Spark as Heavy as a Cloud

A young Seeker navigating a strange world. Grown by Shockwave from a stolen Spark and being raised in what is still the ruins of Vos by Starscream, he is in a unique position on Cybertron. Heavy hopes for the future rest on his shoulders, but he's more worried about learning to land properly. Is there any hope for him turning out well adjusted?

routine: does my muse have a consistent routine in their lives? do they find it difficult to stick to a routine? doctor: how often does my muse visit the doctor (shockwave?)? do they tend to go routinely, or only when something is wrong? stress: does my muse handle stress well? what is a surefire sign for others to tell that they’ve become stressed? how does stress affect them mentally / physically? 

Routine: Cirrus has a very regular routine, because he is being trained by Starscream, who also has a very routine. Cirrus has morning flight training every day, and rotating schedules that include academic lessons, sparring/combat training, working on the archive restoration, more flight training, and downtime to do his hobbies and homework. Left to his own devices, it would be very difficult for him to stick to a routine, since he tends to hyperfocus and lose track of time

Doctor: Cirrus gets pre-flight checks from medics or from Starscream every day, but besides that he goes to the doctor fairly regularly for checkups. That's usually just a simple scan and plug-in to run diagnostics and update anti-virus programs. His doctor isn't Shockwave, whom he hasn't seen since they first parted. That's probably a good thing, since by his own admission Shockwave might not be able to resist experimenting on him, but he really missed Shockwave and wishes he could go see him.

Stress: Cirrus doesn't handle stress all that well, and often loses sleep due to overthinking things. He wears his Spark on his sleeve, so it's easy to tell when he's stressed. If he's unusually quiet but isn't reading, has droopy or pressed together wings, or seems to be wandering the base aimlessly, that usually means something is bothering him. Sometimes he seeks out friends if he's upset, but other times he doesn't know what's wrong, and he won't go to someone for help until he has words for it, which can sometimes be never. This can leave him feeling lonely on top of whatever else is wrong. Another way to tell he's stressed is if his talons are scratched up, because he wrings and twists his hands when he's nervous or overthinking.

Hey, nerd, long time no see!

Who says I'm nerd? And yeah... I've been busy with my job in the archives, and studying history and all the other stuff Starscream assigned, and also growing my crystals and plants.

Cirrus can be found sitting in the corner at the end of the Mural Hall with his hand pressed on the top of his head and his other arm wrapped around his knees. He hasn't slept and his unread datapad is on the floor beside him. Coming here usually comforts him when he's upset, but he can't shake the feeling something's wrong.

once you're stripped clean, what's at your core?

flightless bird

the thought of your found family is what motivates you in your own little world. you touch the clouds, and the soil gives way under your footprints... this is utopia. if you were to erase one thing, it would be your memory. experience is important, but ignorance is bliss. identity, in heaven, should give way to happiness. you'd give anything just to sit by the swings and eat ice cream, but this isn't that kind of world. you have to get up and wash the dirt off of your scraped knees. i think you have an escapism problem.

Hey you have a human disguise now, you should go see a butterfly garden. We can take you there if you want. They're big greenhouses filled with flowering plants that people grow and raise butterflies in all year round, so it's always warm even in the winter.

That would be amazing! I've only been to Earth once, on the 4th of July, and it was night, and we had to stay hidden in some trees. I think I might have seen a moth but it was so tiny I couldn't tell. Now that I can turn human I can actually see bugs and they won't look like dust!

This little bug has thoroughly stolen my heart.

2025 is a good number, it’s a quarter of the way through the 20 hundreds and it’s got that nice set of 2s separated by only a 0. not bad. whatever happens this year at least it’ll be happening during a good number 😌

and IT'S A SQUARE. IT'S 45 SQUARED. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS IN 1936 (44 squared) AND IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL 2116 (46 squared)

[trix-the-artemis]

It's also equal to the sum of the first 9 cubes!

[vaguely-screaming]

and 45 is 20+25 so it's (20+25)² which is extra cool

((idk if you will ever get up to rping ever again but here's a gift if you ever do! might spice up some rps)) Hey Cirrus! I have a gift for you, I made it myself! Since you enjoyed being a human with us, I made you this piece of jewelry, it's magic! This way you can swap back to your human form whenever you want, and then swap back to a seeker! All you have to do is tap the gem in the middle 3 times.

"Oh wow!" Cirrus wastes no time in wrapping the bracelet around his wrist and tapping the gem. He looks down at his now human body and holds up his hand. "This is awesome! Thank you!" A few more taps change him from human to Seeker and back again as he plays with it, then heads for his room. "I'm gonna look at all my plants up close!"
