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.))

When the being surfaced, he perked an eyebrow. He'd...certainly never been called Ratchet before. They were like night and day. The guy was just probably just spaced out. His hand was extended, offering to pull the stranger out.


"Ratchet? Nah, I'm nothin' like the Doc. Just hold on, I'll get ya out."

The movement of one of the two large metal structures on either side of her beneath the metal sheets is not only surprising, but unsettling. Letting out a gasp, Annie presses her warm back up against the metal side of the one structure that had not shifted. Little does she know she's leaning against the inner leg of a robotic alien life form.

Listening to the voices filtering through the gaps between the metal above, Annie cannot understand the language they are speaking. She could say something, and probably should lest the metal come crashing down on her in the shifts, but...she cannot bring herself to try. She has no idea who or what is outside her junk cavern, and she isn't certain if she wants to find out. Perhaps they would lose interest and she could worm her way out later once they had moved on....

The Red Rust is leaking from Drift's optics: his vision's a bit...not so good right now. But it does seep in, just before he touches the proffered hand, that this wasn't Ratchet. Or anyone he recognized from Delphi.

"Stay back!" Drift scrambles back, trying to clear space between them. And stops, feeling something warm against his leg. Warmth that, you know, wasn't his oozing rusting systems.

He blinks, squinting down at the figure. Human? There weren't any humans on Messatine that he'd heard of. "K-konnichiwa?"
wheeljackofalltrades: (easy there)

Wheeljack took a step back, holding his hands up in his own defense as Drift flailed about. First off, you look terrible, man. That rust is pretty dangerous...

"Easy there, buddy. I'm an Autobot. Unless ya got a thing against Autobots, we shouldn't have a problem."

His eyes trailed along Drift's line of sight towards his leg, perking an eyebrow.

"Somethin else down there?"

/derp! Please poke me next time I leave a tag waiting this long!

Unable to see any figures herself through the slight openings above, she hears the drastic change in language for one word, but still does not comprehend it. Tensing slightly, she pulls away from the metal at her back and shifts to her hands and knees to move herself backwards further away from the light between the metal sheets while staying close to the metal structure.

Gingerly, she tries to crawl over the rather strange surface below her to keep as quiet as she can, but the junk beneath her rustles under her weight.

Well, frag, that didn't work.

"We have a problem," Drift says, "two, really."

His range of movement is limited--the last thing he wants to do is damage the thing that looks like a human with a clumsy movement. But at the same time, he doesn't want to expose Wheeljack to this.

"You need to get away. And yes. I'm...not alone in here."

That came out sounding weird.

He tries cycling through several Earth languages. Maybe one will work. "Guten Tag. Bonjour. Hello. Anyonghaseyo."

Well Wheeljack leaving is out of the question. He had a thing about leaving comrades behind, so he's just going to grab Drift by the arm and attempt to pull him up. Kill two birds with one stone if he can get his aft off whoever else was down there.

"Well it's not happenin', buddy. Now...let's see who else is down here..."
