>>24537741>Thank you.MAN IS IT GOOD TO BE BAD!!! MWAHAHAHA!
>>24537652Oh please. You're gonna need a tan, a nose job and a few hundred hours in the gym before I give you more than a disgusted glance. Now turn Rem back at once!>>24537670>What was it supposed to play?>>24537702Run along little guy..>She can only hope this meant he survived whatever that spell was somehow. Arena shenanigans would surely bring him back.
>>24537753Take a good look at your failure.
>>24537753>>24537764Winner, congratulation!Host, g-grateful...
>>24537764>Some people really get big heads over winning coin flips. Solphi can only sigh.>Thank you for this.
>>24537753
>>24537764This missions a wash people..>Thanks for hosting!
>>24537763>He clutches his chest in mock agony, stumbling backward like he's just been shot through the heart.Ouch! Double ouch! That stings!>He recovers springing into a handstand before flipping right back onto his feet teleporting around her mockingly. Sorry, sister! No refunds on spaghetti blood vessels! The BADDIES win, AGAIN, and this CLOWN stays fabulous. I should cause mayhem outside of these games, WOLULULULULULULULULU!!! >He spanks his own butt and poofs away. >>24537763>>24537781>24537784>24537785>24537793>Thanks for playing.
>>24537763>[ For now. Just know that a big bad in his source calls Rem a figment after killing him. ]>>24537741>[ Uttering a high pitched screech. He wakes up in a secret room in this bar; the game was a bad nightmare. Visibly shaken up by the method, he was eliminated, even whimpering and hugging his pillow tight. But a new area, time to explore. Takes him a moment to work up the courage to poke his head out of a vent. Gonna be an odd sight for any patrons, two bright cyan lights on the floor.] >>24537763(Death voice lines.)>>24537764> Big bad kills child first.> Didn't even give the griffin a chance to gamble...(Diabolical.

>>24537741Hm. I'll sing.>She selects a song from the book, and grabs the microphone.>https://youtu.be/VKmC1NX_ygY
>>24537879Bravo! Bravo!>The little devil clapped along as she listened to the stranger's song. Diversions of this variety were unusual for her to indulge in, but a few drinks had opened her up to fresh, new concepts. The sake she sipped had warmed her cheeks to a rosy tint and left her with a foolish grin that she could not quite keep contained. In addition, it had dulled her senses a bit, but not so much that she didn't hear the cries of a startled youth coming from across the hall >>24537831>>24537831>A patron of this establishment drifts towards the source of the cry, her curiosity had been piqued. The little black wings on her head fluttered once, emoting her interest. The diminutive devil was not quite observant enough to look up towards the vents, instead investigating beneath the large table.>She clearly thought the glow of his eyes were just another product of the myriad of disco balls and mood lights that adorned the establishment.Now what could that have been..?
>>24537948>Somewhere a maid is busy cleaning the empty booths.
>>24537948>The blonde stranger gives a blink, nod, and smile in that order. She points at the nearby songbook, while offering up the microphone towards the..strangely winged stranger.Here...Try "Cruel Angel's Thesis", or "Moonlight Densetsu." I hear they're good for newbies. Hm.>>24537948>The cry of..something from far away. She tilts her head, did someone lose their dog in here? Or..Maybe it's a stray cat.>She turns her gaze up and sees... some kind of bird(?) like creature.
