002 ⇨ do a little dance, get damned tonight

video ⇨ public

[Mae's face smiles slightly at the camera before she sets it down on a solid surface. Behind her, the City Square. She has her hands on her hips and facing the camera with a little grin-smirk.]

Just so you know, Tavi - at least when I'm dared to dance, I don't do it hidden. [She takes a deep breath.] Well then. Pretend there's music.

[And then she closes her eyes, and starts to sway. In her head, there's music, and it moves her hips in an undulating movement, and makes her arm raise to the sky. It starts as rave music, loud and full of drums.

And then it slowly evolves. Turns quieter, then harder, more drums, a piper here and there - and the steps feel familiar; Mae is following them inadvertently, as if she'd had them memorized. Summoning demons with no circle. She's taking the third step, her arms raised to her sides, head thrown back, hair waving in the breeze, when she notices what she's dancing. Her eyes snap open, a small moment of panic, checking for - a voice, an evil laugh, a crawling sensation up her skin - something. When she doesn't find it, her shoulders slump, and she stops. Turns back to the camera, a little more serious, and picks it up.]
There's your dance. In front of the Square.

[And turns the connection off.]

[ooc; Octavian dared her to dance in the Square. She'll take a while to answer, until she recomposes herself. Action and video are cool.]

That was soon.

Yours was considerably better than mine, too.

[And because he's perceptive, damn him.] What was it you were dancing?

A dance I can't teach you.

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
But - Thank you. I couldn't agree, since you did not let me see your dancing.

[identity profile] gaiustavarus.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It might be better that way. [Leaving it open on purpose what he's referring to.]



(ooc; psst, it's Octavian!)

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

So, I expect you to realize that I was serious about forgetting your embarassment.

[ooc;....herpaderp.]

I will have to mentally prepare myself for our dancing lessons, then.

[ooc; <3]

Don't treat it as a battle.

[identity profile] gaiustavarus.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
That might require even more of a shift of mind.

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Treat it as worse.

[identity profile] gaiustavarus.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
That, I can do.

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you have any luck with the job?

[identity profile] veritaphobia.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think anyone's going to need to pretend.

[He can tell what it is she just started to dance, can't he?]

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you saying you hear music when I dance?

[identity profile] gaiustavarus.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm trying to decide what I would like to do.

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you have offers?

[identity profile] gaiustavarus.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I have ideas and suggestions. The police, the library, the academy.

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
What would you like best?

[identity profile] gaiustavarus.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
They all suit me one way or another.

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
No doubt - but which would you enjoy most?

[identity profile] gaiustavarus.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I would like working in the library, I think. I don't know enough about the academy to judge, and the police force... probably fits very well with who I've become.

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
The way I'd see it - we're all trapped here or something similar, right? Why make it worse by signing up for a job you won't like?
