new years eve party! ota

WHO: Everybody!
WHERE: De Chima Grand Hotel (and the entire block around it)
WHEN: December 31st, 2017
WHAT: New Years Eve Bash!
WARNINGS: Drinking, partying, etc.



[De Chima's Grand Hotel is the city's most luxurious and expensive hotel, mirroring the sophistication and art-forward nature of the neighborhood that surrounds it. The space inside is an electic mix of cast-iron detailing and majestic masonry columns, all of which create a leap from the street outside to the accomodations inside. Bruce rented the entire hotel months in advance, wanting to make a gesture to imPorts and native citizens for all of the turmoil they endured over the past year. Now, instead, they could all come together and celebrate their entry into a new year, and hopefully, better circumstances.

The hotel leads party-goers up the iron wrought grand stair, hand painted silver leaf ceiling overhead, to equally beautiful hand painted elevator doors. It takes them all the way to the rooftop, a spacious outdoor oasis with unobstructed views to De Chima's own glittering New Years Eve ball. There's a premium open bar, with catered hors d'oeuvres and dessert stations. Festive hats, horns, and noisemakers are complimentary as well as Champagne at midnight.

Not to be outdone, Tony Stark has the entire street outside of the hotel set up with a DJ and the largest speaker setup anyone has ever seen, blasting an upbeat playlist of blood-pumping music. Woden is, unfortunately, uninvited from performing after the events of last month, his photo passed around to security and bouncers alike to remove him from performing. Unfortunately, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, who had planned on attending, is immediately removed from the premises by mistake. He can be heard screaming through his vocodor that there is some sort of mistake, but his cries go untended. As with the rooftop above, complimentary Champane and alcohol is served at ground level.

At midnight, the countdown begins to 2018, with a fireworks display the moment the ball drops at 12:00, a joint effort between both billionaires, and one of the few things the both of them could actually agree upon for the evening. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE AT MOM!]

Er...

[riptide continues to look around, clearly confused.]

I didn't mean to do that.
hellrisen02: (Filled with joy and wonder)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2018-01-03 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Duo snorts, but just walks up and plops down on Riptide's foot.]

Yeah, I figured. You partyin' hard, huh? They got New Year's parties on Cybertron? How long're your years in Earth years, anyway?

[He clinks his glass in a toast against Riptide's ankle and sips.]
knaval: (to get)

[personal profile] knaval 2018-01-03 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Respectively: I always party hard, no, and about twice the length because our days are about 48 hours. That's how that works, right?
hellrisen02: (What did you think when you lost another)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2018-01-04 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Good, oh, and hey, same as Mars! You ever been to Mars, our little red neighbor next-door? Real nice, once it's terraformed.

[Duo sips at his drink.] 's only got algae and microbe lifeforms native to it. Hell, terraformation probably wouldn't have been possible without 'em.

Cybertron's not so different from here after all, in some ways, huh?
knaval: (peculiar)

[personal profile] knaval 2018-01-04 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Nnnno. I've never been to this entire system. I don't even like it here-- why would I want to go somewhere with more of you people?

[ugh. he's a little more... honest? when he's drunk, apparently.]

Cybertron's a bombed out shithole.
hellrisen02: (Filled with joy and wonder)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2018-01-04 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[I mean, he's not wrong, and also not mad, and also Duo could point out that he'd probably like it better since there's no humans there now, in this universe (that he knows of), but--]

[Whatever, he just drinks instead.]
Jesus. They get more and more similar every day. Happy New Year.
knaval: (going to say it out right)

[personal profile] knaval 2018-01-04 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Great.

[he huffs, shifting to cross his legs.]

What did you want?
hellrisen02: (this song has no more lyrics btw)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2018-01-04 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Duo easily hops about to let Riptide shift himself around so he doesn't get crushed by robot limbs- good thing he's used to this sort of shit, right- and then perches himself again, like an annoying mosquito.]

Nothing, really. Was kinda just checkin' on ya. The party hasn't blown up into a full on disaster yet, so that's a plus.

I haven't heard a peep from your problems lately, think some of 'em got Ported out. Thank Lachesis for the little things, I guess.
knaval: (or outlined)

[personal profile] knaval 2018-01-05 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I was keeping an optic on them when I was in space. Luckily none of the cameras could see inside my head, so.

[brain internet connection! fun times.]

Uh. Thanks?
hellrisen02: (Readying to bury your father and mother)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2018-01-05 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
That's... good. [He's not actually sure how to interpret the 'inside my head', sort of, although he gets the most literal sense.]

Yeah. You enjoy being up there? Felt a little more comfy? Apart from the almost getting blown up parts, that sucked. I feel ya.

Still kinda jealous, but my plans to get up there got ...sidetracked. [Tch, and at this point, he's not sure he'll be able to use that lead anymore.]
knaval: (look out at each town)

[personal profile] knaval 2018-01-05 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It didn't come close to blowing us up. Sucks they didn't broadcast me 'n Odin ripping the thing to pieces. It was pretty cool.

