01 [Video/Action]

[There are a million things wrong here, and Chromedome finds himself thinking of every single one of them. Was he kidnapped? Is his hallucinating? Perhaps he's been captured and having his mind messed with... though he's been paying attention to the little details, and they don't fit in with any mnemosurgery he knows. Yes, he's panicking just a lot little, but he manages to keep it to himself. For now.

He gathers that he's in some sort of organic colony, which is strange in itself. Still, he knows better than to run around where easily excitable organics can see him. Trying to duck behind buildings and stay out of sight is a hard thing when you're twenty-something feet tall. Eventually he gives up on that and figures out how to work this odd network device.

Casual as ever, he leans casually against a building and speaks as casually as he casually can.]

Hello! I'm Chromedome, I seem to have lost the ship I'm on and everyone on it. Any help retrieving them will be rewarded with hugs and friendship. So if anyone from the Lost Light is here I'd definitely like to hear your voice right about now.

Oh, and questions like "Where am I," and "What am I doing here" should probably be answered. As a general rule, it's never a good thing when you have to ask those questions.

One final thing: Yes, I am a giant robot. Nice to meet you.

[Oh hey giant robot, have a reply from a not so giant robot.

... not that Chromedome would know that since. Text reply.]

Hugs and friendship.

And it's Hinoto-Ri, it's a city.

[needlefingers]

[Hopefully you really weren't expecting hugs and friendship little guy, because Chromedome isn't handing either of those out right now.]

Hinoto-Ri.

Well, it's something. What planet are we on?

[text]

[prototype_blues]

[Nah, it was more a "wait really?" reaction to the offer. Blues isn't a hugs and friendship kinda guy.]

An Earth, I do believe.

[text]

[needlefingers]

Earth? Really?

I've heard a few things about this planet. Never expected to be here myself.

[text]

[prototype_blues]

It's a planet that's good to be on. I guess, never left it before.

And so... What, you're a giant space robot then?

[text]

[needlefingers]

Leaving your home planet from time to time can be a good thing. Just as long as you can go back to it.

I'm Cybertronian. From Cybertron.

[text]

[prototype_blues]

Never heard of either of those, space 'bot.

[text]

[needlefingers]

Probably for the best.

I guess we should get back on topic. Why am I here?

[text]

[prototype_blues]

To save this city from "evil" with a Persona.

Or at least that's the usual spiel you're gonna hear.

[text]

[needlefingers]

I have the feeling that Personas are important.

[text]

[prototype_blues]

I wouldn't say "important", useful when things go nuts around here but I haven't had the need to use mine constantly.

[Blues is the worse person to ask about Personae, Chromedome. The worse.]

[text]

[needlefingers]

So do things go nuts around here often?

[Not that it matters too much; Chromedome is very used to having things go crazy and be caught in the middle of it.]

[text]

[prototype_blues]

Define "often".

And you missed the recent bout of crazy, actually. So I guess you're pretty lucky compared to the rest of us.

[text]

[needlefingers]

[HAHA CHROMEDOME AND LUCKY.

HAHAHA.]

Guess I'm just a lucky kind of guy.

So what's this 'evil' we're supposed to be fighting? And, no offence, but why should I care? I mean... it's not really my planet...

[Video]

[universebeware]

Chromedome.

[There is a look of surprise on Brainstorm's face. He never really expected someone else from the Lost Light to show up after all this time. He's not really pleased, but he's not displeased, either. After all, it could have been someone much worse than Chromedome that showed up.]

Either I've been fed lies about the passage of time back home and Rodimus or someone sent you to find me, or you've been pulled here as well. Going by your reaction, however, I'm betting on the latter.

[Video]

[needlefingers]

Good to see you too Brainstorm.

[Though his tone is light and cheerful, Chromedome is really, really glad to see a familiar face. Chromedome gathers that Brainstorm must be the only other one here judging from that expression. He supposes that if he has to be stuck in unfamiliar place with someone, it might as well be a friend.

Thank the allspark it's not Prowl.]

Bet you've been having fun here with all these organics.

[Video]

[universebeware]

"Fun", he says...

[There's an amusement there, but more in the vein of the kind of amusement one has at the end of a long day of work where everything has gone wrong, and you're just one stupid customer away from falling off the deep-end face-first.]

I would not refer to the past nine months as 'fun' in any sense of the word. At least in general.

[Video]

[needlefingers]

Nine months? No way, I swear I just saw you a few hours ago.

[Logical conclusion: Brainstorm has finally gone crazy. It was only a matter of time before one of his inventions tragically backfired. Other logical conclusion: Chromedome has finally gone crazy. Maybe they're both crazy, who the hell knows?]

[video]

[phantom_envoy]

...I guess 'giant robot' is kinda comfortably familiar, anyway. Though you're a little bigger than I'm used to. You're not really green enough to be Coluan, so... mind if I ask what planet you're from?

Anyway, it looks like this is some kind of recurring pattern here. Intergalactic kidnap.

[video]

[badass_reporter]

[A giant robot offering hugs and friendship, huh? Neige's curiosity is piqued. But nevertheless:]

First off, your friends and ship are most likely nowhere to be found here. You're in Hinoto-Ri now, brought here by someone named Philemon, and...apparently we're all supposed to be protecting this place, but that's just what they're telling us.

[text]

[prototype_blues]

A lot of things, really. The Anoli, some fellow called Nyarlathotep and whatever insanity decides to happen after midnight.

You can leave if you want, I'm very sure they're not forcing you to stay.

[text]

[needlefingers]

Well, this totally sounds like fun I want to be in on. Still, my partner won't like it if I'm away for too long.

I'll be leaving if I can.

By the way, I don't think you gave me your name.

[video]

[needlefingers]

I'm from Cybertron. It's a nice enough place when it isn't destroyed by a war.

[Haha kidnapping, Chromedome isn't surprised.]

I guess there are worse places to be kidnapped to.

[video]

[needlefingers]

[It would really suck for Chromedome if someone took his hugs and friendship offer seriously. Sadly he only hugs other Cybertronians.]

Philemon. Huh.

[He doesn't show it, but the revelation that Rewind is mostly likely not here causes his spark to fall a little. It leaves him feeling unsettled and very lost... he could have handled this if his partner was here.]

You think there's another reason why we're here?

Re: [video]

[phantom_envoy]

Most planets usually are.

[The girl heaves a sigh and rests her head against a fist on one cheek.]

Sadly, I've never heard of a Cybertron, so I'm guessing you've never heard of a United Planets. You'd think someone would've heard of it; it's only composed of like, 70 planets and 600 billion living beings.
