Mission name: Dance Dance We’re Falling Apart to Half Time Participants: Orion [learning], Serafeyna Carroll [learning] Spawning?: 3 word counts ~500, with different dances / coordinator style performances for both of them to practice together. Spawns might include the type of dance and/or a theme involved in each one. Mission details: Orion and Sera apparently need some bonding time and what better way than through dancing, apparently? Sera’s got to strengthen her coordinator agility, and Orion is working his own agility back up to his “standard” for fighting so… Here we are. New Skill: Orion: Agility Minor: Orion’s movements are light, fluid, and deceptively strong. He can get over, in, and around most obstacles, and combined with his athleticism, strength, and dexterity, he is capable of doing a good deal of parkour. It can be hard to catch him and even harder to keep ahold of him in a fight. He’s also reasonably flexible now. Sera: Agility (Minor) - Light on her feet, Sera has the skill and grace of a dancer and puts it to use on the contest stage. She is very flexible, a bit quicker to react to physical situations than the average person, and can do a handful of fancy maneuvers like cartwheels and mid-air spins without only occasional minor difficulty.
Who was this number on his phone again? Orion squinted a little knowing it was his own damn fault for not annotating it whenever he had gotten it but?? It felt vaguely important, and being a private number, it could mean a lot of different things so it was best to just confirm but?? What to even say? “Hi I don’t know who you are but your number was in my phone so—“ Hah. Well it wasn’t the strangest thing he’d ever said or written down for that matter and probably wouldn’t be the last. Flipping his phone around he started to text.
-- This is Orion Verdi-- -- I’m not sure who I’m texting but you’re in my contacts under the name S so I just wanted to confirm who you were-- -- Thanks --
Now to just sit and wait and see apparently.

Sera had recently awoken from an impromptu nap, apparently. What time was it? Not time for sleep. She barely remembered lying down, but had just enough recollection of that to be sure this was her own fault. It was kind of just a lazy day, and she'd gone from watching some old contests for inspiration to browsing the coordinator tag on tumblr to oh what was that on her dash board oh one more page and it just sort of fed the lazy feeling and... oh what a cute prompt post? Mmm what if she just... set the laptop down and closed her eyes a minute to try to visualize that better and maybe think on if she could work it into a routine and-- what did you mean it was three hours later??
Uuuugh, well... at least Niso would be home that much sooner. For now she was making a sandwich and considering starting something bigger to cook for later but ehhh sounded like a lot of effort just this moment. And oh look her buzzing phone gave her an excuse to not.
-- Now see this is no fair. -- -- Because with a setup like that I really wanna fuck with you and say something outlandish. -- -- But I'm afraid you'd just block me and then it wouldn't be any fun lol. -- -- It's Serafeyna. Niso's girlfriend and your boyfriend's bestie. :P --
(Or at least she was gonna pretend they could still call each other besties even after drifting a bit; they could count on each other when it really mattered, and that was what was important, right?)
-- How've you been~? --

Pffft. With a set up like that, Orion almost would have accepted being fucked with, but as the name came about, he was reminded that: ah yeah she was A Thing. Right right. How had he forgotten this? Maybe he’d just been too distracted lately and sort of out of it in general, heh, or maybe that was a fancy excuse.
-- Been well enough. Did Nik tell you we bought a house?--
Well that was one way to start a conversation, but he couldn’t help it. He was still a little too giddy about the entire thing.
-- Outside of that, heh, just getting ready for New Year’s among other things. --
He squinted briefly at autocorrect deciding that Years was supposed to have an apostrophe but whatever for now.
-- What are you up to? --

-- Yeah lol. --
'Lol' because what kind of question was that? Of course he'd tell her news that big. Or, well, there was also that it kind of affected her in as far as 'hey I won't be living in the same place so if you want to come see me you'll have to come to this new place and also make sure Orion's okay with it' but still. ...She was a little sad about losing the Gym honestly, she had some good memories there. But oh well.
-- Not much. Supposed to be working on some new routine stuff for my next contest but guess I took a nap instead. -- -- Just woke up a bit ago so I guess all I'm doing today is being tired and waiting for Niso to get home. -- -- Nikki there getting ready with you? --
Nik was not, in fact; Nik was hanging out with Mia right now, but was supposed to pick up a few particular drinks from Liggs to have together New Year's Eve so there was that.

Man, Orion wished he could take a nap instead— of doing basically anything else ever aside from maybe cuddling Nik or playing with Mr. Fish or— Oh, apparently there was a lot he’d prefer to do than take a nap somehow heh. Orion shook his head to clear it.
-- She’s out at the moment with the girlfriend atm--
Could he not have spared 3 letters of a name instead of tying out two whole words? Yeah probably, but here he was, heh.
-- I was mostly doing some cleaning and clearing out some things~ --
Like finally going through all his unnecessary contacts, heh.
-- So not really busy kind of just waiting for Nik to come back--

...She??? Wh-.. Er, she knew Nik had done that whole... Chroma Cookie thing, but was he-- were they-- was Nik going by female pronouns now? They-- she? hadn't said anything? B-but uh... Sera was just going to pretend she was a good friend who was in the loop about these things and follow Orion's example then.
-- Aww, what a meanie face making you do set up without her. xP -- -- Unless it's a surprise of course, then it sounds like fun. --
Huh.. It actually did sound like fun? More fun than sitting home procrastinating anyway.
-- Actually, need any help? Or... if not, wanna maybe hang out when you're done? --

Orion snorted softly, reaching up and feeling through his hair slowly. Some days it did feel like— eh, whatever. It was fine. He was sure it was fine. Yellow eyes did blink at the next message, however, and his brow quirked when he was sure it was real. Hmmm…Well, he could use the help, he guessed or just… finish up what he was doing and find something for them to do after that? Wasn’t like he entertained that much… heh… Ok, ok yeah.
-- Sure? If you want to-- -- Or if you’re practicing for a contest we could play DDR? --
That might have been in bad taste considering what he saw went into contest work, but whatever.

