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.]

[Encrypted to Solus Prime]

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.]

All right. I'll be there.

((occ: action, handwave, applesauce? :3))

Excellent~

((OOC: Yes :3 We can action, if you want!))

[The next day, on time, Thundercracker makes his way out to the spot, flying high overhead until he's near the area, then dropping altitude and transforming last minute to land lightly on his feet. He's not even showing off – it's just habit. He looks around for the grounder, naturally wary but mostly just . . . curious.]

[Barricade shows up shortly after Thundercracker does, shifting out of car mode as he drives up and skidding on his feet the last little way. He smiles up at the airframe.]

Thundercracker, I presume?

[The Seeker nods.] Barricade.

So . . . how do we do this?

["Fish out of water", anyone?]

A pleasure.

Well. First off. You got a date in mind y'wanna dance with?

[Because partner - that he teaches - and solo are two different animals.]

Ah . . . well, Melan is going to be meeting me there. I don't know if we'll dance, though. He's not human, but he's human-sized.

[Is it possible for people of two such vastly different sizes to do something such as dance together? Thundercracker's not so sure, now that Barricade asks.]

I've danced with humans before, myself. Not my body, a'course, but my holoform. Principle is similar, if you have one about that size.

[And for mechs with sensors in their holoform, it's the next best thing and no one accidentally gets stepped on.]

Hollow form? I'm afraid I don't follow.

[ooc: LOL the idea of holo-forms is a much newer idea than G1. I /love/ it and it makes sense...but TC doesn't have one, no one in G1 does. Closest thing was in the old Marvel comics, Wheeljack invented and installed in himself and a few others...basically blow-up dolls that came out of the driver's seat so it wasn't OBVIOUS that the cars were driving themselves. There was /some/ robotic animation in them, like a spring-loaded arm that could snap out to offer a credit card or money as needed. Funnily enough, a gas attendant or toll booth operator would give them odd looks, think the behavior was off...but never actually realize it was a DOLL. Oh, 80's, I miss you. XD;;;]

They're holograms that look like humans. Help disguise the fact that we don't actually have drivers, when we're on Earth. They also fit into human-sized buildings a touch better than we do. Though, depending on if they're hard light or not, it can be a touch... unreliable, as far as shaking hands and whatnot. I'm guessing you don't have one, then?

[Barricade is more curious than anything, really.]

Ah . . . no. Sounds handy, though. Who installed yours? And how does that work? How are you able to operate through a holo-image and not just project it? Do you have a sensor net you can deploy with it?

[He's catching himself wondering if he could get one, if only for the sake of interest.]

It can be. I was formatted with mine, though someone upgraded it later to be semi-solid. Just have to focus on activating it and what you want to project through it.

[Which he demonstrates - and then throws his voice into it, filtered to be devoid of the usual metallic undercurrent.]

I never mapped a sensornet to mine, personally. I know other mechs that have, though. And operating through it is kinda like... throwing your mind into a construct. Moving a wireframe. Helps if you can focus yourself on more than one thing at a time.

[He waves one hand, while his holoform waves the opposite one.]

[Thundercracker manages to suppress a mild flinch of surprise when Barricade's voice suddenly comes from way down in the little holographic fleshling.]

I can see where that'd be useful. Do you know of anyone here who could build and install a mod like that?

[Barricade grins, flicking the hologram off before continuing.]

I do, in fact. You're looking at him. I'll have to pick up the supplies but it's an easy upgrade, even with the modifications another mech made to it.
