Come gather 'around the fire...

Who: Anyone
What: A gathering for the citizens of Haven. A time to relax and mingle...and a little something more.
When: All day and night of the 14th
Where: Outside of The Hub, and perhaps inside too if you wish.
Event: Not everything is as it seems. Some of the offerings will cause some...unexpected results.

The Guardians have been hard at work getting the large open street outside of the Hub and Warehouse set up for a massive gathering. There were tables set up all over the place full of all kinds of food, drink, and fuel. A large bonfire had been set up in the middle of everything, and various volunteers rotated in and out throughout the day and night playing various kinds of music or providing other types of entertainment. There would be a constant flow of music, skits, acrobatics, and magic tricks. The festivities will be held throughout the day.

Not everything would go as planned, though. There were a few tables among that many that had been set up courtesy of the Miasma. They go unnoticed with everything else going on. Really, there is enough for literally hundreds of people of various races, the handful of suspicious tables are easy to miss. The contents of these tables will have peculiar effects on those who consume the contents offered upon them. Nothing harmful really, just some effects to further encourage the lighthearted purpose of this gathering.

((ooc: tag in, mingle, have fun. Effects can last for only the party or through the end of the week, and can be mixed as much as you want.))

Jadewing didn't know what was in this energon, but it was good stuff whatever it was. And it was going to his processor faster than Skycutter's bootleg high grade. And here he'd thought this party was going to be boring...

It'd been awhile since she'd seen Jade----since they'd arrived in fact. So she'll be quick to flag him down, innocently intended at first.

"Jade! Goodness, I haven't seen you since we'd arrived, no doubt you've fully recovered?"

When Jade returns the greeting, it seems clear he's already been into whatever robots use in place of alcohol. Because honestly there's no way he'd be this... cheerful while sober.

"Heeeey, if it isn't...", he trails of briefly as he realizes he still doesn't have a clue what her name is, "...the uh... ice-lady!" Best recovery there, yep."Yeah, I'm back in flyin' form thanks to you'n Paian," he said. He thumped a metal fist against his chest with a loud clank just to emphasize his health.

"Ya know, tha's a pretty handy upgrade you got there," he commented. "How'd ya come by it?"

"Elsa! My name's Elsa, Jade. I'm so glad you're doing better though! Oh, I was worried sick for a while, but then Galos happened, and well...I didn't think to say hello afterwards."

"Upgrade? I'm afraid I don't follow." but no matter, she still grinned.

Jadewing looked briefly surprised when the woman- Elsa, she'd said her name was- confessed that she'd been worried about him. That wasn't something he expected from other Cybertronians, never mind humans.

But he was quickly distracted by less complicated (or so he thought) subjects. "You know, the ice... thing," he gestured vaguely indicating his lack of understanding about how it really worked. "Keep tellin' Snowfall that he should look into some cryo weapons. Goes with his name and all, ya know? But ones a Seeker could use 're hard to come by."

"Oh. Oh! An upgrade. No, that's not an upgrade, that comes standard. At least for me!" She nods.

"Weapons, I'd have never thought. But if you need any inspiration, I could---well. Maybe help."

Weapons not so keen on, but providing ice and snow would help, and she loved to help.

"Really? Huh... didn' know humans could do that, outside of movies and slag," he said. "Pretty cool." It took a second or two but he realized the pun he'd unintentionally made and chuckled.

"Yeah, all Seekers come with is the standard arm weapons," he said, indicating one of his. "Gotta get something more interestin' if ya wanna get ahead. Like Thunda... Thundercracker's sonic booms or Skywarp's teleportin'. Somethin' to make ya stand out, ya know?"

She chuckles, out of character like.

"Who? Skywarp? Can teleport? That's incredible."

A beat.

"But you can fly, can't you? I've heard of others not being able to."

Out of character or not, Jadewing's hardly sober enough to notice. "Heh, yeah, teleportin's his thing," Jadewing said. "Unique mod, far as I know. Probly good thing he had it too; ol' Warp never was the sharpest blade in the armory, 'f ya know what I mean, so he had ta have somethin' goin' for him."

He blinks a moment, looking confused at Elsa's question. "Course, I can fly," he said. "All Seekers can fly, long as they're not damaged, like I was." It doesn't occur to him that she might be talking about Cybertronians in general.

"Hey!" It was with some effort Sam stopped at that one word, aware she'd stated 'hey you up there' should remain a last resort... even if she was tempted to tease a little, since Jadewing had demonstrated a decent sense of humour. "How goes it?"

"Hey-hey!", greeted the obviously drunk Seeker. "If it isn't the human with the wild paintjob. It's goin' pretty good for me. Kinda boring usually, but 's better than getting shot at 'm I right?" He chuckled tipsily.

