[Video] [Transmission Originating From: The Junkpile]

[herodecoded]

[Dinobot felt in a philosophic mood. So much had transpired from the moment of his death. He was certain this was not the Pit or any afterlife. What afterlife would allow fleshlings? The Maximal had so much to question. If he had already saved history...why do the task of bringing him back again? Why at this point in time?

He decided the best method would be to reach out to the others, to see just what exactly these so-called Primes had brought to this world. Maybe then he could understand their vision...]

Is history a tale told by a fool, or something more? If fate does not write our history, does it matter who does the writing? Must free will be the absence of fate or must it be its tool?

That which I decide be mine or merely the shade of another's work? Does this story's beginning simply involve our resolution?

Oh that this too too solid metal would melt...

...So, you're a warrior poet....?

[engrishdetective]

More like a bore-ior. Yawwwwwwn.

[not_halfbaked]

[Korra snickers, though on some level she knows she really shouldn't.]

[herodecoded]

Make no mistake, I am a warrior first and foremost.

[herodecoded]

And what would a machine like you know of battle?

[not_halfbaked]

But a warrior can be both, right? A poet too? I remember hearing about old stories on those guys, and they were fierce as hell, even if sometimes they didn't really make a lotta sense....

[engrishdetective]

Well, gosh, it's not like I'm a police officer or anything. What do I know indeed.

[engrishdetective]

[GURL, he heard you laugh. That's good enough.]

[herodecoded]

In a way, yes. However, a warrior's true concern is of the battlefield. Let that be a lesson to your kind.

[herodecoded]

There is a difference between serving the code of the warrior and serving a simple law.

[engrishdetective]

Whatever floats your boat, Warrior Guy. But you're simplifying what I do unnecessary.

[herodecoded]

Order does not come from others, it comes from within!

[engrishdetective]

Well, I guess it's a good thing order is what I was constructed for. I got off easy.

[darthmalgus]

Fools sit around and question the ideals of fate, those who succeed are the ones who move forward and make their own destiny.

[Video] Eee I have so looked forward to meeting Dinobot!

[sword_redemption]

((ooc: he was my favorite BW character /shameless fangirling ))

History is what we make of it, I think. Things happen, and we respond, and it's those responses that start adding up to our 'destiny'.

But we can change that. If we try hard enough.

[He really, really hopes.]

[voice]

[herodecoded]

And only fools believe they are not bound by their own obligation and nature, fate be damned!

[Video] Ha, thanks

[herodecoded]

What of those who are bound to their obligations? Not even fate can offer them respite...

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

Everyone's bound by obligations. That's supposed to be what holds a society together, isn't it?

[He's still trying to figure this out himself.]

You make it sound so depressing.

[Video]

[patokichi]

History depends on who you speak to. Everyone sees their own reality.

[Video]

[herodecoded]

Society is not my concern. I have more pressing matters to attend.

The truth is painful.

[He's not gonna sugar coat it for anyone.]

[Video]

[herodecoded]

History is not an optical illusion! History is its own entity. What I ask is who writes history?

[Video]

[patokichi]

Well, what I mean is, depending on who it is, everyone experiences things differently. Notable 'history' that may be important to one person is not so much to someone else. They would omit it.

You could go by the proverbial answer of "History is written by the victors", but I prefer the subjective, rather than the literal.

[sword_redemption]

What's more pressing than society?

[He's honestly asking, not challenging.]

[audio]

[megamind]

You're doing it wrong.

[How dare you massacre Hamlet. Megamind's not even human and even he'll cut you over the bard.]

[herodecoded]

Not difficult to see you most certainly had it easy.
