Summer has begun and with it has come a heat that, in comparison with the frigid winters the Post Office is known for, feels tedious and oppressing. Every night heat-based electrical storms fill the skies with not a clap of thunder, but still lighting up the clouds in an eery yet beautiful display.
One morning after such a storm the newspaper arrives at the Post Office from the village at the foot of the mountain. But instead of the usual small-town banter, the front page bears something much more interesting. In large, black letters it reads;
"LATE-NIGHT EXPLOSION ROCKS THE NORTHWEST"
Late-night? Explosion?! Now this is the kinda news I'm talkin' about! The article continues on to detail how last night, at approximately 2:30am, a crash was heard during the storm. However, rather than being dismissable as thunder, it was apparently so heavy that it shook the very foundation of homes and even sent some into terrible states of vertigo. "As if the sky itself had shattered in two" one resident was quoted as saying.
Come to think of it, you did hear something last night. It had seemed like a dream at the time! As you make your way to the yard behind the Post Office, you notice a large group of Eoghan and messengers alike all talking to one another in hushed tones; the subject on everyone's lips (and beaks) being last night.
From what you can gather, it seems that all the Eotronians; Eobots and Deceptighans that is; have felt strange ever since. One described it as "like having an Insecticon buzzing around in your processor... and Insecticon that's on fire."
You're not entirely sure what that means, but it doesn't sound pleasant.
Though there are several theories being tossed back and forth, the general concensus seems to be this; if whatever happened during that storm last night was big enough to affect both organics and bots, it couldn't be normal.
And so, a team is being assembled. Because most Eotronians cannot fly, a land-route is charted for the journey. The plan is for whomever should volunteer to make their way towards the grasslands, crossing a small section of forest first before coming to a split section of river. After a scheduled break here, they will continue north through the grasslands towards the edge of the twin mountains. Rather than bother crossing the first mountain and wasting precious energy, the team will travel around the edge of it past the valley in the middle, to the north-most part of the mountains and forests' border.

[ General Rules ]
[1] Personal drama is a no-no. If you and other user are having an issue, please take it to PMs.
[2] Do not whine, beg, cry or pout about...anything. Any such negativity will result in the door hittin' ya where the Deceptighan shoulda bit ya'. ;3
[3] Do not spam or bump the thread.
[4] No advertising.
[5] Please keep OOC talk to a minimum. If you'd like to have an OOC conversation with someone, please take it to the main thread or the main event thread.
[6] Do not PM MazokuPS or EoghanSlenin about the shop. If you have a question, feel free to post it here or in the main thread.
[7] Follow the Gaia TOS.
[8] The times indicated in post one are only general guesses. Don't forget that RL issues always come first, and therefore these times are prone to changes. Therefore, this metaplot has the potential to run beyond the ending date of the main event.
[9] Once you've submitted an RP post, please do not make any major edits to it (spelling/grammar corrections are okay). It can mess others up- especially in an active RP.
[9] Have fun~!! <3
[10] READ THE RULES.
[ RP Rules ]
On top of our own rules, we follow  . Please give it a read~!!
[1] Remember that Eoghan, Faeghan, Solas, Pygmies, and Ailine are the only shop species who can communicate verbally with humans. Minis and Kel'ashe cannot. All pets species can communicate with each other, however.
[2] No controlling someone else's pet without their permission. If you wish to loan a pet to a friend for the event, that is alright. HOWEVER, make sure they are very familiar with the pet's personality and mannerisms.
[3] No quote towers.
[4] Before jumping into a non-scheduled running RP, ask first! It's only polite. :3
[5] Do your best to make others feel included and are given an chance to RP. We're all here to have fun, after all!
[8]
[ Event-Specific RP Rules ]
[1] This event is not limited only to Transformers Eoghan. Any shop species may participate!
[2] RPing yourself or your messenger character (one or the other) is optional; not required.
[3] Everyone is allowed to RP a maximum of four pets in this event (all shop species included).
[4] Keep your RP posts to a minimum of 3 lines. One-liners are a no-no.
[5] Want to start a private RP with one or two other owners as a subplot? Feel free to start a thread for it here in this forum! One month after the plot's end, the thread will be moved to the mountains subforum for archival/finishing purposes.
