OOC Dance Party!

[mecha_sasha]

We made it through another week, everybody! I don't know about you, but mine was really exhausting, and I'm in the mood for some unwinding and celebrating.

So let's have a party.

Drop a comment in here. It can be you personally OOCly, it can be one of your characters. You can do yourself and each of your characters--anything you want.

If so inclined, post a video that reflects your/the character's current state. This is a dance party, after all.

If you're doing one for yourself: introduce yourself again, now that we've had a little time to thread together since the last meet & greet, and since we've got some new folks coming in this app cycle. New people, come on in and say hi! We're pretty friendly. How was your week? Working on anything interesting? (I know a lot of folks here are working on costumes for Dragon*Con...) Share whatever you feel like sharing.

If you're doing one for a character: how's their time aboard the Enterprise been so far? What are they up to?

Show each other some love! You are made of stardust and awesome and don't you forget it. IC, OOC, anything you want. Let's have some glorious chaos up in here. Party's open all weekend.

*wave* I'm Sasha the other other mod, and I play... huh. Butch Cassidy i_got_vision, Loki scarred_grin, Sigyn home_fires_burning, Pyrrha pyrrha_pandora, the lovely Mireille Adler mirabile_mireille whose journal name I should've made less of a finger-twister to type and when work hasn't eaten my brain, your friendly neighborhood Q trial_never_ends.

This week I learned that accidentally inhaling toner dust is a bad thing, and was the only person manning two different departments, so I am tired. This weekend I'm hoping to get started on my Brucolac costume (from China Miéville's The Scar) because damn, embroidery's gonna take forever.

And I can't get my video to embed so here. Glenn Miller - Song of the Volga Boatmen

You know what? This is an excellent idea. John is 500% behind this idea. He would also like to compliment you on your excellent taste in music.

John's time aboard the Enterprise has been GREAT. It's still not Earth, and he's learning to chain down his enthusiasm like that really excitable yard dog who just wants to jump on all the people, but otherwise he rates this space hotel 5 stars.

Music he can contribute to the dance party:
Montefiori Cocktail, "Star Wars Theme (Spaghetti Western Version)" This is pretty much John's theme song for all of season one, before it's ousted by...

Andrew Bird, "A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left" This will forever be my theme song for John. Forever.


(Also, hi! I'm Gabby! I'll do another post in a bit with more of my characters and a better introduction, John just heard FRIDAY and DANCE PARTY and could not resist.)

[scarred_grin]

John may be getting dragged off to holodeck-karaoke at some future point whether he likes it or not

probably especially if he doesn't

[never_felt_better]

OH MY GOD, CAN THAT BE AN ACTUAL THING?

John would SO be down. Aeryn, on the other hand, would think they were both farbotz.

[scarred_grin]

I think it needs to be, now! Thaaaat's getting made into a holodeck program.

Sigyn watches in amusement, and suggests maybe this time skipping Bohemian Rhapsody.

[never_felt_better]

SACRILEGE! YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH FREDDIE MERCURY.

[mirabile_mireille]

Mireille's coping as well as can be expected. Being in a completely new place is actually helping her deal with the being-widowed thing, but there's only so often she can wipe imaginary dust off the furniture in the common area and still tell herself she's being productive. Also, damn does she want to get new clothes that aren't quite as oppressive as her current Victorian outfit. She's used to the '50s, and being able to see her shins.

People are so nice, though. She likes that.

She's bringing a slow dance: Billie Holiday - I'll Be Seeing You.

[pyrrha_pandora]

Pyrrha wants to know who the hell packed her suitcase for her. Electric equipment she can't use without some adapter solution she doesn't have; a SkyMall catalog she can't order from, because it was issued centuries ago; a bottle-opener--really? Couldn't give her one of her favorite books? A charger for her mp3 player (that she wouldn't be able to plug in anyway)?

But she's doing fine. Even if her baby Egil is weirdly into licking the glowing surfaces of the tables in Ten Forward. Whatever that's about.

