Elita-1 opens her mouth, fully intending to tell Sentinel that he wasn't invited because he doesn't seem to understand the concept of fun anymore, and also because he turned her down. Yes, she's just that petty and yes, she holds grudges. However, Optimus spins her to one side and starts to urge her down the hall before she gets past, "Sentinel, you-"
The movement is slightly dizzying, but once she recovers she shrugs and drops down into vehicle mode. Optimus wanted to go for a drive, they'll go for a drive.
"Betcha can't keep up!" she giggles as she zooms down the hall.
OOC: Posing Optimus with permission. Elita is out of thread. Thanks again everyone for all the fun rp!

Mirage murmurs against Skyblast's helm, "You have no idea," when the jet comment on Sentinel's exclusion.
"Oh, let him go Jetfire," Mirage says with a shrug, "Let him bask in his confirmation of how much we all loathe him. It will certainly justify all his insecurities and make him even more the taskmaster than he already is." There's sarcasm and even teasing there, for those who know how to recognize it. He does not, however, expect anyone- least of all Sentinel- to notice.
"Looks like a good time to exit, stage left," he continues as he tries to wrap an arm around Skyblast. Mirage gives Override a smile and touches his fingers to the top of his helm, almost as if tipping a hat. "I of course await your pleasure, dear lady. You have my frequency." Never let it be said that Mirage doesn't pay his debts.
OOC: Mirage is attempting to leave thread. Skyblast may or may not tag along as he chooses.

Optimus Prime makes a disgusted face and rushes after Sentinel. It's not clear who he's disgusted with, but it is probably multiple people, and may include himself.
//Sentinel, wait!// he transmits. //Elita's had a bit too much energon. We're just going for a drive so she can burn off some excess fuel. I wouldn't . . . I mean . . . she's overcharged. Listen, Sentinel, Elita threw the party. Don't be too hard on everyone alright? It's hard to cut loose when your CO is around.// Especially if your CO is Sentinel Prime. //It's weird for us, but think how it must be for Elita. One minute we're all carefree cadets together, and the next the two of us are like completely different 'bots. That's why she didn't invite you, I'm sure of it. I won't ask you to stay if you don't want, but . . . don't take it too hard, alright?//
Optimus really does not want to have to read Vogon poetry.

OOC: Ker-stopped!- - - Jetfire jet-blocks Sentinel Prime's exit path. He scowls a bit, but his scowl softens a calculated fraction at Jetfire's peace offering. Sentinel Prime really, really doesn't deserve to so much as know Jetfire, who is more like what an Autobot really should be, despite his alternate mode and Starscream's coding in his processors, than a lot of classic ground vehicle Autobots are. He laughs weakly and says, "Oh, Jetfire. Too many of those will rot your processors, you know! Look, I... I'll play Ninja Gladiator with you or something next time we have a free shift, okay?" He blows at Ninja Gladiator, but letting Jetfire be smug about his video game mastery is good for morale or something. "But the others are right - you can't relax with me around. I'll catch you later," he adds. Yes, Override and Optimus are indeed correct that he shouldn't be here and why. Skyblast is almost as annoying as Mirage. Sentinel Prime grins unpleasantly over at Mirage and Skyblast and comments, "Y'know, you two really deserve each other. You both have nothing better to do with yourselves than prattle on about how unpopular and loathed other people are. Reminds me of Tracks back home." //Of course you wouldn't,// Sentinel Prime replies back to Optimus soberly. That's why he shoved Optimus and Elita-1 at each other. Optimus is the Boy Scout. He won't take advantage. //But all right. For you, Optimus. I won't take it too hard.// Elita-1 asked him to be more friendly to Optimus, after all, only it wasn't so much an 'asking' as it was a 'restructuring his whole mental architecture'. Sentinel Prime could not take this hard if he wanted to, and he very much does. He can only act out taking it hard, and he can stop acting any time he wants. "And fine. Ropes course is back on. No Vogon poetry," Sentinel Prime finishes, turning away again.

Jetfire brightens at the offer to play video games. "Okey-for-dokey, Sentinel Prime, sir! If you are thinking it is being for the best."
Giving Sentinel a hand-motion that's half salute, half farewell wave, he turns back to the party - or what's left of it. He has to admit the others do have a point. He does tend to be more... at attention around Sentinel Prime. Sentinel drilled that behavior into him, after all!

Skyblast raises his nose in the air and sniffs, thinking Sentinel beneath answering, but something does dawn on him. Optimus Prime and Elita-1 are driving off together. Sentinel's leaving in a huff. Mirage is leaving. Override and Jetfire will just be left behind if Skyblast goes, too, and that would be... the sort of shallow, self-centred behaviour that Sentinel just called Skyblast on, wouldn't it?
He can't prove Sentinel right. Skyblast would just die. He extricates himself from Mirage in a graceful, fluid motion, and he apologies, "I think I'll stay with Override and Jetfire, Mirage. Show them some moves, maybe. Have a good cycle, sweetheart."
Jetfire's even younger than Skyblast is! If Jetfire's formative memories of parties are all of him being ditched, Jetfire might grow up to be a bitter Decepticon like Needlenose or, worse, an emo. Skyblast's doing what he can to prevent the Event Horizon from being overrun with My Chemical Romance!

Override raises a brow-ridge and then points at Mirage. "You know what? You're... an exhaust pipe. I don't think I want my prize." She shrugs and starts to turn away, but then sees that Skyblast intends to stick around. Well, in that case, she probably shouldn't leave, either.
She grins at Skyblast. Well, racing's done, so maybe, "Time for a dance?"

Mirage shrugs and says over his shoulder, "As you like." He could be talking to either Skyblast or Override. The spy ambles off down the hall.

Optimus sighs inwardly as Sentinel turns away. Just once he'd like to be able to let his guard down and have a little Optimus-time without having to worry that drama was going to happen. The crisis seems to have been resolved, though. //Thanks, Sentinel,// he transmits privately.
He turns to watch the party breaking up, taking stock of the situation. Sentinel has been prevented from acting like Sentinel, Mirage is still acting like Mirage, and Override, Skyblast, and Jetfire are going to stick around, it looks like.
Optimus had better catch up with Elita-1 before she drives too far overcharged. "I'm going to go find Elita and make sure she doesn't drive into a wall. Good cycle, Autobots," he says, waving and trotting off down the hall.
OOC: Out of thread, but will catch any parting remarks.

Responsibility is a glitch, isn't it? Sentinel Prime doesn't look back as he walks away. There's a part of him that still wants to feel hurt, though there's not much he can do about it. So he's apparently not allowed to party with anyone on his team, ever, and even if he was, they don't want him there. That's such a fun thing to learn. At least he has people he can go sulk to about his other people. That's something. - - - OOC: Out of thread for real.

Ah, their poor little party, reduced to three! That could have gone better couldn't it have? Well, he'll still try and make the best of it!
Jetfire smiles at Skyblast and Override. "I am learning some of the dancing from Firebolt!" Making sure he has some space, he proceeds to start showing off some breakdancing moves.
OOC: Should we wrap things up?

Skyblast takes drastic action to prevent the spread of emo and Override rewards him with dance-y times? Life is not fair, and it is unfair in Skyblast's favour! It is good to be Skyblast.
Jetfire is doing breakdancing? Excellent. That doesn't require couples or the even more awkward triples.
OOC: Fine with fade!
