WHO: Megatronus & the Badlands volunteers
WHERE: At the edge of Haven, then onwards to the center of the Badlands offshoot.
WHEN: Sunday/Monday
WHAT: Now that they have their assault team, it's time to put an end to the recent influx of monsters.
WARNINGS: Violence against robotic centipedes.

( Taking the refugees for their walkies )

WHO: Starscream and Jetfire
WHERE: The washrack/energon pools under Solus' temple.
WHEN: Around now~
WHAT: Cleaning up after killing some monsters! Simple.
WARNINGS: None

( Just wasting some time. )

WHO: Jetfire, Liege Maximo
WHERE: A solar system a fair distance away from Cybertron. YAY.
WHEN: Around now.
WHAT: Jetfire's been stuck IN SPACE for a week due to the modifications Liege outfitted him with to break the barrier the Lambda creates around Cybertron so he could take readings of the Lambda. Said "in space" was a solar system too far away to quickly get back, but Jetfire's been working on it, okay? he might need a lift, though.
WARNINGS: None.

A week ago;
It had been absolutely amazing and gratifying to finally be able to break near-orbit and get beyond the barrier the Lambda created. Jetfire was aware of the dangers, though not all of the things that might happen from approaching what was basically not just the origin of, but like the Badlands magnified.

It was a bad idea, it wasn't safe, it wasn't fair to... particular people to put himself at risk. However...

They needed more data on the Lamdba, and Jetfire was made to reach escape velocity, to break gravity and go into space. What happened, though, wasn't any effect from the Lambda. Instead, approaching the pulsing, unpleasantly lit space-time anomaly on a wide vector just shortly after breaking through and getting beyond the limit he had been able to reach before, navigational and positional equipment suddenly disagreed on where he was, plus something else and...

He wasn't sure what happened, but suddenly he was just... elsewhere.

( And pretend I'm a spaceman. )

WHO: Jetfire angleofscience and Starscream aerospacecommander
WHERE: Jetfire's room in Liege's temple
WHEN: Slightly forward dated to late tomorrow
WHAT: Trying to avoid doing something foolish during the Calling's effects, Jetfire locks both himself and Starscream in his room. Arguments due to the negative (emotional) effects of the Call ensues.
WARNINGS: None, I think.

( but you should know I'm not saying all that I mean. )

WHO: Jetfire, Wing, Starscream and Blurr
WHERE: Gokai Galleon
WHEN: After Jetfire's drunk post
WHAT: Drunk shenanigans, terrain explorations, secret boyfriends lurking in the shadows and robots carrying robots.
WARNINGS: None? Will update if needed.

( Trip! )

WHO: Four and everyone
WHERE: Junkpile
WHEN: Today
WHAT: Four searches for his family.
WARNINGS: Sad stitchpunk.
( All I ever wanted )

WHO: DW!Starscream and OPEN
WHERE: All around outside, going from place to place.
WHEN Right after the event starts and he manages to make it out of Megatronus' temple.
WHAT: Giant Starscream.
WARNINGS: ... Giant Starscream?

( he's still not as big as his own ego )

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 dark of the night evil will find you... )

WHO: Anyone! Hosted by Wing, Vectorians especially encouraged.
WHERE: One of the larger upper platforms in Vector Prime's Quadrant.
WHEN: Now
WHAT: Mixer for Vectorians and general social gathering for everyone.
WARNINGS: None yet. (But there's booze so...at the very least there might be bad karaoke)

Upon entering Vector Prime's domain it's obvious that things are a foot. The typically serene atmosphere is enlivened with notes of music and the murmur of voices punctuated by the occasional bubble of laughter that filters down from the upper heights, a soft glow of illuminating one of the larger platforms with a structure built on it. Colorful streamers fly from crystalline light poles, marking the way through the various crystal bridges and small platforms, until one reaches the large terrace on which the gathering is situated.

A large pavilion-like structure, enclosed on two sides but otherwise open to a majestic view of the gorge and beyond, shelters the bulk of the gathering. Its roof is several stories tall, enough to accommodate their First Forged benefactor should he choose to join them, and what could be considered a dance floor sprawls off to the side. The platform edges have been lined with a railing here unlike most of the others, to waylay any highgrade assisted trips into the gorge itself. Along another wall, nearest the open area, speakers and other equipment have been setup to provide music and other entertainment. One of Vector Prime's Acolytes greets newcomers with a simple nod, and may later be seen looking after the replenishent of refreshments as needed.

Tables of typical Cybertronian height line one wall, where tapped cylinders of softly glowing energon, both standard and highgrade, sit alongside cubes waiting to be filled. Various pieces of make-shift seating suitable to the average mech are scattered around. Central to the pavilion is a wide raised platform, about waist height to the average Cybertronian, designed to allow the shorter attendees to converse with their taller robotic fellows at eye level. Human scale ladders allow access to and from the floor, and occupying the platform is a buffet table accompanied by several mis-matched chairs.

The buffet table is covered with an eclectic assortment of refreshments and serving implements more suitable to organics, mostly non-perishable pantry type goods, (you can be certain there's Twinkies!) along with a odd collection of various alcohols including a bottle or two of whiskey. At the end of one table sits an old refrigerator on its back, now tasked with being a simple ice box, filled entirely with chunks of clean snow and ice from Liege Maximo's quadrant. Accompanying it are wax paper cups and a pitcher of fruity syrup that smells reminiscent of Kool-Aid. (make yourself a snow cone!)

The pavilion is attached to a larger building, two doors at the rear of the pavilion each lead to two separate rooms. One that appears to be in use for the storage of unused supplies and materials while the other is filled with makeshift seating of various sizes, creating a more relaxed atmosphere. To the rear there is access to a second floor, the rooms of which appear to be currently unused.

Barricade and Soundwave have agreed to provide musical entertainment for the evening.

Miko may play some guitar for us if we can find a way to power her amp.

Wing will perform a traditional narrative sword kata with some musical accompaniment.

Vector Prime himself may make an appearance at some point as well.

((---This is COMMUNAL log and designed to be a mixer, so post to note your attendance and then tag around!---))

((If you'd like to do a game, performance or other activity feel free to make a post for it and let me know, then I'll highlight it here.))

((I tried to set a foundation for the scene but leave a lot of stuff open, so feel free to embellish where you like. We have access to pretty much anything that's mundane though likely it comes from the Junk Pile. Feel free to have your character bring something if they want.))

WHO: Starscream and whoever wants to bother him.
WHERE: Various places, he's just flying around.
WHEN: Now.
WHAT: Killing things
WARNINGS: ... monster death?

( FIRE )

WHO: Jetfire, Megatronus, anyone else in Megatronus' Quadrant
WHERE: The arena.
WHEN: Around now.
WHAT: Jetfire's waiting for Starscream, and checking out the near surroundings of the temple, he comes upon the arena, which brings up some thoughts about the past. He's a huge white jet hanging in the air, you're welcome to spot him.
WARNINGS: None.

It was strange how easy it'd been to get used to having Starscream close while at the Keep. Closer than before the war, that was. Maybe it was that train of thought that actually made him pay attention to the arena, coming to a stop above it.

It wasn't similar in the least to the arena Starscream had fought in before the war, but these sort of buildings did have a similar design considering their function. Such a simple thing that had laid the base for a war that hadn't just engulfed the (more than one) planet, but the galaxy.

He didn't set down, merely drifted in the air above the arena, and despite the fact that it was empty and no one else was currently around, felt out of place even if he wasn't on the ground in the ring.

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.
