bravenewworld | Soulfasting Concert for Charity

Who: Lenna Charlotte Tycoon, the Kagamine twins, and open invite for all
What: A Soulfast-themed charity concert and dance
When: Sunday night
Where: The Tycoon family estate
Summary: Lenna is hosting a charity event to benefit Union's poor and homeless population, along with refugees from war-torn communities outside Union's walls and people who are moving into the city but need some help while they get on their feet. The entire city is invited, and donations are not required but are strongly encouraged in the form of Lenna smiling and making big moe eyes at everyone as they enter until they do.

[It's the beginning of the Soulfasting holiday, and despite the complications with Cresselia and Darkrai, Lenna has miraculously managed to pull together the final preparations for her charity event at the last minute. The party itself is being held at the Tycoon mansion in the noble quarter, and the doors have been opened for any and all who wish to come and make merry.

The spacious foyer of the house has been set up with numerous tables with food and drink for the various attendees, plenty of room for dancing and mingling, and of course a large stage at the front of the room set up for Rin and Len Kagamine - Lenna's roommates and the headline performing act of the night. There are donation boxes situated around the room, and Lenna will also be accepting larger donations personally so that she can secure them elsewhere in the house.

And because of the time of year, there is also a table set up with plenty of Pokemon-themed masks for people to wear, with a fancy sign hand written in calligraphy: 'Courtesy of the Tatsumi Gallery.' Lenna herself is wearing a short red party dress with matching heels, greeting everyone as they enter and more or less just buzzing about making sure everyone is having a good time.]

I still feel like someone's gonna try 'n kick me out. I know it's dumb, it's your thing and all, but...

[Shrug.]

Well, if anyone does, send them to me.

[Lenna crosses her arms, looking actually quite serious about that. She's still a tiny little pink-haired noble girl in a pretty dress, though, so the effect is probably not as intimidating as she'd like.]

[Not quite, no.]

Heh. Yes, ma'am.

[Lenna just smiles again, possibly half-cognizant of how silly that was just now.]

But please, try to enjoy yourself tonight. You certainly deserve it after all you've done to help.

I'm definitely gonna try. ... Uh, I ain't a great dancer, though.

[Psh, don't put yourself down, man.]

It's never too late to learn.

Huh, guess so.

[Not that he's shy about the idea. Nope. Not at all. ...Hahaha.]

...Would you like to learn?

Would ... someone wanna teach me?

I wouldn't mind showing you some basic steps.

[Was that a bit of a spark popping off the tip of an ear there? Eep!]

Well... if ya don't mind, and all...

I'd be happy to.

[Yeah, definitely a couple more sparks there.]

Man. Thanks. ...It can't be too bad, right?

No, it's not difficult at all.

[Lenna raises a hand, pointing to her midsection with the other.]

Here, just take my hand, and place your other hand on my waist.

A-alright...

[Ahaha... okay, okay, he can do this, ohsaviourhe'sdancingwithagirl... right. She's a friend, it's okay...

Gingerly, carefully, and more than a little awkward, he follows her instructions.]

And now you just move in time with the beat of the music.

[Lenna begins to sway back and forth slowly, guiding Kanji along.]

[One, two. One, two. At least he's got a damn good sense of rhythm - but it's paired up with some damn big feet.]

Edited 2014-11-11 19:25 (UTC)

That's it! You're doing fine.

[Hey, as long as he doesn't step on hers, Lenna will consider this a success.]

Heh. Thanks.

[He's just about managing that, even if he's having to look down to make sure of where he's stepping.

But he's getting there.]

Do you want to try a turn?

A - turn? [He hesitates a moment, and nods -] Yeah... go on...

Okay, so, I'm going to move this way and you follow me.

[Lenna applies the tiniest bit of pressure with the hand that's resting on his side, lightly tugging in the appropriate direction with the one holding his hand to guide him. And she pivots, turning them roughly 45 degrees to face a different wall.]

[A little clumsily on his feet, but not too badly for a first-timer, he steps around with her.]

Good!

[She can't help but laugh just a little, but it's good natured and accompanied with her usual smile.]

That's how you signal to your partner what you intend to do next while dancing - just light pressure with the hand. Normally you would be leading, but that's how I'd know where you're taking me next. Dancing is a lot like having a conversation, except you use body language instead of words.

Right, right, I getcha...

[He hopes, anyway. Although it's a bit awkward thinking that he should be leading but isn't but argh...]
