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.))

"It seems absurd that such a statement would be the most sensible explanation but..." the knight shrugged as if to say, 'what else if there?' "Perhaps we'll find out more the longer we are here."

"Which, I suppose, if the most relevant issue." Not that Wing had a great idea what to do about that.

"The Magnus? Is that one of the tiers of leadership?" Wing had to balk a little, "And he's a xenophobe?"

"I suppose asking around isn't a bad strategy to begin with." She knew there were some others moving around, but not if any were native, or even longer-term visitors.

She nodded. The Magnus was one of the higher ranked Autobots. "Not just him. Can't say all Autobots feel the same, but enough do. Way it is, I doubt some of them even knew Decepticons still existed, much less wanted access to Cybertron."

Megatron probably intended to take Cybertron from the Autobots, but given they had numbers over the Decepticons, and taking the planet would definitely be hypocritical, given Megatron's rhetoric about being the ones wronged, Slipstream thought the better strategy would be to share their homeworld. Not that she mentioned this to her faction, but it truly seemed to most efficient strategy to her.

"I agree. We definitely need more information. Doing more scouting and then sharing our findings is likely a good idea. Should we keep moving? Strength in numbers or cover more territory individually? Both have merits."

Slipstream's descriptions of the factions in her...universe were strangely fascinating. It seemed like both the start and the path of the war had taken a different turns. The two factions seemed to be the biggest thing the two histories had in common. Was the Cybertronian race predisposed to these lines being drawn in its populace? It was a mildly unsettling thought.

"It sounds as if, even if your faction does not fair well, overall your universe is better off." It's plainly stated with no favoritism. "In my universe the Cybertronian race as a whole is generally unwelcome and even hated by other species because the war spread so liberally and destroyed so much."

Slipstream considered the suggestion, trying her best to weight the pros and cons, as they were. She needed every advantage she could get; allies, not enemies. "Sharing findings only seems wise. And we could cover more territory apart."

She wanted information, but more she wanted to restore her flight function.

"Maybe it's true. But, right now, does it matter what's going on in Universe A or B, when we're in Universe C?"
winged_knight: (smirk: amused)

Of course, the First Forged are likely to arrive before the 2 hours is up.

[personal profile] winged_knight 2012-06-28 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
As Decepticons went, Slipstream was refreshingly equitable. "You're right, the events of Universe A or B do not have bearing on the here and now," he paused, "save trying to prevent Universe C from falling to the same fate."

Wings nods in agreement. "Shall we rendezvous back at these coordinates in two hours time then?" He smiles. "Last chance if you want to see to that thruster."

Little do they know

"Sure." She wasn't all that concerned about 'Universe C', except that she presently was in it. She assumed someone would find a way to leave. They probably just needed some fancy space bridge.

Slipstream returned a slight smile. Teamwork worked so well for Autobots, she may as well give it a try. If it failed, she'd try something else. "Two hours. Don't worry about my thruster."

That was for her to worry, and hopefully solve with proper tools in private.
winged_knight: (smirk: amused)

This was fun! :D

"It's decided then." He nods, happy to have a course direction, however vague, in this uncertain situation.

He started off in the direction he'd been headed originally and left with a nod and a few parting words. "Happy Hunting."
