probe | Audience: SQX & Yuel

[ Yuel's a little teary eyed as Shi Qingxuan finishes, practically throwing herself at her to give her a clap on the back. ]

That was beautiful! Ya totally had me under yer spell.

[fan dance, fan dance! while yuel is about ready to bowl sqx over lust is busy clapping again.]

Yeah, same! It's so mesmerizing the way you can twirl with the fan and how it looks so graceful...just like the wind!

[ack! with a laugh, shi qingxuan accepts the clap on the back and gives yuel a quick hug before sweeping her arm in a bow to lust.]

Thank you, thank you! Now, I believe it's your turn to show us your moves, Lust?

Oh yeah! I really wanna see styles from other words. [ She locks eyes with the void under Lust's hood. ] Some of the dancin' is pretty sexy.

[it means lust laughs as they take a step back to give themselves some room.]

Well I can't guarantee that, but I hope you like it!

[but they have a promise to keep, so they begin! they start with their back facing the two of them before they begin to step from side to side, turning to face the front before adding some movements of their arms. they step from side to side, swinging their arms in a graceful fluid motion, waving their hands and nodding to a beat. they mime playing the drums. they continue to step from side to side and move their arms from side to side, turning in circles...it's all very precise, actually, and lust seems to be humming to themselves?

neither of them will really understand, but given this is the hardest description to write? the moves are very similar to what an idol would do with the turns, arm movements, sidesteps and bows. and at the end they strike a pose with one arm in the air. tada~!]

[me, reading the description: para-para dancing??

anyway, shi qingxuan watches as lust dances. the arm movements are pretty interesting! she'd almost expect her to be holding something, but, well, she's used to fan dances, so.

when lust strikes a pose, she applauds.]

What an energetic dance! It looked like you were having so much fun!

[ Yuel also has no idea what's going on, but she's claps. She loves seeing people move!! ]

Does it have a name?

Hmmm...I don't think so! But maybe we should name it. It's my own choreography. I made it up a little while ago.

Oh? What inspired you to come up with it? Perhaps we can draw from that, for the name.

Ya should name it after yerself. Something like... The Tornado of Lust.

Hm....aren't tornados kind of bad though?

Oh, I don't know, they can be useful in the right hands.

[ nods ]

Besides it's about [ ben wyatt face ] the emotions. Yer conjurin' up at these feelings with yer dance like an unstoppable storm.

Ooh I see...maybe a better word for a tornado then? Like...like a whirlwind!

Whirlwinds are good too!

Whirlwind actually does sound better... [ She sweeps a hand toward the sky. ] The Whirlwind of Lust.

[ She likes it! ]

Do ya both choreograph yer own dances? I've always danced what my family taught me.

That's perfect! [but they twirl a bit at that.] I choreographed my own stuff, yeah. It took a long time to really pick a style I liked, but I've been practicing really hard to make it into something great.

I don't choreograph my own - there are lots of traditional dances where I come from, and they're all beautiful. But it might be fun to try someday.

[she smiles at lust]

You have a talent for it!

I wanna try it too, but it's kinda hard without any music. [ homestuck ost notwithstanding ] How d'ya normally get started?

Thanks! [but hm...you know what. they're just going to wander to the dj table and pick a song with a decent, faster beat.]

Before we start making up moves, we have to warm up! You can start with easy steps to get your body moving and let the rhythm come naturally.

[why homestuck music all the time]

Oh, I like this!

[ This music is still so different, but she starts tapping her foot before gradually starting to move a little more. ]

This is kinda like the music from that steppin' game, ain't it? That's a pretty good warm up.

Yeah! Have you guys played much? [lust is already starting to go through some warm-up motions. follow the beat, friends!]

Oh! I've played it a little - it's really fun.

[she watches lust and starts mimicking the warm up motions to the beat!!]

[ Yuel is also following the motions, though she's careful not to knock either of them over with her tail. ]

I didn't know you were a dancer too. [ She looks over at Shi Qingxuan. ] Why'd ya start?
