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.))

There was something to be said about mixed reactions to the return of the Refugees. A lot of things, actually. Surprise, pleasure, trepidation, worry-

Nexus said none of these. Upon arriving at the Junk Heap, he surveyed the scene, glanced up briefly as he caught a brother flying overhead, and decided to take matters in to his own hands. There was another thing to be said about first impressions, too, no?

While his siblings made their own slow pace, he stood still, cupping his hands around his mouth to magnify his shout;

"BAH WEEP GRANAH WEEP NINI BONG!"

Nothing wrong with putting that saying to the test, after all.

Not having strayed far from Drift over the last hour of time, Annie has continued to follow after him and stay close to the bot with whom she had first woken. There were so many others waking up here with them with such apparent differences that her curiosity has started to stir behind her fear and anxiety.

As she continues to climb, the girl hears the booming shout carry across the distance from behind, and she stops in an instant. Holding tight to a solid grip, she twists around to look over her shoulder towards the figure in the distance.

It takes her a long moment of staring rather hard towards the figure before she realizes that her mind is not playing tricks on her while attempting to gauge the distance it stands away. The robots with whom she has already interacted with have been much larger than her, but this one...

Well, there is no comparison she can make except that of a moving building from Gotham.

She had not understood what it shouted, the words yet another language she cannot comprehend, but she watches the huge figure with apprehension. Annie is not certain whether or not it would approach, but she hopes it takes no notice of her.

Unfortunately for Annie, she's the first one Nexus spies. After his call, he scans the area again, ever hopeful that there's at least a few who recognize what's said to be the 'Universal Greeting'...

...well, there's one looking at him, he thinks! They're so small, he can barely tell it's there but yes, it's got all the right pieces from what he can tell...

Nexus raises an arm and waves. Hello, there!
clay_doll: (It's Him)

[personal profile] clay_doll 2012-06-23 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Annie raises her brows as she sees the figure raise an arm and wave while looking in her direction. Blinking, she then looks to each side of herself and around her immediate surroundings. It is difficult to tell with the distance, but it certainly feels as though she is the focus of its attention.

Taking in a sharp gasp of air as she comes to this realization, Annie immediately twists away and scrambles to climb higher. As she pulls herself up, she spots a crevice in the junk, an opening just big enough for her, and immediately she deviates to alter her path towards it. Seconds later and the girl is crawling straight through the opening to disappear out of sight.

That...was not the reaction Nexus had been expecting.

He frowns a little, lowering his arm. Well, at least he was now certain it was someone...but retreating from him? Hiding?

Curious. And there was only one way to find out why - to investigate. But his size was his enemy, here - there was no way he'd be able to get close enough without him being noticed, and if they were afraid, then they'd certainly flee.

On the other hand, if he was somewhere closer to their level...

Judging the distance, Nexus flexed his arm as pieces began to rearrange. A moment later he placed his hand on the ground, twisting his wrist as well as himself...

And abruptly, there were two. The greater one was missing a hand; the smaller, rearranging itself in to a mech-shape, and glancing over itself dutifully. Perhaps not exactly the size of whatever it was, but close enough. And with another twist, Nexus transformed his part into an aerial model, sending it in the other's direction with surprising silence.

[personal profile] clay_doll 2012-06-23 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Unaware of the separation of the hand from the towering figure that became yet another figure itself, Annie has wedged herself down into the depth of the pocket she found there in the side of the junk pile. Drawing her legs up against her chest and wrapping her arms around in front of her shins, she huddles herself down as small as she can manage and strains her senses to listen from inside the shadows.

There are no booming footsteps as she would expect from something of that size, and no further shouting from the voice that had spoken in a foreign language. Very slowly, she begins to ease out of her tight posture, just enough to lift her head and look out through the opening.

No booming footsteps - but there /may/ be a (somewhat quieter) boom of landing as Nexus lands his piece, judging the area close enough to where he saw the figure. It's a bit harder to tell, up close.

"Now...where did you go..."

