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.))

Raf, for his part, thought he was still asleep. A very uncomfortable sleep, but when he stared up at the sky and saw that white streak, he just stared before reaching for his glasses...

Before realizing they were already on him. That was odd, he didn't sleep with his glasses, and what was he feeling-

Blinking, he turned his head to the side, looking at what his hand had picked up. Some sort of... spongy plant? That was definitely not something he recognized. Making a face, he sat up, adjusting his glasses as he did. Dizzy, he felt even more confused as he took a look around.

...this had to be a dream. Dreams...felt real while you were in them, right? So the whole feel of stuff digging in to his pants was completely normal, the air that seemed just a little too hard to breathe was normal, the whole...everything.

"...hello?"
wheeljackofalltrades: (You don't mean-)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-22 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
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)

[personal profile] deusexraf 2012-06-22 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
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.)
wheeljackofalltrades: (Jackie being Jackie)

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-22 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[Blurr was (unsurprisingly) running like a mad bot, trying to get out of the pile as soon as possible. And He nearly ran Raff over because, Primus, aren't you a tiny thing.

Thankfully, he noticed the kid and manages to stop in time. Sadly, the pile under his wheels crumbled down due to the sudden movement movement and Blurr pretty much landed on his faceplate.

So much for a good impression.]
deusexraf: (// ooOOoooOOOooOOo)

[personal profile] deusexraf 2012-06-22 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[stopping or not, that blur heading right for him has Raf yelping and trying to run out of the way.

if it's any consolation, Blurr - he trips as well, through not quite so awkwardly as the other mech's. he does turn around in time to catch it, but skitters back a bit more - better safer than sorry, right?

raceme: (Shy - uhm)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-06-22 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Wise move kid. And it's fine, he's used to this. Blurr picks himself up quickly, staring at the creature in front of him.

It's little, like a human. It looks squishy, like a human. And it's staring at him like he's some sort of monster, like humans do.]

Whatareyoudoinghere?

[It doesn't matter that Blurr is not exactly sure where 'here' is at the moment. He doesn't sound hostile, just curious and a bit wary. His encounters with humans so far were less than stellar, who knows if this one will try to control him too or something.]
deusexraf: (// flatfooted)

[personal profile] deusexraf 2012-06-22 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[give him a second to parse that, Blurr - he speaks digital code, not speech that would put Speedy Gonzales' feet to shame.

blink.

blink.

I'm not really sure?

[at least he seems friendly! and is that an Autobot symbol Raf spies?]

Are you with the Autobots?
raceme: (MULTIPASSSS)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-06-22 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Blurr can put to shame Speedy Gonzales, he's like that.

Oh so you know the autobots, good.]

Thatscorrect! I am Agent Blurr member of the Elite Guard a intelligence gathering body that exists within the Autobot fraction. [He pulls out what looks to be like a mini screen, showing his logo and badge. He's so happy he still have it on him.]

It's my job to tell teh council that the Decepticons are preparing to launch an attack on Cybertron as well as help the to find the double agent on Earth that is currently in Cybertron and hopes to overthrow it UN-FOR-TU-NA-TE-LY- I was caught off guard by Shockwave who was using the disguise of Logarm prime to infiltrate our ranks and he...he...[He puts the badge away and looks worried.] ...the last thing I remember was him trapping me between two moving walls in the corridors of the base and I swear I didn't make it soImreallyconfusedashowIarrivedhereandwhathappenedbecauseIreallythoughtmysparkwasextinguished.

[Enjoy that cascade of BLAH, Raf. Long story short: he's one of the good guys and he got (nearly) killed.]
deusexraf: (// ot3)

gah! missed this

. . .

Raf only understood about half of that.

Wait, isn't Optimus the only Prime? There's a double-agent?
raceme: (What about NO)

It's okay, no rush~

[personal profile] raceme 2012-06-22 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[/le sigh

That's fine, Blurr's used to repeat himself.]

No, of course he's not the only one there's Sentinel Prime Rodimus Prime Longarm Prime ...ah...perhaps Longarm Prime is no more. The last time I saw sir Optimus Prime was right before I got transwarped with Thundercracker and the cowardly clone of Starscream, Skywarp is his name I be-li-e-ve, and now it's of extreme urgency that I find Ultra Magnus to tell him about the spy Shockwave.

Tell me do you have a place to hide or something like that is dangerous for you to be out alone.
deusexraf: (// screwed huh)

[personal profile] deusexraf 2012-06-23 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
He said- well, the other Autobots never mentioned those names. [Raf is awfully confused now. transwarped - that has to be spacebridging. clones, though...]

I have a few friends here. They're not that far. Ratchet, and Wheeljack...

4_toteachus: (are you sure?)

