Paper Faces on Parade

[happysweets]

[ Okay, so, assuming everyone got a crossword and an invite on Tuesday, one would assume that pretty much everyone knows that Misa's planning something. A sign on the door of the music room will indicate as much, a nice big "KEEP OUT PLEASE ♥" to make sure everything's set up just right before the festivities start. The tables are set up just right for snacks and all, the stage is set, the room is even decorated with hand-made streamers and lots of bright ribbons from the art room! When Misa goes hard, she goes hard, apparently. The floor isn't exactly a dance floor, but it should be nice enough that people can dance if they want to, and though she had a really hard time pushing everything around to make the perfect amount of space, it looks like it's about as good as it's going to get.

The guests'll be happy to know there aren't any penalty snacks this time around; nothing set out on the table looks gross or horribly out of place like at Truth or Dare. Everything looks pretty cute, actually; between the desserts and the actual cocktails set out, she and Aqua kind of outdid themselves in terms of meal planning. As for the host herself, she'll obviously be running around too, making sure everything's going okay; one would think that between prepping the food and the party itself, she wouldn't have much time to get herself all dolled up, but a model always has to look her best! And Misa certainly isn't giving anything less than 110 percent, between her short black dress and her ma-- jesus Misa save some glitter for everyone else

In any case, the party is definitely intended to be a late-night affair! And all are welcome, so feel free to come in and dance the night away! Misa even has a bunch of masks in different colors made for people who didn't have time to make one themselves, so don't be shy to grab one and have fun! ]

[As Klinklang whirs excitedly from being able to pull it off, Colress claps for the same reason! Dang, they actually did it!]

Bravo! At this rate, you two will be an unstoppable force on the dance floor.

[Cherryblod's dancing with a Pokemon, no one can beat that!!]

[cherryblooded]

[Aww, how kind. Cherryblod takes a bow.]

I hope you were paying attention for when it's your turn, Colress.

[pokexplorer]

O-Oh, haha! Do not fret about me, I simply couldn't take my eyes off of you two! I was most certainly paying attention.

[This, said in the tone of someone who completely forgot they'd have to go through the motions as well.]

[cherryblooded]

Excellent, then I won't have to explain anything to you.

[He knows he wasn't actually memorizing the steps.]

[pokexplorer]

Of course not! It will go absolutely as smoothly as your dance with Klinklang just now.

[He's gonna step all over Cherryblod's feet.]

[cherryblooded]

Great, then it's your turn.

[Let's do this.]

[pokexplorer]

[Hahaha this is fine, nothing will go wrong at all!!

Klinklang gives a quick whirring sound of thanks for the dance before bowing out for its Trainer to take its place. Colress remains completely calm...but internally he's freaking out a bit.

Yes, him, a confident and serious scientist. Freaking out about dancing.]

I am ready on your mark.

[cherryblooded]

[Cherryblod puts their hands into the right positions - one thing he didn't have to worry about with Klinklang - before giving Colress a nod.]

Here we go.

[Left foot forward.]

[pokexplorer]

[This is so weird to him...he's never actually danced like this before. Who needs dancing when you have Science!!, all of that jazz.

But he actually does remember the first couple steps, so thankfully he's not an embarrassment right off the bat. Right foot back!]

[cherryblooded]

[Oh good, he'd hate for Colress to immediately suck at this. He can keep up the illusion of having been paying attention for at least two steps.

Right foot diagonal.]

[pokexplorer]

[This would be...left foot back, Colress thinks.

However, he makes a similar mistake to Klinklang here, accidentally moving into the next step before each of their feet come together.]

[cherryblooded]

[Naturally, Cherryblod stumbles a little when he does that. But it's an easy mistake to make.]

Feet together first, Colress. You're not floating.

[pokexplorer]

[fffff--

Colress comes screeching to a halt when he realizes his mistake.]

Ahhh... My apologies. How embarrassing for me to slip up like that, after watching you go through it twice...!

[And that's legit too, he looks pretty mortified.]

[cherryblooded]

[He's easily embarrassed, apparently - or Cherryblod just doesn't think there's all that much to be mortified about.]

That's alright, hardly anyone gets everything right on the first try. Shall we take it from the top?

[pokexplorer]

[No it's...probably a bit of both, maybe.

That said though, Colress nods.]

I think that may be wise. And...I appreciate the vote of confidence. I vow to do it correctly this time!

[cherryblooded]

[...Someone is going to find Colress really cute someday.]

You're doing well for a beginner, don't worry. Let's start.

[Left foot forward, again.]

[pokexplorer]

[ffff]

You are too kind, Cherryblod.

[And with another nod, it's time for right foot back!!]

[cherryblooded]

Not at all.

[Good job!! Cherryblod moves into the next step, right foot diagonal.]

[pokexplorer]

[Left foot back! And feet together this time!! Must not forget that.]

[cherryblooded]

Good, very good.

[Right foot back now.]
