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.)

It's been good to watch everyone have a good time. They've all earned it, he thinks. He hasn't seen anything he's needed to intervene with, which was a pleasant surprise.

He thinks that it's far better to watch them have a good time: he can just relax, not worry about sounding stupid, or saying the wrong thing.

"It's been good," he says, quietly, shifting Barricade's cane from hand to hand. Watching Wing had been the highlight.

Everyone in one place, getting along, has to be one of the highlights of the whole event. It fans the flames of Wing's hope that they can be not only one species again, united, but not hated but others.

The dance atmosphere alone is enough to put Wing in a bit of a mood, so his approach doesn't stop until he gets close enough to nip playfully at Drift's chin.

"I'm glad." His fingers flutter over the tops of Drift's shoulders, "I've missed you though."

[sword_redemption]

"Didn't look like it from here," Drift says, grinning back before pushing off the wall. "I suppose I should do another sweep. Just in case."

[winged_knight]

"Someone has to have fun for you," he winks, "just not the same without you in it."

Wing slips a hand into the crook of Drift's arm. "I'll go with you then. Maybe we can swing by the bar for one last round?"

[sword_redemption]

"Oh. Is that what you were doing? Having my fun for me?" The pout is entirely feigned. As long as Wing had a good time, that was what mattered.

He can't help but hesitate at the way the hand snakes into his arm. Not because it's a surprise, but because it feels...nice. And he wants a klik to let it soak in. He covers Wing's hand with his own, hoping it's not too possessive seeming. "Good, maybe we'll find out if there's any fun left for me."

orz I keep missing things

[winged_knight]

"Well we're a team right?" Okay so maybe that's not exactly how it works and the twitch in Wing's lips shows that he knows it too.

"Well you're free to come claim your share anytime." He leans a little against the Drift, his other hand joining the first. "Hopefully I can be of some assistance?"

you were clearly tagging more fun things with better RPers :)

[sword_redemption]

"You're better at it." That's all. It doesn't bother him. Much. He remembers the advice Rung had given him, with a nod.

"Dance is almost over," he says, quietly.

I'm just fail and so's my inbox

[winged_knight]

"At what, having fun?" He's joking, because he know Drift knows how to have plenty of fun. "Maybe we just practice more then, hmm?"

Wing gives Drift's arm a squeeze, thumb brushing over the white plating.

"I know..." His optics lower for a moment as a coy smile spreads over his lips, "I was hoping you'd have the last one with me?"
