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.

Ultra Magnus is chaperoning the party, of course. She's hunkered down in a chair in the corner, nursing an energon spritzer and glaring suspiciously at everyone.
Someone should probably come over and distract her so that Rodimus and Drift can sneak off under the bleachers.

Optimus was on his way back to his own corner of the room when he caught sight of the unmistakable bot. In a split second he was addressing her with a perfect salute, years of academy training kicking in.

"Ultra Magnus, ma'am. I didn't realize you were here on this planet." He started to falter near the end though as it became obvious this wasn't the Ultra Magnus he was familiar with. He hesitantly lowered his arm, a little unclear about the command structure after what the other Optimus had said about the difference with Prime and Magnus on his world.
smallandincharge: Really now (Eyebrow raise)

[personal profile] smallandincharge 2015-05-15 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
"-- Prime!" exclaims Magnus, standing up a little too sharply and nearly dropping her drink. "Is everything in order, sir?" She pauses. "Wait. Why are you saluting?"
academybot: (26)

[personal profile] academybot 2015-05-15 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Uh." Optimus dropped his arm completely, looking up sharply when Magnus stood. Optimus wasn't the tallest autobot back home to be sure, but he couldn't figure out why so many of the autobots on this planet had to be so huge.

"Sorry, my mistake." He looked over his shoulder, glancing around the room till he spotted his much taller counterpart. "Optimus Prime is your commander, right? That Optimus Prime?"
smallandincharge: 'miracle' is a complicated word (well this is awkward)

[personal profile] smallandincharge 2015-05-15 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
It takes Magnus a moment to realize that this Cybertronian, despite bearing a strong resemblance to Optimus Prime, is several heads shorter than her. She's never really had an eye for heights. (And there's a part of her that has never quite gotten used to looking down at everyone.) She takes a moment to gather her thoughts.
"Well, yes, of course. I mean -- he's more than just my commander. He's a -- well, he's a Prime." She glances over to Optimus Prime, and then back to the Cybertronian in front of her. Now that she has a little more time to look at him, the differences between the two are obvious. "I take it that you are not Optimus Prime, then?"
academybot: (23)

[personal profile] academybot 2015-05-18 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Right." If his tone was a little flat and dismissive, he really didn't care at this point. It was getting a little taxing to start almost every conversation with how great his double was for being a 'Prime'. There might be a slight bit of jealousy there.

"Yes and no. Just- just call me Optimus. Not titles needed."
smallandincharge: none of you are free of sin (blocked. blocked. blocked.)

[personal profile] smallandincharge 2015-05-18 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Magnus is not nearly socially adept enough to pick up on the subtext, so she simply replies with "All right. I will." She's not sure what else to say.
academybot: (28)

[personal profile] academybot 2015-05-19 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Optimus could take this opportunity to back out of this whole conversation, but might as well take the chance to act some questions while he was here. If he was going to be stuck on this planet, it would probably be a good idea to learn more about them and their universe as a whole. He definitely felt like a minority here.

"Actually do you mind if I ask about your title. 'Magnus,' does it mean anything in particular?"
smallandincharge: Really now (Eyebrow raise)

[personal profile] smallandincharge 2015-05-19 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Title?" she says, surprised. "Magnus isn't a title - it's part of my name. My house name, to be precise."
academybot: (33)

[personal profile] academybot 2015-05-19 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh. Yeah I suppose that makes sense. Guess that's one of those universe differences" Not like they would need a Magnus if they had the whole Prime-chosen-by-a-mystical-artifact thing going on.

"It doesn't seem like you think much of the party," he observed.