[personal profile] 4_toteachus 2012-06-23 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Fear was all of Four's being now. All around him were completely unfamiliar things, with an unfamiliar sky, and... just an unfamiliar feel to it. Worst, Four had yet to find his twin, or any of his family. Where were they? Where was he? If his location hadn't been enough to drive him to curl up in a corner somewhere, he wasn't exactly alone here. Titanic metal monsters were stomping around, and they only narrowly missed him a couple of times because he took advantage of his small size and dodged out of sight.

More important than that... there were humans. Living ones. Breathing ones. Four was not distrustful by nature, but he was cautious. He kept that in mind as he spied a human child as he was scuttling from one cover to the next. It was a terrifying feeling to be torn between his instinct to survive, and his desire to inspect and catalogue everything he came across. On the one hand, this human could be dangerous, on the other... he was a human.

Humans died off years ago, Four knew because he had seen it, and he remembered it so well. Their bodies littered the streets, and Four had plenty of time to examine them at his own leisure. He wanted to run up to the child and check to see FOR SURE that he was actually there. The world Four lived in was dead and barren, no life existed there, not even plants. To finally see life with his very own optics? This was a gift he never would have imagined for himself, if only Three were here.

He hid behind a chunk of metal, watching everything this human did, and trying not to draw any attention to himself.
deusexraf: (// oblivious focus)

[personal profile] deusexraf 2012-06-24 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
The human seemed quite oblivious to the fact he was being watched. At the moment, he seemed awfully excited over the fact that he had found a device - gingerly pulling it out of the debris, dusting it off, and-

"I can't believe it! My laptop, here!"

There was his login and everything, and- from what he could tell, all the files were current. The battery was only about half, but the fact that it was here at all was astounding. Especially no worse for the wear.

It was practically in better condition than he was.
4_toteachus: (terrible...)

[personal profile] 4_toteachus 2012-06-26 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
The sight of the unfamiliar technology definitely sparked Four's curiosity, if it hadn't been on full alert before now. How strange... he had never seen anything like that before.

Curiosity finally triumphed over caution, and Four crept closer, trying to stay out of sight, but trying to keep Raf in sight at the same time. When he was a mere five feet away, he finally stopped, tiny optics peering at the child over a chunk of metal. His eyes flicker and click, sounding much like a camera shutter. If Raf were to notice it and glance over to the right a bit, he may be able to spot his little spy.
deusexraf: (// flatfooted)

[personal profile] deusexraf 2012-06-27 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
At first, Raf wasn't aware of his observer; then, a faint clicking caught his attention. He looked up, grabbing hold of his laptop protectively; if it was a bigger mech on the way, he wanted to be able to run if it turned out they were a Decepticon. But he didn't see one in...

...sight.

That was an awfully small mech. His start of surprise was aborted for simply peering at the little figure.

"Uh...hi?"
4_toteachus: (pic#1015161)

[personal profile] 4_toteachus 2012-06-28 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
Four instantly vanished the moment he was spoken too, as if alarmed that the words alone might hurt him. After a minute or so, he slowly peeked out at him again, his optics clicking some more. Having this human here wasn't right at all, nothing here felt right. Still, this human looked harmless, and Four was extremely curious.

Slowly he scuttled out from behind the piece of junk he had been hiding behind, and took a few steps in Raf's direction, his body language similar to that of a curious, but wary animal. His eyes click again as he stops out of reach from the human, and balanced on his toes as if this could somehow get him closer... without actually getting any closer.

Curious...
deusexraf: (// examination)

[personal profile] deusexraf 2012-07-07 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Raf started a little bit again as it ran, tightening his grip on his laptop. But it didn't take much to realize that it wasn't - or didn't seem to be - hostile. If anything, it seemed...scared. And when it came back out...

Unless it was hiding a maw of sharp teeth and happened to eat metal, Raf couldn't see any reason to try and scare it.

He carefully lowered the laptop back on his lap, offering what he hoped was a reassuring smile. "Hey there, little guy. I'm not gonna hurt you..."
4_toteachus: (Default)

[personal profile] 4_toteachus 2012-07-07 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Four supposed he could turn around and run off, since he wasn't completely sure what to do. Cautious and wary, he stayed where he was, blinking at the human curiously. He knew enough about humans to know that Raf was quietly telling him that he meant no harm.

So he took a few steps closer, tilting his head side to side as if trying to figure Raf out. Maybe if he got close enough, he could examine the human?
deusexraf: (// i've got this handled really okay)

[personal profile] deusexraf 2012-07-10 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that was a good sign. The little guy wasn't running away, but he still looked nervous. He didn't look Cybertronian, and he'd made no chance to talk - he was like nothing else Raf had seen before.

To say Raf was curious as well was an understatement.

After a moment, he slowly lowered a hand to the ground, palm open. You could climb on him, if you wanted...