>>24537972>>24537831>bweh, 2nd part is this, donno why it didn't copy
>>24537972>[ He was traumatized. The nightmare felt so real, at least it was just a nightmare. Right...? ]>[ He's a little hesitant to reveal himself right now. For now, it's just its cyan glowing eyes peering from behind a grated ventilation shaft. ]>[ The moment she steps closer. You can hear the creature scurry back a bit. Clawed paws and hands against stainless steel. Will make a unique and discomforting sound.]>>24537955>>24537972>[ Her song finished. Now the trio can hear the echoey squeaking and whimpering coming from the thing in the vents. Maybe the cyan glow of the creature's eyes? You may end up confusing it with the bar's ambient lighting. ]
>>24538002>>24537972>Koakuma rises up from her knees and moves her investigations toward the squeaking coming from the vent. In her inebriated state it takes a moment to realize what she's looking at, and even then she isn't quite sure. Giant bright eyes, a beak like obsidian and inkly black feathers.Kyaaahhhh! There's a monster in the vents!>Have you ever seen what happens when a startled bat flies in through your window at night, well you're about to get something similar.>Her eyes shut tightly as she begins to beat her wings in a frantic blur, sending her upward in burst of speed. In her panic, she unleashes a chain of danmaku, each taking the shape of a large transparent purple orb and detonating in unpredictable patterns around the room.>She clips a disco ball in her hasty retreat, sending shards of glass raining down below. Then she slams into a television, leaving its screen nothing more than a fractured kaleidoscope of digitized colors. The table would be knocked over, drinks spilled, lights broken, all with no sign of the little devil's momentum stopping.Get it! Get it!>>24537955>If the screams in the next booth didn't alert the maid something was awry, then the sudden volley of danmaku bursting through the walls certainly would. Whatever cleaning had been accomplished by the maid would quickly be undone by the startled devil.
>>24538002>>24538065>Tilting her head, she's trying to get a good read on...whatever this creature is, it's photoluminescent eyes didn't seem to match any bird she knew.Strange-- eh..?>Before she can truly reach out, orbs of light materialize, and there's a sudden gust of wind. The disco ball falls to the ground. The television shatters, and the winged woman from earlier is making a giant and destructive fuss. Luluka reaches out towards the thing, then stops for a moment, she couldn't focus with all this racket. She moves just a bit too swiftly for someone so ordinary looking. Then she calls out to the winged girl.Hey.Calm down.>Poking her in the side of the face.You're being too noisy.
>>24538002>>24538091>He stands quietly by the doorway of the booth with his cleaning supplies waiting for them to finish. He just wants to wipe down the table once they leave....>>24538065>Or not. >This fight is not his problem. Ignoring the screaming devil and the hidden monster, he presses his hands against the wall. Blue alchemical light spark.>The table mends itself the debris disappears, and the walls fuse back together. >He pulls his hands free completely unhurt, and bows politely. Your booth is clean again. Please do not break it anymore.
>>24538065>[ That's not inducing the clawed paws and lion's tail. And the starlight pattern scrolls across the creature's fur. In a nutshell, he's a griffin. Around the preteen age gap. ]>[ But her sudden freak out, conjuring up wind and orbs of light clashing with everything around her.] https://files.catbox.moe/j8sgtp.mp3>[ One more very audible squeak. Followed a flash of purple and blue lights within the vents. And what came out soaring right out of the vent was a pillow. Imbued with a strange magic, it looked like a soft and fluffy pillow, but it was about to hit like it was filled with bricks and lead. Applying a temporary speed debuff if the pillow lands a hit. ]>>24538091>[ In your attempt to calm down the vampire. You have a pillow flying right out of the vent. Aiming to hit whoever. Strange magic fills this flying pillow; appearance-wise, it's soft. But it will hit as if filled with bricks. Applying a temporary speed debuff upon a successful hit. But this was nothing more than a wild toss to get them away. ]
>>24538148 (oops. Should have waited a moment.)>[ Just as you finished cleaning. Pillow! Flying out of the vents. Aiming for one of the two girls. It's going to leave a mess of feathers! Pay no mind to the strange magic the pillow seems to be imbued with. ]
>>24538091>>24538148>>24538155Calm down? You should have a look at what's inside the vents!>The devil sees the projectileA pillow?>She flaps her wings and attempts to dodge the pillow by flying upwards. >[Evens] Too slow! She gets a face full of feathers and magic.>[Odds] She shoots upward, her wings flapping hard and spilling any remaining drinks on the table.
