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

[happyduckbutt]

[The kid lies on his back on the large slab that's supposed to be a bed, arms folded behind his head as he stares up at the ceiling. Never mind how he got up on the thing.]

So I've been wondering... are we...not supposed to be here? Like- we weren't expected? All the rooms here are gigantic. I know we were told how we got here, but no one's really mentioned "why"...

[Slowly he sits up, drawing knees towards his chest so he can rest his arms over them. Nice as it is to have a place to stay at all, its sheer size just makes it all the more lonely, especially for its emptiness.]

Also, I guess I'm supposed to talk to someone named Prima? This temple is his or something, right? Does he live here? Um. Well, I guess it can't hurt, right? -Mister Prima, if you've got a moment?

Think the Acolyte that ya woke with should've given what we know? Which is a big fraggin' lot of nothin', or that the "why"'s the same as the "how". That rifts messin' things up, affecting other realities and whatall.

[If there's any other reason, no one probably knows yet. Cliffjumper huffs and shakes his helm.]

An' yeah... Cybertron ain't exactly made for humans... or any organics, really. Sorry 'bout that.

[Have a dry, lopsided grin.]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Um, yeah. That's about what I- [He blinks.] So there's definitely something wrong around here, then?

[The boy shakes his head a little at the latter, forcing a smile.]

I guess it can't be helped if we weren't expected to begin with.

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

Yeah, as far as I understand it, the Lambda ain't natural, so that's what's "wrong" here.

[He shrugs slightly.]

Though other realities just have natural weaknesses in their... er, borders to other universes? which leads to people bein' pulled through, but that doesn't seem to be what happened here.

[Cliffjumper chuckles dryly and shakes his helm. Maybe not, kid, but that's not all...]

Suppose not, but what little organic stuff that is here shouldn't even be that... Cybertron ain't an organic planet, an' not intended for that either. It's our [here he taps his own chestplates] home, though of course my Cybertron ain't this one.

Just... a similar one. Or however that works.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Hmm. I've never really thought about other realities. I've been to other worlds, but this is the first time I've been pulled into one.

[He tilts his head.]

Organic?

...then maybe all that stuff came the same way we did.

[Video]

[rungout]

It almost seems as if the intent was merely Cybertronians but more than just that got pulled through, unfortunately. [He pauses, thinking.] I'm really not sure what to make of all of it. There's no real explanation for anything as far as I can tell.

[Unfortunately.]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

But it's definitely not normal, right?

[Video]

[rungout]

Hardly. I feel like this may be the farthest thing from normal.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

That's...probably not a good thing. I guess they haven't figured out a way to fix it then.

[thxforthememories]

Everyone I've spoken with says no, we weren't expected.

Or wanted.

And they don't care what happens to us.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

....really?

[Video]

[thxforthememories]

No.

I thought they did, once. But I was wrong.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

...what happened?

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

It is my understanding that the Firstforged were not... expecting us. The Lambda delivered us by chance and by pure accident. At this time, a return back to our respective worlds will be impossible until we do something about the Lambda's division. Why it is there, I could not say.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Lambda? You mean the...the rift we came through? However that happened...

...So no one knows how to fix it or how to get us home. [That's what he's been hearing, but it's still a depressing thing to be confirmed.]

[Video]

[thehardway]

Correct.

Not even the Firstforged have the answer to that. However, I would not take it as a permanent answer. If we came through, there must be a way out. For now, we live with the circumstances.

[He's not really... good at this comforting thing. Uh.]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[He nods slowly.]

I guess so.

[Video]

[primianpolarity]

Just 'Prima' is fine. [amusement? from Prima? never.]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

-ah! Okay, got it. Um. [He actually hadn't expected it to be so easy. And now he feels a little awkward.]

It's...nice to meet you, I guess?

[Video]

[primianpolarity]

[to be fair, when Prima's been addressed in the past, it's usually been with specific intent or question...not so much for casual conversation.]

As...you. [beat] Ventus, correct?

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I've wondered once or twice if we are meant to be here, in some sort of grand scheme sort of way. If that is indeed how things turn out, I hope it's for a good reason.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Mn... I guess if we look at it in that way, then we could find a reason for being here. That would be better than just thinking we're stuck.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I suppose the only way to make yourself feel like you "belong" here, that it is your "destiny", is to do something to make your name. I don't know, really, but I guess life throws things at you, you decide what to do with them, and mix the two, you get "fate".

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

The rooms in the temples are grossly over-sized for organics, yes. I understand there are human-sized dwellings around, though. You might wan tto consider moving to one of those?

And . . . no, I don't think any of us have really been expected.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Oh, we can move to other places? I...guess maybe I can look into that. It's nice to even have a place to stay at all, though, so I'm not complaining.

That's...what I've been hearing though.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

. . . that we were expected?
