Valentine's Day Dance | Town Hall | Saturday Evening [8pm on]

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

As Desperation Day dances went, this was probably not the most tacky ever.  Of course given that it was Desperation Day, so tacky really went with the territory.

There was glitter, oh, was there ever glitter in a multitude of sparkly colours.  But even more so, it seemed that the decorators had taken the 'Hearts Afire' theme literally as large cut out hearts adorned the walls.  Each with a tissue paper 'flame' bursting from the top of it.  Streamers in all shades of pink twisted across the ceiling, forming almost a canopy.  Which hopefully would not be literally set afire.  The Fire Department would probably disapprove of that. Also a lot of people's dresses would be ruined.

Let's stay away from any literal fire, okay, guys?

[Up early for timezones.  Wait for the OCD or I will STAB YOU, OKAY? is up! And thre'll be a second post up later if this one gets insanely large (well, hell, why even say 'if')]

"Oh, I'm sorry," Jonas said, wincing. "I didn't even think about that. I'm still not used to people just turning into animals and then turning back. It's strange."

"I'm not accusing you," she said gently. "Tis hard not to, I just think she'll be cranky at me later."

"I'd say I'd make it up to you but I think that might make it even worse," he said, laughing a bit nervously.

"It'll be fine," Beka assured him. "And I'll find Karla so we can dance without you having to worry about being bitten."

"And I do like not being bitten," he laughed. "I tend to be in better moods and in less pain when that happens."

"I much prefer it when you're not either," she agreed. "It'd make the dancing less fun if you were suffering through it."

"I'd say you were sooner to be the one suffering if I dance too badly," he said and snickered.

Re: Arrival/Mingling

"You'll not dance badly," she said confidently. "So I've not need to worry."

"I hope you're right," he said, not looking all that convinced himself. "I'd rather avoid hurting you."

Re: Arrival/Mingling

She rolled her eyes at him. "It doesn't count as hurting if I can walk away from it," she told him. "Give me a moment to find Karla and then we'll dance?"

"All right," Jonas agreed. "I won't go far." Meaning he wouldn't attempt to run away from a dance.

Beka smiled and leaned forward to kiss his cheek. "I'll not be long," she promised.

And, true to his word, Jonas stuck around, waiting for her to come back so he could voluntarily dance. In his head, he was running through steps and rhythms and what to do and what not to do.