>>24538155>>24538148>>24538185>Her gaze drifts back over to the vent as she speaks, trying to track the creature. Maybe it could prove useful, and lead her to...You're scaring it away. Be nicer to animals, that maid is working to>Her eyes widen a fraction, in reaction to the flashing! She merely crouches, avoiding the pillow. While the devil practically shoots herself into the ceiling....Keep everything clean.
>>24538155>>24538169>>24538185>>24538211>No use fighting it, he remains still. Hoping his presence, gets the point across. He's not happy.
cool thread
(Oops. My bad, y'all. Gonna post this and pick it up later. Gotta go wage in a few hours.) >>24538256>[ Hope you don't mind the pillow crashing into random sections. Spreading feathers in that particular area, at least the pillow itself vanished on crashing onto a surface. Try not to be alarmed when the creature revealed its face. Especially with its bright cyan eyes and a cute little hat! ]>>24538185>[ JUST avoiding catching a face full of pillow! Thankfully, without the angry and divorce deities to offer ability boons, the pillow remains at its weakest level. Still would have hit like a pillow filled with bricks. Just ask The Lash™ how it feels to be hit by the pillow. ]>>24538211>[ She seems to figure out the lil'guy was nothing more than a frightened animal. Hearing her voice attempting to calm down the spooked vampire, the eepy child poked its head out a little more. Just enough for the duo to get a good look at its face and the lil' hat on its head. ]"F-friends...‽">[ It can talk! Sounding like a young child, with an echoey filter to HIS voice. Similar to classic horror movies with ghost children. Very much hesitant to fully climb out of the vents. ]>>24538612(The tiger is looking for ya, pretty kitty. Save it for another time. )

>(Testing?)
Game?
>>24537741> .> . .> . . .... Ghh-!>The Writer jumped as his consciousness snapped back into place; his eyes blinked rapidly as the cascade of colorful lights danced over his face. He gasped for breath and looked up and around at his current surroundings.... Okay. This is... different. Different from the usual different.>The room was small and cramped, his legs were practically pinned beneath the table that took up the center of the space. He looked around, made sure he still had his pack, his belongings, then looked at the other details. The doorway, the lights... the screen.Is this... karaoke?>The realization that he had ended up somewhere so normal and mundane made the Writer laugh. He was relieved.Hahh. Well, that's nice. Normally, these things end up being a lot worse.
*eats the thread*
>>24541522>[ In an another time. This meeting was bound to happen one day. You, Mister Wake, found yourself in a very normal-looking karaoke bar. Despite the flashing lights, purple ambiance, and a T.V displaying songs to pick for a group singing session. Everything seems normal, pay no mind to a pair of bright cyan glowing lights coming from a ventilation shaft. And try to ignore the intense feeling of being watched. Probably an illusion due to a case of insomnia and forgetting your meds, Wake. ]
>>24541601you now have ligma
>>24541671>It was a familiar feeling for the Writer. The feeling of being observed. Studied. Hunted. It had become a constant state of being for Wake, so much so that perhaps the absence of an unseen watcher had become the oddity in his life. >The point being, as the Writer tried to stand, to wiggle his way out from the table and the pleather seating that lined the walls of the narrow room, he felt them; the eyes on him. And he froze....>He looked to the doorway again, but saw nothing. He listened for whispers in the wind, for the murmurings of familiar words and familiar names spoken by the shadows, and he heard nothing. So, slowly, he started to move again, one hand gripping the strap of his messenger bag a little tighter as he moved-Tch-!>And that's when his gaze happened to meet with the glowing disks that were peering through a small vent in one high corner of the room. He thought it was just the lights from the decore at first, but he could sense something... alien, hiding in the dark.What the hell-->His mind flashed to the Dark Place. To the nightmares. To Scratch... would this be another danger? Another monster for another story...?
