@everyone do Yâall want me to intro the teachers? Get the practice moving?
âEverything is a mountainâ
I just realized Chance doesn’t have a nickname (unless you count the names his father called him)! I’ll have to find one.
Chase Duke
âWhat kind of music do you like to listen to?â Music? Chase rubbed the scar on the back of his hand. His mother used to sing, he used to play the flute, he used to sing too. He blankly stared into the room as he remembered. But his father stopped his flute-playing, and his mother was dead. Chase’s music faded and died with his mother’s sweet voice.
“I-I don’t listen to music, ex-except nature’s.”
"You need French Toast."
@everyone
âŚIâm just going to answer my own question and start the practice đ đ
Hugo
âWhy should you apologize? Look at that,â Hugo beamed. He rolled down his sleeve and spun his arm like a pinwheel.
Nar slung her satchel around to her opposite shoulder. Her face flushed faintly with confidence.
Hugo looked at her again, checked himself, and addressed the rest of the group. He pointed over his own shoulder. âI believe dance class is starting just about now.â
He wouldnât have noticed, but for Seb tugging at his shirt.
An older man, and a slightly less old woman stood near the front of the room, in between the two exit doors.
The man at first seemed to be the primary instructor, but instead of speaking up, he let the tall woman dominate the room. She had strict, sharp wrinkles across her face, softened with a few laugh lines, and her long silver skirt trailed across the floor without picking up a spot of dust.
âStudents of Destina!â she called out.
Faces perked up. Several boys and girls audibly gasped with nerves.
âYou may call us Professors Quibble and Amelia.â The woman held out her arm for the stooped, weak man to lean on. He gave her arm an affectionate pat, but her face remained stony. âTonight is not a time for giggling or matchmaking, however the notion may tempt you.â
A nearby girl giggled, and whispered loudly, âRumor has it Quibble has been madly in love with her since preschool.â
Professor Amelia stood like a statue, until the students stopped chirping. Quibbleâs eyes sparkled. He looked all for the world like a fluffy crow on his favorite perch.
âYou will be learning a myriad of dances, at least one of which will seem to rip you soul from your body with its raw difficulty. But have no fear. We will start simple, with a basic waltz.â
The two professors demonstrated.
Students stood on tiptoe, trying to get a good look, but Hugo didnât have to watch. He probably wouldnât have to watch the next few dances either. When you had a swing fanatic for a brother, you picked up a few moves.
Amelia finished and waved her hand. âFind partners. Get a move on, now!â
Suddenly a hurricane seemed to pick up, as kids dashed to and fro, either laughing or terrified. Hugo caught a glimpse of Sebastian, miming out the dance with an invisible partner, and of the two Stonestians rolling their eyes. Nevertheless, he and Nar still stood facing each other.
âWould you like to practice with me?â Hugo asked. He gave a little twirl and held out his arms welcomingly.
âEverything is a mountainâ
DanteÂ
He relaxed slightly around Kate and Brian. These two did not seem like the overly stuck up royalty Dante was expecting.
Seb wandered off as Hugo was distracted by a friendly curly haired girl. Dante smirked. It had only been a few minutes and Hugo had already scored a possible dance partner.
The four remaining in the group talked for a bit about the pixie hunt from that morning.
âHey Dante, anyone from your world here?â Kate asked.
âOne,â he said with a joyless, sharp toothed smile. âBut let’s hope for everyone’s sake that he doesn’t show his ugly face here any time soon.â
Before anyone could answer, a woman called out, âStudents of Destina!â
The students quieted and listened as she taught the first dance. Then she told the students to find partners and try it themselves. People began clambering loudly around the room, looking for partners and clumsily trying out the waltz steps.
Dante quickly separated himself from the chaos. He leaned against the wall in the back, crossed his arms, and watched as his fellow teens tumbled about.

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333Hugo is sooooo sweet! At this point, I’m forcing Nar in no way to like him, she just like…taking on her own life rn.
Nar
“Would you like to practise with me?” Hugo gave a little twirl and held out his arms. Nar pulled her hair out of her pony tail, the red curls falling to around the end of her rib cage. She tapped her right toe on the floor twice, before twirling on it into Hugo’s arms. She smiled and laughed.
