Not The One That's So Absurd...

"Sweet, it'll be a blast. Can't beat a live show and it sounds like we both could use it as a better hobby." From their short meeting, Madison seems like a fun girl to be around. And one could always enjoy things better in good company. After a couple drinks she seems raring to go.

Grabbing a napkin, Konrad grabs a pen from his pocket and jots down his number for her. "So I don't forget later," he says, handing it to her. "Hey, think you're ready to hit the dance floor now?"

Konrad proceeds to finish off his drink and set it down hard on the bar, shaking himself at the rush of bitterness and warmth.

Her eyes light up, “Great! I can’t wait!” she exclaims, obviously excited. “And yeah, I’ve been told my hobbies are dangerous, so a new one will be great.” She says with a laugh.

Blue eyes watch him write down his number, and she accept it with a smile. Fingers take the pen from his hand and she returns the favor, writing her number on a napkin. “And here is mine.”

At the mention of dancing, she finishes off her drink and pushes her self off the bar, “Thought you’d never ask!”

"Ooo, a risk-taker. Something tell me that costume suits you better than I know," he remarks as he takes the counter-offered number.

He offers his hand to her to guide her through the crowd to the dance floor, searching for a spot clear enough to accommodate the two of them, though he didn't mind getting too close either. Whether by his hand or not, once there he starts to groove himself to the music, confidently nodding his head to the beat and shifting hips and throwing his arms up in the air. Though he might look ridiculous in his bunny costume he seems to tear up the floor just fine. Could it be from some source of enthusiasm? Either way he looks quite comfortable, a smirk ever-present on his features as he keeps his eyes on Madison.

Dancing, 3suxx

"The future, truth be told, is of little interest to me. What I'm more curious about, though it is doubtlessly far less -- interesting, shall we say, is your past. Being your friend, after all, it is only fitting that I know something about you. Tell me enough to sate my curiosity and I shall grant your request," Josephine deigned to reply, setting her drink aside, untouched, her hands falling together before her, her fingers idly fondly the cross upon her fingers.

Finn shared the woman's laugh, shaking his head slightly. "Ninja by night, I like that. Sounds like the world's sneakiest delivery company. Ninja By Night: Never miss a delivery, because we always know when you're home." When she answers his joke with one of his own, he can only give a good-natured shrug. "Ahh, well, the jokes on you then. I'm actually from New York City..."

He gives Lisa a playful wink, and was about to order another drink, when she mentions dancing. "I've been known to cut a rug from time to time. If all parties are willing?" Another playful wink, and he holds his hand out to Lisa. He slides off the stool and was about to lead the woman to the dance floor, when he catches the tail end of the butterfly's performance. The only answer Finn's mind can formulate is a long, low whistle. He turns back to Lisa, the playful smile gone, replaced by a earnest honesty.

"Okay, let me rephrase. I can dance, but I can't do that..." There's a slight pause in his speech as he points towards the butterfly and newsboy. "And if you can, I think I'll save us both the embarrassment and stay right here and keep drinking..."

A sly smile spreads across her lips at his comment, “You have no idea.” She replies.

With a wide smile she accepts his hand and lets him lead her through the crowd. When he finds a spot, she can’t help but smile as he begins to dance, he was pretty good. She briefly closes her eyes and begins to feel the beat of the music moving through her, allowing it to guide her body. Her eyes open as her body moves, hips swinging with confidence. Her blue eyes sparkle mischievously as she meets his eyes. It felt good to let go for the night, no Awakened politics, no magic, just two people having fun.

Terri's eyes look on curiously when Lucy mentions ballet. "I've never had any formal dance training myself but I used to be a personal trainer which included aerobics and other dance-based classes. I've always admired dancers; the strength and grave they possess in their bodies is utterly spellbinding."

Taking another sip of her wine, Terri's attention drifted towards te dance floor as she became mesmerised by the way Sasha moved.

"Wow," she gasped, staring at how good they both were.

As they came together, the dance became more unforgiving; to move in harmony, hip to hip, pressed against one another. Without having practiced, it was as difficult of a dance as any he'd ever done.

Fortunately, he'd had a wonderful teacher, and gave a respectable accounting of himself.

This close, crushing her dress, and close enough to feel one another's breath as they moved together, the only detail that kept the word 'suggestive' relevant was that they were both still clothed. The excitement of the moment was intoxicating, and the moment became a song, then another, and then a third.

His hands remained polite the entire time. His eyes did not.

1 Success turned that dial allllll the way up!

The stranger’s hands were impressive. Not because what they were doing, but what they weren’t doing; groping her in every which way but Sunday. They were also placed appropriately, for the most part; so very fervid to her.

L’aire’s violet eyes did nothing to keep from how titillated she was. The stranger, the dance, the way he moved with her… and his breath on her skin. She moved her hand slightly more up his shoulder as the gap between them nearly closed, letting the bass flow through them both.

The Fairest took a queue from the way his eyes were. Her leg slid up the side of his thigh with the music, her body required no balance still remaining pressed into him. She was mercurial against mystery man, ready for anything.

Huh? He wonders why she doesn't want her fortune read, decides it must be that she's nervous about their dance. Nobody had ever asked him about his past before. Come to think of it, nobody had agreed to dance with him before either . . . he better get this right, or he'd kick himself forever . . . if his legs could reach.

"Hmm, my past. Where to begin? The beginning? My birth weight was 27 pounds. New Orleans, you see? Beignets. Maybe that's too far back. I reached my full height at age 8. No, still to far." This is harder than he thought it would be.

"Um . . . I failed out acting school. Too lazy to attend. Spent too much time at Voodoo museums. Did some work palm reading until I hitched my wagon to a traveling Renaissance fair. Started in a fencing act but quickly found I was better at being o-fence-ive, so I started up an insult booth. Basically, I'd say mean things to passersby and the charge them to throw tomatoes at me. Made a fortune until I pissed of a baseball players wife. All the money went to paying off medical bills. Coma, or whatever. Now I gamble away my street performance earnings playing Mah-Jong in the back of a laundromat. How about yourself? What's in your past?"

He could feel a dance coming on.
