Hacking #15: Dancing

[technologic]

Characters: April and Aleph
Setting: Floor 28 (Locked to Aleph).
Format: Brackets to start with, but I can match you!
Summary: The married couple decide to spend some time relaxing together after that last event.

[After the last event, some time to relax was pretty much necessary. April had pretty much spent the reminder of August in a state of guarded stress, since even though she didn't die, she came incredibly close to it.

Luckily, relaxing was easy when she did it with Aleph. And they had a few things that they could do together, one of which is dancing, which is why they are now arriving at the music room.]

Um... Is there anything specific you want to dance to?

[alephbet]

It's not really dance-y music, is it.

[technologic]

Not really, though I don't think a lot of love songs are. Unless, they're about, y'know... [Insert vague hand gestures here.]

[alephbet]

[Repeated hand gestures here.]

[technologic]

[Pausing with hand gestures, and then turning to pout at the floor.] W-well, you know what I mean.

[alephbet]

...I don't?

[technologic]

Eh, y-you don't?

[alephbet]

No, not really.

[technologic]

[Ffffffff-] I-I was trying to say that love songs aren't very, um, dancey unless they're about... Uh, s-sleeping with someone...

[alephbet]

Oh. Those were really vague hand gestures.

[technologic]

I'm not sure what would be a good hand gesture for 't-that'...

[alephbet]

[He tries making a circle with his fingers and putting another finger through the circle.]

[technologic]

[ASDLDLFKLGKH- So horribly red now.] B-b-b-besides that!

[alephbet]

Well it would work.

[How vague is too vague?]

[technologic]

I-it would, but it's... [Waving her hands as she turns even more red.]

... A-anyway, I stand by what I said earlier about love songs and stuff.

[alephbet]

We can improvise a dance.

[technologic]

Huh, improvise a dance?

[alephbet]

Sure. You don't have to know what you're doing to dance.

[technologic]

Um, uh... I-I still don't think I'll be much good at that, t-though...

[alephbet]

Practice helps.

[technologic]

... W-will you help me practice?

[alephbet]

Of course I will. Why wouldn't I?

[technologic]

[... Give her a few moments to think up a reason.] ... B-because I'm still kinda b-bad at dancing?

[alephbet]

Don't care.

[technologic]

... I-I can't think of any other reasons why you wouldn't, so, um, thank you... I-I promise I'll be a good dancing partner one day.

[alephbet]

I already have fun with you, what else do you need?
