knowhere | [ 001 - Hologram] What's big, pink and smells like....strawberries?

[There's apparently a lot of giant robots around here. This one's looking a little out-of-sorts though, and it's pretty clear why, when he holds up--or attempts to--a very large wiggly semi-transparent pink cube. Give him a break okay: it's quite slippery, given its gelatinous state.]

Uh. Does anyone...want this? I bought it in the marketplace. I thought it was, ya know, something I could eat. Apparently it's for organics though. [Don't ask how Drift knows this. A medical diagnostic might be on his to-do list though.] And apparently non-returnable now.

[He has no idea what organics would do with such a large quantity of 'strawberry jello' or why it has any right masquerading in the form of an energon cube, but oh well, lesson learned. Drift sets it down before it nearly slips from his hot little fingers, (nevermind the squelching noise please) and pulls out an energon ration pouch, the pink liquid inside sloshing around as he holds it up.]

I am looking for more of this though. It's our fuel, and trust me when I say it's not good for organics. If you see any though, let me know. I can pay you for it, if need be.

[Just...not a lot. What a time to be without his gold currency card. But seriously people, Drift really, really likes not staving! He's done that before and would rather not again. But you better believe he's just the type of idiot to give out what rations he brought with him to the others of his kind. Because even if he's not fond of starving, hey, positive side: he knows how to tolerate it probably better than anyone.]

So Wing, Rodimus, Megatron, anyone else... let me know what supplies you have? I have some rations, if you're in need.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Oh ... all of that was totally wrong but completely interesting. In fact --]

Yes, I've apparently forgotten. Why don't you refresh my memory and tell me all about it.

[Give him all the details including how its made. Oh please oh please tell him]

Starscream. [ that is a voice that promises so much pain. Starscream should be familiar with it. ] That's enough from you.

[ aaand to Drift: ] Do not so easily make such information public, Drift. Some conversations should be done in private and furthermore? Disclosing sensitive details to someone not from our reality is unwise.

You always know how to ruin a mech's fun.

Only yours, of course.

I don't suppose this is something you'd personally like to share?

What do you think?

I think it didn't hurt to try.

This time it didn't, no.

I mean ... can you really blame me?

I half expected it, really.

[asljklgag]

Err...

....o-of course. [Hand is effectively slapped. Although...] What are the chances anyone could even make use of that information?

This Starscream is a scientist. Also, while he may not necessarily be our version, he is still very much Starscream.

[ an opportunist WHO WILL FIND A WAY. ]

Is he? [Well frag. That's, uh, unfortunate. Especially combined with Drift's loose tongue. COUGH. But...maybe... also fortunate?]

He's the only one we have then.

[One is better than nothing?]

Yes, hence the reason for a certain amount of discretion, if yu don't mind.

Edited 2014-08-07 01:35 (UTC)

Er, right. I will [COUGH] do that next time.

There's a very human expression that I find might apply to you, Drift. Loose lips sink ships.

I.....

[shifty eyes]

That sounds lewd to be honest.

[Especially around nautical alts.]

You really shouldn't hang around Swerve as much.

[WELP after a pause for some hand slapping by Megatron on the other channel, Drift replies. And tries to ~~gently~~ steer the conversation elsewhere.]

You're not from our universe so it matters little. And you never answered my question earlier. What did Megatron say?

[Oh, irony.]

[Oh fine change the topic.]

... That you existed?

....

That's it?

[Wow letdown.]

It's not like he read me your autobiography or anything.

Well that's a relief honestly.

[In hindsight he'd rather this Starcream underestimate him than know what buttons to push.]

Personally I don't care about you or your life.

That is also a relief.
