This is QUITE different from ballroom. How about you go first and show me an example?

[outrageon]

Oh, come onnn, you can put it on easy mode!

[sluuuurp]

I won't even make fun of you if you mess up. You've got like, a handicap.

Fewer years with legs.

[tothosewhobait]

...you...DO know how to play, right?

[outrageon]

Of couuurse.

[She slaps the machine a few times with her too-soft hand.]

Come onnnnn I'll even let you pick the song!

[tothosewhobait]

So, you don't know how to play then.

[Stepping onto the dance pad]

[outrageon]

Oh, I know how to play.

[stepping along with him, putting her almost-finished coffee on the game stand, and slapping quarters in that bitch, patting the buttons fast until she gets her preferred settings.]

Go ahead, pick your level and your difficulty and let's goooooo.

[tothosewhobait]

[Will select and easier mode to start, scanning their surroundings to make sure no one is watching them before locking in]

[outrageon]

[To her credit, Velvet doesn't even look amused when he picks easy. She just stretches in place and waits for the round to start. It counts off the rhythm and then the intro to the music plays— but since Velvet chose a higher difficulty, more arrows appear for her and start a beat or two earlier.

She just grins, heavy shoes clomping on the pad when she starts stomping to the beat.]

[tothosewhobait]

[Starts out slow, just getting a feel for how the game is supposed to go, glancing over now and then at what Velvet is doing]

[outrageon]

[Velvet is pretty enraptured by the game, grinning wide with those sharp teeth and stomping on those buttons with ease. She looks over at Azul expectantly though, as if to say, Fun, right? Right??]

[tothosewhobait]

[Smiles, just a little, back at her before turning his attention back to the game. There is no flair since he's just getting used to it, but he does have a good sense of timing...of course]

[outrageon]

[Score! Smiling means she is doing this social interaction right! Which she is not surprised by because she is clearly amazing and fun and cool! She can get back to dancing confidently.]

[tothosewhobait]

You're not half bad at this.

[outrageon]

You could even say I'm great at it.

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you said so~

[tothosewhobait]

Very well then... You are rather great at this.

[outrageon]

[Ah, happy little mink chitters.]

I knew you'd recognize my greatness eventually~

[tothosewhobait]

I think I will go ahead and try a harder level next.

[outrageon]

[slamming another credit in while making over-eager eye contact]

Let's go, fish-boy!

[tothosewhobait]

Careful or I might make you regret it. I am quite the quick learner, you know.

[outrageon]

Don't threaten me with a good time.

[She pads through to another song—]

Having a challenge just makes a better winner~

[tothosewhobait]

Competing a guy who only got his legs two years ago… Isn’t that a cheap victory?

[Locking in on his settings]

[outrageon]

And you're on an easier mode.

[In a sing-song voice]

A cheap win still feels like a win, though~

[tothosewhobait]

[He would mention that it sounds like she must not win very often, but he is trying to be nice so he will let that observation go]

You had better win then after all this talk.

[outrageon]

[dont think too hard about it azul or this only-months-long charade becomes incredibly clear

slamming the start button]

Good thing I never lose.

[tothosewhobait]

Careful saying things like that. Someone may get it in their head to make sure you do.

[Not going to cheat and use his tentacles, but it does seem like the faster speed is easier for him]
