[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.

((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.))

Ever get that feeling that you're being watched? His ears twitch slightly, although if it was because he heard Drift somehow or just a sign that Teddie became aware of that feeling is up for debate. Either way, he stops what he's doing and looks over, swallowing the giant mass of food that was probably in his mouth at the time.

"Hiya?"

To him, Drift looks like a giant cat, which makes him just a little less startling. He's rather simple-minded that way...

Drift has been all over the galaxy and he's seen some....things. But this is just unexpected.

"No. Drift, not 'hiya'."

Did that thing really just swallow that much food?
kingofthetvworld: (🐻 || Bear - wtf is this)

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2012-07-30 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed he did, his gullet is on par with a black hole. But he enough about him, let's talk about--Actually, no, I'm still on him. Teddie blinked, trying to understand what Drift was trying to say. He knew what drift meant verb-wise, but the connection of that being this robot's name had not been registered yet.

He'll try again.

"Hi?"
sword_redemption: (wut is this)

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2012-07-30 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
What was even going on? All right. Try again. No one could ever accuse Drift of giving up.

"Drift.". He points at himself. Then the creature. "You are....?"
kingofthetvworld: (🐻  || Bear - Hot stuff)

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2012-07-30 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, oh, OH!" Teddie gives an embarrassed chuckle, almost amused with the mistake he made. Oops. "I getcha now."

He puffs out his chest a little in a strange attempt to seem impressive and pats himself with his paw since it's now his turn to point at himself. If this is how folks say hello around here, he can certainly comply.

"I'm Teddie," he pauses, that not sounding all too impressive. He'll have to add something. "Esquire."

Whether or not he actually knows what that means is anyone's guess, but what he does know is that it sounds fancy.

It is a bad idea to try to learn social mores from Drift.

Okay. Now that they've gotten past names, what else?

.....
.....

.....

"You a friend of Wing's?"
kingofthetvworld: (🐻  || Bear - Stare)

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2012-07-30 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"He's the big friendly one, right?"

Now that Teddie thinks about it, he never got Wing's name. Not formally, at least.
sword_redemption: (huh?)

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2012-07-31 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes. Big, white and red. Big...uh...things here on his helm." Drift holds his hands up, fingers fanned, to emulate Wing's audial flares.

"...where are you from?"

It's probably rude, but, well, curiosity wins over manners sometimes.
kingofthetvworld: (🐻  || Bear - MY GOODNESS)

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2012-07-31 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
"That's the one, yeah! And, uh..."

Teddie looks over towards the way he came in. Where was he from? He's pretty sure it was...

"I think they called it the Nexus something."

No one said he was a bright bear.

"Whadda 'bout you? Where do you live? I bet it's huge!"
sword_redemption: (:/)

my god i am the latest

"Nexus. Is that a ship or something?" It sounded like a ship name.

Drift shrugs. "Well, before here? I was, uh. It's sort of complicated. I was on a ship, but then we went down to a medical facility to help them and I ended up nearly dying."

Which is sort of the opposite of what's supposed to happen when you go to the doctor.
kingofthetvworld: (🐻  || Bear - HJKJHDK)

It's okay!

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2012-08-04 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well that's--"

Wait, what? Ended up nearly dying? That's awful, was this normal among robots? Nearly dying? Was that normal here? Jumping to conclusions causes him to shiver. Drift sure knows how to small talk.

"O-Oh. I see. G-Good thing you made it."
sword_redemption: (slightsmile)

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2012-08-05 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Sadly, in Drift's life? ....pretty normal.

"It all worked out. It always does. Though I admit I thought I was a goner." He grins. Because, yeah, he really sucks at small talk.

"So, uh, what do you do in your Nexus?"
