Jetfire vaults over the couch as well, doing a brief one-handed handstand just to show off - and lucky that the couch didn't just fall over - before planting his feet back on the ground. Hurrying after Sentinel Prime and his brother, he grins at Override, and asks, "You are coming too?"
You know you wanna!
"I am only knowing very basics of sim room," he says to Sentinel with a shrug.

"Come pretend to be a competent princess?" Override asks, shrugging and following Sentinel to the door. "Sure, why not. Don't think I could pretend to be the other kind." Then she hesitates and frowns. "I mostly know how to code it for racing sims, but it shouldn't be too hard to coax something out of it. Maybe feed it one of those games or something?"
OOC: If we're continuing on with this, suggest skipping to the Sim Room on one of you guy's posts.

Sentinel Prime grabs a random bunch of video games off the shelves, at Override's suggestion to feed them to the simulation room. - - - Sentinel Prime has a little bit of experience with the sim room. The sim rooms in his own reality were a bit more primitive and harder to use, but he used them when he was a Cadet and when he had to train the Twins, and there's a bit of carry-over. He mostly simulates boring but practical things, though! So far, he has convinced the sim room to give them all amazing Battle Princess outfits. His is just blue lipstick. The others might have done better, though! They are also on... Medieval Cybertron. It is a lot like normal Cybertron, only darker and with flying buttresses. Princess Sentinel keeps poking at the simulation room computer, saying aloud, "Soooo, we're all princesses from different city-states that are allies, and all the other city-states want to come invade our city-states... with energy vampires, so we have to go punch Dragula." Seems Sentinel Prime fed the simulation a Rob Zombie CD by mistake.

Princess Jetstorm is Princess Jasmine! Because it is blue, and they are both J names. Complete with a wig, 'cause the headband wouldn't look as cool on a bare head.
"Excellent! Let us go forth and punch all the Dragulas!"

Rather appropriately, Princess Jetfire is dressed in a certain Fire Nation Princess's armour, complete with wig and top-knot. For whatever reason, he also has orange lipstick.
Lighting up both his fists, Jetfire grins and poses dramatically. "Yes! Let us be defeating them for all of time!"
At least this Epic Princess Adventure should have a pretty awesome soundtrack?

Override, meanwhile, now has a red cape she didn't have before and a golden, sort of winged headdress with a red gem in the center (rather like She-Ra's, though worked to accommodate her own 'winged helm'). "Less talk, more defeating," she complains, then shouts, "Override, Transform!" and falls into vehicle mode.
"Try to keep up!" she taunts as she peels off in the direction that the sim says Dragula's in (probably right), a challenge that should be easy for the fliers.

Princess Sentinel now feels woefully underdressed, shivering in his blue lipstick, while the other Princesses are rocking epic outfits. Maybe he can score some new threads from some phat loot drops after they slay some enemies.
Speaking of which, he transforms to trundle off after Override. He's much, much slower than everyone else here, and he has the uncanny feeling that he's going to fall off the edge of the screen as it pans after the rest of them. It's disconcerting!
Wait, he needs to shout something witty, right? Princess Sentinel hazards, "Just remember what's at stake!"
He's new at this.

Jetstorm transforms - his hologram clothing rearranges as well - so his engines have poofy pants, and there's a sleeved tube top around the front of his chassis.
And there's a wig on top of his canopy. How it is not flying off is a mystery for the ages.
A bright flash of blue thrust, and he's off after Override!

Transforming as well, Jetfire's outfit undergoes a similar rearrangement and he shoots off after Jetstorm and Override. Azula-jet away! He'll try not to fly into any flying buttresses. It wouldn't do to mess up the fancy architecture.
Noticing Sentinel lagging behind, he calls back, "Are you needing a lift, Sentinel Prime, sir?" Or should he be using 'ma'am' if they're princesses?

