[Sissel wasn’t an easy one to surprise, but he had to admit, this was one of the last things he expected. He’d already woken up unconscious once, but that was after his death. And now he was...doing it again? How does a ghost die again? You’d think once would be enough. It wasn’t made easier being surrounded by giant...things that called themselves Acolytes (whatever that meant) and told him he was on a planet called Cybertron.

Now...either he really messed up traveling through some phone lines...or there’s something bigger going on. He basically took everything the Acolytes said at face value, and when they left, something finally sunk in. Something that confused him far more than being stuck on some ‘planet’ that wasn’t Earth.

He could move.

His hands fiddle with the device he was given, a little too jittery than what should be considered normal, and when the feed clicks on, you’re greeted to a rather confused man in sunglass-sir what is your hair even.]

I’m alive.

[Yes, thank you Sissel.]

I’m alive and I shouldn’t be.

Is there anyone on the other side of this? I really need to get back home. I don’t have a lot of time.

[He’s got less than 8 hours left of his ‘afterlife’, he’s got to make them count.]

[A smirk.]

Maybe step one should be getting hair in the first place.

...Where would it be located?

Do you know where I could find some?

I suppose it could be anywhere. But the only places I've seen it are in the chest or the forehead. [He pokes both places on himself to illustrate.]

[He's just going to stare at you in mild disbelief, Dirge. Really how do you answer that?]

...

I guess on someone's head.

[Okay, onto questions that won't break his brain...if dead people still have those. His hands go to his chest and forehead, as if searching for it.]

So it only grows on people? ...That's going to take a lot of heads.

[Dirge's watches him intently, waiting for the tell tale glow to show up.] How many times have you died?

Or animals. I'm not sure what else. My memory isn't the...best.

[After a few minutes, he puts his hands down. Obviously that wasn't it.]

Just once. But I became a ghost after it.

There is a racoon around here somewhere...

[Dirge frowns with disappointment.] Check inside your chest.

A ghost? Does that mean a human without a spark?

...A raccoon?

[He knows what those are...surprisingly. Why is his amnesia so selective?]

...I'm not sure if I can do that. At least not without killing myself...again.

I guess that's a close definition. I'm not sure what a spark is, though.

Yes. [He's not sure if they're supposed to talk or not, but this one does.]

Oh. Right. I forgot humans can't do that without spilling their juicy insides.

A spark is what keeps you online. It's also what makes you... you. I very much desire to have one of my own.

Yeah, it's kind of a human thing. I guess...you guys don't have that problem? Cybertronian, right?

[He's trying to nail that terminology into his head.]

...So this All-Spark fragment keeps you alive, even if you don't have a...'spark'.

Correct. I open my chest all the time. [There's a soft hissing noise as he pops his cockpit open to demonstrate.]

Right. It also gives me my personality!

...

Well, that's pretty convenient. Do you keep snacks in there?

Sometimes! It's especially useful for food that can still escape. [The cockpit shuts with a snap.]

I didn't peg your race for the kind to eat...at all.

But maybe that's just me.

What? Everything needs fuel of some kind. [Snort]

Usually its energon for us. I'm....special.

Energon, huh?

And...what makes you special? The fact that you're running on...an AllSpark Fragment?

No, actually. Shockwave gave me an entirely knew digestive system after one of the jet twins turned my insides to slag. It's wonderful.

Shockwave? Jet Twins?

[A slight laugh.]

I take it there's a lot I need to catch up on.

Robots can eat...they have twins...

Knowledge is power. [Grin]

Want me to help you find your all-spark fragment?

...Are you planning on tearing me open to find it? Because that seems counterproductive.

[Aw, you guessed it too quickly.] Well, if you have one you'd just heal up afterwards. Might take a few days.

[Not that he'd let you keep it long enough to do that if he finds it.]

[The pains of being smart )8 ]

I think I'll pass. Don't want to ruin the second body I've had.

It's a nice body. [He pokes at the screen]

...Thank you.

[Well, how else do you respond to that?]

I think.
