IC/OOC :: Teen Dance Party

November 9 - 7-10pm
Teen Dance Party (Ages 13-19)

Goodland Youth Center | Adult Chaperones Welcome
IC/OOC Post | Rating TBD/Should be Low

With so many younger teens around at the moment, Jim decided to have a Teen Dance Party at his youth center. All kids from ages about 13 to 19 are welcome and he's definitely open to some of the Goodland Adults showing up to help as chaperones, too.

Feel free to just check in OOC and plot with people or do some mini-threads in the comments if you'd like!

IC: Five, Cisco

Cisco showed up a little late. George said he could go but he was a little nervous. He'd never been to a party. He had a pocket full of candy and a brain full of anxiety. He hadn't dressed up or anything, he didn't think it was necessary, but he never did so that was no big shock there. He stood around at the wall and watched for a while. Teens filtering in, some he recognized and would nod to-others he didn't know at all, there were so many people it was almost impossible to keep up with. He was toying with his phone a bit, trying not to look completely out of place though he probably did anyway.

Five practically vibrated with energy. He always did. He had ways to deal with it because he'd gotten in trouble one too many times for not being still, but Dad wasn't there, and he was at a proper (as far as he could tell) party, so what did it matter? There was no one to tell him what to do, not even Klaus (like he'd listen to his brother anyway? Just because he was Number Four didn't mean anything to Five, though some of his brother's words still lingered in the back of his head, just out of reach for the moment because they weren't relevant to having fun), so that meant he was going to do what he wanted. And what he wanted was to move, to be active, to do something.

There might not be a tomorrow, he'd thought as he'd danced with Darcy. Yeah, he realized he might still be in this strange place that didn't exist in any proper sense of the word, but from what information he'd been able to gather, but would he still be who he was when he woke up? There'd been too many questions (but there always were, weren't there? Always so many questions, not enough answers), and he didn't want to know the answers. Not yet. So he'd pushed it all aside in favor of this party, with the music he didn't know and the people he had some vague idea about and his heartbeat pulsing through his veins.

Everyone should have been enjoying the party, believed Five as he noticed another kid off to the side. The telephone devices were cool, yeah, but why come to a party and not do party things? He wandered over to the other boy, a hint of mischief in his green eyes as he watched him toy with the phone. The whole thing seemed counterproductive to him, and, grinning, he said, "You should dance with me." Because they were at a party, and he was pretty sure that's what you did when the music was just loud enough to thrum against your bones without being too jarring, when the lights weren't so dim you couldn't see but weren't blinding, either, and the energy was naturally high, and he knew he wasn't going to sleep tonight from all the buzzing in his body.

Cisco was the opposite. Often quiet and reserved, he didn't do much to stand out. He stood in his older brother's shadow until arriving in this place. To him, all this was shockingly new and he didn't know how to respond except to blend in more. Old him probably would have wanted that too. Just to blend in and have friends, so he tried not to disrupt the older versions life too much by existing in a place he probably shouldn't.

The kid looked up from his phone with a raised eyebrow. "I don't know how." He could barely hear what Five was saying through the noise. He enjoyed the vibrations though. It was strange, it was like he could feel them to his core and it didn't freak him out. It was actually oddly comforting in there. He half expected to have wanted to go home by the ten minute mark, but there he was. Still at the party in spite of not doing party things.

With a grin, Five shook his head and, pitching his voice to be sure he could be heard, said, "You don't have to know how. You just... move. Like that." He motioned to the room of people, to the ones moving to the beat (or maybe their own beat. He wasn't judging, was in too high a mood to judge how others danced. Besides, it was too personal for him to care so long as no one stepped on his foot or knocked him over), to the ones looking like they were having a good time. At least he thought they were. Why would they dance if they weren't having fun? Why bother coming at all if fun weren't the goal? There was no point, he decided. No point in going to a non-mandatory party if it weren't to have fun. So, as far as he was concerned, they were having fun.

But was this kid having fun? He didn't know. But that's why he was there, right? To find out and to fix it if he weren't. It was a party, and the only adults he'd seen didn't seem to care if they laughed and danced. It was a party, and Five was determined to have fun. And he was determined to be around people his own age who weren't his brothers and sisters (even though he loved them, he really did, but being around new people in such a unencumbered way was new and exhilarating).

"Come on," he said, offering the other boy his hand. "What've you got to lose?"
