Arachnidphobia: Optimus, you better start explaining or I’m going to go over to your hose and strange it out of you

 

OptimusofPrime: What did I do?????

 

OptimusofPrime: I’m not who brought the Storm Urn to the mall

 

Arachnidphobia: ಠ_ಠ

 

Arachnidphobia: mhm

 

Megabitch: If you aren’t going to explain how the thing go there, at least explain what it was

 

Shockinglyontime: Wait, it was an urn?

 

Striker: ^

 

BuzzyBee: Why in Primus’ name was there a magical urn at the mall?!?!

 

OptimusofPrime: I can explain the name and the magical part of it but why it was there…

 

OptimusofPrime: That’s something else

 

SayingSari: Alright then. Start explaining

 

OptimusofPrime: This is going to be a long thing so get comfortable

 


 

6 September, 2:46

 

SayingSari: So let me get this straight

 

SayingSari: Magic exists

 

SayingSari: You are a part of the magic community in some way because of your ancestors

 

SayingSari: Who by the way, founded the magical form of government

 

SayingSari: And because of this you’re a target

 

SayingSari: Did I summarize everything right?

 

OptimusofPrime: Well…like you said, that’s the summarized, short version

 

OptimusofPrime: There is a longer version that I won’t tell you unless in person

 

Arachnidphobia: Is that why, before your mom got sick, she was like…a fucking badass?

 

OptimusofPrime: Pretty much

 

BuzzyBee: Is there anyone else in our school thtat has magic or something?

 

OptimusofPrime: From who I’ve been able to sense, Smite, Hymn, and Jeopardy. And maybe their entire group.

 

BulkingUp: Really?

 

Prowlaround: We’ve had magical people surrounding us this whole time?

 

Shockinglyontime: That’s a boring question. An acutal question would be something like, ‘why in Primus’ name did the sotrmt urn creation peeps put an acutal vegeful spititir in an artifact!!!!!????’

 

Soundingthealarm: It is an effective way to make it so that if anyone steals anything, they get cursed.

 

Striker: I hate that I can’t argue with that logic

 

Luggernaught: Are there any other artifacts we need to look out for that we might need warning from?

 

OptimusofPrime: I don’t know for sure. I have one, but it’s pretty tame unless I have it around me for too long.

 

Megabitch: The hell’s that supposed to mean?

 

OptimusofPrime: It means that it feeds off my energy. If it gets too much energy, it’ll go I guess it can be called ‘haywire’

 

OptimusofPrime: The artifact was made to protect the one which can manipulate both auras which belong to non-magic using people and energy, which belongs to magic using people

 

OptimusofPrime: If it gets too much of ‘my’ energy, it’ll go into a protective-like mode and think anything is a threat unless explicitly told otherwise

 

Megabitch: Damn

 

Blitzingthroughlife: It must be so hard to not use that on Sentinel

 

Screamingatthevoid: Oh my primus, I cannot imagien the amoutn of restraint that would take

 

OptimusofPrime: No that’s actually really easy

 

OptimusofPrime: What’s hard is resisting the urge to manipulate Sentinel’s aura. That’s hard.

 

BuzzyBee: Hold on

 

BuzzyBee: if you’re magical and all that, does that mean mama Pax is affected by some sort of magical disease?

 

OptimusofPrime: Yeah…it’s a type of coma-amnesia thing that makes it so that she goes into long bouts of sleep from time and when she does wake up, she can’t really remember anything for a while

 

Arachnidphobia: Oh

 

Megabitch: that must be hard

 

OptimusofPrime: I’ve got used to it

 

OptimusofPrime: Dads trying to make a cure. It’s why he’s not there a lot of the time, and our income mainly comes from the company that dad works for because he’s doing a really dangerous thing for them.

 

BuzzyBee: That’s rough

 

OptimusofPrime: Look, I gotta go but if you have any other questions, you can ask them and I'll answer them when I can.

Optimus Prime: OprimusofPrime

Bumblebee: BuzzyBee

Bulkhead: BulkingUp

Prowl: Prowlaround

Sari: SayingSari

 

6 September, 2:56

 

Prowlaround: You sure you’re doing aright Optimus?

 

SayingSari: Yeah, Optimus. You do know we’re here if you need to talk

 

OptimusofPrime: Thank you but I’ll be fine. I’m really the only one who can take care of her and I don’t like not being there when she wakes up if I can help it

 

BulkingUp: Does Sentinel or Ultra Magnus know?

 

OptimusofPrime: No, but Ms. Arcee and Ratchet do and I think Perceptor and some of the other teacher’s know that at least something is weird with my home life that isn’t normal

 

SayingSari: Even if they don’t know about the entire ‘coma-amnesia’ thing, they shouldn’t be like that to you.

 

OptimusofPrime: Yeah. It’s alright. I’m…used to it.

 

Prowlaround: That’s the thing Optimus, you shouldn’t be

 

BuzzyBee: Yeah bossbot. This isn’t something a teen should be used to. We’re supposed to be having fun, going to parties, things like that. Not trying to keep two different dimensions from colliding and causing the apocalypse!!

 

OptimusofPrime: That’s not what I’m doing B. However powerful I am, I’m not the one who makes sure the dimensions are divided. But thank you for the reassurance.

 

BuzzyBee: course bossbot

Ratchet: Hey kid, I saw what happened.

 

Ratchet: Are you doing okay?

 

OptimusofPrime: Honestly Ratchet I don’t know

 

OptimusofPrime: I almost killed an entire mall of people because I wasn’t able to sense a simple artifact

 

OptimusofPrime: and then, while I was looking for said artifact, I somehow harmed five different people, and somehow trapped all six of us into a crater that no one could get out of.

 

OptimusofPrime: Megatron came over to help me. And remember what Sentinel wanted me to do to him?

 

Ratchet: Yes

 

OptimusofPrime: How am I supposed to stalk him when he saved my life and fixed my screw up?

 

OptimusofPrime: What’s worse is that I saw Elita again.

 

Ratchet: Oh. She’s alive?

 

OptimusofPrime: Apparently! She wants to talk.

 

Ratchet: Is she the Blackarachnia girl?

 

OptimusofPrime: yeah

 

Ratchet: Jeez kid. You really are having a tough time huh?

 

OptimusofPrime: mhm

 

Ratchet: You want to come over? I have room and am in need of some explanation to an antique I found a couple days ago.

 

OptimusofPrime: Y’know

 

OptimusofPrime: That actually seems nice. I’ll make sure mom has everything she needs if she wakes up while I’m gone and then I’ll head over there.

 

Ratchet: See you then kid.

 

OptimusofPrime: See ya. And thank you Ratchet.

 

Ratchet: Of course.

Notes:

I'm trying to do a thing where I post every day, at least a thousand words or so. Wish me luck!