[he shrugs.]

It was space. What were your plans? You shoulda come up with us. Auditioned.
hellrisen02: (Blind to the other)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2018-01-05 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...Did they record it? [Duo raises a brow, mischief in his eyes. Well now, that's some footage he'd love to dig up.] What'd that thing look like anyway? That attacked you guys. I take it nothing you were familiar with, not that I think anything that'd come outta the reaches of this universe will probably be familiar to anyone's homeworld.

Naaah, nah, I'm not a limelight kinda guy. [Duo chuckles, waving a hand.] I wouldn't be any good for the entertainment. Except maybe the snappy commentary. Anyway, [He easily half-lies] I been looking into the development of space tourism in this world. Hits kinda close to the history of my world, was curious of the technology would be something I could work with.

When I was younger I used to have my own shuttle service, did deliveries around the orbital colonies, that kinda thing.
knaval: (look out at each town)

[personal profile] knaval 2018-01-05 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, yeah, I wouldn't bank on your wit. We didn't even have votes and you woulda been voted off. And I have no idea if they recorded it. The thing just looked like a small ship.

[he just hates it because he doesn't get it.]

Don't bother. I don't think space travel is close to being a reality here, BB3K notwithstanding. It was a pretty primitive craft. No good for long stretches.
hellrisen02: (Would you care if you lost the other?)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2018-01-05 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Ouch. [Duo snorts a chuckle.] Hey, I can't deny that, I guess. I'm an acquired taste. [That no one has, hm, Duo?] A ship, huh... Did it look remotely advanced to you?

...Yeah. Humans never considered physical travel outside the galaxy as being even close to a possibility, in my time. Which I assume is what you mean by long stretches. A couple planets over in the same star system, at best. But hey, that's a matter of perspective, I still think it's worth checking into.

Problem is, even if you get into space... There's nowhere to go worth a damn. Not for a human, anyway.
knaval: (and far)

[personal profile] knaval 2018-01-05 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Just like a regular human craft.

[he shakes his head.]

Yep. You're a worthless race. Next point.
hellrisen02: (this song has no more lyrics btw)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2018-01-05 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, you're stuck with us, better get used to it.

[But, a ship like a human craft? That very well meant it could have been someone like OTO... Duo inwardly thinks on the matter for a few moments before deciding to look into it later.]

You don't wanna go home? [It's more a statement than a question.]
knaval: (how that light you love)

[personal profile] knaval 2018-01-06 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Ughhh. Why am I so good natured and friendly? It's my downfall!

[he throws his arms up, getting a bit of a reaction from people still wary of him.]

Home here? If Cybertron even exists here then it could still be in the middle of war. This could be an alternate universe where Megatron won. I mean, I doubt it, but I'm not ruling it out! [he shakes his head.] I want to go home, but I can also wait. If I get too sick of it all, I'll just go into stasis somewhere for a couple hundred years. See what the situation is when I wake up.
hellrisen02: (Deaf to the other)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2018-01-06 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Duo laughs cheerfully at that and raises his glass again before draining it.] Buddy, I ask myself that every day!

[He looks skeptical- that Cybertron still exists in this world, but Duo nods along. Better safe than sorry, Riptide wasn't wrong about that, not when the consequences would be getting pulled back into an intergalactic war on that scale.] Jeez, wish we could just go into stasis like that, eh. [He says with contextless irony, bitterness flashing in his eyes. Fuckin' Yuy.]
knaval: (that's high)

[personal profile] knaval 2018-01-06 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't you have cyro or something?

[he taps his finger off his chin.]

Maybe look into it. A hundreds years isn't really that long, when you think about it.
hellrisen02: (Blind to the other)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2018-01-06 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah, we do. [Duo sighs, shrugging listlessly.] It's not a widespread technology, but it's there. Doing its thing.

People popsicles.

[Man, he needs a refill.] Heh! For you guys it's hardly a blink, isn't it? For us, 3 decades and... it's like your whole life has gone by. [Wasted.]
knaval: (and we don't recognize)

[personal profile] knaval 2018-01-06 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't relate.
hellrisen02: (Would you care if you lost the other?)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2018-01-06 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, yeah. I figured not.

[Mortality, what a laugh]

How do Cybertronians stasis, anyway? Obviously, being non-organic you don't have to worry about decomposition so much, but the materials of your bodies don't ever degrade?
knaval: (is that marionette)

[personal profile] knaval 2018-01-06 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
We're a long-lived species all around. Our armour would go to shit eventually, but it'd take a long time in extreme conditions.
hellrisen02: (Filled with joy and wonder)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2018-01-06 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
So you... hibernate underground? Packed in away from the influence of other lifeforms and protected from abrasives?

Guess you gotta hope your internal clock wakes you up before the nearest sun goes nova.
knaval: (now just won't shine)

[personal profile] knaval 2018-01-06 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Or just... out in the open. Wherever, really.

[he snorts.]

Yeah. They're pretty good at doing that.
