[ Jolt is trying his damnedest to remain calm, but every once in a while his voice wavers. He swore to himself he'd never leave an Autobot- a friend- behind. And he has. Two of them, that he knows of for sure. Maybe more. Harley hasn't been home, either. ]

... Over the radio today. That was... that was Sideswipe and Olivier.

They're trapped there. They're trapped, and they're being attacked. Sideswipe sounded injured and--

There's got to be a way back- there has to be. I won't leave them over there like that.

Damn it. Work. Why won't you work.

[ He's also dismantling his radio, trying to see if he can get it to send a message back. ]

Current Mood: distressed

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

So much for sleeping. Coraline, I told you weird things happen here, and I think this is one of them.

Where are all of these people even calling fr-- Wait. Wait. Hello? Are there any Autobots out there? This is Jolt. Sideswipe and I are here. If you can hear me, please respond!

Current Mood: awake

[ 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

I guess that's one way to put out a fire. I can't say I really appreciate being left in the dark, though. [ there's a soft thud in the background ] Ow. Fraggit, who put that table there? I need a... what is it? Portable light thing... oh flashlight. I wonder if we have one...

Um, anyway. Speaking of being in the dark... I keep hearing things about this milkman- which is a ridiculous name, by the way- but I'm only catching bits and pieces. Someone wanna fill the new guy in? It sounds like he's got quite the history.

Oh, and Sideswipe? We need to talk.

Current Mood: curious