"I'd... think almost anything would be better than getting shot at. It's an experience I'm going to do everything I'm able to avoid." Sam turned her hands up in emphasis, but allowed them to swing down and settle on her hips after a beat. "But! I'm glad to hear it's going good, and obligated to say: you should see some other people. I'm pretty much playing catch-up... or would be, but my ink is all for me."

"There's worse things," he said. "But yeah, avoid it if ya can. Not somethin' I'd recommend. Actually gettin' shot even less."

He chuckled at her description of her tattoos. "Usually see humans from the air; one kinda looks like another up there," he said. "But yeah, I hear that. You should see some'a the paint jobs Seekers get into. Dunno what the frag they were thinkin'..."

"Definitely duly noted." The adept nodded, speaking sincerely. "I'd like to see, but I'll settle for hearing about any especially interesting... or especially awful. If you wouldn't mind? You needn't name names."

"Aw, now not namin' names just takes all the fun outta it," he chuckled. "A couple'a the worst're Hooligan and Space Case. Hooligans got himself painted up like an Earth tiger. Orange base, black stripes, and red accents in robot mode to make it extra glaring. Then Space Case's got a white base with... I don' even know what the frag you'd call it. A blue and black grid type thing with a big neon pink squiggle on it an' even more pink in robot mode an' a blue helmet with a yellow faceplate. Seriously just what the frag?"

Space Case's ridiculous paint job just made him laugh more. Because it really was that stupid, and everything is more amusing when you're overcharged.

"Okay, that's true. I was trying to be polite, but it's true; I'm not going to argue." Even if hanging around an obviously inebriated giant robot was a terrible idea, she found herself grinning up at Jadewing. The tone of the conversation was altogether all too and absurdly familiar---it could've blended into the aftermath of any karaeoke event on any campus anywhere. "White, with blue, black, and pink patterning? I can't say for certain until I've seen it myself, but I can think of one thing you could conceivably call that."

Not as dangerous as one might think, unless he decides to get up and dance. In which case, he should definitely be given a wide berth.

"Hehehhe... what's that?", Jadewwing asked with a snicker. "Ugly?" Yep more snickering. Things really are more amusing when you're drunk. X3

No way man this party was literally the best part At least that's how Gunmax felt after chugging through too much happy juice. That's what it's called now. He saunters on up and gives Jadewing a playful whack on the back because why the hell not.

"Yo! How's it hangin'?"

This was totally the best party. All it needed was a good brawl to bet on or join in and it would be perfect. And Jadewing had clearly had a bit too much happy juice himself, judging by his reaction to Gunmax's greeting.

"Hey, Gunmax!", he replied with a dopey grin. "Doin' pretty good from where I'm standin'. Was thinkin' this'd be a boring party but man, this energon is some seriously good slag."

"Man, I think someone spiked it. Or something. Can you spike energon?"

he has no idea but frankly he doesn't really care.

"The party could be more exciting, but y'know. Can't complain. Free drinks n'all, nobody that needs shot at, I could get used to this."

"Yep!", Jadewing confirmed. "You should see some of the stuff Mixmaster comes up with. One'a his 'special blends' had me seein' dancin' helio-hamsters for days. An' Cloudkicker wouldn't shut up about it for months."

Jade nodded. "Yeah me too," he said. "Specially the whole 'not gettin' shot at' part. Nice change from back home."

"I have no idea what a helio-hamster is, but it sounds better than regular hamsters and therefor amazing."

A toast to helio-hamsters why not, Gunmax slams down the rest of his drink.

"Tell m about it. I mean, I guess we didn't have it as bad as you guys did, but still."

"Cybetronian wildlife," Jadewing said. "Cybertron Zoo had some, back when there was a Cybertron Zoo. Might even be some runnin' around here someplace."

And Jadewing has no idea what they're even toasting but it's not like he needs a reason to get more cratered than he already is at this point. So down goes the rest of his drink too!

"Pfft... Seekers are made to get shot at," Jadewing said. "Why you think we got these huge-aft symbols on our wings?" He wiggled his more visible wing in a decidedly uncoordinated way. "Might as well be wearin' a fraggin' bullseye, right?"

Much as Seekers loved their wings, it was a hilariously bad design choice. In fact it was so hilarious he started chuckling about it.

"Dude. We should open a new zoo. A better zoo. I mean, all it'll have in it is cats n'shit. ...Okay, maybe it won't be better."

Gunmax stares at his empty glass, apparently confused by the fact that it's empty.

"But yeah. Man. I dunno man. You're like, bright-ass green. That's kinda easy to spot."

"Yeah, zoo's dumb," Jadewing said. "I dunno... maybe we could make the cats do weird slag 'n tape it? Humans think it's funny or somethin'... And there's a cheeseburger in it somewhere. Dunno what that's about..."

Jadewing just laughs at the comment about his paintjob. "Hah! Ya think mine's bad, ya should see bots like Space Case an' Hooligan. They got some crazy-aft paintjobs."