[6] There are no current plans for any characters to be slagged (KILLED) in this plot. However, you are free to do what you will with your pets in private RPs ( QAQ;; ). Any injuries that happen during the main RP though must be kept to non-life threatening.
[7] RPing interesting things is one thing, but do your best not to glory-hog. I know it can be tough in very large RPs, so be aware of yourselves! As stated before- you're free to start subplot threads in this forum should you wish.
[8] It's been a while since we last had a metaplot, so I'm not sure how many people will be joining in. Therefore, if things get really crowded in here, make the best of it! Don't get sad if no one responds to your post- keep trying! C:
[9] Don't own anything from the shop (yet)? You're free to play as yourself/OC if you'd like! Just make sure you give your character a reason for being there and why they want to tag along in your intro RP post.
[10] Be aware of a character's strengths and weaknesses. Transformers Eoghan, being robotic, are inherently much stronger and somewhat larger than organic Eoghan. But that doesn't mean you should think your organic Eoghan is weak or not as good! Are they fast? Crafty? Down-right brave? You bet they can be!
[11] I had a very good question asked that I'd like to address now so as to avoid any confusion later. Weapons; to the TFerghan have them?
Physically, yes. Several even have the darned things for tails. XD But they do not generate any ammunition on this planet, and therefore serve as little more than fancy clubs.
Remember that the Post Office is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, with the only town being very rural. Therefore, unless it's something the Eoghan could conceivably get the supplies to make something with, weapons are a no. Beaks, claws and guts are their firepower. >3

"Roll out!!"[ Your Username ] MazokuPS [ Your RP/OC's Name (if using one) ] Not using one (though if I was, it would be "Mazo"). [ The Pets You'll Be Using (if any; a maximum of 4) ] Bumblebee, Tori, "PJ", and Suncast. [ Your Response ] Slowly but surely, the clouds of last night's storm began to dither against the summer sun's heat. A mist rose from the ground, shrouding the vast lawns behind the Post Office. Besides the fact that the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife, now it quite literally looked that way too. Everywhere small to large groups of Eoghan, messengers, and a variety of species alike were preparing for the journey ahead. The tension seemed to have no effect on Suncast, though. The young femme could barely stay still as she bounced about excitedly! "What time is it? Who has a clock? Are we leaving yet?"PJ sighed. The ninja not only in practice, but personality as well, was somewhat out of his element in this large group. And much less so when around Suncast. Raising a paw, he snatched Suncast's tail, stopping her in her tracks. "You must've be so impatient. Simply remain still and the time will come."Bumblebee let out a loud laugh. "Relax, the both of you! Everything's going to be fine!" This was something he had been trying to convince himself of all morning. But really, why wouldn't it be? They were all going together, and it was only an exploratory mission. No word had come of any enemy they needed to prepare to engage, so why panic? Though small for an Eobot, Bumblebee was brave and even though not 100% convinced was up to the challenge. The one organic of the group was Tori, and though she did her best not to show it, may have been more excited than the other three combined. For what seemed like forever she had been eager for the chance to prove herself to the Eotronians; to prove that she was more than just "their squishy little Earth-friend". Perhaps they didn't even see her that way; perhaps they did. Deep down the truth may have been that she wanted to show this to herself more than anyone and erase any feelings of being an "outsider" amongst them. No one knew what they would come upon on their trip, but she would be ready! Tori pumped a paw in the air, a determined grin on her face. "I'm not gonna die!"(( And that's the way you doooo iiittt~!!" ))

"Roll out!!"
[ Your Username ] NovaCracker
[ Your RP/OC's Name (if using one) ] Nova
[ The Pets You'll Be Using (if any; a maximum of 4) ] Ironhide, Novatron, Speed Star, Yui
[ Your Response ]
Ever since the storm, the Eoghan and Eotronian had been spooked. Less so Ironhide, but the others were... On edge. It had been enough for the Eotronian, Ironhide, to talk his adopted son into remaining to guard the house. It had been another to talk Novatron into remaining as well. Truth be told, the bizzare Eoghan had essentially insisted she go. There may have even been fighting, exceot the unspeakable happened. Speed Star wanted to go too, and Novatron was protective of her hatchling, grown she was. Yui was the last one-- Ironhide had wanted to go alone.
