[Open - Communal] Meet 'n' Greet!

WHO: Anyone! Hosted by Wing, Vectorians especially encouraged.
WHERE: One of the larger upper platforms in Vector Prime's Quadrant.
WHEN: Now
WHAT: Mixer for Vectorians and general social gathering for everyone.
WARNINGS: None yet. (But there's booze so...at the very least there might be bad karaoke)

Upon entering Vector Prime's domain it's obvious that things are a foot. The typically serene atmosphere is enlivened with notes of music and the murmur of voices punctuated by the occasional bubble of laughter that filters down from the upper heights, a soft glow of illuminating one of the larger platforms with a structure built on it. Colorful streamers fly from crystalline light poles, marking the way through the various crystal bridges and small platforms, until one reaches the large terrace on which the gathering is situated.

A large pavilion-like structure, enclosed on two sides but otherwise open to a majestic view of the gorge and beyond, shelters the bulk of the gathering. Its roof is several stories tall, enough to accommodate their First Forged benefactor should he choose to join them, and what could be considered a dance floor sprawls off to the side. The platform edges have been lined with a railing here unlike most of the others, to waylay any highgrade assisted trips into the gorge itself. Along another wall, nearest the open area, speakers and other equipment have been setup to provide music and other entertainment. One of Vector Prime's Acolytes greets newcomers with a simple nod, and may later be seen looking after the replenishent of refreshments as needed.

Tables of typical Cybertronian height line one wall, where tapped cylinders of softly glowing energon, both standard and highgrade, sit alongside cubes waiting to be filled. Various pieces of make-shift seating suitable to the average mech are scattered around. Central to the pavilion is a wide raised platform, about waist height to the average Cybertronian, designed to allow the shorter attendees to converse with their taller robotic fellows at eye level. Human scale ladders allow access to and from the floor, and occupying the platform is a buffet table accompanied by several mis-matched chairs.

The buffet table is covered with an eclectic assortment of refreshments and serving implements more suitable to organics, mostly non-perishable pantry type goods, (you can be certain there's Twinkies!) along with a odd collection of various alcohols including a bottle or two of whiskey. At the end of one table sits an old refrigerator on its back, now tasked with being a simple ice box, filled entirely with chunks of clean snow and ice from Liege Maximo's quadrant. Accompanying it are wax paper cups and a pitcher of fruity syrup that smells reminiscent of Kool-Aid. (make yourself a snow cone!)

The pavilion is attached to a larger building, two doors at the rear of the pavilion each lead to two separate rooms. One that appears to be in use for the storage of unused supplies and materials while the other is filled with makeshift seating of various sizes, creating a more relaxed atmosphere. To the rear there is access to a second floor, the rooms of which appear to be currently unused.

Barricade and Soundwave have agreed to provide musical entertainment for the evening.

Miko may play some guitar for us if we can find a way to power her amp.

Wing will perform a traditional narrative sword kata with some musical accompaniment.

Vector Prime himself may make an appearance at some point as well.

"Jetfire?"

Who else it could be? It was an absurd question and Blurr knew it but he wanted to get his attention. The bigger mech looked just as uncomfortable here as Blurr.
angleofscience: (peer - THAT's a human?)

Gaze shifting from the faintly irridescent pink liquid and further down to Blurr, Jetfire nodded in greeting as well as confirmation, even if it would, yes, be obvious who he was. It wasn't as if there was any alternate around that looked exactly (or nearly) like him...

Or even anyone of a similar size. The closest one was Liege Maximo himself, and he was quite a bit taller.

"Blurr. I hope you, er... enjoying yourself?" It was probably just as well that he with Blurr's arrival was a bit too distracted to take any further sips of the energon.
raceme: (Sense you make none)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-07-28 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, no, Jetfire sure was hard to miss. Blurr is starting to think that a drink wont' be all that much of a bad idea. He winced slightly.

"I'm not all that accustomed to this sort of .er...meetings sir I never had much time to attend social gatherings in the past nor I had many occasions to celebrate anything important and now I am at a lost of what to do AND perhaps it would be better if I leave already but the thing is this is my temple of residency so I can't really go anywhere."

It's hard to scape a party when said party is happening in your home.
angleofscience: (no one else finds this strange?)

[personal profile] angleofscience 2012-07-28 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
A moment passes as he runs through what Blurr said and then shrugs, slowly tipping his cube this way and that.

"They can be somewhat awkward, yes, and some people simply do better in smaller gatherings..." he frowned slightly at Blurr's last statement, his expression slightly questioning. "Well, the temple is large, I'm sure you could leave if you wished?"

Gesturing around as he took a small sip, Jetfire frowned at the cube, wondering at the taste... But it was a long time ago since he'd had high-grade, so that was probably it.
raceme: (What was I saying...?)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-07-29 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
"I told Wing I would be there it would be rude to leave specially after all he did for me He risked his life to protect me from Starscream when I got hurt and lost my arm."

