[schrodingerscockroach]

Do you now?

[malignstar]

It keeps life interesting.

[schrodingerscockroach]

True.

What square are you looking to do?

[malignstar]

I want the dance one.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I got that one too.

May I have this dance? [Offers a hand.]

[malignstar]

[ Grins and takes his hand ]

Should I let you lead?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Depends how good of a dancer you are. I can keep up, but might be safer if I lead if you're not good.

[but pulling him close for the dance.]

[malignstar]

I'm a very~ good dancer.

[ Going to show off some fancy moves now. Sadly no dips as Dusk is kinda heavy ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Probably keep it slower, but I think you can lead.

[Because keeping up with those fancy moves was a little hard there.]

[malignstar]

Okay, okay, slow dancing it is.

[schrodingerscockroach]

For the safety of your toes, really.

[malignstar]

[ Going slower ]

What can I say? I like to live dangerously.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Laughs.]

Don't need to be super slow. Just enough so I can keep up. [He does have some grace, it's just also obvious he's following his steps.]

[malignstar]

Counting?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Not quite so deliberate.

[malignstar]

Think you could manage multi-tasking?

[ Gives them a little spin ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Of course.

[malignstar]

Want to try a little roleplay~?

[schrodingerscockroach]

I've done that, but I'll play along with yours if you want. I also need to pet someone for five minutes.

[malignstar]

You can pet me! I love getting pet!

[schrodingerscockroach]

All right. Rather be a human or a wolf for it?

[It does feel different, HE KNOWS NOW]

[malignstar]

You're the one petting. I'll let you decide.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I could do either.

What role would you like to play. Could combine it?

[malignstar]

I guess I could play the puppy.

[schrodingerscockroach]

That works.

Then let's do it.
