[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.

Once Blackarachnia settled in, she wasted no time nabbing some of the energon goodies and relaxing. So far, it didn't seem she had to worry about Blurr being a threat and hopefully that extended to the people he considered friends.

Besides, this would be her first chance to actually see an Earth movie. And so far, it was strange but interesting.

[thxforthememories]

He really only intended to stop in for a moment. He didn't want to refuse the invitation. But... he had something else he needed to do, as foolish as he might be thought of for doing it.

So, when he slipped in, it was in silence, and he kept to the back of the room, his head slightly bowed. He'd stay there if need be.

Just another shadow in the crowd.

Megatron would have tried to slip in unobtrusively, but with his size he couldn't help to be anything but obtrusive when he tried otherwise. Instead he arrived before the movie was supposed to start and found himself somewhere to sit.

He made sure that he was welcoming to anyone who chose to approach him.

[raceme]

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]

Blurr came back form getting more energon cubes for everyone and he sat near her, but not too near to be considered an annoyance. He was surprised that Blackarachnia accepted the invitation, but glad she decided to come.

"Humans movies are rather fun, aren't they?"

[raceme]

Shadows can't be seen, but they can still smell. Frank noticed soemthign different in the room and started to sniff around until he found what it was.

He then pawed at Kagerou to get his attention.

[raceme]

[Blurr was sitting close but at the same time he kept a certain distance from the other, he didn't want to get into anybody's personal space. Frank, however, had no such consideration and rested his head on Megatron's knee, snuggling closer. His leg was still healing and he wanted all the petting he could get.]

I'm sorry, _{if he's bothering you} I can take him out. [Blurr interfered. He rather kept Frank in a place where he could see him and check on his leg from time to time but he didn't want the turbofox pestering others.

[treacherous_widow]

The invitation had been a little bit of a surprise to her. But hey why not. It beat being stuck in a lab for hours on end or in the junk pile. Even this she-spider needed a break from time to time.

She glanced up when he sat down near her and nodded a bit before glancing back at the movie.

"I guess. Are they all like this?"

[thxforthememories]

He wasn't even really paying attention to the creature sniffing around his feet. He preferred to watch the others -- to get a feel for what they were doing, and mimic them. They were watching the screen... so he must--

He looked down.

And something twisted in his AI. There was a moment where, just for a second, the shape of the animal was all too familiar, and his mind wanted, desperately, to believe it was something -- someone -- else entirely.

All the same... he knelt. And held his hand out.

Ravage was nomming on an energon goodie when Megatron walked in. Of course the recordicon was very happy to see his leader and started to bounce around some before he jumped right into the larger mech's lap.

"Megatron!"

[raceme]

Frank's ears dropped at the confused stare but he quickly pressed his head against the other when the hand was offered. He wiggled his tail in happiness.

"Yip yip."

[thxforthememories]

"Hello."

His voice was quiet. As it always was. But his hands were sure -- his fingers lightly running over the metal, up around behind the creature's ears. It looked so familiar. Maybe it liked the same things.

... So familiar.

[raceme]

Blurr thought that people could need some company today. He needed it, even if he wasn't all that into human traditions.

"This is the second one I SAW. The first one looked different..like cartoons." Vandal showed him Beauty and the Beast.

[raceme]

"Yip?" Frank's ears go up. Familiar? Did Kagerou had a turbofox in the past? Is not as if he could tell the other is not a cybertronian, it looked like any other mech to him.

"Kagerou? Are you okay?" Blurr heard the yipping and got worried.

[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?"

[shutupndrive]

Smokescreen had debated about going then debated some more, not really sure if he wanted to but, at the same time, he knew he was just lying to himself. He really did want to go, knew he should so he wasn't just hiding away forever, and well...

It could be fun, right?

He arrived after the movie had already started and slipped in quietly, settling himself down near the back of the room. No reason to bother anyone else since they were already engrossed in the movie, right?

[raceme]

No reason to bother anybody but they will notice someone sneaking int. At least Blurr's turbofox, Frank, will notice the new scent. His ears perked up and he sniffed around until he found the new mech.

"Yip!" Got ya.

[thxforthememories]

"Yes, hello."

There was, oddly enough, the slightest of smiles on his face, as he continued smoothing his fingers over the creature's head. Petting it. It was cute, really.

But then Blurr called out, and he pulled his hands back. Just in case this wasn't allowed, or something like that.

"I'm fine."

[treacherous_widow]

Whether she paid attention to the day or not, company was welcomed. Blackarachnia was doing her best to ignore the stupid human holidays. "...This is going to sound stupid, but, what's a cartoon? We didn't have access to things like this on my world."

Being stuck several million years in Earth's past tends to limit a bots knowledge on human things.

[a_father_to_his_men]

[Megatron was petting Frank fondly, not at all upset by less than subtle request for attention.]

No, he's fine, in fact, it's kind of nice. He reminds me a little of the predacons back home, even the more regal ones liked to come for some one on one attention, appreciating having ears and other hard to reach plating scratched and soothed.

[a_father_to_his_men]

He had anticipated that kind of reaction from Ravage and had his arms so that he could make sure the recordicon didn't slide off his lap, gently placing a hand on his back once he had completed the jump.

"Hello Ravage. How are you feeling?"

[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!

[im_wavin]

"I'm totes feeling good!"

Hope you don't mind having someone climb all over you Megatron, because Ravage is trying to get up to your shoulder.