Override's not trying to be rude so much as she just doesn't do slow. That, and there's an inherently competitive aspect to video games, so if Sentinel is a slow poke? His problem. It's entirely possible that he does fall off the edge of the screen, but because video games are weird, sometimes when that happens with party members, they then appear up ahead. Does this apply today?
"Stake? Isn't that what you do to energy vampi-" she starts, then screeches into a wild swerve (but not a wild Swerve) in order to avoid the fireballs suddenly crashing into the path in front of her. "Override, transform!" she shouts out, and in a flash, she's a robot, leaping into the air and then landing in a crouch. "What the-?!" she starts, optics wide, as she stares at the giant, fireball spewing robot-plant-thing in the way. It shoots another fireball at her, forcing her to leap and roll out of the way before blasting another towards Jetstorm.

The edge of the screen is coming up fast behind, filling Princess Sentinel with a feeling of dread as he strains his pistons to try to keep up with the speed demons! But to no avail, for blackness sweeps over Princess Sentinel.
Then, suddenly, he's somewhat ahead of everyone. He spews, "What the slag!?" This increases Princess Sentinel's Unlady-Like Behaviour Gauge, enhancing his affinity for Curses, the ability to hex enemies with status aliments. Of course, the twin to this is the Lady-Like Behaviour Gauge and the Blessing ability, which allows the character to exalt team-mates with temporary bonuses. Thereby, both crudity and politeness are rewarded but in different fashions.
Princess Sentinel would explore more of his newfound ability to teleport ahead by falling off the edge of the screen or at least answer Azula-jet, but there is a plant throwing fireballs around! He transforms, shouts, "Jetstorm, behind me!" and pulls out his shield in tower format to protect them both from that fireball headed Jetstorm's way.

As commanded, Jetstorm swoops down, transforming on the way down, and doing a roll-and tumble to get behind Sentinel.
He glances up once he manages to get his big hair out of the way. "Is being big monster! We must be finding weak point to inflict massive damage!"

Jetfire transforms, screeching to a halt in mid-air. Giant fireball-shooting plant, what. Placing his hands on his hips, he glares at the plant-monster and declares, "Maybe you should try picking up someone of your same element!"
On, Jetfire, you mean picking on.
With that said, he gives the plant a taste of its own medicine. Where medicine is, in fact, more fireballs. As he does so he finds that if he manages to shoot each fireball within a short enough period of time after the previous one, it stacks into a combo for bonus damage! Unfortunately, a fire-based monster (even a plant-based, fire-based monster) is likely to be strong against fire attacks, so there's a good possibility bonus damage won't count for much.

Override draws her dual cannon and calls out, "Cyber-Key Power!" The red energy 'key' blasts down from the heavens, arming her weapon. It's really a very appropriate move in a video game simulation, but the usual 'odd feeling' that associates calling on her cyber-key in this reality almost throws off her balance. "Nnnnh," she groans. "I wonder if one of the eggheads can adjust things so I don't have to do that to use my gun?" And then another fireball forces another jump and a roll. She returns fire, putting several burnt marks in the stem and apparently doing about as much damage as Jetfire - yes, the fire-plant is strong against fire.
The creature opens its plant 'mouth' very wide, hissing, and then spews out another wave of fireballs at the group. In fact, the observant might notice that this is a pattern - the mouth always opens very wide for about half a second before it attacks, long enough that if someone were to time it right, they could blast a shot right down the monster's maw!

Kid-bots, they grow up so fast. One moment, Red Alert, Wheeljack, and Perceptor are performing unethical experiments on their little bodies; the next, they're using ill-advised pick up lines on imaginary fireball spewing plants.
Sentinel Prime hunkers behind the shield and glances over at Jetstorm. Okay. They could just hide behind this shield for the rest of the game. That would definitely work. It wouldn't be very exciting, he supposes, and people would probably complain.
So he racks his CPU for something better to do. Naturally, it finding fault in others, as he observes, "Your fireballs don't seem to be doing much damage!"
Stupid Grass/Fire Pokemon, how did this even get into the game? What does this have to do with vampires? Did he jam a copy of Pokemon: Black into the simulator when he was feeding random sources into the sim's computer?
Okay, useless observation over, Sentinel Prime peers through the cracking blue of his shield at the plant and notices something more useful, "Look, it opens its mouth, and then it fires, so if you guys," the three of them with semi-conventional ranged weapons, so everyone who is not him, "fire right when it opens the mouth, maybe that'll work better?"
Sentinel Prime will just stay right here behind a shield while the others try to feed it ouchy wind, fire, and lasers.