>>24541764>[ Watching this man move, was funny. At least to the observer, if things get out of hand, you have the green fox to pray to. He can come to your aid. Once more, Wake finds himself within the sight of another. Fitting given this creature's affinity. ]>[ His eyes drawn to the "lights" a looking back at him. His reaction was expected, hearing Wake shout a 'no, no' word. The cyan lights *blink* and changed shape, both glowing circles suddenly sliced across the top, angled sharply downward. Where half of the lights disappeared. ]"You shouldn't say bad words!">[ A voice, sounding like it belongs to a child within the preteen age gap. An echoey filter to each word. ]"That's meeeaaannnn! Mister! Saying bad words must mean you need「Naptime!」. Nap will help you!
>>24541848I... what?>The Writer blinked. The momentary fight-or-flight panic he felt was replaced by a wave of confusion that hit like a slap to the face. Those were certainly eyes looking back at him, he was sure of it now. But they weren't human... and they sounded like they belonged to a child.H-hello? Are you... in the air vents?>Wake didn't know what to make of what the childish voice was saying. Why was he talking about... 'naptime'? >He shook his head and reached into his messenger bag, looking for his flashlight so he could try to get a good look at the thing hiding up there in the dark.Hold on little guy, maybe we can get you out of there...
>>24541899>[ It's either the spotlight or the pillow. Take your pick. The bricks or the Narcolepsy. ]"Yes! I'm here. No need for help. I get out on my own! I'm BIIIIIIG and STROONG! Watch me!">[ Cyan eyes recede deeper into the vent. Fading into the dark... Suddenly, the vent's metal grating flies off the hinges, as if hit with something very fast and hard. Careful, the metal grating might hit you, Alan! ]>[ Moments later, a pillow flies out the vent, landing on the bar floor with a soft impact. And here comes the source, the stevedore's favorite lil' eeyp griffin. Jumping out and landing on the pillow. One hand outstretched, and a candle with a cyan flame falls out of the vent, which the creature caught in mid-fall. ]"See!See! Nice nap helps! Now I'm STROONG! Then comes 'nother naptime. Hiiiii~friend! I'MM REM!">[ Look at him wave at ya Wake. See, he isn't that dangerous! Apart from an oddly unsettling gaze, dark feathers, and what looks like starlight scrolling along his body. ]>[ But look at his cute hat and pajamas! ]

>>24542007>In the seconds it took for Wake to retrieve his flashlight and point it up at the vent, the eyes had disappeared into the darkness...Where'd he-?>The Writer then had to duck halfway under the table when the vent hood suddenly shot from the wall, barely giving him the time to yelp in response as the metal slammed against the wall and fell to the wayside.>Frazzled but unharmed, Wake quickly looked back up at the wall in time to see something large and... odd, come tumbling out of it. Instinctively, he pointed the flashlight at the creature, but he lowered the beam when the little fella spoke up again.Oh. You're... that.>Wake wasn't sure what he should have expected. Usually, when something came booming out from the shadows, it was looking to tear him to ribbons. So seeing this... small, bird-like creature come spilling out in front of him, left the man briefly stunned by its apparent innocence.>It took him a minute to find his voice again.Uh... hi there, Rem? I'm... Alan. Alan Wake.>A pause.... What are you? You don't look like you're from the Dark Place. But looks can be deceiving...
Test
>>24542116Blue...
>>24542024>[ You ask what this little guy is...? ]"I'M REM!">[ He'll answer with his name again. ]"Silly! I said my name already! Hey, your name is WAKE....‽ I'm good at sleeping! You must be good at waking! We opposites!">[ Wait.....] "Is that a good thing...?">[ Slight head tilt. Even a dream beast, even if his a child, the humor of meeting a man with the name Wake isn't lost on him. Besides, do you really think this lil'guy would hurt you, Wake? ...Well... Just don't threaten him. Okay. ]"Wha's the dark place? Is that a place where you go to dream? Eyes close to sleep, always dark first, is that dark place? Must be lonely, Good dreams bring color and light! No more dark place! But then you have bad dreams, they bring colors, too... I don't like bad dreams... They scary sometime...">[ Ears droop downwards. His cyan eyes changed shape once more. The circles' tops slant upward, while the overall shape sags slightly at the bottom."Do you have dreams, Wake? Good and bad?">>24542116(Did you pass?)
