[x]Headbutt him in that stupid visor Well, fuck this damsel shit. You have places to be! Mostly not anywhere near the mercy of evil jerks with bad fashion sense! You rock your head back and then slam it hard into his stupid biker helmet visor. >Breakman took physical damage! >Breakman rolled...3! HP reduced to 25! The scarfed robot staggers, visor cracking a bit, dropping you on accident as he bites out a swear. You don’t stick around long enough to find out what his temper is like when inconvenienced-- you run as fast as your legs can carry you, rushing back to the airport building past the rest of the baffled robots. >...Switch Characters? Y/N >Y >New Character Parameters Loading...
Your name is Breakman, and you are having a...rather irritating day, to say the least.
You’re not sure what Wily is planning with this airport heist or whatever, and to be perfectly honest, you don’t care. It’s not going to work at this point, and the only thing you’re going to get out of it is a fight with Mega Man. You completely failed to ignore his monologuing, which has taken another bite out of your patience meter.
And you just got headbutted in the face by some strange girl, completely foiling your attempt at doing something somewhat useful to this plan. Your visor is now cracked, and if it wouldn’t be completely against your principles, you’d pull it off.
As it stands, you right yourself and narrow your eyes, trying to decide what to do next.

[x]RUN THOSE BASTARDS OVER!
You begin to reach for the accursed stick shift, plotting a course in your mind for New York City, when the screams from the airport hit you. Those robots clearly aren’t playing nice with their new hostages. Your fingers grip on the steering wheel, tightly, trying to stay calm. Going Die Hard never solved anything, Kalinka. What would your daddy say? What would your brothers say? Deep breaths and-- Actually no you know what, fuck it. With little more thought than that, you wheel the shuttle around and press the gas pedal to the floor, tearing through the terminals like your life depended on it. Running into the really big brick of a bot would probably be a bad idea even within this bad idea, but those two short ones-- yeah, that should work just fine. >Cutman and Iceman took environmental damage!
>Cutman rolled...7! HP reduced to 12!
>Iceman rolled...2! HP reduced to 10!
You only managed to clip the one in the parka, but the one with sheers on his head goes flying over the cab of the shuttle, landing hard if the image in your rear view mirror has any say. Also, the robots and Dr. Wily now know you’re there. “What zee--” The skullship turns to look at you, and vaguely through one of the eyeholes you can see some scrawny dude with bushy hair flailing in your direction-- the bad doctor himself, you presume. “What are you itiots schtanding around for?! Do zomething about zat!” You’re boned, but you think you can run over one more robot before they can stop you. You get the huge bus-- really, it’s so much more inconvenient than your bike but once again, beggars can’t be choosers-- and aim for the one in the scarf. You almost hit him but then suddenly he’s gone and it isn’t until you hear the plasma canon on the roof you figure out where, precisely, he got off to. The ‘BOOM!’ from him blowing a hole in the roof is deafening, but there’s no time to wince now-- if you pull to a halt and book for the doors then maybe you can-- Too late. He’s already got you by the collar and is hoisting you up. You can see his eyes glowing red behind his visor. “Don’t make this harder on yourself,” he intones, flatly. “Give up now and nobody has to get hurt.” NOW what are you gonna do?

[x]Hijack A Shuttle.
Y’know what? Waiting for your ride isn’t really working out, if they’re even still coming at all. While you have a sense of unease about the fact these shuttles were all abandoned despite the guy who didn’t get the memo about the Nazi’s losing, you make your way into one of the shuttles, closing the doors behind you as you hop over the steps and into the seat. Oh, eugh. It’s a stick shift. And there’s no keys. Beggars and future road-ragers can’t be choosers, however, so you bend down for a moment under the dashboard to unlock its system (and more importantly, the wheel). >Kalinka used What A Hack! >Kalinka rolled...a seven! Intelligence 10+7= 17!
>Hack successful!
You’re in, as the saying goes. The wheel unlocks with a satisfying click and you sit back up and put your heel to the pedal. Where are you going?

[x]Head for a different Terminal
Those warbots are on the move, and heading for the main buildings, so you’re pretty sure heading that way would be a bad idea. Besides, the police should probably be used to this kind of thing, if your vaguely defined memories of international news (and your dad yelling over it at his former coworker) says anything. Surely they’ll have some idea of what to do, right? Right?? Either way, you need to get to a phone and tell your future employer you might be late, complete with a slight chance of being dead. He really needs to not send his kids out here with this mess going on, and since they’re not here there’s hope they haven’t actually gone out to get you yet. And even if they had, it’s Dr. Light, his car should have SOME method of going “hey kids, maybe don’t”. God knows your dad and brothers wouldn’t let you drive your motorbike around before installing a two-way military radio in it.
Parents.
Right, anyway, imminent danger. There’s another terminal in the other direction from the warbots. You make a break for it. >Escape Check! Kalinka rolled...a five! Made it, just barely!
You accidentally kick a box as you run, but looking back it doesn’t seem like any of the seven Brotherhood Of Evil Assholes or their still-monologuing boss noticed. You haul butt to the next Terminal over. It’s deserted-- looks like anyone that was out here booked it when Dr. Wily announced himself. There’s even a few shuttles about, which seems like an incredibly stupid thing to leave when a mad scientist with a cartoon accent shows up. Now what?

