Optimus "big buff bara truck" Prime ([personal profile] luckyfaceplate) wrote in [community profile] robothell2015-02-01 03:23 pm

[Closed], [Open] after

WHO: [Closed] - Optimus and non-Lost Lighters
[Open] - Optimus and YOU!
[Closed] - Optimus and Sentinel
WHERE: Near the Crater
WHEN: After Bumblebee recovers from being hurt, a few weeks after everyone's arrival
WHAT: Information sharing and political stuff
WARNINGS: NONE

[CLOSED: NON-LOST LIGHTERS: NO TARN ALLOWED]

Optimus had asked word to be spread about a gathering. It'd taken some time (some of them had gotten injured along the way), but word had gotten out. With a new, yet destroyed Cybertron, Optimus had wanted to set the record straight with quite a few things. One, that they were not here to continue the war. The planet's landscape was proof enough that the environment had clearly seen its fill of that. Two, to fill in others who had not otherwise caught up with what was going on back home, as well as any people not from that universe. And three, how leadership should be distributed.

Topics covered
-Finding out just who is and isn't accounted for
-The Megatron situation
-Filling in on what's been going on for those not caught up
-Leadership and how it's going to be treated, who's going to follow who's lead.

The rest is just mingling, catching up on some old friends who may have died or worse. Feel free to use this as a moment to make new friends as well, or potential new not-so friends.

Who knows!

[LATER: OPEN TO ALL]

After the meeting had taken place, Optimus had decided to get a little 'fresh air'. Why yes, he knows he doesn't breathe. But with everything now as situated as possible, he needed to consider some of his personal thoughts. Things that couldn't be brought up there. Many things had come back from the dead (quite literally in some aspects) on his arrival here, and dealing with those wounds opening was not something he'd originally thought he'd face so soon. Bumblebee...Shockwave...Roller...

Was the universe teasing him on this? He'd miraculously gotten Ironhide back, it wasn't completely beyond all reason. But it'd reminded him just how fragile everything was in his hold. If he believed in it, he'd call himself cursed.

No...it'd been a series of circumstances. Series of many things that went wrong. Things not even he could have prevented if he wanted to. And sometimes...

He didn't know which one was worse.

[EVEN LATER: CLOSED: TO SENTINEL PRIME]

This had been long overdue. Optimus had met Sentinel Prime the day they'd all arrived, and while their conversation had been anything but pleasant, there was still unfinished business to attend to. Granted, before he could, Megatron had gotten ahold of the Prime before him, finishing what he'd somewhat started. Sentinel himself was...alive, at least. In extreme medical care, but fine. All Optimus could do was wait until he was conscious again.

Before he'd have a chat.

He walks in, giving his regards to whichever medic was on duty at the time before glancing around, looking for the ex-Prime. Thankfully, he wasn't too hard to spot. A large gold and red monstrosity was very hard to miss. The green thumb of Cybertronians, dripping with pretentiousness. There's a brisk walk over to his bed, eyes as hard as when they'd met for the first time.

"You're awake."

Nice observation, Optimus.

"I was beginning to think you'd become a real sleeping beauty."

The sarcasm, there's oh so much.

"Oh." The amusement drains out of Aftermath's voice as he lifts the tiny camera up to face-level. "I'm sorry to hear that, that is very unfortunate."

Spy Shot gives a little shrug, not looking particularly bothered. Then again, his expression doesn't seem to change much at all.

"She is probably still at home, but I am here now."

Poor Vera, stuck using an inferior non-sentient camera. Spy Shot would make it up to her when he gets home with all this footage of an alien planet and NBEs.

"I hope you find your way safely back to her some time." Aftermath cups his hands together protectively.

"What is your name?" he asks, tone gentle.

"Me too," Spy Shot says, gaze drawn from Aftermath's face to the giant hands surrounding him. Vera says that it's polite to look at people while you're talking to them, but it's really hard to resist his curiosity sometimes. He's already inspected Aftermath's face, after all!

"I am Spy Shot 6."

[More than any other part of their conversation, THIS seems to agitate Megatron the most. His eyes flash and there's a loud shiiing as he unsheathes his sword. He doesn't attack. Not yet. But the desire is there.]

Then you are as blind as the Optimus in my own dimension.

Perhaps one day I will get one of you to see your greatness, and acknowledge yourself as a deity you are. And there is no equality, such things is only the dream of the foolish. I have long since stopped being a fool.

[Fight me his optics say as he shifts his feet slightly.]

I will tear you down and wait for my own Optimus to appear. When he does, I will tear him down also. It is my greatest desire to spend an eternity slaughtering you, over and over again.

"There you go, then."

He's not sure what else to add. Just like he isn't sure where the lines are now. He doesn't want to lose his partner's friendship. Ever. But if one of them is Prime, what does that mean, exactly?

"Look, I... I don't want to not be. Can we be? Primes don't really... have random cop buddies."

His head twitches back, like he's been shoved. He shakes his head, dragging his hands down it. "I don't know? How can I make that call? I don't remember anything after..."

After Shockwave was taken.

"It is not my home either," Spy Shot says in commiseration. "Though I'm not sure whether or not it is my dimension"

Did his NBEs come from Cybertron? Could this be their home? He really had no way of knowing. He regrets not having tried to go with the yellow NBE when it took the Cube and NBE-1 woke up. Then he could have learned more.

Of course, he also wouldn't have met Vers, and he doesn't regret that.

But she has mechanics! ... On Earth, and not here. Whoops.

And it's only awkward for Optimus. She doesn't know what awkward is.

So...

Enjoy that slow blink at his offer.

"This Unit was scouting the area, it would not mind continuing in the presence of Optimus Prime."

In other words, sure she'll walk with you big guy.

Aw fuuuuuuck the cat is clawing its way out of the bag.

"...good eye," Starscream murmurs warily, wings flicking thoughtfully. "I certainly hope that is not a problem. I mean you no harm, and I am just as lost and confused as anyone about being summoned to this Cybertron."

Nope, not ever gonna admit it.

And she's briefly staring at the offered hand.

"This Unit's legs are still functioning, if distance becomes an issue it can fly instead."

Jeez Optimus, she's not a tiny baby that needs to be carried.

"Okay," she says, satisfied.

And then doesn't have anything else to say.


This is. Awkward.
officerjuicebox: (little people are talking again)

"I didn't say that either, I just..." Those big hands gesture helplessly at the air. Because he hadn't said it -- but that didn't mean it hadn't been there, in a sense, implied despite himself. "Where do I even stand with you?"

He looks away, folding his arms. The gesture is more defensive than angry.

You'd have to go back four million years or whatever-- is what he almost says. Instead, he forces himself to think.

"... Tell me what you want me to call you."

Because that would be a start.

He usually is.

Sentinel rolls his optics in exasperation, "Perhaps I'll make an extra effort to stay online to spite those who wish otherwise."

Just after he's finished being an ass, something twinges inside him again and he winces ever so slightly. Ow. Maybe that's not a good idea.

Spy Shot nods so fervently one my worry his little head will fly off. A whole new planet! It's fantastic! He loves new things so much, and here he has a whole other planet full of new thing and places and people- it's a lot of excitement for one little camera.

He has to pause and think about Optimus's next question, and after consideration of all the facts, all he can give is a little shrug. "I think I am alive? I was a camera, but then I was a camera and also a robot because of-" Hm. Words hardly do justice to the Cube. So Spy Shot turns around, presenting the small screen in his back to Optimus, and shows him a picture of it. "-Because of this."
