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

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.]

[Barricade sees before him a mech who has been lovingly bullied into this whole dance dress up thing. Who looks really unhappy. But, he is dutiful and he gave his word. ]

I guess I do.

[Glum. He will be the mopiest bouncer in the history of bouncing.]

I'm not sure I'd be interested in either the... hats or a cane, but...

[Trailing off, Elita took something out of subspace and opened her hand. Crystals from the trees out on the edge of Solus' quadrant glittered in the light from her room. She's thought about the whole "formal wear"; going by human standards wasn't something she'd ever do, and even without that a hat seemed quite silly... and not something she could really wear.

A cane, if she needed to fight, would be more in the way than not. This, then was the compromise. The crystals were hard, but not impossible to shape.]

I wouldn't mind some suggestions how to use these. Something that won't be in the way, and could, if necessary, be used by itself.

[She had a vague idea of something like a few long, connecting "strings", but she was certainly open to suggestions, or, if Barricade came up with a similar idea, his take on it.]

Don't seem too happy about it, darlin'. But the least I c'n do is make sure you're outfitted for it since you're going.

[He will put on his most charming grin and as much perkiness as he would ever use.]

Got any preferences, or should I make a recommendation?

Those're from the trees on the outskirts of Solus's quadrant aren't they? They are very nice.

[And will require something a little less generic than the hats. Cane definitely wouldn't be suitable either. But... hrm. He taps one claw idly along the collar of his armor, engine rumbling.]

They'd work well as a necklace, with multiple strands that could be draped down along your shoulders and arms. Maybe a few specific strands draped along your, ah... finials?... as a headdress. Unless they're touchy, of course.

[That's the one reason he's going hatless himself, though fashion is something a bit new to him; they didn't wear anything but paint on his Cybtertron, until they got to earth.]

I was going to look through the piles of junk at first, and then remembered the trees. [She says it with a laugh, shaking her helm at herself. Why do more work than necessary, when the trees were right there?]

That's... [Her optics widen briefly and then narrow. It was a lot more elaborate than she'd thought of at first, but] a nice idea. I like it.

[She shakes her helm and brushes one of the antennae, smiling slightly.]

Not so touchy I couldn't have something like that hanging off them for a joor or so.

[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.

Edited 2013-02-20 22:13 (UTC)

I still don't understand the reason for formal attire, but...

Would a scarf work?

[He read about those. But he can't remember if they go around the neck... or the waist.]

I figure it's simple enough.

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.

It's a requirement f'r a lot of dances on Earth. Especially one's designated as 'black tie', which this one is.

[Barricade's engine rumbles quietly for a few moments as he considers it.]

Scarves... possibly. Though you might ought try something along the lines of a cummerbund - goes around the waist, sort of a pleated belt of cloth - though I'm not much on fabrics.

[He waves his claws a little in indication; he and cloth do not get along so well.]

Those trees were definitely a good place t'start. Crystals in accessories are pretty popular, all around. [And if they happen to be right there, that's even better.]

[He grins.] Claws crossed that I can execute it all, then; I have a tendency t'bite off a bit more than I chew, on occasion.

You've got one up on me, then. [Barricade laughs a little, motioning to the crest of chevrons on his own head.] Mine are not so kind to me.

Hey, you gots any fedoras, pal? [Don't ask him how he knows what a fedora is.]

Oh, also--

[locked]

I been meanin' t'give ya somethin'.

Cummerband? Hmm...

Actually, you know what, I'll take anything you have left over. I'm not picky.

[I hope it's a fannypack]

We really have to dress all fancy? I've never done that. And I can't wear hats.

[ ~~Here comes the fashion police~~] You made those?

I'll see what I have, then.

[By which he means he is going make you the fanciest robot there.
... Or come up with something handsome and color-coordinated, one of those.]

Lucky f'r you, I've figured my way around these sorts of things.

Durable, as well.

[Also heavy and could be made rather sharp. Yes, she's thinking about such things.]

I'd be willing to help, even if I couldn't claim to have any experience. [Another smile, bigger, a bit brighter this time.] Thankful for the suggestion alone and we could try to work it out together?

All the other possibilities seemed kind of... silly. [And impractical. Floofy cloth everywhere? No thanks.]

Ah, they're not insensate either. [Elita actually laughs, and then smirks a little.] But I wouldn't tell just anyone. [Then she tilts her helm curiously.] rather impractical for something that easily reached to be so sensitive though, isn't it? I know that's not unusual, though. Must be frustrating, at times.

Not at the moment, but I'm sure I c'n work one up. Don't tell me, black with a red band? [He's just guessing, given your coloration.]

[Locked]

Have you now? Dare I ask what it is?

Ohhh Barricade, are you going to the dance?

I happen to be looking for someone to go with. I would ask Bulk, but I think there is someone else he would rather go to the dance with.

Edited 2013-02-20 23:34 (UTC)

You need at least one fancy thing, or so I've been told. Never done it in this body, myself, so it should be interesting.

[Can't wear hats, huh?] Got anything else in mind?

[~~Oh dear, that's frightening.~~] I did. My first go at accessories that are strictly fashion.

[He left out the cane he was working on. He has to leave something as a surprise.]

I am. Got a bit of a weak spot f'r dancing.

I see. And as it happens, I am in need of someone to with, myself. Shall we eliminate two birds with one stone, then~?

Always helpful, that. Especially when dealing with our sort.

[He could hardly blame her for considering them in more practical ways. That's how he'd gotten started on this in the first place. Barricade smiles in return.]

Have t'say I agree, on that. Formal wear is rarely anything approaching practical. And I would appreciate the assistance; I'll admit this is the first time I've tried something less utilitarian than weapon holsters.

Heh. They can be, but. That's how I was made, and I can't exactly find fault in it. [The sensor array was overly-sensitive, but it gave him an edge in tracking at the same time.]

I like it! But if ya got somethin' in purple with those little black dots, dat's cool too.

[Serious or not, you decide.]

[locked]

Somethin' I found. I showed it t'Megatron. Y'know, the unglyphed one. An' he told me t'give it to you. [He holds up a round, rusty object.] He said maybe you'd know what t'do with it, if it can be used for anythin'. But if not, I can take it one of the Shockwaves.

Neither did I. I don't think I have anything to wear, after all I always try to weight as less as possible.

[Certain someone has a sensitive head spike, you see.] No, not really. This sort of fancy things was not common in my world.

~~Not yet~~~] Hm....[Knock Out was judging those so hard.]

...they're not bad. I like the details in the first hat. Some of us will avoid anything that has to go ear our head, though. [In case you missed his ears and pointy helmet.]

Do you have anything that could be wear on the chest or waist?
