[Video | Junk Pile, yet again]
[Lyra had much more important things to do rather than go visit some temple where she was apparently supposed to live now. She had an alethiometer to find and wasn't about to leave the junk pile until she did. The end result was the little girl setting up a junk-made lean to for herself and Pan, camping out at night and searching through the day.
It had to be somewhere.
Settling down with some food she'd managed to get while Pan continued searching, Lyra turned on her comm unit, figurin she might as well see what was going on. And ask if anyone else had found it.]
Got a question for all you. I'm looking for something real important. It kinda looks like a compass but with pictures on it. I know I had it when I jumped trough the window after my father so if one of you has it you best give it back.
[She glares a bit to make her point before glancing off screen to check on Pan.]
Anything?
Nothing yet. At least not what we're lookin for. There's so much weird stuff here, Lyra!
[The little girl grinned, her daemon's excitement and curiosity infectious.]
Oh. Right. So...can anyone tell me what this thing means? Which temple or whotever.
[She pushes the sleeve of her shirt up some to show off Liege's glyph.]
Still not sure where it's supposed to take me.

[Action]
Since we're connected.
[Lyra kisses the beagle's head before setting him down again, the canine lingering at her side for a moment before starting the search again.]
I keep hearing about the FirstForged but I dunno wot to think about them. One of them said I belonged to him? I hate when people say that. I ain't no one's property.
[Action]
[There's something that'll take getting used to.]
[He rubs at his chin, "exhaling" slowly.]
They bicker like a bunch of politicians in a senate, then get all bug-optic when we go off and do what we got to, because they weren't paying no attention.
They can say all they want, my opinion. Only one I belong to is Prime.
[Which means, she's free to feel the same, in Ironhide-speak.]
[Action]
Glad to hear you feel the same.
[She even gives you a small grin for that one before her look turns thoughtful.]
Who's Prime?
[Action]
Yeah, decked one of 'em once.
Optimus Prime. My leader.
[Action]
Sounds like what John Fa kind of is to me, I guess. He's the leader of the gyptians and has always been kind to me. He's really smart too.
[She starts to climb up a pile of junk, sliding a few times but managing it all the same.]
[Action]
[THERE's a new word.]
[Action]
[She pauses in what she's doing to look over at him, as does Pan.]
They're..um...what's the word..
Nomads.
Thank you, Pan, darling. Yes, nomads. Ain't got real houses or anything. They live on boats and travel all over! Most people don't like them but I do. They're always really nice to me.
[Action]
And this one you're talkin' about. He took you on?
[He's trying to see if he follows this. Living on a boat... what's a boat.]
[Action]
[Action]
[The word is "man", Ironhide.]
[Action]
[Because in Lyra's mind, everyone back home has to be okay. They just...they have to.]
[Action]
[Action]
[Because she had no idea what had happened after she jumped through that gate.]
[Action]
[Like with the war back home.]
[Action]
[Glancing at him, Lyra's got a curious look in her eyes.]
..Wot happened to you?
[Action]
[He rubs at his face, scowling off into the distance for a minute.]
... Story's about five million years long, though.
[Action]
Well...can you give a rundown at least? You got me curious and stuff.
[Action]
'Cept Sunstreaker. And he ain't how I remember him being. At all. Whole lot of things happened to everyone, and I don't know any of it.
[Action]
[Because she isn't sure what else to say. She feels bad for him though; she can't imagine what it would be like to wake up one day and not remember anything about her friends and family.
Hesitating a moment, she moves over to where he is, touching his leg some in a means of a comforting gesture.]
Isn't there some way to fix it or something?
[Action]
[He says it gruffly. Waving a hand. That's just how he is -- sympathy, feelings, all that. It's difficult to deal with. He feels frustrated, sure. But feeling bad about it won't change anything.]
If there is, I doubt I'm ever gonna find it.
[Thanks a lot, Alpha Trion.]
[He looks down at her, when she touches him. He has no idea how to deal with organics, really, so he gives her an awkward nod of acknowledgment.]
Re: [Action]
[She half heartedly glares up at him, knocking on his leg slightly.]
None of this giving up stuff though. Wot's wrong with you? That's for losers.
Lyra..
Well it's true!
[Action]
That better?
[He nudges her with the tip of his foot.]
[... Hopefully that won't knock her over or break her in half or something.]
[Action]
I guess that's a start. But it just means we gotta figure it out. I'll help. I'm good at puzzles. And I can use the alethiometer too.
[Action]
Use the what now? The thing you're missing?

[Come on, Ironhide, keep up.]
