Worst Day of My Life

Indie Transformers OC Blog; Justin Valdez, age 10. First time camper at Lucky Duck Summer Camp. Found a flashlight in a cave that turned out to be a multiverse spacebridge, and still deciding what to make of it.

She'll just kick a soccer ball over to him. "Hey! Wanna play?"

He turns just as the ball rolls over and bonks him in the shin. He bent down to pick it up, but upon inspection thought better of it and kicked it back. “Not when there’s geese poop all over, no.” He replied flatly. Justin usually loved soccer, but he was already having sort of a crummy day with a pretty bad poison ivy rash on his neck and shoulder that he couldn’t stop itching. Let’s not add bird poop to the list.

“Oh…right.” How the heck did she miss that mess? “Well we can do something else! Like…um…well anything with less poop.”

"Whatever." He grunted. "I need to go get somethin' for this poison ivy." He fussed and itches at his shoulder like a dog with fleas.

He spotted a puddle of mud below a hose faucet on the side of the park restroom building. The drip grabbed his attention and he knelt down to dab his fingers in the mess. "This worked in Tarzan right?" He sighed and glanced at the girl for confirmation. There weren't much options out here in the middle of nowhere so it was worth a shot.

-notices tiny human and waves a little!-

Justin’s posture went ridgid when the bot waved. “I wasn’t even looking at you!” He spat in alarm. “I was looking at the trampoline behind you!”

Oh man, now what?

“In fact, I was on my way over there now.” He strode right past the green stranger with all the nonchalance he could manage and climbed onto the trampoline. There were wet leaves all over it though, so he busied himself with kicking them off with his sneaker. He honestly did want to talk to the bot, but talking to a mech randomly was just a weird as going up to any other stranger.

He kicked a wet clod of dead leaves right at him in frustration.

“Bleh, that looks…bleh,” he said, watching as a clod hit his pede. Disgusting, yes. Annoyed…not really. “…Did you want some help there?” he asked.

"No, I GOT IT!" The boy grunted as he swung another forceful kick. The slick canvas was now exposed and his wet sneaker skidded.

BOING! He made the most disgruntled face as he fell backward only to bounce back again. It was in that moment that he figured to just give up with the leaves and just jump.

"Bet you wish you were small enough for stuff like this, huh?" He antagonized as he jumped higher and higher with the sloshing leaves.

#no idea where im going with this #i just wanted fluff of jerk kid but.. idk #creative juices are dry

"Do you want this sticker? It's Kermit the frog."

➤♚;; “Not really?”

"Oh. Neither do I. The Muppets are kinda weird. My stepmom likes them though." He stuck it onto a random tree. "Hey, so the leaves tell you if it's gonna rain." He glanced up at them. "Not sure if it's true."

Talking to this girl was hard. Like trying to talk to a babysitter. It just doesn't work.

#VERY INTERESTING CONVERSATION #also hi

"Hello robots. Today at school I got a piece of chewed gum and a Kermit the Frog sticker in my Valentine's box and that's about it. It's ok because I just put dead bugs in everyone else's. And alive ones. It rained on recess so we stayed in and watched Lady and the Tramp and it was BORING except the rat fight scene. Valentine's Day is a pretty dumb holiday. Do you robots do this too?" He hit send on his little communication device that some science nerd bot had given him at some point. It was after school and his parents were once again late picking him up, so he needed to kill some time.

#open #im bored #sorry this oc sucks so much #and is a turd

*rips up grass and sprinkles it around* No sign of robots today. *pulls gum off his sneaker*

"Do you wanna do a scavenger hunt?"

Crosscut’s concentration is torn from his data pad as the tiny voice breaks his peaceful silence. He looks down only to find one of the smaller, lesser developed humans standing at his feet.

The ambassador is here on earth for business, well WAS here on business. Having a meeting with leaders about the construction of Autobot City as a base here on their planet…They weren’t going for it. Honestly he didn’t blame them either.

“Uhh…” He peered around the surrounding area for an older human but found none; himself and his ship were pretty far out there in the woods so this encounter was defiantly odd. The Autobot kelt down to be closer to the organic’s sight level. “I’m sorry? What are you doing out here all by yourself, if i’m not mistaken you’re what they call a ‘child’ correct?”

Justin frowned almost the moment the ambassador started talking. He was speaking all proper like a stuffy nerd. Ugh. “Yes I’m a kid.” He said flatly. “I go to that camp over there” He pointed to a cluster of cabins across the lake. “They sent us on a scavenger hunt so I used that to run away for a while. But, you know, I can’t come back empty handed either! So help me find this stuff.” He tried to quickly make a paper airplaine so he could throw it up at the bot, but he gave up and just threw a crumpled mess at him instead.

my-shovel-your-face

“Camp?” Crosscut glanced over and there was indeed some sort of little set up across the lake. The ‘kid’ as he called himself, went on, something about some kind of hunt. Before the ambassador could speak up and protest a small, crumpled paper was being thrown at him. Rude.

“Look, I really, I uh..” He sighed and uncrumpled the tiny paper to the best of his ability and scanned over its content. Lucky for this tiny savage Crosscut was well versed in over 200 human languages, so reading this wasn’t an issue.

