Party time! - Open like woah

[a_time_slip]

Stress?  There was no stress right now,no problems with anyone, no enemies- there was just her boat, and a bit of land decorated for a luau.  She'd actually put the boat in the water for once!

Janie sat back with a drink and waited for people to show up.  When she decided to throw the spontaneous shindig, she cheated and sent invitations out right away.

It was happy fun party time.

"...sorry. You must miss it."

She went quiet for a moment. "Yes, it's mine. I needed a way to take people with me that wouldn't make them sick. It gets lonely." Janie took a sip of her drink. "It's called the Rift Raft"

[lostinthefog]

"It's okay." He waved it aside with a shrug, this wasn't the time and place to become melancholy.

"Hah, that's a nice name. You're making boat trips with people? Who'd have thought that ..."

[a_time_slip]

"Yes! Do you want to go some time?" She didn't explain that she went on trips through time, and not the ocean. "It's really nice on the inside"

[lostinthefog]

And of course, he was awfully unsuspicious of that little fact. What a nice idea!
"Sure, why not? Haven't been on one for ages."

[a_time_slip]

"When do you want to go? It'll be a lot of fun. I wasn't sure f you'd like it, which is why I never asked." Janie grinned, excited.

[lostinthefog]

"Oh, I do! Don't know, whenever you have time? Tuesday and Wednesday are my days off currently, so maybe then?"

[a_time_slip]

"Sure! I'll pick you up on Tuesday. You'll love it!" Janie grinned

[lostinthefog]

"Okay!" Julian grinned as well, looking forward to a nice, little boat trip.
He finished his drink and looked for someone with a tray to get another one.

[a_time_slip]

Janie waved another person with a tray over, and grabbed a coconut.

"I'm thinking of dancing. Should I do that?"

[lostinthefog]

Julian decided for something different, to mark the occasion, and took a more exotic looking drink from the tray.

"Uh, sure, if you like? It's your party." He smiled, took a sip and didn't look as if he felt called upon.

[a_time_slip]

Janie grinned at her friend. "What kind of music do you like? I'll play it, dance to it."

[lostinthefog]

He looked up from his drink, somewhat confused.

"Uhm? Rock music, but I'm afraid I can't dance."

[a_time_slip]

"I don't care about skill" Jane said, before requesting that rock be played "If you don't want to dance, we can drink. Theres lots of alcohol here"

[lostinthefog]

"It's not that I don't want, but ... I have no idea what to do. I'd probably step on your toes a lot."

[a_time_slip]

"I can try showing you." offered Janie "I'm used to getting my toes stepped on."

[lostinthefog]

"Hmm ... alright. You've been warned." He took another mouthful of his drink, hoping that it'd help, and then put it down, looking rather clueless.
"So. Uhm. What now?"

[a_time_slip]

"I have a theory." Janie began, putting her drink down "That everyone can dance. I'm going to do simple steps and you should be able to follow me."

[lostinthefog]

"That sounds pretty optimistic. But let's see if you're right ..."

He moved to stand opposite to Janie and waited for the first instruction.

[a_time_slip]

"I'm right." She grinned, and did a very, very simple dance step. "try doing that..."

[lostinthefog]

Julian watched closely and repeated a movement somewhat similar to Janie's.
"Okay, that was easy."

[a_time_slip]

"You're doing a great job!" Janie smiled, and did a slightly harder step "My theory is right."

[lostinthefog]

He did his best to copy that step as well, fully concentrated on understanding the new sequence, ignoring the music for now.
"You're already sure of that? We didn't actually dance yet."

[a_time_slip]

"Yes. I'm sure. I was always sure." She did it again, just to make sure he had it before going on to something harder.

[lostinthefog]

"Wow. I want to have that confidence."
His movements looked a bit tense and very deliberate, but similar to what Janie had shown him.