>>24542181>>24542104https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2W7ffR0G6g
>>24542183Oops. Question how many things are on hold now?
>>24542194>Uhm, with relations to you...>The thing with Rem, Mina, and the Zaku, and then the one with just the Ne-class and the USNC. I think.>...I feel I'm missing something, but I'm not sure.
>>24542534I see. Seems accurate enough, I think. Don't know about anything else to be honest. Now Take this image and bump this trackhttps://youtu.be/6nzvWZ3sWiU?si=ECDvFaQ25Vk9NMv7
>>24542181Yes I did, whenever my browser updates, it takes a while for captcha to start working again
>>24542559That's different. Don't remember experiencing that when updating my browser on both mobile and my laptop. Regardless. You passed. Now have a seel as a reward for passing.
>>24542556>Captain Nyar....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnT-mQm6tF8>The Battle Assault games had good music.
>>24542181Uh... yeah, yeah, I guess we are. Funny, isn't it?>Wake managed to finally wiggle himself out from the strange seating arrangement so he could stand upright. He couldn't help but smile, even laugh, just a little bit, in the face of this strange creature. Alien as he was, he did seem to be... well, a child. It was almost as refreshing as it was jarring to see a child again, even if it were in a place as dubious as this 'Arena' world...>Regardless, the Writer then felt a pang of guilt when the child- when 'Rem', went on about the Dark Place. He shouldn't have said that, should be more careful about giving that name power. Who knows who else it could pull in if he wasn't careful.I... yeah, yeah, it was pretty lonely.>As Wake nervously jittered in place at the thought, the following question brought him some stillness. At least for the time being.Do I dream? I guess I must, mustn't I? I'm only human. I don't think we can control whether or not we have dreams.>Dreams of freedom. And nightmares brought to life.... What about you, Rem? What kind of dreams have you had to have been led to a place like this?
>>24542589By happenstance, came across physical copy of Battle Assault 2 while visiting some family. And I remembered the days playing it. That was 2 decades ago.... time flies...Jazzy Zaku's is stylish and all. I raise you this one.https://youtu.be/TWAtQvsNItw?si=68Y1cedBBhAixYoF
>>24542638>It's a shame that the Gundam fighting sphere is now forever locked in to just the Extreme Versus series.>Speaking of Gundam themes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY_-wa2PrTg
>>24542630>[ I can't wait for the inevitable plot twist in the DEEPEST LORE, where Rem is revealed to be the following: An eldritch nightmare masquerading as a child to manipulate people. Or a child of a race of eldritch nightmares that shouldn't be allowed to leave the world of dreams. Or some imaginary friend who followed his "mom" out into the physical world. Gotta wait until doorman gets voice lines regarding Rem.]>[ But for the time being, he has no malice towards anyone. Not even you, Drifter and Lash™. He's just a sleepy little griffin with a gambling addiction and suffering from bouts of greed. ]"Dreams are nice. Closed eyes see cool, nice, and scary things! Wake up untouched! I had big dream! Saw Mom in orange and black colors, followed her. Ended up in big city with lots of colorful lights. Meet silly, scary, nice, and mean people! Summoned patron, promised to send me home. Woke up here! Saw new friend in metal suit! He was silly! One hat taller than me! Then... don't remember the rest... So this must be new home! I'mma follow you around! You can be my cool-dressed uncle!">[ With mental issues! And excuse the light sprinkling of headcanon. Get the green dinosaur to write DeEp LorE already! ]>>24542654(I never actually played the Dynasty Warriors Gundam games. But the track is pretty good.)
