Definitely make it a series with the Matrix and it's shenanigans! And can we get a scenario or situation where we see what it says to comfort Oppy?

Matrix comforting Optimus? How could I ever refuse such a lovely request?

Musings of the Matrix

The Matrix is sentient and has watched for millennia. It has some opinions and ways of going about things, including how it takes care of its Prime.

Comforting a Prime

The Matrix loves its Prime and who gladly fight to protect him. Its Prime is perfect, the chosen meant to restore the frame of their maker. But where the Matrix is stoic and ever focused on their mission, Optimus gets distracted, he feels, he suffers, he experiences joy. It is this that makes Optimus so perfect as a leader. He can understand his people and offer them compassion where previous steward Primes only stood with distain etched onto their faces. But it is also this emotional capability that can lead Optimus to fall to his mortal emotions.

The Matrix must keep its Prime focused and active. It will do what it must to help its perfect Prime move forward.

In the beginning its Prime was always so very angry. Optimus hated the war, he hated what Megatron had become, and he hated the fall of their world above all else. It was good in the Matrix's sight that its Prime's anger was directed at the woes of their reality instead of the petty conflicts that its previous wielders spent their time brooding over. Even still, Optimus's anger needed to be controlled. Too much wrath would lead to mistakes, and mistakes to failure.

As such whenever Optimus's anger grew too great, the Matrix did what it could to return Optimus to rationality. However there were some instances where even the power the Matrix held was nearly overshadowed by righteous fury. One such instance was after the battle of Tyger Pax where their pure one, the sparkling, lost his voice to impure one. That day both the Matrix and Optimus momentarily lost control in favor of wrath.

Optimus: He will not touch Bumblebee ever again...

The Matrix: No, the impure one will never touch our charge again so long as we function.

Optimus: He must be punished for this!

The Matrix: Direct your anger, know him for what he is. He has proven unworthy. He must die.

Optimus: No... I can't do that.

The Matrix: You can and you will vessel. The impure one poisons our maker, he scars the shell of our god, and he kills the fellow creations of Primus. Does this not anger you?

Optimus: ... He was a good mech once.

The Matrix: Once. He was pure once. He may have even made a good steward Prime, but no longer. We know this, you know this. He must die.

After that day the Matrix knew that Megatron needed to die. It usually was against needless bloodshed, but in this instance, the Matrix saw fit to comfort its Prime with the reality. The Matrix took responsibility from its Prime. It knew that Optimus wouldn't raise his blade against Megatron with the intent to kill, so the Matrix whispered. It told its Prime what was right and when it came time to fight, the Matrix dulled Optimus's awareness and took partial control. It knew its Prime wouldn't fight, but it most certainly would. So when needed, Optimus kept their frame moving and the Matrix directed their strikes and made sure to constantly assure its Prime that it was the one fighting to kill, not Optimus.

Optimus: I almost killed him. I almost-

The Matrix: We almost killed him. You did nothing vessel.

Optimus: But it was my frame.

The Matrix: And we took control of it from you. We are guilty, you are pure. Do not concern yourself vessel.

The Matrix's whispered words of comfort meant little to its Prime, and more often than not its Prime still took everything personally. Optimus was a Prime that should have come during a time of peace, he would have been great. But he was chosen during a time of war, and for that, the Matrix often lamented.

Of course it was not just anger which the Matrix did its best to comfort its Prime when Optimus experienced it. Optimus's sorrows were just as powerful and often required far more of the Matrix's efforts to tend to. It couldn't allow its Prime to fall to trauma or fully embrace the horrors of war, so it was forced to do all it could to suppress such emotions.

Optimus wept for all the fallen, every lost soldier, every burned city, and every hope extinguished. He was too good, a perfect Prime for a time of peace but too kind for a world of war. The Matrix couldn't allow its Prime's purity to be sullied, so it often took the weight of Optimus's sorrow upon itself. His grief was allowed to be as it pushed Optimus forward, but the emotion was dulled. Lamentation for all that was lost was also allowed to remain as it reminded Optimus what they were fighting for. But the nightmares and the trauma of loss were things the Matrix could not allow to be. Its Prime needed to be strong.

