Nexusville Homecoming Dance

TFA Slipstream

As dusk falls over Nexusville, it is apparent something is going on in Park Slope. The cool-toned, slope-sided tower that lends the small neighborhood one half of its name stands out from the dark, vacant buildings, with the glass-enclosed observation deck brightly lit, like a lighthouse signaling a port. Light beams out from the

DJ Emo is on shift in the Observation Deck

[Starscream is at the DJ booth, positioned centrally in the observation deck, and enjoying the track by Linkin Park, as he contemplates the songs he wants to play during this set.]

Emo Prime is attracted to the emo music!

G1 - Rodimus Prime

*Rodimus makes his way up to the Observation Deck, wanting someplace a little quieter to watch people have fun. He smiles when he sees who is DJing.*

//Hello, Starscream.//

[karanseraph]

UT Starscream

[Starscream looks up from the various media players and bows, slightly.]

Rodimus. A pleasure to see you.

Do you have a request? [Starscream scowls.] The Landlady says I have to accept requests and dedications.

[raisedbymoogles]

G1 - Rodimus Prime

//Actually, I like what's playing now.// *Smiling, Rodimus takes a seat near the both, where he can talk but not get in the way.*

[Starscream's voice cuts through to the observation deck's dance floor, as the previous song fades out.]

I have a dedication. This song goes out to Rodimus Prime.

Lockdown makes his way to the Observation Deck, screwdriver in hand, electrical tape spool on hook and a processor clogged with indecision. He wants to put in a song request to the near-tolerable Starscream, one that the jet will hopefully play at the hunter's signal and specifically when the time is right. It's to be a ballad, something he can sway to slowly with a certain other seeker in his arms, perhaps when the evening starts coming to a close and she isn't burdened with the duties of hosting. But can't for the life of him decide which song he wants played. He wants it to be meaningful but he doesn't want to overstep the bounds of their...whatever it is they have

[Starscream has some idea who this apparently neutral bot is. He's seen him around Medbay and the apartment building. He's pretty sure this is the owner of a particular poncho that sometimes hangs inside Slipstream's door. But, what he thinks when he sees the gaffer's equipment, is that, like Megatron, Slipstream has some ability to recruit handy mechs to do chores for her, while he, despite having made it to Second-in-Command of the Decepticon faction twice, is the recruitee, more often than not.]

What? [He sneers.]

[hunter_for_hire]

The bounty hunter turned AV guy moves from room to room with a seemingly permanent scowl. Piled on his shoulder is a heap of cables and speaker wire. He hadn't realized when he volunteered for the job that each fraggin' room would have separate music feeds, but he shouldn't have expected anything less from Slipstream. Damned scheming femme's gotta make everything as big and grand as possible, whether business or recreation. He's doesn't think it's a bad thing to have high standards for one's work, he just wishes he had more time to engineer the audio set-up for her standards. The work is currently cutting into his preening time. When he finally get's a chance to tear up the dance floor, he'll be fragged five ways to the pit if he doesn't do it with a sparkling wax job

Lobby and nearby rooms

[karanseraph]

TFA Slipstream

Slipstream catches a glimpse of Lockdown, as he's moving through the lobby. She's too occupied with other guests to offer anything like help or thanks, of course. It had been even more work than she anticipated, getting the building set-up for the party, and she had still been regenerating, after her accident. It is downright noble and Autobot-like of her Blue Light Special to take on a lot of that work. As well he should, she tells herself. Capable as she is, she shouldn't be burdened with such tasks!

Yet, something about how helpful he is nags at her. It's like the mech is trying to demonstrate worthiness - not that she acknowledges they are in courtship of any kind - and it's working.

She winces, slightly, as she realizes she has been watching those swaying coattails, instead of her nearest guest.

Ramjet arrives at the party. He glances around, noticing Lockdown running around. He sort of recognizes the DJ. Hadn't he spoken to that mech before...? The music's good anyway, so he heads in that direction.

Slipstream notices her brother arrive, and waves, as she is directing another guest to the refreshments.

//Ramjet. Have fun. I may catch-up, soon. Haven't even gotten to dance, or check-out the holograms yet!//

[coriopsis]

//Make sure you spend the whole time running around. Shouldn't have fun at your own party. Who is the dj? I never ran into him, but we were introduced.//

[karanseraph]

//Oh, I plan on having fun.//

Wasp might say planning too much was not the way to have fun.

//Starscream is a DJ, but Jazz is also supposed to volunteer for a shift. I- I don't really know why Lockdown recommended the Guardsmech...except he did seem cool when I met him, you know, for an Autobot Cyber-ninja in the Elite Guard!//
