[Open -- Communal] Science! Slumber! Party!

Who: Liege Maximo and ALL THE PEOPLE
What: Following the 'Second Wave,' Liege has collected a number of living (and dead) Monster samples to be studied. He has sent out the call: all scientists/medics or otherwise capable persons are welcome to attend his laboratory conference to look over the critters and find out what can be found!
When: Now-ish. Liege took a bit to set this up, so all new and old characters can come!
Where: Liege's Temple
Notes:

Bring any characters you want, scientists or not! Anyone who comes (IE posts or threads below) will get some samples of Sharkticons or other monster types to work with, and they will also receive a special LABORATORY KIT from an Acolyte, which features a few simple tools sized to your character so they can do their own experiments in the future!
Your character is welcome to learn the following:

-Monsters have superior strength/stamina to their non-lambda counterparts. (IE a Monster Sharkticon would be more brutal, spikier, and nastier than a standard Sharkticon.)
-Beyond the increased attributes there is no physical difference to their makeup. (IE a Sharkticon is still a Sharkticon, a dragon is still a dragon, DNA, scales, and all.)
-Particularly perceptive individuals may notice a trace of an energy signature on the creatures which matches the 'feel' of the badlands. There may be a link between the two...

Liege won't be able to interact with everyone, so this is your chance to MINGLE with others. Tag around, have fun, spend the night, and enjoy the Maximo's superior wash-racks! If you'd rather just explore the temple, you can do that too.




In the confusing, maze-like depths of Liege's temple, there were hundreds of rooms. Many had been hollowed out from the mountainside, curving inwards in some haphazardly specific pattern as if seeking out the greatest potential for heat. Others jutted out from the side with long, wide windows to let in the light, organized, carefully, for his pursuits. The laboratories, of course, were among these.

The many, many laboratories were among these.

He'd needed them all, of course. In the beginning, there had just been one, and one had been nice for allowing him to perform one type of experiment. He'd had a second built when Solus had given him that energon separator, and the third after he'd brought back organics from his first travels into space. After that, it had been somewhat of a collection, and there were laboratories shoved into corners of his temple like extra books shoved onto shelves. He liked it that way. It meant that his brothers and sisters didn't know about them.

Not all of them.

And it meant he could host parties like these on the few occasions when he deigned to socialize. He made sure each accessible laboratory was well-stocked, filled with tools and at least one experiment subject and also populated by an Acolyte to monitor his guests. There would be energon available, and some organic-favored snacks as well, because he had every intention of showing just how well he treated his aligned when he was paying attention to them.

It never hurt to make the others jealous.

He, himself, had work to do in his main laboratory, and for the most part he intended to stay there, drifting out amongst the others only to peruse their findings or to partake in the briefest of breaks. This was what he loved to do, after all...

...but science was useless without others to observe its happenings.

Having the Refugees around again was, in that way, a gift--one that he intended to open slowly, keeping the wrapping safe so he could use it again next time.

And who knew?

Perhaps, here, amongst those who would come, would be a few worth keeping for himself, or offering further incentives toward.

Guess who else was headed inside: this jackass.

Addendum: this jackass covered in scratches, dings, dust, and surliness. He was also dragging along a sleigh behind him, equipped with everything from little silver sleigh bells to a pretty little garland nailed to the back. It was also full of one snarling, spitting, metal animal-type-thing strapped to the sled with what looked like 2 metric tons of what used to be bungee cords but were now effectively a web of knots. Nestled in the back of the sleigh was what looked like a large aquarium full of ... sparkling rainbow jello (???), and the creatures legs, both secured in place with the remains of something that used to be a parachute.

Muttering under his breath, Starscream caught sight of that one robot with the facial hair, and made a face.

"What are you looking at?"

Wreck-Gar gave the whole thing a curious look. He'd seen a lot of strange things, up to and including the Quintesson-created Transorganics, but this was a new one.

"Don't think you found that at Petsmart."

Starscream sneered. "Either you weren't here during the invasion, or your processor is in need of some immediate maintenance."

He gave another tug on the sleigh and the limbless creature snapped at him, making an effort to flop around.

"Don't just stand there, get the back of this sad contraption and help me get it to a room. Who knows, maybe you'll even earn our host's favour."

Wreck-Gar was a little wary of helping strangers, but this spindly jet bot didn't look like anything he couldn't take if there was trouble.

He moved into a position to assist moving the sled. "You load sixteen tons, and this is what you get?"

... Wreck-Gar could TOTALLY take Pscream, gosh

Again, not entirely sure what was being said to him, but unwilling to chase away someone ready to follow his orders lend a hand, and also never one to waste the opportunity to yammer, Starscream just kept on talking.

"I wouldn't have had to load anything if our esteemed host had deigned to pick up this horrid beast himself." He turned around and gave the monster the stink eye. "It used to be in one piece too, but that obviously made transportation difficult. And it grew guns!" Starscream's voice inched closer to hysteria before inching right back down into a more neutral tone of petulance.

"Can you believe that? It actually tried to grow a gun.That shouldn't even be possible!"
idle_time: (Stay tuned!)

"Playsets and accessories should always be sold separately," Wreck-Gar agreed. "If you don't talk to your monsters about gun-control, who will?"

He shook his head, looking the creature over. "This creature made possible because of contributions from... who?"

There was that ... incomprehensible nonsense again. Playsets? What? But at least the latter portion of the other guy's babble was tangentially related.

"I didn't talk to it, I simply ripped them off," Starscream said, jerking his thumb back at the monster, and specifically to its shoulder where it looked like something had been dug out... maybe with a very sharp rake. It wasn't hard to figure out what had happened.

Starscream scowled then. "As for who made the beast, well, I would have asked but I was too busy making sure it didn't devour me. As far as I know, this is the only one of its kind here, but with the majority having fled to the 'badlands,' who can really say?"

poor, poor Starscream

"New life, lacking new civilizations?" Wreck-Gar mused. A frown. He only knew of one group of people capable of creating such monstrosities.

"I've got a bad feeling about this."

"If you're talking about us, then yes." Starscream gave another heave, looking a bit ridiculous with his tiny little ankles and impractical feet trying to drag something that was meant to be pulled by at least 2 horses. The sleigh bells jingled away merrily.

"It's convenient don't you think, that on an empty planet like this we find a handful of self-titled gods all residing in these huge temples full of scores of unclaimed, similarly empty rooms. Have you seen the caves?"
idle_time: (Use the force Luke!)

Wreck-Gar, fortunately, is a fairly brawny Transfomer, and so his assistance is aiding things significantly.

"Yes," he agreed, "that's awfully con-VEEEN-ient." The last word was stretched out. "I've yet to boldly go there."
my_own_trope: (I'm pretty sure the universe hates me)

[personal profile] my_own_trope 2012-08-17 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Starscream gave him a funny look.

"Right. Er. I don't think I ever got your name..."
idle_time: (Googly-eyes)

[personal profile] idle_time 2012-08-18 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Wreck-Gar either didn't notice it or ignored the look.

"The name's Wreck-Gar," he said.
