[The little drone is looking down on a rather beat up looking blue mech. His red faceplate is marred by a huge hole where his left optic should be. The mists are still fading around him. After a moment his limbs twitch, and then he's surging upright and to his feet with a roar.]

[He stops, completely shocked by his surroundings. He's among graves. Simple stones marked with names ranging from clearly Cybertronian to more Human. Turning a slow circle he spots the drone and frowns.]

What the scrap is going on here?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Huh...so you end up here the same way I did?

[Hold that thought, he's doing to walk them through the ground bridge really quick. On the other side he'll pause and look around, taking thing in.]

Yep.

[She'll continue after they've passed through the portal, and her new acquaintance has had a moment to get oriented.]

Different first few choice words, same sentiment. It hasn't been bad, but... being stranded kind of bites. Best part's been the people. So,

[She twists a little, turning as well as she's able to look to the big bot.]

I should probably ask who it is I'm talking to.

Uh...Breakdown.

...You?

[Well...there's the hospital. He'll just head that way now.]

Sam. Nice to meet you.

[She'd do the same, if she weren't only along for the ride.]

Uh...you too. [Wow...this was so odd.]

[He'll head in and it doesn't take long to be sent back to a room to be looked at. Lucky for Sam one of the nurses comments that it's not polite to hold humans like that, and so on his way to the room he'll shift his hold on Sam to let her sit in his palm.]

...sorry.

[She waves a hand before she settles to sit with her legs folded, hands pressed against the big bot's palm.]

'Sokay; no harm, no foul. I was going to let it slide, at least until you were looked at.

...But while we're at it, for the future; A word first, if you're wanting to snatch someone up, okay?

[His remaining optic flickers at her as he kind of peers at her awkwardly.]

Uh...right. [He...he could...say something before picking a human up. No big deal...right?]

[Sam is at least accustomed to being inspected, even if it's normally her ink drawing others' attention. Her response to the peering? A level look back.]

We're cool, then. I don't know what sort of shitstorm you're fresh out of, but it seems like the least I can do is cut you some slack.

[It was a shitshorm he didn't want to talk about, but the comment did have his studying her...]

You're pretty laid back for a human.

So I've heard, except for the specification. Part of it's a natural inclination; the rest is me believing it's generally better to be chill.

[She shrugs, but she's still pleased to have made that impression; since she's being studied, it shows.]

You know many other humans?

[His mouth twists a bit and he looks away.]

I've met a few.

Oh.

[It's clear that they weren't... particularly pleasant. Probably not the kind of people one would want to be well-acquainted (or associated) with.]

I was just wondering, since you seemed sorta surprised by what the nurse said, and also because I don't usually draw such interested attention. Some, sure, but still.

[He looks back at her, studying her a moment.]

You're not what I was expecting. [Yeah, that's about as much of a compliment as he can really manage right now.]

[She shrugs.]

Guess that's fair.

[It's something she's heard on occasion, if not often. Maybe she'll ask what he was expecting, eventually. Now is probably not the best time to.]

So... while we're waiting, anything you wanna ask?

[There were a lot of things he wanted to ask, he just wasn't sure where to start]

How long have you been here?

[He's already off to a better start than Sam, given the question containing her 'first few choice words.']

Coming up on two months, but closer to a month and and a half.

...Earth months, that is. I've been going off my phone's calender because the days here are different and have me all messed up timewise.

Yeah, the time is different on Cybertron. Frankly I'm surprised you organics are able to live here at all.

I don't think I've really stopped being surprised since I got here; it's just become a new baseline.

[Maybe an exaggeration? But not by much. Dragons. Plural. Still, Sam shrugs off the musing.]

It's not like I had any real idea of what I'd be in for, but I've got to admit it's a lot more comfortable than what I would've expected, for being stranded on an alien planet.

Yeah, well...if this were the Cybertron I knew, you'd not be able to breathe.

Mon ostie de sain' sacramen'.

[Well.]

What a way to go that woulda been, to say nothing of 'too soon!'

Edited 2015-02-03 18:44 (UTC)

[He smirks, amused.]

Yeah, this breathing thing you organics do is a big deal, huh?

Yyyeah. Anything interfering with it really doesn't end well. At all. And even the stuff that's not necessarily life-threatening is really unpleasant to endure.

[She crosses her hands twice in emphasis. Nobody wants to deal with respiratory irritants. NOBODY.]

...next question?

[He gives a little shrug.] I'd never really thought of asking questions of humans before.

Well, you're welcome to. At least of this one, though I don't think any of the others around would mind... and many of those others would be able to provide you with more information about this place than me. I've only seen so much, so far, so.

[It is what it is, so she shrugs herself.]

[He gives another shrug.]

You have...questions for me? [Maybe her asking something would help him sort out his head and pick something to ask.]
