[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.

"You were the one who wanted to go," Jetfire pointed out with a dip of his helm and a stare, then frowned as he realized how immediately the energon Starscream had picked for himself had disappeared.

Did he really intend to end up overcharged that fast?

Which of course wasn't the point, but for once Jetfire wasn't particularly suspicious as to Starscream's motives, and idly took a sip from the cube he'd been given. There was no reason to mistrust this, really. Starscream wasn't annoyed at him at the moment, and unknowingly spiked energon wasn't anything he'd had to deal with.

Not to say they hadn't experimented with additives to see what it did to energon and to the imbiber, but that... was an entirely different engine.

"I was just making an observation. If you don't want to listen to me, drink more and ignore it."

Besides, Jetfire needed to drink more and get plastered. Just. Because.

Starscream eyed him for a moment before switching his gaze back to the party.

"Not enough Decepticons here. Too many good guys and squishy things. I think this place needs a little more excitement, don't you think?"

Of course Starscream's definition of excitement and Jetfire's definition were two separate things all together.
angleofscience: (smile - ahh well yes)

He could have made a comment, since that "observation" had included an awful lot of implication of not liking the situation... And that could only be fixed by not being present. But then, Starscream liked to complain about nearly everything.

In the end, he merely shook his helm, substituting any further commentary with a dry look and another sip. Starscream would get as he wanted, because that cube? Half-empty already, despite Jetfire not having been attacking it constantly or in great gulps.

"I suppose that depends on what you were thinking counts as the needed 'excitement'... I believe there was mention of entertainment," Jetfire murmured, and either despite of, or because of the awareness of said... differences, there was a small smile on his face.

Starscream shrugged before reaching over to poke Jetfire on the arm. He hoped the spiked Energon would kick in soon before he got extremely bored. He could only taunt and harass others for so long before he even grew tired of that.

And since none of his alternates were here for him to murder, he'd settle for getting Jetfire completely and totally plastered.

Maybe he should get him another cube.

"I bet the entertainment will be just as stupid. Have you seen anything interesting yet? Not that you have the best taste when it comes to interesting. But anyway."
angleofscience: (Autobrand - no matter what (you say))

Whereas Jetfire normally would ignore such a poke being that it was harmless and - depending on frequency and vehemency, of course - merely an easy form of contact between them... Right now, with high-grade that was going to his systems faster and stronger than it should, though with a delayed recorded effect by his systems themselves...

Normal, here, then, didn't apply, and while Jetfire merely followed the path of Starscream's hand at first, optics curiously soft, right when Starscream was about to withdraw his appendage, Jetfire grabbed it and raised it up to his lips.

Giving a brief squeeze to the captured hand, he kissed the back of the fingers before letting go.

"Mmm. Like I said, you insisted we go. We could always leave, as well." While he wasn't feeling a direct unfconfortable urge to do so, Jetfire still looked towards the length of the pavilion open to the platform and then the sky above.

What did Starscream say about public displays of affection, Jetfire?!

He jerks his hand back as soon as Jetfire releases him. Hopefully no one saw that and he gives a quick look around just to make sure.

"Not just yet," he spoke before returning his gaze back to the large Autobot.

"You, keep drinking. I'm going to go see if anything interesting is going on. I'll be back."

In other words, while Jetfire was getting more plastered, Starscream was going to go mingle and harass people.