The Matrix: *viewing Optimus's nightmare* Hush now chosen. It is not real.

Optimus: I failed... this is my fault.

The Matrix: *slowly feeding Optimus old memories it had stored away* This was never your fault. This woe would have come to be regardless of what you did.

Optimus: I don't understand.

The Matrix: You don't need to vessel. Rest.

Many a night the Matrix shut down Optimus's nightmares before they could even begin and locked them away, instead feeding Optimus old memories within it from happier times. Its Prime was always left groggy after such incidents, but the Matrix preferred its Prime a little out of it over being depressed. Ratchet also helped in this department, for which the Matrix begrudgingly sometimes allowed its iron grip over its vessel's previous personality to slip as a reward for the medic and as a way to allow its Prime to let go of emotions.

Ratchet: Orion, what happened to you? What happened to my archivist?

The Matrix: *begrudgingly releasing part of its hold over Optimus* Very well healer. Calm our chosen and put him back together, but know he belongs to us.

Optimus: Ratchet...

Ratchet: I'm here Orion, its going to be alright.

Ratchet and the Matrix were not on good terms, but both knew that Optimus needed them and so neither tried to remove the other from Optimus's life. The Prime was so very fragile beneath his armor and the veil the Matrix threw over him. He was so kind, so loving, so very curious and hopeful. He didn't deserve to live during the war of madness, but it was reality, and so the Matrix did all it could to preserve his innocence.

This included eliminating Optimus's fears as much as it could.

It allowed Optimus to feel fear for their people, although it was more of a concern for their future above all else. It allowed Optimus to feel fear for his loved ones, more so for his own sanity than anything else. But it did not let its Prime fear for battle or for war, its Prime couldn't afford to be fearful.

And so when it came time for battle, the Matrix took Optimus's fear and warped it into determination and stoic resolve. Optimus felt no fear, not while the Matrix watched over him. It did this for two reasons, one of which was to keep its soft-spoken bearer from falling to terror at a crucial moment. The second reason was of course to inspire loyalty in the Autobots and fear in the enemy. A Prime who didn't stop, a Prime who didn't hesitate, and a Prime who willingly marched through fire and pain to do what must be done was a symbol of perfection. He was what the Autobots needed and what the Decepticons despised.

Optimus: They have seeker regiments and a field filled with mines. How am I supposed to get through that?

The Matrix: Do not fear vessel. You are blessed, a creation of our god. You will not falter, not when so many need you.

Optimus: I can't falter... can I?

The Matrix: *suppressing Optimus's fear* No, you cannot.

Optimus: I understand. I will do what is required of me.

The Matrix: As you should vessel.

The Matrix kept its Prime moving, its kept its Prime pure, and it ensured its Prime never faltered. This is what it did more than anything else, all for the sake of their people. But there was one thing it did only out of love.

It hated seeing its Prime in pain and agony. It hated watching Optimus suffer for things he should have never endured in the first place. So in those instances where its Prime was in agony, physical or mental, it took on shape and did what it could to give Optimus even the smallest of comforts.

On the battlefield when he lay bleeding out from countless wounds while waiting for medical attention, the Matrix took on the voice of those Optimus loved to push him to his pedes and move him forward. When Optimus could hardly recharge because of aching joints and healing wounds, the Matrix sang using the voices of those it had been carried by in times long past, singing songs from long forgotten days. It wasn't perfect, but it helped its vessel rest easier. And when Optimus wept for his losses and the Matrix could do little to suppress it due to its severity, it instead sent pulses of love through Optimus. It reminded its Prime that it was there, that if nothing else, it would always be there.

It did what it could for its precious Prime. It wasn't sure if it was enough, but it helped and that was at least a small comfort.