[x]Keep watching
The doors slide open to reveal seven figures. You can see by the red glow of their eyes that A) they’re definitely not human and B) they’re definitely warbots, as no other kind of robot had eyes like that. Unfortunately. The one in front has the dimmest glow, which turns out to be because they’re wearing a full facemask once they step into the light. They hop down with ease, landing almost lightly on the asphalt beneath. Now fully lit, their armor is clearly all shades of deep gray and red, save for an almost misplaced yellow scarf that somehow manages to catch a faint breeze that nothing else in the area seems to have noticed. The other six drop down with significantly less grace. Two of them appear to be almost android-ic, but all of them are too bulky to be anything less than Robot Masters, and the largest of the group lands like a ton of bricks, putting a small crater in the runway. Alarms go off. Looks like someone else finally noticed the tacky and now increasingly dreadful skullship and it’s cargo. However, when the PA system crackles to life, you jolt at hearing not instructions for evacuation, but a rasping, mocking voice. >Dr. Wily used Villainous Monolouge! “Attention Idlewild Airport!”, The voice began, German accent almost cartoonishly thick, “We interrubt your daily schetule with terrible news-- you're about to all be held hosdage by zee one und only Doktar Wily! I know you're zere, Mayor Dinkins-- If you don't want anyone hurt, giffe yourzelf up! Elzevize, I zink my boys und I are koing to haffe to enterdain ourzelffes...Clock's ticking!” >Kalinka rolled a 8 on her willsave! Save successful! The voice continues to carry on, but you manage to ignore it and think; Wily? Wily sounded familiar. Wily...Wily...oh! Your parents used to work with a Wily-- something about him becoming a terrorist a few years ago? Hijacking your future employer’s robots to-- ...Oh. Oh. Oh shit. [x]Run
Yeah it’s definitely time to get the hell out of dodge.
You catch a glimpse of the scarf-wearing robot’s hand twitching in annoyance-- never a good sign-- as you duck back around the way you came. You do, however, come to a stop for a moment behind some crates to glance about all the various directions you could go.
Where are you going?

Lore question: What about this world is markedly different from what we experience in the real world, that we wouldn't expect?
Oh boy howdy, here we go.
We actually have an entire googledoc dedicated to worldbuilding, which may take Some Time infodumping so let’s break it down to some basics so this doesn’t turn into the next War And Peace, eh?
Ancient Greek Automata– BC, the ancient greeks invent, build, and subsequently forget how to build automata. These automata are primitive and can only due small repetitive tasks, though they are re-discovered by Victorian archeologists and improved upon. This is actually slightly based in historical fact, though not to the same extent.
Clockwork Dolls– 1860s, Victorians take the idea of automata and expand upon it to create the first true utility automata to do tasks deemed menial and inelegant. Japan furthers the idea and makes it a literal art form, crafting dolls that can dance and sing. Also somewhat based in historical fact. We’ve been gypped, I tell ya.
The Turing Machine– 1936, Alan Turing uses an automaton shell to run complex algorithms, creating the first rudimentary Chinese Box-type AI robot. We’re starting to go on a tangent timeline properly here.
The Third War and the Luna-2 Satellite– WWIII in essence. 1954-1975. The Cold War turned hot through multiple simultaneous proxy wars and the invention of warbots who could carry modified diseases or nuclear waste into enemy territory, as well as early plasma technology (read; weaponry) and geothermal energy. True AI begins to be developed, though little thought power is given to warbots. In 1967, many scientists from around the world who banded together in secret literally launch themself into space with bits and pieces of a complete satellite which put itself together on reaching the intended orbital range under stealth until completed. The tidal and volcanic drama caused by the slow but definite additional gravitational pull of the secret satellite was initially seen as an omen from god by the more religious that the Third War was the end of times, until Luna-2 revealed itself on full completion. The combination of bad press, an orbital laser, and the colonist scientists extreme distaste for the world they left has resulted in them being extremely isolationist, though recent sabotage of their algae-growing vats has forced them to begin trade.
The Mother’s Day Revolt/The May Riots– Both in 1975, people in both the USSR and USA start throwing massive riots. The USSR disintegrates into many new nations, and the USA is forced to impeach damn near everyone in office. The Third War ends. China shatters into three nations around the same time.The Asimov Accords– Late 1975, the remaining governments in the world decided to collectively blame early AI’s lack of control for the greatly decimated state of the world, despite AI not actually having enough true thought power at the time, and instate the Three Laws. This also establishes the Robot Master system, as each level of robots will have a leading robot who will report to a higher level until the robot master, who reports directly to humans. This is begun because much field work is no longer viable for humanity due to its decimated population and much destruction of the land at large.Light Labs Founded– 1978, Light Labs is founded by former war vets Dr. Thomas Light and Dr. Albert Wily, who begin Project Orchestra; an experiment to create true AI, one that can learn and think for itself even in-spite of the laws.
THIS IS JUST THE BACKGROUND SHIT
Fastforwarding through character-related backstory such as the death of Dr. Light’s wife Emily and Wily going kabonkers, it’s currently 1994 in-series. There is in fact a rough form of internet and early-2000s-esque technology, a decade or so ahead, and of course many of the New Generation were actually raised with or by robots since the population took a nasty hit. Gender Equality is actually very high as due to said mass dying there is no point practically nor socially to prevent women from having the same rights. Unfortunately there’s a breeder emphasis so queer rights has taken a huge shit, and robots of course pretty much count to be as much of a person as your car, even though most Robot Master and above-tiered robots are no less human on the inside than their detractors are on the outside.
There’s some more details like cults and activist groups and different political figures maybe some elder gods, but that’s all the basic beats of the backstory and current setting of the story.

