Dorm roof, Tuesday afternoon

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River was dancing on the roof to some music that only she could hear. With surprising precision, considering her heavy boots, she performed the complicated choreography. She was smiling, but her eyes showed focus only for the dance. She had obviously taken care with her costume, wearing a bright pink dress, yellow tights, a hat with a feather in and the only piece of jewellry she owned, an opal pendant.

Dancing was such a good way to chase away bad dreams.

[[ooc: River is totally interruptable, and the roof is open of course.]]

Neil had checked in with Professor Winchester, gotten the copies of the stories for Traditional Fairy Tales and made good headway into his homework and decided to treat himself to a little fresh air.

Being from New England, the weather here in Virginia was positively balmey and as such his peacoat was more than adequate for his exploration of the roof. He'd heard about the roof on the Radio and perhaps he was feeling a little emo, enough to make good use of the roof at least!

Pushing his way through the entrance, he walked carefully along, eyes checking out the view with careful glances but almost immediately his attention was grabbed by the girl dancing. Caught a bit off guard, Neil looked back towards the door and wondered if he should slip back down the steps, rather than disturb her.

[ooc: I would imagine that Neil's mind and feelings would be a cake walk for River to read, anything from DPS canon would be fair game and he's got Todd and guns on his mind today. :)]

As River saw the newcomer, she spun around a couple of times and grabbed his hands, attempting to pull him with her into the dance. He was one of the new students, and she recognised him from Aziraphale's class.

[ooc: I'll keep that in mind! :D ]

Blink!

Neil was rather surprised but in general he was an easy going chap and actually the impromptu invitation to dance rather reminded him of how he and the other actors had played around on stage in between rehersal.

Laughing, he quickly stepped up and tried to match her steps, though it was almost immediately evident that he couldn't equal her skill so instead he concentrated on being a good partner for her to spin and kick around.

"Hey Neil, how's it going?"

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Billy." Neil smiled. "It's going good!"

Jim had heard her rhythmic movements echoing down the stairwell and had investigated, curious. He stood by the door to the roof, folding his arms across his chest as he just watched her dance, his eyes following the flashing colours with interest.

River noticed him and waved, gesturing for him to join in the dancing.

Jim chuckled and held up his hands. He didn't do the dancing thing.

Pippi knew the sound of dancing when she heard it.

"Hey River!"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Pippi!"

River cartwheeled across the roof and landed on her feet next to Pippi. "It's a good day for dancing."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I'd say it certainly is." Pippi nodded.

Blair watched River from the doorway for a moment, just appreciating her dancing.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Blair!" River called out, and did a sequence of turns until she was standing very close to him. She reached up and kissed him lightly. "Dance with me."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair kissed her back and nodded, reaching down to take her hand. "Of course. I'm always up for dancing with you."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Hey Blair." Billy smiled.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Ninja. What's up?"

Turtle was very, very, very excited. And bouncing in her room and in the hallways wasn't enough so she went to go shout things off the rooftop.

And found people. She bounced, long braid dancing. "WPP went up five points!" she announced. They all seemed in good spirits, so she hoped they'd appriciate this.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Wipp?" Blair blinked. "What exactly is that?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"WPP!" Turtle grinned wildly. "The NYSE listing for Westing Paper Products. It just lept! Five points! Eeee!" There was more manic bouncing, frantic braid wiggling.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River didn't care overly about WPP, but bouncing was close to dancing, and dancing was good. River grabbed her hands and tried to spin her around.

"Yay!" billy smirked. "I don't know what that is, but it sounds like good news."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy emerged onto the roof and waved to the people. He grinned at what River was watching. There was something about outfits like that, so mismatched and quirky that he liked. They were about as far from military uniforms as you could get.

"Shame there's no dance class this semester."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River spun around. "Dance anyway," she said. "Good against bad things."

Jack had wandered up to the roof for no particular reason, and he grinned when he saw River. He lifted a hand in greeting to the assembled people, but his attention was entirely on River. He didn't say hi; he knew he didn't have to as he concentrated on how beautiful she looked, dancing on the roof.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

That attention made his thoughts easily recogniseable, and River spun around, grinning. With a sequence of turns she danced up next to him and took his hand. "Jack! Dance with me." She tugged his arm.
