As the ground began to tremble beneath her feet, Iruru was torn between two options: hiding or fleeing. She looked around, searching for something like a large rock or a fallen tree, but nothing in her close proximity offered a sufficient cover.

There was a set of bushes, though, and she duck behind those, now extending her arm to her side. The air shimmered, and a sniper rifle materialized into her grip. She moved next to a small rock, supported the rifle against it and did a personal speed record of checking the weapon's functionality. Then she looked up and came to two startling realizations.

One: the creature that had appeared was so big that it could easily see over the bushes.

Two: it was nothing like Iruru had ever seen before.

While the Keronian was still trying to grasp what she was looking at, the thing began to shake, making an unnerving noise that brought chills to Iruru's back. She leaned behind the rifle, knowing fully well that she didn't know anything. Could the thing be hurt? Would it retaliate if Iruru tried to shoot? Or would she even have a chance to try before it would finish her off?

She was about to look through the scope when she noticed that her arms had gone purple. She looked down and realized her form had changed color. Then she looked up and saw two red eyes peering at her.

In a split second, Iruru came to a decision and the weapon disappeared from her arms. There was no point in trying to use it; she hoped that her gut feeling was correct and a peaceful demeanor was her best chance of survival. She exhaled, and her body regained its normal gray color.

As the creature leaned closer, Iruru felt herself pull back instinctively, but she didn't break the eye contact.

"Hello," she replied in a soft and careful voice, with a small nod, yet her eyes remained locked in the stranger. "I am Lance Corporal Iruru from Keron planet."

THUMP! ... THUMP! ...CREEEEAAAK...

Flocks of birds fluttered up and out of the surrounding trees, startled by the mild vibrations that began to shake through the nearby forest floor as a towering, dark and gangly form began to emerge from the depths of the wilderness. Not even remotely camouflaged like Iruru was… Mourningstar loomed on all fours like a nightmarish cryptid, her slender posture like that of a wild animal as she shook off the rainwater that drenched her metal frame.

"Brrrrr...!" The hybrid shivered, rapidly shaking in intervals until she was dry.

Once she did, her optics rattled within the hollow black sockets like two red beads before flickering, and realigning themselves. Peering down from her imposing stature, Mourningstar let out a coo once she spotted Iruru; those beady, unblinking red lights glowing amidst the voids that were her optic sockets grew bigger as she craned her long and skinny neck down to get a closer look.

“Hello…?” She greeted curiously, her voice a deep yet feminine drawl.

[iru-iru]

The moment Iruru spotted strange marks on the ground, she stopped to listen cautiously. Considering the heavy rain from the previous night, these could be no more than few hours old. Iruru had explored a few locations across Pekopon in the past, but she couldn't recall ever seeing anything of this sort.

She advanced now more carefully, scanning her surroundings for anything that might look alive or out of place. She wasn't looking for fight, and thus, didn't summon her weapon, at least not yet. All she wanted to do was to see the creature - or creatures - that had left these marks, so she could determine whether she should keep exploring or go back and move her spaceship elsewhere, out of potential harm's way.

Her yellow eyes were sharp and focused when she stopped on top of a hill to listen. Birds were still singing, which was a good sign. Somewhere in the woods ahead bubbled a river.

She began to proceed down the hill carefully, but she wasn't careful enough. Beneath a patch of crushed grass was soft mud, and the moment she stepped on it, she slipped and began to skid forward. She grunted, throwing her arms around, and took a few more slippery steps before she found a foothold again. She glanced down and saw spots of mud that were revealing her form. She wiped them off hastily and then froze still, eyes locked on her surroundings. The birds had gone quiet.

Deeper into the wilderness, all seemed normal for the most part. However, there was an abnormal set of tracks that trailed along the forest floor. It looked an awful lot like tire tracks, but there were only one set for each trail. Some more bizarre prints in the grass and dirt appeared more like massive, hands with extremely long, sharp fingers with little round indents; presumably where feet would have been if the tracks were made by a quadrupedal creature. In other places, there were neither tire tracks nor eerie hand prints, but the pair of small circular indents dotting the earth. Whatever made those tracks, it was abundantly obvious of one thing:

That they were made by something gigantic. Not just gigantic, but also possibly mechanical.

