3 Kazoo - Adult Ballroom Social and Epic Kids' Game Night

Who: Everyone
Where: Wardrobe, Gym Car, Music Car, Games Car
When: 3 Kazoo, Evening
What: The much-awaited-and-discussed Adult Ballroom Social (and children's side event)
Warnings: None

You've seen the flyers. You've heard the announcements. You've ordered additional party reinforcements if you wanted them. Some of you have even helped her to prepare. And now it's finally here - the Adult Ballroom Social that she's been planning these many, many week-and-a-half.

But you wouldn't know it only took that long to throw it together. She's gone all out for this one. Including the wardrobe that's been opened up, there are four cars that have been set aside for tonight. The main ballroom floor is in the non-training gym, which has been cleared and decorated for the occasion. The music is being piped in from the music car, where it's still playing for those who would prefer a more intimate and private setting. Meanwhile, the game room has been set out for the kids who would otherwise be left out of this adult and near-adult event.

"Will do. And can't imagine why. You're such a charmer." Is she teasing him? Maybe. Probably, as she takes his hand, hoping she won't make a fool of herself.

"Well, I'm so charmin' I'm just downright unapproachable. This angel face? Who could stand it."

He gives her one of his dumb shark smiles before leading her out onto the floor and puts his other hand on her side.

"Also if you step on my feet I won't take it personal."

"I appreciate that. I'll try hard not to." Raven replied, moving one hand to his shoulder, and one to hold her cloak and dress slightly. "I've absolutely seen worse faces. Including on humans wearing mohawks not nearly as well as you with your fin."

He chuckles at that, which has the added effect of showing off that shark smile. Complete with his oh-so-classy gold teeth. But he does think his face adds character, just sometimes, you know... He likes to imagine what it would have been like to be someone important, someone respected, someone that was treated fairly without the reminders of the times they weren't.

"When my natural fin got removed? The first cybernetic one I had was made short so I could wear Kree armor. This is more like the one I woulda had if it was the real thing... Made better too. Maybe I won't have to get shot in the head and get it tested."

He starts out with smaller steps so he can get a feel for how she's going to move, keeping some space between their feet.

"I'll try not to look down, though. Might hit ya in the head with it." He knows that suddenly being taller is kind of funny.

That brings another soft laugh from her, and she moves with him surprisingly well. Raven was a fighter, even if she tended to be pacifistic by nature. "Let's hope no one shoots you in the head." Raven responded, amusement in her tone. "You make it sound like a common occurrence."

"It only happened the once, but that kind of thing is memorable."

Once he sees that they can keep pace, he settles into a comfortable rhythm with the music.

"So you got some pals back home, huh? Tell me about 'em?"

"I lived in Jump City, on the West Coast of the United States of America, on Earth. Once I left Azarath, the dimension I was raised on, anyways. I worked with 4 other teens as part of a super-hero group. Everyone but myself and Starfire, that's the Tameranian I told you about, were from Earth otherwise. But Cyborg was half-robot, with artificial limbs and tech integrated into him. Beast Boy was green, and could shapeshift into any animal he wanted. He was also a vegetarian because of that. Only Robin would be considered 'normal' I guess--and he wasn't really. He was a genius detective and skilled acrobat, dedicated to protecting people and his team."

So she was a part of a team. Maybe they're worried about her, still. She seems too smart to make the mistakes that he made.

"Sound like good people to work with. Nice wide skillset."

He lifts his hand to let her spin, just so she can have a moment of showing off her nice dress, and then pulls her back in.

"I knew some green shape-shifters too. Weren't on my team but they're good company. Called 'Skrulls'. They can be absolute little shits, though."

Spin she does, cloak and dress swirling out around her. It might've even brought a soft chuckle too. "Oh so can Beast Boy. He and Cyborg made up a game once called Stankball. Wanted me to referee. I think they were just looking for an excuse to not do laundry, personally. They NEEDED to do the laundry."

He snorts.

"Alright, referee. Who won?"

He's pretty sure his crew had played similar games. And he'd just let it happen. Whatever they needed to do to entertain themselves that wasn't harmful.

"It took some persuading, for me to referee. I'm pretty sure in the end, I won, though. They haven't played it, or asked me to referee since." Raven has a hint of smirk on her face. Honestly it was amazing that the 5 teens hadn't gotten into more trouble at home.

"I figured you'd say that." And he outright laughs with that. "You know, I know they ain't here, but I've talked to enough of these people to know that some of them might one day need you to keep them from playin' stankball. Laundry team be damned."

He is on laundry team this month actually and he has not given the slightest of shits.

"Ask me about the flu outbreak on this train sometime." Raven responded, still with that hint of smirk. "We were smaller then, but it got bad, quickly."

"I bet it was somethin'. There were times my boy caught some space viruses he wasn't set up for... Shit, I've never had a Terran flu."

If that happens again, it'll probably kick his ass.

Okay maybe he should actually help with the laundry so he doesn't end up dead.
azrthmtrnznthos: (If you say so)

"Mostly it was infected people not staying quarantined, or insisting they were fine. We're all in very close quarters here, after all." Raven was still kind of miffed about it. At least she'd managed to stave off the flu herself until everyone ELSE was well.

"Not to mention I know what it's like when a bunch of y'all sleep together. Like... right now? There's four bunks in a room. But back on the Eclector we got so paranoid about being raided after some bad shit went down we pretty much took to all sleepin' in the same area." Which was great for safety but ass when one of them took sick.

"On the funny side you ended up with a bunch of scarred up tough guys that weren't afraid to use each other as pillows." And that he knows is a little bit funny.

"That is a little funny." Raven agreed. "But yes, you can imagine then how a virus ran rampant for a bit."
