River was spinning around in one place, arms oustretched. "Almost like flying a spaceship."

"But you already know how to 'tap dance'," Cassandra told Amber as she continued to follow along, learning how to do it herself.

"Oh yes, but this has taken me years of practice," excplained Amber. "A spaceship! That's funny!"

Re: General Mingling

"I have one," River informed her. "Am a good pilot." She was still spinning.

Re: General Mingling

Cassandra nodded in confirmation of River's statement before grinning at Amber, "Makes you a good teacher."

Wait. What? Amber faultered slightly in her yay!fun tap dancing and stared at both girls. "Seriously?"

Re: General Mingling

River stopped spinning, her arms still outstretched. She grinned and nodded.

The problem with mimicking someone else's dancing is that when they falter, so do you. As her steps grow a bit awkward, Cassandra nods again, "Yep. Dancing with no gravity is fun."

[I can't spell today, shh..]

Amber blinked and wondered if these two girls were just having fun at her expense. They had seemed genuine. How could anyone own a spaceship? How could a teenager pilot a spaceship? How could you dance with no gravity. This was all so... TV-ish!

"I'm... I'm just a little bit confused?"

"I'll show you some day. It's in the junk yard. Built by squirrels." River tilted her head, looking a little concerned. "This is not an attempt to trick you."

Re: General Mingling

"Fandom," Cassandra tried to explain solemnly, "Is a very weird place."

Re: General Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Okay, okay, oh my gosh a lot to take in," she said. "Rikku told me it was weird, I just never expected-" Squirrels? Was it some kind of nutship? Like a mini something or other?

Amber looked at River. "Trick me? No, oh, no, I wouldn't think that. Okay, I did think that but not in a bad way." Cassandra's solemn tone worried her a little.

"Should I be expectin' weird things all the time?"

Re: General Mingling

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Yes." There was only one obvious answer to that, after all.

Re: General Mingling

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"Most of it's not bad," Cassandra offered. "Just... weird."

Re: General Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Well, I suppose it's not like I've never dealt with weird before. I did work in a morgue," she said, nodding a bit.

Re: General Mingling

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River nodded. "Dead bodies can be disconcerting. Like dinosaurs."

[Bedtime for me! Night!]

Re: General Mingling

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra frowned, Amber might not be able to tell that it's not directed at her. "I don't like dead bodies."

Re: General Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber was already nodding before she caught Cassandra's frown. "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry. I don't normally talk about dead bodies. It's just what I do, or did. Frankly I don't like the smell."

[Night!]
