[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.

Are we allowed to ask questions in return?

[...:(] Well, that's too bad. I had a lot of good ones all ready!

But I still like interesting conversation, so I don't mind answering yours!

I think they're good questions...! But they're also my questions, so you might not think the same.

[spoilers: they're not good questions.]

But that sounds great to me! Why don't you go first?

I'm Morgan! Nice to meet you.

What's your name?

[It's only fair to start with introductions.]
tipthescales: (neutral)

[video]

[personal profile] tipthescales 2013-08-03 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
That's interesting name! Actually, funnily enough, my father's name is Chrom... But it's not pronounced the same as your name, so I guess they aren't that similar after all.

[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?
tipthescales: (thoughtful)

[video]

[personal profile] tipthescales 2013-08-03 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
So your country has trouble with war too? [clearly, Cybertron is a country]

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.
tipthescales: (unsure)

[personal profile] tipthescales 2013-08-03 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
More or less. Grima was the trigger that caused a few other wars. And if he's not stopped, our world will probably become uninhabitable, too, at least for humans.

If your whole world was destroyed, though... where did you go? Another Outrealm?[what is space travel. what is space, for that matter]
tipthescales: (thinking)

[video]

[personal profile] tipthescales 2013-08-05 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
An Outrealm is... [wow, it's hard to explain. But traveling to one must be what Chromedome did, even if the words are different!] It's another world. We could visit them through the Outrealm Gate. Some seemed very close to our world, while others were... very different, like the one where Risen were vegetarian. I'd actually call this city an Outrealm, but no one else here seems to.

[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.]

I wouldn't mind answering your questions, so long as I can reasonably answer them.

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 hijack because Brainstorm creeps the network as part of his job

Hey, it's not my fault she never asked!

[personal profile] phantom_envoy 2013-08-03 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
If it's 'what the heck's going on here', I don't think any of us can really tell you much.

Heck if I know.
phantom_envoy: (Default)

[personal profile] phantom_envoy 2013-08-04 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
What kinds of questions are you thinking of, then?
phantom_envoy: (GOLLY)

[personal profile] phantom_envoy 2013-08-05 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
...Um. OK, then.

[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.
phantom_envoy: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] phantom_envoy 2013-08-08 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. No one will ever know.

All I'm saying - don't go to Sangtee during mating season. Everyone who does ends up making a vow of celibacy.
phantom_envoy: (Default)

[personal profile] phantom_envoy 2013-08-08 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure they find ways to entertain themselves.

[...A slight pause.]

...OK, I'm kinda sorry I introduced this topic now. Let's just pick a new one.
phantom_envoy: (Unsure)

[personal profile] phantom_envoy 2013-08-08 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Like, anyone anyone? Anyone in my world? Anyone here? Anyone ever?

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.

Well, would you look at that, you can function.

I can answer questions, you know. It's what I'm here for.
universebeware: (Sigh.)

[personal profile] universebeware 2013-08-04 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose that's fair enough.

[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.
resipiscent: (uhh...)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2013-08-04 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
What kind of questions?

[It's a robot...?]
resipiscent: (melancholy so please tell me you're joki)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2013-08-04 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Well... what do you want to know?

["Any kind" is a pretty wide selection.]
resipiscent: (smile)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2013-08-05 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
[This strikes him as funny, but he decides to play along. Riku can't help the little smile on his lips though.]

Yeah, I'd say. Master Yen Sid's hat is pretty out there.
resipiscent: (uhh...)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2013-08-07 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
You know... I can see that. I mean, I'm not like... all powerful or anything, so I can't say for sure, but I'd think maybe the more competent you are, the less concerned with outward appearances you are? Dunno.

Do you robot guys wear hats too, then?

[That... is a robot. Maugris has no effing clue what a "Cybertronian" is, but people willing to ask questions and figure things out get respect... even if they can be awfully inconvenient on occasion. But he's not Masquerading here, sooo...]

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?
angryyoungvamp: (Leaning on Hand (Shut up I'm thinking))

[Video]

[personal profile] angryyoungvamp 2013-08-05 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I don't have a whole lot to compare it against, I guess. I've never been to another planet.

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.

[Tachikoma loves talking to the big robots, they always have interesting things to say. Even on the network where Tachikoma can use an avatar of its tank form, it can't seem to contain its excitement.]

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!
