Open House

[ACTION]

[With the theater season officially open, the Divine Theater has little else do with the summer but prepare for next season's jam-packed schedule. However, preparation doesn't really bring in money, so, as they do every summer, the Divine Theater has opened its doors to summer classes! There is even word that those students who excel might even be considered for staff next season!

The first class is free in the hopes that they will bring in new students, in the hopes that people will sign up for more. The offerings are rather diverse.

Acting classes, both beginning and advanced; music lessons for singers and instrumentalists; conducting classes; beginning and advanced sewing and costume design; makeup; theater tech and lighting; beginning and advanced dance classes; stage fighting and choreography, just to name a few. There's a little bit of something for everyone here. The front desk ladies have even taken it upon themselves to start their very own beginner accounting class. It's cute, you should check it out

For those working around the theater, it was a busy time--maybe even more than when they were putting on productions. Cleaning to do, classes to help out with, and, of course, making sure any students don't go down secret hallways labeled "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" that totally aren't hiding their super secret base of operations nope nothing here to see folks.

Are you teaching? Attending? Helping out? Maybe just curious?]

Ahaha... okay!

[Chie's grip is strong and confident even though she's never done this before. And it would perhaps not be surprising that her hand would be a little cold and sweaty right now considering how she's feeling.

Instead, though, there's no sweat at all and her hand is closer to the temperature of a cold drink. Not freezing by any means, but definitely a little on the chilly side. Sorry, Maki - Chie forgot to mention that she's half Ice type.]

[personal profile] cutiepanther 2014-07-05 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ Maki doesn't pull her hand back right away, but she seems a little unnerved by the sudden realization of the cold skin against her. Only, her background in medicine, or at least, her parent's background, makes her worry. ]

Are you sick Chie? Your hands are so cold. Have you seen a doctor?
footprints_on_your_face: (some are silk)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-05 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[Chie glances down at her hand, blinking for a moment before looking back at Maki's face. She's blushing a little more fiercely than might otherwise be expected, since the temperature change from the blood flow to her face is far more evident from her Ice typing.]

Oh... that. I'm okay. It's because I'm part Ice type. My temperature runs a little cold ever since I evolved a few weeks ago.

[And then there's an awkward smile.]

Sorry about that. It's not a problem, is it?
cutiepanther: (Default)

[personal profile] cutiepanther 2014-07-05 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ice Type... [ Maki doesn't really notice the blush on Chie's face, she's a little too preoccupied with the news she just got. Chie is an Enlightened like her, but she's open about it, telling Maki right away. And yet, Maki still is hesitant to tell Chie her own secret. ]

No, it's fine.. [ Without even realizing it, Maki just answers with what she thinks sounds the most polite. But even if her words are polite, her tone reveals that perhaps she isn't 100% comfortable with the news, even if it's actually her own insecurities leaking through. ]
footprints_on_your_face: (in good intentions)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-05 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Even if Chie wanted to, hiding her Ice typing would be pretty hard - eventually someone would notice. It's never really been something she's thought of as a terribly big deal in the first place, though.]

Okay... if it gets too cold, just let me know, all right?

[She can sense that there's something up by Maki's tone, but Chie figures there's probably a reason she's not saying more, so she's just going to take her at face value for the time being.]

All right, so I guess we move like this first, right?

[Chie reaches out to put her other hand on Maki's hip before slowly moving to the music.]
cutiepanther: (Default)

[personal profile] cutiepanther 2014-07-05 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Maki has a similar issue, as soon as that hat comes off, everyone will know she's a Shifter. She just is afraid of that ever happening. Still, she knows she should be a little more forgiving of Chie's own situation. ]

It's fine, it's not that cold..

[ Turning her head away from Chie to look at their two teachers, Maki tries to see where Michiru has her hands on Haruka. It only makes sense to follow the girl she actually knows.

Maki goes a little stiff at the hand on her hip though, because that's where her Purrloin tail is wrapped around her. She just hopes that Chie doesn't notice, which of course makes her steps a little awkward. ]
footprints_on_your_face: (for a reason)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-05 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good, since I can't really turn it off.

[With a last awkward laugh, Chie starts moving along with the beat as best she can, stepping forward and doing her best not to step on Maki's feet. This may be met with mixed success considering Chie's inexperience and the fact that Maki is a little distracted. On the upside, she's distracted enough with trying to get the dance right that she doesn't notice the tail at all.]

One, two, three...
cutiepanther: (Default)

[personal profile] cutiepanther 2014-07-05 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Maki doesn't answer Chie, instead trying to focus on the dance. She knows exactly why she's not answering, because she's still weirded out by the cold. But she wants to learn how to dance, she just has to put the other stuff out of her mind. ]

Ah, sorry, that was your foot.. [ Maki hits her foot against Chie's and lifts it quickly, trying to make sure they don't trip. Beneath her hat, her ears wiggle though in frustration, as Maki tries harder to concentrate. ]
footprints_on_your_face: (but we love)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-05 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Good thing they're both so focused on the dance; otherwise, Chie would probably misinterpret Maki's silence as a sign that she doesn't really like her all that much after all.]

Whoops! Sorry...

[There's a bit of a stumble from Chie too, and she pauses to steady herself, her eyes flicking up briefly to those hidden ears.]

You okay?
cutiepanther: (whats a cutie panther?)

