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. ]

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.

[electrowhipit]

What? Why?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

For keeping us here I believe. He and his fellow nations seem quick to decide upon war.

[electrowhipit]

... You lost me at "fellow nations". Is he some kind of senator or king or something?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

[She sighs.] He is a country. It seems many of the residents brought here are countries from a world called Earth.

[electrowhipit]

I'm familiar with Earth. I'm familiar with a lot of Earth's countries. But how can a place be a person?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I cannot say, but they insist that they are.

[electrowhipit]

Oh boy. This place is murder on your processor.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

[Again, she didn't quite understand, but she nodded anyway.]

Yes. It is quite a mystery.

[electrowhipit]

[ Sophie needs a lesson in giant alien robot vocabulary ]

Well, I suppose if whoever's running this place can make me a human, why stop there?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

[She really does.]

But I believe they were human before they came here.

[electrowhipit]

I... well, who am I to argue with that? Country-people, why not?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

[She laughs a bit.]

I would suggest against it. They get rather upset if you do. At least Arthur does.
