[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

No. Don't apologize. Please. There's nothing--the only thing that's wrong here is my past. [Which has always been the problem.]

It's why...why I want everything to be perfect. [Back home, here, and with you.] And it seems I keep messing that up. [His own gaze drops, awkwardly, to his feet.]

Re: [Video]

[winged_knight]

I can still try to do things better. It matters to me. You matter.

[A wry vent of air, not quite a laugh, followed by a quiet admission.] Honestly I've thought the same about myself more than once recently. 

But perfection doesn't come immediately, it takes time and practice to get it right. [And then there's a slightly coy grin that says he'd be happy to start practicing; any undertaking, and venue, any position, any time you'd like.]

[Drift feels bad about his flare of temper. It shows that the past still hurts. And he wants--for many reasons--to be over that.]

It's no big deal. [Please, go back to being giddy/happy again, Wing. The fact he's quashed that happiness from you aches.]

I think I'm going to need a lot of practice.

[Please smile, Wing. Please. ]

[If Drift doesn't want to make much of it that's understandable. Trying to do better, to help keep that in the past, is something Wing can do on his own, for his part at least.]

[That coy grin has to stretch into a hopeful smile at those words, because where there's a will, there's a way.]

Me too. We can do it, together. [Really. Anytime. All the time. Try, try again. Until it feels so right hurts.]

[Some of the tension leaves his shoulders at Wing's smile. He hasn't ruined things. He hopes. He's not afraid of much, save driving Wing away. ]

I'd like to try. [And there he is, standing, feeling like a child again.]

[Drift, you will have to try a lot harder if you're going to ruin this. _{Mind you, that's not a suggestion!}]

I do too. More than you know. [A ripple of emotion over his face.] But I'd like to show you.
