[Visible to All][Posting from the Junk Pile]

[mccrane]

This is McCrane.

[He is aware that there is some way in which to lock this to only his fellow Brave Police Officers, but he's not familiar enough with the settings yet to do this, so everyone can see it.]

One of the large inhabitants has informed me that we can take up residence with him.

Should we accept this offer?

I have yet to find any gasoline...

[As if now realizing that this might actually be useful if there are a number of viewers, he pauses, and changes tactics.]

Has anyone found anything that looks like this? [He holds up his one, single can of gasoline, hoping that the camera on his communicator can catch it.] It might become necessary.

[Considering they'll. Die. If they don't find a supply of it.]

As long as we're sticking together, I don't think it matters where we go.

But for now, I think we need to keep an eye out for some gas. The junk piles have a bunch of crap.

[mccrane]

I would prefer that.

[The thought had crossed his mind for them to split up, but it had also been accompanied by a great sense of unease. They did not know this terrain.]

We could stay at the junkyard, and continue searching. It would conserve what we have.

[engrishdetective]

Either way, I'm all right with that. I'm not interested in splitting off locations right now after we just found each other.

[That and... honestly, he doesn't think it'd be good for Deckerd, either.]

[patokichi]

Well, I certainly won't say no to a safe place to stay. Keep a watchful eye out, though. We need to stay close, we're a bit vulnerable out here, even though I have my support vehicle, without Yuuta it's as good as useless.

I found one container of gasoline and I've saved it. We can split it between the three of us, but we should be cautious and use our energy wisely.

If any one of us finds out anything, we should keep each other informed.

[mccrane]

I wonder how far away these 'temples' are.

[Because the idea of safety? Its a good one. But the idea of leaving behind the only place that might have gas? That is a little unnerving.]

Deckerd... [He begins, and simply trails off, and nods. Your gesture of kindness is a touch of home that he is glad to see, and he...doesn't really have words to relate that. He doesn't have words, but he does have some statistics for you instead?] Gunmax had a few. I have one.

We could stay behind, until we find more?

[patokichi]

[He hums quietly, thinking.]

We need to find out.

And I'm going to say no- we need to be sticking together. I'll stay behind with you two. If you feel that we need to have a bit more stockpiled I trust your judgement. We can look for a while, but if we don't turn up many results it could be even more of a waste, we should get to shelter, get settled and regroup.

[OOC: More headcanon--I'm assuming since there are Satomobiles, they run mostly on gasoline, so Korra's familiar with the concept.]

[Korra peeks in curiously.]

You guys are looking for gasoline?

[She tilts her head.]

Are you guys Cybertronian, or Earth robots like Gunmax?

[mccrane]

[...! A human that knows what gasoline is! This is a relief, after the human that didn't even know what Earth was.]

Yes, that is correct. Have you seen any?

[It takes him a moment to realize how smoothly the language translation is working on this new communicator, because he's aware you're not speaking Japanese, but it sounds like it to him. It's incredible.]

Gunmax and I, and also Deckerd...are all members of the Brave Police. We are not Cybertronian.

[And...just...in case...]

We're from Japan.

[not_halfbaked]

I'm afraid I haven't, but I'll keep an eye out.

Actually, have you guys seen any water? [OOC: Another type of 'fuel' human Korra desperately needs to survive.]

Gunmax mentioned Japan. I'm not familiar with it, there's no Japan on my earth.

...So, what is Japan like?

[sword_redemption]

Gasoline?

[Wait, what? Robots powered on gasoline? But they only used gasoline...on...?]

You're from Earth?

[video] Why hello there robot

[mccrane]

You know about Earth?

[Oh, that was a relief!]

...

[Though now that he's studying you, its...less of a relief. If his experience with other robots on the junk pile was any indication, you are definitely Cybertronian. In fact...]

...

[That sword.]

...

[For that matter, that dripping.]

...

[He doesn't know where to begin, so you only get the first question for right now.]

[video]

[sword_redemption]

I was there. A while ago. Fighting a war.

[Yeah, maybe don't answer who won, because that's when things start getting really blurry.]

It's beautiful, Earth. But I'm glad we left.

[rotafortunae]

The translation feature's rather handy, isn't it? Anyway... I'm afraid I've seen no cans like that, but I would say, accepting those offers doesn't seem so terrible. The place I've found myself is practically cozy.

[mccrane]

[It's you!]

Luxord. [He smiles, a little. Seeing you and being able to understand you? It's somewhat of a relief. However, business first. Later, he can ask you how you disappeared.]

Who did you follow?

[rotafortunae]

[He almost feels like being coy about it, but this is hardly a card to hide...]

Trion, he calls himself, Alpha Trion. I think we'll get along...

[noparachutes]

Gasoline. And of what priority is it to you?

1/?

[mccrane]

[What...]

2/?

[mccrane]

[What...]

3/?

[mccrane]

[What are you?]

[automobile_enthusiast]

Gasoline? Really?

[mccrane]

[He nods, trying not to notice that...is it derision?...in your tone.]

Have you seen any?

[Video]

[herodecoded]

I have yet to see a Cybertonian rely on that viscous fluid for sustenance.

[What kind of robots are you seriously.]

[Video]

[mccrane]

Then I shall not blemish your record. I am not from Cybertron.

[Still, this is making him wonder something.]

Is there a problem with gasoline?

[Private Audio]

[my_own_trope]

Gasoline? How .... quaint.

In the event I happen to locate such a primitive fuel, I'll let you know. You would of course be expected to take care of the finders fee.

[Private Audio]

[mccrane]

[McCrane treats this as factual. Normally, gasoline is bought. If someone else is finding it? Payment does not seem out of the question.]

The going rate was 215 yen per gallon when I left... [Ah, gas prices in the 1990s.]

I would be willing to exchange for the equivalent.
