WHAT: There's different options, check below c:
WARNINGS: None!

The more he looked, the more he discovered, the clearer it was that Magnus was nowhere to be found. That Saber was gone and that his room was empty again because his roommate went missing too. Blurr got as close to the badlands as he could looking for them but he came back to the Haven alone each time.

He wanted to explore further but due to all the recent events he was always afraid of leaving for too long. There was always some problem or another. Barricade told him that he had to reduce his stress levels and Blurr, for once, tried to listen. He worked at the bar almost each night now, trying to keep his mind occupied.

[At the bar - Middle of the night]

Drinks, drinks and more drinks. When Blurr was not mixing drink or cleaning, he was juggling cubes at a very high speed to increase his reflexes. He still needed some more practice mixing different grades of energon but at least nothing exploded anymore.

[Closing - late night]

Fun was over and it was time to restock the bar, clean and make sure that those who were too overcharged could find their way out. Blurr rubbed his helm, tired, and looked around. Then up. Then he frowned.

How that cube got stuck to the ceiling he had no idea but it was going to be a pain to get out. Even while standing on the counter and stretching his arms he was too short to reach it.

Closing~ This okay?

[winged_knight]

Wing is at the bar less and less these days: it just doesn't feel the same without the resounding tones of Soundwave's presence. There's a vacancy now, a hollow echo, that just doesn't sound right with him not here. The mech had been one of Wing's first friends when they'd all arrived here and his loss has weighed more heavily than most.

Thankfully Wing have made friends with more than just Soundwave when he arrived. He'd promised Blurr that he'd stop into the bar and lend a hand now that they were short staffed again. Law Committee business had kept the knight from arriving during the rush, but he knows closing up is some of the hardest and least rewarding work of running this establishment.

He slips in quietly, just in case there are still overcharged mechs with sensitive audio receptors lying about, looking about for the bluebot.

Closing~ of course :D

[raceme]

Blurr was feeling the vacancy as well and overworking himself was his usual coping mechanism. He tried to keep his mind occupied and at the same time do something non life threatening.

Cleaning was not life threatening, but not all that fun either. He managed to unstick the cube from the ceiling and now was rearranging the tables into their right positions. Symmetrical and organized, like Magnus liked it. It was taking Blurr a lot due to his smaller size and he was usefully trying to stand back up a table that was turned over at some point.

:3

[winged_knight]

The more you work, the less you think about the things that are troubling you, right? Well Wing's certainly been here long enough now that there are too many reminders in everyday life of the people he's lost.

But that's why it's so important to honor, support and enjoy the company of those that remain.

Wing sees Blurr and what he's doing--it's familiar, because he's done the same thing. He may not be as much of a stickler for order as Magnus, but he does like things to have their place.

"It gets raucous in here sometimes, doesn't it?" He grins from the door: a smile, tired but true. "Let me help you with that."

:3

[raceme]

Blurr always worked past the time where he should be recharging so went he finally tried to rest he wouldn't start thinking about how lonely his room was without First Aid and how empty of Magnus's presence were the Police headquarters.

He almost dropped the table in surprise. "Ah, hello Wing. Some help would be ap-prec-i-ated yes." Blurr often wished to be a stronger bot, even if he would never give his speed in exchange for it. "I'm really glad to see you."

[winged_knight]

Wing would be doing the same, except that he has someone to nag him about working late. Otherwise he'd likely work himself to exhaustion like Blurr has in the past.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." His pinions slick down at little in regret, but they lift again at Blurr's warm welcome. He moves that way to give a hand with the table, but first, a greeting. He almost reaches out to hug the smaller bot, but he hesitates at the last minute, uncertain if it's wanted. "I'm glad to be here. And you. I'm happy _{you're still here}." It's a whisper, like he doesn't want to jinx things.

[raceme]

Ah, if only Blurr had someone too, even if it were only to talk with. He shock his head, still smiling. "No it's fine I WASN'T paying attention."

