[OPEN] Movie night~

[raceme]

Who: Blurr and anyone who wants to see a movie, get drunk or just don't feel lonely
What: Movie night for the tinny single unloved mechs.
Where: Blurr's room.
When: Afternoon/night.
Warnings: None

Blurr learned thanks to Gunmax that Valentine’s was a day to celebrate with those you cared about. He knew that Wheeljack wasn’t the most romantic type. Suggesting something like that could get the wrecker running into the opposite direction and Blurr was not about to risk it. He left a present in Wheelajck’s room, a handmade new sword and a small card with his name on it and that was it.

Because spending the day with him was not an option that even crossed Blurr's mind he chose the next best thing: spend the night watching a movie with friends. It was not a great plan, but it was better than being lonely. They had energon goodies and regular cubes, and Blurr had found a copy of the ‘Princess Bride’ to watch. Only fifteen minutes onto the movie and he already loved it.

Fracas doesn't really know much about human holidays - aside from Christmas, they all seemed to like that one but he wasn't sure why everyone liked a large bearded man breaking into their homes - but he's not going to pass up company. Of course he came by to see the movie. Even if he's not familiar with many human movies... but so far this is great. He can get behind holidays that involve movies like this.

"This is really fun."

Just that he's avoiding the energon, for the time being. Washing out his mask is a bit of a pain and he'd prefer to avoid that.

Blurr is not an expert either and so far only bad things had happened to him during holidays. But he's with friends now, what could go wrong?

"I think so too." Blurr offers him some snacks. Energon Goodies are not high grade, you could have some fracas. Blurr's curious about how do you actually eat. "I never done anything like this WHEN I was in my own world."

[redshirtrobot]

Fracas's few holiday experiences haven't been too bad, really, but this one has been especially good. Friends and movies and snacks.

He waves one claw. "That's all right. Eating is... kind of tricky, for me." There is the hole in his mask, but he prefers just doing it in private, or with Shockwave. "I haven't either. I kind of wish I had now, though. It's pretty nice."

[raceme]

Friends and movies and snacks had become Blurr's favorite combination of things, definitelly.

"Oh sorry. I have straws it you need one." He lived with First Aid, he was used to mouthless mechs. "What sort fo things you did in your world to relax and have fun?"

[redshirtrobot]

"... you have straws?" Now that is a solution he never really considered before, and it's actually a pretty good one. He'll have to remember this for later, it will make things so much easier.

"There isn't much time for that, really. We keep pretty busy, or at least I do. Though I did like surfing the internet, a little." So many cat videos!

[raceme]

"YESwedo!...Somewhere. I can ask First Aid if you want." See, this is why you need to hang around with people more often, they share ideas.

"I was pretty busy too. The internet?" Tell Blurr about those, Fracas. "Sometimes I caught some wireless net with my radio systems but never had much time to investigate further than _{necessary about what was I} trying to find using that."

[redshirtrobot]

"Oh sure. I, uh, thank you." He'll definitely have to talk to more mechs around the Haven. They're so helpful!

"Yeah, it's this. Communication network, all over the world. They share ideas and writing and drawings. And videos of cats. I still don't really get that..." He didn't even get into the more horrible parts, either. "It's honestly kind of cool."

[raceme]

"No problem, I will do the next time I see him." Socializing is the key to everything Fracas. When is Blurr telling you that then there's a problem.

"Pictures and videos of cats? Ohhhhh was all that encrypted information?" DID SOMEONE SAY HACKING? Go to explain him the horrible parts.

[redshirtrobot]

"Thanks. It's really helpful of you, anyway." He appreciates it so much. And hey, he's bad at social stuff, he's much more used to working.

"Encrypted? No, not at all. It was all really easy to find. Some of it was way too easy to find, actually..."

[raceme]

Sounds like you are Blurr 2.0, Fracas. Working all the time is bad for the health, he knows that well.

"Oh." He soudns almost disappointed. Decrypting things is fun. "And you have none of those recorded, by any chance?"

[redshirtrobot]

This is true, but he does make sure he gets enough rest. He's not exactly going to work past his usual shift, even if he enjoys his work.

"I did decide to keep a couple of them, actually. If... you want to see them sometime?" Though the disappointment over the lack of decrypting is a little baffling to Fracas.

[raceme]

He is already doing better than Burr then, he still has problems sleeping and he does patrols all day.

"ohyesplease! Sounds interesting." He loves all sort of new information. Shh, Fracas you don't know what fun really is.

[redshirtrobot]

Blurr, Fracas wishes he knew some way to help with that. But he's always been on a straight punch clock himself.

"Cool. I'll see what I can pull out." It might take some time, though; his stuff ends up buried on occasion.

Let me know if this isn't okay =3 I'll be happy to edit...

