WHO: Everyone involved in Game Start
WHAT: Waking up after the explosion
WHERE: Well . . . that's for you guys to figure out, isn't it?
WHEN: Now
WARNINGS: None but what you bring with you
NOTES: Be sure to reply in your respective group thread.



At first, there is nothing. Without warning, agony erupts – a twisting, burning sensation that leaves you sure you’re about to be torn apart, but then it subsides to a sharp ache. The nothingness has taken on a purple-black appearance, shifting and flowing around you.

You’re lying on your back, and the pressure is immense. If you breathe, you feel like you’re suffocating. You struggle to sit up, to get the pressure off you. You strain and fight . . . and suddenly the mists flow off and away, taking the pressure with them. You sit up and look around.

You’re not in Kansas anymore.

Misty purple-black “bubbles” on the ground around you burst and flow off from other bodies, disappearing down into the ground and revealing familiar faces.

Wherever you are, at least you’re not here alone.

Your journey here has not been a pleasant one. You are battered and dented; you look like you've gone ten rounds with a tornado and lost. You probably don't feel much better.

You find yourself on a grassy hillside. Far to the south and west rises a roiling wall of the same purple-black mists that just deposited you here. To the north and east, you'll see a city and what looks like an artificial sun hanging high above it.

Sentinel’s and Drift’s weapons have been flung across the ground. Sentinel is sprawled over Bulkhead’s chest. Thankfully, aside from the battering received from the explosion, you’re not otherwise injured. Now just to figure out where you are.

Your journey here has not been a pleasant one. You are battered and dented; you look like you've gone ten rounds with a tornado and lost. You probably don't feel much better.

You find yourself amidst the crags and lower peaks of the mountains. To the south the higher peaks rise above you, though one large area looks as though a peak has been pull from the range like a rotten tooth from a mouth. To the north is a city and what looks like an artificial sun hanging high above it.

Blurr has sustained a blow to the head that will leave him mildly dizzy and unable to concentrate on complicated tasks. Blurr's firelizard seems okay, though, if perhaps a little flustered by what's just happened.

Rose is draped unceremoniously over Gunmax's face. While Rose's firelizard and datapad spider are with her, her motorcycle, and Gunmax's Gunbike, seem to be missing.

Thankfully, aside from the battering received from the explosion, and Blurr's minor head injury, you’re not otherwise injured. Now just to figure out where you are.

Your journey here has not been a pleasant one. You are battered and dented; you look like you've gone ten rounds with a tornado and lost. You probably don't feel much better.

You find yourself on the edges of a forest. Trees spread out to either side reaching towards a mountain range in the north and meeting with what looks to be crystal trees in the west. Off to the south and east, a city can be seen with what looks like an artificial sun hanging high above it.

Lea, Knock Out, and Wing are in a heap on the ground. Wing is on the bottom, one wing panel clearly bent out of shape. Knock Out is face down over Wing, and Lea is on his back on top of Knock Out. Lea's Keyblade and Wing's Great Sword are on the ground not far from the pile. Knock Out's firelizard is also there, unharmed.

Thankfully, aside from the battering received from the explosion. and Wing's twisted wing panel, you’re not otherwise injured. Now just to figure out where you are.

Your journey here has not been a pleasant one. You are battered and dented; you look like you've gone ten rounds with a tornado and lost. You probably don't feel much better.

You find yourself on the edges of a forest of crystal trees. The trees change colors slowly, some showing red, while others are blue, and others yet are purple. The expanse of trees stretches along to meet with a more organic variety of tree towards the northwest, and to the southwest the land spreads out into hills and what looks to be grass. The temperature here is sweltering, threatening to overheat your systems if you get too active. To the east, a city can be seen with what looks like an artificial sun hanging high above it.

Thundercracker is on his back, Gunmax's Gunbike not far from him...along with one of his wings. In the explosion, the massive motorcycle collided with a wing, taking the limb off. Nearby, Blackarachnia is half wrapped around a tree, Ravage tucked up behind her head. Ravage's firelizard is nearby, leaning on Ravage's ball of yarn. Thundercracker's four firelizards have taken refuge in a crystal tree above their owner. Blackarachnia's datapad spider is nearby, and anything she may have had in hand is strewn across the ground.

Thankfully, aside from the battering received from the explosion. and Thundercracker's detached wing, you’re not otherwise injured. Now just to figure out where you are.

Your journey here has not been a pleasant one. You are battered and dented; you look like you've gone ten rounds with a tornado and lost. You probably don't feel much better.

You find yourself amongst the snowcaps of a mountain range. The snow is deep, hiding craggy formations in a deceptive blanket of white. To the south and west, a city can be seen with what looks like an artificial sun hanging high above it.

Jadewing is leaned against a sharp rock formation. In the explosion, a human's motorcycle slammed into his wing. While Jadewing is a large Cybertronian, even a small human vehicle was enough to painfully loosen the connections of the wing; it will hang at an awkward angle until repaired. Nearby, Deckard is half buried in the snow, his lower body covered. Elsa is curled up over his chest.

Thankfully, aside from the battering received from the explosion. and Jadewing's damaged wing, you’re not otherwise injured. Now just to figure out where you are.
