ROCK'EM SOCK'EM ROBOTS [BIG OPEN FIGHT LOG]

Who: Signless, Robots, and YOU
Where: City Hall, and all over downtown LA.
When: April 14th
What: Signless bates the Cybetronians into having a big fight in downtown LA while attempting to get a valuable artifact. Earth civilians and superheroes are SUPER WELCOME to notice the fuss and try to stop the fighting/safe people from collateral damage.
Warnings: SUDDENLY ROBOT ULTRAVIOLENCE

Signless leaves himself, and the hammer, visible at first. He wants them to see him, to know that the battle is imminent - and with any luck, a conflict will start. He'll do his best to disappear and keep them hunting for him as as long as possible after he's initially been spotted. Maximum collateral damage is his goal.

It also helps that he's an empath. He'll be taking whatever opportunities he can to agitate people's emotions, whether it be anger, panic, or fear, in the attempt to make ever more chaos.

This is a party style log, meaning you can make you own threads and scenarios. Signless will be around with the hammer. LET'S MAKE THIS AS BIG OF A CLUSTERFUCK AS POSSIBLE, GUYS.

When she notices that there's a giant robot apparently about to collapse right next to her, Miko jumps up and stumbles a few steps back, just in case - but she's not really expecting to be addressed directly.

"Nah, just taking some pictures. I'm pretty good at staying out of the way..." She... has no idea who are the good guys and who are the bad guys here, for the most part, but this one doesn't seem particularly malicious. He also doesn't look particularly healthy, though she's not sure how to tell for sure with robots.

"Are- are you okay? 'Cuz you don't look so good." She casts a glance at the liquid dripping on the ground - is that blood or what? She's guessing it's not supposed to be leaking everywhere, though.

Drift’s surprised at how casually the girl answers him. Are humans used to a robot presence on the planet after all? But why the pictures?

“I’m not too great, I guess. But I’ll manage. I have to.”

An attempt to get to his feet makes him grimace. This is pathetic, really. The wound is bad, but not enough for him to stay on the sidelines. “Even if you keep out of the way - you should finish up and leave. It’s not going to get any quieter here.”

"If you say so..." She looks pretty doubtful of his claim that he'll "manage".

However, she straightens up and shakes her head emphatically when he suggests she leave. "No way! That's why I've got to stay - stuff's gonna keep happening, and if I'm not here to record it, what kind of journalist would that make me?!"

"Besides," she adds, "I know what I'm doing - this isn't the first time I've done something like this!" Granted, last time ended with one person getting injured and two kidnapped, but you can't get excitement without some risk, right?

So she was a journalist? Ok, at least the pictures made sense. Still…no matter the reason, it would be dangerous for her to hang around so close to the fighting. Most Cybertronians had to be more than half her size. He doubts the Decepticons would take time to go after any humans right now…but if one got in their way? Well. That would be that.

Except if she’d seen even a fraction of the fighting, she must know the risks. And first impression of this girl said she wasn’t the type who would leave. No matter what Drift said to her. He finds himself grinning – the wound forgotten for a brief moment.

“Really? You’ve taken pictures of giant robots fighting before?”
pullingamiko: (yeah that's right)

[personal profile] pullingamiko 2014-06-23 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well I mean- not exactly." "Not exactly" here means no, not at all. "But I kinda make it a point to get up close when there's shit going down like this. And I have met a couple of you guys before!"
positiveenergy: (What now?)

[personal profile] positiveenergy 2014-06-28 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
“Wait, you...you’ve met others like me?”

Maybe staying undercover didn’t mean the same thing to him that it did to everyone else. Not that it mattered now…But any of the Autobots would’ve mentioned something if they’d been spotted, right? Does this mean she’d talked with one of the Decepticons?

“Do you...happen to know what their names were or anything?"

So it seemed he hadn't been expecting that. Maybe this guy was more concerned with the whole keeping-a-low-profile thing than some of the others. Or he was just expecting them to be better at it.

"Let's see, there was Orion first, I think, then Knock Out, who, by the way, is a total asshole, aaand... never got the last guy's name. This skinny grey dude. Also an asshole." She ticks off each one on her fingers as she speaks. "You know 'em?" She would assume so; she's pretty sure she's seen a couple of them here, and she doesn't see why they would all be fighting if they didn't know each other somehow.
positiveenergy: (What now?)

[personal profile] positiveenergy 2014-07-06 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
So it was Knock Out and…Starscream from the sounds of it. All in all, that wasn’t too surprising. But Orion breaking cover? That was something he hadn’t expected. Then again, who knew what the circumstances were? Maybe he should be worried about the cons having made contact with this girl, but right now it’s Orion that catches his attention. He gives a brief nod.

“I know Knock Out. We’re not friends…to say the least. Not the other guy either, I’m pretty sure. But Orion, I…well I guess…I guess I don’t really know him.”

It’s a strange thought. There’s been a lot going on, and Orion hasn’t been on his mind lately. He’d never known Optimus personally. But Orion…they’d never even met before.

“It’s complicated. You could say he’s a friend of a friend. Any…any idea if he’s doing alright?”
pullingamiko: (this sucks)

[personal profile] pullingamiko 2014-07-06 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
She shakes her head, looking slightly guilty. "No idea, sorry. Last I saw him was back when all the cyborg shit happened and we ended up both getting kidnapped." It sort of sucks, really; she has pretty much no idea what happened to him after that.

"Don't worry about it. We're easier to lose track of than you'd think."

It didn't seem like she was lying, at least. But if that was all she knew, then it was about time for Drift to get back into the fight - he'd rested more than enough already. Getting back to his feet is a struggle, but he manages to do it without falter this time.

She watches him, still with a tinge of uncertainty, but he seems to be managing to get up okay - he can handle himself, right? "You goin' back in?"
positiveenergy: (Care to say that again?)

[personal profile] positiveenergy 2014-07-18 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
He nods briefly, steadying himself and fixing the grip on his sword, all the while doing his best to ignore the throbbing pain at his side. “I have to. I’ve already spent too much time resting.”

Sounds of the fighting still reach his audials. There’s restlessness building up inside of him, but he turns towards her once again. “What about you? I’m guessing you’re staying?”
pullingamiko: (serious photography)

[personal profile] pullingamiko 2014-07-18 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Miko grins. "Naturally!" She intends to stay for as long as she can get away with; who knows what she'll miss if she leaves.
positiveenergy: (Explain that again?)

[personal profile] positiveenergy 2014-07-22 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
“Well…needless to say, watch yourself. No one here is out to harm any humans, but some of them won’t think twice about attacking if you get in their way.”

He pauses for a moment before motioning to Autobot badge on his plating.

“Anyone that isn’t wearing one of these.”
pullingamiko: (yeah that's right)

[personal profile] pullingamiko 2014-07-22 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
She grins and raises a hand to her forehead in a loose salute; "Got it!"
