Room 516, Wednesday Late Afternoon

[thewrathofkaan]

Roscoe was feeling antsy.

After the pony drama was over, there wasn't much going on - not even weird shit he could be angry at. It was just... quiet.

He didn't like it. Quiet meant he had to think about his family and what he was doing here and how much it would suck to go back home for school in the fall.

So he made an executive decision to liven things up on his own. The nightlife in Cheesytown left a lot to be desired, but there was always Portalocity. He could get to Baltimore that way, find a club and spend the night not thinking about anything or anyone (well, maybe someone if it was the right someone).

With that decision made, he dumped his makeup bag out on his desk and started refining his Look for tonight. Nothing made a better distraction than making himself look hot.

Ringo was singing loudly as she went down the hall. Some upbeat modern Japanese rock thing with complicated syncopation. Shocking no one, she was just coming back from an AT run, and looked like she was having a pretty great day.

She was going to swing by her room and grab a change of clothes before taking a quick shower, but open doors meant people, and Ringo liked people, so she was poking her head into room 516 and looking around curiously.

[thewrathofkaan]

Roscoe was just in the middle of dabbing body glitter around the portion of his chest that could be seen above his shirt, so. Hi, Ringo!

"That's a cool song," he said, looking up from his very serious body glitter project to grin at Ringo. "What is that?"

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo beamed. "This new band my sister told me I had to check out." She rolled her eyes fondly. "It's definitely Mikan's style of music."

"I could send you a link to some of their stuff if you want?"

Then she looked Roscoe up and down curiously. "Looking good. Any special occasion?"

[thewrathofkaan]

"Yeah, for sure. You make it sound good," he said with a corny grin. "Figured I'd hit the town tonight. It's getting really boring now that we all have two legs again, don't you think?"

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo giggled. "I don't know about boring." She glanced down at her feet. "I've basically been trying to make up for lost AirTrek time, myself." For someone who probably spent two or three hours on an average day riding, not riding for a week had been rough.

She cocked her head slightly. "But you're getting all dressed up for, um Cheesytown, or whatever?"

[thewrathofkaan]

"Not this town." Roscoe smirked. "Got a portal to Baltimore. You wanna come?"

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Hmm." Ringo considered that for a moment, then shrugged. "Sure!" She grinned. "Sounds fun." And it'd been a while since she'd been to Baltimore, anyway.

Wait.

"Um, you're not in a hurry, are you? I should, you know, probably shower and get ready and stuff, and I don't want you to have to wait around or whatever."

[thewrathofkaan]

Roscoe laughed. "Nah. I just get impatient with wanting to get my look together and then I wind up sitting around with my makeup done for hours." Short-sighted of him, but he figured it was better than not getting glammed up at all. "We can go whenever. Portals'll wait, you know?"

He shrugged one shoulder. "Are you a club kinda person, or should we try to find something more low key?"

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Well," Ringo looked awkward for a moment, then shook that off. "I've done clubs?" Like, once or twice. "So I'm cool with that?" She was trying to look and sound a lot more confident than she was. Not because she didn't like the idea, but because she just didn't really have much practice at the whole clubbing thing.

[thewrathofkaan]

Roscoe was mildly amused by that answer. "Are you sure?" he said, since she deserved a chance to back out. "I like the dancing and the loud music but it's not for everyone."

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Dancing and loud music is totally fine with me!" Ringo grinned. "And I'm getting better with big crowds of people I where I don't know anyone."

She flashed Roscoe a smile. "Besides, I know you, and you'll be there, so I'm sure it'll be fine!"

[thewrathofkaan]

"Okay, good," Roscoe said, more amused now. "I totally don't believe what you said at the party about not knowing how to dance, by the way. You definitely have moves, I can tell."

The balance on her ATs told him that much.

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Well," Ringo grinned. "I might know a move or two." She'd been learning a few break dancing moves from online videos because they looked fun to add to her AirTrek repertoire. Shrug. "But I don't really practice enough to be, you know, good at them."

[thewrathofkaan]

"You wanna know a secret?" Roscoe said, setting the mirror aside and flopping down to take a seat on his bed. He patted the space beside him for Ringo to sit next to him, if she wanted. "Being good at dancing isn't even a thing. As long as you're confident and you just keep moving, and you don't just do that white guy foot-shuffle thing, you're gonna be good."

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo stepped in and sat down without hesitating, glancing over at Roscoe with a grin. "That white guy foot-shuffle thing?" She didn't sound like she knew what that was, exactly, but Ringo was still pretty sure she didn't do whatever it was.
