A formal dance.

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.)

We are working on that, I give you my word that soon enough we will have more infrastructures for everyone. I plan on exploring more of the planet too, to see if there's food available out there.

[Blurr doesn't really have a place to go. Thanks to Cheetor he knows what will happen to him if he gets back.]

I have the same problem with Cybertronians from others universes, I can only imagine how strange this is for organics. You can ask me anything, you know.

[ There are a few things Saber would like to ask, but she doesn't feel quite close enough to any Cybertronian yet to be that personal. She's also a prude and asking such things is unthinkable for her. ]

Is it.. ah.. considered rude to drive a Cybertronian in their.. [ She pauses, thinking. ] What was it, alternate mode? I suppose they could offer, but I assume many don't? Or..? [ She was thinking of this as severe personal space invasion. ]

[Maybe with time she will be able to ask even more personal things. Blurr won't mind, he's used to questions.]

He actually chuckles. It's not the first time he gets asked that.] Yes it's _{alternate mode}It's not rude if you ask permission first or the Cybertronian in question offers you a ride. Many of us don't like it while those who lived on Earth or some sort of organic planet are more used to it. Personally, I don't mind.

[It can be.] But if a Cybertronian really doesn't want you inside him, be sure that it would be impossible for you to actually open a door or a window to get inside.

[ Saber pauses, as that made plenty of sense. ] I see. It is realistic that I would simply be locked out. I was asking as I have been a passenger once, but was wondering what it would be like to drive .. one of you. [ To her, this conversation is all kinds of awkward. ]

I have this passive driving ability that draws out potential in a vehicle, so it makes me curious..

[Cybertronians are picky about their interiors, yep. It's understandable.

Blurr straightens at that last question and this time he does look slightly uncomfortable. When he was in Detroit a human named Master Disaster manipulated him using a remote control that contained an AllSpark fragment and forced him to participate in the Street Demon races.

He couldn't change back or control his own body and that both angered and scared him. But of course allowing someone to drive you was not exactly the same.]

Doing that implies giving the person driving control over our engine. Not much, we can always force it to stop, but it's more personal.

[What the what.] SorryyoucandoWHAt?

[ His sudden reaction surprises her a bit. ]

W-well, [ as she starts speaking, her eyes return from their widened state somewhat, ] I have this passive ability. It's a rank B in "Riding". When driving a vehicle, it allows me to quickly analyze and "feel out" the vehicle so I can drive it to the best of its potential. Much more than anyone without this ability would be able to. So I'm thinking for someone sentient, they'd likely get a performance boost, but it's.. hard to say. We'd have to be in total cooperation.

[ And also explain. Saber was just a driver, and an amazing one. She could push any vehicle to its limits and then.. with Prana Burst, push it even further. ]

Oh..that's really...eh...interesting. [If Blurr could blush, he would be doing that. Feel out the vehicle? It's the first time he meets someone with that ability.] All the humans in your world can do that?

A performance boost like..increase the speed, or...? [Blurr would be lying if he said he's not curious about what she can do.] And you want to try it. With...a Cybertronian.

Oh, no, very.. select few. And truth be told, they weren't.. we were not.. actual humans. [ Saber cleared her throat a bit awkwardly. It was always a bit difficult when someone assumed she was an example of the humans where she came from. No, she was a major exception.. ]

I think it would depend on the Cybertronian. For me on a motorcycle, I increased its speed and power immensely not only with my passive ability, but with my more active one called Prana Burst. And since the vehicle at that state was impossible to drive by normal means, my Riding rank allowed me to control it with ease. I believe that if I were to say.. sync with a Cybertronian like this, I would likely boost whatever aspect of them is their strongest feature. I would also focus on that aspect as well to get the most out of it. Speed and power and precision are the two things that I seem able to boost.

[ And with her passive ability, since she could read vehicles so well.. ] I wouldn't even be comfortable trying this with someone if they agreed unless I knew them quite well. I am unsure how well I'd be able to "read" them, but I wouldn't want to pry into them unless there was a total link of trust.

Edited (updated, forgot something!) 2013-03-04 21:55 (UTC)

[He notices the awkwardness.]Sorry I didn't know. I was not my intention to pry or _{make you uncomfortable.

That's quite amazing. I am one of the fastest Cybertronian out there, if not the fastest and I can outrun a jet. What do you think it could happen if I get a boost like that? [Blurr is quite impressed with her ability and more than a little bit curious. Still a bit unsure, though.]

That makes sense. Does the link hurt you in any way if it's done wrong?}

Oh, no. I only feel uncomfortable since I believe this would be uncomfortable for a Cybertronian. [ She's so considerate it affects herself, sometimes. ]

I haven't used the ability on anything sentient, however I do know someone who rode a horse with the ability. If the horse didn't fully trust her, it'd cause issues and they could make each other feel their own uncertainty and woes. The effect would be hampered, then..

