hadriel_logs | Event Log: Is It a Wonderful Life?

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for Is It A Wonderful Life? event
Where: All over the city
When: Jan 4th-8th
Warnings: None

Throughout the next few days, you may find yourself plagued by visions and dreams of back home. The dreams will be lifelike and difficult to tell apart from reality, as the world will be constructed from what you remember of your world. However, unlike usual dreams, you won't be present, and will find yourself unable to be seen or heard by those around you.

The dreams are vivid reminders of what might happen in a world without you: a world in which you disappeared when coming to Hadriel, a world which desperately needs you back for some reason or another. You may see your parents putting up missing posters, your significant other moving onto their next relationship, or even your hated villain finally taking over the world without you there to stop them.

When the vision leaves, you're back here and nothing about the city has changed. Though maybe you have a different outlook on it now...

[ Knock Out has definitely not reached the stage of caring about random humans, whether they're crouched in the street or not, but it's unusual enough that as he's striding by he at least slows and looks at her for a moment. Another hallucination? He's already had two of his own, vastly different and yet with a common thread between them of his own unnoticed absence, so it's a solid wager something similar has happened to this one.

Rather than ask if she's all right, or any similar mode of polite askance of her well being, he just nudges her curiously with a heavy pede. ]

[It's funny that she doesn't hear him coming. Funny that she's so comfortable with the sound of footsteps like his that she barely notices them at all. She does, however, notice being nudged and looks up first with irritation, then clear surprise.]

Knock Out?

[But, wait. Chances are good that he doesn't know who she is any more than Glacius and Starscream did. This could get awkward.]

[ Of all the reactions he could have expected, being called by name was not on the list. He's clearly surprised first, then suspicious. ]

I don't believe we've met.

[She stares at him for a moment, then lets out a humourless laugh and scrubs the heel of her hand beneath one of her eyes.]

No, I suppose we haven't. [It's always too much to hope that someone who remembers her could end up here.] My mistake.

No, no, I'm quite interested. How did you know my name?

Because I've met you before. [Poison sighs after a few moments of silence.]

I know your name, where you come from, that you're a Decepticon and what that means. I know you can transform into a car and that you're really vain.

[She shrugs one shoulder. If she's going to say it, it might as well all come out at once.]

But you're a good medic.

[ That good and effectively curbs Knock Out's usual patter for several moments. He has no reason not to think Poison's telling the truth, especially given that damningly accurate run down of facts, but he definitely doesn't know her. This must qualify as one of Hadriel's weird quirks, he decides. ]

Well then... at least I gave you a proper introduction to myself. Do I get to know your name?

My name is Poison.

[People either thinks it's a strange name, or they don't, and she isn't entirely sure how Knock Out will judge it. It isn't anything like a Cybertronian name, but how much would he know about human names to see it as unusual?

Not that she cares, either way.]

... I remember you being taller.

Poison.

[ There's no recognition in the name, though he does think it's a bit odd. Not enough to comment on it, but enough to note. Her second comment is enough to derail that train of thought anyway, and he vents out a loud huff. ]

I am taller! The Door did something to me when I arrived, now I'm practically a Mini-Con! It's humiliating.

[She fights a smile, the expression pulling at the corners of her mouth as much as she tries to keep it from happening. Knock Out might not know her, but she does have some fond memories of him.]

... Are you small in your alt mode, too?

[Oh, Spirits, is he a tiny car?]

No! Thank the AllSpark, that's been unaffected.

[ He'd be up in arms much more if his beautiful alt mode had been turned into some kind of mockery. He hasn't spent much time in his alt mode since arriving here, but he did test it out. ]

I don't remember meeting you, but clearly I thought you were worth the time to discuss things with. That's something, I suppose.
