[Herz lingers at a table near the food, anxious to keep it stocked, to see what people favor, and maybe catch a few of his friends as they pass. He's already taken a slice of the cake for himself.

He's very proud of that cake. It turned out good.]

[royalguarantee]

[While waiting for people to show up, Naveen slinks over to the table and unceremoniously dips a finger in the icing of some cake. He licks the sugary goop off his finger with the same complete lack of grace.

He hadn't been SO much help in the kitchen, he mostly got in the way, but he did bring stuff out to the table without DESTROYING EVERYTHING, so he considers this a success.]

You amaze me, Herz.

[meinxxherz]

[LAKJSDLFJFf NAVEEN. GERMS.

Herz gets up and quickly cuts off that piece of cake and gives it to the man with a bit of a forced smile.

Oh god, he hadn't shared a kitchen with a lot of non-cooks in his time, but he's pretty sure the prince is up there with some of the Pretty Big Failures. Cooking-wise. And now he's defiling the caaaake.]

Uhhh--th--thhh-th-thank you?

[royalguarantee]

[Naveen takes the proffered cake and nabs a nearby fork, and cuts himself off a bite-size piece.]

Seriously, my friend, this is incredible. I have to thank you very much for your help.

[He takes a bite of cake.]

Achidanza, and this cake. This is incredible!

[Okay, April, this is your perfect chance to stop being such a hermit. It really isn't like you, so...knock it off! Right? Right.

This is April's...third? Party on the boat, and she's not about to let it pass without making at least a few new friends. So...while she was still just a little irrationally frightened by this stupid place, Little Miss Eighty's Fashion was going to swallow all of that down and stop being a wall flower. Right. Now.

...Or...maybe after a beer.]

[royalguarantee]

[There is a tall, dark and handsome man standing in the entrance when she arrives at Sergei's in typical 1920's fashion, strumming a ukulele and grinning like a fool.]

Hello, miss! Welcome!

[iwitnessdamsel]

[April does her best to pretend she's made of stone. She gives the man a smile, but doesn't ogle.]

Thank you. I'm April.

[She offers him a hand.]

[royalguarantee]

[He stops playing immediately to shake it with great enthusiasm.]

I am Naveen! It is a pleasure to meet you.

[He flashes her what he is sure is a winning smile. He's not flirting. Really. This is just standard Naveen-greeting-banter. It's so much easier when you're not a frog.]

[This? This is Ironhide sneaking away from Ratchet. Why? In order to find some energon. He is completely unaware of any... partying... going on, thanks to both his usual disdain for these kinds of things, and Ratchet taking his comm away. But he feels well enough to venture out briefly...

... Except everything seems to have suddenly turned green.

He checks his paint, for a second, halfway in the doorway, just in case the boat decided he should be green as well. That wouldn't surprise him.]

What... is this?

[royalguarantee]

[FALDI FALDONZA.

Naveen stares at Ironhide a good couple of seconds before he collects his jaw from the floor and speaks. He sounds happy, but seriously looks surprised. He hasn't quite recognized Ironhide's voice from when they spoke before.]

It is a party!

[He gestures to the multi-tiered banner in the back.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[His optics narrow at the staring, and he starts to move away--he doesn't have time for this. He has to get the energon, and get back, before Ratchet notices, and comes to haul him back.]

Why is there a party here?

[He pauses, then, and tilts his head at Naveen.]

... and why do you sound... familiar?

[royalguarantee]

There are many things to celebrate, that is why there is a party!

[Naveen pauses for a second as well.]

You also sound familiar, but I do not think we have met. Maybe we have spoken?

[axemeaquestion]

[Rochelle really had nothing else to do, so she was eventually walking in, looking around. Then again, besides hanging out with the others she never had much to do lately. This was a nice relief from boredom.]

... wow.

[royalguarantee]

It is fantastic, is it not?

[A lean, dark young man had wandered away from entryway duty again. He was too bored when there weren't people COMING IN ALL THE TIME to stand there.

I had nothing to do with the decorations, unfortunately. That was Zeke.

[axemeaquestion]

[Rochelle unfolded her arms and glanced over. That voice was definately familiar, now.]

Naveen, right?

[royalguarantee]

Yes! It is I!

[Wait for it. Wait for it.]

Are you... Rochelle?

[aswanbyday]

[Odette kept her promised. No sooner than the moon had risen and she had changed, she headed for Sergei's. She had even made sure she was wearing a proper dress so she wouldn't have to stop by her room and change clothes.

When she walked in, she stopped and looked at the banner that was meant to thank her.

It made her smile.]

[royalguarantee]

Princess!

[Naveen heads right for her, strumming his ukulele like a fool after he tucks something into his pocket.]

How are you tonight?

[aswanbyday]

[She turns when she hears Naveen.]

I'm fine.

[Then she shakes her head at him.]

You didn't have to do all of this you know. At least not for me.

[royalguarantee]

I admit that I did have to do it for you, and it started out all for you and, well. There is a lot to celebrate right now.

[He sets his ukulele down, and fishes something out of his pocket.]

But I have a gift for you.
