[Drift's still a bit stained and scratched up when he appears on the video feed. He'd intended to clean up first, but orders are orders, and a little spider gunk never killed anyone. It just smelled awful, but that doesn't--thankfully--travel over video.]

As Ultra Magnus has brought up, we have missing.

Some of us can search for the missing, and try and figure out what this Calling is. But we need ideas so we're all on the same page. [A wince. 'Page' isn't a great word for him after that whole...mess.]

Especially about this 'Unicron' and how to defeat him.

[He cocks his head.] The Link might not be the safest place to talk openly, so to be safe, I figure we could have a meeting. Out where the others are building the Rec Center, unless anyone else has a better idea?

((OOC: I'll get the log up later, DW willing?))

[Point, and what Drift fears.]

If there was war, whose side would you fight on?

Unless they can't. Unless they're not as powerful as they want us to think.

[dinnerdate]

Does it matter? It'll end the same for both sides.

If they aren't strong enough then what luck would we have?

[sword_redemption]

It matters. Because if fighting for freedom, for a better future, doesn't matter, why do anything?

[He's just going to crank the Existential Optimism up to about 11.]

[dinnerdate]

You'll end up rust either way... I'm a Decepticon, and I'll fight for them because Megatron hired me.

[There. He answered the question.]

[sword_redemption]

Yes, we die in the end. But that's all the more reason to do something worthy in your life, don't you think?

...because he hired you?

[dinnerdate]

Worthy?

I'm a mercenary, so yes. Because he hired me.

[sword_redemption]

Worthy. So that you make your mark on the world, you make a difference.

And what if someone hired you from the Autobots?

[dinnerdate]

Good luck with that.

... It would have to be a really good deal.

[sword_redemption]

You don't think it's possible? Look at Megatron, or Optimus.

Well, what's your specialty?

[dinnerdate]

...Point. You probably won't need luck for that then.




Stunts, speed... sword fighting. Navigation, I guess.

[sword_redemption]

The rest of us do need luck. But that doesn't mean it's not worth it.

You just find something you believe in.

[Easy!]

Swords? [Did you say swords?]

[dinnerdate]

Easier said than done.

Yes... swords.

[sword_redemption]

What worth doing isn't, though? [Amirite?]

We could spar sometime?

[dinnerdate]

There isn't much worth doing.

... Not a fan of fighting.

[sword_redemption]

[Wow, he has to admire your tenacity to that whole...downer thing. ]

There has to be something.

[Right?]

How do you keep your skills sharp without practice?

[dinnerdate]

No.



Guess I don't.
