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

[alwaysadrift]

[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!]

Comments

[sorrynotguilty]

Willingly, yes. However, I was writing to clear out my thoughts beforehand.

[alwaysadrift]

Wow. So, focused on intellectual pursuits.

[Wow that's weird to say but also seems bizarrely natural?!?]

So what happened?

[sorrynotguilty]

You could say that.

[ c'mon Drift you know the truth. ]

A shield appeared seemingly out of thin air.

[alwaysadrift]

[He just did!]

A shield? Made out of what? Just...energy?

Wow, rude

[sorrynotguilty]

I didn't over analyze it at the time, but I would think energy, yes.

oh fine no more fake tags for juu then ;p

[alwaysadrift]

A protective ability...interesting. [Is he theorizing and reading things into that? Yeeeeaah probably.]

What is your gem type anyway?

[And what's your astrological sign too, while we're at it.]

BV

[sorrynotguilty]

I believe it is the 'Soul' one.

What of yours, Drift? You must be asking these questions for a reason.

[alwaysadrift]

You're soul too? [Interesting....]

Erm. Mine is...time. Which might be precognition. Which is, yeah, why I'm here asking. [Also heads up big guy, because if he's right you got a frenemy on the way and things are gonna get AWKward.]

[sorrynotguilty]

"Too?"

[ who else... maybe he can needle them a little. ]

Precognition. What a useful skill to have acquired, depending upon if it can be mastered and relied upon for accuracy.

[alwaysadrift]

Er, yes. Wing has that gem as well.

[No needling please. Gentle questions though, okay!]

Yeah. That, right there, would be the hard part.

[Though they've seen it work once, even if they didn't know what it was. That horrifying flash Drift had as they stood at fissure, allowing him to reach out, instinctively, and prevent losing Wing at the last minute. The jet had still lost a hand, but it was better than what Drift had seen... It had all happened so fast though, he'd been too shaken to understand what was happening.]

[sorrynotguilty]

Interesting.

[ makes one wonder what similarities they share. ]

Has anyone given you pointers on how you could reign in your power?

[alwaysadrift]

[Drift wonders the same thing actually.]

Pointers? Not really. A few are familiar with the power but uh, either have no personal experience or haven't provided much...useful information.

[Gamora is the closest to experienced and she seems more inclined to stab him honestly. Drift: expert friend-maker.]
