/dusts off the muse

[deusexraf]

Sure, I would have liked to see Cybertron...but like this? That isn't even-Cybertron! You're so excited about it being new and different...if Bee was there, I don't even think he'd recognize it!

...Are the Original Primes really that big? That's a little, um. More than I expected.

Sure, it's new and different, and it's not like there's a war going on- there isn't, right? - but I've already taken a look at who else is looking at going. And I'm not really sure this is a good idea.

...'could be worse, could be more Megatrons' isn't really that reassuring. Besides, you've got a lot of work ahead of you - maybe you should wait a little longer before bringing me?

I know I don't recognize it. Not really looking forward to winding up there myself.

[deusexraf]

On the bright side...you're Cybertronian, at least, right?

[spottyjudgement]

Yeah, but this is like taking a huge jump back. Like if someone sent you to Earth's stone age.

[deusexraf]

[THAT MEANS NO WIFI OH NOOOOOO Raf winces]

I get the picture.

[spottyjudgement]

Yeah. [He sighs, then shakes his head.] Not the best place to be, for either of us.

[deusexraf]

At least we won't be the only ones, I guess.

[spottyjudgement]

Yeah. And some...sort-of familiar faces. Kind of.

[Living legends is more like, but still.]

[deusexraf]

There's people you know?

God I need more icons for him

[spottyjudgement]

Well, I know a Blackarachnia, and I've sort-of seen a Optimus Prime and Starscream. Highly doubt they know me, though.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN

[deusexraf]

I'm not sure if that's better or worse than recognizing most of the names...that are Decepticons.

At least TFP is more accessible! Ahah...hah. Time to torrent hunt, I guess.

[spottyjudgement]

I'm gonna say worse - I'd rather know what to expect than be stuck running in blind.

Not that I have a choice right now, unless that lineup changes in my favor between now and later.

/patpat

[deusexraf]

There's still a little over two weeks. So...it might.

[spottyjudgement]

Maybe, but I'm not holding my breath.

[deusexraf]

...do you guys even need to breathe?

[CURIOUS RAF IS CURIOUS]

[spottyjudgement]

Maybe not in the same capacity as humans do, but we still need to cool our internals.

[deusexraf]

Circulation - got it. That makes sense.

[spottyjudgement]

Admittedly mun's unsure if being technorganic means I have something akin to lungs among all this. [He palms his chest in a couple of places as he says this.] Perhaps some review's in order for him.

[little_rocker]

Dude! At least your mun is sending somewhere! Mine hasn't decided where to send me yet. [So glaring at mun right now.]

[deusexraf]

-are they planning on sending you anywhere at all? I'd almost rather be in the same boat.

[little_rocker]

...Eventually? Seriously I think I have like the most indecisive mun ever dude. But you are going to be living it up in a sauna of 'Bots! Enjoy it Raf!

[deusexraf]

Mine's pretty impulsive. Maybe they should trade...but we're still talking a place where I'm going to be the shortest guy around by a whole lot more than I was in school.

[beat]

Besides, apparently it's going to be hard to even get something to eat there unless you're Cybertronian.

[alwaysfaithful]

You're making my mun a little curious about this game you are heading to. What's it like?

http://re-alignedmods.dreamwidth.org/1144.html should help!

[deusexraf]

From what I can understand? Cybertron - it's an alien planet - before...well, anything. There's supposed to be a whole species coming from it, but...this is early.

The people who made it what it is...they're called the 'Thirteen'...they haven't even finished yet. And somehow we're all coming anyway, through some sort of tear in dimensional space. Which seems to mean that we can help make it, too.

Ooh. Very interesting.

[alwaysfaithful]

That seems a bit... unusual for a world to start out. Not that I'm any expert on the matter but it still seems strange.

I'm Chris by the way. Chris Ramirez.

We're trying some new dynamics @_@

[deusexraf]

Call me Raf. It's nice to meet you, Chris. And I'm in total agreement...but considering I learned a while back that Earth formed around who those 'Thirteen' were created to combat...I guess I can't say it's too weird.

I may be apping there once apps open. I definitely like the ideas. When do the applications open?

