Testing! All the pretty lights
Jess is staring into the pantry. This is scary. Someone had bought all of her favorite things.

And what looks to be like everyone else's too. She raises one eyebrow and then the other. For a moment she isn't sure if she should laugh or not. Instead she shakes her head and moves to sit on a stool in the big and very shiny looking kitchen at their new head quarters.

She is hungry but all the food that appeals to her different tastes is off putting just a bit. It's too easy. That's when she gets a bright idea.

She starts to dig around for materials. She'll try making pizza. That will make things just hard enough to be interesting.

"Harry?" Jess stops and flushes but it doesn't show up much on her skin.

"Sorry. I'm still trying to remember who everyone is." She dips a spoon into the sauce and uses it to coat the crust she made with a decent coat. She wants to be sure there's enough to get a good taste of the sauce with the toppings.

"Should this be the veggie one or the other one," Jess asks.

"Really, it's okay. It's all kinda new so I don't expect you to remember."

He turns to Heather: "They're singers pretty much and the song goes like- actually wait I've got a better idea."

There's a flash of Indigo light and Harry teleports away. He remembers seeing the intercom system somewhere...

Another flash and he's back with a large goofy grin while the speakers start playing Dean's version of Mambo Italiano. He turns to Heather. "There you go! It's quite good music really."

He glances at Cindy with an apologetic smile. "I promise to put up Clooney's version after."

Florian wags the spoon he had used to spread the sauce out with at Cindy. "That's practically blasphemous. Dean Martin has the best version."

Absently, he answers Jess as he scrapes the extra sauce into a container to save for later. "Yours should be the veggie one, the one I spread already has meat in the sauce, so we might as well load it with the works. Thank you, Harry."

He adds the last bit as he finishes turning around with a grin. He sings along in tune and on beat while he steps out of the rest of the chefs ways and begins to mambo.

	Saishu listens to the music a few moments, then watches the start of the mamboing. Interesting. She has nothing more to chop up, and everything else seems handled, so she glances again at the person who seems most interested in introducing her to these things in useful detail. "Cindy, you are a fan of a different version of this song? Do you dance as well, then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 03:36 am UTC (link)
	"Yes and only on occasion, respectively," Cindy says, smiling. "I make a better audience than I do a dancer, most of the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's gotten a lot more relaxed now that the music is on. He's certainly not as nervous as before, and everyone involved has been quite nice. Harry laughs as he joins Florian in the mambo. "Come on Cindy, we'll make a mambo line. I'm sure you're a lot better than you say. And if we get five then I'll have to put on mambo number 5!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	be_afraid 2011-10-24 08:40 am UTC (link)
	Florian shakes his head, but he's laughing a little. "God, no. Don't inflict that song upon our ears. There's plenty of other music we could dance to besides that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2011-10-24 11:39 am UTC (link)
	"Hey!" Heather exclaimed. "I like that song. It's catchy." "Not that I can dance to save my soul." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2011-10-24 11:45 am UTC (link)
	"Never heard Number Five before," Jess comments as she's starting to gather things together. "I can kind of dance. Not well but that's mostly because I always end up planting my elbow into something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"She's right, it is catchy. And Jess hasn't heard it!"

He glances at Cindy, "Did you want to play the Clooney version before Mambo number 5? Actually...", this time he looks at Lenny.

Flash of light and he's gone. In a moment there's another flash and he's in front of Lenny with the portable control panel for the speaker system. "Well, do you want to be the DJ? We'll be your puppets and dance to whatever you choose." He throws Lenny a smile and hopes it works. He wants everyone to feel included.

Florian rolls his eyes, but he's still smiling. "Well if she hasn't heard it...but really all he did was string together some traditionally female names."

Looking towards Saishu he nods. "I'm sure we'd love to teach you, though, I don't know if you'd want to learn the more complicated partnered moves or just the basic step?"

Directed for Jess and Cindy he adds, "It doesn't matter how good you are if you're enjoying yourself, awkward elbow injuries or not."

	"Oh I have fun.... right up until I bruise the heck outta my elbow," Jess says laughing. She's trying to hard to not move with the music a little. She does love dancing no matter how badly she thinks she fouls it up. "And I like music. I go running a lot so I like listening to something to add some extra... I dunno, fun to it."

	"Oh, thanks Harry, but..I really don't know what a DJ does exactly." He scratches his head. "Plus I've never been comfortable with the idea of determining what others do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy smiles at Saishu. "Never hurts to try new things, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-10-24 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	Saishu smiles at Cindy, and the general atmosphere. She's not the shy type... and takes the commentary as invitation, reaching out to tug Cindy over. "True. You will show me how to do this dance." Its meant more as a request than a command, by tone, at least. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, a DJ is the guy in charge of the music. Don't worry, we don't mind. Although you could start off with the mambo songs if you don't know what to choose right now. I'm sure we're all okay with anything though." He's doing his best to make sure nobody is left out, he hopes it's working.

Harry mambos back over to the mambo line and motions for Jess to join. "You can dance beside me, I just absorb impacts so you don't need to worry about hurting either of us. If you want I can show you some steps, I'm nowhere as good as Flo but I'm passable."

Good, he's gotten most of them involved. Lenny on DJ duty and the rest dancing or going to dance.

Team Mambo Line!

	Florian steps out of line and back to the counters gently prodding Jess towards Harry. "Go ahead, Jess. I'll keep watch on the pizzas, and call out expert criticisms." He made an exaggerated show of checking the pizzas and his watch, knowing he didn't have much more than an hour left before his mother started wondering where he had gotten to for so long.

	Okay, Heather had to smile a little at this, rising up to an actual grin. She started to sway with the music, started to dance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2011-10-24 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Are you sure Florian," she asks him wanting to be sure he wasn't left out. Then she just shook her head and moved to join Harry. "Sure Harry. Maybe you know a few things I don't I'll try minding my elbows," she said while glancing at him. Somehow Harry had drawn everyone in and she thought that was cool. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy blushes, but will happily recover enough to show Saishu the basics. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Saishu moves along with Cindy and the line, slow, looking down at the smaller girl's hips and legs til she gets the basic idea. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
