[Audio | Prima's Temple]

[rungout]

[Waking up had been odd. His head was swimming and everything just felt off for some reason, but he couldn't quite place what was going on. Rung didn't remember returning to Prima's temple so that, in itself, was throwing him off considering the last thing he remembered was...

Well, he'd been out and about in Haven.

Sitting up slowly with a hand to his head, Rung looked around as he tried to make sense of things, growing even more confused by his presence here because, as of late, the only temple he'd been recharging in was Alpha Trion's. His optics narrowed a bit on the floor as he dug through his memories, trying to remember--

Wait.

Pain. He remembered pain but not the source. It was fuzzy but..

His hand lowered slowly, vents cycling softly as his optics dimmed now. He'd..died...hadn't he? That would be the only thing that made sense but how?

Glancing around the room after a long moment, Rung spotted his comm device on the makeshift desk and slowly eased off his bed to make his way over to it. Once he had the device in hand he found himself hesitating, staring at it as he debated his options before switching it to audio only, vents cycling heavily as his optics dimmed.]


Would..anyone be able to fill me in on what..I can't seem to remember properly?

[That voice surprises him. He almost jumps at that before making a dive for his Link. Of course once he does take it up in hand, he's hesitant to speak at first.]

...ah...Rung..? That you?

[Audio]

[rungout]

[Even if Ventus can't see it, Rung can't help but smile when he hears that familiar voice. It eases the odd daze that he's found himself in a bit.]

Yes, it's me.

[Give him a moment, Crow needs to process this....]

BUT YOU WERE DEAD!

[skidaddle]

...I know it's been said that people can come back from being dead, but...

[Seeing it was another thing. This wasn't like watching someone make a recovery--this was something much more.]

[rungout]

...The truth of it doesn't quite hit home until you see it?

[Trust him, his first experience with it was odd as well, Skids.]

[Video]

[raceme]

Ah! [Blurr clearly happy to see you, Rung.] Welcome back.

Can I come over _{and see you in person?} I'll explain everything, Rung.

[Video]

[rungout]

[Oh, Blurr, you are a very welcomed sight.]

Yes, of course. I'm at Prima's temple.

[deadlydoctor]

Remember all those time I told you to be careful or you would end killed?

Yeah, I didn't tell you that often enough, apparently.

[Knock Out is judging you, Rung.]

[locked ] 2/2

[deadlydoctor]

It's good to see you back. [There, a small smile for a few seconds. He realizes what he's doing and soon enough this usual smirk is on his face instead.] Dead End will stop bawling his optics out.

...



are you really

youre really here ?

[Video]

[rungout]

[This is another one he's going to switch to video for, optics soft even if he can't see Kagerou.]

Yes, I'm here. I promise it's me.

[Video; Private]

[fun_police]

[Wow why is this asshole contacting you?]

Rung.

You were killed in your office. There's an investigation that is going into the nature of the incident.

[Someone else might have padded that news a little better.]

Any details you can remember can be used to help find the perpetrator.

[Video; Private]

[rungout]

[Oh fantastic. One of his favorite individuals.]

...Thank you for informing me, Prowl.

[His voice has gone rather neutral now, despite how tired he feels.]

I'm afraid I don't really remember anything. Just pain. I doubt that's helpful to you though.

[video]

[laharl]

Hm. This place works fast on resurrections.

[video]

[rungout]

I...suppose it does, yes.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

Your First-Forged was able to revive you. Good.

[No, he hasn't spoken to Rung before - not that he can recall anyway - but it . . . still felt right to speak up.]

[Video]

[rungout]

And for that, I am quite grateful.

[The fact that you did speak up means a lot, even if you don't realize it, TC.]

[treacherous_widow]

So you did come back. I was wondering if you would.

[rungout]

I did. It..seems to be a common thing here in Haven. For the most part.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

... You should consider seeing a medic.

[Because coming back from the dead is worth a visit.]

[audio]

[rungout]

Knock Out is actually on his way here. He..sort of insisted, even though I said I was alright.

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

Ah, Hell! You're alive!?

[video]

[rungout]

[A cold look crosses Rung's face, optics narrowing.]

Yes. I am.

[Video]

[heytheresugarbot]

[OH

Quickstrike is SO DISAPPOINTED.]

Wha-? You're alive?!

[Damn robots not staying dead when they should! It takes all the fun out of killing things!]

Now that just ain't right...

[Video]

[rungout]

[He may not remember things completely but there's something about this bot that sends a shiver through him, even as his optics narrow just a bit.]

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

[Video]

[flashdrive]

So they were RIGHT!

[Rewind's really happy to see you, Rung. He'd heard talk about how death wasn't permanent but...It's a hard concept to believe when you have a whole database that proves you wrong.]

You're back...you're really back!

[video]

[rungout]

Yes, I am.

[The therapist can't help but smile softly, a bit..surprised by how genuinely happy some people seem.

He's just not use to it.]

[Video]

[ichooseboth]

...It is a relief to see you again, Rung.

[No matter how many times he sees this little revival trick in action, he refuses to get too used to it.

You never know when it will stop happening.]

I am afraid that, other than witnessing your death itself over the network, we have few answers for you.

[A pause. Yeah, that is a bit awkward.]

I don't suppose you recall anything at all about who was involved?

[Video]

[rungout]

It's..a relief to be here again, if I'm going to be honest.

[His expression falters when Optimus mentions the death over the network, his spark aching a bit.

How...everyone had seen....that would explain Kagerou especially..]

I don't, no, I'm sorry. I've been trying to remember but..

[He shakes his head, optics dim.]

I can't remember anything from the incident. Just..new things from home.

[Video]

[glitteratimedic]

...Huh. Well look at you.

[He actually sounds pretty stunned. It's his first witnessed revival and everything.]

[Video]

[rungout]

First time seeing someone come back, I'm assuming?

[dinnerdate]

... Rung?

[rungout]

[Oh primus is he glad you responded, Dead End.]

Yes it's--I'm here. I'm back.

Dead End I'm so sorry I--you...
