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.))

"I'm not sure how your Megatron rose to power, but I'm not in the habit of underestimating a mech who managed to inspire and rouse a significant part of the population to his cause. Charisma and power doesn't make anyone smart, but unfortunately Megatron isn't stupid either." He shook his helm, accepting Dinobot's anger with an even shrug.

Foolishness or not, his word had carried meaning and power not just because a charismatic and powerful mech had spoken them, but because they were partly true.

"Idiocy or not, tens of thousands... millions have died, planets have fallen..." Another shake of his helm. He wasn't sure this would lead anywhere, or why he tried to understand, or at least come up with an angle that might lend some light upon the warlord's actions.
