[It's been almost a month since her arrival. Nike has sensed the changes within the world and heard the voices from the natives. All of it felt oddly welcoming, a little sweet, maybe unsettling by the sudden waves of energy coming from the moons-filled nights, and maybe a little fear and some anxiety in-between especially after the events of the amphitheater. Which was happily taken care of. But now it was her turn to experience the next phase of the moon which was just around the corner...]

...um, I hope I'm doing this right. First time using such a....impersonal item. Something about using this to talk to a lot of people. Like using a microphone...? Just without the singing?

[That was the best way for her medieval mind to go around it. Just ignore the fact her country was far too advanced in a world that shouldn't be. A detail she has learned the reason of, but wasn't important right now.]

Um, right, so...I'm Nike. I arrived a while ago. And I was wondering: is there somewhere I can go when my phase of the moon pops up? Like a safe place I can hide away in...? I'm sorta alone. I don't have many people I trust here and those I do...I may have messed things up...

[By aggressively attacking their ears, going overboard with flattering, and just simply being more clingy than usual. Even she is embarrassed by it but he happened to look insanely gorgeous that day, more than usual....not that it was an excuse but...]

Anyway, is there anyone with powers similar to mine? Like sensing their surroundings and knowing what a large group of people feel? Or are able to hear the planet's voice or influence? I've been...having some trouble. I don't know how to explain it.... [More like she's been feeling very uncomfortable with herself, getting easily irritable, feeling more self-conscious than usual, and yet staring at herself more than she would like. Not to mention the cold chills traveling her spine and arms.]

Is it normal for your body to feel so cold while feeling pretty warm? Or just agitated in general? I don't know what to do...or expect. Any advice would be very appreciated.

[How should she end this? Um.....she's turning this off like now because what is talking to herself? This is weird. She doesn't like this.]

(ooc: Here is an opt-out post for anyone who wants to use it along with learning more details about Nike's powers with a permission form as well. I would appreciate it if everyone tagging this could take a look at it. Thanks!)

[Ah, so his race did have a name. Or would it be considered a species??? This is a first for her to think of such matters. It was weird and made her a little uncomfortable. In the sense, she didn't want to consider them to be different from her. They were both living beings, nothing more or less.

She'll stop thinking about trivial matters like this.

Rather she was more keen on learning more about other worlds, now that she has the opportunity.]

Cybertronian. What is the name of your world? What is it like?

[As for their next question, Nike was more than happy to explain it the best way she can.]

A rain partner is a relationship forged between the caster and the one they intend to show the rain to. Be it through a wish or a strong desire. It's one of few ways for the castor to connect with their new surroundings while bonding with their partner in the process. All of it is done to bring balance to the world while the caster is used as a middle man of sorts. Through the connection, we gain new abilities that tie us together. Telepathy is one of those ways.

[Species. But if Nike truly does treat him no differently than any other living beings, then she's already winning respects points from him. As a empath himself, Soundwave do believe that they aren't any difference between mechanicals or organics, forms aside, they are all just still living beings. Although it did take him millions of years to finally get that, but better late than never.]

Cybertron. It was-- [Destroyed. But that's depressing, so he won't actually bring it up.] - It's a shining, metallic planet home to us Cybertronian. A planet with towering cities not unlike this city and vast metallic plains.

[He speaks fondly of his homeworld. There's more he could say about it, like how it's the body of their god, Primus, and all associated legends but then it'd just end up being a history lesson about god robots.]

I see, it sounds somewhat similar to how I forged a psychic connection with someone. [Though hers sounds more magical than his own, speaking about bringing balance to the world and connecting with the surroundings whereas his only affects the individuals. Regardless, connecting to each other telepathically is quite the intimate, bonding process.] Hmm. And you want me to be your partner for this?

[He is not going to 'no', at least for now]

[It was difficult to not be pulled in by the explanation about the cyberton's world. Just the description alone will have her eyes glittering in delight. She can only imagine a purely metallic planet with large towers and plains.]

Did you have metallic trees and flowers too? Could you smell them? What about animals? Do they exist?

[If he had spoken about the legends of his world, then she would've been far more excited about the details. Robot history is more interesting than human history! Please teach her, new friend!]

Of course! I'm not sure if it'll work, but I wouldn't mind trying it out with you. Everyone needs a friend, right!?

[Honestly, she was a very touchy and feeling person who knows to push boundaries. There was a reason her fiance didn't trust her with other men, not even other women after noticing her attachment to Ursula, his worse enemy. So the idea of asking for something so intimate has not gone noticed just yet. She was interested to learn she can bond with others. It didn't have to be strictly human.]

[From how he's describing his world, it's no surprise it would sound so fantastical to anybody. Of course, they are the bad, especially how Cybertron's society was in the past. Something Soundwave had lived through... Well, he could share stories and legends instead, those are less upsetting anyway.

All those questions would be met with a 'yes', but what Nike said at the end brings him pause. Everyone needs a friend, right!? How foolish. However, saying something like that, while being so earnest, he can't but be drawn to it, even when they're thinking about doing something so intimate. Soundwave, fortunately, doesn't lack friends here, but there's no harm making another, right?]

I suppose... Shall we meet somewhere? I can share more about my world with you later. Like I said, I had somewhat similar powers to yours. If yours doesn't work, we could try to forge a similar bond with my powers instead.

[If he was honest, he misses having a close telepathic link with someone... Of course, those sort of connections are reserved to close friends, rather than someone he just met and bonding together in that way.]
