five. spam & video. thank you for dancing 'til the end

spam } throughout lost in translation

[Unlike during some floods, Vin isn't hiding this time - not even close. She's fascinated by the varied languages she's hearing and is scouring the ship to hear as much as possible in the time she has. Admittedly she spends a greater proportion of her time above deck, in the gardens, and in the CES than anywhere else, but the only place she doesn't visit once is Zero. Everywhere else, she's watching and listening and occasionally muttering quietly in the language of Scadriel.]

video } public

[This is the Public Address voice/face, in which Vin is about 10% more social adept than at other times. There's eye contact happening, and that's pretty much all you can ask.]

Mark's gone, you know that, but before he left he . . . mentioned dancing. Dancing lessons, specifically. We talked for a while, and I still want to do them. There's only so much I can teach, because there's only so much I know, but I can start and other people can - teach other things. Later.

I'll be on deck later this afternoon, unless there's a better space.

[And what was the other thing.]

Wear comfortable clothes.

spam } deck

[Vin is, in fact, on deck, starting at around four in the afternoon, and even if nobody shows up she will at least be practicing various calisthenic-type exercises she learned from Ham. Once a small group gathers, she'll demonstrate a few simple steps - brusquely but effectively - of very old-fashioned ballroom-ish dancing. It's pretty clear she's not the best in the world at this teaching crap, but she's an excellent dancer (in part, but not whole, because of Mistborn cheating).]


( ooc; feel free to use the second spam as a somewhat-mingly thing!! i am cool with whatever, threadjack all over the place, do your thing, xoxo )

I know mostly modern styles - energetic styles, from the Dougie to the Electric Slide. But... I know my way around a ballroom. Waltz, Tango, bit of Salsa...

[ He stood straight, hands up and out in a classic grip for a waltz; partnerless he stepped out, one after another, to show her the steps to see if it's anything like what she knows. ]

You taught a fucking dog to dance. Not just any dog, but a golem.

Are you really the smart one out of the two of us? Not seeing it, personally.

It looks like it might run on a different count, slightly. I would dearly love to hear your music. Are there recordings?

[ He does love music. ]

[Of course, Kelsier is here. Why wouldn't he be here? He's lounging in a higher up spot to watch her teach. That's what really interests him. Never having seen what she did after he was gone... this is a little like watching her grow up all over again.]

[Eventually he jumps down.] Remember when you hated dresses?

You could ask the Admiral. Sometimes he provides things -- or look in the library. There are things from a world's time and space; perhaps you could find recordings then.

But yes, there's.... a different count. And I've never seen that dance before.

[ He paused, and then asked: ] Have you ever seen a movie, Vin?

You're the generous dance coach, I take it.

[She's not much of a dancer (her skills lately run more toward combat) but any opportunity to stretch her legs on this flying fish bowl is a good thing.]

Well, I can teach you some gymnastics tricks in return. Close, right?

I'd love to!

[And she's on the deck with a notepad of all things, as if there's going to be a lecture. Chromie mimics both the exercises and the dance, and although she's not particularly graceful or agile, she's a very determined learner.]

Like this?

Well, I host the movie night on the barge, on Mondays. So why don't I line up some dance film, hmm? Though I imagine it'll have some culture clash as you try and figure out what everything is, what with humans and their infinite cultural variety.

[ He rocks on his heels, smiling; it'll be a nice distraction and an excuse not to show Christmas movies. ]

Monday, then. It'll be fun. [ He's quite pleased; it means a nice distraction for him. ]
