Six. [video/action]

Jul 15, 2011 21:58

[Good evening, Thor! If you're bored and flipping through your guide, you may come across the scene of a rather busy dinner show, in a relatively large theatre somewhere. And although you can't see the announcer, you may or may not recognize his voice as one of the ship's many refugees...

Not that it matters. The show is about to begin.]

Welcome ( Read more... )

basch fon ronsenburg, albert wesker

[So, Irene was in the audience for this dance show, expecting some quality showmanship of modern dance. Instead, she gets the lovely knight Basch... doing... whatever that was.
Having no care for the etiquette for televised shows (what's that, even?), Irene spontaneously rises from her seat and glides confidently out onto the dance floor. As she walks she addresses the announcer:]

Clearly, Mister fon Ronsenburg would fare better with a partner. If some classical music could be cued? Thank you.

[Standing before Basch, she smiles up at him.] If I may have this dance, dear?

[Wesker can't help but raise a brow at this woman, but he sees no reason why not. He has to suffer through the tedium of awfulness that's on the stage, too, you know. A nod to one of the people in charge of the comings and goings backstage, and after a brief pause, there's some classical music playing.]

[He can't help but comment.]

I doubt there's a cure for his disease of having two left feet.

Re: [action it is, then] missthewoman July 16 2011, 04:54:15 UTC

Thank you. And, the cure is to have someone doubly in the right. [Just a touch of a joke there for you, dear.]

[action] completeglobal July 16 2011, 04:57:57 UTC

[Clever, Irene. Clever.]

That remains to be seen.

[action] missthewoman July 16 2011, 05:01:29 UTC

[Thank you, thank you, I'm here all night.]
[And indeed it does. Hopefully Basch can at least manage a waltz...]

Re: [action] completeglobal July 16 2011, 05:04:59 UTC

[And not step all over your feet in the process.]

Re: [action] missthewoman July 18 2011, 02:38:41 UTC

[It's... really not going very well, is it.]

Re: [action] completeglobal July 18 2011, 06:09:24 UTC

[No.

And Wesker is not surprised at all.]

Re: [action] missthewoman July 18 2011, 06:25:29 UTC

[Irene sure is. How can a knight not dance? (So when Wesker said that Basch was 'mostly unsuited for any sort of dancing', he really meant 'totally unsuited for any sort of dancing', eh?)

...And she rather hopes that a couple certain gentlemen are not watching this. Else she might never hear the end of it.]

Re: [action] completeglobal July 18 2011, 06:38:45 UTC

[Wesker might have been generous with his phrasing, sure. Just a little. Nonetheless, he is a scientist, and a scientist observes. A scientist also calls it as he sees it. And he saw a very, very bad dancer.]

[He'll just watch with assured amusement as the sight unfolds.

Just as a certain two gentleman would, I'm sure, if they saw this.]

Re: [action] missthewoman July 20 2011, 21:20:22 UTC

[ooc-ish: So glad to be amusing~ The debacle is over now (thank goodness). Any last words before she leaves the room?]

[BRING ON THE ACTION] armorumvigiles July 16 2011, 04:59:13 UTC

[Basch stiffens visibly for a moment (since...well. He still hasn't apologized for...last time), standing in front of her somewhat comically awkwardly, before his chivalry kicks in and he takes her hand.]

...If you would.

[He's not sure how well he'll manage (it's been a LONG time), but he'll...attempt it.]

\o/ missthewoman July 16 2011, 05:05:29 UTC

With pleasure.

[Drawing close to him, she whispers up into his ear,]

I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm a strong dancer, so just be calm and follow the beat.

armorumvigiles July 16 2011, 05:50:22 UTC

[Once again, he stiffens somewhat, but he holds himself in what he remembers to be the 'proper' position, back straight, almost military.]

It has been quite some time.

[And a beat, and then:]

...I apologize for our last meeting. It was indiscreet of me.

missthewoman July 16 2011, 06:10:25 UTC

Relax, dear.
[She moves her hand in a slight circle on his back, intending it to be a soothing gesture, and smiles easily at him.]

And there is nothing to apologize for. We are both consenting adults, and you were quite the gentleman.
So long as you remember my name, I will not take offence at all. [She winks at that. That time had been their first meeting, and quite the whirlwind it had been.]

armorumvigiles July 16 2011, 23:29:29 UTC

...Lady Irene.

[It's spoken softly, as if to say I remember-- politeness on his part, but subtlety as well. He still looks somewhat apologetic, but the music starts and there's really no time for that anymore.

He hesitates, and then takes the first step, and awkward sidestep that's more like a shuffle than anything else.]