Unfortunately for Annie, his first language is Cybertronian - and it's what he's speaking now. Softly and to himself, but...
clay_doll: (Cannot Be Good)

[personal profile] clay_doll 2012-06-23 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
The clatter arising from the piece landing against the side of the heap rather close to her position startles Annie into sitting herself upright and dropping her legs away from her chest. Twisting her legs aside, she leans forward onto her hands and attempts to peer out from the opening without moving forward. From her position however, she cannot see the cause of the impact. Biting at her lower lip nervously in a moment of indecision, she tries to steady herself.

Then, slowly, she crawls on her hands and knees to the gap while keeping herself low, and does her best to look around without making herself visible. As she struggles to see anything at all even from there, she hears a voice nearby just barely as it is quite soft. The language is something she heard earlier but not one she can recognize or distinguish from any other. Even so, it gives her an idea as to which way to look.

Chancing it, Annie tentatively leans forward to stick her head out just enough to see with one eye. Spotting the being far closer than she expected, she gasps softly and withdraws backwards. She turns over to scramble backwards with her hands and feet until she gets to the back of the pocket a rather disappointingly short distance away. Out of room to escape, she looks around for some other exit, but finds no other openings. Lowering to kneel with her legs to one side as far back as she can manage, she lifts her hands up close to her face and waits with her whole form tensed enough that she trembles.

Please don't find her!

-he heard that! Nexus turns around, catching just sight of something - no, somebody, the very one he'd seen before! - pulling back in to a hole. Grinning, he takes a step forwards...

...and then pauses. Right. Trying not to be scary. Let's, uh. Let's try coaxing them out, first.

"...bah weep granah?" he tries again. Maybe it's not so universal as it's supposed to be...

It is perhaps, with great irony that Megamind shouts back, "ENGLISH: DO YOU SPEAK IT?"

But he's never really been able to recognize his own personal hypocrisy. It's a personal failing, that big head- and we don't mean the blue one. The metaphorical one. The ego.

nexicpolarity: (. pleased)

[personal profile] nexicpolarity 2012-06-23 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Is that what it's called?"

Sans accent, but is that a trace of humor in it? Nexus can't help but be amused by audacity, but then - it's not as if they know what's going on.

Now, where did that come from...
megamind: (Defiant)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-06-23 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It's coming from the little blue man who is marching down the hill of trash, kicking things out of his way as he goes in his nice, leather books.

"You there! Are you one of the 'autobot' leaders?" He hasn't heard much beyond there's an Autobot army of giant sentient robots. "I demand you release me from your -- war or whatever it is, and send me home! I haven things to do! A city to run!"
nexicpolarity: (. neutral)

[personal profile] nexicpolarity 2012-06-24 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Another organic! One with an attitude.

Well, it's nothing Nexus can't handle. Though he is confused about one thing.

"...What's an Autobot?"
megamind: (Stalking Forward)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-06-24 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"...one of those giant robots-- very much like yourself-- said he was part of the autobot army. You are not a part of the autobot army? Are you the 'other side', maybe? That bad guys?" Megamind peered up at Nexus as he tried to ponder his situation, and what it might mean. Well, then. This was interesting, to say the least.

"How many giant robot factions are there?" he asks. "Either way, I want a leader! Who can send me home. If you're not it, I need whoever it is!"
nexicpolarity: (Default)

[personal profile] nexicpolarity 2012-06-25 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well, he knew of a war between armies going on in a lot of Cybertrons...but there was only one going on here, one thing that would have a 'side'.

"I'm a good guy," he affirms, with a bit of force behind it. "The only 'bad guys' here are the ones trying to take this place apart, and there hasn't been an army yet. You, my little friend, have things all wrong," he continues, moving down in to a kneel so he can get a better look at the organic, "and the leader here won't be able to send you home."
megamind: (Telling You Off)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-06-25 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well, at least the giant robot knows to kneel before Megamind, the incredibly handsome master of villainy and criminal genius! It knew its place, obviously.

Except it was a GOOD robot, and therefore, needed to be subjugated.

