Tiny Center of Attention

Um, hello there. I'm Limelight, and I sort of glow sometimes. I'm a bit of a new newspark, but I'm very kind.

Is that- are you- ... well. Hah. Not much of a god of nightmares now, huh?

You dare mock me? We will see just how you fare when you need to recharge for the night.

[canorous-limelight]

I apologize. It's just... how did such a terrifying god get stuck in such a tiny little vessel?

[canorous-limelight]

M!A - Godformers for the week! Use your newfound authority wisely.

Limelight was listening to his music in the corner of a room, nodding his head to the beat. Usually, he’d be thinking about what to do sometime later. This time, he just let himself be lost in the music. It was very calm and nice sounding, different than the usual hard music he listens to. As he hummed, there was suddenly static instead of the calm beats. He found this odd, as the music he listened to never ever cut into sudden static like that. Then, there was also another sound overcoming the static, a voice he’s never heard before.

Hello? Can you hear my voice clearly now?

“…Who is this?” This is incredibly weird.

Ah, there we go. Never mind who I am. I just have one simple question: could I possibly just take over your body for a while or so?

…Well. That’s pretty direct.

“Why do you want to, er, take over my body? Will it hurt me in any way?” The two most important things to ask.

No no no! It will be completely painless! You’ll just feel like you’ve fell asleep for a while, that’s all. As for why I want to take over… well, it’s been an incredibly long time since I’ve visited your world. I’ve recently gotten a sudden urge to visit.

“Hmm. Just got one request.”

Alright.

“Could you make nice sounding music play while I- or, you, actually- walk?”

Indeed I can. That’s actually my specialty.

“Nice. Okay, I think I’m good now.”

Great.

Feruer blinked his new optics a few times, trying to adjust his vision. He felt a bit too adorable, noticing how tiny this frame was compared to everyone else. He didn’t mind much, he supposed. Might be nicer to at least be a bit bigger. Oh well, this frame was still fine. He started walking around, listening to the nice music that the little mortal wanted and chuckling to himself. The god of creativity could get used to this.

Everybody's panicking (well, a few still are) and talking about this Soundwave guy kidnapping newsparks or something.

.....

Do I dare ask who Soundwave is....

[canorous-limelight]

Hello! You're one of the older newsparks, right? Never caught your name, though. Anyway, mine's Limelight. Nice to meet you!

Hello, Bumblebee! Nice to see you around.

[neverpipingdown]

Nice to see you too, Limelight! Everything okay on your end?

[canorous-limelight]

Everything's fine, thanks. You're doing pretty good as well, right?

[canorous-limelight]

Hi, little guy! Welcome to Tumblr! I have kind of an odd question for you: why do all the newsparks have single-color abstract designs for their icons? They're all pretty, it just seems odd that you guys all ended up with the same type of icon. Thanks for answering!

Hello, grayface! Thank you for welcoming me.

Our icons… I think they’re called “sparks” or something like that. Yeah, that’s what they’re called. Everybody’s spark is a different color and design, I guess. And yes, they are really pretty. Thanks for the compliment!

Oh, hello there. You’re Wildfire, right? Friends with the quiet one. I keep forgetting his name though…

Anyway, speaking of him, how’s he doing?

[wildfire-spark]

His name’s Radar. They put him in the quiet bunk and now they watch him all the time, but he’s okay. 

Are you the one whose biolights do the weird thing?

[canorous-limelight]

Radar, there we go. It's nice to hear he's doing fine!

And yes, but I don't really see them as "weird." They just seem... normal to me.

....

Now, I haven't been around for too long, but I think something was wrong with one of the doctors.

Not sure if he's okay now, though.
