Saving VIN

Reply to x

The cold, windy air nipped at his exposed arms, stinging the fresh wounds that littered his flesh. The ropes around his wrists prevented him from bringing his arms around to hug himself, to keep himself warm. Even if he could, he would not dare touch the open cuts.

His voice had long since left him. Though he fought as bravely as he could, he still called for his dads, for his brother, for anyone. The men merely sniggered at the artificial child. They would be back for him, they warned.

VIN trembled as he screwed his eyes shut. He could no longer tell had bad his vision was getting as night fell and darkness consumed him. 

He found himself almost falling into a deep sleep before a voice pierced the roaring wind. A familiar voice...

“D...Dad...?”

Though he tried to speak, there was no sound. His whispers were inaudible in this brutal environment. But he knew he was right. His dad was here, he had found him. 

It took a fair bit of effort to pry his eyes open, his tears almost sealing his lids shut. Sure enough, KITT stood before him. “Dad...” In that instant, he felt safe. He felt his father’s comfort pierce through the bitter wind to warm his soul.

🕸 - what’s your least favorite thing about halloween? // muse is your choice~

[Halloween Asks || Accepting!]

"I can't participate!! All the other kids get to go have fun, n' dress up, and beg for sweets- whatever those are- but I try to do it, and suddenly there's all this screaming about 'THE CAR'S DRIVING ITSELF!'. Well duh, Karen! I'm not a self-driving car for nothing...!!" Vin huffed- somehow. "I tell ya what, I hope I can celebrate one year...!! And maybe ruin that one woman's yard. She was mean to me..."

[Drabble - Sleep]

This is literally seven sentences long and if you think it’s serious-

... It absolutely is.

“... I’ll sleep later.”

“Sleep- now. So you’re- well rested in the- morning.”

“Daaaaad! STOP BEING A BUZZKILL!!”

“Gotta agree with the kid, Sounders.”

Soundwave was now disappointed in both his partner, and his adopted car-child.

I discovered babies are very dangerous because their diapers are like guns; You always have to assume they're loaded.

"Do you mean they're guns?!"

"I'M OUTTA HERE, NO BABY'S SHOOTING HOLES INT' THIS FRAME!"

I dare you to sprout the wings of a bat, and stomp like a zombie while singing "Row Row your Boat" in a carwash.

"Oh, if I could, I totally would!!!"

...

.....

".... What's 'Row Row Your Boat'?"

“I’m a car, just a normal, not-talking, not-self-driving, totally lame-o car..” Vin huffed quietly. “.... Why’d non and dad even ask me to do this..?!”

[Drabble - Creepies]

“... N-non, maybe-- can... Can I stay in the cave tonight...?” Vin was practically shaking as he asked. Writer put away their phone, the last words of the latest creepypasta echoing through their mind.

‘Don’t look at the moon. You don’t want to know what’s looking back.’ They cast a glance to the stars, glimmering just out of reach beyond a dim green shield of leaves. They couldn’t see the actual night sky, but all the same, they were faintly unsettled.

“... I wouldn’t mind.” They motioned towards the cavern’s entrance, standing up and beginning to make their way. They paused for a moment, leaning on Vin’s hood as they breathed in. “... It’ll be alright... Soundwave would be here in a blink if anything happened to either of us...” They murmured to the shuddering frame. Vin waved his optics in acknowledgement.

The two passed under the archway of rock, with Writer making their way towards the makeshift bed. They shuffled under the covers, noting Vin taking up a spot less than a foot from the head of their ‘bed’.

A soft smile appeared. They patted one of the nearest tires, before settling down fully.

“... It’ll be okay... Creepypasta is just that- horror stories. They aren’t real, Vin.”

“But what if that one was real??...” Vin whimpered. Writer sighed, resting their hand fully on the tire.

“.... Then don’t go outside... Not until daylight... Alright?” A very, very quiet ‘mhm...’ escaped him, terror laced within. Writer rested their hand on the frame, now. “.... I’ll keep you safe, Vin...” The frame relaxed, a little. “... We’ll be okay, so long as we have each other...”

“.... Promise?”

“... Promise.”

"Actually, I am a secret!- WaitIprobablyshouldn'thavesaidthat."

Vin is horrible at keeping secrets.- Even himself. Never ask the guy to try to keep one, it'll be all over the state before the hour's out...! Thanks to his new living situation, though, it is harder for him to share secrets at all... But the car still SUCKS at keeping secrets.

“Ohthankgoodness, a person!” Vin laughed, a little desperately. “Please, please, pleasepleasepleasepleasePLEASE tell me you know where the nearest gas station is!!!... Like- within ten miles. I’m running on empty...!!!”

Headcanons - Vin - 1

Technically, Vin can survive on solar energy- but it’s like surviving on candy vs. surviving on an actual diet. It gives him energy, but not a ton.

After his upgrade so he could eat food, Vin can derive energy from normal ‘organic’ food sources- the more combustible a food is, however, the more energy he gets from it.

He can ‘transform’ at will (form the steering wheel/gas pedals). However, if he doesn’t want you driving him, you bloody won’t be.

After the death of his original family, Vin is more hesitant to have siblings/parents/etc.- however, that will not stop him from trying to form such relationships.

He will do ANYTHING to protect those he cares about.

He can pop a wheelie at will- even while parked. It’s part of how he emotes!

If you tell him something is a joke, he’s 99% likely to laugh at it- even if he doesn’t get it.

Vin’s ECU has been attached more to his interior so that he’s less likely to have his brain wiped.

Can he tease? Yes. Will he? OH, MOST CERTAINLY.

Vin will almost never go at his top speed (Mach 1) unless the situation calls for it (and he has a LONG open road ahead of him).

Since he doesn’t know a lot, he tends to use his connection to the internet to his advantage. Watch out, he WILL play as much into a trope as he can if he hears you calling your relationship with him one (siblings? BOOM suddenly he’s the bro. Parent? BANG now he’s the chaotic child. Rival? SHABOOSH he’s now trying to tease you into a race).

He has a side-job as a Scamper Driver, which he uses to pay for his gas, lube, and other necessities. Writer usually rides along as his ‘driver’.

In-line with that, Soundwave taught Vin how to message using the comm links, so Vin usually chats with Writer and Soundwave over messages when he’s not at ‘home’.

He’s been equipped with a small portable Groundbridge device that he can activate at will. This is what he uses to travel between worlds/get home and back to Earth- he learned early not to visit his dad while Soundwave was at ‘work’.

Vin will interact with Autobots and Decepticons alike- so long as they don’t try to kill/hack him.

He has been hacked in the past, so he’s more wary around tech-savvy beings.
