[ A very lanky man with messy white hair appears, raking some of the strands away from his face in agitation, only to have them fall back into place. ]

I'm going to start by saying that the displacement of my natural body is severely upsetting my energies. I hate to be "that mech", but I honestly don't know how much more of this I can tolerate. My chakras are in disarray, I itch everywhere, I keep forgetting that breathing is a thing that needs to happen, and the apartment lobby won't even allow me to offer the service of optimizing the energy flow through the building! I'm just feeling a lot of aggression here and quite honestly I'm catching a lot of very uncomfortable vibes. Outside of being physically uncomfortable that is.

[ He pushes his hair back again, fussing, attempting to tuck it behind his ear to no avail. He dismisses it again in favor of continuing. ]

That does bring me to the point that my swords are still missing. I realize at this point? Wielding them isn't realistic, what with being a fraction of my regular size. Yes, sure, I get that, but I still like to have them. They're important. So if anyone happens to see any outstandingly large swords around, chances are they're mine. I'd appreciate if you contacted me. I can't offer much as a reward. Perhaps I could offer to lead you through a meditation session? Or cleanse your focal energy passages? Anyways, the point being, swords. Big ones.

[ He gestures, as to the size of the blades. Yes, very big. Like he was telling a big fish story or something. His hair falls back in his face and he huffs at it, growing increasingly more irritated as he attempts to arrange it again. ]

Also could someone lend me something to tie this back? Or better yet, something I can use to shave this all off? I can't stand all this fur!

[ Relenting, he shuts off the feed, and the audio cuts out mid-sigh. ]

[ ... ]

Wait, I thought you said this was a real thing.

[weapabilities]

I did. It is a real thing.

[wreckjobs]

[ dubious face, complete with a good squint. ]

I don't know. I'm a medic [ 's asSISTANT ] and I've never heard of anything like that.

[weapabilities]

Well, it's more of a spiritual thing. Those who subscribe wholly to science tend to disagree.

[wreckjobs]

Then-- [ he's trying to follow along, but that's clearly proving difficult for him. ] They're something in your spark, yeah?

[weapabilities]

Kind of! More like an extension of your spark.

Judging from that, I take it you're Cybertronian too!

[wreckjobs]

Uh, yeah. Just another co-- mech for the crowd.

[ ... ]

Extensions how?

[weapabilities]

Hm, well nice to meet you. I'm Drift.

Extensions- you know how your spark powers your whole body? Kind of like that. They're points in your body. I could probably draw you a chart.

[wreckjobs]

Breakdown. [ and significantly more relieved: ] A visual would be good.

If it's all just spark energy, how's it get knocked around?

[weapabilities]

Well, give me a few minutes them.

How else? Your fuel lines of course.

[wreckjobs]

Huh, that makes... sense? [ the further he gets in that sentence the more doubtful he becomes.

pause. ] With the fuel?

[ he really needs that chart. ]

[weapabilities]

No, it's more like- look hold on a few minutes, okay?

[wreckjobs]

[ okay-- he holds. maybe a bit too literally; the video feed is a few minutes (just as drift said!) of breakdown waiting there, tapping his fingers on occasion, shifting with increasing impatience as the clock rolls on.

eventually, he makes a low noise; not quite a vent, stupid organics don't have quite the same airflow, but it expresses his budding frustration well enough. ] So?

[weapabilities]

Ahem. So here is the illustration.



The blue represents one's aura, and the red represent the chakras.

[paintjobs]

[ okay he CANNOT TOLERATE THIS ANYMORE ]

Excuse you! Stop that! Breakdown is impressionable.

[weapabilities]

Excuse me? He asked!

[paintjobs]

That doesn't mean he needed to know!

[weapabilities]

That's typically how it goes when someone asks. Besides, it's legitimate!

[paintjobs]

Legi-- are you serious? This is the opposite of legitimate! And as my medical assistant, the last thing I need is him getting ideas!

[weapabilities]

He should be free to form his own ideas!

[wreckjobs]

But he's right. I asked. [ 8( ... ]
