[VIDEO | Vector Prime's temple]

[primest]

[What a surprise: Sentinel’s angry. The acolytes are pottering around in the background of the video, having been shouted at and told to frag off. Clearly, any information they had to offer had fallen on, ah, deaf audios.]

Ugh, is there anyone around here who isn’t a useless maintenance drone? These things are swarming all over the place and I haven’t been able to get a straight answer out of any of them!

I’m a Prime; we’re supposed to get better treatment than this!

[He scowls into the camera.]

Anyway, any Autobots in the immediate vicinity report directly to me. I want to know what’s going on and, uh, where I am.

[This is about as polite as you’re going to get from him.]

I'm seeing a connection between wandering into the Badlands and getting home there, Blurr.

Unicron? I thought he was just something made up by the religious types to scare the masses?

[NO. NOT HAPPY. WANNA GO HOME ;A;]

[video]

[raceme]

It's more like DYING actually. There are horrible monsters there, I know, I saw them. [Sentinel no, don't go there. Wait. He knows what to say.] Organic monsters, at that. With tentacles.

[Sadly, he's not making this up.]

Just as the FirstForged but nooooOOOOOOoooo all that is real here. It's kinda _{hard to deny when} you talk to them.

[Sorry pal, it's not allowed U_U.]

Re: [video]

[primest]

Organic? With TENTACLES?!

[Yeah. Any plans that had begun to formulate instantly dissipated. Probably wouldn't go anywhere near there now even if it WAS a way home.]

You're in contact with them? Ask them how to get back!

[Did he realise Blurr had probably already tried that in the time he'd been here? Yes. Did he care? No. Ask again, damnit!

As a 'bot who was never pious in the least, that's going to be very hard to get used to. He never had any need for religion and now, finding out it's all real? That's some heavy shit, man.

Awww, someone's crying themselves into recharge tonight!! Or, well. Probably punching a wall or something.]

[video]

[raceme]

And teeth. Lots of them. Some of theme even spew acid. [Don't stress yourself Sentinel, you will get used to it after the third or fourth monster-bug invasion.]

...[Did you really ask him that? -.-]

We tried. They don't know how to bring us back to our home world and the Lambda's influence is too big. The Lambda's is that time continuum rift in the sky, on top of the junk pile.

[It wasn't all that difficult for Blurr. It's hard to deny their existence when you see them bringing mechs back from the death and that sort of god-like cool things.

Blurr takes pity of Sentinel, he tell the man's having a hard time.]

I can see that you have Vector's glyph, like mine. [Blurr points to his arm. The glyph are not exactly the same (Blurr's bigger, solid gold, with a strong violet outline around it) but the general design is Vector's.]

Do you want me to come to find you and explain things properly?

Re: [video]

[primest]

[VERY VISIBLE SHUDDERING. NO. WE DO NOT LIKE THIS INFORMATION.]

I- get it! Stay away from the Badlands or die a nasty, horrible death. Fragging organics ruining everything.

[Are you implying Sentinel is going to be aware of the ramifications of asking something like that? Ha. Hahaahaha.]

A few of the other bots that contacted me had useful information, but... [Head tilt] Why is your glyph different to mine?

[video]

[raceme]

[Wait until Blurr mentions that the boyfriend of his therapist is a cannibal Decepticon that likes to suck on power cores. No, for realsies.]

That's correct sir.

[...A+ Sentinel. good job.]

I thought you would like _{company, but} if that's not the case....It looks different because I've been here longer, it changes with time. Sometimes.

Re: [video]

[primest]

[He looks around. Oh, right. Still alone in the temple.]

Company? Uh. Ichangedmymindpleasecomeover.

[video]

[raceme]

[Ah, Sentinel, you are lucky that he's used to deal with kids like Wheelie, you act like one. A big kid with a big chin. Blurr gives him a soft smile.]

I will get there in 5.37 seconds.- [Awfully specific, isn't he? One of the abilities he got thanks to his glyph was to know exactly this sorts of things.]

Re: [video]

[primest]

[You got it! Just a big ol' baby! Who also happens to be a complete asshole.]

That ... fast?

[Oh, right. Blurr's entire thing is speed.]

[video]

[raceme]

Yes, that fast.

Unless you want some more time alone.

Re: [video] GOTTA GO FAST

[primest]

I'd appreciate it if you could get here as soon as possible. I'm still not clear on everything.

[He understands enough, but is embarrassed to say he wants the company. Baby.]

[video >action!] THE FASTEST

[raceme]

On my way.

[As he promised, it doesn't take Blurr to much to get to Sentinel's location. He reduces his speed and comes to a halt in front of the other mech.] Hello! It's _{good to} see you in person, Sentinel.

Re: [video >action!]

[primest]

[His audios perk up on seeing Blurr. Hell, he's so happy to see someone from his own universe - even though technically it had been less than a day since he was on Earth before being pulled through the Lambda - that he had to resist giving Blurr a bearhug.]

Yeah, hey. So, uh. [He gestures around the temple.] I guess this is our lives now?

[He's pretty clearly sad. He really wanted to be Magnus, man! It's gonna take ages to get over that. Not to mention how he can't adapt very well.]

[raceme]

[Blurr knows how it feels, he was really lost too when he arrived here. He won't oppose to hugs, even if it one coming from Sentinel would surprise him.]

Yes, that's it. But it's not so bad, honestly. [Blurr puts a hand on his arm, trying to be comforting.] You will get ^{used to it quickly. There's} plenty of energon available, the planet is really new and somewhat un-ex-plo-red but it has a lot of potential and there's also some great people here. And a bar, ^{I work there some} nights too, to help a it. Most of the time I'm working for the Police Force.