>>24542766>I only dabbled a little back in the day. Never got far, because I was young and stupid.>That theme only gets to count for Realtype (read as: normal MS height and proportions) Knight Gundam, though. Normal Knight has like three variations of Daikessen instead.https://youtu.be/YQAJmhDoHQ8?is=zPp0ZDxpCGwLuueshttps://youtu.be/tiobS7cBYME?is=nml_ISc9ysd5FmbJhttps://youtu.be/h0WO2yS0qEk?is=ZhdX2tY4ob_JiTsK>...Six including the versions and variations from the OVA, but those are trickier to track down and are far shorter.
>>24542766>Until we get any more OFEECIAL DEEEEEEP LOOOOORE from the fellas in charge, we can just make up our own special little lore down here in HG land.>For example, there's now a non-0% chance that Rem was yoinked from his dreamscape by Wake here himself as a part of one of his stories made to further his own goals. Just as how the entire CONTROL game series might also be partially his fault.>But we're getting off track...That sounds... like a pretty big adventure, Rem.>Wake scratched at his head as he tried to absorb this brief snippet of... whatever it was that this little bird-thing had just given him. He wasn't sure what 'Summoned patron' was supposed to mean, but he had a vague gist of the rest. Even the mention of a 'friend in a metal suit' gave Wake a couple of ideas on who he could be talking about.>But then when he got to the end there, Wake's gaze sharpened as he focused back down on the little fella.You want to *follow* me? I'm, uh, I'm not sure if that's a good idea, bud. I'm not exactly a safe person to be around most of the time. Things can get...>Dangerous? Violent? Nightmarish? Anything can happen in one of his Loops. Anything but his freedom. Until now, or so it seems...... Pretty weird for me. Like someone's not quite done trying to change my story...
>>24542849>Oops, I missed the Battle Alliance version, too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ApRXHPrBCQ
>>24542849>Pst hey Aus, want to know a useless fact? It's about Transformers....kind of.
>>24542939>And after further digging, behold yet more themes; this time the SNES Gaiden battle theme, which has been appropriated as a secondary battle theme of Knight's alongside Daikessen.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0NjJfSNUIIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzurgIdDHJAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aUo_1QPww4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2NWTIVnpt8>...Knight's a big hit in Japan, they fucking love him, so he keeps showing up and getting new spins on stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if he had his own theme in Gundam Supreme Battle, but I don't think any of that game's OST has been uploaded.>>24542973>Is it the Galaxy Shuttle/Thunder Dagwon thing?>...Probably not.>Hit me.
>>24542991>So Stan Bush's The Touchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSh73d3TZcA>Great song, it's sometimes called Optimus Prime theme, even if it was written for the movie Cobra.>Well what if I told you it has a sister song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MytGMKR_IvU

>>24542849>>24542991>>24542939Your power level is showing.I'll give Gundam this, bangers. Music tracks are pure bangers. Even with some of the weaker tracks. My knowledge of Gundam is weak at best, though my favorite series will always be G-Gundam. First time exposure to the rabbit hole that was Gundam at the time. So I'm biased towards that series.
>>24543040>I mean we can try to start something if you two want.

>>24543048>>24543055>Hell yeah.>>24543047>There's no shame in that. G Gundam is a blast, even if it's a hell of a lot different from the rest of the series.

But I digress.>Wake's eyes widened a little as Rem held up his pillow. It seemed about the size of a throw pillow to him, but for the creature, it seemed almost perfect for him.Must be a pretty good pillow then if you're so unstoppable.>He spoke with the tone of a man humoring a child's imagination. But there was a part of him that didn't need much convincing of its supposed power. He's searching for a light switch with the power to change reality itself, after all. He knows better than to look past the little things.>... Of course, when Rem followed it up with that last statement, he couldn't help but be a bit concerned about just how 'lucky' that pillow was.I... I see. Well, let's... try to avoid making anyone 'sleep forever' if we can help it. I'd like to avoid any unecessary trouble if I can help it.>Wake sighed as he examined the creature further. He was a strange thing; not quite a bird, and not quite much else. Instinctively, there was a part of him that was made uneasy by his features. Wake has had some troublesome run-ins with birds in his past...>He also still wasn't sure about this 'Uncle Wake' idea either. But he couldn't just... leave a child to fend for itself in this reality, could he?I don't suppose you've got any ideas about where we are, do you Rem? I've been trying to figure out more about this whole place, but so far, I'm not making much progress.>... Is he talking about the karaoke bar...?
