OOC: Currently closed to Wedge, Mayday, and Long Haul. Once the room assignments are done, may open. Very early into the trip, probably just day one or two.Long Haul enters the Med-Sci-Engineering common area and trudges towards a central table. The table is flat, and has a screen built into it. On it, he calls up the most recent room assignment list ( here ) and then peers around, waiting for the others who are supposed to help him with this. There are a lot more people to assign rooms to, now! They'd better get cracking!

After a few moments, Mayday pokes his head in one of the entrances and peers around suspiciously. Upon spotting Long Haul, he skulks in, idly wringing his hands, and takes a place by the table. He eyes a chair for a moment, shudders, and decides he'd rather stand. They'd better get this over with quickly, he hates standing for long periods of times. His ankles totally get complainy.
He raises a hand and wiggles his fingers slightly in greeting to Long Haul. "Uh, hi."

Wedge strides into the room not too long after Mayday, pausing to give Long Haul and Mayday grin and a wave before joining them at the table. "Hey there, Long Haul, Mayday." No, he doesn't sit either, opting instead to stand as he studies the list again. Man, it's been a while since they've looked at this.
"Whoa, it's been a while since we've worked on this...Lots more people to work together now, right?" He looks at the list and then runs through the number of new arrivals that they've had since then. A lot. Whew. "Guess we really do need an update, huh?" He chuckles.

Long Haul nods to Mayday. "Hey," he greets, then turns towards Wedge. "Well, yeah. We kinda stopped assigning rooms when they destroyed our base - we just kind of flopped any old where in the tunnels."
"I figure we can start with the old room assignments as a basis," Long Haul begins. "Omega Supreme's room is the hanger, though. We still got a big room for new arrivals to go until we get around to gettin' 'em rooms, and we got some empty rooms, but... well, we don't know how many new arrivals we're gettin', you know? So we can probably go with three people inna room, which'll leave a few open and not get folks too over crowded. 'Cept I was told to leave Emirate Xaaron and Rodimus alone, and, well, Jazz is onna the guys we left behind to greet new arrivals.1"
He lays out the list of currently assigned folks, then the list of unassigned.
Room 1: Emirate Xaaron - Rodimus Prime Room 2: Long Haul - Rattrap - Pee-Dee Room 3: Grimlock - Nightbeat - Slag Room 4: Swerve - Kup Room 5: Firebolt - Perceptor Room 6: Synapse - Airazor Room 7: Wedge - Sideburn Room 8: Holi - Wheelie - Skyfire Room 9: Skyblast - Slingshot - Oracle Room 10: Mirage - Bumblebee - Goldbug Room 11: First Aid - Arcee Room 12: Botanica - Boondocker Room 13: Evac - Makeshift
Hanger: Omega Supreme
Unassigned: Ironfire, Optimus Prime, Tracks, Override, Skid-Z, Ultra Magnus, Springer, Spy Shot 6, Ramulus, Mayday, Clipper, Scrapper, Dai-Janku, Jetfire, Blurr, Prowl, Jetstorm, Silverbolt, Elita-1, Sentinel Prime
"So, uhm... that's what we got."
1 Worked out with Jazz.

"I get my own room!" Mayday shouts, almost before Long Haul is done speaking. "I, uh, get my own room? Please?"
He has one all picked out and everything! And by 'picked out' he means he totally designed it with himself in mind. It's small and pristine and would be totally wasted as a storage closet.
"Hrm. So, um, should we try to sort the rest of them by... reality or something? Or size?" He eyes the list trying to pick out which bots he's actually met. He doesn't get out often, after all. "Or alphabetically? ...Non-clashing colour schemes?"

"Whoa! Someone's excited," Wedge laughs. "Well, we'll see. We can take a look at that option after we've sorted everyone else out, if you don't mind?" This is the right way to address it right? Gosh, it's still really different addressing a team larger then four.
He looks back at the list for a moment and runs the edge of his finger across his chin. "Well...do we have anyone in the list that would prefer to be with someone? What about personalities?" Wedge runs through the names and pulls up what information he has on the bots that he's met.
Ironfire has a good personality, but with her there's size consideration too. Then there's Optimus Prime, he's pretty cool and seems to be easy to get along with. Tracks, Override, Skid-Z, and Blurr are all fast types (Blurr, hasn't met him, but that sounds fast, right?). But speaking of Skid-Z...
"I'm sure Sideburn wouldn't mind if we had Skid-Z. I certainly won't mind." He's welcome it!

