NEW YEARS EVE FESTIVAL LOG (WOW GUYS, THIS TOTALLY ISN'T LATE OR ANYTHING...)

Who: Everyone!
What: New Years Eve! WUTWUT.
When: Err...New Years Eve. Wut...wut? (December 31st, Day 14, etc.)
Where: The Castle Plaza
Rating: Worksafe. If this changes, PLEASE INFORM THE MODS.

[Look down. Now back up! Where are you? You're in the Castle Plaza, with the Gods your Gods could God like.

[Lively, pleasant music hangs in the air around you as fireworks explode in the sky above. There is a tempting aroma teasing at your nostrils. Where is it coming from? Those long tables at the center of the plaza, overflowing with food you love. Craving anything from home? You'll be sure to find it there.

[Look around you. What do you see? Carnival games. Hundreds of Carnival games, including a dunk tank, and all for free! Carnival games not your thing? Why not give the dance floor a try? That music is awfully catchy, and just look at all those stunning lights!

[Enjoy yourselves, travelers. A New Year is upon us.]

[Her hand curls slightly around his when he takes hold of it. His assurances are very much appreciated, and it shows in her return smile that's a bit bigger than his. Were it someone else, she might be even more hesitant, but she trusts him. It's true that she's seen more of him than most people and had the chance to peer into his heart, and has even been spared her life by him, and thus his presence is a comfort for her. She's not sure she can call any relationship she has a friendship without some uncertainty due to her own Nobody status, but she'd probably happily consider him one if that uncertainty were absent (and, of course, she was permitted).]

Okay...! [She obliges with little excess pause and follows his lead toward the dance floor.]

[There we go. That's a good smile. Nodding to himself, he pulls her along further into the floor, making note and studying some of the other people that were around them and how they were dancing. It's strange; he's more than happy to lead her into this, but he doesn't have much of a clue about dancing himself. It certainly didn't look hard though.

Man, he hates improvisation.]


You just need to move a little, with what feels normal.

[And he's got to make a good example out of it, except it's not very good with the way he's moving. But hey, this is all for her own experience and benefit.]
lethechained: (er....)

[personal profile] lethechained 2012-01-16 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Naminé's used to having at least some idea of what's supposed to happen next, but being in Asgard has required that she learn to cope with not knowing what to do, and this is yet one more instance in which she can only wait and see. It's unsettling, yes, and she feels thoroughly out of her element, but there's also the thrill of a new experience. This one, at least, is relatively inconsequential - failure will not result in dire consequences, and it's nice that that's the case (for once).]

Um--

[His example may not be the best, but at least he's not alone - she's stiff and uncertain herself when she gives it a try, but she's smiling.] Like this?

[personal profile] darkbreak 2012-01-18 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh dear, he shouldn't be teasing, and he should not tease Namine of all people. But her attempt makes him smile easily, making him relax a little more.]

Sort of. It's a good start. Just try to move a little more. Catch the beat of the music.
lethechained: (haha...!)

[personal profile] lethechained 2012-01-19 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
O... kay. [Hm. She's not quite sure why he's smiling like that, but it's nice to see him more relaxed, so her smile grows easier, too. There's no chance she'll become a professional dancer any time soon, but she does get a little less stiff once she's managed to dance for a good few moments without falling on her face.]

[personal profile] darkbreak 2012-01-20 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aw, come on. He's just happy to see her enjoying herself, and to not be the only awkward one around. It's nice. Even though there's plenty of people around, it was nice to be able to do it with a friend.]

There we go! You're getting it.
lethechained: (b-blush)

[personal profile] lethechained 2012-01-21 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[She'd be happy she could provide him that opportunity, if she were aware. Participiating in such an activity with a friend or at least someone's encouragement is pretty much the only way it'd happen for her, with her current level of (in)experience, and she very much appreciates his company.]

I am? [Yay!]

[personal profile] darkbreak 2012-01-21 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [He sounds confident and even offers his hand to her so that when she takes it, he can twirl her around.]

Just got to remember that it's only for fun. You don't need to think too seriously about dancing.

