[Video] feeling the Call

[sword_redemption]

[Drift has looked better. His armor's dented and stained, but nothing looks obviously fatal. More than that, he looks...tired. And twitchy. Which is not a good combination in anyone, least of all him.]

Going back out to the Badlands.

Don't follow.

((OOC: because of his canon (D-Void) and having been into the Badlands twice already, he's feeling the effects of the Calling sooner than anyone else. BUT feel free to comm him or stop him or whatever! ))

Drift...I've seen you at your worst, or near to it. I'm in this, with you. I love you, regardless.

[Why is it so hard for Drift to accept help? Especially from his loved ones.]

I know it's an enemy Drift. But it's a faceless, frameless enemy right now. What can we physically do against it? How do we fight it? I'm certain that's why the First Forged never made it widespread knowledge. It'd just create panic.

I-- [A beat, because he hates hearing the first three words so much that it makes him think he's misheard the last three.] You'll what?

[Drift looks...distressed.] Promise me, Wing. Promise me you won't let me hurt you.

Maybe I can goad it out, make it show itself. Because it's not getting to surprise me. That has to be something we can use.

[He frowns.] The Primes hid things from us back on Cybertron, before the war. I'm sure they thought it was for some similar rationale.

I'll come back. Wing, if we were brought here for a reason they won't let us die without fulfilling it.

[It's a distressing subject all around.] I-I'll defend myself Drift. You know I can. I promise.

Goad it out. And then do what? [He tilts his head.] How do you avoid being surprised?

[Drift has a point, though it's hard for Wing to imagine that the First Forged would conspire against them.] Maybe they don't want to involve us if they don't have to. I think they're trying to protect us, not involve us in their battles. It's not their fault their enemy keeps targeting us, is it?

Come back...from death? [He stares, his face blank.] How is that possible? Is that within the First Forged power?
