Valentine's Dance 2016, Town Hall, Friday Evening

[goodforsix]

It was the Valentine's Dance and while, unlike some previous years, pollen wasn't in the air (yet), glitter certainly was. Gallon and gallons of it

Dance Floor [VD 2016]

[goodforsix]

Where you can do a jig, shake your booty, or slow dance the night away.

Of course Isabela was on the dance floor. Three guesses which of the above options she wasn't exercising.

"I'm stealing a dance!" Ada yelled over the music, grabbing for Isabela's hand. "Does that make me an honorary pirate?"

Isabela followed Ada in a swirl of skirts. "Indeed it does, sweet thing," she yelled back. "Especially if you don't give me back after."

"Why would I willingly give up such booty?" Ada asked innocently. "I found it first, why should I give it back?"

Re: Dance Floor [VD 2016]

"Exactly the kind of answer a pirate would give," Isabela replied, grinning broadly. "We like to keep our booty close at hand."

Just ask Dante.

Ada most assuredly was not going to ask Dante, because he'd probably make a terrible pun and try to steal the Isabela-booty for himself. Ada was half-sure his middle name was 'shameless' and his last name was 'greedy.'

Not that those were bad traits, but Ada wanted to get one uninterrupted dance with the prize she'd just stolen.

"Oh? And how would I keep my booty close at hand without other pirates stealing it?" she teased. "They'd just get jealous."

Re: Dance Floor [VD 2016]

[goodforsix]

Hey now, Dante could be very good at sharing sometimes, but Isabela wasn't going to bring that up because she understood the value of keeping some prime boot to oneself.

"Well you have to either watch it like a hawk, or actually keep your hands on it," Isabela said, moving to try and place Ada's hands on her hips, because that's what you did when you were dancing. Uh-huh. "Besides letting them be jealous is a feature, because you're showing that you've got the booty and they haven't and there's nothing they can do about it." This attitude was going to result in so many barfights in the future. So many.

Re: Dance Floor [VD 2016]

[boneyard_girl]

You say barfights like it's a bad thing!

Ada was perfectly happy to oblige and place her hands on 'Bela's hips, angled slightly towards the small of her back. "Can't I do both at the same time? Watch it and hold on to it?"

Re: Dance Floor [VD 2016]

They were only bad if you lost. Or had to pick up the tab after.

Isabela grinned and went to put her own hands on Ada's shoulders. "That depends entirely on how flexible you are," she said, because she was terrible at subtle. And just terrible in general.

"I'm a carnival barker, not a contortionist or even a dancing girl," Ada laughed. "I'm flexible enough to be entertaining, and to get in and out of trouble. That's about it."

Re: Dance Floor [VD 2016]

[goodforsix]

Flexible enough to get into trouble seemed exactly Isabela's speed.

"Well, if flexibility's an issue, then it's all about positions."

Re: Dance Floor [VD 2016]

[boneyard_girl]

"Isabela, you might be a pirate queen, but I'm a carnie princess," Ada informed her. "No one knows more about moving people into exactly the position that you want them in than I do."

Sharp as a con and pretty as a midway morning. It ran in the family.

Re: Dance Floor [VD 2016]

[goodforsix]

Well, that was a smirk and a half on Isabela's face. "Really? I do hope I get the chance to find out."

Considering that Ada's dress was basically made for twirling and dancing, this was where you'd find her most of the evening, with her curls tumbling wildly down her back while she danced and sparkled the night away.
