Nexus. Black Dog and environs. Lost fire.

young deep blue and lighter blue G1 Seeker femme: *kersplat*

Cureall: *blinkblink* You okay?

femme: *sits up a bit dizzily and frowns around with puzzled crimson optics* This isn't the dream....

Cureall: *tries to help the Seeker up* No, it is not a dream.

femme: *rises to her feet, looking around and going :\. Her face might look somewhat familiar* Not a dream. The dream. My home.

Cureall: *head tilt* Your home?

femme: Yes. Where my father rules. *frowning more deeply* It's a nexus.

Cureall: *nods* Yes, it is a very big one. This one lives here.

femme: *looks down at her* I was talking about the dream.

Cureall: Oh! *very confused* This is a nexus as well though.

femme: Ohhhh. *head tilt* Is there a bar here called the Black Dog?

Cureall: *nodsnods* Yes. It's that way. This one goes there sometimes, not as often as Sludge but sometimes. *points in the general direction*

femme: *looks* Will you show me?

Cureall: Sure! *she offers her hand to the bigger femme.* Can you walk okay?

femme: *startled by the hand offer, but declines politely as she rises to her feet with Seeker grace* Yes, I'm not hurt.

Cureall: *nods and begins walking towards the bar* This one is called Cureall.

femme: My name is Stormfire. *walking by the older and smaller femme, her optics showing the wonder of the very young despite her poise and self possession*

Cureall: *smiles brightly* That's a lovely name. This is your first time out this way?

Stormfire: I was named for my mech creator. And yes. This is my first time outside the dream since my family was exiled to Earth.

Cureall: Exiled? *she frowns worriedly* Who are your creators?

Stormfire: A female Starscream, and a mech named Skyfire. I don't live with them anymore.

Cureall: *seems kind of happy about who Stormfire's parents are* Oh? Because you are old enough to be on your own?

Stormfire: No. Their sparks are in the Stockade.

Cureall: *eeps* Oh no! why?

Stormfire: Because that Starscream and my older brother's middle son tried to assassinate the Autobot Prime. *blinks as Deherree walks past*

Cureall: *trying her best not to sound horrified, but she is.* W-why did they do that?

Stormfire: *face blank and a small bit angry* I don't know. I guess they got bored.

Cureall: *lowers her head* This one is sorry.

Stormfire: *bit of Starscreamish impatience as she shrugs* I never knew that Starscream anyway, and I never met my brother's son. I miss Skyfire, but my father and my older brother make sure I have what I need.

Cureall: You... aren't lonely?

Stormfire: I live with my father, and I am one of his triad. *slight bit of pride in that last fact*

Cureall: *smiles slightly* That is good.

Stormfire: Starfire's the other. *happy, it's apparent that both 'father' and Starfire are important people in her world*

Cureall: It is good to be with the ones you love. *watches a few space whales fly over* Who is your father then?

Stormfire: *also watching the whales* The Starscream of the dream.

Cureall: It is good then. *back to walking.* Almost there.

Stormfire: *curious look at her* You like Starscream?

Cureall: Some that this one has met, they have been tolerable. And being with yours makes you happy, so it must be good, yes?

Stormfire: I don't know. *looks ahead and sees the Black Dog sign. Winces at the garishness* Rather... bright.

Cureall: *soft laugh* It catches one's attention. *tilts her head* Will you be alright now?

Stormfire: You have somewhere to be? *scanning the bots by the door to see if she knows anyone there*

Cureall: Not really, other than home with her sparkling. *smiles* Do you want this one to stay?

Stormfire: Maybe. This is a bar, and I'm less than a year old. I don't know if that will factor into my being allowed inside alone.

Cureall: *laughs again* Then this one will be your escort.

Stormfire: Thank you. *steps inside and continues to look around*

handsome purple and rose Seeker: *lifts his head from where he's sitting at a table by the door* Stormfire?

Stormfire: *turns quickly and brightens* Skyhunter!

Skyhunter: *drops creds on the table and comes over to put his hands on the young femme's shoulders* What are you doing here?

Stormfire: I think I fell out of the dream.

Skyhunter: Then I'd better bring you back. Starscream will be worried stupid if he finds you're gone.

Stormfire: *looks down at Cureall* This is my older brother's first son, Skyhunter.

Cureall: *gives a polite bow* This one is called Cureall, she is pleased to meet you.

Skyhunter: *bows back, a strong dose of Skyfire in his actions and voice* Thanks for taking care of my aunt.

Cureall: It was no big trouble. This one is glad to help. *she gives them both a big smile* If you ever need a place to stay, this one lives in a castle not far away.

Skyhunter: *smiles, and it's Fireflight's smile* The place with the Dinobots in the yard?

Cureall: *giggles* Yes. *looks a little* Is Fireflight your mother?

Skyhunter: *nods* Yes, she is.

Stormfire: *impatient fidgeting*

Cureall: *laughs again* Your Aunt is ready to go. Please be careful, both of you.

Skyhunter: *affectionate look for the young one, and then puts his hand on her shoulder again* Thank you again, Cureall. Maybe we'll meet again.

Cureall: *bows* Be safe, both of you.

Skyhunter: God bless! *PINpoints self and young aunt home*
