It appeared to Oracle as she alighted on the edge of the roof, that either she was late or everyone else was early. Considering how many people were already here, she was betting on late but since nothing appeared to have actually started, she wasn't that worried about it.
Casting a brief look over the energon, she sighed and reminded herself why she shouldn't, before looking around for someone to talk to. While she recognized most of the people here (the two Xaarons made her do a double take), she hadn't spent that much time with most of them, so perhaps she should use this as an opportunity to get to know at least some of them a bit better.

Exchanging greetings with the others, and briefly boggling over the two Xaarons, Wheelie gives in to distraction and heads toward one of the tables. After a moment, he grabs three of the cups.
And then he starts juggling. "If this is a party, then there should be a show! Can Wheelie keep these up? How fast can he go?"

Arcee is not shirking her duty, no sir! She's much too responsible for that. She'd never desert her duty to go for a ride in the countryside and then wind up being used as bait to capture the Matrix while most of the Autobots stationed on Earth were slaughtered.
Which is why she's not comic Arcee.
"Quite the shin-dig, Roddy."

Any further movement halts as Synapse takes in all the arrivals. So many here and there's even more to come.
He pushes himself to take a few more steps before coming to Skyfire. It'd be rude not to at least greet the guest of honor. "It's a pleasure to see you again," he says with a slight bob. Any other words escape him or just sound ridiculous. But he manages a quick and quiet, "Good luck, sir," before giving another small bow and slipping away.
It is time to find somewhere to get a little more accustomed to this crowd.

Oh dear. More and more people, and not one but two Xaarons. Things are getting crowded, and quickly.
Botanica makes her way over to one side of the roof, where she can look out over the base and the surrounding forest. Once the ceremony -whatever it is- is over and done with, perhaps she can slip out and get some work done. She does have that drone Skyblast and Oracle brought her to tinker with....
OOC: Consider Botanica out of rotation. If someone wants specifically to interact with her, PM me or catch me on AIM.

Post by Rodimus Prime on Feb 8, 2008 23:52:30 GMT -5
Rodimus can't help but grin as so many Autobots arrive right after Bluestreak expressed his wish for people to show up soon. "Apparently, Bluestreak, your wish is my command," he chuckles.
He smiles warmly at the new arrivals, returning greetings as he is greeted, and just generally appears to be in a very light-hearted mood. His cheer falters just a bit with the arrival of two Emirate Xaarons - yeah, that'll take getting used to - but he quickly recovers to give the other Xaaron's escort, Arcee, an especially warm, slightly boyish grin. "Yeah, it is, Arcee," he answers.
And then Wheelie starts juggling.
Rodimus laughs lightly and says, "Very good, Wheelie, but we've got something else planned before we move onto any floor shows. They'll be plenty of time for entertainment later, though."
To Xaaron, the Xaaron without an Arcee escort, he radios, //Erm, do we have a plan?//
Rodimus tends to wing it a lot.
OOC: In order to move things a bit faster, it's suggested that those not actively interacting in the 'main event' (or people who are part of it) spin off into other threads or go into skippable mode until they are doing something. This thread has quite a few people in it, and is a little unwieldy.

A white Harrier descends from the sky, transforming at the last moment to land on his feet. He's kept himself off to the side of the gathering, but he's sure people noticed his approach.
Whatever. He wasn't here for most of them.

Slingshot is skippable unless someone tries to directly interact with him. If they do and aren't part of the main event, we can split off into a side-thread.

Post by Pee-Dee on Feb 9, 2008 23:09:30 GMT -5
Pee-Dee gives Arcee a jaunty wave and looks with interest at the double-Xaarons. Double the pleasure, double the fun?1 But the Bat-Xaaron was going to talk to the Commissioner, so she shouldn't bother him right now.
On the other hand, Anti-Xaaron didn't seem to like her much. Or at least he got more nervous when she was around, and he had enough problems without her adding to them.
So that meant it was time to investigate the booze.

Also, Pee-Dee is going skippable unless directly interacted with, or I get bored and make a side-thread for her.

Bluestreak watches the crowd go by for a few minutes -- Synapse, Skyfire, Pee-Dee, Botanica, both Xaarons, Grimlock, the new white Seeker femme (a bit of a double-take as always, but hey, he got used to Long Haul, he can get used to an Autobot Seeker), Slingshot... who's the blue guy again? Boondocker, he recalls. New guy, hadn't been around long...
"Hey Boondocker!" he calls out, waving. "Over here! How are you?"
OOC: Moving conversation with Boondocker to another thread. Consider Bluestreak out.