[alwaysfaithful]

You too, Raf.

I guess you're right about that. I come from an Earth that's linked to another world called Ventara. So I guess it isn't too strange at that.

Apps open on the 15th, reserves are 'officially' open on the 1st though there's some already

[deusexraf]

'Ventara'? What do you mean, linked to it?

[HE'S DEFINITELY CURIOUS]

Definitely looks promising. Either Beast Wars Waspinator, or Chris will be heading there.

[alwaysfaithful]

From what I know of it, it looks very similar to Earth with few differences between them. A sort of alternate dimension to Earth. In Ventara there exists some kind of... I don't know, my friends called it the Advent Void and it was some sort of safeguard for twelve warriors called Kamen Riders. For every person on Earth, there existed a twin of that same person on Ventara.

But only someone with a device called an Advent Deck could travel between the two worlds.

We'd love to have you! Also I was wrong, app submissions open on the 8th, processing isn't til 15th

[deusexraf]

I've been trapped in a parallel world, before, but...there wasn't really anything there. Nothing like you're describing. Do you know someone who has an Advent Deck, then?

[beeboxer]

FwrrrrrrrzzzZZZp?

[Who's sending his buddy to Cybertron?]

[deusexraf]

[BUMBLEBUDDY oh gosh is Raf glad to see you]

My mundane is. For all I'm trying to convince her to give it more thought.

[beeboxer]

[Have a GLARE, Raf's mun, sending him a game without backup, for shame!]

qzzzZZZtrp?

[Will you have anybody ELSE?

He's seen some of the Decepticon reserves there...]

but it's fun to watch him worried :(

[deusexraf]

I think Ratchet is coming...

[...but that's a lot of Decepticons, yeah.]

[beeboxer]

[Well, okay, Ratchet, but...]

fwrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

[Still looks pretty dangerous...

Which is all very well and good when you have a partner, might even be fun but-]

[deusexraf]

Believe me, I'm with you all the way. It'd be at whole lot better if I had you to back me up, though.

[beeboxer]

[Full body droop. HIS MUN IS SUCH A PAIN]

KSSSSSSSSCHXT

[No second games for him, STAY SAFE.]

[deusexraf]

[he's a little disappointed, but considering how his mun's acting...he can totally understand.]

Hey, it's fine. I'll just stick by Ratchet - we work pretty good together, you know? Not as good as you and I, but...

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[Hey, he...sort of remembers you! You were standing next to Bulkhead's human.]

You're gettin' sent there too, kid?

[deusexraf]

'Too'? You're coming as well?

[it won't be just him and Ratchet surrounded by 'Cons! :D]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Yyyyyep. Good thing too. Looks like you and the Doc'll need a little...


Backup.

[deusexraf]

[and he smiles despite himself]

I think that sounds like a good idea.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Thought ya might.

Pretty impressed with what ya did to Wave's birdie, by the way.

[deusexraf]

Hey, I'm just glad it worked! Rushed or not, I was worried that it wouldn't take to that kind of system.

[totalhammertime]

[Oh, you're one of those Autobot pets.

Why the slag does his mun think he should care?]

[deusexraf]

[WHY ARE YOU HERE YOU'RE BIG AND MEAN AND REMIND HIM OF SOME OF THE GUYS WHO TRIED TO SHOVE HIM IN TO LOCKERS]

[invisiblepinkboat]

... Your mundane would send a human, nevermind a child to a planet not made for them, even if the point is to form it?

[Is that how humans are? Incredulous, but then, the reports from Earth is that the humans keep tssing themselves against the Decepticons, never mind Megatron.]

Recognizing it will be hard, however...

[deusexraf]

[the mun makes no apology.

Raf, on the other hand...]

I don't get it either. She seems to have a plan, but she's not really sharing any of it.

[invisiblepinkboat]

[the mun should be ashamed! Hear that, mun? ASHAMED.]

Well, I'm rather sure there'll be quite a few of us present who would help keep you, and any other human, protected if needed, but it shouldn't be needed.

[Even Swoop, in his tiny minicon body, had more protection than even an adult human did, armed or not.]
