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.

I.....

[shifty eyes]

That sounds lewd to be honest.

[Especially around nautical alts.]

You really shouldn't hang around Swerve as much.

It's kind of hard unless you never go to the bar. [Whiiiiicccch yeah.] Not such a much a problem anymore you notice.

[Kayne shrug.]

Frankly I'm surprised Ultra Magnus allowed for it at all. Really it's no wonder why there was no progress made.

I think the crew needed the outlet, a place to develop ties, create a community.

Though uh, some regulations might have been good. For the few who didn't know their limits.

[COUGHTRAILBREAKERCOUGH]

Well... That will no longer be an issue for a certain individual.

[ you know how Megatron operates, Drift. ]

Oh? ... Oooohhhhhh.

[An approving nod.] If it's who I think it is, that's good. Things were getting into the range of...unhealthy.

He'll be miserable, yes. But I think it will help motivate him regardless.

The drink is an escape, a security blanket to blind him from his troubles. But it's also a barrier. He'll never move forward with it as a companion. [A sympathetic chuckle.] The steel-cold sober route is certainly not the easiest, but I couldn't imagine you doing it any other way.

He is a barrier.

[ 8V force fields, Drift. the guy things he can hide from everything behind them. ]

[fffffffffff~]

No I. I totally knew that. Can't you take a joke?

[Totally taking credit for that one even if it was unintended.]

Joke? I don't think I've ever heard of that term before.

Stop, you sound like Magnus. [Oops was that catty? COUGH.] Do I have to take up a new cause to see you laugh?

[Don't challenge him Megatron, because he'll get serious!]

Drift. That was sarcasm.

[He knows that OMG.]

Now you really sound like Magnus.

[It's not a joke if you have to explain it!]

I'm not quoting the Autobot Code just yet.

...

That might be too surreal even for me.

[No offense.]
