Hey! Excuse me! Anyone on this line?

[This voice sounds... like you are talking to Guyman himself. Musical and modulated, and kind of sort of loud]

Since when did Cybertron have grass? Or... y'know still be here? The fact that it's still... I mean that it's not... y'know really... dead and stuff is sort of-

NO REALLY WHY IS THERE GRASS HERE?

[He sounds pretty disturbed by this]

Not that grass is bad! I like grass, it was great on earth, if... y'know anyone here has been there at all, but like- Is that a farm? ... There's a tiny farm he- Did anyone see the tiny farm? Oh my god, I have to get a picture of this no wait, hold on.

[He looks amused.] Is the grass really the biggest shock right now?

[Really? Grass? When you've suddenly found yourself somewhere new and you're freaking out over grass? You're cute.]

[forever audio]

[popculturecon]

Well it's on Cybertron!

[knight_light]

[He chuckles.] It is. It is. And the grass really is a shock. I take it you were on Cybertron before finding yourself here?

[popculturecon]

Well no I was on earth, but earth is supposed to have grass. Like, fifty percent of it is dirt, and the other fifty percent is grass.

[knight_light]

It sounds beautiful.

Well, I guess I should welcome you to this odd Cybertron. My name is Wing.

[popculturecon]

It is! It's got trees and mountains and all sorts of little furry animals and humans and oceans and deserts, all sorts of cool stuff!

But... y'know it's... well it's not Cybertron.

Nice to meet you, Wing! I'm Soundwave.

[knight_light]

[His optics flicker softly. Soundwave? The autotuned voice certainly makes that easy to believe, but...wow. He's never met the Decepticon, but who doesn't know of Megatron's most loyal?]

[Still, this one had been friendly so far.] It's a pleasure.

May I see who I'm speaking with?

vidja

[popculturecon]

Yeah sure hold on.

[OH MY GOD ITS A GUY WITH NO FACE. A really skinny, gangly looking Cybertronian with a full mask covering just his whole face.]

\o/

[knight_light]

[Wing's smile grows. Wow, he's not seen that before, and it's odd, but he's also not one to freak out about it or be rude.]

Well, it's nice to meet you, Soundwave.

[popculturecon]

Sweet. Okay so I met you, aaaand I met Breakdown, that makes two Cybertronians.

Where is everyone? Why is everything so quiet, you'd think having been revitalized a ton of Cybertronians would just come flooding back but like there's...

Nothing.

[knight_light]

Well, most are in the city proper. Though we're still not many, a few hundred I think.

The reason for that actually has a lot to do with this particular Cybertron. See, this Cybertron is incredibly young, our kind haven't come to be naturally in this reality yet. All the Cybertronians here have been pulled from other realities than this one.

[popculturecon]

W-really?

... So this is like just... newly formed, no one here yet Cybertron?

... Well uh... guess that explains the issue with the population.

[knight_light]

Yes. And what population is here have all been misplaced from other their own realities.

You'll meet others when you get more towards the center of Haven.

[popculturecon]

Well I found one! And... you! So that's two people, and Knock Out is here too!

Just... no one... I know.

Okay! No it's okay, that's fine I'll just... make some new connections, no big deal, whatever, right? I don't care.

[I CARE IMMENSELY]

[knight_light]

[Sympathetic smile.] You don't have to pretend, friend. It's okay to miss those who aren't here with you, it's normal.

[popculturecon]

[BUT THE OTHER SOUNDWAVE BREAKDOWN TOLD HIM ABOUT WOULDN'T CARE, WING]

Yeah but like they aren't even- Like what if they never show up? I mean I can't sit around thinking about that forever, can I?

[knight_light]

[THE OTHER SOUNDWAVE IS INSANE!]

No, but you should never give up hope. Besides, caring about those from home, not forgetting them, doesn't mean you can't make new friends here. They don't replace those you cared for back home, just add to those you care for.

[popculturecon]

[BUT HE'S SO BADASS]

I... I know. I know that, it's just... like everyone acts like it's really easy.

And it's not easy to just walk up to some mech you like and go 'Hey buddy you look cool! Lets go hang out!'

[knight_light]

[Friendly is better than badass.]

[He chuckles softly.] Nothing worth having is easily gotten, Soundwave. It's not easy to put yourself out there like that.

But, to make this at least a little easier, I'd be happy to hang out with you some time.

[popculturecon]

You would?

I mean-

Yeah! That's great, that'd be awesome, we can hang out! Uh... And like do stuff like...

...

Um...

Do you like video games?

[knight_light]

[He grins.] You know? I don't know. I was far too restless back home to consider sitting down to try any. I'd be willing to try a few if you'd like to meet.

[popculturecon]

Oh! Oh oh, Wing! Okay so I totally just talked to Knock Out-

Like... not my Knock Out but a Knock Out-

And he said you knew how to use a sword? Like for real? And then he mentioned something about a guy with thighs, and I totally... don't think his name is Wonder Thighs uh.... but... y'know anyway...

I have a sword and I have like... no idea how to use it? Like at all? So um... y'know if you don't like sitting around mayyybeeee you could like... show me... how to use one?

Maybe?

[knight_light]

[The "Wonder Thighs" has him hiding a grin behind his hand.] Drift. His name is Drift.

[He pulls a vent...] It is a possibility. I'd like to meet you in person, before I agree to anything.

[Though with the impending fight against Unicron likely being a thing one of these days, he's actually inclined to say "yes".]

[popculturecon]

Okay I thought Wonder Thighs looked a little funny, Knock Out didn't know his name.

Sure! Okay, like, do you wanna meet right now? You can just give me your coordinates, I'll be there in a second!

[knight_light]

Yes, we can meet now.

[One moment and he'll send his coordinates.]
