1st Prime // [Action]

[Lots and lots of new guys, huh? Well let's tack another one onto that list! And it's a doozy. The fountain rumbles a few minutes before barely managing to spit out it's newest arrival.  Wow.

And you guys thought Starscream was big.  Another robotic Goliath is shot into the air before falling hard onto the pavement.  In fact, that pavement is

[Four is scuttling around the base of the well. Alone. Without Three. He was separated from Three during the fire and he could not find him anywhere! Four is lost and frightened and HE JUST WANTS TO FIND HIS TWIN.

When Optimus Prime emerges suddenly from the Well, he panics completely and runs around in frantic circles.

HE CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS RIGHT NOW.]

[bravestofprimes]

[Another? These must be the dominant race of this area oh how wrong you are, Optimus. This one seems more frantic, and so he backs up to give the little one some space.]

Do not fear me...I will not bring harm to you.

[4_thecuriousone]

[Four eventually stops running around and just stands there anxiously. His eyes start at the Optimus's feet all the way to his head. Wow, he's pretty tall and interesting looking. If Three was here, they'd be all over it.

Instead Four just covers his eyes and sits down. Enough please. He doesn't want any more.]

[bravestofprimes]

[Optimus makes no attempt to approach Four. Instead, he kneels down to give less of a height difference.]

You are a gentle race, are you not?

[4_thecuriousone]

[Four peeks out at him from between his fingers. He sounds rather nice actually, Four finds that he likes his voice. Being mute, Four is only able to nod shyly at that question. Four doesn't like violence at all.]

[bravestofprimes]

[Optimus just assumes this one is quiet by choice rather than muteness.]

A peaceful race is a strong race. And no matter your size, you are still an equal.

[4_thecuriousone]

[Four lowers his hands and places them slowly on his lap. He tilts his head curiously up at Optimus and watches him with an intense interest. You do not seem like the type to squish him because he is small, and that's a quality Four rather likes in people. Or giant machines rather.]

[bravestofprimes]

[In a daring attempt, Optimus is going to reach a hand out to Four, holding it as still as stone to let him come over on his own time.]

[4_thecuriousone]

[Four gets up and almost flees. He catches himself though when he notices how fascinating Optimus's hands are. He taps his fingers around nervously before taking a step or two closer. If Three were here, they would have been over there by now.

Step by step Four slowly makes his way to the massive palm. Once he gets there he leans over and taps the metal with interest, his eyes clicking and flashing as he catalogs the sound and color.]

[bravestofprimes]

[Optimus holds his hand perfectly still for Four, letting him do whatever he'd like to it.]

Given by your personality and the flashing of your optics, I'd say you were meant for information gathering.

[4_thecuriousone]

[Four glances up at Optimus and nods before going back to his examinations. He jumps lightly onto his fingers and wanders up onto his palms. He looks up at him again and raises his arms as if he wants to touch Optimus's face.]

[bravestofprimes]

[Optimus can see what Four is requesting, and gives a slow nod.]

Please be careful not to fall. I will do my best to keep it as steady as I can.

[His hand slowly starts to move up towards his face.]

[4_thecuriousone]

[Four has a remarkable balance and stays on his feet easily. He watches Optimus's face come closer with an awed expression, and doesn't immediately dart over to examine it. It just occurs to him how frighteningly big Optimus is, and how very small Four is.

He edges shyly closer and reaches out and touches the side of his face. Can he feel at all? Four wonders how to convey such a complex question and decides not to bother. There is plenty for him to examine...]

[bravestofprimes]

[Optimus smiles a bit at the touch, obviously showing that yes, he can feel. He gazes at how small this creature's hand is, and is a bit astounded at how a lifeform can be this small and still function.]

Do not be afraid.

[4_thecuriousone]

[That's interesting! Four can feel too, but not like a human can (so he gathers from observation anyway). He backs away again and tilts his head up at Optimus's eye. Being only seven inches tall himself, that eye there seems enormous. He smiles, he's not afraid...not much anyway.

Oh! Did they do the introduction things? Four taps the tiny number 4 on his chest and turns as if to introduce someone right next to him. He sees no one and his shoulders slump slightly. He glances up at the robot with a curious look. Who are you?]

[bravestofprimes]

[After giving Four a careful glance of observation, Optimus sees the 4 on his body and nods in understanding.]

Four is your name. I see.

You may call me Optimus Prime.
