Meow (Re)Mix

[namesnotprowl]

WHO: Barricade and you
WHERE: Solus Prime and Alpha Trion's quadrants, and the Junk Pile
WHEN: Backdated and forward-dated a couple days from now
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

[originaldragoon]

Rose was on flying around the Junk Pile when she spotted something hopping about down below. She swooped down and landed on a near by pile and eyed the feline, and wondered if it was another victim of the current strange series of events or if it could be possible prey for her.

Barricade does not know what to think about the fact that there is a dragon here, aside from suddenly missing being on the top of the food chain. He crouches down slightly, flicking his ears back in the best 'please don't eat me' he can manage at the moment. Stupid translator. He meows anyway, eyeing her right back.

Rose made a rumbling noise as she watches the cat, before she tried to speak and let the device around her neck translate.

"Were you something else before you were a cat?"

[namesnotprowl]

Barricade sits for a few moments, trying to figure out how to get the translator in his collar to work. Eventually when he starts meowing, it works.

"Yes. Cybertronian."

His own - normal, huge, deep - voice comes out of the Link's translator. Probably not a voice sized to a cat, really.

[originaldragoon]

Probably seemed just as strange for a feminine voice to be coming from a dragon so big.

Rose nodded. "Then I will not prey on you." It looked like she was going to have to look somewhere else for some food.

[namesnotprowl]

"Sorry." The word is mostly lip-service, though he's starting to sympathize with the plight of the organics here. He's not having the best luck either. Still, no reason to be rude to someone that just decided not to eat you.

"Name's Barricade. Hi." He is a lot more eloquent when he knows how speech works, really.

[originaldragoon]

"I am Rose," she replied back. She stayed back where she was, so as not to tempt herself by going after the now smaller Cybertronian.

[namesnotprowl]

"Good to meet you." He pauses, sniffing, whiskers splaying for a moment. Barricade wants to make sure that he'll know the smell, in case he runs across her again.

"Hope you have better luck hunting."