And she is dancing (terribly) to Depeche Mode - Happiest Girl

[defendergirl]

Right, so. Hi!

I am Jen, also skyfell on Plurk or zellyb on Twitter if that's your jam, and I am going to be joining this game real soon, if all goes well!

It was the amazing and wonderful Mod Gabby who got me completely immersed in Ten Forward. Seriously, it did not take much arm pulling to get me here. I'd been meaning to get back into RP after a looong hiatus. And with a few familiar faces (Hi Amanda! Hi Laura!), it's been an absolute delight to take part in something like this again.

I am still making some decisions on who I'm apping, but I've got Rory Williams (Doctor Who) and Rose Tyler (Doctor Who) pretty much set. Rose has been making some noise in the test thread, and I have a Peter Pevensie (Chronicles of Narnia) in the test thread as well.

I'm still considering a couple of others (including a younger, vaguely AU-James Bond), but ... we'll see!

All day I've been listening to big-band/vocal jazz. So my only offerings for this dance party are some classy jams. Such as this lovely tune.

[scarred_grin]

Welcome! ^__^

That Mod Gabby is a bad influence, let me tell you. One minute you're going along minding your own business, and the next minute you're knee-deep in shenanigans.

Excellent choice in characters, and in music also!

[defendergirl]

ahahaha, this is an accurate assessment. <3

But I'm glad to be here, so.

Thank you! :D

[home_fires_burning]

Sigyn's having a fantastic time, but really, you could put her anywhere and it would be such an improvement over pretty much the entire rest of her life. She's not doing as well as Loki is at the pretend-to-be-human thing but she doesn't care.

And now that they've had some time to get reacquainted, it's time for her to start in on her own work: picking up strays.

Can't go wrong with the incomparable Nina Simone - Wild is the Wind.

[i_got_vision]

Butch is enjoying things, generally--it's a nice place, it's clean, it's safe. But he is worried, and pretending that he isn't (for Mireille's benefit) is starting to wear him down a bit. She looks to him for answers he doesn't have, and he can't lie to her. But hey, you can get decent bourbon here.

He's brought along The Duhks - You Don't See It.

[scarred_grin]

It is fantastic to be alive again and--seriously, have you looked around? On a starship! Really, really far from Earth! Good luck grabbing hold of this guy, Fate who happens to be stuck back on Earth!

Yeah, now that he's settled in and gotten a feel for the place, there's probably some harmless mayhem on the way. Keeps life interesting.

And it's almost always Queen - Seven Seas of Rhye.

[morphitudinous]

Billy is interested in all the new people he's meeting and the brief glimpses of tech he's seen, but he really wants to start learning things. He's intrigued by the new Ranger in town, worried about his BFF Adam, and also worried about hiding their weirdo powers. This is gonna be a stressful trip, but he is trying to stay positive!

As far as dancing up in this joint, you up for some hot stuff?

(This is an excellent representation of his awkward dancing)

[just_a_chemical]

The whole hiding powers thing is hard, isn't it? Especially living in close quarters with total strangers (who may or may not be able to pick up on things).

[morphitudinous]

Oh yeah, he worries about it all night---especially with the living situation. He might just huddle under a blanket with his blueprints at night.

[ashavah]

Is anyone In the Mood? (Actual canon dancing yay!)

Hi! I'm JK, and I'm here because I'm friends with Amanda and RP buddies with Laura. :) I've been playing in a pretty quiet tiny game for the last few years, so it might take me a bit to get back into the swing, but I'm planning to app at least one character this round!

That's me in the test drive thread with Jonas Quinn (Stargate: SG-1) and Jack Harkness (Torchwood) who just showed up and DEMANDED to play. So ... hi!

I'm from Australia and work full time and study part time, so if I'm sometimes slowtime, that's why! It's not lack of love or interest, promise! <3

[fallaces_sunt]

:O HELLO FELLOW AUSTRALIAN *WAVES* :D

[ashavah]

HI HI HI AUSTRALIAN!!!!

