H@ppy Together - Dancing 101

[Despite the whole clusterfuck of a week ending, Eri was ready to go as she was running diagnostics on her machines, Noir and Erika. She was tapping on two simultaneous laptops at the moment and was scrolling through the levels when she frowned.]

COFFRET, MIPPLE, what's wrong with the Synch levels recently? They're really low.

[The two mascots set to work and soon, Eri found that they were not synching up between pilots. Frowning, she booted up her records and started to work.

Okay I'm holding a mandatory meeting for all desu pilots. Visitors welcome. Come meet us in the hangar, I've set up some space for us.

[It was here Eri was dressed in a track suit.] Glad everyone can make it. It seems pilot sympathy is pretty low lately, so I'm going to take it upon myself to perform one of the most obvious routines possible. Gentlemen and ladies, we're about to get some dance lessons.

[Turning on a music player, she set it up as she bounced on her toes.] This dance routine is a standard one, made during my sisters time. Follow along as best as you can, watch, and then we'll restart the music.

Here we go.

Did everyone get that? Good. Square off into teams of four and we'll go through the moves again.

[Yeah don't worry, Eri's sturdy. Hopefully.]

Okay! Just take it slow at first. One-and-two-and-one-and-two.

[mecha_eihwaz]

Alright... One, two, one, two...

Wait, what am I supposed to do at this step...?

[How about trip and come crashing down towards Eri, arms flailing? Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.]

Aahhh!

[marinefashion.livejournal.com]

WHOA! [And she's going to try and catch Lily but topple over as well.]

[mecha_eihwaz]

[Try to avoid getting crushed by the heavy robot, Eri! Or hit by her flailing arm.]

Oh no, I'm so sorry! I knew something like this would happen...!

[marinefashion.livejournal.com]

[Whoof, heavy! Eri deals with it like a boss.]

It's fine, it's fine! Messing up is a perfectly normal part of dancing!

Want to give it another try? You were doing really well!

[mecha_eihwaz]

Really? Umm... Could you show me how it's supposed to look again?

[marinefashion.livejournal.com]

Sure! [Stepping back, Eri repeats the dance in a little slower motion than usual.] Take it slow at first and build up speed once you get used to it.

[mecha_eihwaz]

Okay, I think I got it this time! I'll try to keep injuries to the minimum!

[Somehow that doesn't sound as reassuring as intended.]

By the way, why is this mandatory for Desu pilots? Are you planning to put on a show?

[marinefashion.livejournal.com]

Its coordination training, as well as training to bring the pilots closer together. Dancing is a form of expression and expressing your emotions to one another. It's something Miyu, our head teacher, has us do on a regular basis.

[mecha_eihwaz]

Is coordination that important for Desu pilots?

[marinefashion.livejournal.com]

It is. A lot of a Desu pilot's power comes from working well with others, and their teammates. The more trust you have with your partners, the stronger your machine gets.

Emotion fuels the strength. The stronger emotions you have, fighting for what's right, the stronger your attacks get.

[mecha_eihwaz]

Does that mean your giant suits dance like this too?

[marinefashion.livejournal.com]

Yep. Actually that's one of the routines. We have to be able to perform in any function.

[mecha_eihwaz]

Oh, oh, I'd like to see that in action one day, with my own eyes!

[marinefashion.livejournal.com]

I'll see about arranging a demonstration then!

[mecha_eihwaz]

Alright. And in the meantime, let's give this a go again!

[marinefashion.livejournal.com]

Yep! [Dancing is a go!]
