Rangers: Now Recruiting

[morphmasters]

Whatever you was doing? Wherever you were? It's now irrelevant. You see a sudden flash of light, a sensation like you're suddenly made of nothingness, and a rush of electric energy where you think your body must be. There's just enough time and consciousness for you to think that this is frightening, or strange, or perhaps cool, but in a second your body is whole again and you're sprawled on the cold hard ground in the darkness.

The space you find yourself in is dark, save for the twinkling white lights like stars that adorn the walls. As others warp in just like you have, streaks of colored teleportation energy fading around the outlines of their bodies, a ring of light illuminates the central controls. A number of control panels surrounds a central platform, the tops of the panels standing about at waist-height for an adult human. Each panel's outline is lit by a colored streak of light.

A single shape stands on the central platform, hustling and bustling to each successive platform. It's not human---the head is shaped like two cymbals crushed together, the limbs move a little too stiffly, and brightly lit buttons line its torso. It suddenly turns to spot your character, its red visor fixed on you as surely as a human's eyes would be. The little robot throws up its hands, waving you over after a moment.

"Ai yai yai. Ah...what should I say? Oh, that's right. Welcome, humans! And...others. You have been chosen to become Power Rangers."

Congratulations, you're about to find out just what that means.

[ooc: Your character has been given a morpher and a promise that they'll know what to do when they morph. Feel free to talk amongst the other recruits, badger Alpha, accept or refuse the offer at your leisure. No matter what, though, the call of battle will soon reach you, and your character will be teleported out into the wider world (and the call of battle). Don't worry, you'll be back in the Hexagon soon enough.]

"That's all you need."

Sometimes a little reassurance goes a long way, but in this case, he hoped that confidence was enough. He still didn't know a lot about the enemy and that was going to present a huge challenge for him.

"How do you know so much about all this anyhow?" she couldn't help but ask.

"I was one myself a long time ago." He offered with a smile. "It appears that I have been recalled to help the new Rangers out when they need it."

Without Zordon being here, someone has to take the position as the mentor, and he still has a lot to learn himself. "I hope you don't mind an old man helping you."

Applejack shook her head. "Doesn't matter much to me. Whoever can lend a hoof, you know?"

[golfandrobots]

"And that's all we really need and I thank you for the help. We're going to need it now that we have a new enemy on the rise." Lee moved toward the viewing globe.

"Let's just hope we have more than just our wits to work with."

[appletastic]

"We've got our strength. We'll make it." Applejack sounded more confident than she felt, but she had to try.

Seeing her spirit rise was exactly what this new team needs. Someone exuberant and ready with a strong sense of idealism was a bonus and he gives a pleased nod in response. "Excellent! You'll do just fine!"