Some time after the movie's over and people are just mingling, Thundercracker notices the Vehicon not too far from where he is. The mech is of an alien build, so very different from anything he's seen before. Well . . . no, maybe not so much so. Knock Out has similar curves and such. So do a few other mechs now that he thinks about it. It's still largely alien to his perception. But the mech wears the same sigil that brands the Seeker's broad wings, so . . . why not?

He approaches and offers a nod in greeting. "I don't think I've seen you around." The mech is a Decepticon at a party being thrown by an Autobot - that fact alone bears checking out, if only for curiosity's sake.

Totally works for me! 8D

[redshirtrobot]

Fracas isn't familiar with the Seeker, but he's at least gotten more comfortable talking to other mechs since he got here. Less stuttering and a little less worry that someone might take offense. And the airframe has the same symbol as he does, which means a lot to him. Even if he's gotten to be friends with some of the Autobots here.

He perks a little, wheels twitching. "Oh! I've been around a while, I just... I'm usually in Megatronus's temple training. Or Solus's temple." The Vehicon can't say he recognizes the other mech, either. Still, he extends his hand for a shake. "I'm Fracas. And you are?"

8D

[notyourblueangel]

The Seeker takes the hand easily enough. "Thundercracker. So you're a friend of Blurr's?"

Seems the Autobot gets around quite a bit, if the number and variety of mechs around them are anything to go by.

^_^

[redshirtrobot]

He gives the hand one short but firm shake. "It's nice to meet you. And I am. Kind of by accident, honestly. He's very friendly." Which is kind of what Fracas needed, to be less nervous around Autobots.

"I'm guessing you are too, Thundercracker?"

Re: ^_^

[notyourblueangel]

The Seeker allows a small, wry grin as he nods, echoing the grounder's words. "Somewhat by accident. He was one of the very first to speak to me when I first arrived, and he was one of those who tried to help when I had...a mishap shortly after."

"Where are you staying, and what do you do? If you don't mind my asking." He's quietly looking at Fracas's Glyph, trying to determine – or remember – whose it is.

[redshirtrobot]

"He's helpful like that, a lot. Sometimes I think he goes way too hard, though." But generally he likes the guy. He could use more people being nice to him.

"Oh! I uh. I was originally at Solus's temple," he taps the Glyph to indicate, "But I've been staying at Megatronus's temple a lot, training. Trying to divide my time a little more, though. What about you?" Fracas looks at Thundercracker's Glyph in return, curious.

[notyourblueangel]

"Alpha Trion." He glances down at his own Glyph, glowing sharply on his left shoulder, then shrugs. "I've been working on and off at the bar. I fly scouting patterns on a regular basis. There's a negative-polarity Megatron – white armor, blue optics, red Decepti-brand? I'm sworn to him should he need me. Otherwise . . . " He shrugs again, there really isn't much else that he does. "Once in a while, I find something useful in the Junkpile."

[redshirtrobot]

"You've been really busy..." That is an awful lot of stuff going on, all at once. The bar, scouting, helping Megatron, searching the Junkpile. "I think I've seen that Megatron on the network. He doesn't seem so bad. And well... finding useful stuff in the junkyard is definitely a trial."

[notyourblueangel]

"He's a good mech." He has to speak up. The mech has done too much for him already mostly just by being himself. "Lord Megatron – this one – is an honorable mech, patient, steadfast. He respects those who serve him. I've yet to hear him raise his voice in anger. Or . . . for any other reason." A leader he has no reason to fear . . . it's been far too long since he's been able to say that. And Fracas may or may not catch the fleeting but deeply haunted look that crosses his optics for just an instant with that thought.

[redshirtrobot]

Fracas perks a little at the description, the wheels in his shoulders spinning idly. Someone that he wouldn't have to worry about angering with his sheer presence? Sure, he gets that with Shockwave... and has been grateful for it... but a leader that doesn't scare the tar out of him? That might not see him as disposable? This is almost too good to be true. The Vehicon taps his claws together nervously. "He. He's really like that?"

[notyourblueangel]

Thundercracker nods, reading well enough the fear in the other mech, fear he himself has lived with for too long. He probably really shouldn't be surprised at what is likely a common thread through the realities. Most realities. "He really is. He's nothing like the fierce warlord I've known for so long. And you did too, I'd guess. I'll introduce you if you'd like."

[redshirtrobot]

It wasn't a reaction he'd expected to see out of a flier that didn't seem to be a drone. That fear. Otherwise Fracas might have tried to play it off a little more. As it is... someone that he'd identify as an officer, fearing Megatron like that? It's fair to show it a little more. "Yeah, he... well, it. It got pretty bad. And I-I'd like that. If it's not any trouble." He's more than willing to meet a Megatron that might not kill him at the drop of a hat.
