[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.]

Private to Soundwave

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

Private to Cliffjumper (Prime)

Thank you for picking me up...

[And...a small smile appears on her face.]

T-That's really nice of you Miss Elita. I would love to...

[As long as no one tries to kill them while they're out oh god no Kay don't start thinking those thoughts just happy times please!]

Give me a few.

[She's already moving, and while there's a brief, static-laced confusion, soon the video shows a wide view of first the inside of Solus' temple, and then the outside as Elita drives on in altmode.]

It's on the outer edge of Solus Prime's temple [and briefly, there's a thought of continuing beyond, but it's there and gone so fast Elita doesn't even register it...] so there might be some issues with the temperature swings, but you'll be protected while you're inside and it won't take me long to switch if we get caught in a wave of high temperatures while out there.

[No one will even be out there, Kay, no worries.]

[She listens intently, but she'd be lying if she didn't say she was looking at that scenery. Wait...]

I-I'm sorry to interrupt Miss Elita...

but aren't you a boat?

[She laughs, softly and amused.]

I was, yes. Solus Prime was gracious enough to tailor a few altmodes for me to choose from, so that I could keep my current look. I've integrated it into my fighting, both offense and defense and nothing around here was suitable for that.

[So Kay will get to sit in a... slightly strange-looking racing car when Elita gets there.]

Wow! If I ever see Ms. Solus, I'll be sure to thank her! That was really nice of her to do.

[Now she can't wait to see what you look like.]

Are you almost there?

It was. I fully expected to offer something in return...

[She pauses with a thoughtful hum and then continues.]

In a few kliks... you should be able to get outside and I'll either be there when you get out, or I'll be there in a moment or two. I am decently fast.

[Or rather, very fast like this. Her boat alt had been a speedboat for reasons after all.]

Okay! I'll go meet you outside the temple then. You can't miss me!

[Or, she hopes you can't miss her. It's too late anyway, as she's already clicking off the feed and bolting towards the entrance.]

[Nope, she won't miss Kay and what will come to an elegant stop is a slightly odd looking vehicle, but clearly of a racing type, most of its mass forward and shaped somewhat oblong. The single wheel ought to make it impossible though she balances perfectly anyway ~~somewhat cheating, since there's hover mechanisms to keep her centered in rest~~.

And, of course, like always, pink.]

Seems like I couldn't miss you, no. Let's see if the space I do have is enough for you, otherwise we'll figure out something else.

[The voice as it emanates from Elita in altmode is somewhat unfocused; while it does seem to come from near the "cockpit" which also helpfully opens up while she speaks, there's nothing as obvious and clear as a mouth or even speakers.]

[Wow. When Elita said she had an interesting alt mode, she meant it. When Kay sees her roll up, her eyes widen, obviously impressed.]

Oh wow, Miss Elita...you look amazing!

[When that 'cockpit' opens up, she hurries over, sizing it up to see if she can even fit in it. It might be a bit tight...but it looks promising!]

[Elita chuckles, and waits for Kay to get in... because yeah, it might be slightly tight, but there should be enough space... and not terribly uncomfortable either.]

Thank you. I'm rather satisfied myself, even if I miss the way a boat altmode handles. How fast do you like to go?

[Gently teasing, but it's honestly meant, as compared to the speedboat altmode which was open to the air... with Kay inside Elita will be able to go a fair bit faster.]

The faster the better!

[She hops in, making sure nothing's hanging out to get caught in the cockpit as she wraps her arms around her legs. Oh man, she can hardly contain her excitement.]

Speed of light!

[Carefully closing up the cockpit after Kay's inside and nothing is, indeed, hangling out, Elita laughs and at first just... revs her engine a bit. She's not really laid towards playfulness, but Kay obviously needs some cheering up.]

As you say, ma'am.

[The second the hover-devices cut out there's a mometary wobble, and then they quite literally shot forward, though Elita was holding back somewhat. She was aware enough to know humans were a lot more sensitive than cybertronians, which would include effects of very high speeds, even protected inside.

That doesn't keep her from sliding in turns, or flying off obstacles a lot easier than she could with four or even two wheels... she's got a good enough suspension Kay shouldn't notice the outwardly jarring landings much.]

It'll take a bit to get to the other end of Solus Prime's Quadrant, and if you'd want to see the surroundings, I'll slow down more.

[She can't really get out of breath, but there's a certain airiness in Elita's voice as she speeds on; this is part of what she lives for, after all, and one of the few things she not just indulges in, but lets go during.]

[As soon as Elita takes off, Kay's eyes become as wide as dinner plates, peering out the window of the cockpit as the landscape zooms by. She's unable to contain her squealing, mouth open as those hands press against the glass. You'd think this would just be an average car ride, but no, it was so much more than that right now. It was high-speed, it was exhilarating, it was...free.

And she needed that like you couldn't believe.]

No keep going! I can see just fine!

[That's all she can get out before turning her head this way and that, getting a glimpse at all the rock formations whipping by. ]

[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?
