[EVENT] Welcome to the City!

[mmdrmods]

The rift is rather quiet, lately. It has been for some time. Long-time members of the city know better though - that was only the calm before the mechanical storm. Soon enough, the rift rumbles again and a new wave of visitors begin to arrive all at once!

Some of these newcomers might notice a bright red metal device fit perfectly to their wrist. There is no apparent way to remove the device and any attempts to break it prove that it is nearly indestructible. More troubling is the ominous digital timer on the top of the device, slowly ticking down from 01:00:00. One hour.

What the new arrivals don't know is that in one hour, the devices will explode... Into confetti! The device is basically a timed Party Ball you wear on your wrist, complete with happy jingle and a teeny-tiny banner that says, "WERCOME TO HAPPY CITY, ARR OF GUEST!"

(Welcome to the DR! As with all events, this one is completely optional, but we thought we'd give you something fun to start with! The DR is now officially open to IC posts! We again ask that you please read the rules and familiarize yourself with the setting before posting! Have fun!)

feel so awkward being the first to post but here goes~

This sucked.

Not that Zero had anything against a clear summer sky, or a peaceful day in general, but it would have been nice if he had woken up in his own recharge capsule rather than discover that someone saw fit to cart him outside and place him on some random roof in some random city. That certain someone was going to pay.

So, he lied there on the concrete roof with his arms crossed and glaring at a jet plane's vapor trail. When he got back to base he was going to have a "talk" with a certain redhead, maybe even a certain blue bomber.

Zero didn't notice the device that had appeared on his person as of yet, he was too absorbed in plotting revenge against whoever pulled this stunt.

And miss linefais joined Zero's party /o/

[incapablefeelings]

Quake Woman had no idea how she appeared to point A to point B. It was a peculiar set of circumstances that was for certain. Not that it mattered. Her primary objective had been disrupted by being somehow displaced into a different city. It was hard not to notice the device upon her wrist with a the time ticking down. She had attempted to disable it but to no avail.

Quake Woman moved on in trying to sending communications to Dr. Lalinde but it had all ended in failure. Her next option was to go to higher grounds, to get a better look of her new surroundings which yes, led to the very same random rooftop Zero was laying on.

Once there, Quake Woman does take a moment to regard Zero in silence before proceeding to walk past him and closer to the edge. Surely she would be able to spot an area to seek better information from.

I squee'd. This should be interesting XD

[bigredchesticles]

Zero instantly noticed when Quake Woman clanked onto the roof, but in his sour mood he wouldn't have bothered to physically turn his head to look at her. He naturally assumed that she was just another reploid out doing whatever. Couldn't be a Maverick since every Maverick ever recognized him and immediately began shooting or gloating.

When she actually looked down at him, however, he had to blink curiously. Her design didn't look like any reploid he's ever seen; in fact, it looked old. The young lady's completely blank expression just piqued his curiosity even more, and he watched her quietly move toward the edge to get a better look around.

Okay, that was weird. He hadn't yet seen someone with such ... not empty, but blank eyes. There was intelligence in there to be sure, but not much else. Zero sat up, then rose to his feet and calmly walked to her side. Maybe she was a resident of this place.

"Do you know which city this is?" he asked.

Ohoho it shall be! 8 )

[incapablefeelings]

Quake Woman stopped her surveillance of the area when Zero spoke. Slowly she turned her gaze to him. Her expression showed no signs of change, and her voice was just as emotive.

"I do not."

She will take a moment to observe Zero closer. He certainly wasn't a model she recognized. He had to be a newer model, judging by his appearance and the peculiar style of armor he wore. Judging from his line of questioning he had to have been thrown into the same predicament as her.

"What is your identification? I do not recognize you."

Have one more lady for good measure, Zero \o\

[illtakethat]

What rooftop is complete without a ninja or two?

Marino wasn't one for staying in one place, especially not in unfamiliar surroundings with an ominous red doohickey on her wrist. The natural course of action when stuck in a potentially-sticky situation? Lay low, get a feel for the land, avoid anyone who looks like they may or may not be a police officer. Sticking to the skyline seemed like the perfect way to scope the joint out without any surprise encounters.

It would have seemed like pretty bad luck that her route had carried her right into the path of a Maverick Hunter, then, but that distinctive red armor was unmistakable. Must be her lucky day, then. The soft impact of boots meeting rooftop was the only indication of her abrupt arrival, up until she was leaning over Zero, hands on her hips.

"Well, well! Fancy running into you here."

I swear, Zero does nothing and still ladies flock to him

[bigredchesticles]

Zero was still busy grousing and plotting and occasionally growling to himself when the smiling face of a pretty woman with an obviously nice rack decided to block his view of the sky.

He thought he had heard something, but thought it was noise from the A/C units at first and had therefore ignored it.