I Dream of MegOp

Okay imagine a MegOp story where they're both still at war and on one planet they touch some sort of Macguffin relic that ends up connecting their dreams? (Valveplug)

Like imagine Optimus is in recharge, and starts dreaming of a steamy scenario that just so happens to involve Megatron. That's harmless enough; this war has gone on for a very long time, and he's come to know and even respect a lot of things about the Decepticon leader... so long as it's a dream and he's not actually putting himself or his Autobots at risk, why not let his processor wander and indulge in some fantasy?

Strangely, his processor decides to conjure images of Megatron for multiple nights in a row-- don't get him wrong, it's incredibly lascivious, but it's an admittedly odd coincidence. He decides to forego his nightly rust sticks and hopes a change of diet will help him dream of something else... literally anything else.

... Okay, now this is getting ridiculous. The dreams have been going on for a couple weeks now. Optimus isn't even sure he used to dream so frequently. He tries something different and instead engages the dream Megatron in a fight as they would normally in real life... only for the scenario to morph into something straight out of those erotica he'd secretly read as a guilty pleasure from time to time back in his days as Orion Pax. It was a rush, being so thoroughly dominated and operating on pure, primal instincts like that. He briefly wondered what else he could push his mind to conjure... before stamping down on those fantasies to get ready for his work.

-----

The real Megatron wasn't faring any better. He'd been having dreams about the Prime constantly for so many consecutive days, he seriously considered approaching Soundwave about it. Of course, even though Soundwave is his most trusted and loyal Decepticon, he couldn't bring himself to explain to his subordinate that he's been fantasizing all kinds of lustful scenarios centered around their enemy.

Ultimately he's glad he hadn't said anything, because the dreams have recently gotten very interesting...

It began with a dream about a fight, just like any other... only this time it ended with the Prime pinned beneath him, writhing in ecstasy instead of bleeding out in the dirt. Another saw Optimus giving him the remote to an interface device while the Prime attempted-- with valiant effort, Megatron mused-- to orate some nonsense speech in front of a crowd as the warlord controlled every pulse, vibration, and thrust. In one dream, Megatron sat himself on-- what he assumed to be-- Optimus' desk, demanding the Prime's attention, and Optimus responded by worshipping his whole entire frame at a slow, tender pace. It was blissful, almost like a high...

Now they were engaged in debate, probably somewhere in Vos. Seated around a large table with other representatives from their factions, Megatron enjoys countering the dreamt up banter with legitimate arguments-- he can literally do this in his recharge-- but secretly looks forward to when he and the Prime may slip away into the hall during a recess...

... Which might be coming soon, judging by Optimus' mounting frustration.

"Fine." Huffed the Autobot leader, "We'll table that discussion for now. Why don't we take a quick fuel break?"

Finally. As everyone else scattered, Megatron made his way over to the Prime.

"In an effort to continue this peaceful discourse, we ought to fuel together. Someplace a bit more private than the commissary, perhaps?" said Megatron with a grin.

But something was off. The Prime's shoulders slumped a bit, which was not the enthusiastic response he had become used to.

"What am I even doing?" Optimus let out a long sigh, "Guess that's what I get for trying something different..."

Megatron eyed the weary Prime for a moment. The gripe was obviously rhetorical, but he felt compelled to respond anyway.

"Trying something new is commendable. After all, the Decepticon movement began because we wanted to abolish the old world order. You argue that much has changed since," the warlord looked at the Prime, who met his gaze, "obviously this is true, but you'll find there are certain points we won't budge on, even today."

"I know." The Prime smiled lightly, looking away and out one of the many windows in the conference room. Megatron found himself staring as well-- when was the last time he saw a functioning Vos? He'd forgotten how beautiful the view from the city spires could be.

"Still, it seems that even in my dreams I can't sway your mind."

Megatron barked a laugh at that. "Silly Prime, that's because this is my dream."

"..."

"... Shall we--" but Megatron stopped, taken entirely off-guard by Optimus' perplexed expression.

"What did you say?"

"I was going to suggest we head back to--"

"-- No, not that, you said this was a dream. Your dream."

"I... did." Where was he going with this??

"But... this is my dream." The Prime said, letting out a nervous laugh.

