╬ [Video] :: Location - Prima's Temple

[young_upstart]

I don't know what to think with all these disappearances of late, but so long as anyone is still here, we still have things to do, and each other to look out for.

[Yeah, that sounded good. Okay then.]

I've been wondering for a while- I mean, it's not like it seems to be talked about a whole lot so I'm not sure if it's meant to be a secret or something. But...just how many Initiates are there around here? And who do you represent?

[neverputincharge]

I'm an Initiate for Solus Prime. There were two others, but I'm the only one currently in Haven.

[young_upstart]

[Oh good, a bite! He would've felt awkward if no one responded.]

So three down to one, huh? Wow...

I'm an Initiate of Prima aside from one other.

[neverputincharge]

Yeah, I know where the other two are though. [Or at least he hopes he knows where one is.] One recently left on a mission for Solus Prime. The other left not long after we were Initiated, to help some friends at some kinda settlement outside Haven that nobody, but the people there, knows the location of.

Prima, huh? So the other Initiate's still there?

[thxforthememories]

... Alpha Trion picked me. A long time ago.

[young_upstart]

Is that right? I guess you can say I'm pretty new at this. I was chosen by Prima right before he left with the other Firstforged.

[Video]

[thxforthememories]

Yes. It is.

Why do you ask?

[arnhaid]

Good to hear you're still kickin' around, kid.

[Grumble mutter stupid disappearing bots.]

One of 'em wanted me. But I turned 'im down. Didn't wanna get involved with anyone with that name.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

Hey, you should know you can't get rid of me that easy, old timer.

[You're not totally his replacement Kup or anything... He's just smiling because it's good to see/hear that 'hide's not gone disappearing anywhere either.]

...Megatronus?

[Video]

[arnhaid]

Hey, let an old bot worry some. Ain't much else to do.

[He grunts.]

Yep. That's the one.

[Sorry Hot Rod this dork's been studying your video for a while and confusing the scrap out of himself. Don't mind him.]

I'm really sorry to derail you like this, but you look just like someone I knew back home.

[Don't really talk like him though, Rodimus was kind of. Abrasive? That's a good word for it.]

[Video]

[young_upstart]

[Well, here we go again. Hot Rod manages not to sigh- it's been a while since anyone's tossed him that line, after all.]

...right. Well, before you ask, no, my name's not Rodimus. It's Hot Rod.

[Video]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Definitely a different person, then. He hates being called Hot Rod.

[Super hates it. Anyway.]

Again, sorry to interrupt. I just wanted to confirm it, I guess.

[raceme]

I'm glad to see that someone here still keeps a positive spirit.

Ehm, I am an Initiates and I'm in charge of Vector's temple.

[young_upstart]

Trying, anyway.

I didn't know you were an Initiate too, Blurr. So right now I've got one for Solus Prime, Alpha Trion and Vector...aside from myself and Ventus for Prima.

[raceme]

Trying is a good thing.

[He nods, slightly embarrassed.] I don't go around announcing it, I didn't thought it was important. [But there's that acolyte following him everywhere that helps to make it more obvious.]

You too? Congrats, I didn't know either.

[Video]

[thankyou4myheart]

[Have a grinning Brave team lead. He's sorry he's not really spoken to you since you quit freezing everything.]

Hot Rod! It's Deckard. Good to see you, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that.

And . . . that's a good question. Actually, if you don't mind, I'd like to ask another.

what is an Initiate?

[Video]

[young_upstart]

Hey Deckard! Good to see and hear from you.

Kinda glad of that, though. It's too easy focusing on the negative stuff.

[He laughs a little.]

Ah...well, that's just the kind of question that made me wonder that the whole thing wasn't secretive.

Initiates are chosen by the Firstforged, to help keep things running at the temple and be their representatives when it's called for, I guess.

[Video]

[thankyou4myheart]

I see. And you're one of Prima's too, right? I'm sorry, I know I don't get over to the temple very often but . . . since he's my patron as well, if there's anything I can help with, please let me know.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

Haven't gotten rid of me yet.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

Never thought I'd be saying it, but good to know.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

[That just gets a low chuckle. He's also standing back just far enough from his Link that Hot Rod might or might not be able to see his wings. His brandless wings.]

Good to know you think so. So you're one of the Initiates, huh? How's that work, exactly?

[video]

[the_other_green_seeker]

[Oh hey, it's the Autobot's new Prime. Only less... Primey. And yes that's totally a word, so shut up.

What was the mech's pre-Prime name again...?]

What's an Initiate?

[Because no one's mentioned such a thing to him since he's been here.]

[Video]

[young_upstart]

[..."Primey," huh.]

It's...I guess you could say one chosen specifically by a Firstforged to work under them.

[treacherous_widow]

I'm in charge of Liege's temple. Why do you want to know.

[This is Blackarachnia's way of saying she's an initiate. ]

[young_upstart]

Liege, huh? I just thought I'd ask since no one else seems to talk about it.