[fallaces_sunt]

:D :D :D SO FEW PEOPLE FROM OUR SIDE OF THE WORLD, WHEE.

[ashavah]

I KNOOOOOOOOOOW. SO GOOD TO SEE ANOTHER ONE OF US!!!

*switches journals for :D icon*

[writes_with_digital_ink]

YES. MORE FUTURE PEOPLE WITH WHACKY TIMEZOOOONES.

Hi I'm Ash

Re: *switches journals for :D icon*

[captgreatcoat]

AND WHY NOT?

Hiiii, so good to meet you! I was super excited when I saw there was a Natasha here!

Re: *switches journals for :D icon*

[writes_with_digital_ink]

Oh, eeee :D Nat is my bb, so, so glad people like her being around. Even if she's a teeeerrible person.

And looking forward to Jonas and Ianto. All the sci-fi peeps.

Re: *switches journals for :D icon*

[a_quick_study]

I love Nat. I love her a lot (though I am a movies-only Marvel person so don't know the comics version)!! So yessssss, I will love having her around. Terrible people trying to be less terrible people are often characters I love.

Re: *switches journals for :D icon*

[ashen_key]

I am Mostly Movies, A Lot of Comics Wikias, A Couple Actual Comics person <.< But she's way, way more fun being oooold and ex-Red Army (which, gah, the MCU better not take this away, There Will Be Words).

And yessss, she's trying SO HARD. In. Certain areas. I kinda feel she needs a warning on her sometimes 'HEAD'S UP, SHE IS REALLY TERRIBLE AND A CON-ARTIST', but she's so much fun.

Re: *switches journals for :D icon*

[captgreatcoat]

Terrible con artists. (Or ex con artists.) They are so very very fun!!

[fallaces_sunt]

*waves* Hi, this is Ash (a.k.a. ashen_key); locale, Australia, but given I'm currently unemployed and not studying, my hours are weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird. Weird, but full of job-applications, which is v. sad. Woe.

And this is Natasha Romanoff! MCU, just pre-CA2, co-current with Steve, Clint, and I think Sharon. She has been...being vaguely friendly in the background. Watching things. Trying to piece together information. Not worry about her bestie Clint too obviously. Trying not to geek out too much BECAUSE AHHH, STAR TREK, AHHHH. Probably at the stage of would actually kill someone for a book or something to do, oops.

This app cycle, I'm planning on apping Gaila | writes_with_digital_ink, Uhura's Orion roommate from nuTrek. Because GAILA. ADORABLE ORION TECHIE. ALL THE WORLDBUILDING FOR MEEEEE (which, Trek-muns! I'll be putting up a post for how I'm handling Orions and alternate timelines if she's approved so you guys know what's up.) And because she's GENUINELY nice and sweet, she'll be a nice switch up from Natasha's edges. Admittedly I'll be bringing her a bit dramatically, and she'll be a bit shakey to start with. But hey, Trek. Needs moar aliens.

[a_quick_study]

And apart from being so excited to see another Australian, I am a classics major and therefore LOVE LOVE LOVE Nat's username.

[ashen_key]

Eee, thank you! I thought it fitted her and all of her personae - and in my headcanon, a woman who quotes Seneca as retort has some serious classics geekery in her. And I figured a latin username would help convey that, too.

[captgreatcoat]

HOW did I forget about that? Definitely she must be a classics geek to be able to quote Seneca IN LATIN!

[ashen_key]

YEP. IN LATIN. And she lists Latin as one of Natalie Rushman's languages. Lady is such, such, SUCH a geek.

(In another life, she would have made a perfectly happy academic *pats her head* Lots of study. Papers to write. Colleagues to argue with. Scaring tiny students. It would have been great, thanks, NKVD/KGB.)

[splendid_roman]

Did someone mention dancing?

[ashavah]

Ohhh, Ian!!!
