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

[littlecrowgirl]

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!

Comments

[littlecrowgirl]

Kay can feel herself getting pressed to Cliffjumper's chestplate, and it was nice to not have that irritating little jitter that the jetpack would do. And the sound of his engine was...comforting. Like when you leave a fan on, the hum soothes you.

With the star in hand (which was, to her surprise, rather lightweight, she can feel them going up, immediately pressing herself more into that chestplate.

Oh god oh god oh god they were FLYING.

[cliffjumper]

"If ya want, we can take a bit longer to get down after you get the star up." It's not just an idle comment; he can easily tell Kay's excited, this close, partly because he's got a casual scan on her just to be sure he doesn't accidentally grip to hard or anything, and partly because of her body language. He's used to humans, yes, but caution is best.

And you were supposed to do nice things around Christmas, right? He keeps in the snort and concentrates on getting close enough to the top of the tree without flying into any of the short, upright branches so Kay can attach the star.

[littlecrowgirl]

She gasps at hearing that. They could fly...after this? From her squirming to her slight squeal, that's almost answer enough. "That would be AWESOME, Mr. Cliffjumper!!"

She's always wanted to fly, just like her thief code states. But even she knew it was just for show. But this...this made that reality, in a sense.

When they reach the top, Kay readies herself, making sure she has a good grip on the star as she reaches to top it off. The light seems to bounce off the crystals once put up on top, and thus making a rather beautiful effect.

[cliffjumper]

Laughing, Cliffjumper somehow still manages to keep them steady while Kay makes sure the star gets stuck on top of the tree. He does end up having to shift his grip to hold her out with both his hands, so that she's briefly hovering in the air between the tree and Cliffjumper.

He doesn't feel too comfortable doing that, but he's keeping himself steady, and the tree is much too sturdy to sway, even if there was a good wind blowing, which there isn't.

"Ready, Kay?"

And he has to admit, as she gets the makeshift star up there, that along with the crystal itself, the light bouncing around is really pretty.

[littlecrowgirl]

She could feel the slight hover, and gave a little yipe at the sensation, even if it was brief.

"You bet I am!"

She gazed at their finished product for a moment, eventually turning her head back to him. "Let's fly!"

[cliffjumper]

Giving her a grin and a brief, sloppy salute as he settled her back against his chestplates, Cliffjumper backed away from the tree, first slowly, then a little faster until he was sure he could turn around without getting any part of the jetpack trapped or crashing into any of the short branches.

"Hold on, then, and we're goin'." Not that he wasn't already holding her as he set off, judging the speed he could use against what he was reasonably sure humans could take. Not that this jetpack was capable of exceedingly huge speeds or anything, but it was fast enough for that.

Angling off around a spire, Cliffjumper dove further down the gorge Vector Prime's temple was situated in, using the walkways and towers as an impromptu flight obstacle course, mindful of the glittering threads suspended across the gorge.

[littlecrowgirl]

[And with that, her arms wrap around his neck (or as best they can) as she feels Cliffjumper back up. Once he gets into position and takes off, she's all screams, shutting her eyes tight at first as the wind whips back her hair.

Slowly, she starts to peek her eyes open, watching everything whip past her. It was just...beyond anything she could think of. The way Cliffjumper deftly avoided all those obstacles...it caused her stomach to leap each time.

It was...amazing.

"WHOA...!!"

[cliffjumper]

Compared to other mechs or designs, given that his chestplate is reasonably flat, if a bit curving, she should be able to reach fairly well.

"Tell me if it's too fast or anything like that, okay?" She's obviously excited, but they're up in the air with her literally rather unprotected, so giving a thought to that seemed like a good idea.

Going around yet another tower and between a few of the cables, Cliffjumper aim down the gorge and away from the temple to simply fly straight along it, the wind whipping against them both.

He's not a flyer and doesn't really feel any sort of urge for that sort of reformat, possible or not, but frag, using his jetpack for more than strategic moving around difficult patches was surprisingly great.

[littlecrowgirl]

The only answer Cliffjumper gets is a nod in affirmation, because she's having too much fun to focus on actual words now. Everything was just whipping by them, and Kay couldn't help but enjoy the feeling of the wind against her face.

Her voice has been reduced to screams of delight, holding onto Cliffjumper's neck tighter as they slalom in and out of the cables.
