It's Tricky

by **Emilie** » Mon May 09, 2016 1:47 am

Emilie got to the DR first, and was setting things up. She was barefoot, and wearing an exercise bra and black leggings, her hair pulled back by a headband.

She seemed to know her way around the computer anyways.

Victor was late to arrive, which wasn't unusual for him. It seemed like he'd gotten the memo at least, dressed in a "property of Xavier's" t-shirt and a pair of sweat pants.

"We're not doing hot yoga or something, are we?"

by **Emilie** » Mon May 09, 2016 4:43 pm

"While I would definitely always spout the merits of yoga in terms of getting to know your body, I don't force people into it. Whatever you feel is appropriate stretching if fine with me."

by **Victor Freud** » Wed May 11, 2016 10:08 pm

Victor stretched his arms above his head, working out some of the kinks. "Oh trust me, I know my body pretty well.

"So, what's on the agenda today?"

by **Emilie** » Wed May 11, 2016 10:27 pm

"Getting to know each other's bodies."

by **Victor Freud** » Fri May 13, 2016 3:59 am

"Oh, wow. I mean, that innuendo had come to mind but I was polite enough not to use it." For all of his cockiness right now his cheeks were a little bit flushed, perhaps it was just his gymnastic stretches though.

Emilie turned to look at Victor with the most manic, Stepford wife smile on her face.

"That's why you've never had a girlfriend!" She exclaimed in explanation, pressing a button to boot up whatever program it was she had either called up, or cobbled together. It was obvious now that she meant it at least a little insulting, since she walked into the room without further comment.

by **Victor Freud** » Tue May 17, 2016 3:39 am

"Wow, rude." Victor followed, still rubbing his shoulder as he rolled his arm. "Also you don't know that to be true."

by **Emilie** » Tue May 17, 2016 12:51 pm

Emilie stopped and looked at Victor with a bemused expression that could best be described as 'Are you fucking with me right now?'

by **Victor Freud** » Fri May 20, 2016 2:20 am

Victor just looked at her for a moment before he said anything.

"What? You're tryin' to tell me that none of the me's you met ever had girlfriends?"

by **Emilie** » Fri May 20, 2016 1:27 pm

"Don't be cheeky. We've discussed there and back again about how you are not your predecessors, nor are they you."

by **Victor Freud** » Fri May 20, 2016 11:28 pm

"Right. So since you've known me like two months, you've got no idea what I've been doing before you showed up. Remember, I went to Xaviers in New York for a few years. There were lots of redheads there."

What a smug little prick.

by **Emilie** » Sat May 21, 2016 12:03 am

"Annnd you never borked a single one of them, nor even took them on a date, because you were pinning over Lebowski who apparently didn't give you the time of day, because she left school and hasn't talked to you since.

I can stop helping you dig this grave plot you're making for yourself at basically any time ya kno'."

by **Victor Freud** » Mon May 23, 2016 4:42 pm

"Wow, you've really got it out for that Lebowski girl don't you?"

by **Emilie** » Mon May 23, 2016 6:39 pm

"Nope!" Emilie replied. "Lebowski is a friend to me usually, regardless of what gender Lebowski chooses to assign itself. I am only piecing together information from what you have provided to me and patterns I know in Freudian personality."

by **Victor Freud** » Wed May 25, 2016 11:19 pm

"So I'm different from every other Vic, but because every other Vic didn't do a thing then I can't have done a thing. Got it." Victor was bending at the waist to touch his toes, stretching out his muscles in the ways his shifting instructors had taught him to.

"For the record, I didn't go after the Lebowski girl because I was dating someone else at the time. And no, we never sealed the deal. So you can be right if you want."

by **Emilie** » Thu May 26, 2016 12:36 am

"Names please." Emilie demanded.

by **Victor Freud** » Thu May 26, 2016 12:44 am

"Nope. You gotta earn it. You're not the only one who can keep cryptic secrets."

by **Emilie** » Thu May 26, 2016 1:02 am

"This ain't cryptic secrets shit, douche-bag." She replied, holding back a frown.

"The bitches you date now are the bitches coming to slit my throat in other lives." She explained, then turned her back on him.

"Let's get to work I am done arguing with you." The Danger Room had molded around them into a dance studio. Emilie probably had some reason for being here as opposed to the gym, but she wasn't stating why.

by **Victor Freud** » Thu May 26, 2016 11:56 pm

What was it about the two of them that made them devolve into arguments all of the time? Victor wasn't sure, but he was trying to work through it anyway.

