[OPENING] magical training log

[spellslash]

Who: Brie, whichever newbies want to show up.
Where: The beach.
When: Day 4
Open/Closed: OTA

[It's about noon on the island, based on the position of the sun. The newbies have had a few days to settle in, but that doesn't mean they've fully mastered their newfound abilities.

As much stock as Genette puts into telepathy, Brie is more concerned about their other newfound gifts. She's aggressively tried to wrangle as many newbies as possible onto the sandy shores of the beachfront area for some magic practice.

She's got a list of everyone's magic -- only a few vague notes, limitations are for you to discover -- and she's handing out missions for magic training. If you want to participate? Feel free. If you don't? Suit yourself.

But understanding your magic isn't just an activity that benefits the group. Learning your magic's abilities may be what stands between you and survival, which is something she makes perfectly clear.]

[Here's one, and it's a face she doesn't recognize. She seemed to be having a good time, and Madhuri wasn't the woman to deny another girl her fun. She fell into step with Rottytops and completed the duet with one half to what was now whole. Her voice lifting in chorus, she could only offer the zombie a wink. Nice moves!

Ooh, who was this now? They'd spoken, if but briefly! But with the shake of his tail and a delightfully absent look to his face, he looked more confused than anything. Her grin widened as she began another hook, and gave Red's hips a playful bump with one of her own. How's it going, tiger?

He's cute enough to eat, isn't he, mysterious green-skinned stranger?]

[As she continued with the steps, the zombie girl followed along on the girl's lead. She wasn't sure what got a hold of her, but she really didn't think of it much either. This was just a fun time and she would even add to Madhuri's chorus with an occasional "WOO" whenever it was appropriate.]

[She noticed Red join and and gives him a bit of a wink. Then, as the dance continues she'll make her way to the side of him and bump him with her hip. Hard. In the direction of Madhuri.]

[mech_and_mutt]

Hey-!!

[First one, then the other-- and poor Red's shimmying took on a new intensity as his hips were made a Newton's cradle between the feather-capped enchantress and the... zombie lady. He'd have moved or pushed away... were his legs not locked in step and his arms held out, accentuating the vigorous shaking of his chest.

...But they weren't owning it with the tail-whipping like he was.]

Easy, easy--

[But before he could take his own advice, Rottytops suddenly had her hand taken- and a flashy, in-leaned pirouette followed under his craned arm, his lingering parting quickly followed up by similarly taking Madhuri.

...Straight into a sweeping dip.]

Uh.

[Could he have done this if he'd TRIED?? But it wasn't a thought he could linger on for too long with his dramatic stare meeting Madhuri's eyes.]

...Hello again.

[songbird_slayer]

[Well, well! Check out the doggo with the moves! In with the twirl, and she was curious as to how he'd go next. What did it mean, then? She danced and others followed? Did they have their own thoughts and feelings when she did so, was it something they wished to do deep down and she just-]

Oh-!

[Off she twirled, and she found her world tilted up and back. She wasn't the heaviest individual, but she was at least glad he had the upper body for this. But it also meant her feet couldn't keep dancing and the air would slowly begin to clear.

Uh oh.]

Hello yourself. I suppose I owe an explanation...

[cadventuretime]

[The air cleared, but the zombie was still in the mood to dance. For a second she slowed down as Madhuri does, but then.]

One more time!!

[Or she was, but the sight of the two getting close made her stop a most excellent beginning part of "Thriller" when her eyes looked at the two locked together...

Oh no, that is much MUCH more interesting.]

Or not.

[Don't mind her, she's just going to sashay her way to the side, watching in on the two getting... familiar with each other.]

[mech_and_mutt]

[Gone was that rhythm to her motion, the beat to the music. Strange how that spring and certainty in his steps seemed to come to a sudden, stumbling halt the moment Madhuri stopped dancing.

Leaving him just... staring down at Madhuri.

He was quick to snap back to position upright, almost gingerly setting her back down on the sand.]

S-sorry! All that song and dance kinda... got to me.

[songbird_slayer]

[She gently dusted off.]

Don't you worry. My new magic worked impeccably, then. I'm meant to dance and see who joins me. It's a little... "infectious".

See?

[She grinned and simply bounced in place, hips left and hips right.]

[cadventuretime]

[As though on cue, Rottytops bound forward between Madhuri and Red, doing a bump and grind with the biggest, dumbest grin on her face.]

I'll say! Woo! Shake your money-makah!
Like someone 'bout to paaay-ah!

[Its honestly a bit hard to tell if she's doing this on purpose or if it is a result of Madhuri's magic... Either way, she's really getting into it.]

[mech_and_mutt]

[And sure enough, from the first sway of the hips there was a tail-swishing shimmy of his own in mirrored complement. Huh! Guess she finally found that magic of hers after all. Still, he felt a bit silly that he got caught so off-guard by it--

--but not nearly so much as when Rotty started grinding between them, and he jumped right into following suit grinding against her...]
