awashlogs | [open] It's a (very belated) birthday log!

WHO: Kaoru, Shiho and friends
WHERE: Town hall
WHEN: Last week of February
WHAT: It's Shiho's birthday
WARNINGS: None probably.

I: Food!

[What is a party without food? Kaoru can't cook but she happens to know people who can! There's even a cake! She may have borrowed a table from another house for the purpose of keeping the food.

Though, oddly enough, there's also a small card (all of them different colour and sizes, some of them looked like they'd been gently folded then ripped along the fold) beside each dish with a number on it. There's also a list (all handwritten in pink), with the same numbers all listed on one side and lines beside it like something you should fill out.

On the top it says: Guess Who Made This Dish!

Are you here to play or are you just here to eat?]

II: Games!

[There is a hastily written sign on one side that says: NO DANCING.

But every party needs entertainment so beside there is a sign with game suggestions like: Truth or Dare, Never Have I Ever...or maybe you'd like to take your list from the food table and see if you got more correct than the person beside you!]

--But, ah, it's been really fun seeing and learning various dances!

[ She's more fascinated by it? Really? Her world does apparently have some "idol" dances made by the Nopon community, but she's not really aware of them. ]

[She nods. It makes sense if she didn't have idols where she came from. And it just proved again that love of idols was universal.]

Idols are amazing so I don't blame you.

[She reaches out to take Pyra's hand to drag her somewhere with a bit more space.] Do you only want to learn the dance or do you also want to learn the song?

[ You know what... ] Why not both? I have time.

[ ALL THE TIME. It's not like she's going anywhere. ] Consider me your student in dance. [ Have a little, cute salute. ]

[Look, they'll start any minute now but first she's going tackle Pyra with a hug. Don't worry, the impact is surprisingly soft and unlikely to knock anyone over!]

How can you be this cute!? You're so cute I could just die!

[ Wha--

Oh, a hug! Pyra is excellent with hugs, so even though one coming to her so suddenly and unexpectedly throws her off, she keeps her balance and a moment later her arms will go around Kaoru to return it! ] ....Oh--.... Cute? Me.....?

[ A giggle escapes her, adding to the brightness of her smile. ] Ah-- K-Kaoru, you're making me blush! [ She'll definitely be staying in this hug as long as Kaoru wants to, because why not. ] Hehe~, but thank you.

I should be the one saying that to you as well, you know.

I'm only telling the truth~!

[She's embarrassing like that! And she giggles too, because she's never doubted that she was, indeed, cute.]

We can both be adorable!

[She's happy to hug Pyra for...quite a while, actually. The only reason she pulls back is because she can't teach her to dance like this.] The dance I'm going to show you is supposed to be for three people, but it should be fine with just two too!

[ Pyra is so ready for the dance. ] Okay--....

Um... five, six, seven, eight?

[As soon as Pyra says okay, Kaoru is getting into position to start the dance.

She counts in her head along with Pyra and then starts. She does the song and the dance but makes sure it's slower than usual so Pyra can see. Of course, since she's not teaching, she's not going to do the whole dance at once. She stops at the first chorus.]

How was that so far?

[ THEY'RE DOING THIS. THEY'RE ACTUALLY DOING THIS.

Pyra watches her as attentively as any student would, completely enchanted by the song. It's so-- so up-beat, it's like watching cotton candy being spun and dyed at the fair! ]

...I think I got it, actually. [ Pyra is a quick learner, especially when it comes to doing an activity with someone. It also helps that it's not the most complicated of dances... and it seems that it could also allow for some leeway for improvisation? Pyra copies some of the dance moves to demonstrate what she's learned. There's so much energy and skipping in this dance that it's... actually really, really fun! ] Like that?

[ She'll move to be two arm's length behind her. ] Okay... I might be able to learn on the go. I'll just follow your moves!

[She takes a moment to clap.] Exactly! You're a natural at this!

[She's having a lot of fun! So she's more than happy to keep going.] Let's go all the way to the end then!

[So she picks up from where they left off, but keeps the same speed.] We should do this again with Shiho! It'll be great to be able to do this dance with three girls again! [Since she keeps dragging guys into this.]

[ It's not only fun, it's actually aerobic! She feels as if she's getting a work-out too. Why didn't she bother to learn anything like this in her own world? The Nopon had dances like these, she thinks.... ]

Oh, like a group? [ Oh-- oops, in her excitement, she missteps! But not two counts later, and she's back on track. ] That sounds like fun.

How did you learn of this dance, anyway?

Yeah! And we could give ourselves a name too! [Because every idol group needs a name!

Because they're an idol group now.]

Oh, you know. It's just one of those songs everyone knows where we're from. [Because it's the anime's opening theme.]
