[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.))

Perfect mostly because Elita hasn't learned yet to pick up the different subtelties of human body language as it plays out on and in their bodies; otherwise she'd probably be able to pick up the detail that Miko wasn't as cheery and confident as she appeared to be.

"That, or something might be able to be done here... I believe the territory of Alpha Trion has water and soil, but as I understand it you'd need more than that." She shook her helm, not being well-versed enough in Earth flora to know what would be needed to get suitable food to come out of the ground.

Her expression becomes a little more honest at that. "With dirt and water if we can find some seeds we can get some fresh foods growing."

Frowning, Elita turned to face Miko fully. She wasn't really personally invested in the survival of the humans currently on Cybertron, but it wouldn't be right to not help them survive when they were stuck in such an adverse environment.

Which also happened to be her home.

"What do these seeds look like?" If anything, if they could be found viable in the Junk Pile, it'd be some concrete help to more future food.

Miko tap her finger to her chin for a moment as she tried to think of how to describe them.

"They are all a little different, but generally they are really small, even to humans, and can be tan or brown or any color between. They might even be black. And they come in lots of different shapes."

Elita dragged a hand down her faceplates and frowned. If a small human described seeds as "small" then she'd probably have some issue picking them up even if she could find them.

"Compared to your hand, how small are they? I'm thinking it might be easier for me to simply tell, or bring you to, where they are if I find any."
heavymetalgenkigirl: (Check it~!)

She has a point, if she can even see seeds on the ground, then picking them up would still be difficult. "They can vary in size but most of them are about this big I think." She held up the fingers of one hand to her open palm, showing a half inch. After a moment of thought she also hit on another thing. "They may come in little paper packets, about this big." She showed of a size 3 1/2 inches by 2 inches or so. "They tend to be really thin, but those may be easier to notice and find than the seeds themselves."

Oh, seeing them wouldn't be a problem, she can see quite small things effortlessly as optics were capable of a far greater range than a human eye.

"... That's quite small, especially compared to me. Well, I'll just let you know if I find any." Elita shook her helm; she might actually be perfectly capable of picking them up with some smaller manipulation tools, but it'd probably be easier to simply have Miko or another human (or alien of appropriate size) to pick anything found up.

"That works great! Thanks for keeping a look out for them!" She smiles happily. It was nice that so many of the robotic people here were being helpful to the organics.
