How long was I out?
Who: Krok, residents of apartment 2-01, Ratchet, other invitees
Where: Building 4 apartment 2-01
When: Backdated to 01 October, mid-morningish.
Summary: Krok finally wakes up from stasis. He feels like death on toast.
Warnings: None as of posting? Clingy robot.
Wakefulness comes slowly, in little bits and pieces. Krok is mostly aware first of light – dim and soft even on his scoured-raw optical circuits, mostly blotted out by the curtains. It's hard to tell quite where he is for a few moments and the disorientation makes his fuel pump twist in a weird and painful way. Immediately on the heels of this revelation comes the fact that he can't really move much, body not quite back under his control and stiff from too long spent still. It's several agonisingly long moments before he can turn his head even a little, just enough that he can see a bookcase on the far wall.
One of his bookcases. In his room, in their hab suite in the strange alien city of Saeng Seong. Krok sighs and sags back into the bed, relieved and a little light-headed. He can't quite recall just how he got here when the last he remembers, Spinister asked him out on a walk–
Oh. Memory flickers back in distorted snatches of dialogue and pictures, slowly coming together out of order. They'd put him to sleep, hadn't they? Anxious, he looks around again, then to the door. He remembers the nightmare – remembers it feeling different from all the other times, wrong; he doesn't remember much else. Did he really sleep? Krok blinks dully at the ceiling. He's sure his chronometer readings are off, looking at the date and time, but…
No, it's too hard to think that critically about anything.
"…Spinister?" he croaks, voice harsh and low from lack of use, as he tries to sit up.
By the time Krok leaves messages for both Diarmuid and Kit – the only friends he can think of immediately who might be worried by his abrupt absence, given how consistently they'd spoken just before – he's had some energon and two checkups and even been allowed to walk himself to the living room. Spinister hovered the entire time in case he stumbled or collapsed, so he'd stubbornly carried on all the way to the sofa, his chair just a few steps too far.
He's paying for it now with aching hips and weak knees, but seated and reading, he doesn't much care. The book is more to pass the time than anything because all Krok can do is keep glancing up at the door, vaguely anxious. He rather hopes the little ones accept his invitation; he actually misses them.
All he can do in the meanwhile is wait. And try to plan out his responses if Misfire or Fulcrum pops up to poke him.

He sighs and settles back into the sofa, relaxing a little. It's worrisome that he can't think straight just yet, and that the nightmares will come back, but for now… for now, it's fine.
"I guess that's what I get for coming down sick," he says wryly.

"You remember my story...that was several months ago..." The boy pauses a moment to think about all that has happened. There are several fun things that stick out in his mind and then some not so fun ones. Of course, many of those are more personal and not things Krok would necessarily know full memory or not. However, there is one thing he can ask about.
"Do you remember anything about a man named Zeloph or a group called the Rangar?"
no subject
"Yes," he answers slowly without looking back to Diarmuid just yet. "Yes, I recall… something. It was very strange." Now he looks down and musters a smirk. "So I didn't dream all that, hm?"

"I see," he says, voice flat. A certain phrase from long, long ago rings in the back of his mind. An important phrase. It changed the entire world. You are being deceived. He peers more closely at Diarmuid, head cocked slightly to the left as he wills his brain module to catch up, to start compiling. "Is it true?" he prompts. "What they said – that they've been exiled outside the city. Do you know if it's true?" After all, the little boy seems to know so much of the goings-on in Saeng Seong.

"Zeloph is Rhea's brother so we were able to ask her if what he was saying was true. She said it was. They have even added some information about the Rangar to the letters that are given to new arrivals!"
