Arrival [Action]

[yellowhugbuggy]

[ What just happened? Last thing he knew, he met up with his commander and now... this.

Bumblebee wakes with a few disorientated noises within that strange, thankfully Cybertronian sized pod... quickly getting into a bit of a panic. Thankfully his memories have returned by now and thus he draws on his Scout training. First, assess the situation. No sign of Decepticons right off the bat... good so far. Then there was a red pendant in his size. There was, though, a lot of humans.

He cautiously checks the box and opens it carefully... Looks like it has some of which was what humans call currency, a Cybertronian-sized communication device that looks built by humans but looks decades ahead of human technology as he knows it, and some kind of pamphlet. He gives that a quick read... before closing the box and getting out of the pod. From there, he transforms, makes his way to shore...

...Pay no attention to the 1976 Camero driving itself up to the hologram emitter stand to get his infodump. ]

(Bee will scan a futuristic beetle-ish Nova city car once shown there, of course)

IF PAPYRUS COULD FALL! INTO THE SKY! DO YOU THINK TIME? WOULD PASS PAPYRUS BY?? CAUSE YOU KNOW PAPYRUS WOULD WALK A THOUSAND MILES IF HE COULD JUST. SEE. YOU...

[The singing skeleton is getting his practice in for the contest next month. It's a work in progress. However, something catches his ears. He happened to be passing by The Bay when he heard an engine gunning. That's not normal! People shouldn't be driving in there! Maybe there was an accident! He's on the scene, boots heroically splashing in its brain-waters.]

HELLO?? IS ANYONE IN HERE?? THERE'S NO ROADS IN THIS CAVE!!

[yellowhugbuggy]

[ Bumblebee was fine even if the undercarriage of his alt-mode was wet from the water.

He pauses only a second to regard the strange, loud being before getting onto dry land and stopping... but without a driver, he was kind of noticeable. ]

[cool_skeleton]

[When it comes to cars, Papyrus is more a fan than any kind of mechanic. Looks okay to him! Phew. He stares dumbstruck as it coolly rolls itself out.]

...IT SEEMS YOUR CAR IS IN PERFECT WORKING POSITION!! THAT'S GOOD!! IS YOUR SEATBELT ON?? WINDOW WIPERS WORKING?? DO YOU KNOW TO DRIVE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD??? DO YOU KNOW WHAT ALL THE SIGNS MEAN??? YOU CAN ASK ME, I'M A DRIVER'S ED MASTER!!!

[He's been taking classes.]

[yellowhugbuggy]

You're... pretty... loud.

[ Bee of course has no vocal processors, so he has to use the radio to 'speak' using clips from the radio. ]

[cool_skeleton]

[He has yet to process that he is talking to a carbot, rather than one who prefers to remain inside. One day that clue will be his!]

THANKS! IT'S VERY IMPORTANT EVERYONE HEARS MY UPCOMING PERFORMANCE!! YOU'RE PRETTY AUDIBLE YOURSELF!

WELP, DRIVE SAFELY!! AND KEEP AN EYESOCKET ON THE ROAD; I'LL BE JOINING YOU SOON!!

[He's been working on his driving license and boy can he not wait to cruise.]

[un_wir_greywaren]

[ Ronan Can't ignore the 1976 Camaro. He can't ignore the obvious fact that it just came out of that cave where the pods are located. He definitely can not ignore the fact that it's driven up to the ugly hologram lady and seems to....listening?

He can and does pull out his phone, takes a picture, and sends it to Gansey. ]

[yellowhugbuggy]

[ He was not terribly sure what to say to that other than. ]

Good luck?

[yellowhugbuggy]

[ Perhaps a beetle would have been far less noticeable. And oh yes, he notices this guy point a phone at him, almost transforms without thinking. He might had done that if he was still missing his memories. ]

[un_wir_greywaren]

[ There isn't much that shocks Ronan, but he lets out a soft curse of astonishment and nearly drops his phone. Then he smiles. A real smile because how can he not. ]

Gansey and Noah has to see this.

[ The thought of sharing this with Adam hurts too much so he quickly shoves it away. ]

[cool_skeleton]

[Papyrus waved cheerfully, then continued down the street in song.]

NOW, WHERE WAS I???

...TONIIIIIGHT!!

[Play him out, ethereal piano]

[As soon as he realized that Ronan wasn't joking, Gansey runs as fast as he can for the bay where he'd woken up days before. As he dodges the people in his path, he's grateful that he hadn't quit working out when he'd quit the rowing team.

Even with all that training, he's winded by the time he arrives at the location that Ronan had texted. Sucking in lungfuls of air, he stares at the Camaro that looks similar to his orange one back home. There's a few differences due to styling changes, but it looks familiar enough that it makes his heart ache. God, he misses his car.

But this is supposed to be more than a car. Gansey's staring, awe and longing bright in his eyes. If Ronan's right...]

Whether he's right or not, you are stunning.

[yellowhugbuggy]

[ Bee realises he's caught, so... reluctantly transforms and waves sheepishly. ]

Re: Action

[yellowhugbuggy]

[ Stunning? That's a new one on him. The Autobot decides he might as well transform.

Have a sheepish wave. ]

Action

[affection_for_research]

[Gansey backs up a few steps, eyes wide as the Camaro transforms, but expression still filled with wonder. His own car is magical, but it can't compare to a Camaro that suddenly becomes a person... robot? He waves, still looking dazed by the sight in front of him.]

You marvelous creation. [His tone is hushed, awed, not really meant to be heard by others. It's the same words and tone that he uses when his friends use their magic and he's caught up in the beauty of their abilities. Caught up in the magical potential of the world around him.] Hello. I'm Gansey.

[Do robot/cars speak English? He hopes so.]

[yellowhugbuggy]

[ Creation? Well. At least he didn't call him a machine. ]

My name is Bumblebee. [ He has to use both radio clips and recordings from his memory... since he lost his voice in the fight against Blitzwing. ]
