INTRODUCTION

INTRO
Vault 113

You wake feeling groggy. You have the distinct sense of oversleeping, even if you may not recall ever going to bed in the first place. And this bed? Definitely not yours, no matter how comfortable it may be. And you'd probably not go to sleep in your street clothes*, right? Well, maybe it's time to smooth out your bedhead and get exploring!

(*or whatever else you were wearing at the last moment you remember)

The first thing you'll notice is the complete absence of windows - are you underground? Though you'll encounter quite a few closed doors, there are some rooms for you to look through and maybe catch your breath in. Maybe it's time for a slushie in the dining room? Impatience won't get you anywhere!

And what's better than a sweet drink to bring strangers together? After all, you're not the only one who's crawled out of bed a little late today. Mingle and don't worry too hard about your current predicament!

((The Mastermind will introduce themselves at 7pm EST real time.))

[Rustbucket...Carnivac makes no reaction to the insult, but it doesn't mean he didn't notice it.]

Then if you are unaffiliated with - [gestures] - this, who are you?

A victim in this situation, just as much as you are, I presume.

[He crosses his arms, staring up at Carnivac. He needs to seriously crane his neck to look up towards what he assumed to be the robot's face.]

I dunno about you, but I was kind of in the middle of something before I woke up here. I've got places to be, things to do. I'm going to get to the bottom of this, and then I'm going to get out.

Then we are much in the same boat. Perhaps we could work together.

[He has vital business to attend to, though…right now, his influence has led to things to become rather dire.]

I would like to know your name, however. Otherwise I would have to refer to you as “human” - and I cannot imagine that would be particularly enjoyable for either of us. Or specific.

Call me Nick. [A pause.] I take it 'rustbucket' isn't going to cut it.

[Also I just realized Carnivac is like...16 inches taller than Nick....]

[personal profile] anarchia 2023-04-09 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
No. It’s not.

[16 inches and that’s shrunken down, baby! He is very much Looking Down at the man in front of him.]

It’s Carnivac.

Carnivac? [Nick echoes, brow furrowing even deeper.] Alright. Can I ask you a question? What are you?

[Kind of a stupid, invasive question, but he may as well ask. Making assumptions when you don't have all the facts is the worst thing you can do as a detective.]
anarchia: (no awoo)

[personal profile] anarchia 2023-04-10 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
…You don’t beat around the bush.

[There’s something for being forward, at least.]

I’m a member of a species of mechanical lifeforms. Cybertronians. Perhaps you’ve heard of them, we waged a war on your planet for several years.
verghese: (12)

[personal profile] verghese 2023-04-11 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't see any point in skirting around the issue.

[As opposed to some people. Like Casey.]

And...uh, no, I actually haven't. [Damn. A robot war on top of all the occult shit going on?] I'm surprised. You'd think I'd know about a robot war happening in my own backyard.
anarchia: (wreck and awoo)

[personal profile] anarchia 2023-04-11 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
Human and cybertronian relations have been a significant political issue as of late. I find it difficult to believe you haven’t noticed.

[especially considering a politician just recently revealed herself to be a decepticon on live tv.]

Do you spend much time by yourself?

[do you live under a rock.]
verghese: (10)

[......................................]

Um...no?

[He sounds unsure of it, himself. He did spend a good year or two seeing ghosts and staunchly refusing to believe that they were ghosts.]

Listen, I'm kind of new to this whole "secret world I didn't know about" thing.

It's hardly a secret anymore, but no matter. I imagine that, regardless, it's a lot for you to take in...on top of all of this.

[He makes a gesture towards their surroundings.]

Try not to feel overwhelmed.

[personal profile] verghese 2023-04-14 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs.]

Well, uh, it's not the first time in the last few months that my worldview has been completely upended. Wait 'til I tell you about the ghosts.

[…]

I’m waiting.

...About, like, ghosts in general, or...? The only really major thing is that they exist, I guess.
