CLEVER GIRL…
A Jurassic Park Alternate Universe Meme

Life always finds a way.

Somehow, some way, either you have made it into the Jurassic Park world or the dinosaurs have been brought to you. Whatever it is doesn’t matter, because now it’s a fight for survival. What will you do? Go run to the bathroom stall in the rain, or pull out the big guns and go hunting in the woods? Maybe shine a big light right into a T-Rex’s eye, because that always works out great for everyone involved.

Rules:

•Post with your character, name and heading in the subject along with any preferences.
•Choose from the scenarios and tag other characters using the RNG or pick your favorite.
•Tag around! Get your characters eaten by a velociraptor, shove their hands in piles of triceratops dung, whatever, just have fun.

Prompts:

1. What’d you think you were gonna see? Big iguanas?: This is awesome, this is great! A dinosaur theme park, open and available to the public, and hey! The tour is starting!

2. What are you, a little bird or something?: You’ve found yourself on an island off the map. There are RESTRICTED! signs overwhelmed by vegetation and overgrowth but they don’t specify why. Maybe there’s a building or town nearby to give you some directions.

3. Think of it as a big cow: Oh dear, sweet vegetarians! Will you stop and enjoy the view of a brontosaurus munching on a tree, or maybe pet a baby stegosaurus? What could possibly go wrong with that?

4. Clever Giiiirl: You know what you’re up against, you know the stakes. Now it’s time to make a stand against them. Outsmart them, outrun them, do whatever it takes to take the damn lizards down.

5. He left us... he left us!: You've been abandoned, all alone and scared in a place full of strange noises and hungry extinct reptiles. Oh, and it's raining, because why wouldn't it?

6. Ian FREEZE!: Yeah, you’re fucked. A giant maw stock full of six inch teeth and a nose with the power of a turkey vulture and you think you can outrun the thirty four mile an hour behemoth? Good luck.

7. Aww, look how cute it is! Like a little green chicken. Yeah, until the swarm of little green chickens try to rip your nose off your face. But get them while they're adorable, their head-tilting is super cute!

8. They're flocking this way!: It's a stampede! Well, not really, but close enough. There's a herd of dinosaurs headed your way, better get a move on or you'll get trampled. And if you don't get trampled by the ones running away, you'd better move it in case you find yourself face to face with what's chasing said herd.

9. Don’t go into the long grass!: You’re on the run, terrified, haven’t slept in days and you reek of becoming the next meal. It’s getting dark and there’s a thick patch of woods five hundred yards out, but a clear, open field blocking your path. Do you think you can make it?

10. Dad, there’s a DINOSAUR in our back yard!: You have a dinosaur in your backyard and it just ate your dog. Maybe you just had to go to the grocery store and get a gallon of milk and suddenly, bam, a dilophosaurus spits in your face. Or maybe there’s a pack of raptors running amok in the city, lots of options with this one, pick your poison.

11. Random!: Dinosaurs in space, dinosaurs in the city, dinosaurs anywhere and everywhere, make up your own prompt and run with it!

For those unfamiliar with the 'main' species of dinosaurs, here is a comprehensive list directly from InGen's roster.

[Perceptor looks at him like Grimlock just suggested he turn into a jet instead of a tank.]

... My alt-mode doesn't have hands.

[spacetrex]

[To which Grimlock just looks all too confused.]

Why do you need hands right now?

[sciencetank]

[Perceptor blinks at him in response, then holds up the offending bit of algae from a moment ago.]

Data collection.

[spacetrex]

[Grimlock would blink in return, if he could. Instead he just sort of stares for a moment, and then grumbles, turning around to continue on to whatever his destination was.]

Scientists...

[sciencetank]

[He pauses only long enough to file away that gross green blob before slogging after the dinobot once more.]

You'll thank me once we get there, I'm sure.

[spacetrex]

Only if you can get a decent comm channel open.

[Was that boulder in the way? Well, not really, since he just shoved it into the river like it was nothing.]

[sciencetank]

I don't see why I wouldn't.

[No, really, he doesn't see why.]

[His head turns, to follow the path of the boulder as Grimlock tosses it. He knows the other 'bot is strong, but... it's always something else to see it in person.]

We seem to be making excellent time. Barring anything unforeseen, we should reach the peak shortly, I believe.

[spacetrex]

Shouldn't have any trouble. The smell of death is on the wind.

[He always has been strong, but he's even stronger now than he was before. Maybe Perceptor will get to see him rip a blast door open one of these days.]

You can climb, right?

[sciencetank]

'The smell of death is in the wind'? Rather poetic of you, all of the sudden.

[At the question, he blinks, hesitating a step.]

... It's never come up, actually.

[spacetrex]

Poe... Etic? Was just telling the truth.

[Grimlock doesn't have the processing power to even be remotely poetic.]

I hope you're a quick learner. If not, I'll just throw you up.

[sciencetank]

You had a rather wordy turn to the truth, then.

[He actually makes a face. Not at being tossed, but, at the suggestion he might not be a quick learner.]

It's me you're speaking to, Grimlock. I'm more than capable of learning quickly.

[spacetrex]

Fair enough.

[He never can tell. He was worried the 'bot might get distracted by a shiny rock or something.]

Yeah, yeah. We'll see when we get there.

[sciencetank]

[He probably would, actually. For a moment. He clambers up over a rock, pausing long enough to scan some bit of plant life. Nothing's come after them yet. Must be a good sign.]

And once we are there, the real work begins.

[spacetrex]

[Having Grimlock at the lead probably has something to do with that, really. He's as big as almost anything they've seen yet, if not bigger.]

Got any plans on that head of yours?

[sciencetank]

[Probably. But that doesn't stop him from scanning the skies, just in case. Those flying things might not be friendly.]

That depends on what materials we manage to locate.

[spacetrex]

Well, we're about to see what we can find.

[They're at what is apparently the first of a few cliff-faces, and Grimlock's already scaling the wall.]

C'mon, lets get up there.

[sciencetank]

Coming, coming.

[... it takes him a moment or two to find some footholds, some hand holds. But he starts climbing away, slowly but surely.]

[spacetrex]

[While Perceptor's progress is rather slow, Grimlock's powering his way up the cliff despite his weight. He's at the top in no time, and once he's surveyed the area to make sure there's nothing to send them flying back down the cliff?

He's nice enough to lean over the edge and hold out his hand for the tank-former to grab, once he's within reach.]

[sciencetank]

Ah--!

[He's surprised by the offer. But not surprised enough not to take Grimlock's hand, and haul himself up the rest of the way.]

Thank you.

[spacetrex]

Welcome.

[He doesn't have to do too much hauling, since Grimlock's practically lifting the smaller Cybertronian up and onto the top of the cliff. Once situated, he turns to look up at the next cliff-face.]

Looks like we've got two more to go.

[sciencetank]

Then let's not waste any further time... Perhaps the next cliff will let us see some sort of civilization.

[That said, the tank marches on over to start climbing again. He's got this.]

[spacetrex]

I can agree with not wasting time.

[Of course the Dinobot's quick to start climbing as well, and once again easily out-paces the tank-former.]

Doubt there's anything like us here, though!

[sciencetank]

Shockwave's data had to come from somewhere.

[A probe or something. If it's still here, maybe they could locate it... and use it to send a message back. Maybe.]

[Easy to see what he's thinking about, as they climb.]

[spacetrex]

Shockwave never gets directly involved unless he needs to. Probably a satellite watching the planet.

[And up and over the edge, once again scanning for any potential problems.]

[sciencetank]

Possibly. I suppose a crashed probe...

[He pauses, long enough to haul himself up as well.]

... is too much to hope for.
