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.)

[The wall is a very friendly, non troublesome, place. He liked it it here. Blurr was taken off guard by the compliment and he looked up, blinking.]

Oh, good night Blackarachnia. Nice neckla...ah..dance?

[treacherous_widow]

[As comfortable as the wall may be, it's not fun.]

I made it myself. Now come on, I'm not taking no for an answer.

[She reaches for his arm with her claw and tries to pull him closer to her and hopefully into actually enjoying himself.]

[raceme]

You have talent for those things, just like Barricade. He made the headdress I'm wearing.

[Blurr can never say no to ladies anyway. He allows himself to be pulled without much resistance, even smiling a little.]

You said _{dancing is a bit like} fighting, right?

[treacherous_widow]

Oh yeah? Well he does nice work. May have to compare notes on thing like this sometime.

[Good because she's not accepting 'No' for an answer.]

Exactly. And just like dancing, it takes two to tango. So come on, move with me.

[Aaand she begins to move with a sway of her hips and a few feints. As you can tell, she's used to fighting and just translating it to the music.]

[raceme]

That's a good idea, you two could even design all sort of things together. We do need more creative people here.

[Blurr follows, of course, not so used to move that slow but trying his best not to lose the rhythm.]

What is Tango?
