◗ 001 VIDEO → VOICE

[Olivia is looking very uncomfortable on the screen, not even making eye contact with it. She looks like she wants to say something, but she doesn't. It takes a few more seconds for her to start speaking.]

I, I was wondering if... [Oh no it's too much. Think of all the people that are watching her! She ends up covering the camera, so only her voice can be heard now.] I'm sorry, but I was wondering if anyone here likes to dance? I'm not very good, but maybe practicing together will help with the, umm... touching we have to do.

[There's an awkward pause before she speaks again, and it's much faster.] I have something to do I should go now!

Well, I've never done it before. But I'd love to learn.

Do you mean dancing?

[Hey this sounds a whole lot better than standing around and holding hands.] I know several types of classic and traditional dance. Do you have a preference?

Not really. I like learning new styles of dancing, though. What style do you prefer?

Oh is this... [Now she's even more embarrassed!!]

Well, um... yes. I'm sorry.

I'm pretty good at the electric slide.

[His attempt at a joke. She looks so uncomfortable. ):]

Edited 2013-06-19 23:48 (UTC)

The what? I'm sorry, I haven't heard of that, but if it isn't too hard, I wouldn't mind trying to learn it.

You're better than you think, you know.

[Severa's face isn't as sour as usual but really- it'd be like kicking a puppy.]

I'll come and watch, if you don't mind. I don't think dancing's really for me.

I am? [Oh gosh if she only remembered you it would put her at ease.] So you've seen me dance? [She mutters to herself about how embarrassing that is.]

I think dancing can be for everyone. Maybe you just need to find the right style for you.

...I don't mind dancing, but I'm afraid I'm only familiar with ballroom dancing.

[like waltzing, sometimes the polka, etc, etc; it's definitely a good way to fill the touching quota up - that's for sure. it's not really a way he minds, either, looking at neutral as he feels.]

Oh... that's fine. I'm familiar with more formal dances, too, and getting practice in never hurts.

Dancing is great!

[Oh so enthusiastic! It makes her laugh a little.]

I'm probably not familiar with the kind of dancing you are, but I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

Learning new types of dance styles is something I like to do. Maybe we can teach each other something.

"Of course! Who doesn't like dancing?"

[The answer of course are people who are against laughter, joy, fun, puppies and kittens. Thus, people that M'gann has no interest in associating with.

She keeps her reply to voice for now, after seeing that broadcast. It also means she can switch freely between forms without worrying too much; at the moment her skin settles on Caucasian, and she switches into her favorite cheer leading outfit from Hello, Megan!]

"Actually I'm really goo-"

[Scratch that. She remembers some of her less then stellar practices.]

"I'm pretty good at cheer leading! Does that sound like something interesting? That and dancing has a bit in common."

Dancing isn't for everyone, but watching it seems to make most people happy. [She lets out a gentle laugh.]

Cheerleading? Is that a type of dancing?

[Waver considers not replying at all, but curiosity gets the better of him in the end. And so the voice that responds is shy, hesitant, and only slightly embarrassed.]

What sort of dancing?

Um, well... I know a few kinds. Some more formal, some just made for a single person, some for more than one...

I like to dance!

_{[Nice to talk about something other than being kidnapped and dragged into another world for a change.]}

Are you looking for a dance partner or a teacher? I know a lot a types from over the years. What type of dancing were you hoping to do?

Well, I think a partner and teacher, when it comes to dancing, it's one in the same, isn't it? I mean, practicing dancing with someone, you always learn things from your partner and help them, too.

Umm... well, any dance. I really enjoy learning new ones. Is there one you really like that is local to your hometown?