When Iruru woke up, all she could hear was the low hum of machinery within the cockpit. Last night, when she'd arrived on Pekopon, the high wind and pouring rain had forced her to make a quick landing to first clearing she'd spotted in the midst of the forest below. She remembered waiting for sleep for hours, kept awake by the storm raging outside.

Now it was quiet when she exited her spaceship. It was early morning, and the pale blue sky peeking from between the treetops was clear and cloudless. There were several pools here and there on the ground, and when the Keronian stopped to listen, she could hear water dripping from leaves and branches. A bird sang somewhere. A voice of the forest, she thought, singing after the storm.

Iruru walked around the spaceship, making sure the camouflage was perfect and the ship hadn't been damaged by the storm. Then, checking once more she'd changed her own colors to match her surroundings, she left to explore the forest.

first meeting AU prompts

           -> or just prompts for first meetings!

[Kidnapped]       A and B are total strangers with nothing in common, except this: they are both in the trunk of a car, with their wrists tied together, back to back, and probably an injury or two. (or they wake up in a room together? feel free to alter as needed)

[Woods]       A is camping somewhere. B is camping nearby. Somebody wants A dead, and they’re camping in the woods, too. (‘Hi nice to meet you sorry to say this but I’m being hunted and if they find you you’ll definitely be killed so we need to go now.’)

[Woods x 2]       A is camping somewhere. B is bloody and bruised and maybe running on adrenaline, but they have just escaped from a place they were being held (or maybe they’ve just been lost, for days?), and they’re stumbling blind through the woods. B stumbles on A’s campsite.

[Alley]       A is trying to get home late at night, but is being harassed (even abused?) in an alley by the villains of our story. B happens to be walking by.

[Undercover]       A is an undercover cop, or a reluctant gang member. B is a trafficking victim. Our story isn’t A saves B - our story is A needs to work with B to find an opportunity to free the rest, and A is sorry, and it’s dangerous, but A needs B’s help anyway.

[Disaster]       A and B are in a natural (or manmade) disaster/emergency situation together. A traffic accident, a flood, fires, the like. They’ve never met before, but they need to work together, either to get themselves out safely or to help others get to safety (or both).

[Flowershop]       A works in a flowershop to cover a shift for a friend who needed to go out of town for something. B either needs flowers or is the recipient of flowers (a thank you, etc) which A delivers.

[Neighbours]       A and B are neighbours, because A recently moved in/moved to town/etc. Their first meeting is neighbourly - maybe to borrow a cup of sugar, to say hello and meet the neighbours, or let them know they can definitely hear them having sex, please put the bedhead against the other wall.

[Allergies]       A is anaphylactic-allergic to something. B happens to know how to use an adrenaline auto-injector (EpiPen). (Alternatively: they don’t know how to use one, and accidentally inject themselves, instead of their patient. Don’t put your thumb over the end, folks.)

[Property]       A has been burgled, and is sad to have lost (important item/items). B finds the item, alongside A’s emptied-out wallet, which happens to have A’s address. They swing by to return the lost items.

[Media]       A has been in the news a lot lately, maybe because they were the victim of a crime, or they committed a crime (feel free to fill in details). B sees A being heckled/harassed about it in a coffeeshop or bar by people who Weren’t There, and A obviously isn’t enjoying the conversation, so B steps in.

The approaching sound of flying board caught Iruru's attention, and she looked up just in time to catch the airborne vehicle fly past above her. As it landed in a spot nearby, right at the edge of woods, Iruru stood up from where she's been sitting in wait. Her clothes and skin that'd matched the pattern of bushes behind her returned to their normal colors.

She began to walk towards the other keronian, and as soon as he looked at her way, she raised her hand a little as a greeting.

"Tariri, I assume?" she asked, quite certain this was the person she was sent to assist; the chances of meeting another single keronian in the middle of nowhere were quite nonexistent. She stopped at what she estimated to be an appropriate distance and saluted. "Lance Corporal Iruru, at your service."

