oo5 ★ GARDENING WITH JOLT

[electrowhipit]

[ When you're an Autobot, the best way to work off stress is to go out and slag some Decepticons.

When you're an Autobot stuck in a human body, and currently find that there aren't any Decepticons available for slagging (well, not any Decepticons that are your size), the best way to work off stress is... yard work, apparently.

Since fair early in the morning, Jolt has been in the front yard of 1249 Williams Road- raking leaves, pulling weeds, planting flowers. He seems to be enjoying himself. In fact, he might be humming a little, and possibly talking to the plants.

And no, he hasn't been droned. ]

And you as well. You live in the same house and Sideswipe?

[electrowhipit]

Huh? Oh, no. This is my house, he's just been staying here since he got hurt.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. So then you two are friends?

[electrowhipit]

[ there is a distinct pause there, but he nods ] Yeah. We're friends. We're from the same place.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Then are you also one of those...[She pauses, trying to recall the word.] Autobots?

[electrowhipit]

That's right. I'm usually... taller. A lot taller.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I see. [Yeah, she's still having a hard time wrapping her mind around that one, but she smiles.]

Well, I was stopping by because I told Sideswipe I would find him some books.

[electrowhipit]

[ he'll come visit her when he's 25 feet tall and made of metal ): ]

Books on what?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

[Oi. She might freak out just a bit.]

On the human body, and health. Since you both have human bodies now it would be wise if you knew how they work.

[electrowhipit]

[ ... he has a surprisingly adorable robot face if that's any consolation? ]

Oh, good idea. I have a... vague idea, since I spent some time with our medic back home, but I don't know much beyond the basics.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

[Perhaps. >_>]

Then I suppose you can share these. [She offers the books to him.] How has he been doing? Resting I hope.

[electrowhipit]

Hey, thanks. [ accepts the offered books, briefly looking through the titles ]

Yeah... he hates having to just lie around all the time, but he's been pretty good about staying put.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Well that's good. If my magic worked correctly he should be able to move around by tomorrow.

[electrowhipit]

Thanks for helping him out, by the way.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Not at all. I only wish that I could help more people like that.

[electrowhipit]

Still, not many people would just up and help a complete stranger.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

All the more reason for me to help.

[electrowhipit]

Well, if you never need anything, look me up, okay?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I certainly will. Thank you. [She smiles.] And good luck with your garden. I really do need to tend to my own soon.

[electrowhipit]

Thanks. It's... the going's a lot easier when I'm this size, in any case.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Yes, I imagine it would be a much more difficult task in your own body.

[electrowhipit]

Thank Primus for small favors, I guess.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

[Not a clue what Primus is, but she understands the sentiment.]

Well, I best be home and make sure my 'husband' hasn't pushed forward with any acts of war.

[electrowhipit]

... I'm sorry, acts of war? War over what?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Over being here. He declared war on Mayfield the other day.
