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!))

Whirl bc HE CAN

"Awesome. BOW BEFORE ME, insect."

Whirl loves break rooms. Except this one needs to be a little more, you know, broken.
whirlybird_of_prey: (this is my sincere face)

[personal profile] whirlybird_of_prey 2012-08-10 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
"URGH SHUT UP." Not 'scream'. Bow. What were they, stupid?

"You are the worst minions. Ever. Of all time."
bloodsporter: (No empathy to slow you down)

Overlord BECAUSE WHY NOT

[personal profile] bloodsporter 2012-08-10 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
"You rang?"

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

[personal profile] whirlybird_of_prey 2012-08-10 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
"They're my insects. Get your own."

Deathwish? Whirl?
bloodsporter: (To get your way by any means)

oh no whirl

[personal profile] bloodsporter 2012-08-10 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
It probably isn't in Whirl's best interest to get Overlord's attention, but here he is. Too bad for the Wrecker he's pretty much the first thing he's run into that's been worth pulling apart.

His lips twist into a grin.

"I didn't a claim written on them."
whirlybird_of_prey: (are you talking to me?)

[personal profile] whirlybird_of_prey 2012-08-10 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
That's your first mistake: Whirl doesn't have best interests.

"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.

You know what? Overlord's really not going to take that bait. He adjusts his grip on that axe, tossing it up to move his hand down to a more swing-worthy position.

"Did you? You know what is the best way to settle ownership disputes?"
whirlybird_of_prey: (are you talking to me?)

[personal profile] whirlybird_of_prey 2012-08-10 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah it was a long-shot. Still, a mech can dream.

"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.
bloodsporter: (How can you forsake)

[personal profile] bloodsporter 2012-08-10 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Good point. As dramatic as Overlord liked things and as much as he enjoyed basking in the suspense, he also particularly enjoyed violence. A lot.

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.

Yeeeees

[personal profile] winged_knight 2012-08-10 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Wing leans way down and squints at the name tag. It's really more for melodramatic effect than necessity really.]

Tim! Well met. Do you know anything about building bars? What do we need?
winged_knight: (smile: looking down)

[personal profile] winged_knight 2012-08-10 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
We certainly can! [Sometimes, quite a lot.]

[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?
not_halfbaked: (it's kind of a funny story)

Korra titled his head at the newcomer. "They're not our robot overlords...well, not all of them. I mean, there are way larger ones that sorta seem like the overlords, but they've been nice so far." Korra shook her head, and walked closer to the register while she head her potted tomato plant.

"So, where'd you guys come from?"
not_halfbaked: (thank you)

[personal profile] not_halfbaked 2012-08-17 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, those places are new to me." Korra shrugged. "Been getting a lot of those."

Korra began to show her arm and its Mark of Megatronus Prime. "So, what kinda mark do you have?"
not_halfbaked: (flat what)

woah the Glyph is supposed to glow?

[personal profile] not_halfbaked 2012-08-24 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Uh..."

Korra was checking her arm now.
not_halfbaked: (flat what)

[personal profile] not_halfbaked 2012-08-24 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
(OOC: Oh, thanks, sorry I forgot that.)

"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.
