Mistress Dizzy

Kijani didn't mind the questions. "I wasn't always a fighter. But I've always liked music, and rhythm. My parents sent me to ballroom dancing classes- I know a lot more than this slow dance." She smirked a bit, though her eyes were distant. "Since I figure I'm never going to be a heavy hitting fighter, I have to pick a style that uses my best assets. I can move quickly and flexibly, and I can respond to my partner's movements. You're absolutely right, fighting is like a dance."

Connor smiled, "I think I can suceed with a slow dance" he said, shifting to face her"anything else might be beyond my skills" he said truthfully. He was quife happy to learn from kijani.

"Not for long, Connor." She smiled, and then gently took his hands. One she placed on her shoulder, the other at her waist. The song switched from something she didn't recognize to something she hadn't heard in years. "...My... nanny used to let me watch Disney movies." She smiled and began to dance with Connor.

Connor listened to the announcement, couples dance? He wasn't even too sure to be honest what that entailed. He tried to shrug as if it were an everyday occurrence, "uh. Sure" he said why not? He thought. He held out a hand for her, hoping it wasn't sweaty from nerves.

Kijani gently took his hand and led him to the floor. "...you do know how to do this, right? I mean, it's not exactly a waltz, but... you did ask for lessons." She wanted to know what skills he had to work with. He did seem rather nervous. Then again, she wasn't much better, she just knew how to fake it more.

John grins, "Great! Unfortunately it requires climbing a ladder. Usually, I'd offer to carry you, but my powers aren't working right now."

Devika chuckled softly. "I can climb a ladder." She frowned. "Wait, what do you mean your powers aren't working?" She gestured for him to lead the way to his secret spot.

Kijani looked to the stage as some exceedingly peppy girl spoke into the microphone. She winced slightly. Couple's Dance? Oh, great. She looked sideways at Connor, shrugging slightly. "Uhm... do you- I mean, we're not a... couple, but. um..." She started to toy with a single loose dreadlock that framed her face. "...I will if you will."

OH, by the way.To make myself even sadder, I'm posting as Caits for a bit in the ball. It's the slow-dance part soon. Couples together. ;D

*calmly hugs Dioxide* Valentine's Day is full of shit. I can tell you that because I've seen it from both sides now. Me and my boyfriend of almost 7 years don't even celebrate it. It's all about price gouging and making people feel like shit if they don't get the 'perfect' gift or roses or chocolates or diamonds.

I don't like flowers, the chocolates in the heart-shaped box are filled with disgusting crap like coconut, and a diamond is just a shiny rock.

When you get that true love, that real love? None of that bullshit is going to matter. You can spend the day on the couch with your lover, making fun of romantic movies- or you could spend the day apart. One day is not going to change what you've got.

TL;DR;
Valentine's Day ain't worth getting upset over. Real love is out there and it doesn't come in a box.

"Uh...well." He looked down at the flowers feeling like a fool. "Actually, no" he looked up, took a breath, "I guess they are for you" he continued quickly, "a thank you, even though you have spoiled noodles for me with real food. It was very good food" you are such a fool, he thought to hinself

Kijani blinked several times, as if she hadn't heard him. "For... me?" To her surprise (and horror) her face started to go dark with a blush. "Oh... wow... no one's ever... done anything nice for me like that." A wobbly smile appeared on her face, and she fought down the little voice in her head that wondered 'what's the catch?'. "You're..." She bit her lip, suddenly feeling very out of her comfort zone. "Uhm... thanks." She gestured toward the dance floor. "Shall we? You and me will be the best dressed people in here."

Kijani chuckled. "So do you. You clean up very well, Mr. Stark." She gestured to the flowers. "Who're those for? Some special geeky girl in a gown?" She wouldn't be surprised if he had a date. He would be a nice guy for a nice girl.

Kijani headed to the entrance, seeing many students doing the same. Many of them she didn't recognize. She caught a glimpse of white out of the corner of her eye, and looked. And then did a double take. "...Connor?!" She was caught off guard- unlike Anthony who always dressed well, and herself who preferred the high-end of things, she'd never seen Connor in anything more fancy than a pair of worn blue jeans. But this...

"...you look..." Surprising. Astounding. Delectable. "...good." Really good.

John frowns, "I'm not sure. I could show you the place I relax each night before going to my dorm."

Anthony replies coolly, "I'd have called her, but she can't speak." At the comment about Sue adding his mind, he chuckles, "Something like that. And thank you for the suggestion, I just might do that." He hangs up and takes a shower before getting dressed. He then drives to the Academy. After sneaking into the girls' dorm, he walks to Sue's room and knocks on the door.

Devika nodded and stood up, adjusting her glasses. She could hear the thumping of the dance music all the way from here, a low, rumbling bass. "Sure. As long as it's quiet."

Kijani made it to the auditorium, the music already getting her head nodding. Tonight was going to be awesome, she just knew it. "Now... dance floor or food?" She felt confident and beautiful in her dress.

Jinny frowned. She hadn't thought of that at all. "Uhm... well, maybe I get the truck and you distract the guy?" She shrugged. "I know how to fix cars pretty good, and I know which pedal does what. Maybe you pretend you need help or somethin', I mean, you're already bleeding and stuff, so.. as long as you don't have a weapon maybe he'll be..." She struggled for a word. "Less wanting to shoot you?" She shrugged, wishing she could think of something better.
