ORION OPEN LOG 2: NOW WITH DUDE
Who: Orion Pax and YOU
Where: Around the city.
When: Late March, basically whenever.
What: Having recent discovered that he has a holomatter avatar, Orion is now roaming the city like someone's confused dad.
Warnings: shrrruuuuggot. perhaps gay.
Exploring the city would have been a lot easier had Orion known how to do this earlier, but he supposes there is no point regretting wasted time now. Unlocking his holomatter avatar has given him a pleasant alternative to sitting in a parking lot and boredly zoning out into a haze of stress and confusion, and so he is happy to use this human shaped form to explore all the places he hasn't been able to previously.
While he technically does look like a middle aged man (who is not Charlie Swan), everywhere he goes he is followed by a constant air of curious bafflement, like a parent is when going to places they don't understand purely for the sake following their kid around. There is a lot of squinting and fondling going on in every one of these options.
A) Various book stores:
The most notable feature of this man's bookstore experience is that he appears to mostly be reading entire books whole while standing in front of shelves - very quickly, at that. The subject matter varies wildly, but he doesn't seem to be at risk of getting bored any time soon, nor do his legs ever appear to get tired.
Perhaps he has yet to catch on to the fact that reading whole books in bookstores is generally considered to be bad etiquette.
B) In which he goes AFK:
And here is that same man, standing in the middle of the street doing nothing. It isn't the busiest of streets, but he sure as fuck is just standing there while the world continues to go on around him, ostensibly while he stares into space and ignores the thread of oncoming vehicles.
This is actually happening because something distracting is happening wherever Orion's actual body is. Perhaps a sudden carjacking. Perhaps animals. It is a mystery.
C) In which Team Magma happens:
Team Magma can frequently be found doing something stupid, and in this case the stupid thing is trying to steal a bunch of lorries from a truck stop for unknown reasons. The rush the parking lot in a group of about twelve. Most of them are firebending.
Orion is just kind of standing around in the parking lot when this happens, not fully realizing what's going on until there are like a dozen costumed people throwing fire around aimlessly and yelling things about being TEAM MAGMA. Even after a moment of letting it sink in his expression is still more incredulous than anything.
He can not even believe this.

"...Since you were last given my status, I have had...an undesirable encounter with Megatron. However reluctantly, I have found myself inclined to the Autobot's side myself, and Megatron refuses to halt his aggressions towards them."

Another pair of runtimes phones the local police. "We do not wish to force you to make a decision without adequate data. Yet increasing Cybertronian presence indicates a higher likelihood of semipermanent or permanent Cybertronian presence. Steps must be taken to ensure the safety of the local populace,"

He is still so fucking disappointed that he was wrong.

"This planet is rich in Energon - the substance which my species requires to survive. It is quite likely there would be reason to remain if only to collect what resources they could."
no subject
"Do they have a method of locating potential Energon deposits?"
no subject
"Yes. Though the off-planet hoarding of Energon only began after the war began, and therefore after my recollection. I am familiar with the theoreticals, though, and I can only assume they would be similar. They have the technology required to scan for Energon both in its solid crystal form, and also as fuel inside of other robotic life."

"...I do not believe I am broadcasting one, presently. But. They have been made aware, yes."
He hopes they can't track him, anyway.

"Uh..."
He blinks, and then almost in way of distraction, he glances around to make sure no one is looking at him and deactivates his avatar form. Truck time it is, then.
"I assume not," he adds a few moments later, over the comm link.