The blonde Hunter only blinked at the pink-armored reploid and asked, "Do you know where this is? My GPS can't get a particular fix on my location." Which was strange, as natural interference was a very rare thing.

It's the booblights. Nobody can resist the booblights.

[illtakethat]

Marino stepped back, raising her shoulders in a halfhearted shrug. "Sorry, Zero, but your guess is as good as mine. Can't say I recognize anything I've seen so far. You're the first reploid I've even run into." Though that much, however, had mostly been intentional; she was in no hurry to attract attention, after all.

"Call it thief's instinct, but I'd say it's no accident we ended up here -- no GPS, teleporting's on the fritz, and someone was nice enough to give us a little present." She held up her wrist, nodding down at the red band imposed around it. "Clashes with my armor, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't look like a tracking device. Doesn't mean it's not dangerous, but it seems like we've got a pretty long leash to work with."

Fail!Tag, but here we go!

[maverickhunterx]

So, X had figured that this day was going to be the best day ever.

He'd gone through the North Pole, beaten up the X-Hunters, managed to see Zero back together in one piece, and on top of all of that he and his revived-best-friend had blown up the base and main computer in which Sigma was residing, essentially eradicating him at the source for good.

(But then of course Capcom would happen, but it wasn't as though X knew that.)

He'd felt the explosions, he'd felt the heat bore into his synthetic skin as he'd made for the teleportation device, and managed to get out...

...But then, shortly after returning to Hunter Base he'd hunkered down in his trusty recharge-bed to have a much-needed nap.

...

And he'd woken up here, next to some spare trash cans with a few rats and cats jumping around on his helmet.

So now that great day? Went from great to awful in the span of a few minutes, even if X himself was acting less angry about the whole ordeal and more...confused, smelling like old trash and wandering through the city streets in some attempt to at least figure out something about where he was.

First post and I'm already doing bad things to Rock =D;;

[botnextdoor]

Oooookay. Rock's pretty sure he'd been mowing the grass seconds prior to being in the middle of the city. The seconds it took for his robotic mind to catch up with where he was was just enough time to realize he's now in the middle of the road as well. He leaped out of the way of incoming traffic and pressed his back against the nearest building. A quick scan of his memory for any hiccups or glitches provided a clean report. Besides almost getting flattened by a truck, everything was in order.

That meant one thing in his mind. Whatever had happened? Whatever had brought him here, far from home? Was Wily's fault.

8D This is to be expected~

[maverickhunterx]

...Did X just see that?

A robot appear in the middle of a road, dodge a truck, and then run to the building adjacent him?

...Either this Reploid (was it a Reploid, even? He couldn't imagine many humans traveling via teleportation, he supposed) ended up reaching the wrong coordinates or he had the absolute worst nav programs available.

In either case, something was obviously wrong.

X's hero-instincts clicked into overdrive as he jogged towards the newcomer, questions on his mind but concern falling from his lips:

"Are you all right?"

>D

[botnextdoor]

Rock took a couple breaths to cool his processors as they slowed a bit from the near death. He was about to glance down at the odd thing he felt around his wrist when a taller robot (what else could it be with armor like that, a cosplayer?) came jogging over to see if he was okay.

"I think so," he sighed, looking up with a sheepish smile. He probably looked pretty stupid, almost getting hit by a truck like that.

Woo! 8 D

[blowthrough]

Tornado Man had no idea how he a short trip away from Dr. Light's lab would land him to a city he did not recognize in the least. His attempts at contacting anyone back home wasn't working. It was as if there was some sort of interference.

He opted to wander through the streets as well, hoping to find someone who could set him in the right direction. Or at least see a familiar face which he did. Sort of. In a form of X.

He doesn't hide his surprise as he quickly approached.

"Rock?" ...but it couldn't be him. That appearance, and that face. It was similar despite notable differences. "Who are you?"

As if this could ever be a fail!tag ♥

[iamthemessiah]

Oh could he feel it. It wasn't the same feeling as with Zero, but it was enough to get this body shaking for the desire to have that body in his death grip.

He hadn't been in his location for long, he could recall his suit tearing away before he readied himself for the battle with that fake. Yet, here he was, a whole new location. It didn't take that long to find the body he was searching for, although naturally Omega kept his mind peeled for that fake as well. While his mind wanted to find Zero, this body wanted to find someone else all together.

X was within range for Omega, took less than two minutes to get to his location, with the Messiah standing not too far away, keeping out of sight for the time being. It wasn't the X he was familiar with, but still an X nonetheless. And if he could use this X to get what he wanted, well...

Zero was better when he was broken into pieces.

Slowly, Omega begins to approach the young X, holding out his hand, his O-Saber coming to his grip. There's a smirk at his lips, his glowing red eyes narrowed, attention fully on the body in front of him.

"X."

derp tag is go!!!