starsoverthehorizon reblogged your post:OOC; Godfucking dammit Tumblr
If anyone’s seen that post floating around, don’t worry, it’s false! We’re all good, far as I know
Yeah I saw that, thank god. Even so our voting rate is...not great, so it still might behoove us to open a subreddit and forum

[x]Go throw rocks at it
You didn’t come all the way across an ocean and a continent for some tacky bastard to terrorize the airport. To hell with this-- you’re gonna jam a brick up an exhaust pipe of that ugly thing before this even becomes an issue. And your brothers thought they were being smartasses putting that literal brick in your luggage. You fish said brick out of your roll-around luggage and heft your “purse” further up your shoulder before finding a way out to the airport runway and storming out. Somehow, nobody else seems to have noticed the giant floating skullship. Perhaps they’re all too used to being harried by hideous machinery? Huh. Americans. >Luggage has been removed from inventory.
>Equipped Brick to weapon slot! You are, of course, not stupid enough to just walk up in broad daylight to an edgy comicbook writer’s wetdream aircraft-- you duck behind various trucks and parked planes, tossing the brick in your hand with thoughts of violence in your head as you approach the skullship. Unfortunately, as you hide in the shadow of some crates a few yards away from where it hovers, you realize that the only visible jets are the two large ones at the back, well above where you could throw this brick into and successfully get more than a charred and unhelpful lump of baked clay. You had assumed there would be smaller jets at the bottom of the ship, given it’s hovering and all, but the skullship is entirely smooth underneath. You’d be fascinated with how it was floating-- magnetism, maybe?-- if you weren’t so put out. Unfortunately, before you can calculate if you could feasibly put your brick through the window of the ship, the side doors of it begin to open. Yuh-oh.

The first thing you notice about America is it’s very warm. Not that Turan’s airports weren’t warm but-- no, actually, nothing about Turan was warm except your home. You tug a little at the collar of your coat and wonder, idly, if perhaps your papa was right about being overdressed.
Oh well. At least you’ll look good when your future boss’s kids picked you up. Looking around, you note how the airport’s interior is built with all the sweeping white arcs of modern architecture, contrasted heavily against the plush red of it’s waiting benches and the wide, open windows showing the view (albeit there is not much of a view, being that it’s all planes and landing strips out there). The screen holding the flight times is a towering, ovaloid thing, with unflatteringly chunky green text in neat rows. You would think if they went to such an extent making their insides look modern, they would’ve updated from basic DOS to GEOS by now. You do not see your ride. With a sigh, you tuck some of your blonde hair behind your ear and wheel your luggage to the red waiting benches. You’re suddenly glad Pharohman nagged you into the ground to send most of your things to your future apartment ahead of time and a car to be waiting at Light Labs for you, but that still left you stuck in a sterile airport with outdated systems. You don’t really want to make your way to the clubhouse or lounge, as your ride was unlikely to find you there. And you really didn’t want to spend the day at the hotel; jetlag was going to keep you up regardless and you were in America! About to apprentice to Dr. Light! In his private, personal lab instead of the main Light Labs building! Why wouldn’t you want to spend the day in the most advanced robotics lab on the planet? (Besides your own, that is). You flump down on one of the benches and huff slightly, crossing your legs and reaching into your purse to see if you can fish out a book until your two escorts arrived. Thoughtlessly, you glance out of the ceiling-height window. You see something floating down from the sky. It is flying, but it’s not plane shaped. Indeed, it is distinctly in the shape of a skull. Your name is Kalinka Cossack. You’re sixteen years old, fresh off a plane, and about to have a very bad day.
