[OOM: " Bumblebee, there's something I have to tell you...The elevator doors slide open, cunningly concealed paneling parting to a sound best described as the THX sound played in reverse. The mech who makes his way out looks as if he's just been served with a court order to wipe every RIAA-owned data byte off every piece of storage media he owns- or ( Read more... )

For what it's worth, some people do the same thing by not thinking about what ever's bugging them. And usually, a distraction like work or a project helps.

In tonight's case, Tyler's had that stupid dream again, and is swinging from the rafters practicing until he's going to be too worn out to have that dream. Thus it comes to the boy swinging and hanging upside down from one rafter to watch the 'bot for a moment. "Hey 'Bee."

Bumblebee glances up at the voice and waves. "Hi, Tyler," he says, his voice rusty and crackly as ever. "How are you?"

tyler_marlocke August 2 2009, 04:55:25 UTC

Pause.

"...Okay I guess." In between wanting to scream about having had a nightmare...and just wanting it to go the heck AWAY already. "Can't sleep, how about you?"

prob_japanese August 2 2009, 05:01:14 UTC

The mech gives a complicated little shrug. "I've had better days," he says. "Sam Witwicky is going off to college- the human I've been guarding back home."

tyler_marlocke August 2 2009, 05:06:19 UTC

"...guarding him from what?" Sorry Bee, Tyler hasn't exactly been informed on Autobot relations outside of Cubefall.

Bumblebee starts to speak, then stops, then thinks for a moment.

"Has anyone told you why my people came to Earth in the first place?" he finally says.

tyler_marlocke August 2 2009, 05:09:08 UTC

Tyler shakes his head. He's got information on why they came to earth in comics in HIS verse...but like many other alternate verses, your mileage and major turning points may vary.

"This may take a while to explain," Bumblebee says. "You might want to get a drink. I promise to make it as quick as I can."

tyler_marlocke August 2 2009, 05:13:41 UTC

"Kay." He's up for a little story time. And one trip and a tray with a mug of hot ovaltine the size of his head and a stack of smores, he's sitting down into a booth, looking up at Bee expectantly.

Bumblebee nods, and glances over at the Window for a moment.

Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I’ll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew.

Before we packed our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home,
And a life no one could touch....

"I can't vouch for any other Cybertron," he says, shifting back into his own voice, "but in my universe, Cybertron was ruled jointly by two mechs, the Lord and the Prime, all the way back to the first thirteen mechs ever incepted. You already know who incepted the Firstforged. They were the first life on Cybertron after the original Cubefall."

tyler_marlocke August 2 2009, 05:20:24 UTC

...

Take Tyler's headtilt to mean he knows exactly jack-diddly about the Firstforged, other than they were the first life on Cybertron created by the cube. He suspects there's religion and a god involved.

"Who incepted the Firstforged?"

prob_japanese August 2 2009, 05:23:56 UTC

"The Cube itself," says Bumblebee. "The Allspark. There was no one and nothing else present to do it, after all."

tyler_marlocke August 2 2009, 05:25:19 UTC

"Oh." ...Expect mono-syllibic responses, unless he has a question about something. Bee has the boy's complete attention.

"I won't bore you with all of their names," says Bumblebee. "But their leaders were Orion Pax and Maximo, the first Prime and the first Lord. The Prime would allocate resources, the Lord would guard and defend. Like an open hand and a closed fist, both were needed, and both were very important. And when the Fallen became first of all of us to go offline forever, the two of them were the ones who decided to use the Allspark's power to bring more life to Cybertron, and build other mechs to follow after them."

tyler_marlocke August 2 2009, 05:35:36 UTC

"Following you so far." Said through a mouthful of smore.

prob_japanese August 2 2009, 05:50:25 UTC

Bumblebee nods. "It's been a long, long time since those days," he says. "As far as I can tell, my people have existed for about as long as... mm... about as long as there have been fish in Earth's oceans. And we have had a Prime and a Lord that long, deciding between them just when each generation of new mechs ought to be built, what was needed from them, and how many our world could sustain. There were problems, and wars, but most of that time was well spent, and our people were strong and contented ( ... )
