ROBOT PROM

the punch has been spiked, the music is whatever they could scrape together, and there’s bleachers to make out behind. takes place OUTSIDE in the forum so there's plenty of space and people can easily crash it.

prom king is optimus prime, prom queen is pipes.

please behave as irresponsibly as you would at real prom.

comment around, mingle, you all know the drill.

Well, as stealthy as Kagerou is, it's a little easy to tell when someone's sneaking down the wall. Years of being in an intergalactic war gave you an eye for giant robots no matter what. So when he sees Kagerou start to snake down, he looks at his drink, a little half-heartedly.

"Are you here to take me out? Because they guys out there have way more importance than I do--I DIDN'T MEAN IT!"

Wow Trailcutter, don't sell your friends out to an assassin. "I mean, just make it quick, alright?"

[fuckinstoplights]

He freezes. He really hadn't expected anyone at all to see him. Not a soul. But there was Trailcutter, yelling at him. He actually loses his grip on the wall, falling into an awkward crouch.

"What--?"

His dumbfounded expression probably speaks volumes.

"What are you talking about?"

[gimmicky]

You're kind of right there, Kagerou. Who are you expecting to fool. Although is eyes travel as the bot falls from the ceiling, wondering...just what he was trying to accomplish.

"Look, I'm just saying, if you're here to assassinate me, there's way better targets to occupy your time with. No one would even notice for like..weeks."

There's a defeated sigh at that.

[fuckinstoplights]

"Assassinate...?"

And thus he continues to look completely dumbfounded. Staring up at Trailcutter from his position on the floor, and doing his best to shrink back from him. Just in case.

"I just want out. I didn't even mean to be here."

[gimmicky]

Well, now its Trailcutter's turn to be surprised. Because...well, your mannerisms aren't exactly 'looking for a way out'. But he'll buy it.

"The party stops right over there. Heck, with those wings you could probably fly out of here."

There's a sip of his drink.

"If you've got elsewhere to be."

[fuckinstoplights]

"Party...? Is that what... this is?"

He nods at the masses of bots before trying to sidle back over to the wall and hide. Behind Trailcutter. Because that's helpful.

"What is it?"

Yes, he is asking what exactly a party is, good job Birdbrain.

[gimmicky]

"It certainly is."

Although his brow quirks up at Kagerou's question. "You don't know what a party is? It's...well, this. A gathering where people have fun and dance and talk."

See: none of the things Trailcutter's doing.

[fuckinstoplights]

"A gathering... to have fun?"

The words sound foreign coming out of his mouth. Like he has no frame of reference for any of it. He blinks a few times, before looking over at Trailcutter instead.

"Why aren't you with them...?"

[gimmicky]

It's okay Kagerou. Not many in his world know how to party either. Most are NAILS and they're kind of legit party poopers.

"I'm not really all that popular."

At least, that's the easy way of putting it.

[fuckinstoplights]

He pauses, shuffling a bit closer. For the moment, this bot seems... just sad. Not threatening. Not shooing him off, either.

He can linger.

"Why not?"
