Video Post - Ferdinand jumped up with a snort!

[peanutblooder]

"Uh. Hi everyone. Um. So my partner was kidnapped and beat up, and that is a very not-okay thing, and other attacks happened and people are flipping out about aliens which...uh, is problematic for other reasons."

Since, you know. He's a grey kid with giant bull horns from another planet and all.

"I-I don't know what's being done already, but, uh...it's pretty clear that we are all freaked out and, uh, and it occurs to me, that maybe, because there is a lot going on, and a lot of chaos, if we had some teams that were just focused on one problem or another, we might get more done. Or even both problems, sort of competing to solve them, like a game or something.

"Maybe that doesn't make sense. I, uh, am not a leader person, but we did that before, my friends and me, and it, uh...sort of worked. We found out a lot, anyway."

And now a bunch of private messages in orange courier with a dumb typing quirk!

[Blushing brown, Tavros stammers in the wake of the compliment.]

O-oh. Um. Thank you. Is, uh, not looking human a thing which you have, uh, personal experience with?

[notyourchauffeur]

[He smiles and nods. He's so awful at hiding himself, he gave up after Calendar Man, really.]

Well. Kind of. It's a work in progress.

[peanutblooder]

Oh. What, um. There are a lot of options that are not human, to be, uh, so what are you?

[Trying. So hard. Not to be offensive.]

Sorry, if that's rude to ask.

[notyourchauffeur]

I am a cybertronian.

I do not normally look like this, unfortunately I'm suck as a human for now.

[peanutblooder]

Oh. I don't know, if I know what that is! But it sounds, uh, very technologically advanced.

And, humans aren't that bad. You look like a very nice adult human male.

that moment when you catch a typo but it's way too late 8(

[notyourchauffeur]

Well. My species is what organics might call a "robot", though that term isn't quite accurate. Robots are automatons, cybertronians on the other hand, are fully sentient, evolving creatures.

No, they aren't. I very much like humans- and their planet. [He laughs.]

I was quite excited to become one. I just didn't expect it to be an extended... situation.

that moment when you realize you never replied. c__c

[peanutblooder]

Oh! Huh. That's pretty amazing. So you aren't, uh, vessels for someone's spirit? That, uh, happened to a friend of mine, once. And then, from some time shenanigans, she was hundreds of robots.

Happens to the best of us. C:

[notyourchauffeur]

Spirits? Oh my, no.

Hmm, her consciousness was split into mechanical containers? Fascinating. What kind of wold do you come from?