[personal profile] cutiepanther 2014-07-06 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ If only making friends were easy, Maki would already have some. It's no wonder that she might already be messing up things between her and Chie. ]

We just have to move more in sync, that's what it looked like Michiru was doing.. [ Only, Maki can't quite "sparkle" like the two of them. She can pull Chie a little closer though, trying to emulate the teachers better. ]

You can move you hand a little lower too. [ Except of course, that would put Chie's hand right on her tail, and would make her jump if Chie touched it so directly. ]
footprints_on_your_face: (every now and then)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-06 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
All right, let's try it.

[Except a couple of unfortunate things happen when Maki pulls her closer. One, Chie sneezes again now that her face is closer to the cat hair hiding underneath that hat. And two, as that first thing is happening, Chie's hand pushes a little more firmly than she'd originally intended right up against Maki's tail as she shifts it down.]
cutiepanther: (what?!)

[personal profile] cutiepanther 2014-07-06 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That sneeze, that touch of her tail, a thing that no one's touched before, makes Maki jump. Her feet come down awkwardly on Chie's and she goes down onto the stage on her butt. Of course, at the same time, her hat pops off. Moaning a little in pain, Maki doesn't even realize her hat has fallen off, and that those cute little Purrloin ears are visible among her red hair. ]

Ahh...
footprints_on_your_face: (so many secrets)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-06 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
W-whoa!

[And Chie tumbles right down on top of her, quickly lifting herself up and off the other girl and looking quite embarrassed about it.]

M-Maki, I'm sorry, I didn't-

[...But she stops short as she sees those ears, just blinking at them.]
cutiepanther: (Default)

[personal profile] cutiepanther 2014-07-06 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I-It's fine, I'm... [ Maki tries to say she's not hurt when she follows Chie's eyes to her own head, realizing her hat is gone and those cat-like perk up through her hair. Has there ever been anything more embarrassing?! ]

D-Don't look! [ Maki's hands quickly go to her head, trying to head those ears as best she can. ]
footprints_on_your_face: (there are some)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-06 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
O-okay...! I'm not!

[Chie sharply glances... well, somewhere. Somewhere not at Maki's head or her face or anything. In her preoccupation with not looking at her, though, she hasn't quite realized that she's still sort of half on top of her.]

I didn't see anything!
cutiepanther: (Default)

[personal profile] cutiepanther 2014-07-06 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Maki tries to move a little, only finding that she's definitely got Chie on top of her. That leaves her in a difficult place. She could try to slip out but she would have to use her hands and that meant unhiding her ears. ]

Because there's nothing to see!
footprints_on_your_face: (goes south)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-06 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Right! Just red hair, and...

[And now she realizes she's still on top of her. Blushing and rolling quickly to the side, Chie stammers incoherently for a few moments.]

...a-and nothing!
cutiepanther: (im not really that pretty..)

[personal profile] cutiepanther 2014-07-06 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You did see! You saw!

[ At the moment Maki is probably causing a disruption in the class, and she sort of hates herself for it, but she can't get over the fact that Chie saw what she didn't want her to. The only thing she can do is reach underneath her for her hat and tug it back on quickly, before getting to her feet and turning away from Chie. ]

I-I should probably just leave...
footprints_on_your_face: (when I pressed her)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-06 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... maybe a little...

[Chie frowns, glancing awkwardly down at the ground for a moment, but her attention snaps back up to Maki's face at that last thing.]

Wait! Hang on. I'll walk you back.
cutiepanther: (Default)

[personal profile] cutiepanther 2014-07-06 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
So you did!

[ Even though Maki was baiting out that answer, she still manages to look at Chie like she is some sort of liar. She's not even mad, just embarrassed that her secret is out. ]

N-No, it's fine you don't have to!

[ Maki's already going to her bag that she brought with her, trying not to imagine the eyes on her, judging her, staring at her, wondering what she is. ]
footprints_on_your_face: (though we share)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-06 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Chie frowns, looking understandably hurt at that momentary glare she gets from Maki. Not wanting to cause more of a scene, she keeps her voice low as she picks herself up off the floor.]

It's okay...

[She didn't bring anything along with her, so she just walks out of the theater ahead of Maki and waits outside. She's hoping they can talk a little once they're away from the crowd, as she really doesn't want things to end with hurt feelings.]
cutiepanther: (Default)

[personal profile] cutiepanther 2014-07-06 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Somehow, Maki really didn't expect Chie to come outside with her. She doesn't even know why she's leaving the class, when she was enjoying learning how to dance. She's just mad at herself for letting someone see her ears, that she doesn't know what else to do than run away. ]

I-I told you that you didn't have to come outside!

[ And yet, even though she's not mad at Chie, she can't help from lashing out a little, trying to push her away. ]
footprints_on_your_face: (happy!)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-06 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, but I wanted to apologize.

[Chie's feeling really guilty right now, and it shows in the smile she's trying to manage. She doesn't even resist being pushed, just stumbling back before taking a step forward again.]

And I could tell you were embarrassed, so I thought it'd be better to come out here to do it.
Edited 2014-07-06 23:12 (UTC)
cutiepanther: (i-i dont like you or anything)

[personal profile] cutiepanther 2014-07-06 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't have anything to apologize for, I'm the one who's weird here..

[ Maki hates herself, seeing how far Chie is going to be friendly, and how she can't just stop pushing her away, figuratively. Chie didn't even do anything wrong, it's herself that Maki's mad at. ]

These ears...I know you saw them. I never wanted them, I never wanted to become like a Pokemon..
footprints_on_your_face: (some are silk)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-06 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
What's weird about that? I mean, I saw them, but it's not like there's anything wrong with them. They're actually kind of cute!

[Chie blinks curiously. She honestly doesn't see what the big deal is.]

You really don't like Pokemon, do you?
