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!))

Maybe I just want to keep an optic on you. After all, you're clearly not wise to the ways of the world. [oh snap that was a low and teasing blow]

How long did you spend on Earth back in your universe, anyway?

[Oh that IS low.] I probably have seen more worlds than you can even start to imagine. [And without a spaceship even, he parkour'd around the galaxy.]

I can't offer you any details of my mission.

[personal profile] ex_dishonestly997 2012-08-15 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[The smile falters--his years with the Decepticons and his natural tendency to probe and test for reaction make him less aware of when to stop--what not to say--sometimes.] Too far, huh.

Okay, okay.

...Do you need any help getting supplies back to your room, or are you full up?
raceme: (>:/)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-08-15 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[A bit too far yes, mostly because Blurr had been away from Cybetron so many times that he really missed it. His chin goes up and he lets go a small frustrated sound but he doesn't complain further than that.

He relaxes marginally at the help offer.] No thanks I 'm fine for now... I don't really want those magazines . What about you? What was you looking for?

[personal profile] ex_dishonestly997 2012-08-16 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Wing tricked me into inventory by appealing to my ego and love of organization. I'm trying to figure out what people have, in case we need the supplies in the future. I have my work cut out for me.

You know, this being a helpful mech thing is exhausting.
raceme: (I'm tiredddddd)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-08-16 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
So you are helping us to build the bar WOULD you like to be a VIP once we open?' [Look, he can joke too.]

PrimsudontIknowthat.

[personal profile] ex_dishonestly997 2012-08-16 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
If everything else goes according to plan I'll be drinking a lot, so don't dash my hopes with false promises.

...really? You're admitting--[damn he is his new favorite autobot.]
raceme: (Oh you :))

[personal profile] raceme 2012-08-16 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I rarely make empty promises Starscream. [He's a bot of his words.] We will see~

Is the truth after all. [Heh and awww.] Elite agents get tired too.

[personal profile] ex_dishonestly997 2012-08-16 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe someday you'd like a different job.

[just testing the waters here.]
raceme: (Smile - calmly pleased)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-08-16 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps You mentioned racing I like that.. But my duty is more important and I like to help people.

[personal profile] ex_dishonestly997 2012-08-17 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
What if you could help people another way?
raceme: (What was I saying...?)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-08-17 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Then I will pro-ba-bly have more than one job WHAT are you trying to imply Starscream?

[personal profile] ex_dishonestly997 2012-08-17 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I couldn't ask you to take on more work. Look.

[he hesitates, lowering his voice]

I'm thinking about free elections here, too. There's no sense of organization, everyone is running around doing their own thing, it's a mess. People get lost, people get tortured, the torturers know there's no law for them to break so why bother... Etcetera.
raceme: (Are you okay?)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-08-17 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Blurr frowned very slightly, looking around briefly.]

I'm listening but .. this is not the best place to discuss this. Let's go talk outside.

[Blurr would be lying if he says that he hadn't been thinking that this place needed a law system but..elections? That was complicated and required proper organitzation.]

[personal profile] ex_dishonestly997 2012-08-19 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. [he followed Blurr outside, adding as soon as they hit daylight] Look, I know what you're thinking, I fully intend to have someone there to keep the whole thing fair and honest. I want to win properly because a good leader doesn't lead people who don't want to be led. That's how assassinations happen.
raceme: (Arms crossed - Serious)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-08-19 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[That was a very good point, actually. Blurr still looks cautious.] I know you are right We need some sort of system and I know that the FirstForged can't be bothered to help solve the small problems that can end being big problems...[There was a 'but' handing in the air.] How will you even accomplish that?
