Chapter Four: Normalcy [Accidental Video]

[breaksmybones]

[Surprise! Surprise! A broadcast not about the veggie menace. The video bleeps on with a very close up image of Claire adjusting the camera of her Dreamberry, unaware that what she was going to record for the high school cheering squad has become a public broadcast. She backs off, satisfied that the image wasn't crooked

[ JUST ENJOYING THE VIEW, THANKS. ]

[breaksmybones]

[And Claire will continue being unaware! :D She was mostly working on the dance choreography itself rather than the stunts. She does a pirouette and moves on kneeling on the ground, her arms pumping and thrusting to the rhythm.]

[tastysidedish]

[ Ahh, but it's kind of creeping to just stare at a girl, isn't it? He's not one of those weirdos! ]

You're pretty good at that!

[breaksmybones]

[If that went on a little longer then, yes. It's going into creeper territory.

Claire looks up, a brief moment of confusion passes through her face and then was replaced by her trying to mask her annoyance by wearing a rather thin smile. She turns off the music and goes pick the Dreamberry up in her hand.]

Thanks. I was co-captain of my squad back home.

[tastysidedish]

Co-captain? Wow, that's really impressive! I'd never be able to do anything like that. If you had to say I was in a club, it would be the "go home" club!

[breaksmybones]

... [Raises an eyebrow.] The "go home" club?

[tastysidedish]

I wasn't a part of any clubs or teams in high school. I went straight home!

[breaksmybones]

[She gives a laugh at that. Zach definitely belongs to that club.]

That's a very good name for it.

[tastysidedish]

[ Her laugh is really cute! He scratches his head meekly. It's really not all that special~ ]

Do you really think so? Eh heh... Thanks! I'm Hideki, by the way.

[breaksmybones]

We really didn't have a name for it back home, so. [she shrugs.]

I'm Claire.

[tastysidedish]

Nice to meet you, Claire! So was that all of your routine?

[breaksmybones]

Likewise. Not all of it. Just messing around with it a little.

[tastysidedish]

You mean all of that just now was improv?

[breaksmybones]

Yup. Coach wanted to shake up an old routine. I told them I got experience and here we are.

[tastysidedish]

He must trust you a lot to put you in charge. I don't know much about cheerleading but it looks great, if you ask me!

[breaksmybones]

Huh. Thanks. That actually means a lot.
