re_alignment | IT'S A DANCE! [Video]

[ Hey look! It's Saber and Vandal. They're sitting together, Vandal has a half-empty bottle of whiskey in hand, which she lifts to the screen. ]

So guys. Saber and I got to talking, and I don't know about you, but we are fucking sick of all this terrible shit happening.

Giant centipedes? Here's to you.

[ She takes a drink. ]

Anyways, we were thinking about putting together a formal dance? Like, a ask-someone-on-a-date dance sort of thing.

Anyways. We'll need a place to have it, we were thinking the Atrium if that's okay.

We'll also need some help.

Saber? The list, please?

[ Saber nods and reads off the list. ]

We'll need catering, two people to help decorate, a musician, a bouncer, and I am looking for two volunteers to help me watch over the event. This isn't expected to be a heavy responsibility, but one will need to keep out an eye for arising issues.

There will also be a requirement of at least one piece of formal wear. For everyone.

That means you Cybertronians. Find a bow-tie or hat or something!

We're aiming for a week from now, so uh. Yep. You heard it folks.

Better start trying to find a date!

[ End transmission. Vandal is in red text and Saber is in blue text. ]

So we're going to need hats?

[Why, why, WHY isn't Rodimus here for this momentous occasion?]

Yes. Hats.

Skids, if anyone can do this... I know it's you. I need large hats. Cybertronian-sized hats.

You don't ask for much, do you?

[Oh Primus does he want this, though. If just for the pictures he'll be able to torment everyone with when he finally goes home.]

What.

What kind of hats.

[Please say 'dapper hats.' Or something with authority. Something that would make even Ultra Magnus cry.]

Fuckin' top hats and shit. Classy hats.

[ She's very drunk. ]

Classy hats?

You are on.

[This? This is, officially, the perfect use of his skills. Somehow. If he ever wanted to get the chance to learn new and unusual talents, this Cybertron is definitely the place for it.]

Now.

What does a top hat look like?

Yesssssss. I knew I could count on you.

[ She pings him a picture of a tophat. She drew it herself. It looks like crap. ]

Kinda like this?

[He stares for a moment.]

You...want us to wear--

OH.

Oh wait.

I've seen this before, just not on heads.

Hold on.

[He sends a picture back that isn't quite a top hat, but is close enough.]

I'm thinking magnets.

You know, to hold them on.

Yep!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh close enough.

Magnets? Sure! That would probably work best honestly.

What do you think you'll wear, Vandal?

[Because you totally want a top-hat too, right?]

Ahhhhhhhhh a dress.

What color?

[There was totally nothing suspicious about the way she said that.]

Hey, are dresses taboo?

Uh. Well. Drift said I should go with a warm color so. Red. Ish.

[ SHRUG. Autobots... go figure. ]

What? No. I'm just not really used to dressing up.

Mmm red would match him...

[And now your hat will match, too.]

So humans don't change their outer wear very often, then?

Yeah haha...

What? Oh we do... I mean usually. I just really, really like my RIG.

I like it, too. You almost look like a mech with it on.

I'm curious to see a dress, though.

Heh, thanks.

I- uh. What, really? It's nothing to write home about, I promise.

Admittedly, it'd be more welcoming with a face, but if it isn't your face and doesn't move that actually might be creepier, so...

Hm.

Never mind.

I'll be watching for you and your dress.

I-

Yeah that is kinda creepy. What the hell, man?

Ah, jeez. Okay. I'll see you there.

[ Saber can't help but join in. ]

Oh, Skids, can you possibly do this for us? It'd be truly appreciated.

[ That's as close to begging that anyone will ever get from Saber. She really wants this event to go well, and she did set the requirements of the one type of accessory.. ]

We can make you the guest of honor!

It's not the strangest request I've ever gotten, I have to say.

But since I'm pretty sure no one around here knows haberdashery, and since Cybertronian-sized hats aren't going to manifest themselves...

Yeah.

I'll give it a shot.

[If he's going to test that 'picking up skills ridiculously fast' talent of his, this is the perfect way to test it.]

Got any material?

Melan has began scouring the junk pile for materials to be used for this exact situation. If you could collaborate with him, that'd be the best. I also plan on heading out sometime soon and seeing what I can find. I will report to you should I find anything.

[ Saber is all gentle smiles today. Although there was some negative feedback, it's going much better than it could have and there's a surprising amount of volunteers to help things along. ]

Melan. Got it. Is that a human, or...something else?

[He needs to make sure before he goes to try and track this person down.]

If you're coordinating all this, you could just delegate someone to do that for you.

Melan is.. well, he seems like a Cybertronian, but I don't think he is one.

[ Saber nods once, thinking about it. ]

If we do have more volunteers, I won't be going out to search myself. This is becoming harder to oversee than I expected.

What's he look like? Height, color, all that?

[He feels for you! This is not an easy task.]

That's because it is a good idea! You'll get plenty of help, you'll see.
