[You know what's fun? Sitting around feeling depressed and listless. Chromedome's done a lot of that lately, and now he's struggling to pull himself out of it. That's not what Rewind would want, though thoughts of Rewind are what push him down to begin with. It's a sort of a vicious cycle.
When Chromedome appears on the network, he seems his usual cheery self.]
Well, you organics sure know how to keep busy.
[Someone hasn't really been paying attention.]
So who wants to answer a few questions for a mildly curious Cybertronian? I can't promise prizes, but I might be able to promise an interesting conversation.

[video]
[Yes you are.]
[video]
But I still like interesting conversation, so I don't mind answering yours!
[video]
If they're good questions, then by all means, go ahead. Of course, if they're bad questions I might end up answering anyway out of habit.
How about we use a "you ask one and then I ask one" system?
[video]
[spoilers: they're not good questions.]
But that sounds great to me! Why don't you go first?
[video]
What's your name?
[video]
What's your name?
[It's only fair to start with introductions.]
[video]
So where you from?
[Might as well get those out of the way, yes.]
[video]
[anyway after that tangent that had nothing to do with anything-]
I'm from the Halidom of Ylisse. It's on the continent of Ylisse. How about you?
[video]
Anyway, I'm from Cybertron. It's a nice place when it isn't being destroyed by a war.
You'll have to explain the, uh, Halidom of Ylisse to me, I've definitely never heard of it.
And since we're talking, are you a male organic or a female one? I can't really tell.
[video]
But, let's see... There are three kingdoms on the continent. Ylisse is in the southeast. It's mostly plains and mountains. Plegia is to the west, and it has more desert areas. Regna Ferox is to the north. It's usually cold and snowy. Anyway, Ylisse is ruled by an Exalt, which right now is my father, Chrom. He works to protect the citizens from bandits, enemy armies, Risen, things like that. Lately it's been mostly Risen, since the Fell Dragon Grima is trying to destroy the world.
[anyway that's it for the casual geography lesson! ...fortunately Morgan is not at all offended by the last question.] And I'm male! Although apparently, there's a female me in another world, but that's a complicated situation.
[video]
It's funny how many world-destroyers there are out there. I gather that the war you're talking about is between your country and the Fell Dragon Drima?
[Also thanks for clearing up the gender thing, Chromedome feels a little sheepish that he wasn't able to tell right away.]
As for Cybertron, it's a whole planet, not just a country. The war was so fierce that it completely rendered it uninhabitable. It's come back to life recently though, so all is well I guess.
[video]
If your whole world was destroyed, though... where did you go? Another Outrealm?[what is space travel. what is space, for that matter]
[video]
Anyway, we ended up leaving Cybertron and going... well, anywhere else.
What's an Outrealm?
[video]
[Anyway-] Okay, here's my question for you!
What do you look like without the armor?
[because clearly Chromedome must be a mountain of muscle even more spectacular than Kjelle to wear armor like that!
those references to 'organics'? flew right over Morgan's head.]
[video]
[Chromedome isn't very heavily armoured as far as combatants go. How is he supposed to describe what he looks like without it? It's literally a part of him.]
I guess you can say that I'm not wearing any armour.
This is my actual face.
video;
I'm actually quite curious about you and your kind as well, Chromedome. Brainstorm's told me a great deal more than I think he truly meant to. [And she has it all logged away for safe keeping!]
I had no idea that you and Brainstorm were called Cybertronians, though, he never mentioned that much.
video;
[What how does that happen.]
video hijack because Brainstorm creeps the network as part of his job
no subject
Did you at least tell her you were an Autobot? Or has that never come up either?
no subject
Heck if I know.
no subject
Has nothing to do with me though.
no subject
no subject
I just want to talk. About anything. To get my mind off of... things.
no subject
[Phantom Girl blinks for a moment or two before coming out with - ]
Did you know the Sangtee Blotch-Throated Wingfisher is the only vertebrate in the known universe with fifteen different genders? And they need at least four genders... involved in order to successfully reproduce.
no subject
What really?
[That really is mind boggling. It takes a moment for Chromedome to wrap his brain around it.]
You made that up!
[Only explanation.]
no subject
All I'm saying - don't go to Sangtee during mating season. Everyone who does ends up making a vow of celibacy.
no subject
Seems a bit excessive doesn't it.
no subject
[...A slight pause.]
...OK, I'm kinda sorry I introduced this topic now. Let's just pick a new one.
no subject
[Yes Chromedome, exactly that.]
Oh, right.
Hey...
If you were to switch your powers with anyone else's, who's would you take?
no subject
It'd probably be Superman. I mean, who wouldn't want to have his powers? He flies, he breathes ice, he has X-ray vision and heat vision like, at the same time or something... He's practically invulnerable.
[Video]
I can answer questions, you know. It's what I'm here for.
[Video]
I'm trying to do that socializing thing.
[You should try it sometime.]
[Video]
[He has been poking Chromedome to do something other than mope, so he probably shouldn't berate his friend for actually doing that. Oops.]
Do mind the easily amused organics, they'll never leave you alone if you encourage their fascination too much.
[Video]
I do like that a lot of them are impressed over the fact that we exist. Great conversation starter.
no subject
[It's a robot...?]
no subject
Oh, any kind. I've never interacted much with organics before, so I guess I'm just a little curious.
no subject
["Any kind" is a pretty wide selection.]
no subject
Is it true that the higher up an organic is, the sillier their hats are?
no subject
Yeah, I'd say. Master Yen Sid's hat is pretty out there.
no subject
I wonder what the significance of silly hats are.
Is it that the higher up you go, the less concerned you are over looking stupid?
no subject
Do you robot guys wear hats too, then?
[Video]
Well, depending on the questions I may or may not have answers, but I suppose it can't hurt if I try. What sort of questions did you have in mind?
[Video]
Hm, I do have to wonder what Earth's like. I've heard of it, but I've never really seen a human up close. Before coming here of course.
[Video]
Unless you count Hinoto-Ri, but that's more like an alternate dimension. I suppose if you had more specific questions about it I might be more able to help.
[video]
Oh! Oh! I can try! I like sharing data! Usually I'm the one asking questions, but I like answering them too, when I can!
