[D7, EE] It would sure suck if I got kidnapped after this

[Kaiu Nagisa]

"Mmm, I can come up with other ideas as well." Ichitaiyo replied with a wink, knowing well what she meant: Dancing!

Okay, maybe she just wanted to tease the poor Kaiu a little bit more.

"Anywho, are you ready to dance?"

“What do you me-” Nagisa catches herself mid-questioning as the implication absolutely turns her face bright red. Teasing successful, though it’s not exactly a hard task.

Yep, time to take that offered out of this train of thought. “Yes, I am very ready to dance now!”

Ichitaiyo drifted over to the radio and changed the music to something more conventional, with a harder bass to set the pace. The inspector let go of the mechanic, a few steps away to show the motions of her body.

"The core to EDM is the knee-chest coordination. Those set the pace."

To the beat, her knees bent down and up, not much unlike a piston. It hit it's apex at the right time. The upper body was stiff, ensuring that Nagina focused on the right spot.

There’s a little part of Nagisa, the frankly very loud little part that won’t shut up, that is disappointed that she let go of her. Again, another problem for future Nagisa to deal with!

In the now, she pays close attention to Ichitaiyo’s movements and nods at her explanation. “Oh. That makes sense… Ummm…”

She listens to the music, figuring out the timing, and proceeds to try her hand, or knees in this case, at getting the rhythm down.

"See? It's easy. Tum. Tum. Tum. And now let's add the whole other second motion." And Ichitaiyo began to pump her chest forward and forth, with a careful eye noticing that rather, her motions were originated by a combination of her shoulders going back and forwards, with just a gentle tilting movement from her upper back.

The combined result would be that her body shifted between wholly straight, and two gentle curves, knees forward and chest inwards, coming together to add their combined energies to the motion.

OOC: Not me, watching 'how to dance edm' videos to research. not at all.

Noting the shoulder movements seem to be a key component, Nagisa quickly realizes how tense she was when she tries it for herself. There’s an audible pop followed by a good amount of the tension she didn’t realize she even had dissipated. Her shoulders felt way more loose now and confidence has been restored!

“I guess you were right about how tense I was…” She mutters before going back to watching the movements, taking them in and trying each, eventually getting to something that could be called actual progress.

The pop broke Ichitaiyo's rhythm for a moment, unable to hide the moment's wince before going on. And by the sudden change of attitude, it just seemed like the woman just had some kind of chakra pile-up-on-an-arterial-urban-highway issue that loosened.

"Good. You're doing good. Now, let's keep this step, practice it until you don't have to think about it. And from there.. you improvise. Let go."

“I’m doing good?” The Kaiu perks up, still practicing. Nagisa likes the feeling of making progress, but also getting confirmation of said progress? Now that’s a mood booster.

Note to herself: Praise.

"Very good, Kaiu-san, just keep it up, start waving your hands a little. Let's talk as we dance." Ichitaiyo responded, now adding a little wave some side to side to her step.

"So, got any grand plans to life? Or just taking it as it goes?"

Adding a few extra motions to the practice is easy enough for the Kaiu. “Grand plans? Not really. I don’t really like to worry about things outside the scope of my control, y’know?”

"It doesn't have to be epic for the scale of the galaxy, just grand enough for you. A wish you want to have. Mine is nothing more than a calm life."

[Kaiu Nagisa]

"It doesn't have to be epic for the scale of the galaxy, just grand enough for you. A wish you want to have. Mine is nothing more than a calm life."

“Huh…” Nagisa wasn’t quite sure what she expected. Still, it does make her think. “Well, I think… I’m the same in that regard. I mean, my life is already pretty calm. Hmmm… I do just want to stay here.”

[Kitsuki Ichitaiyo]

“Huh…” Nagisa wasn’t quite sure what she expected. Still, it does make her think. “Well, I think… I’m the same in that regard. I mean, my life is already pretty calm. Hmmm… I do just want to stay here.”

"More than fair, Nagisa. More than fair. How about a wild dream? Like some kind of specific car or race preparation you want to do." She asked in return. "Maybe own one of those 'Itasha' cars, mm?"

“Race? Huh? You mean like the yearly rally we have around here? I mean, I participate in that every year…” Which reminded Nagisa that it was that time of year again. Her favorite time of the year, in fact! “As far as owning such a vehicle… Mmmm… Yeah, that would be nice. I would probably need a dedicated space to keep it, though. But a nice big garage for just my stuff and not work would be great, to be honest. And a bigger garage for work. And a set of tools for each garage.”

Ichitaiyo smiled to such ambitions, continuing her dance pace. "A race? Have you ever won it?"

[Kaiu Nagisa]

Ichitaiyo smiled to such ambitions, continuing her dance pace. "A race? Have you ever won it?"

“Ah, I have actually done some of the mechanic side stuff for one of the winners a few years back. That helped me get my footing to start my own place. I have also gotten in the driver’s seat a couple times. Didn’t win, but it was a lot of fun.” Nagisa can’t help but smile back.

"Really?" Ichitaiyo gasped as she stopped for a moment, and looked around the garage. "Where is the trophy?"

[Kaiu Nagisa]

"Really?" Ichitaiyo gasped as she stopped for a moment, and looked around the garage. "Where is the trophy?"

“In a sense, you’re standing in it.” The Kaiu takes this chance to grab her beer and take a bit of a sip before placing it back on the shelf. “But really I keep my mechanic trophy back at my apartment.”

Ichitaiyo now reached for her now-warm beer and took other long sip, playfully tapping the garage's floor. "So, who is gonna help you win this year?"

Ichitaiyo now reached for her now-warm beer and took other long sip, playfully tapping the garage's floor. "So, who is gonna help you win this year?"

Oh, right. A team kind of would help doing the whole race thing, huh? Still, that takes her by surprise. “O-oh… Ummm… I don’t quite have anyone. If need be, I think I could find a driver that wants me.”

Ichitaiyo gently slapped Nagina's arm in a form cheer. "Look at you, so much of a cool mechanic that you can have your pick of drivers. So, how long until you show the world who Kaiu Nagisa is again?"