It appeared to be a list of some sort, all written in clever little riddles. He chuckled a bit, kneeling down to hand it back to the small human.

“Well your fist clue ‘I am something which falls from a tree, but im sharp! Don’t step on me!’ is most likely a pinecone, if i’m guessing right. That help? Good, I should be going then.”

“Hold on!” The boy raised a haulting gesture when the bot tried to leave. He bent down to pick up a pine cone. “That’s just one thing. I need all the things!!” He started off sounding like he didn’t care, but was now thinking it actually might be nice to write home saying he had actually been a success at something for once. “After all,” he looked around, trying to formulate a persuasion, “Did uh.. did you know that all the woods around here is actually camp property? So actually right now you’re trespassing!” He pointed at Crosscut accusingly. “THAT’S breaking the law!” He crossed his arms. “If you don’t help me… I’ll tell.”

my-shovel-your-face

He did stop, blinking with shock as the small organic demanded he continue his search. This had gone from almost cute to annoying rather quickly, but he had to understand that other species had different cultures and customs, what might seem INCREDIBLY RUDE to him, might just be a way of bonding to them.

“Listen, I apologize small child but I really do have t-” What? Crosscut’s brow furrowed. “Are, are you trying to blackmail me into helping you with this, this game?” Part of him knew he should be angry or upset by this, but another part had to admit he was a bit impressed if not amused.

“Alright..” The Autobot sighed, its not like he actually had anything to do now. He was planning on simply reading until given a new assignment, but maybe this wouldn’t be all bad. Could be a learning experience. “Though I’ll warn you, I’ve studied it the best I can but i’m still rather new to your planet. I may not be as much help as you would like on this ‘scavenger hunt’.”

"It's not just a game!" The boy snapped, shaking the pine cone at him. "It's more than that! There's a blue ribbon in it for the winner and..!" He stammered, turning his back to the bot for a moment, "I mean, not that I usually care about stupid stuff like that but I.." He bit his lip.

"Never mind! Let's just keep going." He marched off on a huff, "What's the next clue? Gimmie that paper!" He waited until it was within snatching distance. " 'Find me on rocks and bark and such, I grow in clumps soft to the touch.' "

Justin made a face like he wanted to kill that paper by staring it to death. What a stupid challenge. What was the point of this? And what the heck was it even talking about?

#thanks for that establishing para

Dear Dad, Summer camp is still terrible. I can’t stop thinking about the playground thing. Sooner or later that kid will have to get bored of his spot and let the other kids use the lookout tower. There’s not really any kids I wanna play with. It just annoys me that he thinks he’s like the king of us everyday. If he knew I had a portal to bring giant killer robots in the camp then he’d be sorry. Too bad they never wanna help with anything. Maybe tomorrow I’ll just push him off. Send cheese-its but you can leave out the crosswords this time. I don’t like them. - Justin

(( I might pester people on this account for a while since I'm stuck at to a chair with broken foot. ))

"We had to make more stupid friendship bracelets so.. so I thought.." He looks up, only to find the girl called Miko was now a big robot! "Wh-wha...?!! Oh no, this stupid thing!" He started thwacking his multiverse portal-creating flashlight with an open palm. Huge D-batteries rattled in their chamber. "Ohh man!" He whined. "You're not supposed to be a robot!"

➤Ⅱ Miko jumped and turned around at the sound of a voice, startled by his sudden appearance.

“What the– who– oh! Justin!” She stammered, caught off guard. “No– no it’s alright! I-I’m still… me!” She tried explaining, crouching down to be more on his level.

“S-still Miko– see?”

➤Ⅱ Miko giggled at that, relieved he was taking this so well. Most people would probably have freaked out when they saw her like this, but he didn’t. Weird, but not bad. Not bad at all.

“I can change back, if you want.” She offered, sitting down so he wouldn’t have to look up as much to see him.

True it was super odd to see, but by this point the small camper was so used to stumbling upon strange things that he wasn’t really bothered.

“You can change back and forth? How? That’s not fair..” He pouted, but only for a moment until his mind was filled with new questions. “So you turn into a car or a plane now? Do it.”

"We had to make more stupid friendship bracelets so.. so I thought.." He looks up, only to find the girl called Miko was now a big robot! "Wh-wha...?!! Oh no, this stupid thing!" He started thwacking his multiverse portal-creating flashlight with an open palm. Huge D-batteries rattled in their chamber. "Ohh man!" He whined. "You're not supposed to be a robot!"

“S-still Miko– see?”

"Oh.." He pocketed his flashlight and looked her up and down, fidgeting with the poorly-constructed friendship bracelet that was still in his other hand. "I know about growth spurts but this is... is just crazy..heh.." It was a sad attempt at a joke but an attempt nonetheless. A rare occurance.

“I just had probably the best thing EVER happen to me today!”

"If you're an animal robot do you turn into anything? Like a dinosaur?"

There was a squawk of outrage.

“WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?”

“I um.. w-whoa...”

“N-nice birdy-robot...” He back-stepped slowly, his hands raised in defense. TRIPS ON SHOELACE.
