[There was Theophany, and fighting the Galactic Council troops. And then he heard Rodimus say something over comm, and there was a blinding flash. And now he was here, alone, standing in what looked like a courtyard, still half braced for combat. But Cyclonus wasn't next to him. No one was. Even the snow itself seemed undisturbed, a thick blanket of white, crunching under his feet. ]
[He reached for his communicube, stowing one of his twin blades, coming up instead with...a book? He'd seen them on Earth, of course, but, well, not on Theophany. And not in his own storage.]
[He flips through it, talking to himself.]
...must be the Metrotitan. All the old stories say they could teleport. Maybe he went after the others. To find the Knights of Cybertron.
But....[He looks up around the walls of the Cair rising around the courtyard.] Where is everyone else?

You look lost.
no subject
I, uh. Yes. Lost. There should be others with me.
...wherever this is.
no subject
You're in a pocket dimension called Paradisa, It's unlikely that the others you were with were brought here too.
no subject
I need to go back. This is all a mistake. Or something.

no subject
[He shakes it off, puzzled.]
You're strangely calm about it.
no subject
Even if I wanted to return, this world decides when that happens.
no subject
[He's always felt like he was needed. It's too much to think he could just be irrelevant.]
So you just sit back and let it keep you hostage?
no subject
When the alternative is worse, yes.
no subject
What's worse than being kept prisoner away from everyone who matters to you?
no subject
Being taken away from everything that matters to me.
no subject
So how can you be so complacent about being here?
no subject
I can imagine being in much worse places than here.

Dictated
[ooc: lol robot convention!]
Dictated LOL!!!
[Because that, uh, that doesn't sound very, you know....]
Dictated all the way down
no subject
[It sure is a something. Yup.]
Look. [You're a fellow robot; you're cool, right?] I really need to get back.
no subject
No one has figured out a way to escape yet.

no subject
Eventually it will do something... crazy psycho viruses, magic kissing, mirrors that drag you into trippy wonderlands. You never know.
Basically, this place sucks in just about any way you can imagine.
no subject
Sounds, uh, [Terrible? Horrible? Are you quote sure you're sane?]...interesting.
Who is it, though? I mean, someone has to be behind it.
no subject
[yeah, go ahead and sound skeptical noob.]
From what I've been told it's the Castle itself. It's alive or some bullshit.
It also took something from you. An ability, a memory or something else. Because apparently, it's just that much of a bastard.
no subject
Like a citiformer? Like Metroplex? [Because of course you know what those are.]
Took something? [And then it hits him: the weight he's so used to feeling between his shoulders. Gone.]
....where? WHY?
no subject
[No clue buddy.]
Ah, just figured out what it was...
no subject
Metroplex. No. He's one of the cityformers. Or he used to be. He's out there somewhere.
[But Drift doesn't think this kidnapping thing is quite Metroplex's style.]
Yes. [He's going to try to play it off lightly, like it's not, OH the worst thing in the world on top of ending up here.] I don't suppose I can get that back, either.