[The hammer might fall from the Lambda's one day, keep your hopes up.]

[primest]

[Grumblegrumble] If you say so.

A bar? [He's interested. Never really drank much before because of work and drinking alone is pretty shitty. However, there is always a time that comes when a mech needs a stiff drink, and this is that exact time.]

[He shifts his weight on his feet slightly.] I'd ... really like to find something like that to do. Seeing as this Elite Guard status andeverythingI'veeverworkedfor is useless now.

Should probably find a room first though. I'm tired.

[He doesn't want to think about how just a day ago he was in his own universe. For Sentinel, he isn't counting the days since he arrived; he's counting the days since he left.]

[raceme]

I was in contact ^{with organists} when I was on earth and even more often here. They are fragile creatures with sharp minds, little things that can surprise you a lot. I'm sure would _like them if you knew them a bit better. And yes a bar it's a neutral and safe place to be.

[Blur is here, he doesn't have to drink alone.] There's still a lot of things to do here and people that needs help. You will find something suitable for you, I'm sure noteverythinguseless... ['You will find something'. Blurr, a master at comforting people, ladies and gentleman.]

Let's find you a proper room and then I will show you the bar. There's many rooms available in the higher towers if you want one of those.

[primest]

In contact with them? Eugh, I hope you decontaminated yourself after. The only thing they use those sharp minds for is to ambush you and spray acid!

[He tries to shake off the thought of being around organics with no other choice.] That police force sounded interesting ...

Anyway. I want a room fairly isolated; I don't really [What's a nice way to say this...] want to be around too many of the people here. So, the higher towers sound ideal.

HTML is evil

[raceme]

I had a mission there...Decontaminated? W-why should I...? Human' can't do that, as far as I know.

[Blurr knows that Elita disappeared in an organic planet but humans spraying acid? Now that's a new one.] It's a bit like the Elite Guard back home, just not so organized or big BUT WE ARE working on changing that.

[He can't say he's surprised to hear that.] Alright we will find you one. [Blurr pats his back and starts to walk towards one of the stairs, hoping that Sentinel will get it and follow him.] I have to warn you, the higher towers are realllly high.

Re: HTML is evil

[primest]

I don't care what they do. Just ... I'd rather not go near them.

[Elite Guard? Antennae perk up.]

I can always help you sort it out! The council always said I was a real 'paper tiger'! Whatever that is.

[He follows quickly, making sure not to fall too far behind. Blurr is his safety blankie.]

Are you implying I'm afraid of heights? Blurr. Seriously.

[raceme]

I know it's a common _{belief in our} universe that humans are harmful to us but really, Sentinel, they aren't. Might I aks why do you despise them so much?

[Literally? That would be cute.]

More help is always welcome I'm sure you will have no problems getting in. You only need to pass the psychological evaluation and physical test.

[Blurr smiles before snorting softly.]

I would never imply that. [Sarcasm? Nah, you are hearing things.] No I'm saying that this temple was build to be the home of a FirstForged and an a reflex of his power. It's big and also beautiful. Dangerous too, beware if you walk close to the gorge.

[primest]

[Looks away awkwardly.] I had a ... really bad experience with them once, okay?

[They did in the series! So, yeah :3c]

[He welcomes the change of subject and perks up fairly quickly.]

Where do I sign up?

Pff. I can deal, Blurr!

[STOP MOM YOU'RE EMBARRASSING MEEEEEE]

[raceme]

O..kay. [Blurr won't press the issue but he makes a mental note to ask again later, when things are less overwhelming for Sentinel.]

[OMG I forgot or never noticed. Awwww.]

[Blurr chuckles.] Easy, easy....icantbelieveImsayingthis..slow down. We will take _{care of that} tomorrow, let me show you around first. You need some rest.

Well if you are sure. [They haven't reached yet the higher part of the tower but Blurr knows that the gorge alongside the temple makes everything look even higher than it is. As if the temple wasn't intimidating on its own...He points to the nearest window.] Look out. And down.

[primest]

[He snorts slightly when Blurr says 'slow down'. Ironyyyy!]

Ok, ok. I'm just ... excited, I guess?

[He stops and looks through the window. Holy shit that is high.]

Frag! That's- [He cuts himself off. Honestly, as long as there's a window or rail, the height won't bother him. It still surprised him, though.]

[raceme]

[Beautiful irony, it happens from time to time.]

Thatsnotbad! [Primus knows he gets excited way too often about things too.] We reorganized _{ourselves recently} and there's 3 main departments: investigations^{, operations} and recruitment. I know you were drill officer in the Autobot training camp time ago, perhaps recruitment might interest you?

[Sentinel could get a position that deserves respect, at least from the newbies, and he wouldn't be involved in the stuff that requires more tact. Everybody wins, in Blurr's opinion.]

[He told you so, buddy.] Don't worry if you trip, there's a forcefield that stop the fall is we misstep.

(ooc. here's a wip chart about how the PF is organized.)

[primest]

[Uh oh, I think I read somewhere he hated that job.]

We'll ... see about that.

[Let's be frank, that's probably where he'll end up. At the moment, I think he wouldn't care even doing paperwork.]

[He's clearly relieved. Accidents happen, after all!]

[Blurr's confirmation of absolute safety gives him more confidence, and he goes right up to the window to look out, leaning on it with both hands. He squints into the distance and it looks like he's about to say something but whatever it was never makes it to his vocaliser - he shakes his head slightly and pushes himself away from the window then continues down the hall.]
