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's reaction causes Ratchet to calm slightly, as ... maybe this is normal for the bot? It's an odd thing to think, but given that the arms are in extremely good condition, save for the fact that they have no joints, that's the only assumption Ratchet can make at this point.

"Your hands and fingers. When did they get fused like this? How do you function without the ability to hold things?"

This bot is just... full of awkward health issues.

it's okay! No worries!

So many questions, and no way to really answer them. But at least the other bot has calmed down enough to ask them and not panic. It's an improvement. Even if he can't explain... hrm. That could be something. Noisy Boy ducks his head for a moment, before turning his head slightly and nodding towards his back.

His diagnostic screen is wedged between his back air vents. If Ratchet gets it - and doesn't break the folding glass screen - he could at least access Noisy Boy's fight move list and current vital statistics.
docbot: (strange as what I believe)

Ratchet cocks his head at the strange movement, then notices the glint of a screen.

"Huh... Shogun Trinity, Shockfist, Gravity Slam ... I'm not sure what these all mean?"

It's very strange, all of this. He steps back and gets to thinking. Human designs on him, no vocalizer, no ability to hold things and a list of strange names flickering from a glass plate on the back of his neck. Put that together and... what do you get? Honestly, the first thing that comes to Ratchet is the fighting games that Raf sometimes plays, the ones with the little pocket monster things that only learn four attacks at a time and come in a confusing array of shapes and colours.

"Are you ... were you built by humans to play games?"

It's a throwaway question at most, one more inspired by his utter lack of serious ones than by any true belief that this is the case (because how barbaric would that be, to create a sentient being to fight for your pleasure?)

The names he recognizes, though they aren't quite loud enough to set off his audio controls. None of the fuzzing out of other audio inputs, the narrowing focus. Just a pleasing reminder of better times.

Shogun Trinity is still his favorite.

Though his Pain Revolutions are a close second. Good finishing moves.

The question he doesn't gauge as rhetorical or ridiculous in any way, simply assuming that this bot finally gets it. He finally understands. He nods sharply several times, pistons groaning pleasedly. Yes, to play games. The game, rather, the only one that mattered... to Noisy Boy, at least.
