[There's a teenage girl with tanned skin and shock white hair on the network, pressing her face into the camera. Then she backs up a little, and two things are immediately noticeable about her:

1) Peeking out from her sleeves are the hints of some extensive tattoos, the kind that probably take up the entire arm.

2) She's wearing armor - a breastplate, gauntlets, and greaves - that looks like it was harvested off the carapace of some kind of oversized monster beetle? As opposed to being made of leather or metal or some other sensible material. ]

Hey, this thing's on! Okay, first of all, WHY IS IT SO COLD HERE? I'M FREEZING MY TITS OFF, YOU MONSTERS!

[It is, in fact, fairly crisp and cool but not exactly freezing.]

Second: Okay, uh, so I've actually never had any kind of living space to myself before? It's kinda scary. And I know you've probably known me for all of two minutes but I have useful skills! I can cook. I can tell you if that spot on your genitals is just a rash or if you've got some nasty shit. I can stab things? I used to have a voice in my head telling me - I mean, I can catch bugs and put them outside!

I kinda want to get food right now, so I'll be in... Caihong? If you guys wanna meet in person.

You can play with her if you wish. I'd imagine she gets lonely without me around in the apartment.

Would you care to share it? Though, if you do not wish to, I won't push it. [He's naturally still curious, but he knows his boundaries]

[coralroot]

Yeah, that's cool.

It's...kind of a long story. Gotta ask, how much do you know about like, time travel stuff?

[peacewithouttyranny]

Not much. I've heard theories, but I'm not certain if that's possible to achieve.

[Except a certain Cybertronian managed to achieve time travel. But he's not part of the group of transformers who goes on space misadventures, so he doesn't know.]

[coralroot]

It's...kind of a long story. I made a deal with this one, like, entity?

And then things just spiralled out of control.

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Sounds unfortunate. But clearly there's more to the story, so--]

Continue. I have all day.

[He kinda wish he brought some energon snacks with him while listening to her story, but alas. Can't eat anything offered in this store.]

[coralroot]

Alright, so.

[ She slurps up some noodles and takes a deep breath. ]

My mom was murdered by a tyrannical queen so nine or ten years later I kind of made a pact with a mysterious entity to gain the power I needed to exact my vengeance.

[ Yeah, that was kinda rapid-fire. ]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Slow down with the explanation a little! But he does catch onto some the important bits.]

First of all... I'm sorry to hear that. About your mom. [...] And this... mysterious entity. Is it the voice in your head?

[coralroot]

...yes.