"Well, mostly we're trying to give people roommates what won't make them miserable," Long Haul explains, even if they frequently make well-meaning but misguided choices that just so happen to be hilarious. Then he looks up at Mayday. "But for you, we'll make an exception, since, y'know, not even the bosses get their own room, so you ain't getting one."
Long Haul looks down at the list. "Well, looks like I did leave a few names on there that I shouldn't have, actually, what with the folks that stayed behind and all, but those are good suggestions, I think." He leans forward and taps a few times, removing the wrong names, adding Skid-Z to Wedge's room, and grouping the other three together.
Room 1: Emirate Xaaron - Rodimus Prime Room 2: Long Haul - Rattrap - Pee-Dee Room 3: Grimlock - Nightbeat - Slag Room 4: Swerve - Kup Room 5: Firebolt - Perceptor Room 6: Synapse - Airazor Room 7: Wedge - Sideburn - Skid-Z Room 8: Holi - Wheelie - Skyfire Room 9: Skyblast - Slingshot - Oracle Room 10: Mirage Room 11: First Aid - Arcee Room 12: Botanica - Boondocker Room 13: Makeshift Room 14: Tracks - Blurr - Override
Hanger: Omega Supreme
Unassigned: Ironfire, Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Springer, Spy Shot 6, Ramulus, Mayday, Clipper, Scrapper, Dai-Janku, Jetfire, Prowl, Jetstorm, Silverbolt, Elita-1, Sentinel Prime
"So, uhm... who we going to put with Swerve and Kup?" he asks, then considers. "Actually, should we put anyone with Swerve and Kup? Swerve's kind of, well, Swerve. Still."
OOC: Dropped characters removed from the list, because having unplayed roommates isn't as fun.

"I- buh- wha-!" Mayday stares at Long Haul like he just gave him a brand-new puppy and then proceeded to set it on fire. Well, how a person who actually liked puppies would look if that happened, given that he'd probably react to being given a puppy like a normal person would react to being handed a diseased sewer rat.
After making a few whiny noises, he finally huffs, crosses his arms tightly over his chest, and glares sullenly at the list of names. He totally deserves his own room. For doing stuff. Yeah.
"Shouldn't we worry about putting people with Mirage and Makeshift first?" He is totally not pouting childishly right now, not at all. "Wouldn't want them to be alone in their own rooms. Without roommates of questionable hygiene. Who could infect them with who knows..." Mayday trails of into largely incomprehensible muttering.

Well, guess that solves the issue!
"Hope the fast three get along alright, then," Wedge says as he watches Long Haul adjust the listing.
Mayday's pouting gets a curious look from Wedge. "Hey now, rooming with other people won't be too bad at all." He casts a glance down the list. "Anyone here you wouldn't mind rooming with?" There are quite a few to choose from, after all!
"Ah, with Swerve and Kup?" This will be an interesting one. "Well, Swerve isn't bad as long as you don't bother him." This is definitely something Wedge has learned during the exploration across Gillanan III. "So if we put someone in there that knows to keep to themselves or is easy to get along with that'd probably be good."
"We can put Jetfire and Jetstorm together." Who is Wedge to separate them? "...dunno who to put with them but they both seem pretty cool," he continues, tapping the list as he thinks. "Then there's Prowl, he seems to be a quiet guy. I'm not sure if he likes quiet, but if he does there's Synapse and Airazor, their room is still a double. We could also put him with Mirage if you don't think he'd get along with those two--or Swerve and Kup."

"Hey, sounds like someone just volunteered to be Mirage's roommate!" Long Haul says brightly as Mayday complains about Mirage's lack of roommates. Then he points towards Wedge. "Actually, Emirate Xaaron said I should put Prowl inna quiet room, so Synapse and Airazor works."
He rubs his chin. "Rather than lookin' at the empty rooms, we should maybe look at the list of folks what don't have any. Jetstorm and Jetfire together sounds fair. With Makeshift, maybe? Okay, uhm... next unassigned is back to Ironfire..."
Room 1: Emirate Xaaron - Rodimus Prime Room 2: Long Haul - Rattrap - Pee-Dee Room 3: Grimlock - Nightbeat - Slag Room 4: Swerve - Kup Room 5: Firebolt - Perceptor Room 6: Synapse - Airazor - Prowl Room 7: Wedge - Sideburn - Skid-Z Room 8: Holi - Wheelie - Skyfire Room 9: Skyblast - Slingshot - Oracle Room 10: Mirage - Mayday Room 11: First Aid - Arcee Room 12: Botanica - Boondocker Room 13: Makeshift - Jetfire - Jetstorm Room 14: Tracks - Blurr - Override

