[Penny brightens up.]

Oh, that actually would have been a FANTASTIC surprise training exercise!

[She thinks for a second.]

But no, this was an unrelated break-in. ...I'm almost certain. Surely Mister Ironwood would have-

[dot dot dot]

Oh my gosh it might have been part of the event. I guess having to fight even in formalwear IS an important eventuality to prepare for.

[zweihandler]

[ Around yet another mouthful of meat skewer, because nobody is physically preventing her from taking them yet and at this point that is what it will take; ] Uh-huh. Exactly. Imagine if you were at some fancy dance and you had to kick ass in all your finery and got killed because you had no practice?

[ She chomps down hard on her foot as if to emphasize that particular point. ]

... not that it matters to me, I guess. I won't be going to any dances if I can help it.

[in4apounding]

[erina has so much gusto for life and good food, why would anyone ever stop her]

Dying in fancy dress would be beautiful but even more tragic than usual.

[Maybe there's a weird poetry to that.]

[Or maybe it would just be sad. Sad and uncomfortably dressed. And also dead.]

...oh, are you going to be too busy to take time off? That's so sad.

[zweihandler]

Yeah, but imagine what you'd save on funeral costs. If you're already all dressed up, they don't have to fancy you up to put you in the ground.

[ Gruesome to consider!! It's also unclear whether or not this is an off-the-cuff idea or something she's thought about a lot, both of which are equally unpleasant possibilities. That's our Erina! ]

Anyway. It's less a case of can't and more a won't. I don't dance. I just turned up at this one because I knew Shion would kill me with her mind if I didn't.

[in4apounding]

You'd save the mortician so much time!

[laughtrack.wav]

[But then she gets a little quiet, hands folded and eyes downcast. Considering something.]

[Which is normally at least potentially dangerous on its own, but almost certainly so when factoring in an agent of chaos like Erina.]

Are you not having fun?

[Just to confirm.]

...Would you like to leave? Sneak out. To avoid the brain killings.

[zweihandler]

[ Erina pauses. She chews over the question (as well as another mouthful of food) then responds with a resounding: ]

Eh.

[ go girl, give us nothing! ]

Don't get me wrong. Parties like this are absolutely not my thing. But... s'not the worst thing in the world. I mean, look–

[ She gestures to the hustle and bustle with the remains of her skewer. It's noisy and a little chaotic but even the members of their weird little interdimensional group that are usually a bunch of grumpy assholes seem to be begrudgingly enjoying themselves. ]

– how often do you see that? Our big group of dumbasses all hanging out and having a good time in the same room. Just because it's not one hundred percent my thing doesn't mean I'm not enjoying the vibes.

[ She gives Penny a little nudge. ]

What about you, though? I figured this was totally your kind of party and you'd be tearing up the dance floor.

[in4apounding]

Oh, absolutely!

[She kind of- packs an entire solo dance routine into that one exclamation? Metaphorically. It's a tone of voice thing Erina is presumably familiar with at this point, not an actual three-second dance number.]

But I thought you didn't want to dance?

[There's a logical disconnect in play which is obvious to only one of them.]

[zweihandler]

[ See Erina. See Erina slow blink and set down her skewer. See Erina positively, definitively, Not Get It. ]

Yeah, that's right. But, uh... you want to dance, so...

[ She makes a vague gesture towards the dance floor. ]

Go get 'em, tiger. Or whatever you're supposed to say.