// Starter for @iru-iru ! // Tariri was so used to traveling with his platoon or the very least with his partner when it came to missions that it felt weird to be send on one alone. There was nothing to be done since Shitata was needed elsewhere and neither Kurere nor Patoto were fit for this mission, or that's what Nofufu had said. At least Tariri didn't have to be completely alone since his team leader had contacted another keronian to come assist him. Something about protection from possible danger if there would be issues. How reassuring! Tariri got dropped off to Pekopon where he made his way to the agreed meeting spot by himself. If there was something that calmed his nerves a little was that he was somewhat familiar with this planet if nothing else. As Tariri finally arrived to his destination, he hoped off his flying board and looked around to see if his companion would already be here.

It had been a stormy night in Griffin Rock. The city had been tormented by strong gusts of wind and pelting rain that had turned into hail at some point. Roads had become slippery and trees had been torn off their roots.

In the midst of all this, a small spaceship had made an emergency landing, crashing into the forest and stopping at the foot of Mount Griffin.

As morning came, the wind finally died down and the sharp hail was replaced by a gentle snowfall. For a while, the forest was silent. Then the door of the spaceship opened with a soft hiss.

Iruru stepped outside and quickly changed her colors to match her surroundings. However, the makeshift sling she'd folded from a spare blanket to support her left arm stuck out like a sore thumb.

Feeling vulnerable, she reached out with her healthy arm. The air shimmered momentarily before a sniper rifle appeared from the subspace into her hand. Holding the weapon tightly against her body, Iruru began to walk around her spaceship.

She tried not to let the despair get to her when she saw the damage the meteor storm had done to the ship. Her communication tools were offline, too... and no-one knew she was here on Pekopon.

Iruru made sure that her spaceship's anti-barrier was on, keeping the ship invisible to any potential spectators, before she let it descend to a secluded part of the beach surrounding the island Pekoponians called Griffin Rock. Once it came to a stop, she stepped outside, surprised by the lingering warmth of the sand beneath her feet.

It was late evening, and the sun barely peeked from behind the sea-filled horizon, leaking its warm hues on the water and clouds above. Iruru took a deep breath, then turned her colors to match the surrounding sand and began to wander aimlessly along the shore.

She'd spent the last few days waiting for her next mission, but all Keron Army had told her was to stay put. The platoon located on the other side of the sea had not requested any further assistance, and apparently other platoons outside Pekopon were doing perfectly well, too.

Finally Iruru had grown tired of waiting and flied over here, hoping to learn more about Pekopon - at least that had seemed like a beneficial use of time. This was her second day on Griffin Rock, but she hadn't made a contact with any local species so far.

As she circled around a patch of thick woods towering over the beach, something large came into view. She continued to walk towards what she assumed to be a building, but when it moved, she halted. Shocked, she didn't dare to move.

Was it living... and if so, what living thing could be that big!?

First sensations that filled Iruru's waking consciousness were the dull pain on her forehead and her cramped position. When she opened her eyes, all she could see for a moment was bright red. It took her a moment to understand that the emergency light of her spaceship's cockpit had turned on, painting her surroundings with alarming red.

She found herself laying on the floor under the console, and she realized that the sudden crash had hurled her off her seat. She placed her hand on her forehead and winced as the pain intensified. However, there was no blood. A quick look down on her body confirmed that, at least on the outside, she had not suffered any other injuries.

Iruru got up and felt unease wash over her as she took a look at monitors above the console. The space map showed that she'd landed on Pekopon.

After finishing her last mission, Iruru had been told that another platoon was in need of extra hands after their base had been invaded by a group of hostile aliens. However, the platoon hadn't been informed of Iruru's arrival since it shouldn't have taken her longer than a day to reach their planet.

However, she'd been hit by a meteor storm on the way. One meteor had caused her to lose power, another one had sent her ship flying towards Pekopon, and then...

...she'd landed here. But where was "here", exactly?

Iruru tapped a few buttons on the console, and soon the main monitor showed her exact location. Apparently Pekoponians called this place "Griffin Rock". The name didn't sound familiar.

Next she tried to turn on the space radio so that she could send an emergency message, but nothing happened. Another set of keystrokes brought the blueprint of her spaceship on the monitor. More than half of its parts were colored red.

Iruru slumped on her seat as the weight of her situation started to set in.

Sure, Iruru had made a few short trips to Pekopon before, but she'd always been accompanied by a platoon. Now, she was alone, in a broken spaceship, in an area she hadn't explored before... and no-one knew she was here. No-one would realize to come looking for her.
