[[Video/Action :: Junk Pile]]

[Oblivious to the current outbreak of unusual sicknesses and whatnot, Garrod is...apparently fine since he's poking about the Pile with no difficulties.

He uses a long bar of metal for leverage to shove heavier pieces of scrap aside, seeming right at home when it comes to scavenging. Something seems to catch his eye, and he grins, propping up his tool so he has his hands free as he crouches down.]

Ah-hah!

[He pulls up a can, and then setting it beside him, works out a couple more, slightly dented but still in good shape. The boy sits down cross-legged as he inspects them.]

Woohoo, canned beans! ...do these things expire?

[Setting all but one down, he pulls out a multitool from his beltpouch. ....Garrod, are you really- yes. Yes he is. He opens up the top of the can and then after taking a sniff, swaps out his multitool for a spoon.]

((ooc: Also I need a more SHOCKED icon. XD;;;))

. . . Y-yuuta!?

[Garrod pauses just short of digging his spoon into the contents of the can, glancing over at the Link.]

Me-wha?

Yuuta! Where are y-

[The boy looks directly at the camera, and Deckard realizes his mistake.]

Uh . . . I-I mean . . . s-sorry. You . . . reminded me of someone else for a moment.

[He blinks.]

O-oh. Um...hey, it's okay. Sorry for the false alarm?

N-no, it's . . . it's okay.

Ah, my name is Deckard. Pleased to meet you.

Name's Garrod. Nice to meet you too, Deckard.

Garrod…

How long have you been here? Do you have a place to stay? Are you on your own?

[Sorry . . . "big brother bot" all of a sudden, he can't help it.]

Whoa, whoa- heh! Take it easy there, huh?

I've been here for...maybe a couple months now, at least.

[He tries not to think about that too much, but that's at least two months without seeing Tifa, and with no promise that he'd be able to any time soon.]

I've got myself settled in, I guess. I stay at Nexus Prime's, but yeah, pretty much alone.

[Yeah, his big brother ~~instinct~~ "programming", if it can be called that exactly, is kicking at him. He hesitates, not wanting to push the boy into anything. But at the same time, it's really hard not to want to take him in and make sure he's protected and cared for.]

Months…

And you've been taking care of yourself all right this whole time?

[It's one thing having people ask him stuff like that, but robots is kind of new.]

I guess so. I mean, it's not like it's anything new for me.

You didn't have anyone back home?

Not...really. I mean, well I joined a Vulture crew pretty recently, so we all look out for each other, but before then, no. Was all me.

I see…

I used to have a partner, back home. He's about your age. His name is Tomonaga Yuuta.

[Why is he telling Garrod this? Because just how much he misses Yuuta is HITTING him again like he's not let it for some months now…and because he's finding himself really wanting to take Garrod in, for his own sake and because of missing Yuuta.]

A partner? Oh, so that's who you thought I was, then...

Yes. I was built to work with a partner. It's...a bit of a long story how it came about, but Yuuta was made my partner.

You look a little like him.

Edited 2014-02-13 02:03 (UTC)

Wow, that's weird. I never thought I'd have anyone say I looked like someone.

...so are you the only one from your world here, Deckard?

No, there are three others. McCrane, Power Joe, and Kagerou are all from my world. They were even built by the same project that built me.

((ooc: Also had to look and remind myself if this post was originally before or after Gunmax and Shadowmaru arrived. ^,^;;;))

Oh, so you're...not like those Cyber...something'r'other guys?

At least you have someone you know around here.

((OOC: Haha xD))

Cybertronians. And no. We're from Earth. We were designed and built by humans.

[Small grin.]

True. It's helped a lot. But there's a great opportunity for making new friends as well.

Stay put? I'll come find you. If you don't mind.

Huh! Kind of like mobile suits, then. Just...ones that move on their own.

[He smiles faintly.]

Er, okay? I'm not going anywhere.

Mobile suit?

Anyway, I'll be there shortly.

[If asked, Deckard will say it's for your sake . . . but it's probably more for his own. In any case, he finds he really wants to meet this boy in person, so out he heads out. Soon, a police patrol car will come into view.]

Probably easier if I show you!

[It's the last thing he quips over the Link before giving a salute. He shrugs and will just continue to poke around the area of the Pile that he's been standing in until he hears the sound of a vehicle's approach.

For a moment he wonders if it's Prowl, but the design is distinctly different. Maybe if his world still had a police force he'd be more paranoid, but here, he simply watches.]

((ooc: FYI quick size comparison in case you're interested - Garrod probably stands a little above mid-shin on Deckard. =3))

[Good - paranoia would just make him sad. Civic servants and emergency first-responders, such as police, are supposed to be reassuring presences (unless you're a criminal, of course). The robot detective wouldn't want Garrod nervous of him.]

[Deckard arrives, unfolding back into his robot form, then crouches down with a grin.]

Good afternoon. I'm pleased to meet you in person, Garrod.

[The teenager stares at the robot's transformation, whistling lowly.]

That'll never get old.

[He grins back, giving a wave.]

Same here, Deckard.

[He hops and halfway slides down the edge of the junk he'd been scrounging around towards the more level ground.]

[If a robot could blush… The comment gets a pleased grin.]

My team and I were all –well, almost all –given the ability to change formats into a vehicle of some kind to help further serve our functions. Have you ever ridden in an automobile?

[He's only asking because he's learned to not assume.]

[Video] LOL I get this after all? Say Deckard's somehow missed Garrod's presence to date 9,9

[Video] AHAHAHA xD 'sall right, it's a big place and he hasn't made a post 'til now
