Hangin' out [open]

[knight_light]

Who: Wing and anyone who wants to drop by (but especially aimed at those he promised to call and meet up with later)
Where: The Hub's bar and likely various other places around the city, feel free to say where you want to meet him.
When: All week.
What: Meeting up with anyone who wants to come have a drink with the knight.
Warnings: Drinking and anything others might bring.

Over the next week, Wing would be spending a lot of time in the bar, or meeting people in various places.  Some he promised to contact later the day he arrived, he would be calling each of them over the next few days, looking forward to meeting up with them and getting to know them.

Whether meeting in the bar, or coming across someone in the city, Wing was always one to greet the other with a grin.  Hello, Haven, come meet this derpy hippie knight.

"Because," he answered with a grin, "it sounds like you could use a hobby."

"Don't know, perhaps you'll have to ask around, or check the Junk Pile for a board, apparently many things are dropped there."

It's the mention of sparring practice that gets a curious headtilt from Wing. "Found a sparring partner yet?" And if Jadewing thinks that sounds like an offer, it's because it is. An offer coming from a rather small flier, but still an offer. Bigger opponents didn't put Wing off at all, they tended to underestimate him the most.

Jadewing gave an annoyed grunt, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly in a half-smile. Darnit, Wing, stop being so cheerful. Don't you know it's contagious? And Jadewing has a rep to maintain.

"Could probably make a set if there's none around," he said. "It's not really that hard to put a basic set together, with enough basic materials." He just hadn't really done so because again, finding someone to play against would require actual socializing.

The offer of acting as a sparring partner got a raised optic ridge though. Jadewing gave wing an appraising look, sizing him up. Smaller size tended to mean greater agility, though it also tended to mean sacrificing strength and durability to a certain degree. But one never knew what sort of mods a bot might have to compensate for such.

"You mind hand-to hand?", Jadewing finally asked. "I don't really do swords."

[knight_light]

Contagious good cheer is the whole point, Jadewing, it's just why he exists. "You'll have to teach me how to play should you make or find a board."

He held still as the Seeker eyed him, sizing him up. He'd be right in his assumption of great agility, and while he wasn't the strongest mech out there, he certainly had skill in using the strength of others against them.

"Not at all. No weapons, and...keep to the ground to start with?"

[the_other_green_seeker]

"I might just," Jadewing replied to Wing's desire to learn to play fullstasis. Hey if Wing was offering, that spared him the socializing. "Wish I knew how to put together a holo-fullstasis board, though. It projects the game pieces as hard light holograms and adds an extra level of challenge with each player getting three chances to randomize the positions of certain pieces. Course, that's mostly recommended for advanced players, so it's probly not the best to learn on anyway."

"And yeah, ground based to start," he said. "Til I have a better idea how your armor compares to Seeker armor." Seeker arm weapons had a practice setting, but it was designed for practicing against other Seekers. What would only sting a Seeker, maybe scorch paint a little with a good hit, might well do more damage to a more lightly armored bot.Which while in the air, could be very dangerous.

Wing smiled as Jadewing talked of the game. "It sounds like an interesting game."

He nodded to the later about sparring. "Name the time and place. We'll see what the other is capable of."

[the_other_green_seeker]

Jadewing shrugged. "I'm not doing anything now if you're not," he said. "And I think Vector Prime's got a big open training area for stuff like this. I've flown over it a few times."

[knight_light]

Wing smiled. "Sounds good to me." If Jadewing is done with his fuel Wing will stand. "Fly there?" He's familiar with the training grounds, he's done some training with Drift there.

"Well unless you planned to walk all that way...", Jadewing said, smirking slightly. He finished the rest of his drink in one gulp and got to his feet, moving to deposit the empty cube in the appropriate receptacle before they left.

"You want to lead, since you're one of Vector's?"

[knight_light]

"I can, though I doubt he'll mind you coming into his sector." He'll step outside, hop up, transform, and shoot into the sky, scanners keeping track of where Jadewing is. Wing is no Seeker, no where near as adept in the air as Seekers are, but he is a good flier, he'll not hold Jadewing up at all.

[the_other_green_seeker]

"Don't think he would," Jadewing replied. "Just the principle of the thing."

Jadewing followed Wing outside, taking off and transforming before settling comfortably into a place just slightly behind and to the right of Wing for the duration of the flight. Not the position of a wing-second, as he might have taken up with Thundercracker; this was much more casual, and not really a proper formation at all.

Jadewing wasn't worried about being held up anyway; it wasn't as if they were on a deadline, after all. He allowed Wing to set the pace, holding his position until they arrived at Vector's training grounds. Where he transformed and landed, looking around a little.

[knight_light]

Wing landed lightly; for being a giant robot he barely makes a sound as his feet touch the ground. He'll move to the side, pulling the Great Sword off his back and setting it down, followed then by his two blades. This way they were out of the way and Jadewing wouldn't have to worry at all that Wing would reflexively or intentionally draw a weapon on him. Wing wouldn't anyway, he was far too disciplined for such a slip in a sparring match, but it was an honorable gesture to put his opponent at ease.

"Ready?"

[the_other_green_seeker]

Jadewing found himself mildly impressed by Wing's quiet landing. Seekers were too big to really accomplish such a thing, no matter how gently they touched down, and even then, there was rarely a need. Still, a quiet landing wasn't really an indicator of combat skill.

Jadewing noticed Wing setting his swords aside, so he detached his own arm mounted weapons, setting them out of the way as well. They tended to only get in the way of this kind of sparring anyway. He moved into position across from Wing, then nodded. "Ready."
