Hurricane Party!
Who: Ginny and the other residents of the resort
What: Hurricane Party!
When: Day 10, around 7 PM.
Where: The White Sands Resort Bar and Club
Rating: PG? I don't know what crazy shenanigans are going to occur.
Status: In progress.

Ginny hated being stuck indoors.

She almost literally been trying to climb the walls in her frustration when she'd decided to throw a hurricane party. She hadn't met many of the residents, and figured if there was anyone else as irritated at being stuck inside then they'd appreciate the change of scenery. It'd also give people a chance to mingle and meet. She wondered if there were others from her world here besides Tonks.

The planet had been most accomodating to her ideas. The club was currently themed for a luau, and small lanterns shed a soft glow over numerous smaller groupings of tables as well as over the dance floor and bar. She hadn't been sure what the other residents might eat, so she'd asked for a large selection of snacks. The bar was well-stocked as well. She didn't recognize all of the things stocked, but she did notice a bottle of Firewhiskey and what appeared to be butterbeer.

Now all this party needed was people. Maybe she'd get to see Max again.

	She laughed inspite of herself. Men always asked about her hair. She tossed it slightly and smiled up at him. "Thank you, you're very gracious. Might I ask what you were eating? They looked delicious." Food was always a good conversation topic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

At least he hadn't offended her. He'd thought, belatedly, that his words could have been taken wrong, as an insult. Some people didn't like these things pointed out. He was relieved to hear her laugh.

"You are quite welcome..."

Her question had the blond elf raising his eyebrows and smiling a little as he walked over to the table, which had a tray of the honey cakes that were among his favorite.

"I do not know how the Planet does it, but it has discovered one of my only weaknesses. These are a sort of cake made with honey that my people make. Try one, you will like it."

His own words convinced him, anyway, and he selected and started nibbling on another of the sweet, light, fluffy pastries.

Michiru followed him to the table and carefully picked up one of the indicated cakes, wincing slightly as her still raw fingertips touched the food. She bit into it delicately and was surprised to find that it was indeed quite sweet.

"Very nice" she said appreciatively. The flavor was a bit less layered than she was used to but it was quite tasty. She glanced out at the general party again as the music switched to a slightly more classical song.

"Do you dance?" she asked. It wouldn't be the same, but she enjoyed dance and this strange elf man seemed interesting. You could tell a lot about a person by dancing with them

Dark elven eyes widened as he saw her fingers. Most people might not even notice, but he was very perceptive. He looked up at her face, slightly alarmed, and then gestured gracefully towards her fingers.

"Are you alright? What happened to your hands?"

He was glad she liked the cake, and had suspected she would. Humans often liked elven food, and that was apparently true here as well as in Middle Earth. He was happy that he'd been right, though, and that she'd liked it.

"I do dance... but I fear it may be different than the dancing I have seen here. But, if you are willing to indulge me..."

He bowed to her once more, and offered his arm to lead her out onto the dance floor. He didn't know how to dance like the few other people on the dance floor, but he would do his best. He liked dancing, and was pretty sure he could figure it out.

At his question about her hands Michiru flushed slightly and curled the fingers of her more injured hand up to hide the injury. "It's nothing" she said, shaking her head slightly. "I just was a little foolish today." Which was really the cause of her embarrassment. It hurt right now, but would heal, given time. She just should have known better.

At his offer to dance her eyes lit up. It was so nice to finally meet someone here who actually knew how to behave! "It would hardly be an indulgence. An honor perhaps. I'm not too familiar with this sort of dancing either. We can learn together perhaps?"

He had seen the cuts on her fingers, and to him, they looked very similar to the cuts he got on his fingers when he practiced too long with his bow. But she didn't have the muscle structure in her forearms to be an archer, he could tell that from first glance. Interesting, really. He wanted to look closer, but she had shown a lack of interest in sharing, and he wasn't going to pry.

"The honor, my Lady, is all mine."

He took her hand in his and tucked it into the crook of his arm before turning and leading them towards the dance floor. He watched as the other people on the floor danced, and hoped he could get this right. He leaned over to whisper to Michiru.

"I do not know about this dancing... it seems to be little more just slightly moving to music. Elven dancing is much different... what dances do you know? Perhaps I would learn them more easily than these strange ones..."

