[Ryouta waits for him to get closer and then reaches out for one of Nageki's hands. The music from the gym has quieted somewhat, and a new song has started up.] No problem.

[ His expression mocks hurt, although when he speaks he's just a little bit serious. ]

Mister Lalonde's technique of scaring away ladies is something I wish never to learn.

[ A pause. ]

Rosie, you're far too dazzling to be a wallflower. Come on; just one dance couldn't hurt.

[ Naruto takes a hurried glance down every once in a while as well, wanting to make sure his feet moved appropriately. He is a master of narrowly avoiding disaster!

... and also running right into it, as he proves by stepping on Sakura's foot at his first given opportunity. He winces. ]

Ah, sorry about that, Sakura-chan. And I kinda' thought there'd be more people, I guess. Still cool seeing everyone together like this, though, right?

fhgjfkd way to be a bro there dave

[restitchtime]

[she rolls her eyes a little at that. Rose puts as much stock in Dave's compliments as she does John's, but...]

Will it get you off my back for the rest of the night if I say yes?

dave means it in the most broest way possible.

[ His face lights up like a tree on Christmas day, and he bows. ]

You have my word, milady.

lsp you're looking lumping fabulous as usual~

[enchiridion]

Dancing? [ His arms wiggle a little, still awkwardly extended, and he shifts his weight from one foot to the other with the music. ] With you?

[ This is what you do at the weekly promcoming dance, LSP! Jake told him so. Finn did not misread his cues! ]

buffy anne summers. ♔ buffy the vampire slayer.

[defending]

i'm sure he does.

[restitchtime]

[jesus christ why does she always get dragged into this shit]

Fine. But you try and weasel anything else out of me and I'm drowning you in the punch bowl.

[vinovidivici]

Is that right? [ There's now a hand placed flat below your shoulder blades. If you're going to have him dance then Claire's going to be the one leading. The smile is still erring on the amused side of predatory: lucky for you he's developed a thick skin about being mistaken for a woman. ] You're actually not wrong about that, but normally people don't make that mistake without knowing my name.

[ As he's finishing talking Claire taps his thumb lightly against Howl's knuckles to the beat of the music - one, two, three, four - and steps forward with his right foot. ]

john knows he means no harm!

[cuttingspace]

[ He chuckles and nods, pulling Rose closer to the dance floor. ]

I wouldn't dream of it.

that's because nothing offends john ever

[restitchtime]

Right, of course not. [she follows, casting a wary glance at the other people around her. god this was such a stupid idea, why did she even come? she hates shit like this.]

[The untranslatable muffled reply caused Barnaby to take a small step back, partially due to his surprise and partially due to disgust. He didn't have the time to look but he hoped that even if 1% of the food in Kotetsu's mouth hadn't stayed there when he'd spoken, then it at least was currently not on his clothing. The shoes were a questionable sacrifice, seeing as they had already been dealt with an unsightly fate a few minutes ago. He could have easily taken the time to berate his partner's lack of manners, even get him a napkin to first take care of himself and then whatever mess Kotetsu had left behind, but that required more time than he had left at this point and this was not a time for words anyway. Barnaby only needed action, and so with a shake of his head and a sigh he removed his hand from Kotetsu's shoulder only to try and remove the plate of food (why had he put so many? He didn't intend to eat all of it in one go did he? This mixture of textures and flavors couldn't possibly be appetizing) from his hands.]

It doesn't matter, you'll do just fine. If you're concerned about missing out on the food I'll pay the caterers myself to make another batch of everything when we're done. [His shoulders tensed as part of the orchestra began to warm up. He could hear strings plucked, then the stray keys of a piano, a horn played a sharp that was too sharp and all through it the heels kept a steady and quick rhythm. Barnaby could feel a suspicious burning heat on his back which meant that woman was getting closer, ready for the kill. Barnaby had never begged for anything, because he does not beg, and so he would not beg. But right now? The look that he was pinning Kotetsu down with? He was clearly begging. Please save him, please.]

Please?

[ He sets his free hand just above Rose's waist; he doesn't care much for the people around them, and it's clear from the way he seems to only be concentrating on his sister. What a creep. ]

Have you ever danced the foxtrot?

[Regent's granddaughter or not, Re-l always feels uncomfortable in formal wear.

When she was younger, she used to wear skirts. She was often complimented on them, too, and she didn't mind their feel or wear. But as she grew older and as her responsibilities changed. It became clearer to her that her role in society was to be impressive, to be the outstanding citizen she was, and to make a grand show of her birthright and her standing. She despised the idea. The very few formal events she attended back home were close to torture. She could look and act the part, but everyone's eyes were on her and she hated it.

Here, things have changed, but not by much. She still dresses well to make a good impression and though there is much less to be expected from her, she still doesn't like to parade around in dresses or formal wear. One thing that remains, though, is her love of dancing, no matter how simple or foolish. It's one of the few joys she indulges in and only every now and again.

Her usual friends aren't here but Kotetsu is. He'll do. Maybe it'll even distract him, as he looks fairly out of place as well.

Dressed in a dark blue dress to match her eyes, Re-l goes to his side and touches his arm.]

Not really enjoying yourself, are you?

[IN GAME VERSE BLAH BLAH]

[Garrus is just entering their living room, holding something small in one of his hands]

Hey, Shepard. Got a moment?

except rose. as usual.

[restitchtime]

[Rose's experience with dancing has been limited to the lindy step and Charleston moves the old ladies in her apartment complex used to show her. she shakes her head, but for once doesn't seem too concerned. she knows she's a fast learner.]

No, but I bet I can keep up anyway.

[reigninginstars]

[Shepard perks up and glances over towards Garrus.]

Yeah, what's up?

[ladygrit]

[calibrating]

Well, I was just thinking about a few things... and it occurred to me that you really can't dance.

I mean, not even if your life depended on it.

[reigninginstars]

[Her brows furrow and she crosses her arms over her chest.]

Garrus, I'm not that bad.

[Keep telling yourself that, Jane.]
