[Sari laughs as she turns on the camera; briefly giving a closeup of her eye before deliberately setting the camera down on the floor.]

So, I got the cooooolest surprise this morning!

[Despite the scavenged nature of...pretty much everything in the Haven, what few second-hand items that are visible on the screen make it obvious this is the room of a little girl.

Patchy pink quilt.

Stuffed robo-teddy, minus some stuffing.

Scraggly purple plant in a cracked pot.

Dolls in mis-matched clothing.

Half used crayons...

Scribbly drawings of Autobots and Decepticons alike...that dance into view all on their own.

...What.]

Hehe! Check this out!

[Flat and partially transparent from where the crayon didn't quite fill them in, the two-dimensional creations still manage to caper around the three-dimensional world, brandishing bits of twigs or metal fragments or just their flat fists at one another. Optimus, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Prowl, Ratchet - the gang is all there and valiantly (and comically) fending off the equally comical attacks of the tiny Decepticons. They make no sounds of their own, aside from the sound of things being knocked over, but word bubbles appear over their heads as if drawn by an invisible hand, and weapon attacks create brightly colored BAMS and POWS and ZOWIES that dissipate into crayon-colored smoke. Scribble!Lugnut's P.O.K.E. attack makes a especially impressive cartoon boom, sending them all flying, much to Sari's gleeful amusement.]

Aren't they awesome!

[She beams, watching the fight and cheering on the appropriate side. It's the most amazing thing EVER!

...Too bad she can't help but be a little wistful, watching the messily-drawn shapes of her friends when most of the real ones aren't here.]

... How weird?

[Because if "it was weird" is all the reaction it gets, Elita wonders how "weird" things get in Sari's home reality.]

Uuuuh. Weeeeeeell...

Giant robot attacks. Normal machines going crazy. Boomboxes turning evil. Crazy spiderladies zapping the youth out of people. Monsters raging around the city...

[Finding out you're part robot...]

You know.

Those sort of weird things!

... Some of that does sound very weird, yes.

[Elita pauses and frowns.]

... 'Zapping' the youth out of people?

[Just... what.]

Yeeaaaah.

That was really weird.

[...How did that even work when you were part robot, anyway? Was it just her...human parts that got old?

...Ew.]

... Sounds like it, yes. How did that even get solved?

[She'd heard some strange things told by Grim, Huffer and Snarl, but this? So very odd.]

Eh. I think Optimus just stopped crazy spider lady and everything went back to normal.

[Frown. ...That probably doesn't make much sense, huh?]

She was the one that stole this...thingy that has like, magical Cybertronian robot powers? She wanted it to fix herself or something, but it didn't really work like that on her.

Edited 2012-10-24 08:20 (UTC)

Any reason it didn't work? And why did she need it to... "fix" herself?

[Curiosity might kill the cat, but Elita did deal in information... And the girl was rather interesting to converse with, if only for what she'd been involved in.]

I dunno. Because she was a giant spider and thought she was gross, I guess?

[Sari shrugs, making a face. Ew spider yuck.]

... Spider? An Earth animal, I assume?

[Then Elita pauses and frowns. Why would...]

But if she had a spider altmode... why not just change it?

I guess? Maybe an alien spider? I don't think any real spiders look like that.

...Or are that big.

[She shrugs, fiddling around with the key around her neck.]

I dunno. I guess it didn't work for her for some reason? She stuck like that I think. Optimus didn't want to talk about it afterward.

Strange, though I hope she'll end up able to change.

[It's a bit chilling to consider, to be stuck in an altmode and unable to change, whether you liked it or not. It was a bit unsettling.]

Enjoy your... companions though, temporary or not. I'm glad they're harmless.

Maybe it will make her less crazy.

[Sari shrugs, largely unconcerned about her kidnapper's well-being. She perks up again at the mention of her 'new friends', and beams.]

Yeah, sure! Me too!

[He voice drops to a mutter, and she gives the Decepticon constructs in particular a hard look.] I didn't want another Soundwave problem, after all.

Soundwave?

[Sounds like a story, Sari. Elita tilts her helm and glances at the paper creations that she can see.]

He can bring inanimate things "alive"?

[It seemed like the most obvious conclusion to her.]

Uuuhhh.

[Whoops. How to explain that without mentioning the Key...?]

Hehe, I guess?

That was something that happened...back home. This toy my dad got me ended up being a Decepticon.

[Naughty child.

Elita can tell there's something Sari isn't telling her, but she'll let it lie.]

... Interesting. A plant?

[Regardless of what Sari was withholding, that seemed the most obvious conclusion.]

[Very naughty. The worst child.]

Uh yeah! He tried to take over the city and everything!

They uh. Did that a lot.

Decepticons.

[Elita laughs and shakes her helm, because that really does say everything.]

Doesn't surprise me, no. Have fun, Sari.
