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.

Comments

[planate]

"Here is fine. Do you know anyone else here?"

He can think of a few to point Kagerou towards to make general connections and Good People.

[fuckinstoplights]

"... No."

It's a lie. But, oh well. No need to try and explain the situation. And, besides, it wouldn't really help anything.

[planate]

Pipes points out a few people.

"That's Optimus, he's really nice. I'm sure he'd be happy to help if you ever needed it." he gestures at both, just to be sure. "That one's Rodimus. He's kind of a jerk but he means well."

Finally, Magnus gets a point. "Ultra Magnus. It's pretty much her job to ensure the safety of people, and she's really good at it."

[fuckinstoplights]

"He's... very big."

Kagerou, you're talking to Pipes. He's like half your size. And he's also doing his best to hunker behind the minibot again. "Why would any of them help me?"

[planate]

"Hey, everyone's big compared to me! They're more like... average to large size."

He shrugs.

"Their size just makes them good at... getting things off high shelves, I guess."

[fuckinstoplights]

He shakes his head, and stays put right behind the smaller bot.

"I can fly. I don't need things off shelves."

[planate]

"Really?"

Fliers are too cool, he puts aside anything else for this. It's very important.

"I didn't realise you were a flier!"

[fuckinstoplights]

"Yes."

Psh, Pipes, no. He's not important. He's like the opposite of important. All the same, he lifts his wings, flicking them a bit.

"See?"

[planate]

"Ooh! Do you have a flying alt-mode or just the wings?"

He's never seen anyone fly with just wings before.

[fuckinstoplights]

"I have a bird mode. And a car mode. The bird is the one that flies."

That last part he adds, in an effort to be helpful.

[planate]

"I have no idea what a bird is."

Some type of jet??

[fuckinstoplights]

"Ah..."

He muses for a moment. If Pipes ends up being dangerous at all, he could fly just as easily in his bird mode as he can now. In the end, he transforms, staring mildly up at the minibot.

[planate]

"Oh!" he practically squeals. "That's so cool!"

[fuckinstoplights]

"I... it what?"

He does not understand this, Pipes.

[planate]

"I've never seen anything like it!"

He cautiously reaches out to... tap the edge of that beak.

[fuckinstoplights]

His head pulls back a bit, mostly in surprise.

"You don't have an animal mode?"

[planate]

"Nope!"

He transforms into his weird little truck altmode, seeing as it's not much of a deal for him.

"Just this one."

[fuckinstoplights]

"... What are you?"

Curiosity overcomes fear, apparently, and the bird hops over a few paces, tilting his head at the space alien truck.

[planate]

"Just a basic truck!" he sounds awfully excited about the fact. "Nothing fancy, I was just a maintenance bot."

[fuckinstoplights]

He looks skeptical, despite Pipes' enthusiasm, reaching out to prod the truck with a foot in curiosity.

"A maintenance bot... you were allowed to do that?"

[planate]

"I was built for it."

Ahh, functionism.

[fuckinstoplights]

"Built for it...?" His head tilts back and forth, body shifting. "That's your purpose?"

No, Kagerou, it's different.

[planate]

"It was."

Kinda. He still did maintenance during the war. Wow that's depressing.

[fuckinstoplights]

"Was..."

Another head tilt. His feet shuffle. "What is it now?"

[planate]

"Right now? I'm not all sure. I have to figure that out."

He shrugs. End of war and all that.

"What about you?"
