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!))

[ He shrugs a little. ]
Personal time.
no subject
[Blurr still doesn't get it. Mostly because he is working unless he's offlined and 'personal time' is a foreign concept for him.] I don't think I ever had that.
no subject
[ Oh, First Aid is practically oozing with shock at that. ]
You can't be serious! Why not?
no subject
I was always working I never had much time to myself. And I still don't quite understand what the magazines have to do with me making good use or not of my very scarce free time.
no subject
[ Oh, Blurr. First Aid's expression is pitying. ]
Working all the time? That's not healthy! You need enough rest to keep functioning.
[ He holds out the magazine to Blurr. ]
Ah. I didn't think you'd be this... [ Um. Words. Blurr, you can't be a very young mech. ] Anyway. Are you actively interfacing?
1/idk
I rest from time to time I promise. [But he has nightmares about Shockwave and his death so yeah not resting ALL that much actually.]

Just. No.]
why are you asking me that DO you really think it's appropriate This is the weirdest conversation I had in my life AND trust me I've met Bumblebee Amechpersonallifeissomethingprivatewhywouldyouevenaskthatwhywhywhywell if you really are curious the answer is no canwemoveonwihtourlivesnowplease.
HAHAHA
[ Wow, that's quite a reaction. First Aid stills and waits for Blurr to calm down, taking a moment to try and decipher that rush of mumbled words. He maybe gets half of it. He deducts the answer is 'no' though. ]
It's nothing to be ashamed of! Overloads are good for you, though. If you're not with someone, you should take care of yourself. It helps relieve stress too.
:'D 1/3
[He's still brain broken, don't mind him.]
[First Aid you aren't helping.]
[AT ALL.]
[In the middle of his previous fit his hands moved to cover his face, now he glances a look at First Aid.] Over..lo..ad...s...

[NOPE. Still not ready for this conversation.]

Why would I make fun of you? It's just an honest recommendation. There are all kinds of benefits. It should also help you fall into recharge.
[ First Aid shifts, practically smiling with his whole frame. ]
A mech of your frame and design probably has a lot of excess charge. It would definitely help with that.
no subject
I...don't know...[He seems more unsure than freaked out, let's call that progress.] I've been having some problems falling into recharge lately... Would that really help?
no subject
Definitely! Many mechs get a bit sleepy afterwards. Have you ever done it before?
no subject
eh....nnnnnnnno. I was always busy.
no subject
Never? But you seem like you'd be... [ He waves it off. Involving waving that magazine. ] Err. Anyway. Do you know how?
no subject
I'd be...what exactly? [ should he be offended?] IFIKNOWHOWTOWHAT!? [Translation: Not really.]
no subject
[ Blurr is way too obvious. ]
Oh, I see. Well, first find a place where you can get comfortable, okay? Some privacy or... at least avoid interruption. And then you can open up and well... [ He paws his chest to demonstrate. ]
no subject
...you want me to touch my own spark. O-kay.
