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.))

Optimus nodded slowly, expression gone wry. The mention of Starscream's name only earned a small twitch.

"They would at that. Technically, I was an 'illegal', as Primes and Megatron's were forbidden in the city, no matter the fact that I didn't want to be there in the first place. It seems we have a nasty habit of stirring up trouble."

He snorted, shrugging.

"Starscream is here as well?" Hopefully he would behave, at least as much as he had in Axiom. If this version of the mech was even similar. "How much have you seen from the air? Any other signs of civilization?"

Jetfire cleared his vents in a sharp expulsion at the mention that Primes and Megatron had a "habit" of stirring up trouble. He couldn't quite hide his small smile as he shook his helm.

"Being who you are, it doesn't surprise me someone in charge would attempt to... ah, curb the influence and presence of the type of influential individuals both of you are," Jetfire said with a chuckle. He could understand it, even if they had obviously gone about it in the worst kind of way.

"Ah, yes, mine---Er." Looking away, optics bright, it took Jetfire a moment - technically not long at all, merely a handful of astroseconds - to collect himself. "The Starscream from my reality is, yes." Glancing up towards the sky, Jetfire shrugged.

"I've mostly been flying over all this detrius in an attempt to see who else are present, and while there seems to be something in the way of buildings beyond all of this, I would hazard a guess it's scattered at best." There really didn't seem a lot of it, but there was that truly curious thing with the bright light to the south that Jetfire couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be.

"Hn. Not surprising, no, but very inconvenient to be forced to go undercover in such a manner." He shook his head. "Anything to the south, near that light?"

Optimus gestured out toward the brighter section of sky, even as he slowly raised an optic ridge at Jetfire's brief verbal stumble, curious.

"And I trust this Starscream is...capable of getting along with Autobots?"
angleofscience: (Autobrand - no matter what (you say))

[personal profile] angleofscience 2012-07-08 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Capable of getting along? After a fashion, yes. Jetfire snorted, and then shook his helm, looking in the direction Optimus was gesturing before he replied.

"When it suits and benefits him, yes, along with a few other... more extraordinary situations." Jetfire wasn't about to completely "out" Starscream as it were, but he wouldn't omit all of it either.

"With the right incentive, he can be convinced to work alongside us." Whether that was his own benefit, Jetfire standing right next to him, or Jetfire appealing to... ah, what was left of his better nature... well.

"And there does seem to be something over there, as well as in each cardinal direction." Jetfire nodded towards the bright light and then made a sweeping gesture to indicate the rest of the quadrants around the piles of junk. "It was just somewhat more easy to see that there actually seemed to be something like actual constructed buildings in that direction." The light helped pretty well with that, after all.

Optimus actually chuckled. That sounded rather like the Starscream he had met before - and it was certainly better than the one from his own universe, at least.

"That is good to hear. Now, how would you like to go about this? I may be tied to the ground, but I can check a direction while you check another. Perhaps the Starscream you know can check another, and we can find others."

He cocked his helm questioningly. Optimus has gone through this before - he isn't about to start ordering around others from a different universe, Autobot or not.

Jetfire, however, nodded easily, perfectly at ease to take the suggestion as closer to an order, no matter if it was such a thing or not.

"I should attempt to meet up with Starscream either way soon, so after that, certainly." His flight systems cycled up, slow and lazy more because they had time rather than Jetfire not being able to boot them up quickly, and the roar of the engines picking up speed would disturb the conversation... not that they presumably couldn't switch to comm if needed, but still.

"Getting Starscream to agree might be somewhat tricky, he'll want to explore either way. Call on me if needed," Jetfire said with an easy smile, though the ping along the Autobot frequency... which, apparently, actually was the same across realities... was slightly hesitant as he lifted up in the air.

It was mostly due to the fact that he'd been uncertain whether they'd be sharing said frequency or not, but the other part was lingering faint amazement.

"Of course. You do the same."

Optimus stepped back to allow Jetfire room to go aloft, giving him an easy wave. The functional comm system was a pleasant surprise, but he noted down Jetfire's frequency and continued on his way.

It wouldn't be easy to travel, given the lack of roads and piles of unstable junk, but he would manage.
