[ o1 | Action | 1249 Williams Road ]

[ The 20-foot-tall robot who passes for the husband at 1249 Williams Road can be found... lounging in the driveway, of all things- a comic book grasped carefully in too-long fingers. In fact, there's a small stack of comic books sitting next to him. Every once and a while he'll chuckle to himself as he's reading.

Eventually, he discards the comic, having finished it, and gingerly picks up the next one from the pile. ]

[ o2 | Action | The Highway/Around Town ]

[ It's been far too long since Jolt went for a drive just to enjoy himself, so today a blue Chevrolet Volt can be found cruising the highway. His maximum speed in vehicle mode is only about 100mph, but he hits it and stays there for most of his drive.

Occasionally, he swings into the parking lot of the abandoned gas station, doing a few donuts and whooping in excitement before peeling out again.

He can be found heading through town at a far safer pace after his drive is done. He's covered in dust, but there's no mistaking the fact that this is not a car usually found in the 1950's. ]

Current Mood: geeky

[ November is drawing to a close, and your local Autobot is in a grim mood. He's been keeping himself busy as a distraction, but it's not doing much to help.

Even so, he can be found doing one of three things:

A. Doing yardwork! He can be found in the front yard at 1249 Williams Road, raking leaves, tending to the garden. You might even catch him dragging a trashcan to the curb, the contents of which smell a bit like Thanksgiving dinner.

B. He seems to have tired of yardwork, and is trying to use electromagnetism on the rake and other various gardening tools- spade and what have you. He floats the tool up in the air and tosses it across the yard, trying to get it to land in a pile of leaves. His aim is improving, but sometimes he misses really, really badly- especially with the rake because it's more wood than metal. You might want to watch your head.

C. Going for a walk. Headed particularly towards Cunningham Lane, but he's taking his time about it. He's also deep in thought, so he's not exactly looking where he's going. ]

Current Mood: gloomy

[ Jolt's been here quite a while, and he's realized he's gotten pretty lazy. Ironhide would have words for him if he knew he'd stopped training- words and maybe a good old-fashioned Ironhide-brand beating.

So Jolt is in his front yard- the driveway mostly- working with his whips. The exercises start out simple- he swings them around a bit, getting warmed up. Then he gets serious, as blue electricity shoots down the weapons. Lighting them up, even in the midday sun.

Before long, he's a blur of alien metal and crackling electricity as his exercise formations get tighter, faster, and more complex. But he's enjoying himself. He might even laugh every once in a while.

So yes, there's quite a little light show going on at 1249 Williams Road. Don't wander too close, because he can't be held responsible for what will happen if you do. ]

Current Mood: busy

I need a medic, a healer- someone. Sideswipe's hurt badly. Legs... aren't supposed to bend that way, are they?

...

If anyone's listening... Come to the bar, as soon as you can. Sideswipe's out front- I... I don't want to move him.

((ooc; Backdated to right after this. Sideswipe will likely be threadhopping if you come to help!

EDIT: Off to work. Tag around with Sideswipe as you see fit!))

Current Mood: distressed

[ When Jolt wakes up in his bed, disoriented and frightened, but whole and safe and very much alive, his first impulse is to call Sideswipe. And he does, only to discover the other Autobot has been droned.

That frightens him more than he cares to admit.

He just curls up in the blankets, barely listening to the phone. Only when Hughes asks for him directly does he snap out of it enough to finally pick up the phone, and softly announce: ]

It's... It's Jolt. I'm here. I'm fine.

I'll be fine.

(( ooc; ))

Current Mood: blank

Hey, I think I-- [ There's a horrid noise, followed by a burst of static over the phone and the line suddenly goes dead. ]

[ Meanwhile, the lights in the living room at 1249 Williams Road can be seen getting brighter, and brighter, and brighter. The TV kicks on and gets louder, and louder. Sparks start pouring out of outlets and lightbulbs begin to burst.

And here comes Jolt, making a mad dash out the front door, covering his head as the porch light erupts in a shower of sparks and broken glass. He carefully takes up position in the middle of the lawn- staying as far from both the house and the power-lines overhead as he can. ]

((ooc; Jolt's regained his ability to absorb electricity from outside sources- only now outside sources are absorbing it from him. All interactions will have to be actionspam since he can't go back inside or get near a phone.))

Current Mood: distressed

[ There's a laugh, though it's a bit strained, a bit forced. ]

I think I've got whiplash from how fast I got yanked from the past into the future. Everyone okay?

... Speaking of whips, these would've been nice to have a couple of weeks ago. [ deadpan: ] Thanks a whole slagging lot, Mayfield.

[ private to Flora | unhackable ]

Uh. Flora? I know we haven't... been officially introduced, but I owe you. You... probably saved my life. I- um. I know you've gone through a lot lately. Are you- is there anything I can do for you?

[ private to Harley | action, since they're in the same house ]

Harley? You around?

Current Mood: drained

[ One can find Jolt in his yard, surrounded by, and very possibly tangled up in, various strings of Christmas lights. He roots through the mess until he disentangles a strand- and with a careful application of a finger to the appropriate end, the lights flicker to life.

This strand is, perhaps appropriately, bright blue, and Jolt grins. ] Not a bad color, if I do say so myself.

[ He coils up the lights and sets them on the grass, then moves on to the next strand and repeats the process. ]

Current Mood: dorky

[ 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. ]

Current Mood: content

[ Jolt is clearly gearing up to go somewhere. A few extra layers of clothing keep the acidic rain off of him as much as possible, and he's armed himself with, of all things, an extension chord from the garage. It's not his whips, but it's close enough.

And residents of 1249 Williams Road will notice there's a guy on their couch with ice on his knee- that would be poor Sideswipe. ]

Harley? Jeff? ... Kaito? This is my friend, Sideswipe. He's under strict orders not to get off the couch. I need one of you to keep an eye on him for me. There's a note with instructions for him, I shouldn't be gone long, but make sure he does as he's told. If he starts being stubborn, tell him I'll kick his other knee in if he doesn't behave.

[ From what he's heard, there's an actual election going on now, and if the milkman was the cause of all this- if he's the reason his friend can't walk right now- well, then he's going to set things right as best he can. Mayfield has offered a way, and he's going to take advantage of it. ]

Here goes nothing.

((ooc; Bend time as you like and interact with him out on the street or in the house.))