Yui was going to annoy NT, something the male was less than happy about. For now, he was alpha in a small flock of females. They had crept out early, beneith what they thought was their messenger's nose, but, surprise surprise, the female was waiting at the Post Office. Ironhide smirked. He and Yui were eldest, before the younger 'Ghans had come. Of the two, Ironhide was fondest of his messenger, and the male padded over, massive head nosing under her hand, a gesture of trust he saved for those closest to him, dominantly, his hatchling, and his adopted family on Earth.
"Didn't expect ter see yeh here...." The male rumbled. Nova turn, smiling, and rubbed under his chin.
"After the news? I couldn't stay home. Kiev was hiding under my bed, mostly. And besides... I knew you'd go, big guy. I don't like the idea of you possibly being hurt."
Ironhide grunted.
"Me? Hurt? HAH! Ahm tough as nails, darlin'. T'ain't nothin' ter worry fer."
Nova shrugged.
"Still, I worry about you guys."
"You'd worry about a mouse." Yui padded over, hissing sharply. The Soot Eoghan always had been sarcastic and slightly dark. "But if your coming, then fine."
"I don't... I don't mind her coming." Speed Star spoke softly, timid. She crept over, tail curling around. Novatron followed.
"Yeah. Could help, at least. We don't know what we're fighting." The Eoghan's fluffy tail switched, claws flexing in a feline manner. Normally very chaotic and disorienting, the severity, or potential of severity, had her attentive, alert, and focused. Yui grunted, but their Messenger's sharp look got them in line. Novatron spoke again.
"Besides, big brother, we don't want you hurt." NT nuzzled the make in a rare tender moment of sibling affection, and Yui yawned.
"There'll be other Eobots." She grunted. NT grunted back.
"Oh, probably. But Hidey's all we've got. Frankly, I don't want to buy more heavy artillary in case he doesn't make it."
All eyes turned to the green haired Eoghan. This was going to be a looooong trip.

"Roll out!!"[ Your Username ] Taerar Licorne [ Your RP/OC's Name (if using one) ] Not using one [ The Pets You'll Be Using (if any; a maximum of 4) ] Starscream, Soundwave, Frenzy, and Cornelius[ Your Response ] Starscream hissed softly to himself as he looked down at the Post Office from his position in the sky. His optics' glow was dark with annoyance, and he was sorely tempted to simply turn around and head back to his cavern in the mountains. If it were not for that downright infuriating sensation in his processor, he simply would not have anything to do with this whole situation in all its absurdity. At least, that was what he kept telling himself. If he was honest with himself, he would admit that he was also going to keep an optic on his brood who insisted on joining in the investigation.
Coldwave and Wright were at the cavern where Starscream told them to stay until he returned. Wright he was pretty sure would obey - hopefully, Coldwave would follow his positive example. Hopefully. Harmony and Suncast, however, insisted upon exploring, much to Starscream's frustration, and he was not about to let them traverse from the mountains to the Post Office and back to the mountains with a group of strangers and Eobots - not without him there to claw the faces of anyone who dared look at his sparklings the wrong way, and when Cornelius heard his adopted matre was going to be gone for several days, the clingy organic could not be persuaded to stay behind. So, with the orange and white organic flying as close to him as he could, Starscream continued to circle the sky above the Post Office, slowly descending like an enormous metal vulture in an attempt to feign casual interest in the goings on.
Below, Soundwave made his way slowly to the designated meeting area for the investigation team, Frenzy, one of his pygmies, riding on his head. He made his way carefully through the crowd of the Post Office, paranoid about accidentally stepping on one of the much smaller - and much messier - organic creatures which populated this world. The last thing he needed or wanted was feathers, fur, and icky red slag stuck in the joints of his feet because he was not looking where he was stepping.
Frenzy watched the organics with no small amount of fascination from his perch atop Soundwave. He found them quite amusing even if they were leaky, noisy, and, frankly, kind of gross. He was also watching the ground for any sign of his purple twin - Rumble was not sure if he wanted to join the investigation or not last they talked to him that morning, but Frenzy knew his brother. He was quite sure Rumble's curiosity was bound to get the better of him before the group left the Post Office, so he kept watching the ground at the same time he continually berrated Soundwave with the same question:
"Are we there yet?"
