Mirage has not gone away, and while an answer wasn't exactly required, it was the manner of either answering or not which is of interest to the spy. One can tell a lot by paying attention to what is not said.
And it took Rodimus a bit to formulate a comeback, but it was a classic one, so points of a sort must be handed out.
He shrugs, "I seize what chances for pleasure I can when chance allows. I would say I have kept myself busy, yes." The slight smile he turns up at the Boy Prime is a bit rakish. "The company is also, for the most part, quite pleasing, and that is always helpful when on a long journey."

Tracks's lips quirk into a crooked smile as he catches the wave from Mirage. He lifts his own flask in a small toast towards the racer before downing the lot. To you, good sir--with a dash of luck as well. Goodness, that burns nicely going down.
"Hopefully, I look forward to drinking with company so I don't have to suffer that dismal fate," he laughs to Oracle's response and gives her a charming nod. "Your company, for one, I wouldn't mind in the least." Tracks looks over at Perceptor as well. "And yours as well." Mmm interesting looking drink there, Perceptor, interesting indeed. Tracks makes a mental note to sample that pretty bit---later though. First he picks up a refill in the form of a sparking red beverage, its fumes reminding Tracks of hot leather and old gas stations.
He looks over at the group surrounding Rodimus and nearly snorts into his bowl as he spots the look Mirage is leveling at the Prime. "This should be interesting," Tracks mutters into his drink in an amused but not unfondly manner.

Huh, Golden Fizz? Wedge looks the drink in Skyfire's hand and then at the array all around the room. So try the sample the other mech's having or go check out some of that fizzing and sparking stuff over there?
Fizzing and sparking means exciting--the latter then. It also helps that the drink seems to be an odd mix of colors. Explosive looking and a bit of eye-candy! Wedge slides over to nab the drink and returns looking more than a bit pleased and perhaps a little anxious. Heavy Load would never let him get away with this stuff without asking about it first.
But Heavy Load isn't here. With something that's between a scowl and a frown, Wedge tips back one gulp. It's utterly warm all the way down and fills his senses with a full tingly buzz for a few moments before it all fades away. Wedge shakes his head once, clearing his processor of whatever remnant fuzz there was left.
That...that was different---but not bad, not bad at all. He takes another gulp.

Botanica is too used to being considered an oddity to be phased by Jetfire's casual bogglement, and so she just smiles and shakes her head. Ah, well. Maybe one day they'll get another from her time, and she'll cease being the odd duck out.
She does, however, give that open palm a critical glance. She isn't too keen on being carried about. However, it would make it a bit easier to introduce Jetfire about, and limit her vines getting stepped upon, perhaps. Especially since Skyfire has joined their company.
So with some reservation, she daintily steps into Jetfire's hand.
"It is not exactly an easy thing, energon production.. But Perceptor is quite the skilled chemist, and he has been working for quite some time on alternative energy sources to produce our needed fuel. No doubt this little party has exhausted his hoard, and it will be quite awhile before he can replace it."
She frowns, "I am not so keen on such extravagance, myself, but then I come from a very frugal reality set. And, well, they need a chance to unwind a bit."
She waves up at Skyfire, then adds cheerily, "It seems you finally have someone in your own size class Skyfire!"

Oracle gives Skyblast a grin and a wave, even if he scampers off before she can actually say anything else. Speedy little jet is speedy.
Jetfire on the other hand, gets a seriously long look once he shows up. Being familiar with Skyblast prepared her for the general configuration, but Jetfire was one interesting looking Transformer. And kinda loud. But she wasn't going to be rude and stare for too long, so shaking her head Oracle turned back to her own group of conversational partners.
She does so just in time to catch Tracks' toast to Mirage, which prompts a small grin from her. That Spy was Trouble. Fun trouble she would allow, but Trouble all the same. Emphasis intended.
"I don't think you have to worry about drinking alone," her grin still hasn't faded. "I don't plan on wandering off quite yet at the least, but it also looks like people are determined to put a dent in the offerings."
Tracks' comment again draws her attention back to Mirage and Rodimus and she laughs. "I wonder if Rodimus is in over his head or not."
Then she stops and looks a bit sheepish. "Which reminds me of something. Thank you for helping out Perceptor, I should have said so before." She points to a particular pale vintage on the table she recognizes from her date with Mirage.
Spinning off to Train Wreck Syndrome now.

Pee-Dee clatters in, charmingly late. There's a bit of blue on her fingers and around her mouth in ways that she doesn't usually pattern herself, but it's flaking off even as she saunters up to the bar.
The cube of acrid black sludge draws an impressed and happy croon from the Junkion, and she scoops it up and cuddles it to her chest as if afraid someone will take it away from her. "Reminds me of my favorite drink from Cybertron. Doesn't smell like it, though, but I wouldn't expect you to make a Kaon Black Kys."
For those remotely familiar with Kaonic drinks or drugs, Kaon Black Kysses are so illegal, it's not even funny.

