[ruethepollywog]

[Rue made his way to the deck with flowers and transformed in to a Pony bee which he acquired from the deck he was staying on. He wanted to learn more about this form and he didn't want to try his luck with the other members of the hive.

So, he buzzed about before noticing a bunch of pollen clumped up against his insect legs from the variety of flowers. He didn't know what to do and tried to clean himself off. The King Ant form didn't have to worry about this!

The doll was frantically flying back and forth across the field, until he realized he should calm down and not act so suspicious. Well, what he thought was suspicious for a pony bee.]

Don't be afraid.

[He smiled, his metal face looking friendly and open. He was used to creatures fearing him because of his size and strange robotic body.. though the former didn't really apply here.]

I'm just curious... you're such a large bee. I've never seen one this size.

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

[Now that his surprise was gone, Rue hovered back over. A bit curious himself before speaking.]

Were you created by an Aeon?

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

!!!!

[It talks! While Hound often spoke to organics, he wasn't usually answered]

Er, no, no I wasn't. I was created on Cybertron by Vector Sigma. I am an Autobot... a sentient robot.

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

[He decided probably for the best to change back in to his default form. With a small chime and magical rings surround his body, Rue was back to normal. He knelt down a little to brush pollen off from his legs.]

I see. I thought Aeons were only able to build such a thing.

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

And I thought I've seen everything...

[He's seen his fair share of aliens in his time, but a shapeshifter is pretty rare.]

I can do that, too, actually. I only have one form, though.

[There is a distinct mechanical noise as his armor plating shifts. Within seconds the little green robot has become a little green Jeep. He honks a couple times.]

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

[The doll blinked in surprise at the jeep before slowly starting to circle it. Until Hound honked the horn.]

Ah!

[He wouldn't deny that he did jump a little from the noise. He couldn't help but be reminded of those strange instruments inside Fancy Mel's atelier, where the poppul purrel would play games.]

Well... Its nice to meet you, Sir Autobot. My name is Rue.

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, no you don't need to call me Sir. My name is Hound.

[As Hound talked, a light on his dashboard flashed with each word. He was chuckling a little]

I'm also capable of projecting holograms.

[Have his old friend Spike, a young boy with brown hair, sitting in his seat. It's slightly transparent.]

It comes in handy when you need to fool somebody.

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

If you are sure, s-- Hound.

[Holograms? Just what was that? Some kind of magic?

Rue noticed the boy sitting in the seat of the jeep and gave a gloved wave.]

Hello.

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid he won't respond. I can only make stationary illusions.

[Hound brightens suddenly.]

Would you like to go for a drive?

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see.

[Something similar to Mode Master then... The doll had to tilt his head at the word 'drive'. It sounded something similar to Rod's Pulsar-inferno Typhoon Omega vechile.]

A drive?

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

Yes, a drive!

[He bounces a bit on his wheels. I think that's supposed to be a nod, if a car could nod. He dismisses the illusion on his seat.]

Sit where the illusion was. I can drive you around. In other words, I will move around and you can just enjoy it.

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

Are you sure?

[He moved over to the passenger side, pausing for a confirmation.]

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

I promise, I'm sure.

[He starts his engine, which hums happily.]

Nothing will hurt you.

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

Alright.

[He carefully stepped in to the jeep and took a seat. Rue glanced around for something to hold on to.]

I trust your words, but what can I grasp on to?

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

Well, you could hang onto the door, I suppose. I'll drive slow, I promise.

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

[The doll gives a nod before following the instructions.]

I think I'll be alright, sir.

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

[Hound goes into gear slowly. He doesn't wish to crush the flowers, even if they do regrow rather quickly, so he doesn't go very fast. The pedals, gearshift, and wheel all turn on their own.]

If you'd like to go faster, I'd prefer if we did it on the other decks. I don't like to hurt living things if I can help it.

[He drove towards the strange building in the field.]

What do you think so far?

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

It seems a bit slow, but I don't mind.

[Way slower than Rod's ride.]

Oh, a there's a temple here.

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

I can go a lot faster if you want me to. I also didn't want to scare you.

[Hound takes note of it at well, driving closer.]

I saw it when I came in. I was wondering what its purpose was. Do you have any idea?

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

I understand your hesistation.

[He pauses and glances at the temple again. He didn't have his Arc Edge, so he would need to rely on one of his other forms.]

No, I don't; but it wouldn't hurt to go look inside.

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

Hm. Okay.

He parks outside the entrance. It looks empty from here, but who knows?]

You can climb out and I'll change back so we can go inside.

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

One moment.

[Rue jumped out of the jeep and padded over to the temple doors. He'd go investigate this as Hound transformed.]

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

[Hound returned to his robot mode, and followed the little guy into the temple. He liked Rue. He was curious and innocent.. perhaps they could explore more together.]

Shall we?

[He smiled, and helped Rue opens the doors to the temple. They creaked loudly, echoing throughout the chamber.]

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

What if the---

[He trailed off once the doors opened. It didn't appear to be like the Ghost Temple, that was a relief.]

Let's go in.

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[Hound sounded almost giddy, like an excited child. As he walked in, his filters had to kick in to keep the dust out of his more delicate machinery. The place was choked in the stuff.

The place was largely empty, aside from some benches and an abandoned alter at the far wall.]

I wonder what god this place is supposed to be in tribute to?

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know. I could clear out the dust in here, but you might want to get out of the way.

[The doll transforms in to Wylaf, a giant dragon with dark green scales. Rue was mindful of his wing span and tried to not stir the dust right away.]

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

How many creatures can you turn into, Rue?

[Hound backs up to the entrance to give the doll some room. He's not sure what to be more fascinated with: the temple or Rue. He had never seen a dragon before, except in books. He can't help but scan him quietly.]

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

Several.

[Quite alot actually and with new monsters would give him more forms. Rue started to flap his borrowed dragon wings. Once the dust had piled up in a section of the temple, Rue reverted to his normal form.]

There. It should be easier to navigate now.

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

Quite effective.

[Hound nods his approval, walking back into the building.]

There doesn't seem to be too much here, is there?

[He heads for the alter, hoping to find something of interest.]

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

Perhaps some treasure hunters got here first?

[He suggested as he trailed behind.]

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

I don't know if there are any treasure hunters on the ship, Rue.

[Hound looks over the alter. Like the rest of the building, it's empty, aside from some potted flowers and a weird symbol on the floor.]

I have nothing in my databanks about that strange symbol.

(OOC- http://www.labyrinthbuilder.com/Images/brick_dblspir.jpg )

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know either, it was a guess.

[The doll stepped over and knelt down, swiping a gloved hand over the brick pattern. Thinking back to his previous atelier exploring.]

It doesn't seem to be a switch, but I might be wrong. We might be missing something to be able to use it.

[lilgreenjeep.livejournal.com]

It is an interesting design, isn't it?

[Hound gently picks up a pot of flowers and smiles. He wonders if anyone would mind if he kept it for his room.]

I don't sense anything strange here. It could be that it is just an abandoned temple.

[He sounds a little disappointed]

Oh, well. It's getting rather late anyway. Thank you for your companionship, Rue. We should explore again sometime.

[ruethepollywog.livejournal.com]

Yes. It would appear to be so.

[He gave a nod and got back to his feet.]

You're welcome and thank you as well, Hound.
