Nexus. Mall. Courting Begins
tShowtime: *found a mistletoe hat in the Nexus Mall. Is debating wearing it around Mirage, since he might not get the significance of it*
Mirage: *wobbly. Just ate way too many of those little round pellets covered in choccy* 0.0
tKriti: *watching the derp her sister's trying to court and sniggering softly*
tDesinex: *trying to feed tHound choccy-covered energon pellets too*
tHound: ...Why do these have holes in the middle?
tDesinex: I have no idea. *pokes one at tHound's mouth*
tHound: *noms happily*
Mirage: Wow... overcharged.
tShowtime: *makes up her mind, will offer the mistletoe hat to Rhinox*
Rhinox: *hat on Vi!*
Vi: What the (%&$(%&$?!
tShowtime: *snickerfit, hand over mouth as her shoulders shake*
tKriti: *gonna watch Mirage and see what he'll do*
Mirage: *is going to sit down because he feels jittery* *slight grin*
tShowtime: *will scoot over to Mirage, since Vi looks like she's about to go on the warpath* X3
Mirage: *slight grin for tShowtime, and then puts his arm around her* Those energon goodies were stronger than I expected.
tShowtime: *blink blink* Oh? Which ones?
Mirage: The ones your sister's feeding Hound. *watches Rhinox send Vi past some random Lumen*
tShowtime: Hmm.... *will see if Mirage has any of those energon goodies left*
Vi: *MORE CUSS as she's grabbed and combat-kissed.... or at least, given the random Lumen's best attempt at a combat-kiss, since she really doesn't have a mouth*
Mirage: *laughing at Vi's predicament, the laughter good natured and honest* I don't think he's aiming for the right place. *nope. tDesinex ganked the rest*
tShowtime: *small frown as she notices the lack of goodies* *then she looks to see what's funny* ... Does Vi even have a mouth to aim for?
Mirage: Not sure. I've never looked at her closely. *looks down at the little femme at his side and surprises himself slightly by nuzzling her helmet*
tShowtime: *surprised by the nuzzling, but she'll lean into the touch* I haven't either, really....
Vi: *CUSS! GONE!*
random Lumen: *laughs his head off and returns his attention to his shopping*
Mirage: *distracted from watching Vi. All his attention is now focused on the little femme at his side* *softly, as though just fully realizing it* You're so beautiful.
tShowtime: *blink blink, BLUSH* *ducks her head sheepishly*
Mirage: *gentle finger under her chin. Softly* Hey, I can't see your eyes.
tShowtime: *more blush* *stammering and fumbling over her words so badly that she can't speak coherently*
Mirage: Shhhh. *thumb softly strokes her cheek as the extra charge in his systems wakes flirtation and courting routines that have been dormant since his failed proposal to that pretty little dancer*
tShowtime: *blush, stammer, squeak*
tKriti: *gathering her strength for a rowdy shout* Kiss him already, Showtime!
Mirage: *stern look* Kriti, seal it.
Rhinox: *startled look up from feeding treats to his bitties. Has never heard that tone from that Mirage*
tKriti: *boggling now*
tShowtime: *so surprised* o.o
Mirage: *turns his attention back to tShowtime and touches her cheek again* Are you alright?
tShowtime: *quietly* Y-Yeah.... *trying to figure out why the way Mirage is acting right now has her spark beating rapidly, and why she can feel her faceplates heating*
Mirage: *smiles a smile that is dashing and full of fun, and then leans down and kisses her lightly on the forehead*
tShowtime: *blink blink blink* .... *decides her larger alternate's earlier advice of 'Just kiss him and see where things go from there' is probably the best course of action. Will move to kiss Mirage on the lips*
tKriti: *surprised sound* *didn't think tShowtime would do that!*
Mirage: *lightly returns the kiss, and then gathers tShowtime close and once more nuzzles her helm*
Rhinox: ... *will not damage Mirage. Will not damage Mirage*
Dinobaby: *another shrimp NOW*
tShowtime: *snuggles close to Mirage, feeling safe and utterly content*
Mirage: *optics shining softly as he looks down at her with that smile of his. Only now there's something else in it. Something teasing and playful* You never said anything.
tShowtime: *sheepish expression is a go* *quietly* I wasn't sure how you'd react....
