[VIDEO | Vector Prime's temple]

[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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yes.

Uh. Well. Not... not any more.

[The urge to shut off the video and block her frequency is overwhelming. Because that's a healthy way to deal with problems. Yup.]

Edited 2013-06-23 22:43 (UTC)

Ah. [She can't quite resist pinching the bridge of her nasal ridge; this suddenly became another theme to when people do recognise her.]

Well... Unless there's something you'd really like to ask, if of make you more comfortable we could end the call.

[She can tell you're not overly happy, Sentinel, and while she's hardly going to apologise for being herself, this seems like the next obvious solution.]

[He puts on a brave face. That was over a thousand years ago. W-we're over that, right? No, not really.]

N-no! I mean, uh, it's fine. Different universes and all that.

You do seem kinda exasperated, though. [Can't imagine why!] Are you ... alright?

[Ladykiller.]

[Be strong, Sentinel!]

If you say so. [She nods, not going to insist; he'll know what he wants to do, after all. Then a static sigh slips out and the back-mounted panels twitch in a shrug.]

I apologise, it just seems when people recognise me, they either mistake me for Arcee, who apparently shares my colour [Though the only Arcee she's seen here is blue.] or... well, they know my alternate closely.

[Awkward.]

[He can tell it's getting awkward. This conversation should've ended several minutes ago, but he's too stubborn to let it end on a bad note.]

Huh. 'Arcee' doesn't ring a bell and ... I guess you're popular. Haha.

[THERE'S SPAGHETTI FLYING EVERYWHERE. THE AWKWARDNESS IS GETTING SO INTENSE EVEN THE STAR SABRE COULD NOT CUT THROUGH IT.]

I suppose that's one way to see it. [She does, though sound more dryly amused than exasperated, maybe it's not completely a list cause?] I suppose everybody has to deal with it more or less here... And arguably I don't have it worse.

[She wasn't, after all, the one who got disappointed or surprised at her presence.]

Since you seemed too... busy to listen to the acolytes, I'll point out you can choose whatever free room in the temple of the Firstforged you're aligned to, or find arrangements elsewhere if you want that. We have no issues with energon either, if that was something you had to deal with. You'll find energon has several different colours, though.

[Elita counts of her points on her fingers as she speaks, easily dropping into practical information-imparting, which seems both useful and, well, safe for now.]

Everyone? ... I wonder if I'll meet a version of myself.

[That would not end well for anyone.]

[Rubs the back of his head] Uh. Busy, yeah. Wonder where the biggest room is.

Energon? Perfect, I think I need a drink. A lot of drinks.

[Dealing with problems the healthy way starring Sentinel Prime.]

Edited 2013-06-24 18:27 (UTC)

You might! [She chuckles a little, tilting her helm. Yeah, she'd mostly been polite by skirting around the fact that he'd been angry earlier.] So far we haven't had that many alternates, though.

Starscream, another Optimus was here briefly, and we currently have more than one Megatron, which is enough to make anyone need a drink...

[Elita grimaces, optics dimming in a frown.]

If you do need one, though, you can go here. [Have the coordinates to the Haven's Hub, Sentinel.] It's no Maccadam's, but there's a bar and a lot of energon.

Edited 2013-06-24 22:39 (UTC)

More than one Meg-

I really hope there's some sort of enaction against violence here. Getting torn to piece isn't really high on my list of priorities.

[One of his antennae beeps softly, indicating he recieved the coordinates.] I'll probably be there for the next few solar cycles if you want to talk again. [Uneasy grin; this is still hard for him. Regardless - he feels it's going well with her. Maybe mentioning that he wanted to have Maccadam's shut down when he became Magnus for being a seedy piece of shit isn't something she'd agree with. Better keep that to himself.]

Not precisely, but the Firstforged do have one against murder, but that being enough or not...

[She trails off, shrugging with both shoulders and hull-"wings" this time. Chromedome had died for the torture Tarn had inflicted, and well...]

Just don't drink yourself into an overcharged stupor. [Elita smiles slightly and shakes her helm.] I might come by.

Eeeh. I guess I have my shield if things go south ...

[He doesn't sound very confident. I think someone will be spending a lot of their time in his room for a while!]

Ha. Thanks, but I can hold my energon. [At least, he assumes he can. But the general idea was to drink until he can't feel feelings anymore then go pass out in his room. Unfortunately, knowing that there's danger around with the Megatrons, he probably now won't do that because it means letting his guard down.]

And- that would be ... nice.

[As in, awkward. Very awkward. He knows she's not her, but he can see parts of his old girlfriend in this Elita. He's also aware that he might be mentally projecting them because of his grief - but maybe meeting her will stop all that?]

