Greetings.

[Greetings is a good way to start, no? Damn, how do you socialize?! What are people? Someone help him!]

In order to find some material for the... "dance", I went into the Junk Pile and found some items I am willing to give to those who need them. It includes:

A few rolls of dead animal skin.
A black jacket, no doubt part of a suit but I couldn't find the rest.
Two black bowties, but I am keeping one for myself.
Three ties: one pink with green dots, one yellow with blue sharks and one solid black. I think the last one tried to strangle me, but it might just have been the wind.
A pair of scissors.
What looks like brightly colored rope...? [That's tinsel, sweetie.]
Two rather thick sheets of copper, three of aluminum, and one of what appear to be tin. Plus some silver sheet, a lot smaller though.
Three cans of peach. I think they are still good.
Fresh apples. Two bags of them actually.
Brightly colored feathers. Handfuls of them.

And... that's all.

I am at the Hub if you need anything.

And I am also missing a... "date". If someone is interested....

[Have a flat look in answer as well, TC. ]

Really? You have no comrade here? Nobody who would be happy to spend time with you?

[Melan can't quite believe that. There were strange people here, sure, but many of them were nice. Four would happily go with anyone, the Knight was sure.]

They said you have to wear something "formal" to be allowed at the "dance". Do you have one?

[notyourblueangel]

[He's…actually already asked Four, but the little stitchpunk is apparently going with Shockwave of all mechs!. He doesn't feel quite right asking Blurr, who seems to be going through a hard time of something right now anyway. Wing is pretty certainly going with Drift. He's been out of touch with Kay for too long to think she hasn't already found someone. And asking his liege Megatron just wouldn't be proper. But he's not going to admit to any of that, so have a diversion headtilt with a small smirk instead.]

Why, are you offering?

[He snorts softly at the last, somewhat annoyed but not at anyone in particular (since he doesn't know exactly whose inane idea it was for him to be annoyed at).]

No. Additional outer wear of any kind is unnecessary, frivolous, and potentially encumbering. I don't particularly care for anything that could threaten to get in the way of my effectiveness.

[He's not refusing, exactly. But neither is he particularly embracing the idea.]

[knightinbluearmor]

[TC, are you seriously thinking that Melan can understand your sarcarsm? We are talking about a GunSwordman. They can't understand humor even if you shove it right under their nose. So sarcasm? You are asking too much of him!]

Why not? I am myself missing one. And I wouldn't mind spending time with you.

[The Knight tilted his head on the side at TC's next declaration, before nodding.]

I agree. It's unnecessary and might be an hinder if we have to fight.
But it's required to be able to attend, so do you want one? I heard someone made hats as well. They should be small enough to not bother you.

[notyourblueangel]

[He's still learning what Melan does or doesn't respond well to. The comment takes him off-guard, as evidenced in the brief flare of his optics.]

Hmn. As you said, why not. And . . . thank you. Should we meet there somewhere?

I'll find something, I guess. What are you going to wear?



((ooc: Feel free to hit this thread here if you'd like, or we can start something else completely, again if you'd like. Or just handwave. Whatever works best. =3))

[Melan gives the Seeker a small smile. He has a date! Whee!]

You are welcome. I am honored to be your "date". I suppose we could meet at the dance itself: I might be busy until the very last moment.

I have a... bowtie. I saw a human with one once, it's very formal if I understand well.

[notyourblueangel]

[The small smile draws a faint grin from TC, and he nods. He has to think if he knows what a "bowtie" is, but...he doesn't.]

I'm sure it'll be fine. I'll probably get there before you, then. Just come find me.

Busy doing what? [Just being nosy, if nothing else.]
