☄ [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.

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.]

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

Or wanted.

And they don't care what happens to us.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

But it's definitely not normal, right?

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

....really?

[Video]

[thxforthememories]

No.

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

[Video]

[rungout]

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

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]

...what happened?

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

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

[Video]

[thxforthememories]

... There is an AI here known as Prism. It has harmed several of us. But they've done nothing to contain it, or help us in containing it.

When we tried to do something about it, they told us we weren't allowed. Under pain of their punishment.

They allowed dangerous objects loose. And warned none of us of their ability to harm and change us.

Never once have they apologized.

Never once have they seemed to realize what they've done to wrong us.

[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]

[rungout]

I don't think so, no. But I'm really not sure of anything here.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Wh....

[He frowns. And not only because he has no idea what an AI is.]

Was...Prism brought here just like us?

And who do you mean by 'they'..?

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[He sighs.] Yeah, neither am I. But I haven't been here for too long.

[Video]

[thxforthememories]

Yes. It was.

[You're talking to an AI, Ven.]

I mean the Firstforged. Like the one you were asking for.

[Video]

[rungout]

Neither have I, if I'm going to be honest. I thought I was caught in some weird hallucination at first. I still wonder, at times, if maybe I am.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[He's never seen any before this place, give him a break! 8<]

Oh...

[He isn't sure what to say to that, nothing that really could make any sense of it. It wasn't as though he'd been here for very long either to really have a fair say in anything.]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

I know what you mean. I keep expecting to wake up from a dream. No luck.

Re: [Video]

[rungout]

I suppose that would be a bit too easy, now wouldn't it?

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

[He laughs weakly.]

Yeah, I guess so.

[Video]

[thxforthememories]

... Should I not have said any of that?

[Video]

[rungout]

[Offers up a small smile to the other.]

I'm Rung, by the way. My apologies for not introducing myself before.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Oh! Heh, it's okay. I've kinda been slow on the introductions myself.

Name's Ventus, but you can call me Ven. It's nice to meet you though, Rung.
