[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.

((---This is COMMUNAL log and designed to be a mixer, so post to note your attendance and then tag around!---))

((If you'd like to do a game, performance or other activity feel free to make a post for it and let me know, then I'll highlight it here.))

((I tried to set a foundation for the scene but leave a lot of stuff open, so feel free to embellish where you like. We have access to pretty much anything that's mundane though likely it comes from the Junk Pile. Feel free to have your character bring something if they want.))

When Starscream first arrived with Jetfire, he had strolled into the place like he was the VIP everyone was waiting for and the party was specifically for him.

And that demeanor didn't change as he moved about the room pretty much acting like he was the most important thing there (which in his mind, he was). He left Jetfire to get them both a drink ~~and drug Jetfire's~~ before he maneuvered around again.

Despite his cocky attitude, at least he was relatively behaving himself and hadn't (yet) started any fights or attempt to shoot, maim, or otherwise taunt anyway.

Of course that would probably change within a matter of minutes knowing him.

Blurr decided, against better judgment, to talk to Starscream. Not because he was particularly interested on the possibility of getting killed anytime soon, but because of Jetfire. The mech mentioned spending many cycles with Starscream in the past and Blurr was curious about the specifics.

And look he even has a pair of cubes of high energon. "Hm...hello."

"Oh, pointy blue-head. How nice to see you again. And oooh, you read my mind."

Starscream smirked before Blurr even approached and then he smirked even more as he reached down and attempted to take both energon cubes from the blue speed demon.

Blurr frowns looking offended.

"Oh pointy blue-head how original except not I WOULD like to know why all of you insist on giving me nicknames when my real names is not too long nor too hard to remember. Come on say it with me Blurr. BLURR. B-L-U-R-R. See? Not that hard at all!"

He couldn't care less about the energon, even if he was not expecting Starscream to take both cubes. Blurr let him do it, a high Starscream was probably a talkative one.

"Because Blurr is a stupid name. But okay I'll just all you Adderall instead."

And Starscream was keeping both cubes, because if he was going to last at this party he was going to need to get at least somewhat buzzed. He doubted anyone would let him shoot all the people he found to be annoying so this was option two.

"And I'm going to start assigning you numbers because there's way too many of you here to keep track." He would keep track if he cared but he does not. So much for trying to be social.

Nope, no shooting allowed. "Jetfire mentioned you when we talked HE said you two spent some time together in the past in a different dimension."

"Just as long as I'm number one."

Keep up the snark and he might just start to like Blurr.

But the next comment about Jetfire his him doing the Cybertronian equivalent of rolling his eyes.

"What? The Keep? Unfortunately, yes, we were both stuck there. And Jetfire still hasn't learned not to blab so much, I see."

"I don't know what makes you so irritating but whatever it is it works."

Are you sure? He did that to Slipstream and she wasn't all that thrilled. Blurr tries to calm down, however, he wasn't trying to pick a fight this time.

"He didn't really tell me much you can relax NO even embarrassing stories."

"Aww, now that one almost hurts my feelings, blue-bot."

He spoke and then moved closer and leaned down a little bit in order to bring himself down to Blurr's level.

"Maybe not. But I can tell you all kinds of stories about him."

They might not all be true though.

"My deepest apologies I did not know you had those." Nope, he doesn't sound sorry at all.

Blair doesn't' even blink, he's used to bigger boats, he stopped worrying about height differences long ago. "If you feel like it I would listen."

Factions weren't something that Kay had been too informed of when it came to these robots, so she's just going to take Starscream with the same stride as she would with any other Cybertronian she's met. And by that, we mean she's going to be a dork. He's pretty easy to spot thanks to his colours, so she approaches him.

"Well, someone's got the party spirit, don't they?"

Starscream shrugs at the small human girl. He doesn't look bothered or annoyed by her approach. He has been behaving himself so far at the party.

That could always change, but for now he was being good.

"Girly, the party doesn't even start until I arrive. I am the party."

And he has a really, really big ego if that wasn't already obvious.

