Jun 27, 2011 23:00

[You know when you wake up and you feel like there's a leaden weight sitting on your chest, stopping you from moving? Most of the time when that happens, it's because of sleep paralysis. Somewhat less of the time, it's a close encounter of the third kind. ... This time, however, it's a very large Furret curled up neatly in the middle of Heather's ( Read more... )

...

[Ironhide suddenly has a calculating, slightly devious look about him. If he were about five tons heavier, that look would be utterly terrifying.]

... Know if there's anywhere to get a hold of metals? Tools?

[NOW THAT SHE'S SEEN WHAT HE REALLY LOOKS LIKE, SHE CAN APPRECIATE THIS.]

... Uhhh....

[A pause.]

... There's a pretty huge storage basement under the department store in Goldenrod.

[His expression gets a shade more thoughtful.]

... How far is Goldenrod from Violet?

Um... depends on if you can take the shortcut or if you have to detour to Azalea first.

If it's the former, it's maybe... three or four days to a week?

If it's the latter... two, maybe three weeks.

... Something to keep in mind when you DO get there, though!

[He just shakes his head -- Heather, you make him so very amused.]

[SHE'S HERE TILL TUESDAY-- TIP YOUR WAITRESSES.]

Anyway... so you can seriously turn into a truck back where you come from? That wasn't just some crazy thing my dream threw in for kicks, was it?

Yeah. I can. All of our kind have a vehicle mode. Just part of being who we are.

Aw, sweet.

Can any of you turn into motorcycles?

...

One of us could.

[... The smile fades.]

... Oh...

Sorry, I... keep forgetting. [She's not sure he ever explicitly used the term 'war', but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that's basically what was going on where he came from.]

[He shrugs a big shoulder.]

Not your war. Not your world... Why should you remember?

[He doesn't sound accusing, though. Just matter-of-fact.]

[Of all the horrors Heather has experienced, war isn't one of them. So she can't rightly comment on that. But...]

Losing someone is something that sucks no matter how it happens or what world you're from.

... 'Least that's how I see it. [One of the few truly universal things out there.]

I guess I just think it's worth remembering. ... Even when it happens to someone else.

[Ironhide... doesn't respond. Not for a minute or two. He drops his gaze.]

[When he speaks again, there's a heaviness to his words -- a weariness.]

It would take your lifetime for me to list the names of all the Autobots, all the noncombatants, this war has slaughtered...

[Another pause.]

If you wish to honor our dead... Remember the name 'Optimus Prime'.
