Happy Hour, Cubefall Edition!

[ikissdhimbck]

It's been a pleasant enough month. After all the hullabaloo of the Shindig cleared out, Kate took some time to herself to relax. She's been around, in and out of the stables as usual, but mostly sticking to the libraries and her room.

She's pleased when she comes downstairs and gets a reminder of just what the date is.

The familiar screen pops up:

Hello! Welcome to Milliways. Today, Milliways marks the Cybertronian holiday of Cubefall, the anniversary of the day upon which the Allspark first landed on the rocky world that would become Cybertron. Would you like to sample some possible reconfigurations? (y/n)





Kate grins, taking some time to pore over the choices. The robot is a little unsettling; the horse is tempting. She was a fella two years back for the holiday, and she actually quite enjoyed the experience. Folk always like to compare what a woman can do to what a man can do. Getting some actual idea of what the differences really are...

She chews on her lip, and hits the series of buttons it takes to reconfigure her. Hell if she won't have some more fun with this.

When it's done, a napkin pops up on the Bar.

"Y'jus' like askin' me when I'm tall 'nough t'reach the shelves, don't you?" 'he' grumbles, not without amusement.

He leaps over the counter spryly, and quickly scribbles up a few specials.

Happy Hour Specials:

Robot Cocktail
Fluffy Duck
Gender Bender Shooter
Bourbon

Build something for half off your drink, and an extra shot of good luck.

"Bar's open! Yeehaw."

Mairi will uncover a faded pair of flip flops for going to the beach eventually. pus, of course, the ribbons and paper.

"I know. It took me a while to figure out why I couldn't find a robot option."

[a1enzo]

"Any special functions?"

"Whatta these?"

"Shoes."

Mairi looks at them in consternation, then places her own feet against them. Clearly, this is not going to work.

[seat_five_girl]

Truly, flip flops are the most complicated of footwear.

"The eyes are different. I can see infared along with red, green and blue, so there are new colors."

There is also a straight light intensity level on a per pixel basis without any color but that isn't doing anything special right now.

[a1enzo]

"Cool. Do I look any different?"

Probably not. No heat emission.

[seat_five_girl]

"Not really? It's hard to tell since almost everything is different though."

Contrast is still an issue.

[a1enzo]

"See your point. Mairi, keep that off your face, okay?"

Mairi does not actually have the wrapping paper on her face, but is pulling it taut over the crown of her head. "Hat!" she declares.

[seat_five_girl]

"It's a very nice hat," agrees Ako. Then, to Enzo, "No changes yet for you?"

[a1enzo]

"After we've played for a while. I'm probably not going to reboot with fingers."

[seat_five_girl]

"It makes the legos much harder to use," agrees Ako before she turns to the younger and behatted Sprite, "Can I have my sandals back now?"

[a1enzo]

"'Kay." Mairi has no use for them; she waves the flip-flops in Ako's direction.

[seat_five_girl]

Ako leans over and more or less plucks them from Mairi so she can tuck them back in her sylladex.

"Do you know what anyone else has changed to yet?"

[a1enzo]

Mairi goes back to trying to drape ribbons over her head as well.

"Well," he gestures to the bartender, "that's Kate Barlow."

[seat_five_girl]

Ako tilts her head sideways at that news.

"Huh."

Somehow close enough to normal to be slighter stranger than an animal would be.

[a1enzo]

"I don't think I'd go for that. I mean, you know, being a girl."

Mairi looks up, considering this. "Aunt Enzo?"

"Not gonna happen, Mairi."

"Aunt Enzo!" Mairi repeats, delighted.

[seat_five_girl]

"Think of all the educational experiences!"

Think of all the embarrassing jpegs.

[a1enzo]

"No."

"Heeheeheeheeheehee!"

[seat_five_girl]

Not a lot of point in pushing until Enzo pulls up his vidwindow anyway.

"Aww."

[a1enzo]

"Look, girls are great, I just like... liking them from the outside."

Beat.

"Where I'm taller."

There it is.

[seat_five_girl]

"But science Enzo, what about the science?"

[a1enzo]

"My dad's the scientist. He can be a woman if he wants."

[seat_five_girl]

Ako taps her fingers a couple of times.

"Yeah, okay. That's fair."

[a1enzo]

It's true, anyway; considering his sister, she-Enzo would probably be tiny.

"Not one of my options this time anyway. All the forms it gave me start with E. Cubefall joke, I guess."

[seat_five_girl]

"Everything?"

Why yes, she's running with the theme. Why do you ask?

[a1enzo]

Enzo shoots her a sharp look.

"You're having fun, aren't you?"

[seat_five_girl]

Smirk.

"Yup."
