nexus_crossings | one mech's trash is another man's...

Misfire is, what some may call, a hoarder. He would like to consider himself a collector of fine treasures. However his room back home is just overflowing with crap. The air hanger at the edge of the wilds he's found here in the Nexus is starting to look similar. He doesn't care of course. Buuuut a certain superior officer of his back home did and ordered he clean his quarters out or his quarters would be moved from his quarters to the brig.

Keen on not getting tossed behind bars like some kind of... of common CRIMINAL, he decides to do the equivalent of just shoving it all into his closet. The closet in this case being the Nexus.

And it's all here now. There's... a lot... at least a little bit of pretty much anything you can imagine. His 'home' after all is a giant ship with quantum engines able to jump into new universes. You pick up a lot of stuff when you're on a never ending adventure across the multiverse. And that's before you even get to the Nexus!

Yeah there's boxes and crates and just random piles of stuff all over... is that an arm? That's an arm. Misfire hurries over to scoop it up. Looks like it belongs to a friend of his. Riptide maybe? He has vague memories of winning it off him in a drunken card game a little bit ago. Maybe he should give it back...

Either way the junk had to be dealt with. Even he could see the necessity. So what better way to get rid of a ton of junk then with a yard sale? He could just throw it out but... he just can't stand the thought!

So he's posted signs all around the Nexus advertising a sale with vague directions to his hanger.

"Hey! Thanks for coming! You looking for anything in particular? Bet I got something somewhere around here that's perfect for you!" he grins and waves at anyone curious enough to come out here. Possibly with the aforementioned severed arm.

(( ooc: Feel free to make up anything for the assorted junk laying around. Literally anything is fair game, the weirder and more obscure the better. He's defaulted to his giant robot form for this thread but if you'd prefer to interact with his human holographic avatar just let me know. ))

"Guy I know, Thundercracker, makes Earth movies. Maybe I'll try to find one of his..." He frowns then, reconsidering, "...Actually all his are pretty terrible I'll just find you Titanic instead."

Thundercracker's movies are just... hilariously bad. Misfire's seen a few of them and.. .well Misfire isn't an expert on Earth culture but Thunders isn't really either.

"Ya? You want me to carry it over for you or are you going to do the whole-" he waves his hands dramatically, "-Wizard thing?"

"Thundercracker. Right, then, I won't see any of his movies if they're so bad. You have some interesting friends" Ben looks quizzical. "You know, I don't think I've ever seen Titanic. Is that the one about the ship, and the diamond?"

Ben gives a snorting laugh when he hears Misfire describe use of the Force as a "wizard thing". This isn't the first time.

"So you've heard about what I am. Well, I was thinking a delivery - don't want to draw too much attention to myself and it takes more out of me to move heavier objects, if that makes sense."

"A boat, a blue rock, and an old broad! That's Titanic," he nods. There's... probably a little more to the movie then that. He can't remember though. He does remember that it's sappy and romantic and tragic though!

"Guess that makes sense though. Everyone's got a physical limit to what they can lift," he nods, though personally he thinks there should be no limit on MAGIC but he clearly doesn't write those rules, "So what do figure is the biggest thing you can lift without.. uh... what's the organic phrase? Breaking a sweet?"

Sweat. The phrase he's looking for is 'Breaking a sweat'.

"Titanic, Titanic. Is that the one where the boat sinks and one of them freezes to death after making sure the other one stays on the raft? That...might hit a little too close to home." Ben winces a little. He's not sure how Rey would react to that one, and he doesn't want either of them to be upset by the film.

He's also pretty sure it's based on a true story. At least the ship was real and, unfortunately, so was the iceberg.

"I don't think there are hard-and-fast limits, and I'm stronger than some. But overworking yourself is dangerous." Ben's not about to test the Force too much. Death by Force over-exertion ran in his family. It's what killed him the first time, or at least was one of a few factors.

"Eh it doesn't have to be Titanic. I got some friends who love Earth media, we can scrounge up something sappy for ya," he shrugs. It's no paint off his chassis! Besides if it gives him a chance to watch something new, it's all the better.

"I see... I see..." he nods at Ben's explanation of his powers, "But do you think you could make me look like I'm magic?"

Can you turn the giant robot into a pretend jedi. Is what he is asking. Misfire is clearly up to no good. As usual.
