Answering the old age question [video]

[likeits1999]

Oh, hey, guys, I thought of something.

[ The group has had some time to catch their collective breaths, this isn't the first night. Kevin's mirror is hovering while he seems to be working on... something to do with the bolts on his skateboard. He had his skateboard stuff on him upon arrival because of course Kevin did. Anyone who actually knows anything about skating, though, would know it's unnecessary maintenance. Kevin's doing it to have something to do. ]

It's not, like, important. But I was wondering. How old is everybody?

[ He almost lets it go, but he's nervous so then he has to elaborate: ]

I mean, I know that my situation is super weird and I guess some other people's is too, but I am kind of wondering who all is like. The adultest.

I'm, uh, I was seventeen when I died but I guess I'm actually twenty-eight?

I don’t think that changes the math.

Earth is nice. It has its good and bad points, but - I was going to say what place doesn’t, because that’s how Earthlings talk about cities and countries, but I don’t know about other planets.

[ Much. ]

What’s yours like?

My planet? Used to be a fragging war-torn dump. Then things got better for a bit. Then it turned into a war-torn dump again and got destroyed.

[ She seems awful blasé about that. ]

Before the war.... before the war though, it was beautiful. Really beautiful.

[ That's when she sounds a touch emotional, maybe. ]

Been all around the galaxy since then and no place was ever quite like Cybertron before the war.

[ What is there to say to that? Not much that’s of any real use. He meant to just learn and show a respectful interest in the rest of the group. This is just dredging up bad memories. ]

I’m sorry. I didn’t know.

[blacksmithed]

It's okay. I mean... It's been a long time, honestly. I kind of gave up on home the first time I left.

[ Putting on a brave face! ]

Any other questions I can answer for you?

[the_hit_list]

No, I think I've made things awkward enough. If there's anything that you want to know, or that I can help with...

[ He will try to make it up to Anode in some way, once he sees an opportunity. ]
