[Video] [Open to All] If we BUILD IT, they will come!

[winged_knight]

[He pops on the com, looking waaaaay too excited and eager, even for Wing.]

Fortune shines on us friends! Several of us have been talking about the need for a Rec Center and Bar, a place for everyone to gather, meet up and socialize. It appears the Lambda has, well, gifted us with an extraordinary bit of definitely-NOT-junk which we should be able to use as building materials! [He's not quite sure what this "lumber" stuff is, but it seems like it might be useful?]

[Not necessarily locked to McCrane]
I think you know more about construction that anyone here right? Can you help us out with telling us what we should focus on grabbing to make this happen?

[Not necessarily locked to Soundwave]
Hey, I know you're laid up mech, and we only briefly talked about drawing up blueprints for this idea, but are there any special materials that you think I should look for?

[Not necessarily locked to Blurr]
Hey look, weren't we just talking about this!? I can't believe it! Can you help coordinate any other volunteers we get for gathering and cataloging whatever materials McCrane and Soundwave say we need?

[Everyone else]
Want a bar, a game room, a restaurant, a dance club, a lounge? Help us out by collecting and transporting materials!

A list of useful things:


Beams, preferably steel
Sheet metal or wood
Wiring & lighting
Furnishings
concrete and ceramic blocks

"Game room?" You said the magic words, friend. I'll be happy to help, and lend my game collection.

[winged_knight]

Excellent! I do hope to make it a place suitable for people of all different statures so you'd be more than welcome! We're compiling a list of the needed materials now. You don't know anything about construction by chance, do you?

[Wait. Magic words, what?]

AUDIO;

[inferiordude]

Hmm. Guess that depends on what you find. Beams, sheet metal -- mainly that. And we'd have to outfit th' place with appropriate furnishing and wiring.

...Sorry I can't do much to help right now.

AUDIO; (FFFFfffff, I need to tag him in the medibay!)

[winged_knight]

Hey that's why I'm comming you friend, because I know you'd like to be out here hunting with us if you could. SO let us know what you'd like us to hunt for! I don't know much about construction at all really.

[percept]

Is there anything in particular you require?

video

[winged_knight]

Perceptor! [He seems quite pleased to see you!] I'm still getting feedback from those who know more about the logistics of building, but here's the beginnings of a list:

Beams
Sheet metal
Wiring & lighting
Furnishings

The rest is whatever you can guess is useful.

[tearsofsteel]

...you want to build something?

[A non-destructive robot's quite surprising.]

Video

[winged_knight]

Yes of course! The temples are so spread out, we need a place that is central where everyone is welcome!

[Goodness he seems really excited right now.]

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

'Several of us...'? [What has he missed?]

I...uh I don't think this is a good idea.

[Because he remembers...Teddie.]

[Video]

[winged_knight]

It came up at the party with Blurr... then I started thinking about it again when Soundwave found all that food and those games...

What...no? [He deflates a little. And, maybe for a second there's a pouty lip.]

But... [And then he's hopefully cheerful again. He'll sell you on this great idea if it...well whatever.] We could make a place safe for all the humans too. With a central place to store their food.

[Video] agh sorry for the double post,, I was distracted

[raceme]

So far I talked to Barricade Soundwave and Wing but others might like to help us build the building MIGHT I ASK why do you think is a bad idea? [He's really curious, all opinions are welcome.]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

OOhhh That sounds awesome~! Will there be any areas that humans and other smaller guys can be? I mean I'm use to making sure not to get stepped on and I'm sure Raf is too, but I don't want the other guys to get hurt by accident. Ohh I know, maybe a raised area on some walls so that we can be at a better talking height! That would so totally rock!

[winged_knight]

Yes definitely! That's part of why I want to do this, none of the temples are suited to humans. A place for humans to prepare and serve food would be good too right?

[mccrane]

The most important part of building is having a secure structure. Focus on sturdy materials to form the base.

[Finally! He feels actually very useful all of a sudden.]

There is not much weather, here, so the exterior will mainly be decorative instead of functional.

[winged_knight]

McCrane! [He's overjoyed!] I hope you don't mind me conscripting you for this? I'm at a bit of a loss myself really. You are feeling well enough I hope?

Sturdy materials? There seem to be bricks of stone-like substance, metal sheeting and beams, and sticks or slabs or organic material that seems strong-ish? Are any of those good?

Oh... Decorative? Hmmm.... [Oh dear...you've made him think about a whole new facet of this endeavor.]

[kingofthetvworld]

[You have no idea how absolutely excited he is over this.]

Yes! I knew it! It must be everyone picking on my powerful brainwaves, I knew it was only a matter of time.

Well, sounds like you got a lot of work to do. I'll, uh, leave it to you guys.

[winged_knight]

[Wing has an idea, because he's pretty jazzed himself.]

You knew it? Exactly how?

Well regardless, it's a great bit of fortune for us!

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

What kinda stuff ya guys looking for?

Think I can help in the materials department.

[Video]

[winged_knight]

That's great Wheeljack! I think Preceptor has the lighting area covered. Here's a list of other things you could keep an optic out for:

[Have a small data burst of information:
Beams, preferably steel
Sheet metal or wood
Wiring & lighting
Furnishings
Concrete and ceramic blocks
Plumbing supplies?]

[Video] PING'D

[vandalization]

Bar you say?

[Video] sorry but you pinged whirl's trolldar

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Yeah. Because getting you overcharged is probably an awesome idea.

[Video | loosely Locked | he made it hackable.]

[raceme]

[Blurr looks pretty excited himself. ]

Youbeatmetoit! I am staking all sort of materials in my room since I am not using it not only for the rec center and the bar but also enough to build Wheeljack a proper workshop HE NEEDS one built to withstand bombs and provably fireproof as well I also found medical tools for Ratchet Barricade and Pharma.

[Blurr's room looks like the house of someone with Diogenes syndrome right now. He's not getting anything from himself except maybe a huge umbrella for when it rains and he's recharging outside.]

I will talk to them and start organizing things Barricade said that building the center in the middle of the Haven could be a good idea because it would be affiliated to no one and easy to find.

[my_own_trope]

And just what do you plan on using wood for? [Inferior material that it is]

[raceme]

For the human sized tables and chairs most likely Believe it or not they are not all that fond of metal.

[Video]

[youhavebeenswindled]

Oooh I love it when I see others take on projects~

I'm guessing you're going to need paint?

Video

[idle_time]

When making your way in Cybertron today takes everything you've got, wouldn't you like to get away? People want to go where they can see their troubles are all the same!

Video

[winged_knight]

I uh... Yes I suppose that true.

Ah, I'm Wing. I don't think we've met yet? [He would have remembered you for sure.]

[ex_dishonestly997]

I actually like this idea.

But it looks like you've got plenty of volunteers. [aww yeah shirking physical labor]

I should be packing and such but...can't resist this. ;D

[winged_knight]

I'm glad! People seem to be really rising to the occasion.

Oh but we really need to inventory and catalog what we've salvaged. I need someone keen enough to have good attention to detail. Are you up for it? [Have some administrative work then Starscream!]
