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.)

Power Joe | Prose or action spam is fine

[kungfugeek]

[Parties were supposed to be fun, weren't they? Well, that was the original intent for Power Joe. He personally loved parties, and enjoyed being around people. In fact, he even dressed up for the occasion, with a little hat hanging off of one of his ear thingies.

But...now he was on a mission. What mission is this, you say? Well, Kagerou had come to the dance as well. With a human.

Hello red flags.

So he's doing what any rational BP would do--and stalk the hell out of them to make sure that he doesn't grab her and hold a kusarigama to her neck. Not that...that actually happened or anything. Just hypothesizing.]

[thxforthememories]

[Parties were supposed to be fun.]

[But he'd never been to one before. And, in all honesty, he felt crowded. Pressed against a wall, even though he was up and walking around.]

[And then he feels someone staring at him. He turns slightly.]

[... Locking optics with Power Joe across the room.]

[kungfugeek]

[Those optics lock, and PJ can't help but...stare. Just what do you think you're doing, Kagerou. BEIN' SOCIAL.

Okay fine. He'll walk over and SEE what you're UP TO. SIGH.]

Oi, Ninja.

[thxforthememories]

[He was just standing here. What is your problem.]

[When the other BP approaches, he can't help but tense a little, drawing himself up, like he's expecting a fight.]

What is it?

[kungfugeek]

[His problem is you're kind of a potential girl killer and you came with a girl. He thinks it's pretty legit.

He senses that tension, though, and tenses up himself. Kagerou seemed very much like a cornered animal.]

...Having fun? Seems like there's a lot to do.

[thxforthememories]

[Honestly, if PJ hadn't cornered him, he probably wouldn't be bristling like this.]

[... It feels familiar. Too familiar.]

I'm fine.

... What is it you want?

[kungfugeek]

...You brought a girl.

[Might as well be direct.]

[thxforthememories]

... What of it?

[This is about Kay? He seems to bristle further, his wings flaring. Why does Joe want to know about Kay?]

[kungfugeek]

[Power Joe sees those wings flare and...shies away for a moment. That was... intimidating.]

Just...don't try any funny stuff, okay?

[thxforthememories]

Why would I "try any funny stuff" on Kay?

[His posture doesn't change. He's like an angry bird, sensing a threat to his nest.]

[Or something.]

[kungfugeek]

[And PJ senses that angry bird vibe. It causes him to back off on that subject...slightly.]</small. Who is she, anyway?

[thxforthememories]

[His wings flick, and he lifts his chin. His whole posture dares Power Joe to say anything... bad... on this subject.]

My family.

[kungfugeek]

...




What??

[thxforthememories]

Kay is my family.

[He repeats it, more firmly, and folds his arms. It's... a pose more commonly seen on another ninjabot entirely.]

We protect each other.

[kungfugeek]

F...Family??

[If you wanted to shock PJ, Kagerou, you did an A+ job.]

She's...your family?

[thxforthememories]

Yes.

[His wings flick, irritably.]

She told me so. And I agree with her. I would never hurt her.

[kungfugeek]

...

I didn't know.

[Please don't peck his eyes out.]

[thxforthememories]

There is a lot you don't know of me.

You, and the rest of the Brave Police.

[kungfugeek]

...

[Slight smile.]

That's the point of a ninja, newbie.

[thxforthememories]

[... TWITCH.]

...

What did you call me?

[kungfugeek]

...Newbie.

You're the new guy on the squad, right? It's a nickname.

[thxforthememories]

Did he tell you to call me that?

[kungfugeek]

...Who?

[thxforthememories]

Gunmax.

He wouldn't stop calling me that.

[kungfugeek]

Well did you call him something back?

[BECAUSE THAT'S HOW ADULTS WORK.]