[Riku really needs to learn to take his own advice, but since it seems like he is having fun, maybe he is tonight.]
lethechained: (uh....)

[personal profile] lethechained 2012-01-21 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[His confidence is good enough for her. The hand seems to surprise her for a moment, but she recovers quickly and places her hand in his. The twirl is also a bit unexpected, but she follows his lead, laughing.]

Hee~! I'll remember...!

[Maybe so. She's trying to, herself.]

[If they weren't dancing, he probably pat her head. That's a good girl, Namine. Enjoy yourself.]

How are you settling here, anyways? Need help with anything?
lethechained: (calm)

[personal profile] lethechained 2012-01-22 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, headpats! Headpats from him are always acceptable, so if he had, she'd have been surprised but comfortable. She's trying to be a good girl, really she is.]

I've been okay! I've met a lot of kind people. [And some not so kind ones, which sets her off on a train of thought that makes her look a bit bemused.] No, but-- I think that there are some things we should talk about.
darkbreak: (pic#1688568)

[personal profile] darkbreak 2012-01-23 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[He'll just have to give her double the headpats next time.

He nods an approval. Riku's sure that she's capable of taking care of herself, but not all the time. Her second comment though makes him straighten, a bit more of a serious aura.]


Yeah, there's probably a few things to iron out.
lethechained: (unfortunate decision)

[personal profile] lethechained 2012-01-23 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Sounds like a plan.]

[She's grown more serious already by the time he does, her movements slowing.]


A few things, yes. [They seem like pretty big things, daunting things, but the number is actually very small. She hesitates.] Maybe not here, though. [Not in a crowd, where any number of people could be listening.]

[personal profile] darkbreak 2012-01-23 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[He eyes around the dance floor, not worried in case anyone was overhearing. But she started to look a little uncomfortable. Reaching out, he offers her his hand again, in case she had enough of the dancing.]

No, not here. And maybe, not quite today. It's supposed to be a celebration after all. [No need to tackle the heavy duty things when they need to enjoy themselves.]

Whenever you're ready, though, Namine.
lethechained: (you do realize I can replace your brain)

[personal profile] lethechained 2012-01-23 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods firmly.] It is. We should enjoy it. [She offers an apologetic, sheepish smile.] I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up. [She knows better - Nakama taught her better than that the day they went to the park.]

I'll remember. [And she'll call him when the time is right. But for now, she regards that offered hand, and the tilt to her mouth grows both more genuine and more shy.] We can keep dancing, if you want...!
darkbreak: (pic#1688576)

[personal profile] darkbreak 2012-01-23 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.] Nothing to apologize for, so don't worry. We'll just do it at the right time.

[He raises a brow too at her reply, a curious and challenging smile on his face. Riku thought that she would have had enough by now, but it is nice and refreshing to see her wanting to try more.] Only if you want to.
lethechained: (uh....)

[personal profile] lethechained 2012-01-23 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Being told there's nothing to apologize seems to relax her a little bit.] Right.

[The second that eyebrow goes up, she knows she's done it now. --Yep, there's a smile. Her reflexive return smile is a bit sheepish, as is the rest of her.] Well, I-- [It's just so nice to actually get to do something, to move around and have fun and feel kind of silly, but in a good way. Except she's not going to do it on her own (good Riku, best enabler) and she doesn't want to make him keep dancing if he doesn't want to, so she almost says 'only if you want to' but thinks better of it.] I guess... a little longer wouldn't hurt-- if that's okay with you.
darkbreak: (pic#1688572)

[personal profile] darkbreak 2012-02-10 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles easy. Dancing really isn't his forte in such a big crowd, but there's something about leading Namine into it... he feels a little more confident and a little more relaxed in this situation.]

A little longer wouldn't hurt anybody. [And he's swaying and moving to the beat again.]
lethechained: (such a little smile)

[personal profile] lethechained 2012-02-10 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Fortunately, her reaction to being lead is something similar. His answer strengthens her smile, and she nods. Soon enough she's at it again, too.]

Thanks, Riku.
