[It was a normal day. Slightly overcast and wet thanks to yesterday's rain, but Kratos finds this to be a perfect opportunity to escape from his home and cure the cabin fever he's developed. Staying inside and avoiding this... absurd experiment was Kratos' intent, but he just needs some fresh air. Especially after it rained. The air was always

[...What. Just. What.]

Are you guys...okay?

[He just gives her a look. Do they look okay to you?]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Why're you doing that weird dance anyway?

[action]

[salvationfound]

An experiment.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

...Yeah, I can't think of anything else that'd get you to dance. Especially like that.

[smirky smirk.] You want me to let you keep embarrassing yourself? I could always knock you out. ...I think.

[salvationfound]

[Uuugh he wishes he could wipe that smirk off her face. Instead...]

Do something about this.

[corrinesbell]

I dunno if what I've got can beat your angel strength, but I could try? ...I couldn't drag you anywhere afterward though.

[Meanwhile, Presea keeps on dancing, shaking her hips and waving her arms. Her eyes had remained closed for most of Sheena and Kratos' conversation, tuning most of it out, but when she hears that Sheena might attack Kratos...

Oddly, she opens her eyes and sets Sheena with a dramatic threatening look. In Presea's warped mind, not helped by Luceti's strange environment, and the projection of images of her father in the worst of times and places, she'd made the association of Kratos to a sort of father figure - like her own daddy back home. So, if Sheena dares to attack him, she'll strike in return.]

[Nngh. The one time he actually wants someone to end his misery, Presea decides that she likes him enough to be protective of him. Kratos notices her tense body and that glint in her eyes, and it makes him stare in a deadpan way. One could practically see the (...) over his head at that.]

[corrinesbell]

[Sheena does not notice - let's face it, a ... vibe coming from Kratos is nothing new - and moves closer, trying to work out if she can actually do it]

Well? Your choice.

[Sheena, your ninja skills are lacking. Presea's body fights, but not just to stop dancing. She twitches her fingers, balls her fists, and tries desperately to slide towards the female ninja and get her away from her housemate.

It's not working very well, so she just increases her efforts, and stares pointedly at the woman.]

[action]

[salvationfound]

[Kratos' body tries to fight, too, and his own will ends up being strong enough to break one arm out of the cycle enough to hold it out, his hand motioning for her to stop.]

... No. [And he glances at Presea again.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[Sheena looks at Presea now and actually steps back, away from the stare]

Hey! Don't look at me like that, I wasn't gonna do anything. ...But look, didya try covering your ears?

[action]

[not_klonoa]

[She keeps her eyes on Sheena, even when she steps back. She's still trying to fight the dance, and manages one shaky step, before huffing and linefacing again once she begins to dance with fervor again.

Okay, she'll admit... Hate this place. The word she spits out is forced, and she intends something else entirely but--]

Oa-a-a...

[action]

[salvationfound]

[Good, Presea's caught in the dance again. He sighs, his arm returning to its original dancing position, and opens his mouth to tell Sheena that it's pretty hard to do that when he can barely move his arms, but something else comes out instead. Something that's entirely Presea's fault.]

O-la-la...

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[Then Sheena's just going to have to cover his ears for him.]
