Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

Who: Wanda Maxiomff, Kate Bishop, + Anyone who wants to show up
What: Club HQ's grand opening
When: January 31st
Where: HQ (Across the road from house 14)
Summary: Kate and Wanda finally unveil their Nightclub.
Rating: PG to PG-13.

[After a lot of preparation, opening night for Luceti's newest club is finally here. The music is loud and insistent, the kind where you have to shout a bit to be heard above the noise. Flashing, moving lights above reveal the purple decor, mostly devoid of chairs, and plenty of room to dance. A well stocked bar should be able to provide liquid courage to anyone too nervous to shake there groove-thang sober, while a patio out back affords a space for anyone wanting to have more intimate (or just quieter) interactions. ~~There's also a coat room, for anyone looking for a warmer spot for intimate interactions.~~

The doors open at seven, and will stay open until two am-- plenty of time to drink, dance, talk and generally have a good time. When the DJs aren't spinning, a house mix is put on, so there's never a quiet moment.]

[Given the volume of the music, Wanda doesn't actually hear his comment, and continues dancing, like the flame of a flickering candle. Being in contact with him makes her heart beat hard and fast-- just touching him, never mind remembering what happened on that boat ride.

She's so lost to her own thoughts and sensations, it takes her a bit longer to actually input that he's no longer moving as much as he was when she first touched him. Opening her eyes and pausing in her own dancing, she tilts her head at him, curiously, nervously.]

... are you ok?

[And then he makes some jittering arm motions to assure here.]

Me? Fine! I'm fine! You're fine! I mean - I am!

[She's a little startled by the sudden dance!arms, withdrawing her hand from his body for the first time (in what seems like far too short a time) since she first connected with him. Her hand does remain up and hovering though.]

We... both are. Right?

[He lowers his arms, flustered. Briefly glancing at where her hand just was. He'd gotten oddly used to it.]

We are? I mean um- right! We... We're the finest people around!

[She also lowers her hand now. How can she go from feeling so brave to shy in such a quick moment?]

... I'll agree with that! [Stupid, goofy, smile. She feels like an idiot around him, but... She doesn't feel bad about it. And usually she does.] ... Um. Did you want to get something to drink?

[He looks around uncertainly. He's felt perpetually shy, smiling weakly as he points to himself.]

Me? I don't know, should I? [He still feels a buzz from the previous drink.] I'm - I'm messing up, aren't I.

... If you are, I can't tell. ... I don't-- even know what you could be messing up. ... You-- always seem to land on your feet, no matter what. [Ok, Wanda knows for a fact that's not true, but she means it in a good way, honestly!] And-- you move well. Dance. Good! I mean.

Thanks! Really, that means a lot from you. [He rubs at the back of his neck.] I guess it helps that my feet are below me, huh?

Not always.... Sometimes they're over your head. ... When you're hanging from your tail. But you still move just as nicely. [She's trying to be complementary. Really!]

I- I try to! [He says with a nervous laugh.] If you had a tail, I bet I wouldn't be half as charming! [And he's not even sure where he's going with this.]

[That's ok, Wanda is just happy to be talking with him. She figures he's making perfect sense, and she's just not understanding.]

If I had a tail... We could hang out upside down together. [Could. Y'know. Maybe. Sometime. If you wanted.]

[It's kind of weird but also kind of oddly endearing to imagine at the same time.]

Really? I guess I can't say no to just hanging around. And hey, just think of all the tails you can tell!

[It takes her second to get it, but when she does, she lights up, laughing.] Haah! Oh! [No literally, lights up, her aura flickering, cheerfully.]

God... you're-- so funny. You've got to teach me how to tell jokes like that.

[She flicks her hands, as if trying to get the glowing aura of it, causing a few blue ghost-like fish to appear in mid air, and go swimming off, apparently not bothered by their non-aquatic environment.]

Really? [He beams at the compliment.] You know, maybe I can admit you into Wagner University. You'll get the coolest education you could hope for.

[But then he blinks and stares as he notices the fish swimming off.]

[Wanda doesn't really acknowledge the fish. Weird shit is kind of par for the course, and they fade from existence (or get lost in the flashing club lights) not to far from where they popped into being.]

I'm-- always eager to learn. Especially from such a-- high ranking University.

[He blinks as they disappear. And he wonders if he's had too much to drink. But it's not too bad, as long as he feels lighter and more fun now. Kurt smirks at her mischievously.]

You don't say. How about you lay a joke on me right now, it may just earn you a scholarship!

Uhmm... Uhh-- I want to say, something... about a Chicken? Because you just said "Lay," and chickens lay eggs. ... and chickens are funny.

[She flounders a bit with the elements, screwing up her face while she thinks.]

Whaaat do you think I am? The Joke-Chicken?

[And that, sadly, was her current best attempt. ]

[He can't help but laugh a little at that. She sure did try.]

Okay, okay. I guess that was... kind of eggcellant! Just remember not to count your jokes before they hatch.

... Ooh! [She practically lights up as she finally thinks of a joke. And maybe even a good one!] Oooh!

I-- shouldn't be putting all my joke attempts in one basket? Then?

[Maybe good is stretching it. But she feels clever, at least, even if it is only a poorly re-worded version of his own joke.

Regardless, she laughs, grinning happily at him. It's not often that Wanda enjoys herself this much.]

This is fun-- I like this!

[Maybe. But Kurt guffaws anyway - and he lends a helping hand.]

Unless it happens to be Easter!

[It's definitely something he didn't expect with the girl who was once their enemy, but there's no denying that he's having a great time.]

I'm having a blast, too! And I'm really glad that you are!

[A person can practically see the wheels turning as she tries to come up with a response joke. Easter Bunny? Easter Rabbit? No, no, best to stick with eggs. This is hard, but she's delighting in the challenge.] Of course, Easter... Leave it to you to think of that. You're-- such an egg-head?

[Ehhh? Ehhhh???

She laughs at her own joke, and does a little twirl to a shift in the music, before smiling, genuine and pure.] I always have fun with you. ... You're fun. And funny. ... I like you.

I do like to think of things sunny-side up! [He adds with a snarky smirk.

But wow. Like. That's a heavy word, as he lightly moves along to the music. His own smile his nervous and flustered.]

Whoa... R-really? I never thought I'd have this much fun with you. I mean... I like you, too!

Good. ... ... Eggs-cellent.

[She's starting to get the hang of it, though she's still not very quick. She just smiles at him, eyes sparkling in the flashing club lights, moving to the music; She can't really all out dance when she's trying to think this hard, but she can still keep time.]