"I'm not little, nor your friend," Megamind said with a flourish of his cape. "I an the supervillain Megamind, I rule Metro City with an iron fist, and I am a bad guy! So somebody better send me home before I have to start my reign of terror anew on this... trash heap!"
nexicpolarity: (. pleased)

[personal profile] nexicpolarity 2012-06-25 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
For some moments, Nexus only stared, optics focusing and refocusing as he went over the words in his processor. He was certain he hadn't heard the organic right, and yet...

And yet...

There was one appropriate reaction.

"...heh."

It turned in to two chuckles. And then, Nexus threw his head back and outright laughed, unable to contain his mirth.

"That's a funny joke!- wait, wait, tell me about the reign of terror! Describe it! Don't leave me waiting-!"

This will be great.

Blurr understood the universal greeting.

It was still quite of a shock to heard it SO LOUDLY.

"...grAAAgnah really is how it's spelled sir." He's talking more to himself than anything else, don't mind Blurr.
nexicpolarity: (. pleased)

[personal profile] nexicpolarity 2012-06-23 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Blurr may be talking to himself, but Nexus manages to hear him, looking down at him curiously as he runs by.

"'Graagnah'?" he repeats, trying to match the accent. And that's Cybertronian, if he's not mistaken! Language and mech. "More of an 'aaa', eh, 'bot?"
raceme: (Oh hai)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-06-23 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...oh so he was heard. Ooops. It would be better if he actually stops and answers properly.

"Yes sir the aah needs to sound more nasal while the gh after the vowel will nail the accent if you don't mind me saying so BUT you did a great job so far sir."

He was still intimidating but Blurr smiled up at the much larger mech. "DoyoumindifIaskaquestionsir?"
nexicpolarity: (Default)

[personal profile] nexicpolarity 2012-06-23 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Give Nexus a moment, he's trying that until he gets the hang of it. Or at least enough to satisfy himself until Blurr asks a question!

"By all means!" He's even moving in to a kneel, so he can better get a look at the tiny Cybertronian. They vary in size even more than he and his brothers...! "I'm guessing you have several."
raceme: (Let's solve this with SCIENCE)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-06-23 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Blurr is not in a rush now, no worries. He wouldn't know where to go anyway, this place is so confusing.

This blue mech is even more smaller than the average Cybertronian, they make quite the pair.

"Thanks and yes quite a list of questions the FIRST ones would be who are you and those other giants bots? It was quite the impressive entrance you made I don't believe I ever meet any other mech as big as you all not even Omega supreme and he's really really big then again all looks big to me the NEXT questions would be where I am and how I get back to my world? you see I have some important information to deliver to the Elite guard and the council involving a Decepticon spy infiltrated in our ranks that it's in-fa-ct- Shockwave disguised as Logarm Prime and that's a really really really important information because innocent lives are at a stake"
nexicpolarity: (. pleased)

[personal profile] nexicpolarity 2012-06-23 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Not in a rush? That could have fooled Nexus. Because he'll need a minute to process all that, if you don't mind.

"...you don't waste time, do you?" he muses with a chuckle, rubbing his chin. "All right. First answer - Primus calls us my brothers and I his 'Originals', and, his, ah, 'Firstforged', but I'm not too much for titles - you can call me Nexus Prime. Next answer - we're still trying to figure that out. We don't have control over what brought you here, and the current theory is that until we understand it enough, we're not going to be able to send you back. Not what you wanted to hear, but it's all I've got, 'bot."
raceme: (What is this shit I can't)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-06-23 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Waiting for others to catch up on what he said was always a given, Blurr's a patient bot.

"No sir sorry sir it's an habit." Nexus got a sheepish smile for that question. then Blurr's eyes widened. "F-firstforged from Primus? I'm talking to a god? IcantbelievetalkingtoagodIshouldn'tbetalkingtoagod." Focus Blurr, focus. Not going home is *bad*. "I..uh..but...ah...thankyousir"

Processor broken, please restart.
