[ Oh look! It's Drift, your neighborhood giant robot. He looks pretty banged up, plating scraped and paint chipped in spots. More over, he doesn't look like his usual aggressively serene self. He glowers at the screen, downright dour, optics glowing coldly from under his helm. ]

I'm back.

Sorry to anyone I've been tutoring on swordplay.

Lessons are cancelled until further notice.

I'll be working on my house if anyone needs me.

Well, they're called eels, but what they really are is sentient photons! Really aggressive. Territorial.

[whatsupcroc]

What're photons?

[weapabilities]

Light particles.

[whatsupcroc]

They're aggressive, angry light particles? Woah... I bet they look cool! Sounds real scary, though, how do you stop light particles?

[weapabilities]

Yeah... oh they look cool until you see them really up close.

Annnd the short answer is you don't. You just kind of run.

[whatsupcroc]

Anyway to hide from them?

[weapabilities]

If you're lucky. They're nasty.

[whatsupcroc]

You know, somewhere out there I bet there's something nice that likes to invade and run up to others and give them surprise hugs or gifts or something, not just death.

( Said with a nod and the attempt to restrain her amused smile. )

[weapabilities]

Hmm. Hmm, you know not in my experience. Even the most seemingly innocent planets have their dark underbelly. And I'm talking places like Cuddlex and Lovetopia of the Benevolon sector. I'm talking breeding haemoslaves to fight the Antigod. Nice on the outside but wow. Yikes.

I mean things you wouldn't expect...

Oh and don't even ask about Giggleopolis. Jeez.

[ Yes, these are canonly real places in the Transformers universe... ]

Ahaha... I guess that sounds pretty dismal. But uhm. As far as nice creatures who do nice things. I suppose I've documented at least one right here on this planet.

[ He smiles. Looking at you Collette. ]

[whatsupcroc]

Now you're really being a flatterer!

( Not that she minds; she's listened wide eyed to his list of crazy sounding places, amused and bemused by the universe. )

Feeling better?

[weapabilities]

Hey now, all I'm saying is people like you are a rare breed. No matter what species you look at.

And ah, yeah. I am, a bit. I have a lot of thinking to do... but I think I'm going to be okay.

[whatsupcroc]

( She gives him a thumbs up. )

Glad you can see that too!

[weapabilities]

[ He chuckles a bit. ]

You are a very good friend.

[whatsupcroc]

I got to learn from some of the best. Besides... you're not so bad as a friend yourself, big guy!

[weapabilities]

Heh, well. I'm learning. Slowly.

[whatsupcroc]

Slowly still means progress! You'll get to great friend sooner or later.

( She winks. )

I should probably get going for now. We'll hang out again soon, yeah?

[weapabilities]

Okay.

Thank you for coming to see me. Would you like me to drop you off?

[whatsupcroc]

If you want the exercise, I won't say no! Though it's pretty decent running weather for me.

( No rain, for once! )

[weapabilities]

Ah sure, why not.

[ He folds down to vehicle mode and helps her in. He'll see her home safely. ]
