[Video] [Originating from Trionic Temple]

 [The feed opens to show everyone's favourite crow girl, who...in all honesty has been in better spirits. In fact, she's nothing like how she usually is.  Instead of bouncing around, she's taken to remaining curled in a beanbag chair in her room, holding the link as if it could disappear at any moment.  Her eyes are red and puffy, her cheeks are tear streaked, it's...it's a mess.  When she realizes the feed is on, those eyes harden for a moment.]

I want to see everyone right now. Bad things happen when people leave.

[She's rather short on words right now.]

Soundwave...I need to see you. Please.
 

Private to Cliffjumper (Prime)

Thank you for picking me up...

[And she can hear something of that in Kay's exclamation, besides the obvious excitement and speeds up accordingly when she can. Flat expanses of metal and rock are nearly frictionless thanks to the fact that the wheel is merely there to balance her, not really aiding in forward momentum.]

I'd never turn down a request like that.

[She even takes a bit longer than she would need to, using a flat expanse of what might be similar to glass to slide, high-speed, coming into a full spin as she leaves the glass and she can't really keep the her brief laughter contained before she straightens out and speed towards a particular area in the distance, which is surrounded by a faint glowing haze and definitely seems to be... sparkling?]

[The sliding causes her to squeal, curling into herself as her stomach does a somersault. It was an amazing feeling, to be out like this. She didn't want it to end, and for a moment, all she'd been worrying about slipped away. No Overlord existed. Everything was okay now. All that existed was this ride across Cybertron.]

Wow...and you guys get to do this whenever you want?

[Granted, being the vehicle wasn't the same as riding in it, but still...it had to feel exhilarating.]

...Whoa...what's that?

While I've been spending a lot of time on a ship lately, I try to take the chance as much as I can, yes.

[It's not hard to tell what Kay's exclaiming over, and while she can't smile physically at the moment, she's still doing it privately.]

I put a crystal I found in Solus Prime's temple in the ground over there a while ago... It's been growing very well.

[Well enough she was honestly rather surprised, and what they came up on after Elita made sure the temperature outside was safe for Kay and she let her out and transformed, was a respectably-sized copse of... "trees".

Positively giant (considering the larger ones were sized as trees to Elita), lacy-structured crystal formations that reminded of trees. As soon as any light from the distant sun or the nearer Prima's lamp fell across the crystal, it turned into rainbows, seemingly at random. Mostly, it was a pristine, milky-blue opaque colour.]

These are very similar to what could be found on my Cybertron before the war, and I know some of it has been regrowing.

Y-You can...grow crystals? Let me guess! They grow into crystal trees that make diamonds!

[That got her extremely excited as they pulled up, hopping out as quickly as she could to get a good look. And...it was as impressive as one might expect.

She's practically dumbfounded, staring up at them like she just found the lost city of Atlantis, or the gold of El Dorado.]

It's BEAUTIFUL...

Considering where diamonds come from, not really. But yes, crystal grows.

[Glancing from Kay to the giant crystals, they could probably just as well be diamonds, for all their non-existence on Earth and thus, technical value from raity.]

It's tiny, but it is... There were forests of them in my reality, now regrowing.

[Her eyes widen in wonderment at the idea of a crystal forest. Without another thought, she turned to Elita.]

Are you trying to grow a forest? Can I help?

[When Kay says that, Elita pauses not just at the bright-eyed delight, but also the words themselves. She hadn't actually thought about manually spreading it...]

... That's a good idea. I don't see why it wouldn't work to break some pieces off and sticking them in the ground. That's what I did with the original one, after all.

[She gestures to Kay to go before her; she'd offer to carry the girl, but if Kay's actually going to put down crystals in the ground, she'd just have to go up and down and repeating... seems a bit too impractical.

When they're close enough to one of the "trees", Elita follows a low branch to carefully break off first one, and then another tiny shard at a lacy edge. To her, neither piece is longer than her smallest finger... To Kay, when she hands them over, they're obviously quite a bit larger.]

Why don't you keep one of those for yourself?