Oil! Fresh, high class oil! Scrapper's was about to head to Constructibot heaven today, and he hoped never to leave. Scrapper doesn't know much about Perceptor's other skills, but his bar tending is top notch. Hell, even that Energon stuff looked good today.
Once able to get a seat, Scrapper makes sure to say,"Yo, Perceptor! Nice work, buddy!"

Perceptor, however, isn't familiar with a Kaon Black Kys, and so, as he waves a thank you to Scrapper, he calls to Pee-Dee, "Perhaps you can describe the formulation to me later, and I can attempt to produce a similar substitute for you, Pee-Dee!"

To his credit, while Jetfire may not generally be the steadiest rock in the foundation on his feet ordinarily, he takes care to firm up his joints - which consequently makes him stand just that much straighter, and improves his stature - once Botanica steps onto his hand.
"Perhaps not easy for you, but I have not heard anyone mention any stars having been destroyed!" the old jet exclaims. "So obviously more easily than where I come from! Perceptor, eh? I will have to speak with him later. Pointers, tips. Have to see what he's willing to share, that I do."
Imagine being able to bring this technology home with him! Why, if they can tweak time the way Kup had hinted that they'd been hoping to once they figure out how to go back, perhaps Jetfire could help plant the seeds to prevent that civil war in the first place!
"Greetings Skyfire! Deep space explorer, you say? Do a bit of that myself. I'm a Seeker. Look for new worlds and star systems far beyond anyplace my people normally travel, aye." To destroy them, usually. He'll happily leave that part out right now, though. Those days are long gone.
Hopefully.
ooc: sounds good to me, if Skyfire's cool with it?

Skid-Z just might..... if he were remotely interested in how his room looked. Plus that's a shared thing to discuss.
"I've been doing fine! Though that's sort of my standard trademark" The racer grins brightly, and politely asks the expected response, "You?" slight tilt of the head "Been busy lately?" A hidden test whether the scout would have to mold his excited outburst into just a hyped up greeting, or perhaps carry on with what's been on his mind the past days; getting rid of his dark, dark, black exterior.

Hmm, no ping back from Tracks on the 'hello'. Man is hard to get! Skyblast will have to work harder.
He gets a grin and waves for Oracle, which is nice enough.
Mirage's hunting hasn't gotten Mirage slapped yet, as far as Skyblast can tell, but it doesn't look like anything overly interesting has happened yet, which brings him back to...
..Skid-Z. Black repaint Skid-Z, who is looking awfully dark and mysterious!
"Glad to hear it!" Skyblast replies, "Oh, you know, rock watching, other duty shifts, translating..." Yes, translating is the most exciting thing Skyblast has done recently and therefore has to be mentioned.

"I don't really know what-all's in it, Doc," Pee-Dee replies to Perceptor. "And the stuff I do know, you probably shouldn't be replicating! So! How about them Cardinals?"
(If Pee-Dee were to explain how she had encountered Kaon Kysses, there would be hand-puppets.
"Here, try this, you'll like it."
"Okay! What is it?"
"A Kaon Black Kys."
"Why's it called a Kys?"
"Because it has syk in it."
"Ohhhhh. Isn't that illegal?"
"Yep."
"Okay then!"
Pee-Dee can be a very bad cop sometimes.)

Oh dear...Tracks mentally slaps his palm to his face as he realizes just what has been nagging and reminding him that he's forgotten something quite important...
"Hello there, Skyblast!" Tracks turns to face the flier. "I'm terribly sorry for the lack of response. I shall have to make it up to you some time as I have no excuse for the slip." He offers Skyblast an apologetic but warm smile.

"Translation? Sounds interesting, of what, may I ask?" Skid-Z is genuinely interested, baiting like a good little fish.
"Are you quite proficient in the precision of writing? I'm actually.... eh!" As Tracks calls for Skyblast, the black Autobot pauses, slightly disrupted in his conversation, but he does not harbor feelings of anger and opts to wait patiently for a chance to continue instead. -------- Sure.

Did someone say...booze?
With a rather annoying whirring sound the blue RC truck makes it's way into the room, sensors wearily watching those around him. Cause hey, one midget, several big drunk blockheads...Damn booze better be worth it!
Finally the blue guy transforms and stares up at the table in sheer awe, his gnarled mouth falling open and his optics brightening. So much Energon, just sitting there, glowing oh so seductively...Yeah, cackling time. "Oh yeah baby, here I come! Get ready for the Wheel-Man! Time to get a-wasted!"
