[Video] Well this is awkward.

[weapabilities]

[ Oh hey look, it's Drift. And it appears he's finally given up the gun on the whole trying to pretend he's not a giant awkward robot. He sucks at this whole secret thing. So have a giant robot. ]

So hi there. Uhm. Right. So I'm Drift. And I've got just a few questions.

First is that uh. I'm becoming abundantly aware that I'll probably need to find a better way to fit in here for obvious reasons. I do have something called a "Holoform" which allows me to project a solid holomatter representation of a human. But I'm really. Not a human. So there's that.

I guess what I'm asking is for some help in how humans or organics are really supposed to act.

Second, I'm looking for work. It doesn't actually have to be paid work, but anything I can do to help. My skills lie in.

Uh. Lifting heavy objects, chopping things and... well I'm pretty decent in a fight. So you know. Sparring or training self defense? Anything anyone can think of that they need help with. Please don't hesitate to ask.

[ He's a little desperate to make himself useful. ]

Ain't it, though? Guess most... species... are a mixed bag, that way.

[weapabilities]

Yeah. I guess I'll never be a "normal" human then. I can't really abide not helping.

[solitaire]

You could still blend in, maybe. If you really want ta.

[weapabilities]

What would you do? To the pit with it, is my guess?

[solitaire]

Me, blend in? _{( He laughs. )}

It's not so hard. If you act like you belong ta a place, no one much questions it. Even if you're bein' a bit strange.

[weapabilities]

So just act natural. Heh, alright. That's pretty fair advice.

[solitaire]

Guaranteed ta work. Y'could test it on the natives, here. A night on the town.

[weapabilities]

That's not a bad idea. Though I don't know what "a night on the town" would constitute for me. I gave all my money away to someone.

[ just so casually. Gave his money to a little girl he just met. ]

Maybe I should become a lumberjack...

[solitaire]

What'd y'do that for? _{( Giving his money away, he means. )}

[weapabilities]

Ah... they looked like they needed it more than I do. I mean really, I don't need things other than energon and oil or grease from time to time. And I have someone who can do maintenance on me for free so...

[ Implied shrug. ]

She looked hungry.

[solitaire]

You're a good person, mon ami. Prob'ly a bit too much, but that's no bad thing.

[weapabilities]

I- aha. I don't know. I don't really think so. But thank you for thinking well of me.

[ You don't really redeem yourself from years in the Decepticons, slaughtering innocents. ]

What does that mean? Mon ami?

[solitaire]

_{( Slaughtering innocents? Ahahah no worries, bro, he's been there. )}

Mon--that's my. Ami--friend. Simple enough, no?

[weapabilities]

Oh!

[ It's kind of a big deal anyone uses the F word with him. ]

Simple enough indeed, mon ami.

[solitaire]

Look at that. Y'catch on quick, too.

[weapabilities]

Well, I do try.

[solitaire]

Well, I like that. So if y'wanna learn the finer points a' bein' human, I'd be happy ta teach.

[weapabilities]

Really? Oh- oh that would be great!

Will we get to go do er. Uh. Human things together then?

[solitaire]

_{( He laughs. )}

Yes. Very human things.

Or as close as we can get, here.

[weapabilities]

Well, close is good enough for me.

This is exciting.
