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!

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?"
