Who: Celestia, optionally Grimlock, and YOU.
Where: Around LA.
When: Around the beginning of July
What: Celestia out and about, variously grazing her magic horse and walking the gigantic metal dino puppy that Lina brought back to Alpha Tower
Warnings: This will probably be completely PG but Grimlock is very rude


A: JUST THE HORSE
Horseback riding in parks isn't totally unheard of around here, but few horses one sees out and about are as large, gleaming white and undefinably majestic as the one that's currently grazing about 10 feet away from you. The woman clad in white with the unnaturally rippling pastel rainbow hair is a pretty unusual sight too, but if you don't recognise Celestia, founding member of Alpha Force, 40-year supercelebrity and queen of the reclusive magic island nation of Equestria then you probably live under a rock or something. Fortunately her reputation as friendly and amicable is long established, so approaching her isn't totally out of the question. Maybe she can dispense some wisdom. Maybe you can get a signature. Maybe you want to try to prove what a hardass you are by trying to attack her (good luck with that, chumbo).


B: WALKING THE DINOSAUR
Same place, different day, and Celestia is at the park again, but rather than an exceedingly tame and docile equine steed she's accompanying Grimlock. She thinks it'd be a good idea to get the big robot out and about for a bit of... well, robots don't really need exercise or fresh air, but this robot, fresh off the TRIDENT assembly line as he seems to be, could probably do with a bit of time outside of Alpha Tower, maybe some socialisation...

She knows there is every chance this could end in mayhem, but she has every confidence in her ability to rein the dinobot in if needs be – and really, a little harmless mayhem wouldn't totally go amiss as far as she's concerned.

"Now, Grimlock," she says, patting his massive metal leg gently as she leads him through the park, "people here will probably be very excited to see you – children love dinosaurs – but you must remember to be nice to them, and not to attack anybody – or anything."


(If you'd like a different, non-park setup with Celestia and Grimlock, feel free to assume something similar at the beach or something like that!)

Squatting at Celestia’s side, Grimlock rumbles, though not disapprovingly, at her touch. He’s unsurprisingly pretty confused though. “Not... attack? HMMMM.” The concept really isn’t something that he’s ultra familiar with. “Me Grimlock not understand. Always thing to fight. Horse lady want me Grimlock to let challenger get away?

My, that is a majestic horse. Raiden pauses midstep, kind of unsure about what to do because now he's staring at this horse and is that weird? It's probably kind of weird, he's just no great with animals and he doesn't want to get into a fight with a horse that's the last thing he nee-- oh, is that Celestia?

"Celestia," he says in greeting, "is... this your horse?"

It's amazing how much weird shit you see if you hang out in the parks in LA often enough, apparently. It wasn't like this back home, but it's almost like it's totally unavoidable here.

Chris is out doing some errands; meaning it's his turn to do the grocery shopping and he got distracted, only to be further distracted by-- holy shit is that Celestia walking a robot dinosaur? Holy shit, holy shit. He jogs over, waving a greeting and comes to a stop right in front of Grimlock. "Hey man, are you like--" he stops himself from just going 'what are you' at this poor dinosaur, grinning up a storm, "are you like, one of them autobots or whatever?"

Contrary to whatever Celestia is trying to prove by officially making Grimlock her responsibility, Lina has basically zero regrets about bringing a talking robot dinosaur back to Alpha Tower with her like a stray puppy. She's used to Celestia by now, and she's pretty sure she's being taught some kind of lesson, but Lina totally has this on lock. As long as she can still trounce Grimlock in a fight -- and that's not changing any time soon -- he's totally under her control! He really is like a puppy in a lot of ways, actually, just…a giant metal fire-breathing puppy. Lina's just that cool.

She even likes Grimlock, honestly, even if she does occasionally have to Dig Volt him to keep him away from her food, but a girl can't be expected to watch her pet robot dinosaur all the time, can she? Lina has heroics and all that stuff to be doing! Plus, a girl needs time for her hobbies. Lina's enjoying a nice leisurely flight about L.A., keeping a casual eye out for any low-level minion activity she might be able to blow some steam off on. She catches sight of Celestia and Grimlock from above -- kind of hard to miss them, between Grimlock's bulk and Celestia's ridiculous hair -- and swoops through the air down toward them.

"Celestia! Hey!" Lina grins cheerfully and lands with a light step on Grimlock's head, crouching to give his snout a pat. "And how's my fire-breathing weapon of mass destruction doing, huh?"

Whoa. Everytime Verity thinks she's just starting to get used to the crazy junk you see in LA - what with all the giant robot people, and superheroes, and aliens - she goes to the park and stumbles on something new. Like, seriously, it's actually a little ridiculous how often you see some fresh new oddity in this city.

Normally she wouldn't get too involved - best not to get wrapped up in some Weird phenomenon or someone else's business when it would only mean trouble for her....but there's something about a giant metal DINOSAUR though, that you just can't ignore. Nevermind the woman with it, whom Verity is only casually familiar with, but she pays enough attention to the newstands to know who Queen Celestia is at least in passing.

Trying not to seem like an over-eager kid Verity sidles up near the pair as they are making their rounds, her hands in her pockets, looking like she's just out for a regular stroll. Play it cool.

"Hey. That uh...that YOUR metal dino?" she asks the woman, trying to sound as casual as possible, but actually pretty excited and impressed by them both.

It's nice that there isn't really much of a concern anymore about staying in hiding, and that the Cybertronians don't HAVE to be in disguise all the time - it's nice to be able to explore the city and not worry about transforming or maintaining a holo-matter avatar. Being in their natural state tends to make their cultural faux pas a little more expected as well - something that Rodimus has found to be very helpful.

What's not so nice, is Ultra Magnus lurking in the distance while you're trying to enjoy the nice, ultra violet radiation on a nice, not that awful, not really, planet in a nice park full of interesting things and individuals. But Rodimus isn't about to complain - he's just happy to be out and about for a little while, and ignoring impulses to ditch Magnus and go for a spin around the city, he's actually legitimately enjoying the park - for now. He would honestly probably already be over and done with it, if not for catching sight of something he hasn't seen yet on this planet. Without any hesitation Rodimus approaches the human with ridiculous hair and the unknown white creature with her.

"What is that?" he asks abruptly, not even bothering to strike up conversation in a more civil manner.

Rotorstorm’s heard of Celestia, of course. She makes it a point to be ‘in the know’ for anyone who’s important, especially anyone she actually has a chance of running into. But until now, she’d always been skeptical about the hair. Even though she’s seen pictures. Even though everyone she knows insists that it’s the real deal. But nope, there it is - pastel rainbow and all. And the worst part? Celestia actually makes it work somehow.

If anything, she’s having a harder time believing the horse is real, even though it’s only a few feet in front of her. It just…it looks more like a painting of one. By someone who reaaalllly likes horses.

Either way, Rotorstorm figures it couldn’t hurt to introduce herself while she has the chance, and walks straight up to them both – giving a little wave with her hand. “Hey. Celestia? Don’t think we’ve met before, I’m new…ish at CONDOR.”
