[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.]

[What...]

[engrishdetective]

My vote's on the Prima guy. I think you'd prefer it.

[He nods.] More or less. I'm not far off from him. We were just doing a bit of, ah. Searching.

3/?

[mccrane]

[What are you?]

4/?

[mccrane]

[How are you talking?]

[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...

5/?

[mccrane]

[What even...]

...

[No.]

6/6

[mccrane]

[...well.]

...

[Actually, you still don't beat out the giant panda. This calms him, somewhat.]

It is the utmost priority.

[Possibly right after Yuuta, but...he could leave worrying about Yuuta to Deckerd. Deckerd could do enough worrying about Yuuta for all of them.]

pffffft that was beautiful

[noparachutes]

You could create some.

[mccrane]

[You know him too well, Gunmax.]

Yes.

[That and...his mark matches. So does Deckerd's.]

Give me a landmark?

[Because there is something he needs to tell both of you, and you won't like it. Crane-mode go!]

[mccrane]

It is nice to meet you, as well. Can you give me an idea of how to get to you?

[He's not sure, since he's not yet left. However, he dutifully catalogs the name of 'Megatronus Prime' as being another one of the inhabitants, before looking visibly surprised at the glyph that he recognizes from Gunmax. So. That was who the motorcycle detective had been chosen by. Korra certainly was outgoing, like he was.]

...likely not anything like my Earth, then.

[It was a disappointment. It was less of a disappointment than learning that his Earth was probably not even in this reality, and thus was unobtainable by space, but it was still a disappointment. Still! You're human, and you're from an Earth!]

Have these inhabitants been treating you well?

((Actionspam would be good! McCrane might not be able to get this to you easily, though, since he's still in the junk-pile and trying to conserve gasoline.))

[mccrane]

And he has been very accepting? And the accommodations have been nice?

[It is sounding good, so far. Better than staying here, gasoline or no.]

I'm glad to see you are safe. [He'd worried.]

/bows

[mccrane]

[Where is your voice even coming from? McCrane is still somewhere between horrified and trying to be polite.]

I'm not familiar with the process. Are you?

[noparachutes]

[See those moving mandibles. That is a mouth, good sir.]

Possibly.

[patokichi]

Good plan.

Still looking around in the junkyard. I'll send you a location transmission from my badge.

[engrishdetective]

Hmm. A bunch of bathtubs that seem to almost be stacked. I'll be a bit late, but I'll be there.

[video]HAS DORIFUTO HEARD OF JAPAN YOU ASK?!?!?

[sword_redemption]

We shouldn't have brought it there in the first place. I'm only glad we left it before we did to Earth what we've done to our home.

[And were still doing to Cybertron. Things hadn't seemed much more promising when he'd left with the Lost Light: a planet in chaos, physical and political, run by mechs whose only answer to anything for four million years had been 'greater firepower'.]

Japan? [A nod, and a smile of remembrance.] I've been there.

[He should show you pictures of his old alt. He's particularly a fan of standing around watching emotive, cherry-blossom-petal filled sunsets over the bay.]

[The 'Drift who has a real problem with weakness' answers first.] Yes. No. Not really. It's...it's being taken care of.

[automobile_enthusiast]

Gasoline? Really?

[not_halfbaked]

Still fuzzy on those directions--but, you're low on gas, right? I'll come to you, meet you at the junkyard. Or is it junkpile?

[Korra nods.]

It's so weird to think there's more than one Earth.

Hmm? Oh yeah, I've been good, no one's attacked me or anything...how about you?

(OOC: Actionspam: Korra can meet McCrane in the junkpile. Does she go to an Acolyte off-screen and ask to be teleported there? Is there a teleportation system at the temples that the Acolytes use? Also...I've been wondering, where the peaches an event thing, or something you just decided he found? Sorry, still not that experienced with RP here. ^^;)

[mccrane]

Late?

[He browses through the other conversations, trying to make sure he didn't miss anything, before--]

Wait!

Are you going to take something to Megatronus Prime's Temple?

[Because if you are, he also has something Korra might like.]

[mccrane]

Thank you.

[He'd ask about Yuuta, but he knows you'd have said something if you'd had any luck in that regard.]

How are your arms?

[mccrane]

That would be appreciated.

[He smiles a little, glad that she picked up on his hesitation.]

It is strange. If there was only one Earth, we could probably fly home from here. [As soon as they learned which star it was. Still, it would have been better than this uncertainty. He's...worried. He's really worried.]

They have been patient, considering that we're intruders in their home. [He knows that he should take Prima up on his offer of residence, but he's still...hesitant. Having Gunmax and Deckerd to accompany him will help.] I get the feeling that they wish us to be returned as much as I do.

((OOC:
Yay explainy time!
Acolytes cannot teleport, but they can transport. It'd take her about an hour-ish to reach the junk pile via acolyte. That, or she can catch a ride with someone. For the purposes of this, I think I'm gonna hand off the peaches to Gunmax who is heading to you anyhow!
The peaches were just something I decided on. Small things can be found in the junk-pile by anyone, with a bit of looking~))

[video] DRIFT GLAD YOU ENJOYED OUR NATIONAL PAST TIME OF LOOKING EPIC

[mccrane]

[That worries him, a bit.]

What did you do to your world? It was Cybertron, right?

[......cue being stunned. Drift has been there. Elita one had been able to talk in Japanese, but even she hadn't been to Japan.] Some of your design... [He starts, and trails off.] It has an aesthetic that reminds me of home. [Not everything, and certainly not through all the rust. And there's still that sword, but...]

Someone is coming for you, then?

[not_halfbaked]

(OOC: But I'm guessing in-game we can do time jumps with hours/traveling? And passing off the peaches to Gunmax heading to Megatronus' temple sounds good!)

Cool.

And I think one of your other buddies--don't have his name yet--offered up some water bottles too.

[Korra smiles.]

You can fly? [AIRBENDING AIRBENDING AIRBENDING?]

Yeah, if only they could actually make that happen....

[mccrane]

[It's too strange for him. Too insect-like. You read like a threat, no matter how he looks at you.]

Why contact me, if only possibly?

[mccrane]

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

Have you seen any?
