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!))

[ oh look it's Megamind's mad scientist DIY shop. Sure, it doesn't have a lot of the items he needs, but it has a lot of items he can use to create the things he needs, so he is gleefully jury rigging shit already from semi-functional engines he may in fact be ripping out of lawnmowers and other goods. ]

[ No, he's not sharing. Yes, he'll laser you if you look at his stuff sideways. It's his! HE FOUND IT HE KEEPS IT. And he's got the semi-functional DE-Gun to possibly back that statement up! ]


FINALLY! Grower lights! Ohh, ladders! Yes!

[ Gleefully taking off with the creme de la creme in power tools, yes. And everything else he can start carting off willy nilly. ]

Korra's not looking where she's going, still rather entranced by the new place and clutching her potted tomato plant. She bumps into someone, but managed to keep her plant aloft.

"Hey, watch it!" She instinctively snapped.
megamind: (Brow Quirk)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-08-14 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
And Megamind responds, so very maturely: "You watch it!"

He's got his strapped together carts and he MOVES FOR NO... whatever Korra is. Woman. Bender. Person.

"...what do you think you're going to do with that, anyway?"

Just one tomato plant? Seriously?

Korra looks down at her plant. Looks back to the blue guy. "Um, eat?" She shrugs. "There's more over there--"

And she nods her head vaguely behind her.

"But I'm having trouble finding anything that'll let me carry more than this."

She eyes the guy's cart. "So, where did you find that cart?
megamind: (Derision)

"My Mega-Cart was totally made from several carts and my vast intellect," he says, ignoring that it is really several carts held together with duct tape and bungie cords. "You couldn't manage it."
not_halfbaked: (well of course)

[personal profile] not_halfbaked 2012-08-14 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Korra notices it's several carts put together. "Uh, what if I just got the one cart instead of all those?"
megamind: (All According To Plan)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-08-14 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"You could do that. They're near the front of the store," Megamind says with a wave of his hand. See? That was almost helpful. "But you can't take mine!"
not_halfbaked: (hey there)

[personal profile] not_halfbaked 2012-08-14 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Good enough for her.

"Thanks," Korra nods with a smile, and begins to walk off.

Then she stops, walks back and offers her hand. "My name's Korra by the way. What's yours?"
megamind: (Not Sure About That...)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-08-14 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Megamind turned back from what he was doing. Wait. Was she asking his... name? Did she not tremble at his fierce appearance? No?

"I am Megamind," he replies, looking at her hand as if it might SHOOT FIRE at any moment. He does not shake. He's got leather gloves on! She might get human cooties on his stuff.
not_halfbaked: (thank you)

[personal profile] not_halfbaked 2012-08-17 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Korra blinked. Then thought maybe handshakes weren't part of his culture. They weren't always the thing in her world too. Instead she tried bowing to him--maybe that was what his culture was used to?

"Nice bumping into you, Megamind."
megamind: (Arrogant)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-08-17 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
"...right," he said, and turned on his heel, cape flaring behind him. Yup, apparently not interested. No, he was just going to go get his carts and start dragging them along again...

...though he cast a glance back at Korra, as if suspicious. She might try and take his stuff!
