WHO: Nexus Prime and *YOU*!
WHERE: Various places in Nexus' quadrant, and some places outside of it in the greater parts of Cybertron. Base setting below, feel free to have your character encounter Nexus - or a part of him - wherever!
WHEN:Backdated to last week whups Over a period of time. Say...a week?
WHAT: Nexus Prime can keep his attentions on a lot of things at once. And he doesn't mind putting some of it towards the Refugees.
WARNINGS: None?
It's easy to keep tabs on a lot of things at once, when you can be a lot of places at once. For some people, multitasking is a problem - they can only focus on one thing at once. For Nexus, a single task that requires all of his concentration is either monumental...or very, very interesting.
When he's not focusing on the monumental, such as seeding Cyberton with energon, slowly urging pools of it to gather, or crystal formations to form on terrain that is still unstable, still shifting, still possibly rough enough to destabilize the energon (luckily, he's more than able to control any violent reactions) - he can be found in his quadrant. Examining one of the small towers he has constructed, or some ore that's been uncovered. Walking along the rim of a crater, discussing some matter or another with one of his Acolytes, taking a progress report before sending them out on some duty.
Sure, he could probably do it, too. It wouldn't be difficult for him to split a piece off, reform it in to a functional form, and send himself off to do the task. Sometimes he does, and a smaller version of him that is still no less him - or more than one such - can be found trying to finish hefting some rock or another, working on some construction, performing some tweak or another...
But even he can't be everywhere at once. Nexus knows how to delegate, and he makes use of the tools he has at hand. Including something that could almost be cheating - because it's only so easy for him to concentrate on one thing at once, when the larger tasks are done...he may still be working on another, even if there's a literal part of him that is simply sitting by an energon pool and all but playing with shaping it.
Or practicing.

"Nah, don't worry 'bout it. Kinda makes sense, I suppose?" Cluffjumper shrugs, looking off briefly and then back up at the Prime, a dry grin present. "Yeah, kind of a lot to do 'round here, ain't it? Probably just as well you don't got a clue, since I think they... er, he was supposed to be doin' something."
And sometimes it might be better not to remember anything but the problems of the place you currently are, since otherwise you keep adding on to it... like for Cliffjumper. Because there's home, and then there's... his other... place. And now here.

There isn't much he can do about it, is there? Short of asking Primus himself.
"Well, if he's anything like me, I'm sure he got around to finishing it sooner or later."
That's optimistic. Right?

"Yeah, pretty sure of that. He did manage to stop a sun-destroyer... some sorta bomb, so I can't see him failing in whatever it was he had to find." Pausing, Cliffjumper grimaces and shakes his helm. "This is slagging stupid, it's always so strange to talk of an alternate of someone you're talkin' to..."
Or talking about your own alternate for that matter, he had experience with that too.

And in case that wasn't an obvious enough cue.
"I'm Nexus Prime. You?"
no subject
"... Yeah, why not." Cliffjumper's answering grin is a lot less wry and a lot more lopsided, but genuine. "Cliffjumper. Nice to meet ya."
And, strangely enough, that didn't feel as awkward to say as he'd thought it would be.
