probe | Audience: SQX & Yuel

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?

[yuel your tail!! warm-up, warm-up.]

Yeah, that's what I wanna know, too!

[she smiles]

Because it's graceful! And the movements are perfect for when I'm using this to control the wind. [she taps her fan] I might as well look beautiful while I'm doing it, right?

Ya do look pretty beautiful. [ both her and lust! ] So we both use are dancin' in battle... but yer not a fighter, are ya, Lust?

Nope. [but they don't seem to mind.] But it's still part of my career! So even if it isn't for battle it's really important to me.

Your career? [...] What is it that you do?

Are ya a courtesan?

W-what? No way! [indignant!] It's nothing like that! I'm an entertainer.

[that is so unhelpful.]

Oh! Are you a performer, then?

[ crosses her arms ]

Ain't that a courtesan...?

A performer's closer, yeah. I don't do all the things a courtesan would do, and that's a little too ancient for me.

Aaaah, if that's ancient, then I must be an old lady... we have courtesans where I'm from.

[you are an old lady, sqx, you're 557]

I never thought about it like that. Bein' an entertainer and not havin' to live in some stuffy estate...

[ Stares at Lust. ]

That actually sounds like a lot of fun?

You don't look or act that old, don't worry! And neither does Yuel. [WAS THAT EVER A QUESTION?]

But it's a lot of fun! I get to dance and sing and do whatever I want on my channel...I was busy promoting my first single a while ago. The owner of my talent agency wrote the music, but I wrote the lyrics.

...channel? Single? Talent agency?

[???]

[ yuel is 19??? she never questioned if she was old??????? ]

Ohh. [ She's just pretending to understand. ] Can ya sing fer us then?