He was trying to imagine the Supreme Commander at this kind of event and was utterly failing.
smallandincharge: I think it just means... ugh. (Ugh)

i feel like ultra magnus is exactly the type of nerd who would be very proud of her alliteration

[personal profile] smallandincharge 2015-05-19 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right. Yes. Alternate universes. Still getting used to that idea." Ultra Magnus grimaces, and then takes a sip of her energon spritzer.
"I'm perfectly pleased with the progression of the party, as it happens. The troops have been decompressing in what would otherwise be a deeply stressful environment, without indulging in chaos or insubordination. So, no, I think very highly of the party. I just have no intention of participating in it." She's about to take another sip of her drink when something occurs to her. "Wait. Are you implying that Magnus means something different in your universe?"
academybot: (42)

[personal profile] academybot 2015-05-25 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Well that was a characteristically clinical view of situation, to be sure.

"If you weren't planning on participating, you didn't have to show up." Just an obversation.

"Yes, that's correct. The Magnus is the head of the Autobot Council. It's basically what you would refer to as 'Prime'."

[personal profile] smallandincharge 2015-05-15 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ultra Magnus glances at Rodimus. "I'm not just sitting here. I'm closely monitoring all present parties to ensure that proper decorum and safety protocols are observed. Also, I'm having a very pleasant drink." She takes a sip of her energon spritzer. "Ahhh, that's nice."
smallandincharge: SERIOUSLY THIS IS ILLEGAL (Default)

glances meaningfully at the megatron thread which presumably hasn't happened yet

[personal profile] smallandincharge 2015-05-16 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Magnus lets out an indignant squawk. "I need to do no such thing!" she sputters. "I am here as the party's chaperone and security detail, not as yet another redundant..." She pauses for a moment, gesticulating towards the rest of the partygoers while she searches for the right word. Finally, she settles on " -- reveler!" spat out with the force of an oath.
smallandincharge: SERIOUSLY THIS IS ILLEGAL (THIS IS ILLEGAL)

[personal profile] smallandincharge 2015-05-16 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"That is a -- preposterous rule!" she exclaims, puffing herself up like an angry cat. "A party host is a, a service provider, not a position of authority! You, uh." As she pauses to think for a moment, her indignation drains away. Then it rushes back in just in time for a theatrical "You have no legal recourse to force me to do anything!"

Magnus does look at him, for a moment, and for that moment there's something strange in her expression, something Rodimus isn't used to seeing. Something almost... vulnerable. But then the moment passes, and her face hardens again as she turns away.

[personal profile] smallandincharge 2015-05-22 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Magnus's shoulders slump, all of her fight abruptly gone. She shakes her head, still not meeting Rodimus' gaze. "You don't understand," she says, voice flat and tired. "Ultra Magnus does not... dance."

Pipes, of course, had made it his sole mission in life (or at least the next few hours) to talk to literally everyone. Even the giant phase sixer and mass murderers - he's working up to those, alright.

Right now, it's Magnus' turn. Pipes practically skips over to her, absolutely delighted to see another Lost Light crew member. "Magnus!" he salutes quickly, still not sure if she would attempt to write him up in the middle of a party on another planet. "It's great to see you, uh... taking part? It's certainly been a while."

Your armour has a lovely shine and you're looking very law-bringer-y today, he decides, is probably a bit over the top. Maybe some other time.
smallandincharge: Mine is for neatest handwriting! =D (Finally the recognition I deserve)

what no why wouldn't it be

[personal profile] smallandincharge 2015-05-16 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Magnus doesn't quite smile when she sees Pipes, but her face softens noticeably. "Ah, Pipes! It has, indeed, been a while. It is... good to see you, again." Magnus may not have known Pipes all that well, but any resurrection is worth celebrating. "I hope that you are enjoying yourself in a responsible fashion?"
planate: (it's half full)

ive no clue

[personal profile] planate 2015-05-16 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Extremely responsibly!!" he points to his glass. "Only one. As of yet."

He's probably going to end this evening completely gazeboed on one of the bleachers but it's the journey that matters, not the destination.

"Actually, speaking of..." Pipes nudges Magnus' knee gently. "I heard it's official party rules that you have to dance at least once for no less than exactly five point six minutes."

If there's a less subtle way of asking her to dance, Pipes probably doesn't know it.
