[ All things considered, it's not the first time he's woken up in a strange room, in a strange body, in strange clothes. Not the first time he's woken up next to Harley either.

Still, he doesn't want to disturb her, so he slips out of bed and takes a look around. He pokes his head into the bathroom first before trying the door to get out, which naturally doesn't move. He swears lightly under his breath, using electromagnetism to try and yank the door open. He even tries the same trick on the hinges. Nothing works.

He swears again, colorfully and in Cybertronian. Might as well wake Harley up so she can help with this ]

Hey Harley! Rise and shine. We've got a problem.

Current Mood: annoyed

[ Today Mayfield, there is a blue sedan (with a near-silent electric engine) prowling around town. It doesn't seem to be in any great hurry to get anywhere, and at times it almost seems like it's... nosing through the wreckage of the town in places, with more care than something like that should be capable of.

And if you were to catch a glimpse at just the right angle to see through those tinted windows, you would notice there was no one inside.

Hell, look long enough and it might start to seem like the car is looking back. ]

Current Mood: busy

[ 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

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

[ 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 people say "things" happen every once in a while, are these "things" always so... I don't even know how to describe that. Involved? Difficult? Whatever it was, I hope it's not the norm.

But it looks like I got a little something for my troubles.

[ There's the sound of tearing paper as Jolt rips into the envelope, and quiet for a long, long moment.

Followed by the distinct crackle of electricity that causes a fair amount of static over the line for a second or two. ]

...

Yes!

Current Mood: excited
