video; DANCE, MAGIC, DANCE?

[negativegate]

Hmph! You're all a bunch of amateurs!

[Someone's angry! It may have something to do with her unique fashion getting rejected...

And speaking of unique fashion, Rita's dress probably wouldn't be too bad if she hadn't paired it with a yellow loose-sleeved shrug, a pair of mismatched stockings--one thigh-high of pink mesh, one knee-high matching the dress pattern--and black and gold boots.]

Now watch, because this'll probably be the best lesson you're gonna get.

--Hey, come over here!

[She grabs for someone off screen--Tyr--to help her demonstrate. He's wearing a Chinese-style outfit...with fluffy dog ears and a tail. And there's the unmistakeable click-clack of high heels when he moves.]

Okay! Hold on already!

[All dance routines get off to a good start with both dancers frowning at each other.]

This is why the judges didn't like us...

They're just jealous! Or they just want publicity from bad dancers. Let's show them how it's done!

[Music starts playing! And Rita grabs for Tyr's hands...then leads him in the dance, while he tilts his upper body back a little, like he's swooning. Which might look a little weird when he's taller than her.

Are they human, or are they dancing?!

Well, they're not dancing when somebody trips or leans too far and they both topple over, out of sight of the camera, and Tyr makes an undignified cry of surprise, followed by a screech from Rita.]

Th-that didn't happen!

[ Truly, his troll-powers are magnificent. ]

Am not.

To infinity.

[ The most mature and deadly assassin. ]

[negativegate]

Argh-!

[Yeah well infinity PLUS ONE OKAY]

I-I don't care what you say!

[mortemscintilla]

[ You can't PLUS ONE infinity! ]

Fine. Don't believe it.

But it's true.

[negativegate]

[She can do whatever she wants!! DX]

Shut up! There's no way it's true, all right?!

[mortemscintilla]

It is.

[ Most emphatically. ]

I think he wants you to lose your temper on someone other than him.

[negativegate]

Now I know you're lying.

I never lose my temper at him.

[...It's not an intentional joke okay.]

[mortemscintilla]

I'm sure you don't.

[ SKEPTICAL. ]

[negativegate]

Are you saying you don't believe me?

[Glaaaaaaare]

[mortemscintilla]

Slightly.

[ WOULD GLARE BACK BUT HE IS BAD AT IT ]

[ ........In this persona, anyway. ]

[negativegate]

Well, I don't believe you!

[SO...SO THERE. X(]

[mortemscintilla]

If you don't believe me, why are you so angry?

[negativegate]

I'm not angry!

[mortemscintilla]

Right.

You always have that cute little vein popping on your temple.

[ He's starting to enjoy this. ]

[negativegate]

What? What vein?!

[Sob...]

[mortemscintilla]

Right.

Here.

[ Pointing. ]

[negativegate]

[Almost reaches up-]

N-no way! There's nothing there!

[mortemscintilla]

Are you sure?

[ Pretend-squinting. ]

I think it got even vein-ier.

[negativegate]

Ugh--of course it didn't! There's nothing there in the first place!

[Shaking her head--to try and move her bangs a bit!]

[mortemscintilla]

There is. Ask anyone. [ Hmmm. ] I wonder if the judges will notice?

[negativegate]

Th-this isn't getting judged, anyway!

[mortemscintilla]

Really?

Then I guess you don't need to be embarrassed about the vein.

[negativegate]

I'm not embarrassed-!

--There's no vein to be embarrassed about, idiot!

[mortemscintilla]

[ Sorry, Rita. ]

[ Someone is LOL-ing now. ]

[negativegate]

S-stop laughing!!

[Meeeaaaan]

[mortemscintilla]

[ The meanest. ]

All right. I'm sorry. [ Still laughing slightly. ] But your face was so red.
