[spinsandneedles]

Everyone do me a solid and pretend I did this like a month ago, okay? lol shh it's fine don't worry about it

Anyway, hey! The name's Sonic, and I definitely haven't been slacking off on learning crazy season powers stuff ever since I first got here (Summer ftw btw). Except that's sort of exactly what I've been doing, BUT I'm trying to make up for it now! Admittedly I'm kinda terrible at it though hahaa.

So! Is there a trick? Am I supposed to be high fiving people more? I know there's that whole touch thing going on, you need to fist bump someone every couple days or something, or you... what, turn into a statue or whatever? I don't remember, probably should have paid better attention lol

Anyway, tips and tricks welcome! It would be pretty cool to be able to explode through a giant robot while on fire.

[look it's hard to remember to meet your touch quota when you're too busy exploring to think about it, okay? (basically he's doomed it's fine.)

[[ooc: i apped in and then life immediately kicked me in the nards BUT I'M HERE NOW and i've collected my nards, 3 2 1 let's jam]]

When I first arrived the guilds offered dance classes to help us use our seasonal magic. Have you tried that yet? Be careful not to over-do it, or you will pass out.

From using magic, not dancing.

Re: un: nenonen

[spinsandneedles]

Challenge accepted.

Question, though. How is dancing and magic related?

[essenceborn]

I do not know. But when I started hopping, water appeared. The test was a success.

[spinsandneedles]

That's super weird. I'll have to see if it works for me, maybe I can shoot fireballs by breakdancing!

[essenceborn]

Perhaps. I do not know, but please be careful not to break while you are dancing.

[spinsandneedles]

...Sounds like I'm gonna have to show you what breakdancing is.

[essenceborn]

I can watch? Dunk!

[spinsandneedles]

Of course! It'll be easier to show you how it's done than explain it.

[essenceborn]

I am a visual learner! Please tell me when and where.

[spinsandneedles]

I'm free any time, really, I know that doesn't narrow it down though. If you're free today, we can just do it in a little while? And it might be faster if we pick a place close to you to meet up. I can get to anywhere faster than you can blink.

[essenceborn]

Oh! I am free today. That will work for me. I am near Moondrop right now. It is a cafe and flower shop in the Sunwaning District.

Please come visit for all your gardening and relaxation needs.

But also to dance.

[spinsandneedles]

Moondrop, huh? I haven't been there yet. Give me an extra minute to track it down and I can be there in just a bit, sound good?

text > action???

[essenceborn]

Alright! I will wait outside.

Action!!!

[spinsandneedles]

[He probably gets turned around a couple of times on his way over, but it isn't more than a few minutes later that Sonic rolls up looking for... whoever that person he was talking to is. Had he even gotten a name? Oops, huh.]

heck yeah

[essenceborn]

[ YEAH they may should have agreed on more than just "outside Moondrop"....but at least when Sonic shows up, there really is only one person standing outside the cafe! And it's them!

Nenonen can't help but notice (belatedly) the blue blur that comes to an abrupt stop in front of the shop, if only because...he's blue.

Bright blue.

And not-a-human!!

It doesn't even occur to them that this might be the person they've been speaking to over the network. This looks more like...someone's blue, bipedal cat escaped? ]

Re: heck yeah

[spinsandneedles]

[meow dude

Sonic seems to realize that he doesn't have this person's name, looks back over their conversation just in case... nope. hahah, good job kids. There is, however, someone outside! So he'll wave over to them and try not to feel like a dingdong.]

Oh, hey! I'm supposed to meet someone out here... Really hopin' it's you, otherwise this is gonna feel real awkward.

[essenceborn]

[ The bipedal cat is talking!!! Gasp.

Not that Nen actually gasps, but they do look bewildered as Sonic comes up and addresses them. ]

Hello, kitty. Who are you looking for?

[spinsandneedles]

[Huh, well, he's never been mistaken for a cat before. It kind of catches him off guard for a second, but he takes it in stride for the most part.]

Hedgehog, actually. Name's Sonic, I was meetin' someone here to show 'em breakdancing?

[essenceborn]

[ ...They have no idea what a hedgehog is, but seems legit. Nenonen perks up. ]

Oh! Is that me? I am Nenonen, and I am here to see someone break-dancing. I am quite proficient at first aid, so please do not worry. My husband is a doctor.

[spinsandneedles]

[they're about to get a crash course in hedgehog. Kind of. Sonic's maybe not the best example for the average hedgehog?]

Oh yeah? Normally if I get hurt doing something stupid I just walk it off, but it sounds like I won't have to hold back this time!

[No Sonic having someone around that knows first aid does NOT mean 'try harder to get hurt'. It's fine, he's probably joking.]

[essenceborn]

[ SONIC PLS...

Nen looks confident enough in his bravado, and between Shigeru and Oryou it's...it's fine. Probably. They have people they can call if the talking blue hedgehog does something at break-dance speed (har har). ]

Please go all-out. I will observe your dancing to the best of my ability and see if it will produce any results.

[spinsandneedles]

[And finger-guns!]

Now, full disclosure, I'm not a professional. I just do this for funsies. You kinda sling yourself a round a lot, so it helps to be in pretty good shape.

[but talking is boring, so Sonic will move on to demonstrating pretty quickly. Enjoy watching a weird little blue hedgehog spinning and flipping himself around on the ground like an absolute maniac. Maybe some randos can join in, we'll make a party out of it.]

[essenceborn]

[ "Funsies"...that's a new word! Nenonen will file that one away for later. Right now it's DANCE TIME and heck if they aren't going to be impressed. They've seen something close to break dancing at the original 'dance to discover your seasonal magic' sessions the guild held all those months ago, but that doesn't hold a candle to what Sonic does.

YOU MAY JOKE but a crowd will totally gather once people see him really go at it. Nen's the first observer of several that make their way over. ]

Dunk... You are incredible!

[ They've never seen anything move like that before. ]

[spinsandneedles]

Thanks! Glad to see I'm not too out of practice!

[sonic can't tell if this is making him feel more ~magical~ or anything, but he is totally in his element right now. Showing off, having fun, maybe teaching people how to spin on their heads or something. One guy's doing the worm? There's a bigger crowd gathering outside the cafe than Sonic expected to draw, but maybe it'll be good for business? Everybody wins!]

[essenceborn]

I do not think you need practice at all. You a "professional."

[ As far as Nen's concerned anyway. Hope he doesn't mind if they take out their phone to try (and fail) to record a video? They're only going to wind up with a few blurry blue photos that honestly make Sonic look more like a cryptid than a break-dancer, but--

Hm. No magic yet, huh? Maybe they'll need to try another approach. After the impromptu dance party. ]