Blurr noticed the frown and gave him a questioning look. "It'ssomethingwrongsir?"
angleofscience: (say what? - I did calculations!)

[personal profile] angleofscience 2012-07-29 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah." One thing that makes feeling not exactly at home here was that Blurr's way of speaking made it easy to not speak much in return; not that he couldn't, and quite often did speak a lot, but that was about particular subjects.

And there was nothing in the current conversation that had anything to do with science.

"... You arm---" He transferred his vague frown to Blurr's arms, one at a time, and then back to Blurr. "No, I don't think so. It's merely been well over four million years since I had high-grade, which does carry a slightly different compositional energy signature and atom structure from energon which hasn't been treated in the same way..."

Someone said something about not making this about science? Jetfire was more focused on Blurr and the energon in itself, however. "And it was only recently I had something approaching to a proper, full-capacity energon, which then was distracted by the months Starscream and I were out of our dimension."

The Keep, after all, hadn't had the best sort of energon, and even less a lot of it.
raceme: (Dot dot dot)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-07-29 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Blurr didn't do that on purpose, really. It was just how he is.

"Starscream cut it off during the monster attack. Well one of the Starscreams THE one from Ratchet's world." Jetfire might have more luck with that science-related conversations if he can find one of the resident doctors.

"It's been many solar cycles since I had any high-grade energon too but I never worried much about it." Blurr still didn't know what to do with the idea of Jetfire and Starscream being in friendly terms. "...ah."
angleofscience: (probability of this being incidental...)

[personal profile] angleofscience 2012-07-29 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Jetfire's frown deepened as Blurr elaborated. It wasn't something... completely unexpected to hear, but there must have been some sort of... reason, right?

"Do you know why?" Yes, he wouldn't question that it happened, because he could see it... Though he'd more expected to hear "shot me with a null-ray" but that was due to his own experiences and expectations of what any given Starscream might be capable of.

"Mmm, yes. Energon in general has also been dwindling in availability and purity for the longest time," he said with a shrug, noting the last little uttering with a questioning tilt of his helm. He had no idea what it related to, and so couldn't ask further.

Since, to him, the comment about him and Starscream being out of their dimension? The important part of been "out of their dimension" not "with Starscream"... Which obviously made clear his own thought process.
raceme: (This is my impressed face)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-07-29 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"We were handcuffed together." Blurr didn't really want to talk about why and how he ended handcuffed to Starscream, it embarrassed him, and thus he wasn't giving the best explanations about the inccident. For a start, he was giving short answers, that was not normal for him. And Prime Starscream wasn't equipped with a null ray either.

"That seems to be common in many other universes Wheeljack mentioned it to me too THE first Wheeljack not the new one that showed up a few days ago THE one that likes explosions."

Blurr processor caught up on that after a few clicks. "And was sort of dimension you two were trapped in?"

angleofscience: (shy Jetfire?)

[personal profile] angleofscience 2012-07-29 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"... Ah." Jetfire dipped his helm and took drank a bit more of the energon in his hand instead of asking for elaboration; he was curious, yes, but he wasn't hopeless enough he couldn't recognize a wish to not be asked further questions about it.

He frowned at the energon again and then shook his helm. There was really nothing off with the taste or the texture, so he wasn't sure what was pinging as off.

"Indeed. I exchanged stories with an Ironhide in the place Starscream and I was before, and the lack of energon was similar there as well..." Jetfire trailed off, and then nodded slowly. "It was similar to this one inasmuch that individuals came from different dimensions, but there was only I, Starscream, an ironhide of a very curious design and thus from another dimension than us, and later a Ratchet that is similar to the one we have here..." Jetfire frowned down into his energon as he talked, thoughtfully taking another sip and this time not really noticing the slightly gentle twirl along his fuel-lines.

"The space was limited to an area around a human fortress... there was no sun in the sky, but still light, with night and day, and I would assume there was some sort of forcefield around the place, as the sky had a very hard but invisible limit."

He would just not mention the questionable parts. No need to dwell.
raceme: (Sitting - A moment of relax)

[personal profile] raceme 2012-07-31 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Blurr looked down for a moment, nodding briefly. He was glad no more questions about what happened where brought up. And because he was not looking up he missed Jetfire's frown.

"Barricade mentioned living in place like that before he arrived here but I don't think it was the exact place as the one you are telling me about IT'S a bit upsetting to thing that so mane universes have that sort of places. A forcefield?"
angleofscience: (agnostic scientist - disregard no angles)

[personal profile] angleofscience 2012-07-31 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"There does seem to be a... curious, if not worrying, amount of dimensional convergence points... places where individuals are ripped out of their own dimension and deposited in another, or even a construct of one," Jetfire said with a frown.

Of course, the projected lower-end number of universes (in any given multiverse) would make intersections possible but they should probably be rarer than what the number he'd heard of or been to suggested.

"Yes. It seemed like the most logical explanations for lack of a sun with light and warmth still present, even if there was no energized feeling in the resistance when it was felt..."
