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.]

The horrific slaughter of innocent foodstuffsLina's eating pauses once Applejack speaks up, and she fixes the pony with a look of confusion as if what she was doing was the most normal thing in the world.

"...well, it's been a little while since breakfast, and if we're gonna go fight to save a world, well, I'd best have enough energy to actually get the job done."

[appletastic]

"Can't argue with that. I just wonder why the little fella didn't bring us apples," she sighed. She'd like some food for herself too, but...

"Guess I'll have to do the growing around here."

[dragonspooker]

"I'm impressed to see a golem that actually speaks, much less knows anything about food," Lina answers, then oh-so casually tears off a chunk of some meat off of a bone. Epitome of grace, this one. "But yeah, improvements could be made. Gotta wonder who made 'im."

[appletastic]

"Wouldn't. And I'm a pony, thank you very much," she insisted, reaching up to adjust her hat.

"And I can eat with the best of 'em," but I don't think I've ever been as quick as you."

[dragonspooker]

"Not you, the little frantic guy," Lina answers, gesturing in Alpha's vague direction with the piece of meat. "I've seen talking animals before," she adds, then pauses. "Though they're usually more humanoid."

There's a slightly awkard chuckle at the comment about her speed of eating. "Well... The company I keep, you generally gotta be quick if you wanna get what you want, ahah."

[appletastic]

"Gotcha. So they eat even faster? Sounds like a family reunion to me," Applejack observed. She delicately stretched her head over the tray---could she reach something? She ended up with half a cookie in her mouth.

Close enough.

[dragonspooker]

"Eh, maybe a little on a good day," Lina explains with one of those 'kinda-sorta' wobbly hand motions. "Let's just say that dinner can be just as eventful as a good fight."

[appletastic]

"I'll say."

Applejack laughs, picking at her little scrap. "Here's hoping I can round us up some real food when we're done."
