Open! Visit shiny Cybertron, now with 100% less death and destruction!

Sep 23, 2010 22:13

With everything that had happened recently, and especially after GLaDoS and his chat with the Prince, Ratchet had been feeling... well, he supposed 'homesick' wasn't a very good word and 'lonely' just seemed too morose. Restless was probably better, so he'd made his way out to the Sensoriums. He'd been avoiding them for the most part simply because ( Read more... )

Bored and frustrated, Zetta had picked up his habit of butting his head into the sensoriums to harass the people within.

Now he'd ended up surrounded by giant robots. This really ought to make him reconsider his habits. It probably will not.

"Dammit," Zetta snarled as his minion hauled him, and ass, through the massive illusion of a robot city, furiously avoiding the obstacles both stationary and mobile that threatened, "this is probably going to be another bad day."

It wasn't difficult to pick out organics in a sea of metal, so to say that Zetta's minion stood out like a sore servo was putting it lightly. Nevermind that Zetta himself was a giant book.

A book that Ratchet vaguely remembered having seen in passing around the ship before; especially around the City. Pausing, he watched the human and the book barrel through the crowd, waiting until they were close before sticking a foot out into the human's path.

Then, just to be fair, he shouted "hey!" at the last minute.

The minion stopped on an impressively small dime, maintaining an iron grip on the Overlord. Said Overlord quickly checked the status screens. Not a sensorium construction? Good.

(Robot? Eh, he's a book, who's he to judge?)

"This place is pretty damn unique," he blustered, as if everything were perfectly normal. 'Scared' wasn't the right word anyway. Nothing scared Zetta, because nothing could withstand his badass power. But this place sure caught him off guard. "What happened here anyway? Four million years of naturally-occurring levers and pulleys getting out of hand?"

That was impressive. He kept forgetting how nimble humans were.

The book's comment got a short laugh from Ratchet, the medic setting his hands on his hips. "Hey, I haven't insulted your ancestors. I happen to come from a very distinguished line of creaky hinges. Care to explain why you're running around in here?" He looked between the book and the human carrying it, not quite sure who he should be talking to.

Most of the mechs that Stacy had populated the city street with bared a passing similarity to the owner of the memory they belonged to, but only in the same way that humans looked like other humans. And for the most part, Pepper's presence went more or less ignored by them, the simple AI their holographic forms were gifted with not quite deep enough to understand that her presence should be deeply unsettling. Ignored, that was, by all but one in particular.

Ratchet slipped around a passing mech and came up alongside her. "A new face in a crowd of old ones- what are the odds of that?"

Touche, Miss Potts. Touche.

"Yeah, this was Cybertron in its prime. I'm not sure if Stacy's doing us a favor or not, letting us take these walks down memory lane, but it sure feels nice."

Kaylee couldn't find it in her to focus on just one thing. The city, even this little part of it, was far past astounding, and the robots--the people of it--made it that much more impressive.

"This's where you come from, then?"

It's okay! You're fashionable late? talks2stoplight September 28 2010, 03:25:54 UTC

It took Ratchet a moment- he hadn't actually seen Kaylee since first waking up and even then their meeting had been brief, but it was hard to forget that bright eyed enthusiasm.

"Hey, long time no see," he greeted, surprise quickly changing to amusement at the look on her face. "Yeah, this is it. Well, was-- you know. This is just the east district of Iacon. I probably remember it being a lot prettier than it actually was." But what were fond memories if you couldn't embellish on them a little?

Very fashionably~ 8D voiceofserenity September 28 2010, 04:38:32 UTC

How could she forget this guy, really? "It was Ratchet, right?"

She took her time looking around and trying to take even more of it in before answering. Her face falls the slightest bit at the 'was,' but she does her best to smile back at him. "Can't blame you a bit for it. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tend to remember the good over the bad."

He nodded, letting her look around. The street was busy, but not packed, the walkway they were on following the curve of the building it was built against and wide enough for at least half a dozen mechs to walk shoulder to shoulder. Over the edge, the lights of the city dimmed towards the alleys; above, the number of bridges thinned considerably to allow for the air traffic, Cybertronians in airborne altmodes occasionally jetting between the buildings ( ... )
