OPENING LOG: Awakening

WHO: Everybody!
WHERE: The Junk Pile.
WHEN: Right here, right now.
WHAT: Game opening! Our Heroes find themselves in a strange place not of their own world, however familiar (or not) it may be.




Consciousness is slow, and a struggle to obtain. The moments before darkness are hazy enough; a great vertigo, a twisting, and then, falling. Falling for what seemed like forever. And when you are finally aware of your surroundings, it is most decidedly not where you came from.

Instead, you are now in what appears to be a wasteland. A wasteland...of junk. Debris as far as you can see, heaped in mini-mountains that offer only so good of a view of the world around you. Perhaps in the distance, you can make out some flatter land, perhaps you can just make out what looks like a crevice - but it's difficult at best. The light here is all wrong, the two greatest sources being a white line in the alien sky that doesn't so much give off light as simply have it - and something in the south that glows like a setting sun.

You may or may not notice it at first, but you, too, have something alien - something on your arm, more likely than not. A marking that glows softly, but offers no clue as to how it got there - no pain, no sensitivity. It's simply there, as you are here.

So.

Now what?

((OOC: This is it, you guys! Have a blast! Please remember to keep everything under the first thread for now; we'll be adding the Firstforged in in a little bit...

OKAY There is now a second thread to post in! Feel free to make new threads there to react to the arrival of the Firstforged, or respond directly to the Firstforged themselves.))

Noisy Boy has seen a lot of bots do a lot of things. This is the first time he's ever seen one riding a vehicle. He takes a wary half-step back, though he doesn't move into defensive stance. Instead he simply tilts his head slightly to the side.

Most of what was said by the other bot - fashioned to look like police, though that wasn't an odd look to be given, really - was lost on him. Bailey had switched his language settings to English. Though... he still recognizes it. His creator had used the same language during his original tour in America.

The gesture, on the other hand, is obvious. He raises one forearm as greeting in return.

Interesting reaction. The robot's design looks Japanese, and the writing spells out Noisy Boy. Hm.

Gunmax parks his motorcycle and stands off of his vehicle; he approaches him slowly.

"Noisy Boy," he states, pointing at his chest. "Is that a name?"

He pauses, hesitating. Then he tries again in English. "Is that your name?"
wakizashi_straight: (Noisy)

[personal profile] wakizashi_straight 2012-06-22 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
He's unmoved by the Japanese, unfortunately. It sounds familiar but foreign, a jumble of syllables he can't parse... but knows he can, sometimes.

Frustrating.

The English, though, that he knows. Top Salvo. He nods firmly, once. He knew enough of his own body - from overheard radio broadcasts - to know that much.
engrishdetective: (GURL NO)

[personal profile] engrishdetective 2012-06-22 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
All right, so Japanese in design, but uploaded with English language. Interesting. If they run into McCrane again, he'll have some translating to do.

"My name is Gunmax." Gunmax folds his arms. "Can you talk?"
wakizashi_straight: (Punch)

[personal profile] wakizashi_straight 2012-06-22 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Gunmax. Not a bad name. Better than poor Blac Jac at least. Could lend itself to firearm-related titles.

Noisy Boy shakes his head then, pistons whining slightly in protest of overuse.
engrishdetective: (putting the tsun in dere)

[personal profile] engrishdetective 2012-06-22 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
A shame. But it seems like this robot is intelligent. Super A.I. or something else? Gunmax considers for a moment, then hears it.

"Are you damaged?" Might as well check.
wakizashi_straight: (Ouch)

[personal profile] wakizashi_straight 2012-06-22 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Damaged? Not lately. But Charlie Kenton hadn't been able to get around to finishing repairs. At least everything is attached still.

He gives another shake of his head, tipping his chin down slightly. He doesn't like that they make that noise now, damaged or no.
engrishdetective: (time for some punching)

[personal profile] engrishdetective 2012-06-22 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay. Would you be all right if I checked on your status?"

Not that he disbelieves Noisy Boy, but Gunmax would rather check for a variety of reasons. For one, there's that whole... weird symbol thing going on that Gunmax still doesn't know what to make of. That, and he might as well make sure this bot is completely functional.
wakizashi_straight: (Dangerous)

[personal profile] wakizashi_straight 2012-06-22 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Extra symbol (odd as he finds it) or no, being checked over by other bots is awfully strange. Still, to his knowledge the closest any of them were programmed for lying was feinting in the ring.

