ITEM DROP
A weak dawn breaks, the distant star beginning the slow rise that will take it across Cybertron's 32 hour day, offset by the brilliant lamp in Prima's sector.
Even with the minimal light that it exudes, however, it's enough to know that something is different.
Something has happened.
Something smells fresh, and new, and an awful lot like....lumber?

Yes, it's definitely lumber, and those with finer sensors might also detect a hint of freshly pressed metal sheeting next to it. In fact, there seem to be veritable piles of both, gleaming in the morning 'sun.' You can find steel girders, wooden planks, trusses, tools, and what looks like a good half of a bright orange Home Depot with a few, unglyphed employees still wandering around in a daze. There's almost anything you'd need to build any sort of establishment--doors, windows, roof shingles, concrete and duracrete powder in giant, Cybertronian-sized bags...
There's everything, of course, except for paint. Strangely (or not so strangely), that all ended up with Swindle.
Still, this is good luck! There might be a few plants in the home and garden department for the human types, and there's an entire steelyard for the robot types. That doesn't explain the human-sized hamster balls or the entire gingerbread cottage (complete with a very confused old woman), but surely there is something in here you could use? That very unassuming Sailor Moon wand, for instance...nothing could go wrong with that, now could it?
Of course not!
So go forth, dig for treasure, and build to your heart's content...
((So here are the item drop notes!
--Feel free to tag in below with action-spam of your character discovering the new items and trying to take them from each other/sharing them around!
--Your character may find and pick up anything that you'd expect to find in a standard hardware store (of the human OR Cybertronian variety).
--IF your character is claiming the entirety of any one item (EX: I HAVE ALL THE WRENCHES GUYS HAHAHAH) or claiming one of the specialty items (such as the Sailor Moon transformation wand) you MUST post below and say so in the post header. This time around, it is first-come, first snag. Next time, we'll change the process up to give everyone a chance!
--Yes, the Sailor Moon Wand DOES at least put you in the dress, regardless of size or species. That seems to be all it is capable of, though, so no moon prism power for you.
--All of the unglyphed arrivals will spend the first few days acting like normal. The Home Depot employees will either show you around or claim they aren't getting paid enough and leave. The old woman might yell at you to get off her 'lawn,' or, if you're a child, she'll invite you in for tea and cookies and try to bake you in her oven. Strangely, however, after a few days they all simply vanish. Observant folks might notice them heading straight for the badlands. Feel free to capture any that you wish before this though!))

Home Depot NPCs BECAUSE I DAMN WELL CAN
The comment earned Tim a set of dark glare from the other employees who were currently holed up in the remains of their break room. Key word, remains; it had literally been cut in half due to the....whole teleportation.
Thing.
And with only one lone cashier trying vainly to continue to do his job with the registers down, it made for a more than awkward working environment.
Whirl bc HE CAN
Whirl loves break rooms. Except this one needs to be a little more, you know, broken.
no subject
And it just came to his store.
"Sweet."
no subject
"You are the worst minions. Ever. Of all time."
no subject
Apparently, one at least is OK with the idea of being a minion, because Tim's already bending at the waist.
Overlord BECAUSE WHY NOT
What better place to acquire some makeshift 'items of inspiration' than a randomly appearing tool store? Sure, he's quite massive, but apparently it was conveniently sized up. Overlord had already gathered himself up a rather nasty looking fire axe there.
Ah, the confusion on these small creatures' expressions is delightful.
Whirl bc WHIRL
Deathwish? Whirl?
oh no whirl
His lips twist into a grin.
"I didn't a claim written on them."
no subject
"You didn't look hard enough. Get a little closer, because I wrote it real small." And then he can shoot you in the back.
This is a Wrecker plan. Somewhere, Springer is proud.
no subject
"Did you? You know what is the best way to settle ownership disputes?"
no subject
"I have a feeling you're going to try and tell me. Let me get the yawning started."
It might not look it, but Whirl is dropping into a crouch, his velos in his shoulders firing up.
no subject
Sorry, you guys only have one left to fight over. The rest appear to have fled.
no subject
So how do you hunt birds? By first startling them into the air.
The guns in Overlord's stomach flick down and it's only a moment before they fire at the ground at Whirl's feet.
(no subject)
Yeeeees
Tim! Well met. Do you know anything about building bars? What do we need?
no subject
It takes him a moment to realize what the robot's talking about.
"Wait, you guys can drink?" he asks, scratching his head.
"Depends on how you want it," pipes up another worker - 'Rick'. He sounds more resigned than excited. "We talking one with a full service counter, or you just have kegs?"
no subject
[Well hello Rick, have some golden scrutiny so this robot can call you by name too.]
Well, ideally a full service counter. Do you have all the materials for that?
no subject
So he starts listing off parts - building the main counter will be easiest, depending on the aesthetic Mr. Robot's going for, but he'll also need electrical wiring, plumbing, draft setup...
...in short, yes, but it'll take some work.
Re: Home Depot NPCs BECAUSE I DAMN WELL CAN
"So, where'd you guys come from?"
no subject
"Well, I think Anaheim, but I'm originally from Milwaukee..." spoken in the 'for what it's worth' tone. He's trying to be friendly, really. The best way to get through a bad situation is just to get through it, right?
no subject
Korra began to show her arm and its Mark of Megatronus Prime. "So, what kinda mark do you have?"
I'm sorry I'm so slow with these! :(
The cashier looks at Korra's Glyph curiously, tilting his head.
"That's a pretty neat tattoo. Is it glowing?"
woah the Glyph is supposed to glow?
Korra was checking her arm now.
no subject
He leaned back a little, scratching at his hand with a sheepish shrug.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you self-conscious. I've just got a cousin who has a couple of those - maybe it's the ink you used?"
no subject
"No, it's definitely glowing!" Korra stared. Weird. The Avatar State? No way, the rest of her was normal right now.
"No idea what ink the Firstforged use...or Primus...er, I'm still not really clear where the mark came from, just that it's supposed to mark those who aren't...monsters...."
Korra's mind went back to the Invasion. Crazy times.
no subject
You're doing a very good job at bewildering the poor guy, Korra.
"Monsters?"