Now with the table on it's place and mostly all organized Blurr could greet Wing properly. He wouldn't mind giving the other mech a hug, he would do it greatly, but he doesn't want to make a fool of himself. Perhaps Wing doesn't like that sort of things. "AH, yeah me too...uhm...Things had been hard lately."

[winged_knight]

That, at the very least, he can have. "I thought I'd come by to visit. Since I, well, didn't get a chance to before."

Wing can't help it, he puts his hands out, palms up and arms wide, offering ever so gently. An invitation, at least, should Blurr want to take it. Because there needs to be more hugs in this place. More caring, more compassion.

"They definitely have."

[raceme]

And he's really glad for it. "This is your bar more than anyone else, Wing. Is no visiting is more like coming to see what is yours."

Blurr hesitates for the shortest moment before moving closer to Wing and bury his face on the crook of your neck, Wing. "On the brigth side, I can't possibly get worse."

[winged_knight]

He makes a sentimental noise. "It's meant for all the people here...but, _{I do like calling it mine.}" Wing can't really deny that, he's enjoyed managing this place more than he expected. His work with the Law Committee is likely more beneficial overall, but it's nice to see some pleasantness among the patrons, little bits of happiness in this place. That's his biggest reward.

Wing wraps his arms around the smaller bot, pressing his face to the blue helm (minding the spike of course). Wing can think of ways it could get worse, but not right now. This is too nice. "We'll get through it. And not alone."

[raceme]

Blurr smile softly upon hearing that. "As you should. It's something special, much more than just a place to come to drink and relax."

He doesn't get hugged all that often, not really having all that much physical contact with anybody in the past, but its something Blurr really enjoys. He rubs his faceplate against Wing's, softly. "strength through unity, they say."

[winged_knight]

He grins, a little sheepishly. It's a touch selfish, after all. But he is proud of this place. "I'm glad it's brought people together. That was the intention, after all."

Don't let Wing know that Blurr, he lives of small bits of physical contact like it was food for the spark, he couldn't imagine someone who's been starved of it. He gives him a good squeeze, happy they can be this close again. "Yes. And unity we need more than ever now."

[raceme]

Nothing wrong about being proud for the little victories. "A lot of people seems to like it, and while they drink they don't fight."

Would it be so bad if Wing knew? It must be pretty obvious by now, Blurr is still clinging onto him. "Hm. yes. There's been some strange thing going on. My glyph changed again too, I'm not sure what is happening."

sooooo late it's gross~

[winged_knight]

He knows, but he tries not to get a big head about it. "That is a nice benefit, isn't it? And I like hanging out here with people." Including you Blurr, his smile seems to say.

Blurr can hug Wing all he wants. Sometimes we have lost time to make up for, so Blurr should take all the time he needs right now. "Stranger than I'm comfortable with, yes. And...mine's changed too." He wants to take it as a good sign. Please, he prays, let it be a good sign?

Bah, it's fine!

[raceme]

"Ithinkso." Blurr likes it too, when that people is not Dead End. Their most recent coworker has a penchant for listing all the things Blurr is doing wrong when he tries to prepare a drink.

The hug last but a few more seconds then, but Blurr doesn't want to make things awkward so he pulls away with a smile. He looks at Wing's Glyph. "Did you gain any new abilities' That's usually what happens."

[winged_knight]

Blurr needs to hang out more often when he isn't working then, and just relax. Yes that's right! Reeeelax.

Wing's arms release the smaller mech with a smile. His optics follow Blurr's to his glyph which is now outlined in violet. "I don't know. I haven't noticed anything different, but then it took me a little while to notice Vector's first boon too. Do you have anything new?"

[raceme]

Relaaaa....ah? That words sounds barely familiar. He might tray ti one day. Maybe. If he dies

They share the same outline, Blurr like the idea. "No, not that I have noticed." He got Solus power up but since BLurr's usually all that excited there was no real difference in his behavior. "But I'm fine and that's what counts. Maybe we need to figure out what you got."