After a few moments pause, he nods.
engrishdetective: (WHAT YOU SAY)

[personal profile] engrishdetective 2012-06-22 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay."

The biker approaches a lot more casually, tilting his head as he peers at the brawny robot. The symbol he looks over first; it's different than his own or McCrane's. Which, its meaning still means nothing to him, but he makes note of it.

He also peers at the joints around Noisy Boy's neck. "Doesn't look bad, but it looks like it could use a bit of help." He hesitates. Ah, maybe he should translate. So he tries again in English, "You don't look hurt, but your neck -- it could use extra attention. I can't help you, though. Sorry."

[personal profile] wakizashi_straight 2012-06-22 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Noisy had really only made passing note of the extra symbol glowing on his shoulder plating. He didn't like the alteration to Tak Mashido's design, but there was nothing to be done for it, really. He certainly couldn't.

While he was looked over, he was looking the biker over in return. The police officer gimmick had it's place of course, and maybe even the motorcycle (some kind of pre-bout prop?) but he is awfully slight for a boxer. And no visible vents to dissipate heat. That sort of thing leads to melt-downs, he's heard.

He tips his chin down at the prognosis, less out of embarrassment and more out of acceptance. It's okay. Charlie had complained about it too; it was just something he had to live with, that's all.

Eventually, Gunmax offers a smile. It's unfortunate, but maybe someone around here could get it fixed for the hefty bot in front of him.

"I'm looking for other robots or humans here. Have you seen anyone else?"
wakizashi_straight: (Fans)

[personal profile] wakizashi_straight 2012-06-23 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
He tips his helm in the closest he can get to a smile. For all his injuries means, he's... come to accept them, in a way. He just didn't think he'd be junked this soon.

Robots. Oh, how he's seen them. He nods, then jerks his chin in two different directions. Noisy had left them that-a-way.
engrishdetective: (BUENO)

[personal profile] engrishdetective 2012-06-23 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Thank you, Noisy Boy." A friendly pat is attempted to be given to the larger bot's shoulder. "I'm going to keep exploring. Would you like to come with me?"
wakizashi_straight: (Midas)

[personal profile] wakizashi_straight 2012-06-23 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
He's slightly cautious about others touching him - after his fight with Midas, it was inevitable, really - but the biker hasn't tried to harm him yet. He holds still, offering a nod.

The company of another, friendly bot is hardly unwelcome.

"Good plan. You can try to get on the motorcycle with me if you want. I'll drive slow. Does that sound okay, or do you want to walk, instead?"

Either way, Gunmax can exert some patience over it. Noisy Boy seems like he's on his own, and ... ah, what's the saying? Strength in numbers.
wakizashi_straight: (Spotlight)

[personal profile] wakizashi_straight 2012-06-23 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
He can't say that he's ever ridden a motorcycle in his travels, but. Well, doesn't look too different from any other position he's programmed to sit in.

And as long as he's here, especially alone, he can at least try a few new things. He nods to the bike.
engrishdetective: (got ass fo' days)

[personal profile] engrishdetective 2012-06-23 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Good. Hold onto me if you need to."

Without another word, Gunmax gets back onto his bike, scooting up in his seat a bit to give Noisy Boy enough room if he needs it. Which, with how big he is, he probably will.
wakizashi_straight: (Noisy)

[personal profile] wakizashi_straight 2012-06-23 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
After having been dwarfed several times since coming back online, being the taller and larger is... refreshingly normal. Even if it's somewhat unweildy in this case. He settles on the back of the bike, lifting his feet. He also slips one arm around Gunmax's waist. Just in case.
engrishdetective: (dat bike)

[personal profile] engrishdetective 2012-06-23 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
"There you go. Nice and cozy."

Gently, he revs up the bike's engine as he restarts his motorcycle. Going a bit slower than usual is odd for Gunmax, who is typically in a rush, but he'll keep it to a decent pace for this stranger.

For now, hey, at least they aren't on their own right now.

[personal profile] wakizashi_straight 2012-06-23 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
He appreciates the attempt to keep him calm, certainly. Though he's difficult to ruffle on most days, regardless; and he's not afraid of a little ride. But at least at this pace he can watch the area.

They are still after answers, after all.
