You've been gone for how long?

*tap tap tap*

It was late, joors after closing, a steady silence filled the makeshift bar, other than the small rhythmic tapping of her digit on the countertop, the air felt still...empty.

Her optics couldn't help but drift into the stool in front of her, fourth one from the left, one of the only ones adjusted to be slightly raised. All for them.

Where were they?

R.I.G knew Ore had a streak of disappearing for days, call it wanderlust but they always seemed to be up to something. Fair enough, considering they had only recently been able to transform and act for themselves. Even when their choices at times didn't seem to be the wisest or particularly the best.

But three quartex's? That seemed much, even for the particularly hyper minibot.

They sighed, vents huffing out stale dust collected from how long she'd been standing there. ROFT will be displeased if she showed up late to another briefing, but for some reason she couldn't bring herself to head out yet. Maybe it was that uncomfortable silence she had to get used to again ever since Ore stopped showing up. Maybe it was that weird feeling in her tank she felt each time she had tried to comm them only to have been sent straight to static or at times distorted noise that, as much as she claimed didn't startle her, did.

Another ping to her comm told her she was on someones last nerve. With a small huff she pushed herself from the countertop ready to head out, however, the distinct sound of the sliding doors caught her attention. Her optics narrowed in slight annoyance, she didn't want to deal with some mech, it had been a long cycle.

"We're closed so turn back aroun-" She started as she turned to give whoever walked in a disapproving look. Only to see the last bot she expected.

"H-hey R.I.G, sorry I...just uhm...really wanted to see you."

R.I.G plating clicked as she tensed. She was stunned into silence as she took in the sight of the bot infront of her. It couldn't be. This stranger, although sharing that oh so similar color scheme and voice, albeit slightly trembling, couldn't possibly be.

"....Ore?" She finally managed to ask, slowly walking from behind the counter

"...Y-yeah?" They said, almost hesitant, as if that name seemed foreign to them as well.

"....Ore?" R.I.G repeated, almost in an accusatory tone.

This minibot, if she could even call them that anymore, they were almost twice the size she had remembered. And..was that a new alt mode? Too many questions buzzed in her processor as she approached them.

"Wh...I-..is it really you? Wh- Where have you been? Are you okay? What...what happened-?!"

She hadn't been able to contain her flurry of questions, but either way she was unceremoniously cut off when Ore had picked them up in a crushing grip. She could hear her frame creak in protest, but what concerned her more was the quiet rattling she heard from them. Ore was practically trembling, her EM field. although much more restrained and guarded than she remembered flickered in a maelstrom of emotion.

"O-ore, you're..kinda crushing me-" She finally spoke out, her HUD warning her about the pressure.

"..." Ore's silence was thick with emotion. It took everything in them not to burst into tears right then and there.

With a ragged vent they loosened their grip if only slightly. Before succumbing to their pent up grief, words spilling out faster than they could think them through.

"I-im sorry I just. It's been so long. so so long. I missed you, I missed you and Megatronus, and S4v3 and- and-I thought you wouldn't remember me anymore. I- and you were all right.. You were right about him..and I messed up so much. I'm sorry for not answering, I couldn't and. and I just...I missed it all. I don't even know how long I've been gone, Gadget told me something about time dilation but I didn't get it, i just know that its been forever-"

R.I.G processor whirled as she tried to keep up with Ore's rambling, they sounded so unlike them. So nervous, regretful, stricken to say the least. The only consistence being her winded speech and her desperate attempt at making sense.

But one thing stuck out.

The way they spoke, it sounded like they've personally seen Unicron and more. Her processor quickly repeated the number for how long they hadn't seen them. 3 quartex's, what could've possibly happened in three quartex's???

"ore...Ore!" R.I.G raised their voice, hoping to snap them out of it.

Ore flinched at the tone but it seemed to have done the trick, they slowly pulled their helm back, muttering a quick apology before setting them down.

R.I.G just stared at them, this was too much, too much to process, too much to feel about. But one thing kept nagging at them, enough for them to comment on it.

"Ore..what are you talking about, I...I haven't seen you in 3 quartexs..what happened?"

The look on Ores face could only be described as a brief glimpse of realization, horror and relief before they mumbled.

"...three quartex's? I...i guess I'm lucky then.." Ore said, their voice an almost shadow of their former chippy tone.

"What do you mean by that?" R.I.G asked, although they that same pit in their tank.

Ore seemed to hesitate a lot, prompting R.I.G to push.

"You said something about...I don't know..time dilation? Ore..how long do you think you've been gone?" They asked, just slightly sterner this time, it felt like the only way to get any semblance of answer.

They fiddled before giving a defeated sigh, looking at the floor as they mumbled.

"ten kilocycles..."

"...Ten. What"

(pspsps @primuses-least-favorite-child i think i went insane-)

(Forgot to respond but: AGAHQVHWUWVSODBSOWNSHSISBOSBSISBD GIVE ME YOUR WRITING SKILL PLSSSSSS)

(Also:)

(Peeled)

[allsparkbox-tfrp]

(Okay so that turned out to be a huge lie. Uh)

(I'm truly sorry for just dipping. It wasn't my intention.)

