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.)

I know, right? I've been so busy, I haven't even seen you on the networks!

[Granted every time he has, she's been off doing STUPID things. Her fault there.]

I'm glad you came!

[Brb hugging that leg armor.]

[redshirtrobot]

I've been missing you too! Sorry about that, I've been pretty busy.

[Aside from the shooting, that is.]

I'm glad I am too.

[His leg can't hug her back, but he can definitely put a hand around Kay's shoulders in a sort of hug.]

[littlecrowgirl]

Don't forget, you still owe me a ride!

[She puts a hand to those fingers around her shoulders, patting them lovingly.]

But for now, I'm good with just sitting here. Kinda wore my feet out on the dance floor.

[redshirtrobot]

I remember. Hey, maybe next week? If you're not doing anything, that is.

[As long as no monsters attack, too.]

Oh! You've been dancing. How. How is that, anyway?

[littlecrowgirl]

That sounds great! My schedule's pretty open, most days. When I'm not scrolling on the Link.

[Yeah, that'd be a plus. She's had her fill of those.]

Dancing? It's great! You've never done it?...

[redshirtrobot]

Oh good! I'll let Shockwave know I'll be out, in that case.

[He is excited for this. Even if humans are dangerous to hang around.]

No, I haven't. There's... never been much time for that, before I got here.

[The bad part of not knowing how to is that all this 80s music is his thing, it's terrible!]

[littlecrowgirl]

Oh gosh, yes! I'll let Mr. Kagerou know too. I'm sure he won't mind.

[He might a little but SHE IS A FREE SPIRIT AWWWYEAH.]

You never learned to dance? That just won't do!

[redshirtrobot]

[They're going to end up with a bird and a worm following them around aren't they.]

It won't? No I guess it won't... maybe you could help me?

[littlecrowgirl]

[You bet your Decepticon butt they will.]

Of course! I'll be your first dance partner, if you'd like!

[redshirtrobot]

[Best friend-date EVER!]

You will? I'd like that! Thank you, Kay.

[littlecrowgirl]

Great! Let's move out on the dance floor then. I think I can give you a 1-2 easy lesson!

[redshirtrobot]

Sounds good. Starting off easy would definitely be best.

[TO THE DANCE FLOOR FOR GREAT JUSTICE]

[littlecrowgirl]

[She hops forward, nearly dashing over to the dance floor. It was tough to find enough empty space to really work, but she'd definitely make do with what she had. The girl seems to hop in place as she waits for Fracas.]

C'mon Mr. Fracas! I'm a dancing machine! Can't be stopped!

[redshirtrobot]

[Fracas follows, carefully ducking and weaving across the dance floor to catch up with Kay, chuckling. How is it that her enthusiasm is that infectious.]

It takes me a little longer to get here.

[littlecrowgirl]

That's really funny, you'd think it'd be me! Since you know, I'm shorter.

[And like a true dork, she dances just like this. You signed up for it, Fracas.]

[redshirtrobot]

You can fit through smaller spaces than me. Like... like a mouse.

[He doesn't really know better so hey! Excellent dancing, Kay! He shall follow suit.]

[littlecrowgirl]

A mouse! That's kind of cute, actually! Mice are really cute!

<small.[Much like how watching a giant robot dance like a dork is cute.]

[redshirtrobot]

Honestly I don't know that I've ever seen one before. But I'm glad you like it?

[He is the biggest dork on the dance floor. The most awkward one too.]

[littlecrowgirl]

[That's okay. They can be awkward together. It's all good.]

You're a natural, Mr. Fracas!

[redshirtrobot]

I am? Oh, good! You're really good at this too, Kay!

[As long as they're having fun, it's a good thing, right?]

[littlecrowgirl]

Now you just have to find a real dance partner...you know, not one who's tiny like me.

Any robots you have your eye...visor thingy set onnnnn? I bet I can pull some strings. I do a mean pout face.

[redshirtrobot]

Tiny isn't so bad.

[That does get a laugh out of him.] Well, I came with Shockwave, the big spikey one? But I don't know how much he dances.

[littlecrowgirl]

Really? I always thought you guys didn't like anything really small. You know, like how a lot of humans don't like mice.

[Then again, mice could bite. Humans, not so much.]

Oh wow, really? He seems like a disco guy to me.

He'd spin you right round, baby! Like a record!

[redshirtrobot]

I'm just scared of humans because Autobots always seem to materialize around you to beat us up. But you're not so bad.

[He chuckles.]

Disco, huh? Maybe you should show me, in case he doesn't know how?

[littlecrowgirl]

Really? But if you're not doing anything...


Do you guys do anything to us in your world?

[She'll disco in a second.]
