, to contemplate matters in isolation. An artist's retreat, if you will.

In the time I was away, I decided... this is a new beginning, for both myself and others. I am to cast off the vestiges of my past, and step forward into the light. I would like to contribute to the budding culture of this new world, as both an artist and perhaps a teacher.

Wing, my friend, I have heard you and others are working on a recreational center. I would like to assist in any way I can.

To the rest of you... I am considering beginning a class on the art of the written word. Would anyone be interested?

Yeahhh, add another one to the recreational center set-up! Most righteous, dude.

Oh! I wanna join. I mean, I dunno, I wanna make a song sometime. I'm great with the musical sense, but I'm weak on the words.

Ah, then you shall be my first student!

Prepare yourself, for I am about to reveal the power to craft new worlds, Soundwave. In a way, we shall be like Primus himself.

[S-SNORTS, oh he's sorry. He'll try to keep his opinions to himself.]

I'm sure it's gonna be fun! Thanks, dude.

[notices the snort and raises an eyebrow, but says nothing]

Very well. I shall inform you when class is in session!

Skybyte! It's fantastic to hear from you! I'm glad you've been safe all this time, we've had a few wander off never to be seen again. [He sounds more than a touch mournful for a moment.]

I fully understand the need to be introspective in solitude; sometimes it's the only way to hear our true inner voice. I'm happy that your retreat has brought you such revelations, and that you've brought them back to us. Your words ring true to my spark. I think it's wonderful that you want to contribute and I'd love to participate. I even have some old texts you may not have seen that I'd be happy to share.

As for the rec center, Blurr and McCrane have been working on the planning stages while I've been unavailable, so I need to do some catching up myself. We will be certain to call on you when needed though!

Oh, that sounds fascinating, Wing. I'd love to get a look at them.

I'd like to help in the planning if you'd let me.

One of the goals and purposes of my order is--was?--[will be?]--the preservation of Cybertronian culture, including history and art. I have barely a fraction of the works the Circle managed to save in my personal data store, but I will share what I have.

[He nods.]

I welcome any and all suggestions. I can't say we'll be able to field them all, but that remains to be seen. I find out when we plan to meet next and let you know.

Re: [Video]

[poemssometimesrhyme]

Very well then! Keep me posted!

Re: [Video]

[winged_knight]

Indeed I will!

A little peace and harmony would do some of us good, especially the newcomers. [The fact he sounds so staunch is probably an indication he also needs to unwind himself, too. Frickin' "gearstick".] I like this idea of recreation better than the other suggestions I've seen tossed around on the link.

[poemssometimesrhyme]

I can imagine. Some of the individuals here are rather uncivilized.

[herodecoded]

Ah, but to cut the ties of the past...does it cut the binds or the bridge?

[poemssometimesrhyme]

Ah, a riddle.

Hm, I have to admit, this requires a fair bit of thought...

[herodecoded]

It is a riddle I have grappled with upon my arrival...

[poemssometimesrhyme]

As someone who has cut ties with certain elements of his past himself, I can understand such a feeling.

[herodecoded]

It is times like these that test the mantle of the fighting spirit

[poemssometimesrhyme]

True my friend, true.

I am Sky-Byte. And yourself?

[herodecoded]

I am called Dinobot. What world do you hail from?

[poemssometimesrhyme]

I'm not sure if it has a name, but a few people from my world are already here. One of the Starscreams, for one...

[herodecoded]

Cybertron! Yes, there seems to be multiple versions of our world...

Which raises the question of how our pulling here has effected them.

[poemssometimesrhyme]

Oh, well, it being Cybertron goes without saying, doesn't it? I thought you meant whether my reality itself had a name...

And I can't imagine my absence has affected anything, to be honest...

[herodecoded]

But considering the threads of time which tie our universes, our displacement could wreak havoc on our worlds...

[poemssometimesrhyme]

Ah, the cyberfly effect, you mean?

[herodecoded]

In a way, yes. No mech cannot move without effecting something else.

[poemssometimesrhyme]

That's a good point... but at the same time, if one worries about such a thing, they'll never have peace of mind.
