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.)

No. It's just... it's uncomfortable.

[STRANGER DANGER. Or something like that.] I didn't say you could.

[deadlydoctor]

That's why alcohol is foor. It makes the uncomfortable go away.

Sit down already, it's rude to stand up.

[Actually, it's more rude to be sitting while others are standing, but this is Knock Out.]

I don't bother.

[thxforthememories]

And it makes you sick the next day.

[He still needed to have that lesson in Safe Drinking with Wing, after all.]

I need to go. I have someone to find.

[If it hadn't been for the touching, or the insistence on alcohol, he'd probably feel less like running and hiding.]

[deadlydoctor]

Only if you drink too much. You get used to high grade with time but first you need to start with a few cubes. And that's how you get used to it.

[Ey Knock Out is trying to be nice.]

Someone? Who?

[thxforthememories]

I shouldn't get used to it. I don't want to.

[He's just paranoid.]

... My family.

[deadlydoctor]

Up to you then. I guess this conversation is over.

[He makes a face at the 'family comment' and sips his drink.] Ugh. You sound like an Autobot.

[thxforthememories]

... I'm not though.

[deadlydoctor]

I can tell that much.

[thxforthememories]

What is... what does that mean?

[deadlydoctor]

It means that you don't always behave like an Autobot. That's all.

Consider yourself lucky. Also, your frame needs an upgrade.

[thxforthememories]

[He shifts back again, and one hand subconsciously reaches to cover the Glyph on his arm, his wings flattening.]

My frame is fine.

[deadlydoctor]

It look like it was designed by a 14 years old anime fan who loved ninjas. The almost heart-shaped pectorals are cute, though.

[thxforthememories]

... Well. You look...

[He's really not good at this "insult" thing. He scowls.]

At least I have a nose.

[HAH. SO THERE.]

[deadlydoctor]

...

[That's the lamest comeback Knock Out has ever heard, and he knows about lame puny comebacks.] And now that you bring that up, why do you use it for?

[thxforthememories]

[He honestly has no idea why he has it... but.]

Likely... to look more human.
