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.

"Well... he has been. To me, anyway." The affection isn't missed, though it makes him blink slowly. "Even though he said something about fighting candles." His wings flick.
"Why technically?"
no subject
He seizes on a less troubling topic before he can sour the mood.
"As for the candles," he says, and he doesn't quite sigh or chuckle, but does both at the same time. "I'm not sure why he does it because he's never explained it and I've never asked him, but Spinister seems to have problems with lights sometimes. Unreliable lights more than anything else. He hates when they flicker."
no subject
His weight shifts. The topic change is appreciated, especially when it's to someone he likes.
"I guess it is a little annoying," he admits. "And hard to see. Maybe that's why he doesn't like them."
