[Video] :: Location - Junkpile

Ugh, my head...

[It's hard to make anything out at first, save for the brilliant glare of blue bleeding like an open wound in the vast expanse of a dark sky.]

Where? [The Autobot finally sits himself up, a hand braced against his head as he looks around. His expression falls.]

...oh you've got to be kidding me. I know we were en route to the Planet of Junk, but come on- how many times are we going to crash land? And we just got that ship!

[He pauses, optics narrowing as he looks around once more. There's...something that... No. Probably his imagination. He shakes his head.]

I know I didn't let any of those big bozos drive so how... Guess I should start with "where." -huh?

[He looks directly at the screen, finally.]

Kup? Wheelie? Hey, I'll even settle for Grimlock! Where are you guys?

...aaand no matter what universe, he's still got the ego to go with it.

The name's Hot Rod.

Who's Wreck-Gar? -times too?

[SIGH.]

...Well, I guess if Ultra Magnus said we come falling in from different universes, then time is kind of thrown into the mix too.

[So even the ones he thinks he knows aren't...really... This just makes his head hurt.

But at least it's nice to know somethings don't change. He smirks, forcing a laugh.]

Hey, I think you're confused about who the awesome one is.

The not thinking about it much is the hard part. In general, I mean. ["Captain" Hot Rod. ...okay, that sounds kind of dumb but hey.]

-what? You're kidding me. I thought it'd be something a little more... Non-secretarial.

He's the...wow, when the frag are you from?

It's a long story. He's here and he can explain it to you himself.

[Which Springer will want a front row seat for.]

Yeah? Maybe I need a refresher.

I- ...guess I didn't tell you, right. We were just on our way from Quintessa to come find you guys. I'd ask if you saw Kup or the Dinobots but that was before I found out we hadn't crash-landed after all.

Oh. Um. Great. [More things to be confused about, yay.]

Maybe you do.

What bad Earth romance novel did you crawl out of?

[Have an odd look.]

I don't follow.

You know -- hot rod -- oh never mind.

Look, if you don't have anything useful to tell me- actually why are you even talking to me anyway? Got nothing better to do when you're stuck here, is that it?

[Technically that is true since he's still locked in a room. Tormenting people via the network is the only thing he can do.]

If you'd like I could go out and shoot people in order to pass the time.

Huh, so it's either me or someone else getting tormented by you. Guess I'll bite the bullet. I'll admit, this is probably the longest I've ever talked to a Decepticon without shots being exchanged.

That tends to happen when you are at war and are trying to kill one another.

But I can't exactly do that over this network.

[And while he's locked in a room.]

Oh. Hey, wow we got a lot to catch up on! Good thing they just opened the bar.

[You're buying.]

Name your contest and I'm so there.

[Oh wait. Should he be trying to be a good host?] Right. Uh, hey, what else do you need to know?

True.

So we still playing by those rules here?

Unfortunately, no.

Well -- there are a few who make their own rules.

But I've been good. I swear.

A bar? [Give him a break, he just got here!]

Maybe later. I'm still trying to wrap my head around things.

[He shrugs.] You tell me. How long have you been here, anyway?

Right, and you expect me to trust a Decepticon.

....but then with all the crazy stuff I've been told already, I might actually believe you.

Just try.

I know this doesn't suit your idea of f...fff. ... Entertainment, but I need you to do this while I try to figure out what's going on.

[He manages not to sigh at that.]

Okay, okay. Fine. Names of new guys, check if they have a mark or not- got it.

-um, so what's the deal with that, anyway? The tattoo thing.

Of course you should believe me. I have no reason to lie to you.

Or do I?

I said "might."

[He just shakes his head.]

It implies some sort of connection with who is known as the Firstforged. They are the first constructed Cybertronians, supposedly. Mine indicates a link to Vector Prime.

More than that, I don't know. Even the Firstforged seem a bit uninformed. Why you are unmarked... you and many others. I don't know what that means.

Firstforged? Okay...

[He frowns a little, but nods.]

So all we get are more questions that need to be answered.

I know. I'm working on it.

All right. I'll see what I come up with on my end.

-oh yeah, where are you based around here?
