Ugh, what a pain. I'm staying in, so don't bug me unless you're worth my time.

[She'd be happy to see people she knows, really...It's just all the other idiots she can't stand.]

[ooc: 4th wall, anything goes!]

[action!] ♥!

[Rita relaxes a little, not angry anymore.]

Yeah, but...[She doesn't want to involve too many people...if it comes up.] We'll figure that out if the time comes, all right?

[action!] ♥!

[stargathering]

[ Well, it's hard to stay annoyed when she's not acting bothered. He nods in response. ] Right...

...Maybe this weekend will be peaceful. The past few days haven't been that bad.

[action!] ♥!

[blastiafreak]

That just- [Wait, haven't they had this conversation before? Rita cuts herself off from saying that it won't last.] Maybe, if we're lucky.

[action!] ♥!

[stargathering]

...Yeah, if we're lucky. [ He looks over to her again. ] Try not to be so pessimistic.

[action!] ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[She blushes a little, and stares at her hands.] I-I know, I know. I'll try.

[action!] ♥!

[stargathering]

Good.

[ ...Okay, he'll slip off his seat to sit beside her. ]

Let's not think about this anymore.

[action!] ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[A glance at Tyr right next to her just makes her flush more, so it's back to staring intently at the floor. It's really interesting, okay.]

Y-yeah, all right. So...

--Is there anyone you want to see show up?

[action!] ♥!

[stargathering]

[ He thinks of scooting away for her, but... Nope, not going to be awkward. ]

Oh. Yeah. I... [ Just give him a second. ] It's been a long time since I've seen some of my friends from home... Like Kasumi.

[action!] ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[It's all right, though. It's...nice having him there, even if she is flustered.

[She gets over the awkwardness enough to look him now.] And like your dancer friend, right?

[action!] ♥!

[stargathering]

[ Sitting by her just feels better! Because it's not looking down her all the time. ]

Yeah, and her, too. I haven't seen her in even a longer time... She might even bring Karen along.

[action!] ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[No sore neck for him!]

And this Karen's another friend of yours?

[action!] ♥!

[stargathering]

[ That's right! Very important to avoid that. ]

Yeah--She's one of Mina's students. [ Does she know Mina is his dancer friend...? ] They're both dancers.

[action!] ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Yes! He can't be getting cramps.]

Just how many dancers do you know, anyway? Is that Kasumi one, too?

[action!] ♥!

[stargathering]

[ Yes. ;__; Cramps are horrible! He'd have to stretch all the time! ]

No-- Mina and Karen are the only two professional dancers I know back home. Kasumi is a ninja. ...I don't know if she can dance.

[action!] ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Sudden exercises in the middle of a conversation?!]

A ninja? So you never tried to dance with her?

[action!] ♥!

[stargathering]

[ He can talk while he does curls! ]

No... I don't usually ask people to dance with me... [ though he's tempted now. ]

[action!] ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[That's right! It helps his concentration.]

Oh, yeah...You said it'd been a while, right? [But he did ask her...And she's glad. It was a lot of fun.]

[action!] ♥!

[stargathering]

[ It does! That's his excuse. ]

It had been. I don't have as many parties back home as here, so... [ B-because she prompted him! He had fun, though. ]

[action!] ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[He can use the excuse for everything!]

You don't need to be at a party to dance, you know. [Aw, should she prompt him again? She liked their dancing.]

[action!] ♥!

[stargathering]

[ He might! It'd be easy... ]

I know, but... I need some reason to. [ She'll have to! Unless music starts playing suddenly... ]

[action!] ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[That's right! He'd be the best at multitasking.]

A reason? What kind of reason do you need to dance? [Only in magical video game land...Prompting it'll be!]

[action!] ♥!

[stargathering]

[ The best way to do it. B| ]

... Just music, I guess... [ Prompting won't be so bad-! ] Why, do you want to dance again?

[action!] ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Heck yes. 8D]

[Prompted!] Well...Of course--I mean, if that's all you need...[She stands up and quickly strides over to one of her many junk piles to pick up a blastia about the size and shape of a toaster, its sides smooth and its edges rounded. It's worn, having seen a lot of use.] We can use this guy. If you want to.

[action!] ♥!

[stargathering]

[ He looks at it curiously, wondering what exactly it (he?) is. It's not as important, though. He smiles and nods. ] We can give it a try. [ He pushes himself up to his feet. ] Wanna do it the same as last time?

[action!] ♥!

[blastiafreak]

Yeah. That was fine with me. [It was really fine. Rita smiles back, and happily puts in a few commands to the blastia--and it starts playing music, a fast, upbeat rhythm not completely unlike the one they danced to before.] This should work just fine, right?