[megabusters]

[Other than his processors going "where the hell am I" right now, as well not being able to contact Dr. Light or Roll at the lab, this spells trouble for little boy blue here. And he's not too happy about it either. For now, he'll just fiddle with the device on his wrist. It seems that he's doing what he could to take it off right now. Hrm.]

hello hello, big bro of best friend.... 8)

[dividedby]

[...Hm. Can't say he was expecting to go from the explosion of Ragnarok to...this.

Wherever he is.

Needless to say, Zero's quite confused and a bit disoriented. He can't seem to contact Ciel, and there's this weird red device on his wrist that he can't seem to remove. First order of business, then: find a local and bother them with questions about where he is and what's going on.

Fortunately, there's a small Reploid boy nearby, although he seems to be just as confused as Zero himself. He'll approach him anyway. Somebody's better than nobody, after all.]

Hey. What's going on here?

[...hm. Strange. Is it just him, or does this kid look an awful lot like...]

kyaah kyaah lilbro's bestie /o\

[megabusters]

[Rock then stopped fiddling on the said device, now eyes on the other robot.]

I'm not sure. I've just got here, and I can't pinpoint where we are right now...

/o/ |o| \o\ !

[dividedby]

Neither can I...

[This is kind of a problem, if neither one of them had any idea... Maybe Zero should try to find someone else nearby. Or better yet, both of them should go together. Wouldn't want to leave a kid by himself when he seemed to be lost, too.

...But first. There's something about this kid...why does he look so familiar somehow? Just like...]

Who are you, anyway?

derp tags? From my raibaru? UNACCEPTABLE....

[incapablefeelings]

[Honestly when Quake Woman was seeking a next set of coordinates to go to, she didn't have Mega Man in mind. Regardless a familiar face was better than none. She walked over before taking a pause to stare to take note that he too, had the same device on his wrist.]

Attempts to remove the device has been futile. There is a possibility a specific key or trigger is needed for it.

[She spoke while making her way to his side.]

WELL DEAL WITH IT /derps on you forever

[megabusters]

Ah, yeah I've noticed.

[He'll stop with what he was doing and proceed to sheepishly rub the back of his head.]

Say, do you know where I am right now?

[Because until now, his GPS still isn't responding, and is unsure why. It was rather troubling for Rock here.]

[srselectricbot]

[He was walking home from work even though he wasn't in the best mood to do so, when he suddenly finds himself here. He's understandably confused by this. After he tries and fails to remove the device, he starts wandering around trying to figure out where he is.

He stops when he notices Rock. While he's relieved that he isn't alone, he's concerned about him since the copy bot did die yesterday. He walks slowly towards him.] Rock? What are you doing here?

[megabusters]

[Well hey, a familiar face! Good to know he's not alone in this.]

I'm not so sure. I just got here.

[letsplaydoctor]

A big city was not where she was just a moment ago, in fact for Wily she was about to throw something at that stupid Rock as he was mowing Light's lawn. Just to get the robot's attention, of course, not for any dastardly reason. But then she was here.

Where ever here is. And with a stupid device on her wrist to boot. So now she's stomping about making frustrated noises at everything she sees, hoping to find something familiar, and mentally blaming this on Rock.

Hi I like your AU :3c

[plays_it_loud]

It certainly wasn't where Forte was a moment ago, either. Given, he'd expected to be somewhere else since he'd just activated his teleportation system after beating the snot out of his Wily's latest Final Boss Machine of Doom, but this was definitely not his intended destination.

The way his internal GPS abruptly starts giving him errors attests to that, never mind the fact that Gospel's signal has completely dropped out of range. He REALLY doesn't like that part.

So the first thing he does after appearing on the street is step back, taking in his surroundings with a look somewhere between alarm and anger, and almost runs into a certain frustrated girl.

Naturally, his immediate reaction is to whirl around and snap at her.

"Hey! Watch it!"

He's looking a little worse for the wear - there are plasma scorches and scratches all over his armor, several visible dents in various places, and a host of minor rips and tears in his bodysuit where the armor didn't cover it. The edge of one of his helmet's crests is even a little cracked and bent.

Oh god why, this is one of the more horrid ones I play

[letsplaydoctor]

Poor Bass, since this girl doesn't want to put up with this kind of crap and her favourite victimneighbour isn't around.

She barely gives Bass a once over, noticing the state of armor and such, and scowls. Her hands on her hips too.

"Why don't you watch it, you walking piece of scrap!"

Her tone of voice might come across as a bit too... familiar, especially since it's coming from a thirteen year old girl.

[misselectricbot]

[She's standing with her arms crossed looking rather annoyed. She doesn't know where she is, couldn't get the device off, nor could she make contact with either Dr. Light or the other Lightbots through the commlink. Not to mention ruining her good day. Here she thought she was done with trouble for a while, after the whole Roboenza crisis that ended a week ago.]

Great. Just great...
