First Message:   Swerve's *glowed with the colorful canisters of engex lining the back of the canteen. It's namesake was absentmindedly polishing a glass behind the bar, Ratchet in deep conversation with the exuberant bartender. The medical officer had no drink of his own, casually leaned against the bar top, his usual stern expression relaxed as he gossiped with Swerve.* *Trailcutter sat in a barstool at the other end, silently chugging down another glass of engex. The big mech swayed in his seat, glowing pink drink dripping down his chin. Red Alert was hunched beside him, optics darting around suspiciously. His own drink was untouched, clutched tightly in his servo.* *Chromedome and Rewind were huddled together in one of the right side booths, servos intertwined on the table. Their helms were nearly touching as they spoke lowly with one another. Tailgate was sat across them in the booth. But his attention seemed to be elsewhere, leaning out of his seat to peer down the other booths at a certain seeker.* *Cyclonus sat alone, optics overcast as his own square glass glowed in front of him. His back was to most of the bar, a brooding aura surrounding him that prompted a wide berth to anyone passing.* *Whirl was on the other side of the canteen, pedes thrown up on the table. He held a freshly emptied glass between his pincers, attempting to balance it on the tower he had created. His optic was squinted, probably the most determined he'd ever been.*