"... No, it is not." Megatron said carefully, but instinctually he knew something was very wrong here.

"I think I would know my own dream!" Said Optimus, "I settled on this scenario and location before falling into recharge!"

"What?"

"These dreams have felt so real! I just wanted to see if I could walk through some hypothetical peace treaty discussions, you know? Make them a bit more useful aside from getting me all hot under the hood!"

"What??"

Basically they both wake up with a start, thinking 'wow that was really weird and specific' or whatever, but next time they dream they learn the truth and they wake up screaming lmao!

[Because this is absolutely the most awkward and therefore most amusing way for two muses to meet: for Milo and Lyle, from Pax]

Send 🌑 to crawl into bed with my muse

They both felt an extra weight suddenly appear next to them, but only Rourke woke up. His time in the military, needing to be ready for an enemy attack at any moment, had made him a light sleeper. Dark brown eyes snapped open, scanning the darkness for any threat, namely the source of the weight. At the same time, his arms tightened around Milo, who was currently using him as a pillow, his head over Rourke's heart.

"Milo." He said softly, shaking him to try and rouse him, "Milo, wake up. We've got company." While not as light a sleeper as Rourke, Milo could still be awakened almost as easily, and his eyes slowly opened.

At that moment, both of them caught sight of another pair of eyes, glittering in the light from the two's crystal pendants.

Now they were both very much awake.

"AAAAHHHHH!!!" Both screamed and jumped out of bed, Milo ducking behind Rourke. While the scholar now knew how th fight and wasn't completely helpless, he also was not the most formidable opponent. The ex-soldier, on the other hand, was, and he took up a defensive stance in front of Milo, holding his crystal out like a flashlight. It had gotten brighter, as if it knew he needed the light.

"Who are you and what do you want?" He demanded, finally finding a person in the light.

Inti Creates announces card-battling RPG Card-en-Ciel for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC

From Gematsu

Inti Creates has announced Card-en-Ciel, a card-battling RPG for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam). A release date was not announced. It will support up to two players.

Get the first details below.

A Card-Battling RPG Through the Eras of Gaming!

Today, March 20, 2024, Inti Creates has announced a new project, Card-en-Ciel, to be shown at this week’s PAX East expo in Boston, Massachusetts from March 21 to 24.

Card-en-Ciel stars Neon, a gaming detective, as he collects and battles with over 300 cards on a deckbuilding RPG adventure. Players will adventure through over 10 different dungeons, earning character cards to strengthen their deck and unlock new techniques to use in ever-expanding roguelite card battles.

Special “Muse Cards” add another layer to the card battles, activating powerful abilities with their songs during battle, with 50 vocal tracks included in-game. Together with the Muses’ song abilities, players will use hidden card “glitches” and even enemies’ attacks against them to perform satisfying, full power combos with their unique decks. Look for more information about Neon’s battles through the eras of gaming coming soon!

Famous Characters Are Invading an In-Development Game?!

Characters from other game universes are showing up in a work in progress! Can the detective Neon find the source?

Card-en-Ciel is a deck-building roguelike featuring over 300 unique cards and 50 vocal songs. Each card features a character from a game within the Card-en-Ciel universe, waiting to be collected and brought back from the game’s dungeons. You’ll need all the help you can get when the virtual world enters “all out war!”

With each victory, you’ll select a card to add to your deck to power it up and create new combos. Each card can be played, used to move during battle, or for a Special Skill, allowing you to make the most of each draw from your deck within Card-en-Ciel‘s deep combat system! Muse Cards add another layer to combat. Meet their conditions during battle, and they’ll sing a unique song that activates a special ability, unlocking new strategies and combos for the rest of your deck! Use these powerful song abilities, hidden card “glitches,” and even your enemies’ attacks against them to perform satisfying, full power combos!

Colorful characters you meet in the dungeons, dungeon bosses, and the “imaginary” games they come from all play a part in Card-en-Ciel‘s story. Collect each game’s heroes and heroines to win the “all-out war!”
