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.))

"And yet both of us have been drawn to this...place."

He couldn't exactly divulge his Maximal status, he wasn't sure if the Autobot was familiar or not.

"I was a special model. The only insignia I bear is this wretched mark."

He showed the larger mech the odd symbol marked on his person.
wheeljackofalltrades: (That's not very impressive)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-22 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ya don't say...I got one of those too."

His shoulder shifted so the Maximal could get a better glimpse at his own mark, embedded right up on his shoulder. It was different than Dinobot's, but it had the same glowing characteristics.
herodecoded: (Just stop right there)

Odd. So the possibility of branding hasn't been ruled out. But what for? The possible answers might be far worse than the Pit.

"So I am not the only one with this accursed brand. Could it be we have been gathered like cattle on this wretch of a planet?"

"Decepticons have been known to keep Prison Camps, but can't really say how they rallied all of us up without any public knowledge, ya know?"

Not that he was a tad insulted by this. He'd just rather it not be a prison. He was notorious for being un-catchable.

[personal profile] herodecoded 2012-06-23 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
He glowered at the mention of Decepticons. This began to sound like another of Megatron's mad grabs for power.

"Such base methods would not be beyond Megatron."

wheeljackofalltrades: (What did you say about my wife?)

"So ya know of ol' Buckethead...

Now I just need to know if you're for or against him."
herodecoded: (Speak and unfold yourself!)

[personal profile] herodecoded 2012-06-25 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Megatron. The very name made his circuits fry.

"I have sworn I would never side with that incompetent fool lest I be thrown into the pit!"
wheeljackofalltrades: (8D)

Wheeljack gave a hearty laugh. Just that one sentence was enough to brighten his mood. A big slap to the back, and Wheeljack held out his hand for a handshake.

Congrats, Dinobot, you're on his good side.

"Any enemy of Megatron's a friend of mine."
herodecoded: (Cut his throat in a church!)

[personal profile] herodecoded 2012-06-26 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, it merely took that much to win the favoritism of this Autobot? How simple of them.

Of course Dinobt still has a little manners to offer a hand in return.

"Enough of the pleasantries, we must seek shelter."
wheeljackofalltrades: (That's not very impressive)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-26 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Not sure how much more you can expect from a warring bunch.

"Uh...why?"

He sees nothing wrong with the current situation.
herodecoded: (Cut his throat in a church!)

[personal profile] herodecoded 2012-06-26 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
This guy comes crazy prepared, Wheeljack.

"We must build fortifications, we must prepare for any possible enemies!"
wheeljackofalltrades: (8D)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-26 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Or.

Alternatively.


"We could just smash anythin' that comes our way. How's that for preparation?"

He comes crazy prepared too. It's just more blunt than Dinobot's schemes.

NOW you're speaking his language, Wheeljack. The Dinobot gets his sword at the ready.

"Just don't get so reckless. Let us make haste."
wheeljackofalltrades: (smiiiirk)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-28 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Now you're talkin'."

He drew his remaining sword, standing up to get a better look around the junkpile.

"So if ya aren't a Con...what are ya?"
herodecoded: (To be or not to be)

[personal profile] herodecoded 2012-06-29 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Good question...if there were no other Maximals, what side did he belong to now?

The only appropriate answer would be...

"I am a warrior for my own side!"
wheeljackofalltrades: (I am not amused)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-30 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure hope you've got supporters...you're a bit on the small side for a freelancer."

It wasn't meant to be condescending. Just stating facts here.
