While I know there are many more pressing matters at hand, there's been a distinct problem I've noticed onboard in the most recent karaoke nights.  I won’t name names, but I have noticed a lack of rhythm that can be rectified with a little practice. Luckily, I am here to help, and there is no singing required.

This Friday, I'll be hosting a group salsa class in the community room.   You don't need to have danced before; all prior skills you need are the ability to count to eight and how to stand up straight.

All are welcome, though anyone who is judgmental towards others just learning will be asked to leave.  I don't have patience for that, and it's supposed to be fun.

See you Friday at seven.  Wear comfortable shoes.

i’m not rhythmically challenged, but i don’t know how to salsa. i’ll be there.

[adequacies]

You’ll catch on quickly.

[iyla]

depending on who trips over their own feet, i can’t promise i won’t tease them.

[adequacies]

Don’t take bets on it, and I can let it slide.

[iyla]

no bets, though i bet it’s predictable.

[adequacies]

What did I just say?

[iyla]

knowing that certainly people can’t dance barely counts.

[adequacies]

They’re being very brave.

[iyla]

it’s too boring up here not to be brave.

[adequacies]

You haven’t resorted to counting rivets yet, have you?

[iyla]

not yet. that’s on my to do list for tomorrow.

[adequacies]

I’m lucky you have time for me at all.

[iyla]

when i invite you to count with me, you’ll know you’ve really made it.

foxy.

I was a real thoughtless fool the other day, and I'm awful sorry for it. You're wonderful, and you deserve far better than that from me.

foxy.

[iyla]

i wholeheartedly agree.

foxy.

[jinking]

I'll do anything to make it up to you. If you want. Or I can stop talking?

foxy.

[iyla]

it’s a very small ship, foxworth. a you can make it up to me.

foxy.

[jinking]

How can I make it up to you?

foxy.

[iyla]

i haven’t decided. why don’t you tell me how you think you can?

foxy.

[jinking]

Like. In a normal way or is sex back on the table?

foxy.

[iyla]

in a normal way, foxworth.

[…]

i’m not interested in sleeping with boys who hurt my feelings. i prefer men who show proper appreciation. i’ve only seen evidence of the former.

foxy.

[jinking]

I get it.

Do you [...] want to eat dinner with me sometime? I can bring you a tray.

foxy.

[iyla]

sure. […] there is something that might help you make it up to me.

you could talk to me about the things you were so desperate to avoid thinking about that you wanted to fuck anyone.