"Right, what's first?"

by **Emilie** » Fri May 27, 2016 1:14 am

"We gotta get used to being around each other and the feel of one another before we start throwing each other through the air.

However, the best track of this is the Danger Room. It can easily record what we're doing, as well as with the programming I've set into place, spot errors in movement or flubs we ourselves may not notice."

by **Victor Freud** » Fri May 27, 2016 6:13 pm

"Aaand the easiest way to get comfortable being in close contact is to dance. I getcha."

by **Emilie** » Fri May 27, 2016 10:10 pm

"Right. Remind me of what you're trained in."

by **Victor Freud** » Fri May 27, 2016 11:59 pm

"Officially? Ballet. But I've been doing swing and ballroom and such for awhile."

by **Emilie** » Sat May 28, 2016 12:53 am

"Well then where do you feel comfortable starting?"

by **Victor Freud** » Sat May 28, 2016 5:23 am

Victor mulled it over for a moment.

"Something simple like a waltz would be a good place to start. Baby steps."

by **Emilie** » Mon May 30, 2016 1:34 am

"Danger, may I please have Kaiser-Waltzer Op 437 please?"

She asked politely, and the Danger Room complied by providing proper waltz music.

by **Victor Freud** » Tue May 31, 2016 3:29 am

Victor turned his back to Emilie as she asked for the song, stepping away a few paces. Once the music began he turned to face her then took those few paces back toward, giving a small bow before offering her his hand.

by **Emilie** » Tue May 31, 2016 3:42 am

Emily curtsied in kind, and took his hand.

Once they got to moving Victor would realize she was a very good dancer all things considered, but the familiarity of how he moved and what sort of patterns he would favor probably helped with that.

by **Victor Freud** » Wed Jun 01, 2016 1:49 am

The slow beginning to the particular piece of music was helping Victor to brush off the old cobwebs; it wasn't often that he danced like this anymore outside of a slow song at a school dance.

"We really should have started doing this sooner." The boy softly said before they and the music began to pick up the pace.

by **Emilie** » Wed Jun 01, 2016 1:57 am

"Why's that?" She asked back, for once not accusing him of anything, instead thinking it and letting him have the opening to stick his foot in his mouth.

by **Victor Freud** » Wed Jun 01, 2016 2:15 am

"Because you're a really good dancer." Victor gave Emilie a spin before pulling her back as the two circled around each other. "And maybe getting comfortable with each other this way'd help us communicate better."

by **Emilie** » Wed Jun 01, 2016 2:33 am

"Doubt it." She replied back. " You seem to hate the way I talk and I can't change that. S'like askiing Madame Froo Froo le Petite Bon Bon to stop talking like she's in a bad foreign film. It's just not gonna happen."

by **Victor Freud** » Thu Jun 02, 2016 2:28 am

"I don't hate it." Vic tried his best to clarify. "I just find vague answers frustratin'. Sometimes I'd rather you just say that you can't tell me somethin' instead of using some flowery idiom I don't understand. It makes me feel... stupid."

by **Emilie** » Thu Jun 02, 2016 2:37 am

"It's not always that I can't tell you." Emilie replied. " Sometimes it is that you won't understand. That doesn't make you stupid, but you're eighteen Victor. To say you're probably rather naive at life in general isn't an overstatement, is it?"

by **Victor Freud** » Sat Jun 04, 2016 2:36 am

"I dunno, I think I'm pretty good at knowin' stuff."

by **Emilie** » Sat Jun 04, 2016 4:06 am

"Because you're eighteen. You think you know everything. " She laughed.

by **Victor Freud** » Sun Jun 05, 2016 3:02 am

"Well, not everything. But since you're so smart, I guess I'm pretty lucky to have you around, hmm?"

by **Emilie** » Sun Jun 05, 2016 3:05 am

"Smart?" She scoffed, and that did cause her to mis-step, but she corrected quickly.

"You're fuckin' with me now clearly, because I am failing math again for like, the twenty-second time."

by **Victor Freud** » Sun Jun 05, 2016 3:12 am

Vic was apparently good enough that Emilie's misstep and recovery didn't foul him up at all; he rolled with it as naturally as though it were the proper step.

"You do know that there's different kinds of intelligence, right? Like kinetic intelligence, artistic intelligence... being bad at a stuffy subject doesn't mean yer not brilliant in another."
