Right, so. I hear we have a dance comin' up, and everybody needs formal wear for it. I also know that fabrics don't stand up well to all of us, f'r various reasons.

[Such as being too pointy, like him!]

So, figured I could I could assist with formal wear in some capacity. Been working on a few designs for hats, and if you'd prefer walking canes, just have t'tell me what design you'd like f'r the handle. Or, let me surprise you~

[He shifts the camera to show a pair of hats - one made of dull grey iron with leather cording, run through brushed steel grommets, the other made of copper, with accents made of bronze and thin iron 'feathers'.]

If you've got some other accessory you're in the mood for, or a different hat, let me know, and I'll see what I c'n do to help you out. These're just a sample, after all. Though if you're looking f'r a hat, I'll uh. Need your head size, since we ain't all exactly the same sizes here.

[One size does not fit all on robots.]

Offer extends to you, too. If you'd like something that is.
[Since he doesn't exactly extend offers like this to every demigod he knows.]

[Mirage is most definitely not a hat person, but he's interested in your talents, Barricade. A claw goes up to his 'mouth', thinking this over before speaking up.]

You are skilled in metalworking, Polizia?

I take it a bow tie did not suit you either.

I have some skill in it. Cut my teeth on repairs, admittedly, but I've branched out recently.

[Making all the fixtures in his bar on Sacrosanct and a few more practical things for himself gave him an interest. He chuckles at the statement.]

Pretty sure any bow tie would clash with my paintjob, Stallion. If it survived the night. And yours too, I imagine.

I am in need of some...metalwork, you see.

[His head tilts slightly, eyes glinting.]

How foreign are you to the concept of Masquerade?

Only in that I've never attended one myself. 'S a festival where the participants wear masks, right?

[He can see where this is going, tilting his head in return and smiling.]

Any design in particular you had in mind?

Correct.

[He'd smile too if he could--his mouth isn't really designed for more than opening and closing.]

What do you suppose is my colour? Gold? Black?

All that time with only Wikipedia f'r company paid off after all~.

[Barricade lucked out with his facial reconstruction in the mouth department, really. He just had to had to learn how to make all the plating behave.]

Mm. Black would match most of your accents already... but gold - or bronze, in certain tones - would be more striking, I think.

...Why not both~?

[Black and gold went nicely together, actually.]

Both would certainly be doable. And work well together, matter of fact. Any design in particular?

[Because if there isn't, it's going to be (elegantly) beetle-y and there is nothing you can do about it.]

I am not picky, polizia.

I know you have taste. Surprisingly. I would not have guessed it in my own world. But 'more than meets the eye', or whatever Witwicky says.

[It's a stupid saying.]

In that case I'll surprise you~.

The alt mode and paint job I have and you still doubted my taste? Why I think I oughta be insulted.
... also that's an awfully ridiculous saying, but considering the source.

[With Witwicky, he's not exactly shocked.]

Perhaps I am confused. I was not aware law enforcement was 'in' and 'hip.

[Or whatever those teenagers say.]

Maybe not on Earth, but human opinions don't make the scheme have less visual impact.

[And the right amount of irony for him.]

We ain't constrained by their thoughts on what's 'in' or 'pretty'.

I suppose. Although using human language on your paint says something about getting their attention.

You always did have a flair for the dramatic.

What can I say? The scheme was nice and do so enjoy a little bit of irony.

[Or a lot bit.]

Somehow that does not strike me as surprising.

I look forward to seeing your creation, Polizia.

No pranks~

No pranks, Stallion. Scout's honor.

And if you ain't pleased, you're entitled to a full refund~

[You know. Of zero dollars.]
