[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

Characters: Santana and YOU
Setting: Dorms and Floor 14 (Media room)
Format: Starting action, will match
Summary: Santana singing and dancing, gotta keep in shape!
Warnings: She's feisty?

Dorms
[Here you can find Santana singing two songs that mean very much to her and make her miss home just a bit more]

Media Room
[Here Santana pushes aside some of the couches to make use of the space. She's turned on the music and is working on her dancing, both routines for songs she's sung in Glee and routines for the Cheerios, meaning there's the occasional cartwheel, flip, and round-off.]

[Dare to intrude?]

[Protoman stares at this odd display for a time, not sure what to think of it.]

...what is this foolishness?

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

[She finishes off a round-off and and looks over at him]

Got a problem?

[sullenandroid.livejournal.com]

What is the meaning of this noise and this... Whatever you were doing?

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

Are you serious? Have you never heard music or see someone dance before? Really, I know there are some crazy people here but I thought every place would at least have this much. You poor, unfortunate soul.

[There's a pause as his gaze turns slightly toward the floor, as if he's taking a moment to recall things.]

...music. An art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, and harmony. Dance. To move one's feet or body, or both, rhythmically in a pattern of steps, especially to the accompaniment of music.

These are things that existed where I come from, but I had little time to partake of them.

[She slowly and sarcastically claps her hands]

Well thank you walking dictionary, I had forgotten the definitions of music and dance. If you spent less time reading the dictionary maybe you could have listened to music and, here's an idea, danced to it.

[His expression falls sour at that little snip. He scowls at the girl, speaking cooly and evenly.] I was not built to engage in recreational activities.

SHUT UP!

[He's not even bothering to come out of his dorm. Just gonna shout through the door.]

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

[Shouting back]

MAKE ME.

[weirderscience.livejournal.com]

FINE.

[Mao opens the door and throws one of his copies of 'The Demon's Handbook' at her.]

THERE! SHUT UP!

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

[The book hits her, good luck trying to get it back] Oh you think that's going to stop me? [she sings louder]

[weirderscience.livejournal.com]

UUUURGH.

[He actually walks out of the room now -- holding a big old sword.]

Stop doing that freaky thing with your voice! I'm trying to work in here!

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

What the fuck is that! [She points at the sword] You're insane. You wanna fight me then bring it. [all talk and no bite at this point, really who wants to fight a sword with her bare hands] And that freaky thing I do with my voice is called singing.

Do you always put on such a display?

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

[She abruptly stops and turns to face her. She's a bit startled, she didn't realize anyone was around and she got caught up in singing]

I gotta keep my voice perfect for when I get back.

[consumedpast.livejournal.com]

You had already learned to sing in such a manner before you arrived here?

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

[she looks smug] Yeah it's kinda one of the things I do. I'm pretty good.

[consumedpast.livejournal.com]

Certainly better than me. What little I knew has surely been forgotten by now.

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

You used to sing? Maybe I can give you lessons or something.

[Taiki heard the singing, it brought him out of his daze. He had been wandering round the tower trying to avoid people who were angry at him. But at the sound of the song he went to see who was singing.

And stood frozen in the doorway when he saw who it was. His eyes wide.] Sorry...

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

[she turns to face Taiki and pushes some hair behind her ear.]

[Santana looks away, a bit embarrassed that people keep walking in on her singing]

You're find kid, I'm not gonna hurt you.

[isnotagiraffe.livejournal.com]

[Taiki blushes and nods, trying to be as polite as possible] Sorry... just... I liked your singing... [He looked ready to run away again, from the lady who thought him useless.]

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

[She sits on her bed, not inviting him in or kicking him out] Well my voice is pretty amazing.

[isnotagiraffe.livejournal.com]

[He seems a little bit taken aback but nods and offers another nervous smile.] It is yes. Where did you learn to sing... sorry... [He looked about a moment from fleeing the room]

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

[she shrugs] I just liked singing when I was little, I got pretty good. I joined my school's Glee club and got better, so I'm practicing now.

[she rolls her eyes a bit] I'm not going to bite you.
