GHOST EVENT BACKDATED [AUDIO]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Hey, everyone, it's Drift. Um, something's... come up? I guess? It's probably not a huge deal, but uh...

[He sounds juuuuust a bit out of it, y'know like in the way someone who is terrified out of their mind might sound while trying to play it super cool at the same time. Man he is trying so hard to sound completely unbothered right now.]

Ah, well, the place Wing and I are staying is kind of completely surrounded by restless spirits. Is there a way to shoo them off, or are the angry souls of the prematurely departed now a permanent fixture here?

Completely surrounded? [Are you serious?]

[audio]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

They're a little tough to distinguish from each other, but if I had to guess, I'd say there's between...

[He takes a second to peek out some windows, one sec]

Between thirty and forty?

Re: [audio]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Scrap, mech, why'd so many come after you?

Re: [audio]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

I'm not sure? I mean, I'd ask them or something, but I'm mostly just hoping they've got the wrong address...

Re: [audio]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Yeah, I get the impression that's not the case. [too bad Drift won't see him eying his own spook over here...]

Re: [audio]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

But why so many? I mean, I guess I used to get on people's bad side a lot...

[by like killin em n stuff]

Re: [audio]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[He shrugs] Maybe you’re just special that way.

[That’s not helpful, Breakdown.]

Re: [audio]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

This really isn't the kind of special I want to be. Just throwing that out there.

Re: [audio]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Yeah, well, can't pick what kind of special we are.

[knight_light]

[WHAT?! And at a time when he's not home!!]

Are you safe? I'm on my way back.

[audio]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

I'm safe, sure. They're just stood around staring at the windows.

Re: [audio]

[knight_light]

[Well....that's unnerving.]

Do you....know what they want from you? [worried.]

Re: [audio]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

They haven't exactly told me.

I. I think I recognize them? Some of them, anyway.

Re: [audio]

[knight_light]

Recognize them?

......From your past?

Re: [audio]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

It's mostly vague, but... I mean, a couple of them I recognize pretty well. They were Autobots back when I was-

...Oh God. Wing, I think...

Can. Can you hurry up?

Re: [audio to action]

[knight_light]

I'm here.

[Sure enough his engine roars outside and he's transforming to drop down behind the spirits. He...braces himself and heads for the door. They all ignore him, like he's not even then. He manages to slip in without any coming in behind him.]

Drift?

[action]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[OH GOOD Drift IMMEDIATELY latches onto his arms and kind of tugs him away from the door Y'KNOW AS IF THAT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.]

Wing, I think I killed them. I think I killed all of them.

[don't mind the way his hands are shaking dude that kind of happens when your past is literally haunting you. So spooky.]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Oh, osti. Are... they doing much of anything?

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Not really? They're just hanging around outsi-OOOH THAT ONE'S GOT HIS HEAD THROUGH THE WALL.

...HI.

[the ghost isn't replying to his greeting 8(]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Well.

I could come over, mmmaybe take a look?

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Oh, uh, if you want, it's probably notabigdeal-

[it sounds like a big deal. the ghost is just hanging out in the living room now AIN'T NO BIGGIE.]

[10_20_15_5_50]

ON MY WAY.

And I am so so sorry I move so slow.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Oh, no, it's fine! You don't have to rush or anything!

[audio now I guess]

[10_20_15_5_50]

[That actually prompts an amused little noise.]

You haven't seen me on the move, man.

[IWASN'T SURE WHAT IT WAS i just roll with audio maaaaan]]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Okay, fair point.

I'll just. Wait here.

[and hope the ghosts don't eat him or something]
