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.)

[one day KO will learn Vandal's name...and still call her using a nickname. It was amusing to him mostly because humans look so fragile.]

That could be a good translation for it.

My pleasure, little Lady. I designed them and Barricade make them for me. It's a mix of styles, really. I think it looks nifty.

[pendragon]

The loudmouth Lady's name is Vandal, in case you weren't aware. [ She's not being smart or correcting him, she genuinely believes it sounds like he doesn't know. ]

You designed that? Now I am the one that's impressed. I applaud your taste. [ A gentle smile. ]

Are you enjoying yourself so far this eve?

[deadlydoctor]

I did not know, no. [Even if she were correcting him KO wouldn't be offended.]

I did, but a design is useless without the materials. I was lucky Barricade could find them. Now I'm designing the race track Drift wants to set in one of the quadrants. [He returns it. The idea of racing always cheers him up.]

Quite a lot. It's been centuries since I was at a party.

[pendragon]

I'm glad, and ah.. a racing track? [ There's a slight raise of pitch in her voice and a hopeful tone that gives away the idea is of interest to her. ] Care to share any details about this project?

[deadlydoctor]

Yes.[Knock out likes to know what makes people curious and what catches his attention.]

I still have to finish a few things but it will be done soon. The design, of course, we still need to find the materiala to build the real one. Do you like racing?

[pendragon]

I quite appreciate all types of racing, yes. [ Saber refrains from mentioning her Riding B rank, as that'd make little sense to Knock Out. ]

I especially like more agile and quicker vehicles such as motorcycles..

[ Is this alright to talk about? It seems odd to talk about vehicles with Cybertronians when they can transform into them.. themselves. ]

[deadlydoctor]

A woman after my own heart! [She should bring it up one day, he might be interested.]

Those aren't bad but they engine don't have a engine powerful enough to make you feel alive. [His own engine makes a revving sound.]You need to try a race car, little lady.

[He doesn't seem to mind.]

so forgive me if this sounds weird as i have troubles with vehicle-terminology, let alone this..

[pendragon]

[ Oh, now you've done it, Knock Out. Since you slandered motorcycles, she feels the need to correct him. ]

I'd agree, but there are exceptions. I had a Yamaha V-Max that was modified for me; it had a special V4 1400cc engine and about 250 horsepower out of output by time it was finished. It first worked as a two-cylinder and then boosted to full four-cylinder power when required.

[ What a beast that thing was; Saber loved it. Of course, since its own wheels would simply rotate on the pavement or throw off anyone who even touched the breaks with how much power it had, it wasn't something meant for normal humans. It was meant for her. ]

It wasn't able to be ridden under circumstances, but I am.. a bit unique in that regard when it comes to being a driver. [ Not only that, but her own power assisted the motorcycle and it only collapsed after she had pushed it past 300 kilometers per hour. It seems the blonde is reminiscing happily. ]

Pff, don't worry. I am not all that good at the terminology either.

[deadlydoctor]

[It's all Arcee's fault, really, that's mostly why he looks down on motorcycles.

Give him a moment to remember how Yamahas looks like.] That are some interesting modifications. It makes me wonder why a human like you needed to go so fast.

[The smile is still there, but there's a sharp look on his eyes. He can tell when someone is just chatting about a machine and when someone is talking about something they really love.]

I like unique drivers. Did It had a name? That special bike of yours?

[pendragon]

A name. At the time, there was a lot going on and the bike was for more practical purposes, so I didn't even think of giving it a name..

[ Saber's somewhat disappointed. Giving it a name would have been rather neat. ]

So, unfortunately not. Now I will have to think about what I would have named it. Regardless, you should keep me informed of these racing track plans. I'd even like to simply watch.

[deadlydoctor]

All the important things need a name, little Lady. [At least, all the things that matters to someone do deserve a name, in Ko's opinion.]

Make it sound powerful. I should uhm? Maybe I will.