[ Ah, so Blurr is fast? Well, it does make sense as to his name. ] What is your alternate mode, if you don't mind?

I can't tell you for sure, you will have to try it with someone. [Saber you are too nice for your own good.]It does sound like it could be an advantage too, specially when we have to fight.

[Yup. Cybertronians are so original when it comes to name things.] A sports car. I could show you if you want _{but we need to} leave the bar. Ho-we-ver I'm just as fast, if no more, in my normal body.

I see. That is quite the useful alternate mode..

[ Saber nods once. Frankly, there's no one she would consider even mentioning this to asides from Blurr. ] Well, truth be told.. I haven't told anyone asides from you. I think it'd be best if it wasn't a wide known fact. [ She lowers her head once as she speaks, going quiet. The knight had just trusted him the most with the information to get his opinion on it; Ventus knew she was a Heroic Spirit, but not much else. ..Blurr knew everything else, but had never questioned her about it. He hadn't even questioned her comment about not being a human. ]

Thank you, Blurr, [ she begins a bit more softly, ] for speaking to me so openly. [ Maybe it sounds like she means just this conversation, but.. she's referring to it all. He just doesn't seem to judge whatsoever, which she is thankful for. ]

It helped me in many occasions. [Such as that one where he launched himself at a decepticon that was 3 times his size. Bliztwing probably still remembers that.]

Oh. I won't tell anybody, you have my word. [He feels touched that she trust him that much. And he takes his promises really seriously.

Blurr doesn't usually touch others but she trusted him with an important secret and he wants to comfort her somehow. He moves one of his hand close to her face, carefully brushing her cheek with a finger.]You don't have to thank me. That's what friends are for, right? I should thank you for trusting me with that.

[ A confirming nod is made when he he says he won't share the information and then..

Oh, what was this? Her face begins to burn awkwardly as he brushes her cheek. Any type of physical contact is extremely foreign to Saber, and although she feels slightly uncomfortable with it.. it also makes her feel quite warm and appreciated. ]

Ah, yes. I agree. You, too, can talk to or ask me about anything, Blurr. [ As Blurr goes to withdraw his hand, Saber goes to clutch it with her own two hands. His hands are much larger than hers, obviously, so she can only clutch onto the sides of his hands and not the entire thing. Still, the genuine meaning is there and she hopes he takes it appropriately. Even as she holds his hand there, she continued to flush a gentle pink in her cheeks. After a moment, she then lets go. ]

I am still attempting to find my place in the grand scheme of it all, but I think having someone to talk to easily is a good first step..

He won't touch her for long, both to not make this awkward and to be sure he doesn't cause her damage in any way. Blurr's surprised when she reaches out for his hand and he smiles warmly. Someone to talk with would be nice right now, specially after all that happened that last few days.]

I will remember that, thanks Saber. [He's wondering why her checks are slightly pink, he knows that happens to humans when they are cold or nervous, but Blurr doesn't question it. She blushed too when he asked her if she was seeing Vandal after all.]

Trust me I ^{know how} that feels. I was _{an odd one even} in my home planet. [And this is why his best friends where a kid robot that only spoke in rhymes and a giant mech who barely talked at all.]

I believe there's a few hours left in the night before everyone begins to head "home." I'll take my leave here and go back to patroling. Please, take care of yourself, Blurr.

[ She feels somewhat bad for him, but not in a pitying way. He's just been through so much recently. Although, Saber only cares in the first place since she genuinely respects him..

The knight looks down at the floor, which is.. quite a distance away. ]

Beg pardon, but.. would you help me down? [ She asks this a bit sheepishly. If anyone else had offered to help her up the seat, she would have said no to simply preserve her image.. ]

I've have done my patrols in the morning just in case I decided to drink anything at the party. [And since he started drinking quite a lot, he better not change into his car mode for a few hours.] _{Don't work until too late please you should rest too.

[ That's great because Blurr doesn't want to be pitied and he cares a lot about respect.]

Of course madam. [Blurr holds out one of his hands while the other is slightly more raised, both to cover up from prying eyes and to catch her if she falls down.] Goodnight Saber. Thank you a lot for everything.}

You too, Blurr. I think I will do one more round at the dance, and then return to Vector Prime's to patrol for an hour so and then.. [ For once, Saber takes the "you should rest, too" seriously. It's not often she does, but perhaps he's right. ] head to bed, as you recommend. That sounds nice.

[ She grips onto his hand and scrambles her way down, in a very agile way. It's quite impressive for someone so small. His other hand isn't needed as she drops from his hand safely to the ground and adjusts herself. ]

Take care. [ Letting herself stand there for a moment, she plans the best way to weave between the Cybertronians and leaves to go to the Atrium. ]