(I'm not sure when I'll be back and continue. For all I know here I am being dramatic and I'll start up again at 1 am.)

(Just. Sorry. For leaving you all hanging)

(Sorry to everyone for leaving rps hanging im in drawing mode right now, gotta catch up on some owed art)

(Hopefully I can get back into it much later today)

[allsparkbox-tfrp]

(Hheheh shed probably fight them off with a broom. She doesn't like it much lmao-)

(Also 💀 I'd feel like that for against job regulation. Just thinking of J4ckH4mm3r watching this and thinking how this new bot suddenly ranked up to a prime aide (or something equivalent))

*At Redstreaks persistence, Spearmint blush becomes more and more apparent, glancing away as they went to pick up their data pad*

“Ah…well…I feel like we should discuss this with J4ckh4mm3r first, before….anything happens” 

😐

(i saw the thing LMAO, uh idk whichever muse to stormflash maybe? or our trio)

@allsparkbox-tfrp

((Redstreak to Spearmint))

"I wanna have your sparklings."

That's the first thing Redstreak can think to say to Spearmint after a full day of watching her silently. They're now in the archives, away from prying eyes.

[allsparkbox-tfrp]

*Motorrad sort of shrugged*

“I mean not really, I can still move around and stuff”

*He said as he went to roll his shoulders to prove the point but as he did it he sort of tensed up.*

"okay I'd like to just check in with everyone sorry I've been off Comms guys "

"Uh..."

"I don't believe I've met you...Who are you?"

[allsparkbox-tfrp]

*Stormflash just hummed in acknowledgment before Ore took over, grabbing Colorbirds servo*

“Yeah! I can show you around!" 

*The minicon gently drags Colorbird away towards the ships entrance before opening the door and pulling them in*

“This is the control center, Stormflash mostly drives the ship, I tried to learn how but its a bit too much for me hah.”

“ Woah! Other mechs? I haven’t seen new people in forever! Hey!!! How are you?“ -Colorbird/🦜

( @thewanderersau )

"Hm? Oh hi! My names Ore, I'm doing alright so far. Don't think I've ever seen you."

[allsparkbox-tfrp]

*Motorrad shrugged*

"A small while, I think I just strained something, I do that a lot" 

“cus you're an idiot” 

“frag off-”

"okay I'd like to just check in with everyone sorry I've been off Comms guys "

"Uh..."

"I don't believe I've met you...Who are you?"

[allsparkbox-tfrp]

*Stormflash reciprocates the firm handshake before leaning back against the ship crossing his arms*

“hm, thanks. Your names pretty unique too."

*Stormflash took note of their constant movement but made no comment.*

“Well, feel free to look around, pretty sure Ore's gonna drag you everywhere either way, just don't go poking into things not meant for you."

*He said nonchalantly, the last part giving Ore a look that they quietly nodded too*

"Theres also some spare energon if you need any.” 

*He commented before turning back to whatever repairs he was working on the ship*

“ Woah! Other mechs? I haven’t seen new people in forever! Hey!!! How are you?“ -Colorbird/🦜

( @thewanderersau )

"Hm? Oh hi! My names Ore, I'm doing alright so far. Don't think I've ever seen you."

[allsparkbox-tfrp]

*Spearmint just stares back uncharacteristically dumbfounded. She made a quick glance around almost to check that no one was there at the moment. She cleared her voicebox before speaking up, trying to maintain her composure*  

“I…see. Uh, what…brings about this?"

😐

[allsparkbox-tfrp]

*Gadget scoffed, her optics narrowing slightly*

“We're not sparklings, you don't gotta sit down like that- ow!”

*She is promply cut off by a pinch and a look from Stormflash. Motorrad looks apprehensive but speaks up*

“Not really, I mean sometimes joint aches but thats normal.” 

"okay I'd like to just check in with everyone sorry I've been off Comms guys "

"Uh..."

"I don't believe I've met you...Who are you?"

[allsparkbox-tfrp]

*Spearmint was engrossed in sorting through some files, enough to keep her from fully understanding what Redstreak had actually said*

“Thats nice sweetspark.”

*It takes a moment but her processor finally catches up, causing her to almost drop her data pad as her helm slowly turns to Redstreak direction a subtle blush slowly spreading across her faceplate*

“...Pardon me, w- what did you say?” 

😐

*Stormflash sighs before finally turning around, he looks like he hasn't slept in…a bit*

“You're hiding from the con's huh? Well as long as you don't bring any trouble here, you can hang around I guess. The name's Stormflash by the way." 

*He said as he extended a servo for Colorbird to shake.*

“ Woah! Other mechs? I haven’t seen new people in forever! Hey!!! How are you?“ -Colorbird/🦜

Gadget: *Thinking she finally has a group of people she can be happy and develop with* Yknow, this stuff kinda nice

Ore: *wakes up the evilist guy imaginable who teams up with the other eviler guy*

Gadget: c'mon man I CANT HAVE SLAG IN THIS LIFE-
