A formal dance.

[pendragon]

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: The Atrium, Haven's Hub.
WHEN: Today! The dance will go on from the late afternoon until the early hours of the morning.
WHAT: Have your top hat and cane? This is a formal ball. The origination is a drunken Vandal and battle-worn Saber.
WARNINGS: Could be anything from bar fights to drunken swearing to people tripping over their own feet or people making out in a corner.

Welcome to the dance!      The Atrium will have its doors open in the late evening. For the first two hours, Vandal and Drift will be acting as receptionist and bouncer. After that, the doors close. At the reception desk, you will be required to sign your name and also hand over any weapons that you are carrying. (Within the building there is an inhibitor placed. No one will be able to use any weaponry on their person.)      The Atrium is decorated in royal purple and black, with accents of white and pearl. The decorations are standard fair for a ball. There's hanging draperies, table clothes, and colored lighting. Towards the outside of the circular Atrium, everyone will be under a glowing white light. Towards the middle of the dance floor, there is a much softer lavender that illuminates the immediate area.      Vandal and Saber organized and planned, and then helped with decorations. They will also be over seeing the event throughout the entire night. Vandal will be handling the reception desk and registration. We have Frenzy as our DJ in the Atrium, and Miko will be playing electric guitar for those who decide to visit the bar. Saber, Ironhide, and McCrane will be acting as security. They would be the best to contact should you have any.. safety concerns. Our bouncer, Drift, will be "on call" for security once his primary assignment is done. Kay organized and lead the decorating, and Ravage and McCrane helped with placing them. Melan and Joe gathered needed materials. Skidaddle is the one to blame for having the supply of available hats at the doors for any Cybertronian who tries to get past the one piece of attire rule.      Feel free to post in any sub-forum area you think your character would be present in (with or without an opening post), or merely tag others. Prose or action-spam is okay (and you may want to include this in your initial posts if you want others to tag you). Bonus: include links to garments your character may be wearing. This is entirely up to you! Have fun!      Make sure to add your character to the tags! (That's the registry.)

PAGING VANDAL :D

[sword_redemption]

[Who knew what deviousness lurked in the hearts of women? Not Drift. At all. But he felt he had to reciprocate in the Ridonkulous Clothing department and so he's waiting for the Hostess to arrive, holding a box. ]

[It is corsage time.]

[Payback time? ]

/LEAPS ON

[vandalization]

[ Well this is every kind of uncomfortable and out of place. Vandal can distinctly remember the last time she wore a dress, and she'd rather not.

She'd chosen some dark red thing. Simple. Not too floofy or anything like that, heels, and look, she even did her hair and makeup. When she cleans up she hardly looks like Vandal, actually.

But there is the small comforts, like her friends here, and that's good. It's a party, so she'll try.

And she'll start with Drift. ]

Hey there, handsome boy. You come here often?

[sword_redemption]

[Drift can empathize. His dress-wearing had been a miserable experience. Only now, it's even worse because Shaoshao thinks he's a pervert. So, he's not a fan of dresses.

[Until he sees Vandal. He hopes the double-take isn't rude. ]

No, I thought they just built this pla---oh. [Oh, that wasn't literal. Oops. Drift, fails at suave.]

You look beautiful. I mean.

Uh.

More than usual, even.

[Frag, compliments are a minefield.]

[vandalization]

[ Well it gets a laugh from her. She wouldn't have him any other way.

Moving closer, she places a reassuring hand on his leg. ]

Thank you, Drift.

[ Grin. ]

Lookin' pretty cute yourself.

[sword_redemption]

['Cute' is one of those words that automatically makes Drift squirm.]

[So, hope that was the effect you were going for, Vandal. Until he remembers his ginormous box. Which he thrusts out to her.]

Corsage.

[If she has the courage and guts to open the box she will find, well, it's probably technically a corsage? Maybe? A really damn big spray of white flowers, that is connected by a little daisy chain of flowers woven into a small silver chain onto a wrist corsage. He couldn't figure out which kind would work better so...he got both. ]

[Because he is all about overkill.]

[vandalization]

[ Holy crap that definitely overkill. But nobody has really done this for her before, and it's really nice. So she'll wear it without batting an eye.

She grins up at him. ]

It's beautiful, Drift. Thank you.

Could you come down here please, for a second?

[sword_redemption]

Is it? [He really is unsure. He operates on a more=better scale. And by that, this would be the best corsage combo in the history of corsages.]

I still think a tiara would have been better. [And seeing this, Vandal can just imagine what kind of tiara he would have picked out.]

[He nods, dropping down to one knee. ]

[vandalization]

It is.

[ When he's within range, she stretches up to give him a quick kiss. ]

Thank you. You're such a sweetheart.

[sword_redemption]

[He blinks at the kiss. He wants to hug her but, you know. Dress. And now flowers. Later, he tells himself.]

I just wanted everyone to notice you.

[And now they will!]

[vandalization]

[ Uhg he's so cute. She has to cover her mouth to hide her grin as it gets bigger. ]

As long as you notice me, I'm happy.
