video ;; action | 4TH WALL EVENT

[show_my_cannons]

[So remember how Ironhide had been lost in the wilderness earlier?]

[That's not a problem anymore. Because guess who can suddenly turn into a truck? That's right, this guy. A truck that is currently plowing through trees and bushes and whatever might be in his way. BEEP BEEP MOVE OUT OF THE WAY.]

[As soon as he gets into some clear space, be it a town, or a pathway or anything reasonably clear of tall, cumbersome trees, the truck skids to a halt.]

[And transforms.]

Hah! About time this has happened... Now.

[He rolls shoulders the size of a small family car.]

Let us get on with this. Tracking the girl should be simple. Or... hn. Simpler.

[STOMP STOMP STOMP off goes the giant robot through the town. Whichever town you might happen to be in.]

[Interrupt him? Y/N?]

[And suddenly giant robot goes by? Harry just watches because what.]


.....well that's new.

[adoptivemother]

Is that a pokemon as well?

[Jodie is still new to this.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Hold up. That guy looks... vaguely familiar. The woman, not so much. He halts, and glances back over a massive shoulder to where they stand.]

...

I know you.

[Sort of.]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[Harry glances over at his wife, who shrugs in confusion.]

...

Do you?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He grunts an affirmative, crouching down a little to better peer at them.]

...

You are Heather's parent.

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Yes. I'm her father.

[Indicates the woman next to him.]

And this is her mother. Jodie Mason. She's just here for the day we're guessing.

You know Heather?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Just for the day?

[He ends up sitting on his heels -- as much as he can, given his build, and the state of his joints.]

Yeah. I know her. Met her often, in this place.

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

It's what happened last year. So we're not holding out for things to change.

[He's hoping that will make the grief easier.]

What's your name? Have we talked before?

[He's pretty sure he'd remember talking to a giant robot, but then again he's pretty sure that you aren't a giant robot all the time here.]

[show_my_cannons]

Hn... right. This is always temporary.

[He'd forgotten, after everything that had happened.]

Ironhide. Autobot weapons master. [He shrugs.] I am not... like this. Usually.

This place makes me smaller. Human.

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[He avoids sighing at that.]

It usually is.

[At least this time there's no monster after him.]

Yeah, I've spoken to a few people by now like that. I think one said she was a pony.

[He's given up applying logic to this place.]

2/2

[adoptivemother]

This place is really fascinating.

[She wishes she had her paints.]

Well it's nice to meet a friend of Heather's. However long I'm here.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Fascinating is... one word for it.

[He grunts. There's an awkward sort of pause, in which he sort of... inches a massive, scarred hand froward.]

[You know, to shake fingers or something.]

She is fond of her creators.

[Which means "it's nice to meet you too". In Ironhide speak.]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[Er, well offers out his hand to shake a finger and Jodie does the same.]

Thank you. We're fond of her as well.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He just sort of wiggles the stiff old digits, before pulling his hand back.]

Should be proud. Brave one, that child.

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[Harry smiles and while Jodie nods as well, he's more aware exactly how much they have to be proud of.]

She is and believe me, we are very proud of her.

Even if she does get embarrassed when I tell her that.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah... she seems the type to react that way.
