[Voice | Location Untraceable] Regrets collect like old friends...~

[raceme]

I DON'T remember everything that happened that last week and the things I remember..those aren't very nice but...

[The voice that speaks is clearly Blurr's. He sounds like his usual self again, but his voice is quiet, occasionally punctuated by long pauses, as if he's not sure how to continue.]

..I know I found a page. ONE of Trion's apparently and I...drew a few things that..._{I..I didn't knew this was going to happen and} ...and Wing and Ratchet… that was my fault too I drew them and they went insane.. like I did and I am the one to blame for that _and the bombs...[Blurr was trying to keep some composure, but his efforts are a lost cause.]

I-I'll take responsibility and accept the punishment you might deem necessary for the offenses but THEY weren't themselves and all this mess was only my fault..I...


...I'm sorry.

[The comm link cuts abruptly.]

[Let's not add more fuel to this thing by going with video. Elita sounds a bit tight as she speaks, but it's hard to tell whether that's anger, exasperation, or due to something else (which might or might not be repaired injuries, shh.]

Blurr, while feeling some measure of guilt's making it obvious you didn't mean it, and you couldn't have known what would happen... How are you supposed to take responsibility for something you didn't have control over?

[She hesitates, and then decides not to say something about how he wasn't the only one, since it technically originated with him, the point would probably be lost at this point in time.]

[raceme]

[He does not know that she got injured but once he discovers Blurr would feel even worse.]

I..I drew them..it was my fault they turned like that even if ti was unintentional...

Are YOU okay?

[invisiblepinkboat]

And it's Alpha Trion's fault those pages were found all over the place, and we drew on them, since I'm not sure most of us usually have the urge to draw on... paper?

[She didn't even know what that was, and only knew now because she'd flicked through her bare information on Earth and human civilization when she found the page.]

Let me count the strikes, Blurr. One, you did what everyone else who found a page did, regardless of the contents. Two, you didn't know what would happen; none of us did. Three... In your right mind, you didn't plan any of those things.

[Pause, a moment of silence as she considers what to say, humming softly.]

Yes, at the moment I am.

[Which was perfectly true.]

[raceme]

[All those are very good points. He still feels bad, so it takes him a few to reply.]

...



....



....if only if were that easy...

'At the MOMENT'?

[invisiblepinkboat]

[She hopes you're listening to them. While she's certainly not happy at getting caught in one of the bombs, the real Blurr wasn't exactly home to do what he would have done, so while it's still his fault... he obviously already feels guilt.]

Technically, it is. None of that would necessarily make you feel better, or make people stop blaming you, but they're still true.

[...]

We all have our good and bad days. I've been better.

[raceme]

[He will try to listen, however he won't feel at ease anytime soon.]

I don't mind the blaming I know I deserve that.

It is there _anything I can ^{do to} help you?

[invisiblepinkboat]

[Deserving or not, she huffs on her end, shaking her helm. And besides that, there really isn't too much he could do, is there..? She got repaired, she has...

Ah.]

Would you want to go racing with me? [Her smile can probably be heard.]

I should have a much easier time than before to travel over solid ground now.

[raceme]

[He doubts for a second, surprised by the offer.]

I would like that but your alt mode is a boat, right?

Howso?

[invisiblepinkboat]

It was, yes, and I'd been deliberating over if I'd made the right choice... But after what recently happened, I decided to change.

[Have a brief flash of video, not actually of a live recording of Elita, but rather a holographic schematic of a sleek strange vehicle balancing on merely one wheel, two "wings" on each side.]

Solus Prime provided help I'm very grateful for, so from now, it's certanly very possible for me to race you.

[raceme]

[Elita why you always so shy when it comes to video]

Oh that's....like anything I have seen before. I LIKE it.

I would like that yes.

[invisiblepinkboat]

[She was, actually, mostly attempting to accomodate you, Blurr, since you started this off with audio only.]

I thought it was pretty interesting, and while I had some more conventional designs to choose from as well, this... [She chuckles.] Well, change is part of what we are, right?

[On her end, as he agrees, the earlier chuckle, lingering about her lips, turns into a smile.]

Wonderful. Just say when. It'll be interesting and useful, besides fun, to see how far I can push this.

[raceme]

[Oh, he would feel touched if he knew it was because of that.]

It IS How did you find it?

Ah,,Iwillletyouknow...I need to get ^{some things} fixed first...[And recharge, but there are more pressing matters that require his attention.]

[invisiblepinkboat]

I had the fortune of meeting Solus Prime a bit before the... ah, mess with the... pages.

[She huffed, shrugging at her own end.]

Since it hasn't been easy finding an altmode that would accomodate my size, mass and let me keep the back-mounted panels due to how they fit my fighting style, I asked if she had some suggestions on what I could do...

She gave me a few designs to choose from.

[At first she nods at Blurr's confirmation, and then catches herself and makes an affirmative noise as well.]

Like I said, when you have the time. I don't think we're in a hurry.

[raceme]

I only saw her in person when I first arrived, in the JUNK PILE. Itwasprobablynotmybestimpression.

[Blurr is impressed.] That was really nice of her I'M glad she helped you.

I will let you know I promise.


...



Thank you Elita-One. [He's obviously thanking her fore more than just the promise of a race.]

[invisiblepinkboat]

She's very... impressive, and while I'm sure she's busy, she's certainly not without patience to listen to a request. I'm grateful.

[Partly because this means it'll take less time to get around, partly because, well... It is a very nice altmode.]

Don't worry about it, Blurr. It'll be all right. [Can't see her smile, but it's most certainly there as she does pick up on the nuances of what he isn't saying as well as what he is.]

[raceme]

They're all busy mechs IT'S understandable. [But now Blurr would like to meet Solus one day.

Really really really nice. Blurr can tell.]

See you around then Elita. [He's glad she gets it.]