"Isn't all dance just moving with the music?" Michiru asked as she let Legolas lead her out to the floor. She gave him a crooked smile and tilted her head to listen to the music for a moment. Yes, there was indeed a pretty simple beat under the melody. She took his hands and let herself start to feel the rhythm. She moved in time, with small steps, side to side.

"Most of what I know are couples dances. Waltzes, formal ones like that. But here, I think its just letting yourself get caught in the rhythms." She tossed her hair back and looked up at the elf with interest. He was interesting. Far more interesting than most men she met. And quite handsome in a strange way.

He thought about what she said, really thought about it. Of course, he'd been dancing for nearly a thousand years, almost as long as he'd been alive. But, strangely, he'd never considered what actually makes dancing, dancing. Now that he did, though, he realized she was completely correct.

"Yes... yes, I believe that will make it easier..."

Following her lead, and being very music, he listened intently, and soon, was moving in step with her. Maybe they wouldn't win any dance competitions, but they wern't any worse than some of the other people on the dance floor. The elf had a sort of natural grace when he moved around at the most normal of times, but when he was dancing, even as simply as this, it was enhanced.

"I do not know this waltz you speak of... I would be grateful if you would show me sometime..."

He tilted his head to the side and looked at her thoughtfully. For a human, she was very graceful. He wondered if she could handle the elven dances that most humans merely tripped through, if they could do them at all.

She watched as her felt the music and started moving with her. He moved with such ease and grace, it was amazing.

"Maa, are you sure you've never danced like this before?" she said jokingly. "I'd be happy to teach you to waltz, but it needs a three-beat song." She'd never had to teach someone to lead before, but surely with his grace it wouldn't be too hard.

"What are you thinking?" she asked, noticing his thoughtful look

He wouldn't have thought such a simple dance would be this much fun. It was nothing at all like the dances of his people, not the primitive dances of the silvan elves, nor the stately, refined dancing of the elves of Lothlorien or Imladris. This was just a very simple moving of one's body to music with a definate beat.

"I am certain, yes. There is no music like this anywhere on my world."

Not being content for long with keeping things as simple as other people where, he started improvising a little, adding flourishes to his movements. Her question amused him, and he laughed as he took her lightly around the waist and spun her quickly in a tight circle before releasing her once more. He responded honestly, as was his habit.

"I was wondering if I could teach you to dance like an elf. You have a graceful way about you."

Michiru laughed as he spun her around. She was having almost enough fun dancing with him to forget everything that had happened the past few days.

"Here, I'll teach you to waltz, and you can teach me elven dance. You are very good at thi..." her voice trailed off as a casual look past him gave her a glance of a familiar blond figure sitting at the bar. She stumbled slightly, and blinked, but by the time she'd recovered, people had moved, once again blocking her line of sight.

"That's not funny Planet..." she muttered. Surely it couldn't be, could it?

He was enjoying himself with this aqua-haired girl. She wasn't very much like the other humans he knew. Of course, he didn't really know many other humans, but still. He was having a lot of fun, and it took his mind off everything he'd been thinking over the past day.

"I will accept that offer gladly. Although perhaps here and now are not the best time and place. Elven music would not fit well with these settings, I fear."

He was very perceptive, and noticed when she started and looked over at the bar. He looked at her pensively for a moment.

"Do you wish to go? I would not stop you, though I have enjoyed your company."

"I... I don't know" she said, still trying to get a glimpse of the bar area. She dragged her attention back to the elf and gave him a embarrassed look up through her lashes.

"Forgive me. This planet is playing tricks on me I'm sure, but I thought I saw someone..." She shook herself slightly and gave him a half smile. "We will have to dance together some time. I would like to learn from you."

He smiled, a real, genuine expression when she said that. He could tell it was someone important to her that she'd thought she'd seen, and that touched him.

"I know something of this, only in my case, it was who I thought it was. You should go. You may have the same experience."

He bowed to her again, very politely, and when he spoke again, he was sincere and obviously so.

"I have truly enjoyed this, and someday, if you will it so, I would very much like to meet you again to learn of your dances, and teach you mine. Farewell, Michiru Kaioh."
