The Dorm Stairwell - Vaguely morning-ish

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra led the way from the roof to the stairwell, still lightly holding River's hand. Just moving across the roof was a dance in itself as she spun her partner just a bit.

"Dancing on the railings" River had said. Cassandra beamed. There were six floors of them. This was going to be fun.

She turned to her partner in crime with a smirk. "Ready?"

[ooc: Cass and River will be dancing down the stairs. Anyone is welcome to find them on the way down!]

Giggling, she spun a bit and took Cassandra's hand. "Always! People don't dance enough around here."

"Have to inspire them," River said in agreement to that.

Lightly holding Anemone's hand, Cassandra flipped herself up to stand on one foot. "Let's do it then," she laughed as she shifted a bit to let herself slide down the railing.

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Anemone let out a whoop as she followed Cassandra, moving easily down the railing. "Terpsichore in the stairways, that's us."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River moving ahead of them spun around, laughing.

As she reached the point where the railing turned at the landing, Cassandra pushed off toward the wall and then bounced back to slide down in the other direction. Her fingers extended both ahead and behind as she reached for the two other dancers.

Fingers light woven with Cassandra's, Anemone laughed and swirled her skirt as she kicked one leg up. "How many dancers can fit on the banister, do you think?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River took Cassandra's hand. "All depends on how fast we move."

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

With a slight tug Cassandra pulled the other two toward her just as she let go of their hands and kicked used a kick off of the far wall to let her step around River with a laugh.

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Show-off," she teased, twirling towards River to curtsy and offer the other girl her hand.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River took it and raised her arm to spin Anenome around.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra paused to watch them for a moment, one leg extended behind her and weight balanced on her toes.

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Anemone obligingly spun counter-clockwise before twirling closer to River and giggling. "Think we can learn to dance on the ceiling?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Gravity might pose a problem," River replied, then did another handstand.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Letting herself slide farther down the railing, still on one foot, Cassandra offered, "We could try?"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Gravity is a distortion," Anemone sulked, rising up on her tiptoes. "It's greedy, wanting to pull everything in."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"No gravity in space," River said, returning to standing on her feet.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Spinning down into a crouch Cassandra grinned, "Is that our next stop?"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Maybe. I could teach you to dance in an LFO, if they ever let me back at the controls," Anemone offered as she lined up for a cartwheel. "Not enough room in the cockpit for actual dancing, though."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Flying is like dancing. I have a ship." She spun around.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Reversing her spin to stand back up, Cassandra let herself slide down the railing to the next landing. "Lots of things are like dancing," she pointed out.

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Flying is dancing is fighting is climbing trees," Anemone joked as she mimicked the other two. "They all feel the same to me! We should have a tea party on River's ship."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"We can dance around the moon." River was walking on her hands aling the railing.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"Deal," Cassandra decided for all three of them.

Then she grinned and suggested, "Race you to the bottom?"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Anemone just grinned, stepping off the banister and trusting her spacial sense to help her land on the next one and not crack her head open. She'd discovered this was a lot easier if she just did it rather than second guess herself. "Last one there buys ice cream!"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River decided to take her time. She had no objection to buying ice cream, after all.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

A glance from Anemone to River and back was enough to decide Cassandra. River could buy the icecream, and Cassandra was going to beat the pink-haired girl to the bottom.

She stepped off of the railing she was on, grinning and waving cheekily as she dropped past Anemone.

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Cheater!" Anemone laughed, leaping from rail to rail as she chased the other girl downwards. "Curse your sneaky ninja-ways!"

"You need to teach me how to do that later."