>>24543106Hey there! >Claire, first on the scene!So, I was doing something, but I forgot to ask if I could bring a friend. That's fine, right?
>>24543106>Heck yeah.>Eagle-1 steps towards the pod, inspecting it with weary eyes.You know, it ain't easy to trust a flying vehicle I'm not in control of..>She steps inside to further investigate, eyeing the interior curiously.>>24543118Huh? Didn't hear we were allowed a plus one to this little party.
>>24543118>>24543130As long as your guest is qualified in the same field as you.>This is going to be a cramped ride.
>>24543134>>24543130Good! >She was already turning around and running off before the voice was done...Because I brought three!>One carrying herself with a degree of self-assured grace, a short-hair being quite literally dragged along by Claire, and the one in the ponytail is simply along for the ride with how calm she's coming off as.C'mon, c'mon!>YOU said the probe was big! You're not gonna bring size and scale consistency in to this, are you? Heheheh.>I couldn't pick which, so I picked "yes".
>>24543144Pretend I specified her coming back with them in tow. I smart.
>>24543134>>24543144>Eagle-1 glances at the probe then back at the assembled party behind her.What did you people carpool here or something?>She does little to hide the annoyance on her face. Regardless of her feelings about the accommodations, the pilot moves to finds a secure place inside the probe and awaits transit.Suck in your gut ladies, hope you ain't expecting much leg room.
>>24543144>>24543171...This will do nicely, please enter the pod.>Once everyone was in the pod, it went into the water.>The pod travel is horrible, dark, and full of sudden twists and turns. >When it surfaced on a new beach front the group would be greeted by a large gate....And King Grimlock himself!..hhrrmm, this them?
>>24538698Didn't see this till just now. I'll prepare a reply for when everyone is back.
>>24543186>>24543171>See, I knew it was conveniently just big enough."I assure you, I am in far too good a shape to need to suck in anything.">While long-hair is boasting, the ponytailed girl just sighs and shakes her head as those two give in, leaving Claire to physically shove the last one in ahead of her.[C-Claire! I'm claustr-]No you're not!>Claire laughs off her alleged friend's attempts to weasel out of this. Sudden moving around? That's nothing for a pilot, right? You get used to those G-Forces.>The grumbler's the first one out, stumbling and falling on to her rear after she tries stopping upon seeing Grimlock.[What the-?]Whoa, cool!
>>24543186>>24543219Jeez.. I'm not sure who's elbow was in my neck on that ride, but I'm gonna shove my boot in your->She pauses as she comes face to face with the largest robot she's ever seen.Automaton..!>She grips the handle of her hand cannon instinctively, stopping just short of drawing the weapon. >Odd.. this one looked alot different from usual, and not just because it was massive.
>>24543219>>24543260"Yes King Grimlock, these are the candidates that match what you asked for."Combat pilots, good! >Grim looks down at the group.Me King Grimlock, you all selected for skills me need.>The metal king goes over to the large gate, pushing it open.You next step in fight with not just Decepticons, but all threats here! >The group can hear sounds of animals behind the gate as it opens.
>>24543260>>24543279>Whoever it was, they're not telling!>The grumbler has dusts herself off and adjusts her headset to fix its' position as she gets back up.[W-wait a minute, I'm an operator! You know, like a-]Like a special operations![No!]>It's too late, Claire's already thrown an arm over her shoulder and is towing her along to take a look, Ponytail following as the fancy one lingers for a moment."Now, I must confess, we are ALL a bit out of our depth here, but I am sure that there is a good reason for all of this, yes?">You can feel the airs she's putting on.