"Nrghk!" Mayday opens his mouth to complain again, but decides against it. Best not to draw further attention to himself and his rooming situation, or he might end up with... with... one of the part-organics or something. Not that they aren't perfectly nice people, some of them! They're just... kind of icky, too.
So he shuts his trap and eyes the list. Ironfire, huh? Ironfire was a fembot, right? He has a bad habit of not paying attention to that sort of thing. Then there's Clipper and Elita-1...
"Maybe we should put the rest of the fembots together," he mumbles. It feels like the polite thing to do, for whatever reason.

"Hmmm."
Looks like they're getting some work done though! Wedge rubs his hands together and runs through the list---now firmly memorized in his memory banks--again.
"Put all the fembots together?" Wedge tilts his head at Mayday's suggestion. "Why's that?" He's not against the idea, but just honestly a little confused about this suggestion. It's almost like saying, 'Let's put all the small bots together!' (which by the way is now Spy Shot, Clipper, and Silverbolt). Granted--this may be because Wedge hasn't met many female bots before arriving on Gillanan...
"Hmm well, we can put Ramulus with Botanica and Boondocker, he likes nature doesn't he? And Boondocker's a pretty nice mech."
"Mmm...how about Dai-Janku with Perceptor and Firebolt, then we can put Optimus with First Aid and Arcee," Wedge looks to Long Haul and Mayday again as he pauses. Just want to make sure the suggestion are alright and he's not making any bad calls on this...

"Sure, that sounds good," Long Haul agrees, scribbling down names. "Though I don't get why we're putting the females together, neither." He puts Optimus Prime's name next to Arcee's, a move that's likely to get Arcee in trouble with Elita-1, not that Long Haul knows.
He looks down at the updated list.
"Y'know," he points out, "we're gonna have to put Sentinel Prime with someone." He pauses. "Ultra Magnus, maybe? 'Cos he's used to getting bossed around by Ultra Magnii? And then we can put Springer with 'em, 'Cos Springer and Ultra Magnus are both whaddayacallit, Demolitioners. And, well, Sentinel's from a special type group too, right? S'what he keeps bragging about."
Room 1: Emirate Xaaron - Rodimus Prime Room 2: Long Haul - Rattrap - Pee-Dee Room 3: Grimlock - Nightbeat - Slag Room 4: Swerve - Kup Room 5: Firebolt - Perceptor - Dai-Janku Room 6: Synapse - Airazor - Prowl Room 7: Wedge - Sideburn - Skid-Z Room 8: Holi - Wheelie - Skyfire Room 9: Skyblast - Slingshot - Oracle Room 10: Mirage - Mayday Room 11: First Aid - Arcee - Optimus Prime Room 12: Botanica - Boondocker - Ramulus Room 13: Makeshift - Jetfire - Jetstorm Room 14: Tracks - Blurr - Override Room 15: Ironfire - Clipper - Elita-1 Room 16: Ultra Magnus, Sentinel Prime, Springer

"I don't know, it's just one of those things," Mayday tries to explain about fembots. "Like, it's polite or something. I think."
To be honest, Mayday doesn't really get fembots either. Or get if there's supposed to be something to get about them. This isn't especially surprising, however, as he sometimes has difficulty understanding people in general sometimes. Subcategories of people aren't exempt from being confusing.
He eyes the blank spot next to his name, hoping that the other two don't bother to notice it as well, and attempts to casually say, "Hey look, there's three unassigned left! Might as well throw them all together, I'm sure they'll get along smashingly!"
And by attempting to be casual he just ends up sounding overly enthusiastic and almost sarcastic. Curse you, abysmal acting skills.

"Sentinel with Ultra Magnus?" It's a split second pause, but Wedge nods. It still takes a moment for him to equate this version of Ultra Magnus with not his world's Ultra Magnus. His world's Ultra Magnus probably wouldn't get along with Sentinel too well from what Wedge has heard. But... "That sounds good to me as well as adding Springer in there, Long Haul."
"Alright! Mayday's right, we just have three mechs left without a room. I guess we can put them all in a separate room, I mean, unless we want to fill up the rooms we have and leave one of these guys by himself," Wedge isn't too fond of that idea. "Hey, it'll be the 'S' room," Wedge quips with a sheepish grin. Yes, he knows it's a really bad joke.
