knowhere | [002 - Hologram] It's like Deja Vu in reverse!

[Hello Knowhere, it's been a little while. Drift's generally good spirited demeanor seems a touch off-kilter today. Something's clearly gotten the swordmech in a state of awkward uncertainty.]

Sooo, uh. Has anyone, by chance....seen another one of my kind? But bigger, red chassis, blue helm, faceplate, tall audio spires. [As if Drift needed to illustrate that by putting his fingers to the sides of his helm; his own finials do that all on their own.] Sometimes looks like a big truck?

[AHEM.]

Answers to the name Optimus Prime?

[Because Drift swears he's seen the Autobot leader walking the halls of Knowhere. If Optimus had arrived, Drift would have heard about it before this, right? RIGHT? So was it a vision? Or has he taken too many hits to the helm? Maybe the last of the energon in his ration pack finally went bad? He still doesn't understand these powers that he--supposedly!?--has, and you know, how they're even supposed to work.]

Erm, on that note. Anyone out there with a time gem shard, if you've had an success with your powers, I'd love to hear from you.

[Tell him your secrets!]

Prime's here? ( HIS DAYS OF FUN ARE LIMITED, DAD'S HERE. ) Just like him to actually arrive and not tell anyone.

I don't know. I mean. He might be? He will be? That's why ask.

[Join the Confused Club, Rodimus; Drift is the current standing president.]

Why, are you missing your grand leader already? You Autobots can't do much without him, can you?

I haven't, but I'll keep my eyes open. If he's here, he'll probably see this, anyway.

( Have a scary alien lady in minimal clothing, Drift. But Gamora doesn't like talking about her experiences with the Infinity Gems, and not in public where just everyone can see. )

No. Haven't tried, but that won't make a difference in the end.

I thought your power was supposed to be helpful.

( Has he figured out his yet? Nope. But give it a bit of time. )

How do you know I'm an Autobot?

[Technically speaking he's. not. Sans brand and everything. But then maybe Starcream just assumes.]

Why else would you hang around the other do-gooders and be looking for Optimus Prime?

You can't miss him, trust me.

And I could hope so, I'm just...not sure he's here. yet.

[Sorry, but you aren't the first green alien lady in minimal clothing he's seen. You're also much shorter than the ones he's seen. The hair though, that's a nice touch.]

Won't make a difference? How so?

[...]

Granted.

[Yeah he's just gonna let Starscream think what he wants. Since well, explaining differently doesn't exactly cast him in a favorable light. /whistle]

Have you seen him then?

I never said that.

Technically speaking.

[Oh but wow he thought it would be too! And it has been, once, so far. Assuming that was his power kicking in at the fissure and not something else.]

( She'll somehow live with the disappointment. )

Because the last time I had the full gem it gave me visions whether I wanted it to or not.

Oh, precog stuff?

[Said in roughly the same tone of voice used to ask about weekend plans.]

But why would you not want them?

[Wait a minute.]

Did you say, 'full gem?'

You know me and technicalities, Drift. ( In that he doesn't care about them. Or possibly understand what they are. ) Still, if Prime is here, I've got a few words for him.

( Just the one: Megatron?!?!?!?! )

I. think. so?

[Said in the same tone of voice when accepting one's first invitation to a BDSM club.]

Because they're pointless and useless and no one believes you when you have them in the first place.

( Not that she's... speaking from personal experience or anything. )

I was in charge of keeping it safe for a few years. Me and a couple other people.

[Not Nita's scene, but as long as all parties are consenting, you have fun! :3 ]

Psi powers are supposedly kinda disorienting when they first manifest, especially the purely mental ones.

[She wouldn't know from experience; her mutation is about as physical as it gets.]

I think we all will. [Heya Prime, yeah I'm a massive screw-up and technically estranged from your Autobot family but FYI Prowl is worse?]

But I still don't understand how the power works. This isn't like it was with Vector Sigma. I don't know if he's here now or destined to be sometime in the future. Or I don't know...._{maybe it's nothing}. [He hopes not, because otherwise this whole broadcast is slightly embarrassing.]

[Not really Drift's scene either, this the air of SO UNSURE.]

Sigh powers? [WUT] OH. You mean, of the mind? So that's normal then, the disorientation?

[He assumes both you and Wing are Autobots and nothing is going to change his mind.]

No. But I'll be sure not to tell you if he ever shows up.

Psychic. Telepathy, telekinesis, precognition, clairvoyance, all that stuff.

[Can't throw a rock where she's from without hitting a psychic.]

And y'know, big guy, you've got a shard of an immensely powerful cosmic artifact bonded to your soul. It's gonna be weird regardless.

[She's pretty mellow about hers, but the Soul Gem is like that.]

That sounds like an immense responsibility.

But wow. [That's the sound of several tons of relatability crashing down.] I had thought that might be the case. That's why I-- [maybe he's checking the feed settings, glad it's locked] --never told anyone about my first one. Back home.

He knows, sort of. ( Rodimus was sort of vague on the specifics, but the word 'best friend' was used and really, everyone knows who his best friend is at this point. ) Super sort of vaguely that something might have happened and you uh. Weren't around.

( And got an epic smackdown because of it. But that's in the past, right? Right. And anyway, it's not like Rodimus won't immediately vouch for Drift in any way, shape, or form. )

Huh. Well if you think you saw it, it still could be something. Guess we just have to wait and see.
