re_alignment | [Video | Alpha Trion's Temple]

[There's a moment of fuzz before the video actually settles and comes through completely, Smokescreen standing just outside Alpha Trion's temple, one hand resting on his hip as he holds the camera with the other. He'd been filled in by an acolyte, of course, but that didn't make him any less prepared to believe completely, meaning that he had to go out and see everything for himself. A part of him wanted to find Alpha Trion himself--mostly because he couldn't believe the other was still functioning--but right now he wanted to see if he could find any of the others.]

Smokescreen reporting in. Anyone from Team Prime out there? I figured it'd be best to touch base with at least someone before I started trying to just find you guys or something like that.

[Despite the odd nature of his situation, Smokescreen seems pretty relaxed--or he's at least keeping himself together pretty well because he's not really sure how he got back to Cybertron. Sure the acolyte had told him about that giant hole that was dumping people through but..that..was about as believable as saying Starscream had changed for the better. At least in his opinion.]

Arcee? Bumblebee? Bulkhead? Ratchet? Optimus? Anyone? Come on guys, don't leave me hanging please. I really want to get the real details of whatever's going on and you're the ones I want to hear it from. As much as I'd love to just believe this was all good and well and Cybertron was really in an okay state like this, you'll understand if I completely and totally don't believe it right?

[He's itching to go and do something, like always, shifting his weight back and forth as his doorwings twitch some.]

Calling all Autobots! Please respond!

[Bulkhead stops as Smokescreen approaches. Man this bots got a lot of energy in him.]

Heh, it's good to meet somebody addin' to our numbers back home. [He'll offer him a hand to shake.]

Specially one with so much optimism.

[Smokescreen immediately takes the offered hand, grinning brightly.]

I do my best. With the optimism thing I mean. It's not hard to have optimism though when you're apart of Team Prime. I mean, what greater honor and privilege is that?

[Then again, knowing that Bulkhead is a former Wrecker, working alongside him seems that much more of a privilege as well.]

[Bulkhead will shake it in return.]

Yeah, but it's equally hard to have any, specially after fighting for so long, and... [He'll indicate his injuries.] So many injuries...and worse.

[Smokescreen's expression becomes a bit less overenthusiastic teenager and more the contemplative type as he lets go of Bulkhead's hand.]

Injuries and stuff like that can knock you down a peg but you can't let it derail you completely. Plus, you think I'm going to let you lose your optimism because of an injury?

[He rests his hands on his hips, giving the other a 'Bitch please' sort of look.]

Doubtful, big guy.

[Bulkhead drops his hand.]

Heh, no I get the feeling you'll be comin' into our berth and draggin' me out of bed in the mornin's.

[He hopes he wouldn't, since Wheeljack's not much of a morning bot, and neither is he these days, but the way the kid's going.]

[Smokescreen can't help but smirk a bit.]

I'll just let that threat speak for itself~

[He probably wouldn't, not really...he might just bang on the door for awhile.]

...me and my big mouth.

[He's amused, though. He takes no responsibility for accidental explosions in the mornings.]

See what happens? It's destiny now, big guy~

[Okay so maybe the idea is tempting but he doesn't want to make Bulkhead hate him or anything. But the way his door wings shift and his optics brighten a bit, it's clear he may use it later.]

[Oh he can tell. He'll have to watch out for you, Smokey. Clearly you're a devious one.]

Yeah, take it one day, one thing, at a time. Not sure what destiny's got to do with, though.
