Takes place about a week after launch into space. Open to anyone!
"Bored," Firebolt declares as she walks through the ship. She hasn't found much to do, and is a bit nervous to actually talk to people outright thus far, seeing as a slip up on the ship means there really isn't anywhere to hide and wait it out. She instead makes her way to a lounge and stares up at the large video screen that sits against the wall. Her ponytails fan out as she stares at it.
"It's like a message from GAWD," she declares, as she runs up and puts her hands on the side of it. "And that message is, Firebolt, you need to play video games. Like, right now." She works her 'magic' on trying to figure out the screen and somehow manages to work the screen into playing one of the many, many games she has on her own system that she 'borrowed' from Earth. She pulls out some various sensor pads that are stashed in her subspace and stares at them, brushing them off. She fans them out and then sets them on the ground in a four directional arrow setup. The sensors stick to the floor magnetically so they won't slide around. They're good for being stepped on.
Firebolt sits for a good 30 minutes trying to wire them into reacting with the game, and then beams as she manages to get them to cooperate. Brilliant lights flare up on the screen as the game starts. It takes a bit more to make sure that they actually are synchronized, but once she's satisfied, she stands up and brushes her hands together.
"Oh!" She declares as she pulls out a bit of paper and pen and then scribbles a note. She then runs out and sticks it up on the door with a smaller magnet and then runs back in and begins to play, or rather, dance, as the game set up was Dance Dance Revolution.
Video Games - Anyone Welcome! the note scribbled on the door says.

So...yeah, it's been a couple of days on this ship, meeting people, and getting used to the weird situation for Jetstorm.
It's still weird to him. However, it's also interesting. All kinds of new 'bots to meet, and a big adventure to be on. He does miss Jazz and Sentinel Prime, but things seem a little better without them. (Well, without Sentinel at least.)
For now, he's jonesing down a hall with Jetfire, looking for something to keep the two of them occupied, when a note on a door grabs the blue bot's attention. He stops, and elbows Jetfire. "Brother! Look!"

For Jetfire, the days since Jetstorm appeared have been happy happy happy, and he has been sticking close to his brother ever since. Well, closer than usually anyway, since they were fairly inseparable even before getting dragged to an alternate universe. Oh well, the novelty of having his twin back should wear off before Jetstorm decides he is being completely insufferable.
In the meantime, there is a very interesting note to look at. Leaning close, a wide grin quickly stretches across the orange twin's face. "Video games! Let us be checking it out!"
Grabbing hold of Jetstorm's arm, Jetfire unceremoniously drags him into the lounge, calling out a a friendly, "Hello!"

Firebolt is in mid-dance so she only glances back to stare at the newcomers, and finishes the song before letting it sit at the menu for some time.
"Heya, ooh I haven't met you yet," she salutes, "M'Firebolt!" She pauses for a second, as if thinking she has other titles, but then shrugs and points at the TV, "And I'm playin video games. D'ya wanna join me?"

Jetstorm raises a hand in greeting. "I am Jetstorm, and am being new to this...ah... ship and universe. Just getting here a couple of days ago." He grins, rather proudly, hooking a thumb at the orange bot next to him. "And this is my brother Jetfire. He says he's been here a while. And yes, we were seeing the notice about the games, and our interests are being piqued!"
Mostly 'cause Sentinel wouldn't let them stay at the factory to play games with Bumblebee, so they never got to try.

"Yes!" Jetfire adds, clasping his hands excitedly. "Please to letting us join you in the playing of this video game!"
Staring at the screen and sensor setup curiously he asks, "So... what is this game being?"
Whatever it is, it looks flashy and noisy, and that is a-okay in Jetfire's book! They had not had much real fun since training. Good old dodging explosions and beating up simulations... Sentinel Prime was not much for flashy, noisy fun on his ship.

"This game, this is Dance Dance Revolution!" Firebolt waves her hand at the screen, and stomps on the arrows on the ground which cycles through the songs. She stops on Breakdown! and then goes through the song as a demonstration, which completes her current 3 song set. Of course she's quite good at it, and absolutely enjoys it. She turns, smiling and her ponytails are raised up high to show her happiness.
"You can start out really easy though! I just do it on Heavy because that's well, that's the best and gives the most challenge," she explains while setting the game to Beginner and stepping off the pad. "Would you two like to play against each other? Or do you need me to teach you?"

Jetstorm is rather entranced by said game, stepping closer once Firebolt finishes, and points at the sensors. "So... If I am getting it correctly, when the arrows come up, you are to be stepping on the matching one here?"
Then he smirks, turning attention to Firebolt directly. "I believe I am able to be giving the try, but you may need to teach my brother first..." he says with a bit of a cocky grin.

Giving his brother a small glare, he shifts partly in front of his twin, and gives Firebolt his own version of that cocky grin. "Do not be paying him any mind, Brother is obviously being processor-addled from trip to this universe! It is him that is needing the teaching."
He poses with his chest puffed out slightly and his hands on his hips. "I am ready to be making attempt at this dancing revolution game!"

How amusing and adorable! Firebolt beams, glad to have met these two. She steps away, bowing in her own cheesy way to offer the two the dance 'pads.'
"The best way to learn is to do," she says.
ooc: feel free to skip over the actual dance part and just declare what the outcome was

Jetstorm elbows his brother, then hops on one set of pads, and randomly selects a song, starting it up when Jetfire takes onto the other side, and off they go...

Elbowing Jetstorm back, Jetfire moves into place on the other set of pads, letting his twin get things started. Smirking, he adds, "Prepare to have sore skidplate, Brother, for I am going to kick it!"
Then it is time to dance.

"Don't shove each other off!" She says in a bit of warning, waving her hands a bit. "That just makes it less fun and is liable to make you wanna fight each other!" She stands behind the two, watching the gaming.
"I wonder if I could get help and rig up Guitar Hero," she muses.

And so, the dance goes!
And then, the dance ends!
And...they have the exact same score.
Jetstorm looks confused, glancing over at Jetfire. "How did you be managing that? Am I being cheated?" he asks, scrunch-scowling. His visor might appear to narrow a bit, too.

Jetfire stares accusingly at the video screen. Receiving the same score as his brother? Nonsense! Pay no attention to the fact that they play-danced in a nearly identical manner, he is obviously the better player. Because he is totally better than Jetstorm at everything. Obviously.
He looks positively affronted at his brother's accusation, reaching out to lightly shove him. "I think it is you who are cheating me. You must have been watching and copying my amazing dancing!"
Yes, cheating must be involved. Their identical scores could not possibly be the result of them having very similar thought patterns and physical abilities.