Edited 2013-06-25 15:03 (UTC)

It ought to be all right; so far there's been no outright battles, though a few attacks have happened, admittedly. Taking a weapon would be a good idea anyway, as sometimes things from the Badlands penetrate Haven's borders.

[Elita shrugs, eyeing Sentinel briefly, but doesn't directly comment on the hesitation.][She flashes a smile and then purses her lips thoughtfully.] but besides that; the distances between everything here is quite large, and we don't have any roads yet.

Still. Being overly cautious is better than letting my guard down and getting torn to pieces. [Ever the charmer, Sentinel.]

Someone - I forget who - told me that this place is mostly unexplored. I'd rather stay where there's a population, though.

[Last time he went exploring in an unregulated area didn't end so well. Can't really say he's the adventurous type either.]

Definitely. And most of Cybertron is unexplored, yes. Not that... There's much to be explored at present. But the structures built by the previous Refugees are partly unexplored, since they're so spread out.

[She taps her chin in thought, optics narrowing a little.]

But as long as you stay inside the circle the temples make, it's usually fine, even if you're exploring.

I'll just ... stay here, then. I heard what the Badlands can do to a bot and eugh. No thanks.

[Not that there's much to do at the temple, but hey - there were some interesting cracks he could try staring at for a few hours!]

As long as you don't venture outside the Haven, the Badlands shouldn't affect you.

[Then she tilts her helm, because credit where credit's due, so to speak]

Well, outside of the unpredictable flares that has happened once or twice, but usually you had to have been close to the Badlands prior to those to have the full effect of its calling.

Besides, if you ever want to wash off, you're going to have to leave Vector Prime's temple, as the only washracks around here are in Solus Prime, Nexus Prime or Liege Maximo's quadrants.

Trust me, Elita, I won't be going anywhere near them.

[Saying her name feels so weird.]

Only there? Great. The one thing I was thinking of doing and I have to put myself in danger for it.

[He's a clean freak, and hates the prospect that he has to travel for it. Not through laziness, more paranoia - even if it doesn't require leaving the Haven.]

Good. We've had enough people who think it's a good idea to go wandering in that direction.

[Her smile is brief, but genuine; really, there were other directions you could explore in than the one towards the Badlands, not to talk about the Megatron who thought he'd get some answers by intentionally heading in there.]

If you want an escort, I'm sure someone would volunteer. And no one else has attempted to build any... it's not something I think any of us have the knowledge how, yet.

[Though learning might be practical, but how to go about that...]

Ugh. Morons.

[He hasn't really considered that. The silly bot thinks he's surrounded by danger and will need a LOT of convincing to leave the Haven.]

Uh. [Escort? To the washroom? God, how embarrassing. Would probably rather get dismembered than do that.]

I-I'm fine.

At the least a bit foolish or foolishly thinking any answers will be found out there easily enough they won't succumb before they get them.

[She isn't really bothered by the insult being tossed around; she is, after all, used to Grimlock.]

All right. The offer stands, though. [She can't quite not grin, though. The Haven is quite safe enough you do not need an escort to go have a shower, really!]

[Oh my god he's so embarrassed. If robots could blush, his face would be BRIGHT RED right now.]

So uh ... what's there to do around here? Is there a library?

[Not much of a bookworm, but learning about the place can't be a bad idea. Plus taking a small pile of datapads up to his room would be an excuse not to go out.]

[She'll just pretend she doesn't notice any sign of embarrassment, all right?]

I believe there is, yes. In Alpha Trion's temple... Which would be almost opposite from your current location, and on the opposite side of the Junk Pile. [Have some more coordinates.]

The Firstforged are pretty disaparate in what they do and what they have, and if there's been any previous refugee who's made any sort of library, it's not been found yet.

[Again with leaving the temple! Maybe if he goes at like four in the morning no one will be around.]

Hn. It's something to do until I find something more concrete to do around here.

Really? Gods that are weird and secretive? [His tone is dripping with sarcasm and frustration. Why can't everything just be laid out and easy?]

Edited 2013-06-28 16:59 (UTC)

[Sorry, Sentinel, you really are going to have to leave the temple at some point.]

The library might be worth a check on its own, but I haven't thought about it--- Gods, though? [Shaking her helm, Elita grins.] While they're magnitudes more powerful than any of us so I suppose it doesn't practically matter, I don't think they're actual gods... That would probably only be Primus and Unicron, since they come from Primus.

[Of course. He's not really someone who enjoys being cooped up inside all the time anyway.]

Gods, not gods. Don't care, all that matters is they know stuff we don't.
