Hey! Excuse me! Anyone on this line?

[This voice sounds... like you are talking to Guyman himself. Musical and modulated, and kind of sort of loud]

Since when did Cybertron have grass? Or... y'know still be here? The fact that it's still... I mean that it's not... y'know really... dead and stuff is sort of-

NO REALLY WHY IS THERE GRASS HERE?

[He sounds pretty disturbed by this]

Not that grass is bad! I like grass, it was great on earth, if... y'know anyone here has been there at all, but like- Is that a farm? ... There's a tiny farm he- Did anyone see the tiny farm? Oh my god, I have to get a picture of this no wait, hold on.

Comments

[the_earth_laughs]

[She nods.] There are many worlds, many realities and universes. They're all separate. Even this one.

Are there stories of Primus and Unicron where you're from?

[popculturecon]

Yeah. Lots of them. I mean no one actually believes them except lunatics, like Optimus.

[the_earth_laughs]

Well, I don't know if they're real in your reality, but they are in this one. The planet itself is Primus, and Unicron is currently...fused with him I guess. They're both sleeping.

The mist around the city, the Miasma, is a product of both of them, a mix of chaos and order. It's what brought you here.

[popculturecon]

... Okay so I guess that makes one thing Optimus wasn't talking out his aft about. Sort of.

Megatron kinda believes in it but not all... y'know eating peoples faces sort of degree.

So I have to blame Primus and Unicron for being stuck here? Oh my god, do you know how crazy that sounds?

[the_earth_laughs]

[She chuckles.] Very, I know. But it's true. [She shrugs.]

We're looking for a way to stop Unicron for good now. We know some stood to fight against him before, in fact, some of those made it here after Unicron's final attack, but he's not dead, he's just sleeping, and still causing problems.

[popculturecon]

Man that's really some like... Lovecraft stuff. What if he can't die?

[the_earth_laughs]

Then we make sure he remains trapped somewhere.

[popculturecon]

Oh man... I thought the war was bad, now I'm fighting against like... Robot Cthulhu and none of my friends are here and I can't even use a sword right.

[the_earth_laughs]

You'll make new friends. You're sweet and friendly, Soundwave, making friends should be easy for you.

As for the sword, you might find someone around here who would be willing to teach you.

[popculturecon]

Yeah... e-easy.

I hope so because I don't know how to use it, I just got it at the start of the war...

[the_earth_laughs]

[She pats the side of his finger.]

I'm sure you can find someone. [Like Wing.]

[popculturecon]

[Wing would know wouldn't he]

Y-yeah. Yeah someone has to know right? I mean everyone else is probably... really good at this.

[the_earth_laughs]

[He certainly would.]

[And she giggles again. She does that a lot.] I don't know about that, but someone here has to know how to use a sword.

[popculturecon]

Well they all act like they're really good at this...

[the_earth_laughs]

Well, how many have you met here, hon?

[popculturecon]

Breakdown, Wing, Knock Out, Jadewing and Dirge so far.

[the_earth_laughs]

That's not too many yet. Not everyone here was from a time of war in their worlds.

[popculturecon]

I still kinda feel like the odd one out...

[the_earth_laughs]

[She pats his finger again] Everyone is different, sweetie. You'll fit in just fine once you get settled.

[popculturecon]

Yeah I... hope so. It already seems like people don't think I'm weird or anything.

[the_earth_laughs]

A sweet thing like you? I can't imagine anyone finding you weird, honey.

[popculturecon]

Yeah well-

[DON'T RUIN IT]

... Hope it stays that way.

[the_earth_laughs]

[She giggles] I'm sure it will, sweetie. [She's just gonna flutter up and plant a soft kiss on the top edge of his visor.]

Are there any other questions I can help answer for you, honey?

[popculturecon]

Um... yeah where... do I recharge now?

[the_earth_laughs]

Anywhere you want, honey. There are open rooms and empty buildings all over the city. Most people tend to gravitate towards the center, The Hub. I can show you the way, if you’d like.
