exsilium | [Video] Well this is awkward.

[ 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. ]

Oh, my!

_{[Machines are more her friends thing, but she can appreciate this, too. Have a very fascinated and friendly smile Drift.]}

You seem like a nice person. Why not just be yourself?

[ What a sunny disposition. He smiles back. ]

Well, I appreciate that, but I don't think everyone will have the same opinion.

_{[His smile in turn makes her smile wider. This is so cool.]}

Why don't you think so? Have you had any really bad experiences with culture shock?

_{[She doubts that he's awful, but hey, people make mistakes without meaning to, sometimes.]}

Oh well. Last experience with organics was not the best.

[ He shrugs. ]

This time around has been a lot better.

Not too terrible, I hope?

_{[She looks a mite concerned.]}

I'm glad that this is a lot better for you, though! As it's been said, a lot of people aren't human here, so I think the best thing you can do is just to treat others kindly and respectfully and hope for the best. I have to say, I am ignorant of Cybertronian culture, so I can't speak of any customs or mindsets you might be used to that might not...translate well, but you seem very nice to me.

Eh, depends on who you ask I guess.

[ He waves a dismissive hand. No need to worry. ]

I've noticed it's pretty. Eclectic here, so I haven't had much issue with the other Transports. It's juts you know. Being in public...

I see. Well, as long as no one got hurt!

_{[She doesn't want to be nosy, so she'll just leave it be.]}

Oh, I can see how that might be awkward. I'm guessing you have trouble getting around?

A little, at least in highly populated areas. I'd hate to hurt someone on accident, you know?

I understand. Yeah, I can see how that might be worrying.

Yeah, it's incredibly so. There are so many nice people here.

_{[She looks thoughtful a moment.]}

Maybe there's a way around that, somehow...

Well that's also what the holomatter would be for.

How does your holomatter work, exactly? I'm familiar with all kinds of holograms, but wouldn't you just be projecting it from somewhere with the rest of you staying put? Or does this work differently?

[ There's a brief pause before Drift readjusts the screen and materializes the holomatter. Who appears to be a young man, dressed like a samurai. ]

Kind of. I'm no scientist, but the holomatter lets the mech stay put, and has a pretty good range. It's solid enough to pass as completely normal in the real world, as far as tangibility goes.
