Whoa. [she heard stomping going on in here, which attracted her to the room. her eyes get real huge, and she leans against the door frame, watching him go. the second he's done, she whoops!]
That was awesome! Is that a game?

Fuck yes I want to play. How do you do it? Is - it's the arrows, right?
[she hoists herself up and over to examine the mat.]
[she hoists herself up and over to examine the mat.]
Yup. They show up on the screen, and you step on them when they line up at the outline at the top. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it, if you're quick on your feet. Are you? [ just by that hoist he's gonna guess yeah. ]
[ he starts clicking through the songs! ] You wanna start slow? Or pick something faster.
[ he starts clicking through the songs! ] You wanna start slow? Or pick something faster.
You could say that. [she says, grinning.]
Go fast. Really just throw me in there, I'll pick it up.

[ ichiro looks immediately pleased by this answer. +10 cool points ]
Hah. Alright, bet. That's what I'm talkin' about.
[ he piiiicks this one. it's kinda weeby so yeah of course, but also - ] Starts slow, but the beat picks up quick.
[ he scrolls around to the difficulty he wants, and then goes to hit start!!! let's go hit some arrows baby ]

[oh shit
WELL. she's kind of awful at it at first because she's never seen a TV in her life, but like. once she figures out what she's supposed to be doing with the arrows, and where they're supposed to hit? she goes from fail fail fail to perfect perfect perfect pretty quick. girl's got a high dex and intelligence score, DDR is no problem.]

[ okay well he's not expecting her to pick it up THAT quick so ichiro keeps peeking over at the screen while he's hitting his own notes, his grin widening and widening.
when the song ends and they both get the CLEAR! message he whistles, long and low, and leans back against the metal bar. his score's higher but like, of course. ] Damn, girl, you weren't kidding! Are you a secret breakdancer or something?

[she gives another little whoop at the CLEAR! message, and copies him in leaning, grinning wildly. she's barely out of breath.]
Nah, I just know where to put my feet. [she gives a lazy salute.] This shit's fun. Intense! But fun.

Yeah. There are dudes back home who can do it like - across both sets of pads, doing tricks and stuff like that. It's crazy.
[ this is really fun actually so he just
grins ]
You wanna go again? [ time to keep all of winter dorm awake all night with ddr stomping ]

... I'm gonna learn how to do that. [she promises!]
And yeah? Fucking absolutely let's do it. Was that your favorite song on here? [she's already leaning forward to look.]

It's one of the best ones. Pick whatever sticks out to you, though. Might as well broaden your music horizons while you're at it, right?
[ ichiro leans back against the railing, grinning. ] And as soon as you learn? You gotta teach me. I can breakdance, but I can't get that down pat.

[ this is art class. ichiro's got his coloring book in front of him, his colored pencils, and is looking at his coloring image of some flowers, i guess, because why not. he looks ... not confused, but more like "why are we doing this right now" as he looks at the big old box of colored pencils. ]
Y'know... I kind of thought college would be different.

[she reaches over to brofist him? that's a promise.]
Okay, but you have to teach me how to breakdance? Whatever the fuck that is.
[and then they bonded with DDR because idk how to write DDR action tags and also we have this new thread]

[she glances over at him from where she's scribbling on a piece of paper. it's a unicorn. a tiny one.]
I've never been so I have no idea. [...] I mean, I don't hate it. At least it's not the terrifying cat movie.

[ he winces a little. ] Ugh. I just got the image of that out of my head, Beau...
[ those cats and that soundtrack might both haunt him. ] I guess I expected more textbooks over coloring books. [ but that's fine?? this could be a lot worse. again: it could be more cats. ] What're you drawing?

It's stuck in mine so you have to suffer too.
[like real friends! anyway.] A tiny unicorn? I've never actually seen one, but Jester talks about them all the time.

[ terrible rowdy friendship means he kicks her leg under the table. not too hard bc he's a nice boy but still ]
Huh. [ he's leaning over to look at the unicorn...] You're the second person who's talked to me about one of those since we got here. Apparently, Adora made one with a sword, somehow.
[ ?? ] I guess hers had wings? I dunno.

Owfuck. [beau huffs under her breath at the kick, but it's out of reflex because it doesn't actually hurt. she shoves him back a little, grinning.]
Isn't that technically a pegasus? If it has wings. Whatever - I didn't know that, that's cool. I'll have to ask her about it.

Think she said it was called an Alicorn? I don't know.
[ he's gonna doodle his attempt at a unicorn in the corner of his paper, also. it's. passable? it's nothing special. looks kind of more like a pig than a horse but that's ok. ]
She's pretty cool. [ adora, anyway. ] All the people in our dorm are. It's kinda crazy to be living with girls, though.

[she leans over to draw little wings on it and also a half eaten cupcake next to it.]
It's mostly girls in mine, except for Rupert. I'm actually more used to being surrounded by dudes. Are you not used to living with girls?

[ he gives the unicorn a laser beam shooting out of its horn. why not. ]
Not really. I mean, I grew up with just my brothers, but - all the girls pretty much live in Chuuoku. No women hoof it out in the divisions unless they've got family out there, and even then.
Life's supposed to be better there. At least, they aren't having to fight for territory and shit all the time.

[oh hell yeah]
Huh. [there's so much there she's not sure where to start with it] Fight for territory? Is that something you have to do a lot?
