VIDEO; nearby the recreational center

[inferiordude]

[The video feed comes on and shows two Cybertronians: Wing and Soundwave! They're standing outside of a building that some might have come to know as the recreational center.]

S'up, dudes! Soundwave an' Wing, totally rockin' in with an announcement.

First, I want to thank those who helped us with the center. It was a lot of hard work and we couldn't have done it all ourselves. We've decided to call the recreational center Haven's Hub. Though we agree just the Hub ought to be fine.

[Soundwave slings an arm around Wing's shoulders.] Ain't gonna be officially opened til 'bout a week from now, though. Plus, we only got one part of the center up an' running. So th' bar is done, at least! Cybertronians, Earth 'bots, an' little organic dudes all alike can come hang out come next week at least!

Which brings us to the last little detail. We--Soundwave and I--were having some trouble deciding on a name for the bar. Since this place is meant to be open and welcoming to all residents, we figured we'd ask your help. [Wing offers a lop-sided grin.] So we decided that it'd be best if we did a little contest. We're going to accept submissions that will offer a title for the bar. Come next week when we open the bar, we'll draw out the name at random. The one we pick will be the new name of the bar!

So get creative, yeah? I wanna hear what you guys come up with!

The winner, as thanks for their contribution, will also have a drink named after them! Come see us after the bar is opened and we'll talk!

[There's a pause as they're ready to end the video, then the pair just end up practically bear-hugging each other in laughter.]

This is gonna be so smeltin' AWESOME!

I know, I can hardly wait!

[Ah guys Blurr is glad to see the place finished too.] Youdidagreatjob!

I hope you two are aware that ^{some people} here enjoys pranks and that the bar might end with a really special name.

It's not like I am some entertainment bot, but in Detroit there was this place- event, actually, called Dancitron. They had drinks there, for humans, obviously!

Though...I guess that name would make more sense if there were dancing.

[Shrug.]

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

Oh! Oh! Let me! I've always wanted to name something before!

[He waves his arm excitedly.]

[video]

[windyellow]

Dude, what's this 'center' you are talking about?

[thxforthememories]

... A bar?

You can drink alcohol?

[And yes, that is the first thing he focused on. The rest requires creativity he doesn't think he has.]

[Name aka comment not really here]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[How can you not immediately acknowledge the breathtaking awesome of:]

The Wreck Center

[You know that The Whirl would be an entirely formidable drink, too.]

[Video]

[inferiordude]

Yeah, I'm kinda expectin' it!

Blurr, how you doin'?

[Video]

[winged_knight]

Yes Teddie. You have a suggestion?

[Video]

[inferiordude]

Well, I am workin' on an area for dancing. Dancitron, huh? That's kind of a cute name!

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

Okay, I hope you're prebeared, because I'm gonna blow your mind.

[He clears his throat.]

You should call it the Score Zone--NO WAIT! Bear Central--NONONO EVEN BETTER! CHEERS!

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

[EXTREMEEEEELY weirded out by the "organics welcome" thing, but hey, he's danced with them before. If Soundwave says it's okay, then sure whatever, even though he's... still a bit weirded out by this guy's personality.]

[BUT WHO CARES PARTY]

Ah, frag yeah! [biiig grin] Maybe dis place ain't so bad after all! [pause] An' there's gonna be high grade at dat bar, right? None-a dat sissy frou-frou crud. I wanna get overcharged, not buzzed like sum weakling.

[video]

[winged_knight]

There's not much here aside from the First Forged's temples and a few ruins. We're building a place where people can gather and socialize, as well as add some amenities for organics and humanoids like yourself.

I'm sorry you just arrived didn't you? My name is Wing! Well met.

[video]

[inferiordude]

Glad you approve, Frenzy! And yeah, totally high grade!

[video]

[windyellow]

Wow. That's good idea. Where do you guys get the materials for the buildings though? It sounds kind of rough here.

Oh, I'm Dustin.

[Video]

[winged_knight]

Let's hear it Teddie.

[Wing braces himself appropriately.]

[A giggle.] The first one is quite accurate. [And will likely go up on the bar somewhere regardless.] Don't we need more bears for the second one to work though? But, hmm... I do like Cheers.

But Teddie, you should pick one to submit officially.

[Video]

[dontasktrix]

I guess. Purple Fungus or some bands play there. They usually have adds in the Powell Press. The pop acts can play Tigertron Stadium.

I might have noticed when reading articles. [archived reports on the city's Autobot heroes.]

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

[He gives a rather confused blink.]

Why can't I just enter 'em all? I bearsonally think they're all winners.

[video]

[winged_knight]

You're right about that, the rough part. [An odd little grin.] Would you believe me if I said it fell from the sky?

[No, really.]

You've seen the Junk Pile by now right? Well...apparently just about anything can fall through it, even big things. Like what they call 'Home Depot' on Earth.

[Yeeeeah, really.]

Nice to met you Dustin. I know getting stuck here can be a little off-putting. I hope you're faring alright?

video;

[inferiordude]

Well, high grade. You ever try it?

video;

[thxforthememories]

No.

When... would I have tried it?

[vandalization]

Oh man, this is fucking exciting!

[Video] LOL ignore the icon IC'ly. I just couldn't resist tossing it in here. XD;;;

[notyourblueangel]

[Pit, how long has it been since he's been to a bar.]

[...how long has it been since one has even existed? A Cybertronian bar, that is.]

This should be . . . interesting. You have supplies for an establishment like that?

[Video]

[winged_knight]

Isn't it!? So much work put into this, and it's finally paying off. I hope the opening goes well. I feel like there are certainly things we've forgotten.

[Video] RELEVANT! that is such a hysterical scene...

[winged_knight]

[Granted they had several bars, cafes and bistros where Wing comes from, but that means his memory is fresh and he's likely missed them more.]

That's one word for it! It should be great fun, but I'm sure there may be some...incidents. I'll have to likely double as a bouncer, but I have no issue with that. [Except maybe for the always being sober part.]

We do yes. Though I'm certain there are minor things we're missing or forgetting. We'll start operating in a light capacity now in the hopes of finding out.

[Video] ISNT' IT, THOUGH!? XD

[notyourblueangel]

[He thinks about it for a moment, then shrugs.]

Think you might be wanting another bouncer?

[Because not like he has much else to do. And not like he's going to do a lot of drinking himself, to be honest. He learned the hard way that his tolerance is FAR less than it once was, and he doesn't actually like to lose control for any reason.]
