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!))

Sorry. They're just...sort of small. You don't have to....

[He winces at that tone. 'oh, Drift'. Patient, too patient.]


I'm fine. Sort of. Fine enough.

[Not really that fine.]
sword_redemption: (:/)

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2012-08-10 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
...is five going to be enough?

[Absolutely serious.]

[He frowns.] Too time consuming...to protect your home.

Drift.

[She stands, hands on her hips, smiling.]

You're being silly.
vandalization: (PB - Yeah whatever)

[personal profile] vandalization 2012-08-10 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
I could use some food-bearing plants. Like fruit or vegetable stuff.

elkmobile: (to the west)

HOME & GARDEN: seeds, gardening, etc.

[personal profile] elkmobile 2012-08-10 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
A little wagon has been snagged to attach to Yakul's saddle. From here, Ashitaka's just been piling in some gardening tools and materials into the back.

"Thanks, for carrying all this," he muses softly to his elk companion. "At the very least, I can do this for everyone."

Ashitaka pauses and stares down at his hand for a moment, then sighs softly before he hops onto Yakul's back.
sword_redemption: (talking)

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2012-08-10 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
I am not. You need to feel safe here.

[He has the feeling he's doing something wrong.]

[personal profile] must_do_science 2012-08-10 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, so it was more basic building materials than he necessarily needed. But you never, ever turn down free materials.

That being said, Wheeljack can't seem to go more than a few feet before something new catches his eye. Blender? Yup. Garden spades? Grabbed a few. Wiring? Miles of it. Seemingly pointless giant wire hamster balls? Got two.]

[Periodically something will pop into his head and he'll go speeding down the aisles in car mode. Hope people are paying attention!]

[She softens and walks over to lean against his leg and look up at him.]

Drift. You can't protect me from everything, it's really sweet that you want to, believe me. But you don't need to worry so much. Just relax. As long as you're my friend, I do feel safe.

[personal profile] percept 2012-08-10 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't spoken to you since... [ Since his arrival, when Perceptor had been. Cold, to say the least. ]

It's been a while.

[ He rises, awkwardly offering up the bits to Drift. ]

Are you sure you're alright..?

[ He doesn't want to press the issue, but Drift is... well, if he's acting off it's likely Perceptor's fault somehow. ]
sword_redemption: (moonlight)

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2012-08-10 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
I know I can't.

[And believe him he hates that fact. ]

But...I worry.
vandalization: (PB - Yeah whatever)

[personal profile] vandalization 2012-08-10 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Drift. You're really cute sometimes.

Come down here a second.
sword_redemption: (downcast)

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2012-08-10 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [He's afraid to say just about anything; everything feels really fragile right now.]

I'm glad to see you. [It's sincere, and he holds out his palm under Perceptor's to take the small parts, feeling stupid.]

It's nothing. Just a fuel line...uh...thing. From the Red Rust. [He saw Perceptor with Vandal: she'll rat him out sooner or later.]

I believe I saw some... 'tomatoes?' Will those do?
vandalization: (PB - gay robots)

[personal profile] vandalization 2012-08-10 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Tomatoes would be great! And if you find some strawberries tell me. I would kill for strawberries.
percept: (pic#4129538)

[personal profile] percept 2012-08-10 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to see you too, Drift.

[ He hands over the bits carefully, dropping them into Drift's palms. ]

Fuel line thing? [ Perceptor frowns, eying Drift carefully. He can't help but be worried. ] Perhaps you should see a medic...
percept: (pic#4129543)

[personal profile] percept 2012-08-10 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Strawberries are the... smaller red ones, yes? With the little seeds?
sword_redemption: (bad feeling)

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2012-08-10 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[It was something, at any rate.]

I hope you're settling in...?

[Small talk is good, right? If only he knew how to do it.]

Uh. Yeah, it's nothing. Just a side effect from Pharma's cure. It'll pass.
vandalization: (PB - Sass)

[personal profile] vandalization 2012-08-10 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! I'm surprised you knew that off the top of your head.
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.
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?

[personal profile] percept 2012-08-10 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
I've spent time on Earth. While my knowledge cannot be called extensive, I have retained a basic knowledge of the planet.

[personal profile] vandalization 2012-08-10 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
The giant alien robot has been to earth, but I haven't. The irony is killing me.
