WHAT: A certain fuzzy feline is getting the lay of the land from a much shorter perspective.
WARNINGS: n/a, will update if necessary

Skids - or the thing that had been Skids - had been chasing him around the Junk Pile until something happened that Barricade just couldn't sort out. Not for a while, anyway, until he was able to get a look at himself. Not human, so...

Wait. Fur? Oh scrap.


[The Junk Pile]
First things first is finding some kind of food, and that means sticking around the Junk Pile for a while. So a little black and white cat might be visible, hopping and skittering gingerly along debris, occasionally tripping and yowling in protest. These legs don't work like any he's used to and there's too many of them and he can't get his tail to hold still to counterbalance. Why are there so many limbs.


[Solus's Quadrant]
Eventually he manages to dig out food that isn't in a can and figures out how to eat it. He even tumbles his way ungracefully out of the Junk Pile in his own FirstForged's quadrant. Good enough for him! He trots along through the area, carefully avoiding the hotter spots until he finds the crystal forest on the border. And then... for no reason he can sort out, up one of the trees he goes. Without any idea of how to get out of it.


[Alpha Trion's Quadrant]
One way or another, he extracts himself and continues on, finally having gotten the hang of his limbs and his ears. At least his senses aren't quite so diminished as when Barricade has been human; there was something comfortable about that. Still, even he gets thirsty, and the easiest place to find water is the lake. Once he gets across the quadrants to the lake, he crouches down and dabs a paw into the water cautiously, jerking it out and shaking it with a meow. Okay, that's not so awesome. Maybe there's some easier way to do it...

junk pile party!

[rednotbluethx]

Frenzilla heard the pat-pattering of footsteps first, but kept quiet, laying low. However, when there came a loud mewl right beside him, he finally reacted.

Garbage and junk poured off Frenzilla's head as he sat upright in the hole he'd been digging. A moth-eaten scarf and a pizza bistro banner hung from his head like a wedding veil. The monster turned his eyes on the cat that was Barricade and, instead of immediately diving to eat him, was curiously stopped by sudden recollection.

ain't no party like a Junk Pile party 'cause a Junk Pile party don't stop

Barricade leaps back a ways, stiff-legged, somehow managing to stay on his feet the whole time. That's a... what is that? Is it going to eat him? He meows, hunkering down a little as he approaches, before finally standing to sniff at the creature.

... you smell familiar. "Prrt?" Why do you smell familiar?

hahahah[LOUD GODZILLA NOISES]

[rednotbluethx]

Frenzilla extended his head, meeting almost nose to nose with the tiny cat. Which was probably just a bit bigger than one of his nostrils. He took a good sniff--something deep and probably enough to suck Barricat forward like an airplane's turbine.

Only to snort, and possibly cover Barricade with a little snot instead.

Yup, Frenzilla recognized you. The chirp confirmed it.

[namesnotprowl]

Barricade is not used to so much as using these legs, let alone keeping himself on the ground, but goodness he tries, even managing to stick his claws into the junk. Not that it stops him from getting dragged forward... and then get snotted on. Ewww.

He shakes himself, trying to clear some of it off his fur. After that, he sniffs right back.

He has no idea what you are but you smell like Frenzy. He meows. Did you eat Frenzy? Is that it?

[rednotbluethx]

Frenzilla continued sniffing nose to nose with Barricat, you tiny creature. Finally, he stepped back. He recognized Barricade's scent, even beneath all that fur and flesh and... grossness. Frenzilla responded to the meow with a loud chirp-roar before settling. Tail swishing excitedly.

Haha, wow, bro, what up! Check this out! Frenzilla turned his head and belched atomic fire at a small pile of junk. Cool, huh? So, what can you breathe? Fire? Lava? Scolding hot water?

[namesnotprowl]

You are huge, you lizard... dinosaur... thing. The volume of the chirp-roar makes him flick his ears back - loud. But it does convince him that the thing didn't eat Frenzy. It's acting like Frenzy too much to have just eaten him.

"Mrrt!" Barricade hops back in surprise when Frenzilla breaths fire at the junk. "Cool!" No special breath powers, but he can occasionally manage speech!

In his own voice. Whoops.

[rednotbluethx]

That... That's it? Frenzilla tilted his head. Seriously, that's all you got? He narrowed his eyes. How... disappointing. However, that just means he's more awesome.

But - whoa! You speak! The humans spoke, sure, but... He'd yet to come across an animal that could. Frenzilla raised a hand, claws twitching over Barricat's little body. You mind if he picks you up, bro? He just wants to test something. No, it won't hurt. Remember, he recognizes you, so you should be juuuust fine.

[namesnotprowl]

He has the advantage of being incredibly adorable even if he can't make fire breath. People pet him and give him stuff, awh yeah.

Barricade looks up at said claw, cautious. Well, you haven't tried to eat him yet, so... "Be gentle." Because he will swat the heck out of you when he's back to normal if Frenzy isn't.

[rednotbluethx]

True. And... Well. Don't worry, baby. He'll be real gentle. Give him a minute, though. Frenzilla extends his long, horrifying looking clawed fingers, carefully wrapping them around Barricat's tiny body. Lifts him up gently, face to face. He tilted his head and then started... shaking the kitty. Nothing too hard. But you were making that rattling noise. He gives a small cry and chirp. Make that rattling noise again!

[namesnotprowl]

Well, Frenzilla is being surprisingly gentle... up until the shaking. At which point Barricade yowls in surprise. Oh Primus, what even?! He flails his front legs a bit, tail lashing.
