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.))

She didn't know if this was sincere flattery, or some of those heavy platitudes Sunstorm uses, or some kind of diversionary tactic. The lack of knowledge annoyed her as much as being judged for her appearance, so it was probably most effective as a diversionary tactic.

Ultimately, she hissed in annoyance. "You want to find out?" Fight she could do. Win? A lot of variables went into that calculation, and she didn't have enough data to know one way or the other.

wheeljackofalltrades: (easy there)

He put his hands up in defense. Hey, if she was asking for it...

"You sayin' you wanna scuffle?"
dontasktrix: (trix dull surprise)

"Did I say that?"

Slipstream took a single step back. "We could have mutual enemies here for all we know. No purpose injuring each other."

"Atta girl." It didn't sound condescending this time, at least. He held out a hand for a slight fist bump. You know what those are, right, Slipstream?

"Whattya say to a truce?"
dontasktrix: (trix hurt you)

Slipstream cocked her head at the offered fist. This, like the shaking of hands, involved getting in melee distance. That gave a bot with bladed weapons some advantage.

She curled her talons, then slowly, cautiously advanced her fist.

"We'll just- take each others' word?"

She bumped, then drew her hand back quickly.
wheeljackofalltrades: (smiiiirk)

The fist bump is well received, and he draws his hand back to reassure her that he's not going to sucker punch or...sucker stab. A smirk draws upon his lips as she states that.

"Don't really got a reason to betray ya.

I gotta admit--and don't take this the wrong way--you're the first Con that's been approachable."

Wheeljack's observation causes Slipstream some hesitation. Truthfully, although she has respectable rank and knowledge, perhaps due to her particular origin, she hasn't been a Decepticon all that long. That she could be doing it poorly, or that universes can be so different each leave her unsettled.

But she needed an excuse. "You're not even from my universe, so it's not like you are part of the Autobot regime there."

And, if she were to target someone, it would be in a fashion that prompted the least resistance or retaliation.
wheeljackofalltrades: (That's not very impressive)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-30 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Wheeljack's already started inspecting the place out, picking up a piece of metal or two to inspect as she talks. Don't worry, he's still listening! He's just very good at multitasking.

"Autobot Regime? That what they're calling it now?"

That was certainly a new one.
