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.]

Just not my thing, I wouldn't do so well there.

Might check in once in a while, but that's it.

Totally get it, believe me.

Though you oughta check in at least once. Might be your only chance to see Cybertronians in formal wear.

[Which should be hilarious.]

...do we even have the material to fit one?

Not cloth, maybe, but there's been plenty of metal around. We have to improvise a touch.

Guess I'll have to show up and see how that turns out.

[Even he has to concede that's a little entertaining.]

Well, I hope you'll approve; seems I'm making quite a few of the designs myself.

[Which is almost as intimidated as putting upgrades on a Megatron.

Almost.]

[Sewing robots, you learn something new everyday.]

Right.

Good luck with that. Wasn't aware sewing was an innate Cybertonian skill.

Me, sewing? Not with these claws. Metalworking is more my thing.

[Hence the metal Victorian-style hats.]

Not surprised.

Then again, it's strange how a civilization of machines came about in the first place.

No more strange than a civilization of organics, really. In my universe, we evolved into one. It just happened in a different way than humans.

Funny how things happen.

It's weird, I used to think all machines were alike. I used to be afraid I'd become like them--cold, emotionless. But now...I'm not sure what to think. This place keeps surprising me.

That's what happens when machines are fully sentient. Even we can't all be emotionless, and not all the time. Much as I hate to admit it, we've got more in common with humans than you might think.

Hope we c'n keep surprising you, though. In a good way.

It's a learning experience. You're not the type of machines I've met back home, that's for sure.

We're something, that's true. Probably doesn't hurt that we're an alien species. Most of the machines you're used to were probably man-made?

More than I'd like to think. I guess the fault is people...which I've considered once or twice.

It's the problem with any sentient species; they usually make tools without regard for how those tools are used, and mostly... it's violently.

That or they use each other as tools.

That too. Which usually takes less effort than building something to do the same thing.

[Sounds like he's familiar with the concept? Oh yeah.]

You know what you're talking about. That's the human race right there: doing something because it takes less effort.

Seen it in action with humans plenty of times. And with my Cybertronians too, for that matter. Though when inciting war is your easy way out...

I keep hearing about that...do you know what started it? The war between your kind?

It's different in every dimension. Sometimes it's about class equality, sometimes it's about energon - our fuel source. Mine... mine was about power and the best way to protect our planet.

But it always turns out the same...

[That's a bit of a depressing fact.]

Sometimes it turns out worse than the same.

[Which is a sadder fact, he thinks.]
