[hello, america! there is a very large autobot on-screen-- looks like in his brief time away he hasn't forgotten how to balance the camera right! if riptide is good at anything, it's getting attention for himself! he's sitting on heropa beach and the angle shows that even without standing he's a good 20ft tall.]

Heyooo! I'm back, apparently. This planet hasn't changed much. Is the world still ending? I remember that being a thing. We should have an end of the world party if it is! Or one celebrating that it's not the end of the world if it isn't anymore! I've been in a void for a long time, a guy wants to get inebriated, y'know?

[a beat, then:] Oh, can someone show me how to drive? I can turn into a car now as well as a boat. Pretty cool. I won't do it drunk, promise. Maybe.

If you think I haven't been converting some of our allotment into high grade this whole time, you are vastly underappreciating my v--

[ wait ]

You can turn into a car now??

Re: video;

[knaval]

I didn't doubt that for a second, Knock Out. You're a medic stuck on an aft-backwards planet with just Autobots for company. Of course you want to make high grade.

[because it's not like you like any of them, after all...]

Yeah! I'm pretty sure I'm faster and prettier than you, too. So there's that.

[ See, now this is why he appreciates Riptide's candor!

...

Okay, appreciation gone. ]

Faster and prettier my chrome-plated tailpipe, you overgrown tugboat.

i decided tdm doesn't count, also voice

[adamantlyardent]

RIPTIDE!?

yeee

[knaval]

Cece! I'm back now!

[like that wasn't obvious.]

Hey, what's up?

[adamantlyardent]

Omigawds, are you seriously-?! [squeaky voice-crack of Emotions.] It's been months! I don't care about the relativity of time at all it's been so long for me!

[Here, have a tiny ball of sunshine staring at the screen, Riptide.]

Why would have an end of the world party?

Re: Video

[knaval]

Why wouldn't you?

[genuine question.]

Video /slowpoke noises :(

[moonlitpath]

Because I'd be trying to stop the end of the world?

[Because she'd feel obligated to, at least. Um.]

But! It's not ending any more, so we should have a party for that instead.

[Sagest of nods.]

Look at that, you're back.

Re: video;

[knaval]

Sure am, Sweetroll guy! [he doesn't remember your name finn, sorry. he's still kind of an asshole.] You been here this entire time? My condolences.

[fireandhoney]

Oh, it hasn't been so bad. Obviously we saved the world.

[drivesadesk]

Riptide! So much has happened since you left. The world's not ending, and my boyfriend and I live on a boat now!

[knaval]

Did you name it after me? I'll be flattered. A little weirded out, but mostly flattered.

[drivesadesk]

I didn't, no. We named it 'Starry Eyes'. It would have been confusing naming it 'Riptide' when you could come back at any time.

What's it like to be a car?

Re: video;

[knaval]

Honestly, very similar to being a boat. Only... you know, on land.

[because roxas knows what being a boat is like...]

[pullsheavendown]

Oh. Right.

[He has no idea what it's like to be either but. How does he respond to that.]

Do you like one better than the other?

[bifroster]

Wait, you have two alt forms??

Re: video;

[knaval]

I usually only have one, but now I have two! I'm just that cool, I guess.

[never mind he doesn't know how to use the new one.]

[burlyboy]

Whoa-hoah-hoaaaa! Now there's a face I haven't seen in a long time!

I dunno if I've ever mentioned this, but I've, ahem, got vehicle proficiency.

[ And no driver's license. ]

Welcome back, buddy!

[knaval]

You're good at vehicles? Does that mean you turn into one too? [close, but no cigar.] Hey, mate! I mean, if you can help me I'd appreciate it.
