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!))

SG Whirl
[He frowns. He'd never thought of the stepping-on angle.]
Right. We need something for the roof, then. [A 'do not step on this' device.]
Hahah oh my god
[A pause.]
... Actually that would be cool. But too time consuming.
no subject
[Absolutely serious.]
[He frowns.] Too time consuming...to protect your home.
no subject
[She stands, hands on her hips, smiling.]
You're being silly.
no subject
[He has the feeling he's doing something wrong.]
no subject
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.
no subject
[And believe him he hates that fact. ]
But...I worry.
no subject
Come down here a second.
no subject
[He drops to one knee.]] What? What's wrong?
no subject
Drift. Look me in the eyes.
You do not have to worry, okay? Everything will be fine.
no subject
I don't have to. But it doesn't mean I don't want to, or that I won't.
no subject
If you insist. Just ease up and don't forget to enjoy yourself, alright?
no subject
I can enjoy myself just fine. [A little hurt, really. He knows what he's doing.
No he doesn't.]no subject
Then stop fretting for now, okay? This is a good thing. We have supplies now. Is there anything you want here? You know- for yourself?
no subject
[Much.]
[He shrugs.] Don't know. There's really nothing--I'm not a builder, honestly. Kind of the opposite.
no subject
[She's just sassing you, Drift don't mind her.]
Well it looks like there's other stuff, too. What kind of things do you like. We could get you some polish or something.
no subject
[There's nothing wrong with that, is there?]
I don't really know. It's all kind of overwhelming. [Stuff, all this stuff. Dizzying is more like it.]
no subject
[She moves to sit down on the big cart of building materials she'd pilfered.]
Ah. We'll find something for you.
[She'll find him something. She just wants to give him something nice after he brought her lunch and... pretty much has put up with her this long.]
no subject
[Wait. Not 'let me'. He meant, you know, you should always acknowledge his inexorable rightness. Or something.]
I don't need anything. More you have, the more you have to lose, right?
no subject
[She sticks her tongue out. So mature.]
Doesn't have to be big. Just something.
[As she tries to think, she fiddles with the contents of one of the pouches on her RIG. She didn't expect to find anything beyond receipts and spare nuts and bolts, but something larger meets her fingers and she pulls it out.
Oh. Her Marker pendant. Not uncommon for a Unitologist to have. Though since she's very recently agnostic...]
Hm. Here, Drift. Catch.
[She tosses it to him.]
no subject
[Don't have an immaturity contest with Drift.]
[He does have good reflexes, catching the pendant in one hand.]
What is it?
no subject
[Hard to make a threat with a smile on your face.]
It's mine. I don't need it anymore, but hold onto it for me until I can get you a real gift, okay?
no subject
[He twitches, stepping back.] Uh, not right now, though maybe. [Because he's pretty sure she'll do it.
You sure you don't need it anymore? What's it do?
no subject
[She shakes her head.]
It's The Marker. Well. A pendant of the Marker. The actual one is much larger. I used to believe it was the source of human life. An alien artifact that was discovered, where I'm from. A lot of people believe it holds they key to all human evolution. That we were engineered by someone else...
[She kicks at a small piece of metal near her feet.]
Ever since what the church did to me, I'm not really sure what I believe anymore.
no subject
[Because she's pretty tough. He wouldn't be surprised if she actually could get pretty far against a Cybertronian.]
[He studies the marking on the pendant.] So it's a symbol of lost faith, then. [He gives a shy smile.] Fitting, I guess.