Sera actually snorted at the message. Of course if he made any follow-up comments that sounded like he equated DDR to real dancing, or thought that dancing was all it took to create a good performance, she'd certainly be happy to educate him on the matter. But for right now?
-- Lol! -- -- Pretty sure that was a joke but actually -- -- I've def been meaning to work on my footwork more so it might not be a bad idea. xP --
She was pretty sure Nikki didn't have a DDR mat last she heard, and probably hadn't gotten one recently with all the house costs and stuff, but did Orion maybe have one from before? Then again, coming into Nik's house when h--she wasn't home sounded kind of weird?
-- We could go to an arcade or something. --

Orion’s brow quirked a bit as the messages came through. Oh yeah? Well, it wouldn’t hurt to work on footwork too if she didn’t want to just play or— Arcade? Orion’s lips quirked up a bit too much. How long had it been since he had actually gone out to an arcade? Entirely too long was the correct answer, heh.
-- Sure, I think there’s an arcade somewhere in Pahala or maybe Sinclair--
He knew there was an ice rink in Sinclair but, heh… man actually maybe going skating wouldn’t be a bad idea – but with Nik instead. Flipping over, he checked his maps and found that there was, in fact, a water themed arcade on one of the platforms that he didn’t spend a lot of time on. Heh, well that worked, yeah? Thumbing back over, he linked the location.
-- This work? --
If it did, he’d be ready to go in just a little.

Sera looked over the link he sent. Oh?? Oh this looked so cute.
-- Yeah sure! --
It hit her now just how far away Pahala was, so she let him know she'd go ahead and fly out that way, as she generally took her Pidgeot or one of the tunnel subways to travel long distances rather than flying. (Or in this case, both, since of course subways only ran so close to Pahala.) He was to text her if he finished his work first or she text him if she arrived first, and they'd figure out an exact meeting time from there.
As Sera arrived at he arcade, she started sweeping the crowd for Orion. He was sort of hard to miss, huh? Ah! And there he was, neat? She waved as she trotted over. "Heya~!"

Orion had finished up what he was doing and then went ahead to the arcade. It was... quite an interesting place, and he loved all of the tanks and how strategically they were placed as to avoid scaring the fish with too many lights from different machines. He’d be standing at one of these tanks when Sera’s voice hit his ears. Hmmm? “Oh hey there.” Yes, he totally had remembered her name and not her face, initially but was putting the two back together quickly enough. “Did you just get here?” he grinned a bit before looking around. “They’ve got some really interesting stuff here— old school all the way on up to some virtual reality shit.” That .. also was much more expensive than the regular games, heh.

"Yeah," she answered with a quick nod. "Sorry if I kept you waiting."
As he looked around and commented, she looked with him, but answered, "Trying to get out of our arrangement already~?" She chuckled lightly. "Nah, I'm up for whatever if you just wanna hang out, honestly. But anything that can help with footwork would be preferred, whether it's DDR or one of those light up floor button games or VR or whatever~" Hm, might that sound a bit pushy? Ah.. "Like that doesn't have to be all we do, of course. Just kinda got my heart set on the idea earlier, eheh."
Now, what here might work..?

Orion snorted softly at Sera’s words. He might have said something about that had she not spoken right after. Heh. “Nah I’m with you,” was the simplest answer. He needed to work on his own— if not for contest reasons, heh.
Yellow eyes flickered around the room again, drawing in the numerous big box console type games before finally catching sight of a DDR machine off to the side. It flickered a multitude of colors and had several fast-paced words on screen including a leaderboard with someone called Dance Mastah at the top, but it was the music that was pouring out of it that caught his attention. Ah yeah, keeping up with that would be something, yeah? “How about that?” he nudged over to Sera before starting to walk that way.
Coming up to the machine, he fished out a bag of coins he’d already put about ten bucks in to get and started it up. Huh. They had quite a lot of songs now didn’t they? Looking back to Sera, Orion smirked a bit. “You good with this one?” he semi-jested semi-seriously spoke. Shakira was far from his favorite singer, but he could admit she had a good beat going in that song.

As Orion pointed out the song, Sera looked over as well. Oh~? Nice, he found the DDR! "Sure~! We'll just need--" The loud chingling sound caught her ears, and her eyes darted down to the bag he'd produced, and lit up like one of the machines. "Oh wow, somebody's really on the ball here aren't they~!" Was he always this convenient to have around?
... A thought occurred, and Sera grinned. "Starting to see what Nikki sees in you, but I gotta say, I never imagined her going for the moneybags type~" Hehehehe. Get it? money? bags? Because? ehehehe.
Ahh, but... he wanted to do this song? "Hrm... Sure, that'll work~" Once they were loaded up, she took her place on the dance pad and watched Orion do the same, testing the distance of each step. Her feet rested on the side arrow buttons rather than in the center; she'd done this a few times, but was very rusty and usually did Standard at most. "You wanna start Light and work our way up?" she asked Orion. "Or... maybe we should jump straight to Heavy~?" Probably a recipe for failure if they did, but ssshhhhh. It might be fun to humiliat themselves before taking this little endeavor too seriously~
