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 didn't take long before Wheeljack stumbled across the kid, sprawled out upon that scrap pile. Now, he could understand himself being dragged across the galaxy, or wherever this was, but the kid? Didn't humans need...air? Or...other things? How was this child not in need of oxygen?

Whatever, Wheeljack really shouldn't complain, because it's someone he knows. Briefly. Maybe he said hi once.

No matter the reason, he had to speak up to get Raf's attention.

"Hey kid."
deusexraf: (// ot3)

Dream or not, when there was the sound of someone - something tromping closer, Raf's first reaction was to spin around and see who it was. That didn't make him any less surprised, in the end, but it did at least keep him from panicking.

"...Wheeljack?"
wheeljackofalltrades: (Aww don't say it like that)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-22 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
"The one and only."

He knelt down to get a closer look at him, because Primus, Raf, you're tiny. There's plenty of questions he could ask, but he'll start off simple.

"Long time no see."
deusexraf: (// oblivious focus)

[personal profile] deusexraf 2012-06-22 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
And you're big. Bigger than Bumblebee. But at least he's used to others being big, so don't mind him as he (carefully! the ground is a little awkward to move on around here) gets closer.

"Yeah-! Do you have any idea what's going on?"

Because dream or not, this is utterly out of his experience.
wheeljackofalltrades: (Hmmm)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-22 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Wheeljack wasn't the deepest thinker, but he could piece together the best hypothesis he could when asked. He scouts the perimeter for a second, looking up and giving a panoramic scan before looking back down.

"Not a clue. Seems we're on some intergalactic plane. Kinda surprised you're still standin', kid. Didn't think you could survive in environments like this without some kinda equipment."
deusexraf: (// not sure if want)

[personal profile] deusexraf 2012-06-22 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
"I can breathe, so there must be enough of an atmosphere...and gravity's not that different from Earth. Everything else, though..."

He frowns, worry showing through. But at least he has someone he knows, here. And it doesn't hurt that they're more than capable of defending themselves.

(And him.)

He can sense the worry that's on the kid's face, and holds his hand out for the little guy to hop onto.

"Let's see what this gem has to offer, kiddo. Maybe we'll run into Bee."
deusexraf: (// i've got this handled really okay)

[personal profile] deusexraf 2012-06-22 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Raf's no stranger to that gesture. And by now, he's good at climbing on, staying in a crouch to keep his balance.

"I thought I heard some other voices, but I haven't recognized them." And Bee doesn't exactly sound like most, but...the mention has him hopeful.
wheeljackofalltrades: (Don't call me sparky)

Wheeljack's new to taking care of fleshies, so forgive him if he scoops you up too quick, giving a toss to throw you onto his shoulder.

"'s not like we got much to lose. Which direction did ya hear em?"
deusexraf: (// bananaphone)

[personal profile] deusexraf 2012-06-22 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
A little rough, evoking an 'oof!' from Raf, but he's not that fragile. He winces as he gets settled, but this is hardly the sort of terrain Wheeljack can go driving on.

No bruises - not that he can tell, at least. Though something else catches his notice.

"Over to the left...but what's this?"

He taps at Wheeljack's arm. There's some sort of mark on there.
wheeljackofalltrades: (What did you say about my wife?)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-22 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Wheeljack had already started heading in that direction, merely glancing over when Raf tapped his shoulder. That was called 'armor', kid. All the Autobots have it.

Or at least, that would have been his reply, if the glimmer from the sunset didn't flash the symbol bright enough for him to see. He stopped, perking his eyebrow.

"Huh, don't remember asking for decal work."
deusexraf: (// ooOOoooOOOooOOo)

[personal profile] deusexraf 2012-06-22 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
It was way too detailed to be just a scratch. And...colored? Glowing? It wasn't like any of the glowing lines he'd seen on other Cybertronians, either.

Gripping Wheeljack's armor to steady himself, he tried to get a closer look. "It doesn't look like paint..."
wheeljackofalltrades: (That's not very impressive)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-22 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Careful up there, kiddo."

He moved his shoulder to get a better look at it, placing a hand along the symbol as well. Definitely not paint or decals...That was strange. He was positive he'd never put that on.

"I've heard of prison camps branding their prisoners..."