Mirage: *nuzzle* Hmm. Me either. *cuddle*
tShowtime: *nuzzle, snuggle, very soft clicks*
Spazz: *pops out of the noms store, looks to see what's got her husband scowling, and then drags him and their little ones off*
Mirage: *glances over at tHound and tDesinex, who are laughing and also being cuddly* Should we go see a movie with your sister and Hound? *wink* Nice dark theatre and a scary story?
tShowtime: *thinks about this for all of a minute before nodding* And with any luck, nobody in the back row?
Mirage: *there's that grin again. Bet you never guessed he had that much rogue in him, eh, Show?*
tShowtime: *nuzzles and clicks softly*
tDesinex: *just a bit overcharged... will cat call at Mirage and tShowtime, before snickering and resting her head on Hound's shoulder*
Mirage: *lifts his head and grins at them* Want to go watch 'Planet Eater'? My treat.
tHound: o.0...
tDesinex: *wonders just what you're up to, Mirage* *headtilt*
Mirage: *grins that charming roguish grin and then lowers his head to nuzzle the helm of the femme in his arms again*
tDesinex: *softly* What's he up to?
tHound: I dunno, Sky. What's 'Planet Eater' and why do we want to watch him?
tDesinex: ... I have no idea....
Mirage: *gently sets tShowtime on his shoulder and stands* Come on. *heads for the movie theatre*
tShowtime: *quiet contentedness as she sits on Mirage's shoulder*
tDesinex: .... *raised brow ridges* Whatever it is.... It must be pretty good....
tHound: Huh. *gets to his feet and offers his hand to his mate* Well, let's go see.
tDesinex: *will move to climb onto her mate's hand*
tHound: *holds her close and gives her his warm grin, then hurries to catch up to his sister in law and Mirage*
Mirage: *buys four tickets to the 3D thriller movie, and then, with tHound's help, routs hsvLumen and Sunhalo from the topmost row of the theatre before stationing himself and tShowtime at the opposite end of that row from tHound and tDesinex. Then settles down to cuddle tShowtime close as they watch the show*
tShowtime: *'eeks' and hides her face against Mirage at the really scary parts*
Mirage: *will protect her and hold her close. Also will hum to her softly and absently and give her the occasional kiss on the helm* *much more interested in her than in the excellently constructed CGI feature*
tShowtime: *has had enough of the movie. Is going to turn her attention to Mirage and focus on him for the rest of the feature* *this happens to involve gentle kisses and a lot of cuddling*
tHound: *boggling as the final battle against the giant planet eating ship comes to pass on the screen. Is utterly flabbergasted and not a little freaked out by the movie*
tDesinex: *intent on the movie, though during the lulls in the battle sequences, she's been kissing Hound*
last battle scene: *happens after an hour and a half of intense action and suspense. Is epic, perfectly choreographed, and has tHound ready to jump out of his plating at the least tap*
Mirage: *looks up as the last credits start to play, then smirks slightly and looks down at the femme in his arms* *quietly and lazily* What did you think?
tShowtime: *softly* The story was interesting.... *even softer* I probably wouldn't have made it through the whole thing in my old shell though.... the sound system would have rattled me pretty badly...
Mirage: *gently rubs her back* *quietly* And the art and music?
tShowtime: I liked those... *leaning into the back rub, a content expression creeping onto her face*
Mirage: *looks very pleased* I'm glad. *nuzzles her helm again*
tShowtime: *nuzzles his cheek and tilts her head back to give him a gentle kiss*
Mirage: *returns that kiss. Then, quietly* That's my latest artwork.
tShowtime: *soft chuckle* And it's already famous... *nuzzle*
Mirage: *soft rumble* I hope to show it to the young Seeker who gave me the idea. He told me of a story that he and his friends made, about monsters and a girl alone in a house, and a wise old woman.
tShowtime: *curious expression is a go*
Mirage: His name is Sundog, though he usually goes by the name Sean Robertson. *rises to his feet, stifling a yawn* Hmmm. What would you like to do now? *feeling cuddly and sleepy*
tShowtime: *considering look* Let's go home.... *wants to cuddle and get some rest as well*
Mirage: *softly* Your home, or mine?
tShowtime: Yours.... It'll be quieter, and Vi won't be waiting to get revenge...
Mirage: *smiles and walks her out of the theatre, past where tHound is sitting by the door with his head on his knees as he hyperventilates and his mate patpats him. Then gives tShowtime a last little kiss before PINpointing the two of them away*
