[Video][Transmitting from the bar at Haven's Hub]
[Someone's been digging through the bar's storeroom looking for decorations for the dance when he comes across a little reminder. Well, not so little. He'd found it in the Junk Pile two months ago and had no idea what to do with it all. And once unpacked, it was more than he could haul back to his room much less have space for. So it'd been sitting, covered by on old tarp, forgotten in the bar's storeroom until now.]
[Wing waves into the video feed, looking, frankly, a little bit perplexed and perturbed.]
A lot of us received anonymous gifts quite a little while back. Mine was...quite large. And unfortunately, try as I might, I can't discern...what it even is.
[Wing holds up one of pieces of equipment which looks decidedly like an energy weapon to him, something he seems none too pleased about. He steps back to gesture behind him, to where a bunch of similar equipment is strewn about one corner of the room.]
Anyone want to help me sort out what all this stuff is? I'm at a loss.
[And one might notice, if one paid particular attention or just had a habit of staring at Wing's frame in general, that something has definitely changed since his last broadcast in December. His lines seem sleeker and the proportions in his chassis do seem different.]
On an entirely different note, I'm also happy to announce--albeit a little belated--that those to which I offered flights or tours of Haven, I can now accommodate you.
[Judging by the way this brings a smile back to his face, he seems inordinately pleased by this. Someone finished his cockpit modification and can carry passengers!]

[He just likes sharing beautiful things. And flying. And making others happy. It works out rather nicely!]
I am yes, in the backroom at the bar. You certainly may.
[He doesn't even really stop to think why, he's just that kind of naturally congenial person. Speaking in person is always preferred.]
((yup! This is the perfect opportunity for Wing to bring it up actually!))
( video to action )
I will be there briefly.
[ The feed is shut off, and within five minutes, Wing would be able to hear the metallic footsteps of her armor connecting with the floor.
Stepping into the doorway, she's easily able to spot him and then walks over. Saber stops at about ten feet away from him, not wanting to interrupt him and his.. gifts. The knight waits patiently. Although she approached him, she won't bother him until he acknowledges her. ]
( video to action )
[Wing goes about his business in the storeroom, putting away all but one set of the strange equipment. He's listening for her though--and any other patrons that might enter the bar proper--so at the sound of footsteps his white and red bulk appears in the back room's doorway as he peeks out. Wing gestures with a free hand for her to join him.]
[He sets down the last piece of equipment with a shake of his helm.] I suppose it wouldn't be as perplexing if it weren't for the fact that I do not use firearms.
( action )
You seem very excited about being able to carry passengers. I'm happy for you.
( action )
[He turns back to Saber, adjusting his Great Sword so he can sit and perching his hip on the edge of a crate. He's a least a little closer to her eye level now.]
I am, thank you. I...have to admit some envy previously for those of my kind that can. There were several times since coming here that I felt that lack. I can better aid people now; it feels good.
Are you settling into your living quarters well? Is there anything you need? Food or supplies?
no subject
[ She is unable to help but smile a bit sheepishly. ]
You may have noticed, as you see the storage rooms yourself.
[ Although Saber does look up at those taller than her, she always does through her bangs and without raising her head. That became habit when carrying herself as king. She didn't want to acknowledge that others were larger than her. Which is an easy feat, considering she's 5'0".]
no subject
[He gently offers a smile.]
I do know the feeling. I don't even need the organic food stuffs I come across so it all just piles up here. We're going to run out of space.
/gently steers this in the right direction!
[ Setting a hand on her hip, the knight closes her eyes as she thinks about it. ]
Although it seems unlikely, there's always the chance that suddenly useful materials stop dropping from the sky, too. [ Actually, no, that sounds about right. Things dropping from the sky is kind of silly in the first place. ]
I was trying orz my tags last night were pretty bad
[It might not be of direct concern to him not being organic, but he's interested in improving the quality of life for all individuals, not just Cybertronian.]
That's...happened actually. We had a Home Depot land on us a few months back. That's where a lot of this building material comes from. But we're going to need more soon.
whaaat? you're doing fine! or were. whichever.
[ Saber will volunteer for anything, but only if she is actually able to do it. ]
What about with organization?
I think it's safe to assume you have the eatery too, since no one spoke up.
[ And well, in a way he does have a bit of experience, having watched Crystal City being built from the ground up. ]
It'll be much larger than this, and secure, so people can drop off donations. And I hope we can encourage a barter system, where people can trade food items they don't want for others they do. I hear organic food has a great deal of variety to it.
So far organization-wise it's just me, but I've already got a great many responsibilities, I'd never have time to keep inventory or oversee rationing or bartering. I've actually been hoping to find someone willing to do it...
wow I feel like crap since I didn't see this somehow - likely since the dance and turned off notifs.
[ Saber raises her hand to her chest in a saluting and confident manner. ]
I have experience in organization and overseeing such things. I would also be comfortable with asking others for help as this entire thing could become a large task. And of course, overseeing them.
..That is, [ Saber starts, her tone much more modest than when she was listing her capabilities. ] if you'd have me.
/pat, pat
[ Wing brightens considerably. He's not sure why he hadn't thought of this earlier! ]
I'd love to have you, yes! That would be perfect, actually. The place needs someone to manage it with more knowledge and experience than I; I only know so much about organic foodstuffs. And I imagine it could become a very large project yes. It doesn't need to be the sole place food is stored, but it might end up being the largest since it'll be close to the eatery.
[ Oh, right, he probably hasn't mentioned that part yet. ]
Ah, we're working on that too...a place humans and others like them can prepare and eat food. Not a restaurant, more like a self-serve kitchen. We hope, anyway.
no subject
I wouldn't mind also watching over this self-serve kitchen. I am not much of a cook, but it's obvious in its relationship to this storehouse. Since I will be looking for volunteers, I'll see if anyone who knows more about the culinary arts would be willing to look over the kitchen.
[ She pauses to think again. She has one other official duty, but that is it. It'd be nice to have something more to take up some of her time.. ]
I'd be honored. Please place me as, ah.. what is it? Manager of this storehouse and kitchen.
no subject
If you would, please? I can even let you have a look at the plans, and give some feedback from the perspective of someone who'd actually be using the place.
[ You know, things like putting the dishwasher near where the dishes are kept is not necessarily a thing a Cybertronian would consider. ]
Call it done then! I've taken to calling the storehouse 'the Pantry' because well, it's mostly pantry goods as humans call them, but the eatery has no official name yet.
