[Video] [Transmission from Solian Temple] - Fifth Offense

[namesnotprowl]

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.]

[The Seeker nods.] Barricade.

So . . . how do we do this?

["Fish out of water", anyone?]

[namesnotprowl]

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.]

[notyourblueangel]

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.]

[namesnotprowl]

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.]

[notyourblueangel]

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;;;]

[namesnotprowl]

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.]

[notyourblueangel]

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.]

[namesnotprowl]

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.]

[notyourblueangel]

[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?

[namesnotprowl]

[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.