Grimlock turns to Skyfire at his question, arms crossed. "Me Grimlock been busy. Went with Rodimus after dropping you off and met Claw Jaw. Then me helped Kup out with some of the training."
He doesn't mention the near-bout with Swerve, or the big dent in Kup's face as a result. "What about you? Me no hear anything after taking to medbay other than deciding to join and agreement with me over wondering about intruders."
Grimlock keeps a wary optic on this duplicate Xaaron. He didn't like the regular one all that much, and a suspicious second one? That can't be good.

Boondocker also answers Skyfire when he gets a chance. "Ah...it were a lil' rough. All this stuff 'bout different universes an' whutnot makes mah head hurt..." he answers, shoulders slumping faintly. "But ah reckon ah'll manage!" He smiles, making a fist and clanking it on his chest with a determined nod, when he hears Bluestreak calling, and heads over after excusing himself.
---------- Boony's out, but feel free to head on over and join the conversation!

A bit of something more potent than his typical fare in hand - it's a night to celebrate and indulge, is it not - and Perceptor moves quietly off to one side of the crowd. While not normally given to large gatherings such as these, it's heartening and encouraging to watch this mosaic of mechs from such varying realities forming such a cohesive new "family", and Perceptor finds that he wishes to simply sit and absorb that for a little while. Time enough later, he muses as he finds somewhere comfortable along the edge to perch, to return to his work later. After all, he would appreciate having something to actually report for his newly-enacted daily reports to Botanica.
ooc: Perc's out of rotation and skippable unless someone directly addresses him. If anyone wishes to fire up a conversation with him, just IM or PM me and I'll be glad to assist.

"Jazz! Glad you could make it! How's the translation project coming?" Skyfire says. He waves at Skyblast, and nods at the two Xaarons.
"Wouldn't be a party without a bit of hospitality now, would it?" he asks the less-shiny Xaaron. "Oracle, glad you could make it!" He smiles at Wheelie, and gives Arcee a nod in greeting.
"Thanks for coming, Synapse," he replies quietly to the shy greeting. There were certainly a lot of Autobots; Skyfire hadn't seen so many gathered in one place since he arrived. He waves at Botanica as she passes by and waves agreeably at Boondocker as he takes off to talk to Bluestreak.
Then Slingshot arrived. Skyfire gave him a long, considering look and smiled. // Glad you came, // he radioed Slingshot privately. // I suppose I'll have to explain later, but this is all your fault, you know. // Skyfire's radio voice is jovial with a hint of gentle teasing; he sounds... happy.
Pee-Dee gets a wave as well; then he turns to Grimlock. "Well, I went to do some target shooting, but wound up exploring a mid-ocean island with Slingshot instead. We found an alien drone of some kind also exploring the island; unfortunately, it blew up when we tried to capture it. Perceptor and I have been puzzling over the pieces ever since. Kup thought it looked like something made by Quintessons."

"Hey Jetfire!" Jazz would be absolutely happy to discuss the language in detail. Which is probably why that contemplative grin crossed his face for a moment while looking up at the big guy. "Translatin' is goin' pretty well. Got a few phenomes and hominyms that're givin' me trouble, but other than that-- Need to take a break every once in a while. Party's really not a place t'discuss work though. Here. Let's gettcha a drink, an' kick it."
Hey. Roomie's here, and found someone to chat with. Synapse is-- oh. There he goes.
Mingling voices, lots of conversations. A bit of the good stuff-- Oh yeah. This is Jazz's scene. And he's off while Jetfire is talking to Grimlock to grab a drink for himself, and perhaps the tall scientific type. Yeah. He's nice that way-- getting folks to relax just a little...
Ok. It's also an excuse to drink. Who doesn't need one of those?

Since no one seems liable to procure him some synth (Woes!), Skyblast settles on investigating the paint. It looks to all be space-rated, and it's mostly shades of red, with a bit of black.
Skyblast thinks he knows why Kup asked him here now. He's totally noticed how gaudy these people are about these symbols and how Skyfire doesn't have one yet.
What, does Kup just expect that because Skyblast can paint the sky that he knows a single thing about normal painting?
...
Okay, so maybe Kup saw what Skyblast did to his and Slingshot's room. Still! Speaking of Slingshot, he calls out, "Slingshot!" Skyblast skitters back over to the drink selection and grabs three cubes. He also greets, "Oracle, hello!"
Skyblast takes off on a path that will put him somewhere between the two jets. Hopefully, they will get the clue and wander over. He has drinks for them!
OOC: If either are interested, we can spin off into another thread. If not, a forlorn Skyblast has booze.
