Backwater Nexus. Mall. Let's Rock and Ride!

[misslucysleeches]

Lucy approaches the mall with just a little trepidation, smoothing out her dress (bright green with yellow flowers on the skirt -- and it's just over knee length, so a certain little pitcher needn't worry if she's around tonight) and making sure her hair is pulled back neatly in its ponytail. Silver's mention of the Rock N Ride nights at the mall stuck with her even after her return to her own world. So, after a rather annoying day trying to make sure her passport was up-to-date, she's decided it's time to seek out some fun and see what else this Nexus has to offer. "Just hope they accept regular old American dollars," she mumbles, patting her purse by her side as she reaches the front entrance. (Nothing in her vast array of literature suggested they wouldn't, but discretion, valor, etc.)

"Change his mind?" Lucy echoes. "Don't see why he would have. . ." Unless there was something big going on that she doesn't know about. Which is a definite possibility. Also, to avoid pokes she'll start dancing too -- nothing fancy, just some side steps with some arm movement.

"Scarlett's not as self confident as she could be," says Sabrina, her quiet tone making it clear that her words are not a condemnation. "But Shadowmaru is working on correcting that."

"Uh huh," says Destiny absently, but she's mostly busy clicking to herself as she dances, with the odd English or Japanese word mixed in.

"Ahhhh," Lucy says with a little nod. "I understand that. Usually I'm all gung-ho about just everything, but there was a period in my life where -- well, let's just say I made some bad decisions, and the self-esteem took a blow." She shrugs and puts on a smile. "Wish Scarlett the best of luck with conquering that."

Sabrina smiles too, the expression holding quiet sympathy and understanding. Then she pauses and looks toward the stage as the music changes smoothly from 'Waka Laka's' bouncy silliness to the roaring rumble of Rob Zombie's 'Dragula'.

"Eeee!" Alicia throws herself into dancing, belly dance moves mixed in with booty shaking and hand movements as she tosses her hair. Power Joe is now energetically headbanging, and Destiny is shaking her booty in sync with Susana, who is laughing softly as she shares the fun moment with the young girl.

Lucy nods, then looks over to the stage as well as the Zombie song starts up. Although it's hard to concentrate on the singer when there's someone shaking her groove thing like Alicia's doing so close to you. Lucy hides a laugh at the way everyone just throws themselves into the music. Not that she isn't going to do the same -- no headbanging on her part, but she'll definitely shake those hips.

There's a gentle bump on her side opposite to Power Joe that is plainly to let her know that someone has come to stand there. It's Raoul, returned to dance with family and friends, and holding a little tiny Japanese girl child in his arms as he boogies in what can be only called classic baby dance. The little girl in his arms is a tiny six or seven, with a little round face and soft black hair that's been made into curls and then gently tied into two ponytails with Hello Kitty elastics. She's wearing an adorable little purple hoodie with pretty jeans and little purple shoes, and she smiles sleepily at Lucy as Raoul dances with her.

Between Raoul and Alicia another young girl is now dancing, a face that seems to be usually serious now bright with fun. Her hoodie and jeans match those of the tiny child, but her shoes are a pair of grey and purple Vibram Five Fingers Entradas.

Destiny clicks at the newcomers, and Sabrina and Susana smile, but everyone's too busy dancing to say much.

Lucy looks over at the bump, then moves over to give Raoul and his little guest some more room. "Hey," she says, grinning at the pair as they boogie next to her. "Found a friend, huh?" She gives the older newcomer a wave before going back to getting her own groove thing on. She's reasonably certain that all necessary introductions will be made once everyone's all danced out. In the meantime, fun!