>>24543279>>24543294Grim..Lock..?>Eagle-1 looks around, confused and concerned. Was she the only one freaking out about the giant robot?>No point being the only one panicking, take a deep breath girl and be cool.Well if you were after an ace pilot, you got one. Is the mission over there?>She stares at the gate with a perplexed expression.Why does it sound like a zoo..?
>>24543294>>24543323>The group would see them in all their splendour and horror.>The Zoids.
>>24543294>>24543323>>24543331Them Zoids, they need pilots, that why Grimlock call on you all.>Grimlock steps a side letting the group get a full scope of this.You up to it?
>>24543331>>24543323Claire: Whoa.Whiner: A-ah...A.C.E...?>That was just pronounced "ace", for the record. The other three share perplexed looks with each other, then over to Claire, who's just grinning ear to ear.Claire: Well, I'm actually kinda busy doing other stuff so I can't stay moored to one place for long...which is why I thought I'd have my friends tag in! Even if that's cool.Whiner: W-wait a second, I'm still-...ugh...do I at least get paid...?Fancy: Hmph. Something like this is nothing to a lady of my caliber, if I do say so myself~.Ponytail: ...There's still a lot of questions, but I trust Claire's instincts. I'll give it a shot.
>>24543331>>24543343>>24543369>Eagle-1 stared at the colossal machines in utter incredulity, the scale of them alone was breathtaking. Machines like these couldn't possibly be real, yet here they were.Sweet Liberty..>The moment her eyes landed on the firepower they were sporting, her surprise gave way to hot blooded eagerness. Still, caution halted her before she rushed up and just grabbed one.What's the catch metal man? You really just handing out big guns to every crack pilot you meet? >She gestures to the zoids.I won't say no to that, but surely you're handing me the keys for a reason.
>>24543369>>24543384Yes say yes, you get zoids, you work for Grimlock.>Sounds simple.Yes humans get paid, medical, blah blah human stuff.>Going to cut it here.
>>24543384>>24543389Whiner: Tch...at least there's that....>She's grumbling, but for some reason, she's not saying no. Maybe she IS curious.Fancy: I take it we'll be getting our pick of the litter?>Fair enough.
>>24543389>Grimlock gives all his employees medical? Quality boss this one.>Eagle-1 gives a shrug.Why not?You got yourself a deal Grimlock. Long as you don't mind me doing a bit of joy riding in one these.>>24543406Good questions..>She's already eyeing a couple up eagerly.>>24543389>Thanks for the invite! Looking forward to this.
>>24538847>Oh dang.. I missed this too. Thanks Spook Man! Much appreciated.>Great selection on the video btw lol.
Lurkers?

Especially feet ghost, lesbian wolf, Rem's anti-fed papa and RIZZtor.)"Yeah, it is! Pillow good for sleeping! And putting jerks to sleep!">[ Probably not the best idea to feed into Rem's developing ego. Lest he become a mini Lash™. If that stevedore ever got his hands on Rem, he'd probably make him a mascot for his charity foundation and call him something like Lil'Lash™. ]"You don't wanna make jerks sleep forever...? OKAY! I won't either! Unless I have to... Pillow hits hard! Dummies fall down and die! Sometimes funny! Sometimes sad! Sometimes bullies deserve IT!">[ Voice indicates Rem knows what killing means. Whether he likes it or not is up to interpretation. Or it will be a Pyro vision situation from Rem's PoV. Being a mix of different animals, it's best to describe him as a chimera or a griffin. Given his avian face, cat paws, and lion's tail. Probably more appropriate to describe the sleepy boy as a griffin for clarity's sake. ]"I'dunno.">[ Best way to describe 99% of the HaitchGeeVerse canon. ]"Woke up in little room, and climbed through holes in wall.

It must have been something traumatic for the little griffin. ]
