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.))
wheeljackofalltrades: (That's not very impressive)

Does this face look impressed? Sorry, Starscream, in his world Megatron's lived through death more times than a cat has nine lives. He fold his arms, an eyebrow merely perking up.

"It's impressive, but ya've got nothin on Megatron."

His head tilts up slightly, as if acknowledging him.

"You got a name, screechy?"
sparkless: (unhappy)

[personal profile] sparkless 2012-06-27 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Megatron? Is this guy serious? How dare an autobot try to tell him that Megatron was better at anything? Especially dying!

"Supporting Megatron? I would think someone of your faction would be eager to put him down - no matter the subject," he hissed. "And the name's Starscream. Obviously."
wheeljackofalltrades: (Blaster to the face)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-28 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Because if it's one thing you want to beat Megatron at, it's dying.

Starscream? That name just brings out sudden feelings. In his fists. It's like Wheeljack didn't even think about it as his fist just punches Starscream for probably no other reason than to just punch him.

It's just a thing you do when you hear that name.

"...Oh. Sorry about that."

He wasn't sorry.
sparkless: (yelling)

[personal profile] sparkless 2012-06-28 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Starscream pitches backwards with a surprised squawk, claws flying to his wounded jaw. It takes him a few seconds, but he eventually recovers enough to start yelling.

"What the frag was that for? Do you want to be torn to scrap?!" This Starscream has the shoulders of a football player and at the moment he is this close to tackling you and committing all of the fouls.

After he realized what had happened, Wheeljack shakes his hand, giving a slight chuckle.

"Sorry 'screamy'. It's just a habit."

Bring it, pinkie. Wheeljack's small, but he can take a hit.
sparkless: (pointing out)

[personal profile] sparkless 2012-06-28 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"You have a habit of punching mechs who tell you their names? You are aware of how ridiculous that sounds, right?"

He's still thinking about walloping you back. It's just weird that you're.... laughing.
wheeljackofalltrades: (smiiiirk)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-28 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Just Starscream. Last time we spoke he locked me up in some kind of containment area, made a pale imposter of me, all sorts'a crazy stuff.

Figured I'd pay him back for the hospitality when I saw him again...guess you're close enough."
sparkless: (i am irritated)

[personal profile] sparkless 2012-06-30 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Sounds like a waste of time to me," Starscream muttered. Crazy schemes like that were best saved for Megatron.

"And how dare you compare me to what is most assuredly an inferior version? If it had been me, you'd want to do more than just punch!"
wheeljackofalltrades: (look who showed up)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-30 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
He held up a hand. Not his fault your otherworldly cousins are girlier. He really believes you on that 'worse' thing too.

"Easy there, pinky. You'll pop a circuit. How about we focus on getting out of this scrap pile before you become a part of it?"
sparkless: (Working the kinks out)

[personal profile] sparkless 2012-06-30 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
That was two autobots in one day now that wanted to help him for some unfathomable reason. How lucky! Perhaps something about this planet made them forget to get all self-righteous and try to arrest him.

Starscream cracked his knuckles, his wings fanning out once in a casual stretch. "I wasn't planning on staying. And please tell me you have some kind of magical 'teleport us back home' powers- because otherwise, I don't see how you could help me."
wheeljackofalltrades: (Jackie being Jackie)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-07-02 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Wheeljack wouldn't hesitate to pound you, but he'd rather get home. Where he can pound the other Starscream.

"Can't say I do, pinkie. But you got those magical things called wings, right? How about puttin' em to good use."
sparkless: (not facing you)

[personal profile] sparkless 2012-07-02 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, obviously. But I don't see how that helps you," Starscream pointed out. Not that he'd planned on helping Wheeljack out in the first place.

"And cut it out with that 'Pinkie' stuff!"
wheeljackofalltrades: (Aw c'mon Doc)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-07-02 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Figured you'd have hightailed it out of here by now. It's what Starscreams do best."

He gave a light chuckle at that last part.

"Sorry, it's just how I tell you all apart now. I know of three."
sparkless: (folded arms)

[personal profile] sparkless 2012-07-02 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Perhaps inferior copies of me. I wouldn't lump me in with them if I were you."

Three? That might have seemed like a lot if Starscream hadn't made five copies of himself recently. Still, its a strange thing to hear.

"Pick something else. Something more becoming of me!" he insisted.
wheeljackofalltrades: (8D)

1/3

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-07-04 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
You...really asked for this, Starscream.

"Heels."
wheeljackofalltrades: (Hmmm)

2/3

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-07-04 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Nah, that's what I call the one from my world."

He gave another thought.

"Screechy. Chinderella."
wheeljackofalltrades: (smiiiirk)

3/3

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-07-04 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
None of those seemed right...

"I'm sure there's a good one for you somewhere."
sparkless: (yelling)

[personal profile] sparkless 2012-07-04 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
...........

"First of all," Starscream began, stomping closer and shoving a finger into Wheeljack's chest. "They're thrusters. Secondly, there's nothing wrong with my voice. And thirdly- "

He stopped, making a face. "Chinderella?! Really?"
wheeljackofalltrades: (8D)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-07-04 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
The reaction only causes Wheeljack to laugh even more, pushed back slightly by the finger prodding into his chestplate.

"I thought that was was pretty creative. But I'm savin' it for the perfect person."

And if Sentinel Prime arrives...