“Yeh! But I warn you, I only know how to dance Realn-style!” She looked into his amber eyes, and a slight tint of pink rose in her cheeks. She could feel her heart racing a little. She hoped Hugo hadn’t seen it, and laughed again.
Together they waltzed, Hugo doing it controlled, with Nar in her flourishing, free style, adding tiny aspects to make the dance more “interesting”. While she was not clumsy, her waltz would be considered far from perfect.
"You need French Toast."
Aww, thx, he loves making people happy, it makes him happy đ
Hugo
The dance was so simple, Hugo could do it with his eyes closed. And he did. Holding Narâs hands gently, he glided through the steps, and tilted his head up with a blissful smile.
When Nar did a funny spin under one arm, the slender boy laughed and gave her another twirl. His long legs stepped back, then along the music with precision and poise.
It was nice to dance again.
No killers on his tail. No guns. No lies, telling him to pretend everything was pitch perfect. Just genuine fun – something Hugo tried to find, but almost never found.
Nar really looked gorgeous, despite her plain clothes. She had way more freckles than her partner, and they scattered across her face like inked-in stars.
âSo what kind of amazing things can you tell me about yourself?â Hugo swept her along in a new dance move, and raised his eyebrows boyishly.
âEverything is a mountainâ
Dante needs someone to dance with!! *glares* He canât just stand there the whole time. He needs someone to at the very least annoy him.
âEverything is a mountainâ
Yes, he definitely needs someone to go annoy him. XD He can be convinced to dance, but heâs going to be really stubborn about it first.
âNothing says autumn like slurpinâ apples.â -my uncle
Nar
âSo what kind of amazing things can you tell me about yourself?â Nar smiled, then laughed again as she often did.
“I’m a geek about doctoring, I know a little bit about machinery from an older brother. I…can fight, but only do it for protection. I like the color…” Pink rose in her cheeks. “Amber more than anything. I’m one of only eight Nayhelm’s left in the Universe. I’m the daughter of a lord, niece of a lord, and daughter of a former emperor and empress. I have one adopted brother, and two brothers by birth. Only one sister… Oh, dear, I’ve already said to many ‘I’ s! Now tell me about yourself!”
"You need French Toast."
Oh thatâs awesome! You can tell her I love her name. đ
I was trying to choose between Clementine, Maisie, Hallie, and Dixie. It was close between Maisie and Hallie, but Hallie won. đ

The dancing has begun!
HeheheâŚ
Alright, Iâll write some RPs
Lukas
Lukas swallowed hard and faced Liv with an uncertain smile wobbling on his lips. âWell?â He held out his arms.
@rae (I said in here that Chase was dancing, but I donât know what you decided to do)Callista
She smiled, all tears dried, and met Fynnâs eyes. âYou ready?â
He smiled and took her in his arms. Callie found it easy to smoothly waltz around the room but Fynn was another story. He often tumbled over his feet, needing to take his eyes off Callieâs face and on his feet. âSorry, Callie. Iâm a mess.â He chuckled.
Callie laughed along with him. âI guess thatâs what this dance class is for.â
As they floated across the room, Callie caught glimpses of Chase on the dance floor. She met his eyes a few times and made sure that he saw her confident smile.
@smiley and @anyone-else Sorryyy, I ran out of time, but Iâll write the rest of the RPs later. (:Write what should not be forgotten. â Isabel Allende
Livia
She stood there for a moment. “Um…I’m not sure how to do this.”
“Yeah, me neither,” Lukas laughed a little, “I was kind of hoping you would know.”
“Well, I don’t.”
“Oh.”
“We should watch the other people, and maybe we’ll figure it out?” Liv raised an eyebrow, and Lukas nodded.
They studied Fynn and Callista for a good minute, and finally had it figured out.
“Oh!” Lukas exclaimed. “I think I know how to do this now!” Liv smiled, and Lukas held out his right hand. Liv took it. “Okay, I think you put your other hand on my shoulder.” Liv did, uncertainly. “And now I put my hand on your back.” He did, and her heart skipped a beat as he pulled her closer. His hand burned red hot from where it was on her back, and she thought she might faint.
“Okay, this might not be so bad after all,” Liv said, and then blushed a little as she met Lukas’s eyes. They way he looked at her…It gave her goosebumps. His gaze was so intent as if he was seeing into the depths of her soul.
And she was staring right back.