She doesn't know it yet, but she appreciates that good attitude you've got going on there, Screamy.

"Wow, you sure set yourself up pretty well!"

A slight giggle at her own joke.

"I'm guessing you're a real party animal."

His expression shifts to more of a grin as he decides that he may possibly be able to tolerate this human for awhile.

"Oh, that's certainly one way to put it. What about you? Are you normally the party type?"

Maybe he could even talk her into wandering over to Jetfire and asking him awkward questions. That was certainly a thought swirling around in his processor.

Do you see this glowing expression? That's like if you asked a bird if it flies.

"You BET I am! I love to party, but usually Mr. Edgeworth--he's my friend--doesn't let me because 'A gentleman doesn't partake in such events'. It's like 'Uh, you watch the Steel Samurai, Mr. Edgeworth, just suck it up and go party like a rock star'!"

And then she realized she just rambled on about stuff Starscream might not know about.

"Oh, sorry! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Kay! What's your name?"

Right. Rambly female human. He could deal with this. He might need more Energon but he could deal with it.

"Starscream. It's a pleasure, Kay. So aside from partying, what else do you entertain yourself with?"

This sort of question was asked because, no matter the species, he always liked to find out if someone was useful to him or not. If she had skills, he could over-look the whole squishy human thing.

"Starscream? That's a pretty name. I mean, I know it shouldn't be, but it has such a cool air around it! Like a hero."

She puts her hand on her hip, one finger reaching up and rubbing under her nose. Yes, she's very confident about this discussion.

"Why, I'm only a Great Thief!"

Hero? Well, that's certainly one thing he hasn't heard before. He could use that.

"Great Thief, huh? So what all have you stolen? Your greatest feat in other words."

She may be too small to retrieve big things, but the was starting to feel like he could maybe still use her.

She can't help it. She just wants to put a cape on you but your wings would probably get in the way. Sad face.

"You bet I am!"

Greatest heist? Oh, get ready for this one.

"Well~ I stole Truth itself."

Yep. You heard it right there.

Wing notes Starscream's arrival with some wry amusement but doesn't move to meet him right away. That'd be petting his ego a little too much. Eventually though, the knight makes sure their paths cross.

"Starscream." He nods cordially. "I hope you're enjoying yourself. Can't be too boring if you're still here right?"

Starscream huffs lightly in response, but his overall mood didn't change. The huff was mostly directed at Wing's appearance and he gave the other flier a slight look-over -- only to gauge his possibility of being an actual threat of course.

"Ahh, well, I haven't quite made up my mind on that one yet. Besides, this party would be terribly boring if I hadn't shown up at all. You need me here."

Did we mention his ego, Wing?

Wing makes no effort to hide his ardent visual inspection of Starscream. Since the seeker so adamantly advertises his own good looks, Wing rather thought it'd be expected at least, possibly even rude not to.

"Yes Starscream we need you here. We need everyone here."

It's a community gathering after all.

As much as Starscream preaches how everyone should fawn over him, people usually don't. But that mostly has to do with the fact that he's a giant jerk.

"No, no. It's obvious how dull this place would be if I hadn't shown up. You should be eternally grateful I even decided to give any of you the time of day."

He snorted and gave a brief glance around to see if there was anyone with an energon cube who was close enough that he could steal it from them.

Well hopefully they could avoid fights here, because Swindle was in the mood to get to know people on a more positive scale. Good relationships often did wonders for one's business Swindle found. Noting the self-important strut of one seeker, he decided that this would be a nice place to start.

"Ah, now here's someone who knows how to enjoy a party." Swindle said cheerfully after taking a sip from the glass he was holding. Not the most creative conversation starter, but it served its purpose.

Starscream eyes the smaller mech as he approaches. Something about the colorscheme and general look just reminded him of someone, but he couldn't quite place it yet.

He had a feeling it was someone annoying though (Which was 90% of the Cybertronians in existence by his standards).

"Naturally. This party would be dull otherwise."
