What's December Without Christmas Eve? [Tree Decorating: OPEN]

WHO: Anyone and Everyone!
WHERE: Around various parts of Haven
WHEN: From now until what counts as 'New Years' for Cybertron (New Years Day for us?)
WHAT: Tree Decorating!
WARNINGS: Infinite cute and maybe tree eating

Well, Kay and Elita had done it. It took awhile, and surprisingly, all in one night, but they'd been able to grab branches from the large crystal trees that the pink robot had grown, and placed them all around Haven. Where, specifically? Outside the temples! Really, surprised no one noticed it.  But to those who walk out of the them, they'll now notice a tree on either their right or left, empty, glittering, and with a note.



What could this mean? What's this? There's trees everywhere! What's this? And depending on what your alignment is/where you live, you'll get a different tree. 

(ooc: I'll be putting comments up for each quadrant's tree. Comment under whichever one you'd like to react to/decorate/chat with people under. It's a huge mingle thread! Also, don't forget to put your tag in the log!

"I don't," he corrects, taking a step back as Smokescreen moves in closer. Closer to the Autobot was one of the last things he wanted. "I'd like to avoid hanging out with you, if you don't mind."

He probably wouldn't get that, his luck is nowhere near that level of good. He wasn't about to get all friendly with this bot, and he doubts Smokescreen will stop harassing him now that they're face to face. No matter how much he backs up.

"Not all viruses kill."
shutupndrive: (Happy BB!)

"Uh huh. Really stretching there, lightbright."

Smokescreen noted the way the other moved back and stopped, a part of him wanting to keep pushing but..well...

He glanced over his shoulder at the archway, debating for a moment, thinking about everything that had gone on as of late before his optics once more were focused on Dead End.

"...So, know anything about Christmas?" he asked, jerking his thumb towards the archway.

"You never know..." he sighs, only vaguely pleased that Smokescreen had stopped stepping towards him. Distance was good, he liked it that way with mechs like this.

Dead End peers over at the tree and then back to the Autobot before him, "It's a holiday."









...

Aaaannnnnddd that is the extent of his knowledge.

Well, aside from the holiday was a human thing, but he's pretty sure that doesn't need to be said. It clearly wasn't Cybertronian in origin.
shutupndrive: (Smug stare)

An amused sound escaped Smokescreen at what the other had to say, rolling his optics a bit.

"Very good, lightbright," he drawled before catching himself again. There was no reason to be a jerk right now, what with the holiday stuff going on. Plus, here, they were all on equal footing right?

Plus...Optimus would want him to be nice and respect the neutral aspect of this place. Here they were all the same. Or something like that.

"It's a holiday that humans celebrate specifically," Smokescreen went on to say, nodding towards the archway. "They usually decorate trees and stuff in their houses so I'm guessing this is someone's attempt at giving us something similar. They exchange gifts and stuff for the holiday as well. The season of giving is what they like to call it."

Yeah, the bot's already laughing at him. That sound tells all, he knows these things. At least he wasn't being punched yet, but with his luck that was coming.

It takes a second for Dead End to pull himself out from the negative broody thoughts and actually pay attention to the Autobot threatening talking to him.

Decorating trees and homes, and exchanging gifts. He didn't hear a why in there though.

"What for? How does decorating trees connect with giving gifts?"
shutupndrive: (I throw my hands up in the air sometimes)

"It's..actually...I'm not sure. It's so old tradition of theirs but I have no idea how it started," Smokescreen admitted with a sheepish sort of grin, rubbing the back of his neck some. He glanced at the archway then back to Dead End as he lowered his hand, resting it on his hip now instead. "Humans have all sorts of weird customs. My guess is that they just want to be nice to one another, at least one day out of the year...which is kind of sad."

He made a face as he mulled that over before shaking his head some. There had to be some other reason for it. Even if a lot of the humans he'd seen were kind of mean.

"One of the humans around here would probably know better than me though, Lightbright."

[personal profile] dinnerdate 2012-12-25 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Humans being nice to each other one day of an entire year. Right. Not sure why that needed to be a holiday then, but he's not going to argue it.

"I'm not going to be asking any of them."

He's spoken to a good chunk of them already, and there's no reason to be doing any more of it. He doesn't know how to deal with most of them.
shutupndrive: (Stoic)

[personal profile] shutupndrive 2012-12-25 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Smokescreen's optics flickered before he shrugged.

"Whatever. That's your call, lightbright," he mused a bit before his expression shifted into something thoughtful. The rookie was quiet for a long moment before he glanced up at Dead End, shifting his wait from one foot to the other as his doorwings sank.

Just a little though.

"...Sorry..by the way. For being an aft to you."
dinnerdate: (ooohhh that's what you meant)

[personal profile] dinnerdate 2012-12-29 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Did he just?

He's hearing things, there's not doubt about it. This Autobot wouldn't apologize to him. No one apologized to him, that wasn't how life worked.

"You're sorry?"

That look Smokescreen is getting is very doubtful. He doesn't believe this at all.

"Yeah, I am. But that's the only time I'm saying it outloud," Smokescreen said hurriedly, almost pouting but catching himself, crossing his arms over his chest. "Optimus wouldn't like me treating you like I have been so...this is me apologizing for it because I know I've been a jerk."

But that's the end of that.

"So you've never seen Christmas stuff before?" Subject changes, for the win!
dinnerdate: (one of those days. again)

[personal profile] dinnerdate 2012-12-30 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
"So you're not really," he confirms.

It wasn't exactly what Smokescreen said, but he can read between the lines. Bend words the way they should be bent. He was good at that. Brooding almost 24/7 was a big help there.

"You're only saying it because of Optimus Prime."

There was no talking out of this. He didn't like the Autobot to begin with, and the Bot only seemed to like picking on him. It was the only thing that made sense, and nothing would change that.

"I've never been to Earth."

So. Yes, he's never seen this stuff before.
