A SAVAGE LAND FOR A SAVAGE NIGHT

WHO: EVERYONE OF ALL AGES
WHERE: The Xavier Institute
WHEN: June 15th, early evening to all night long!
WARNINGS: Who knows! Language is likely, violence is possible, dancing is mandatory.
SUMMARY: prom night prom night gotta get down on prom night
FORMAT: MINGLE

As you enter through the doors of the Danger Room, the sound of cicadas chirping clues you into your arrival to a tropical paradise. Red and orange lights show a room transformed, vines all along the walls and trees that seem to reach the beyond the ceiling. There's no doubt now, you're deep in the heart of the jungle. You can almost feel the heat of a distant volcano, the humidity wafting in from a river just outside, but that's only your imagination. Luckily, someone had the foresight to bring an exterminator into this jungle beforehand, as there isn't a bug in sight.

Fierce papier mache dinosaurs look down on your throughout the room, some perhaps planning their next meal, others regarding the intruders to their home with something not unlike fear. From the stage, the gleaming jaws of a downed Tyrannosaurus look on at the partiers, hungry even in its taxidermied stated.

But there's one ornament that stands above them all: the mirrored surface of what appears to be a pterodactyl man, reflecting the lights all across the room in ways most disco balls only wish they could.

Welcome to the Savage Land. Hope you survive the experience!

If we slow down enough we should be able match the tempo every three or four steps. [Astral has no idea what he's saying, but it sounds logical enough.] So, we don't have to match its pace exactly...

[ she lets out another laugh. ]

But you'll never learn that way! The idea is to adapt ourselves, not to find the easiest loophole. No awards are given for shoddy work!

[A frustrated noise!! Stop laughing at him...] But I don't know what I'm doing.

[ well he should stop being silly first! ]

You won't really need to, starting out. But you have to progress, to challenge yourself. Venture out into the unknown that you can identify it.

Kattobing? [Katto-what?]
glowsferatu: wait (Wow What)

[personal profile] glowsferatu 2013-07-15 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Possibly... [ she has no idea what that means, but assumes it must be something similar to what she just said. ]
soulbonder: (10)

[personal profile] soulbonder 2013-07-15 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can kattobing!! He's more inspired and trying to quicken his pace.]
glowsferatu: smile (How Very Exciting)

[personal profile] glowsferatu 2013-07-16 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she matches him without missing a beat, keeping her eyes on his feet. ]

There you have it, I think you're getting the hang of this! [ she darts her foot out of the way quickly to avoid a collision, laughing again. ] Be careful now.

[At least somebody's watching, because he's going to end up stepping on toes eventually. Or trip. Or... something else utterly ridiculous.] I will be careful.
glowsferatu: smile (Offering A Listening Ear)

[personal profile] glowsferatu 2013-07-18 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ she let's this go for a while, flicking her eyes between his face and feet. eventually, she looks him right in the ways. she thinks he may be ready to switch up a bit. ]

Alright, in just a moment I'm going to let go of your hands. Can you handle that?
glowsferatu: wait (pic#5797293)

[personal profile] glowsferatu 2013-07-21 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, let's give it a go.

[ she slips her hands out of his, taking a step back and clasping them in front of her stomach, moving her shoulders into her rhythm and watching his carefully. ]

[personal profile] soulbonder 2013-07-22 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Instantly lost on what he's supposed to... But he's going to try, anyway. The rhythm shouldn't be too hard to get into, he moves his hands close to his chest.]
glowsferatu: smile (Default)

[personal profile] glowsferatu 2013-07-23 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she just keeps watching him, dancing on her own but giving him a big, expectant grin. come on bro, you got this. ]
soulbonder: (33)

[personal profile] soulbonder 2013-07-24 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[So... he should step like this, and do this, too? But it's not on mark with the music... But wait, he could catch up if he steps right now on this particular beat...

He's really awful at this, wow.]
glowsferatu: smile (Default)

[personal profile] glowsferatu 2013-07-26 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she lets out a little giggle, follows it with a little lie. if he gets discouraged, he might give up, and that won't be any good. ]

You can do it, you're doing great!
soulbonder: (16)

[personal profile] soulbonder 2013-07-28 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
I am? [Peers up at her excitedly]
glowsferatu: smile (Overcome With Delight)

[personal profile] glowsferatu 2013-07-30 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Certainly! [ she matches his excitement in her own expression. ] I can tell you're really trying with this!
soulbonder: (11)

[personal profile] soulbonder 2013-08-02 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
["Really trying?" Wait, he knows what those words are code for. ... But he was trying, so that's good enough.] When did you learn how to dance, Kanaya?

My first time? It was at a prom just like this one. Two years ago, though it almost seems longer.
