Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You're in a very perky mood today. Did you have fun last night?" Xai asked with a smile as she walked into the house with Evari. Evari's eyes were closed but she had a huge grin on her face, singing quietly as she danced through the door and into the living room area. It was nice to see her like this, especially when the girl had seemed so skeptical about that playdate in the first place! She never got an answer from Evari and merely shrugged, closing the door and heading into the kitchen. Now that she was along Evari really started to dance and sing. It was this really cool lady who sung about random stuff! Roxy had introduced her to this music...her name was um...hm...what was her name again? Evari stopped dancing and blinked, going quiet as she wandered out of the room and down the hall and into her room. She'd bought a CD of her music because she'd liked the lady and how her music sounded, now where was it...ah! Here it was! Evari grinned and held up the Lady Gaga CD with her picture on the front, walking over to a slot in the wall on the other side of the room. It was a built in entertainment system. It was Ursontaean technomumbojumbo, but Evari just called it the 'entertainment system'; there was a screen in the wall, and somehow the sound just...came out of the walls themselves. But it was only in this room so she could play it as loud as she wanted and no one would hear. Apparently the only thing that could be heard from inside the room was a loud explosion! But Evari didn't know that. She hadn't been on that side of the door when that happened.

She gently pushed the CD into the slot in the wall and put the case down, pressing a few buttons that lit up onto the wall itself and...

Hold her hand through the black light
Baby it's a forest land of trick slides
Honey just take your time
Close her eyes

Yay! It worked! This was one she hadn't heard yet...huh. Kinda slowish for her tastes but she'd give it a try! She liked this Lady Gaga lady, and she liked Roxy! Neither of them could steer her wrong. She pressed the lights off and grinned down at herself. Heeeeee! She was glowing so brightly still! She barely remembered parts of last night but she did remember dancing, and music, and a strange colored drink that tasted just awful...so she wanted to make up for not remembering it. And so she started to dance again, closing her eyes and moving this way and that around her room with the music.

"She paints on a smile~. She hears a sound, she hears a sound~." Evari sang along with the music, giggling with delight. That was fun! She wanted to do it more! But this song wasn't as fun as she'd like...hm...there was another she knew she liked on here. What was it again? She stopped dancing and wandered back to the wall, pressing a hand against the wall until a list appeared with words on it. Where was it...oh! Poker Face! There it was! Evari cheered and tapped her finger against that title, cheering again when the song blared through the walls. This was more Evari's speed. "I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas plays~. Fold 'em, let 'em, raise it baby stay with meee~." She giggled. This was fun! Some of these lyrics she didn't quite understand, especially when it got to...bluffin' with her muffin? How do you bluff with a muffin? She didn't get it but...whatever. She continued to dance, deciding to put the song on repeat so she could keep singing it and try and figure out these crazy lyrics. At one point she slipped on a stray article of clothing she had left on the floor the day before, gasping and falling backwards...but she caught herself on her hands and managed to spin on her feet to face downward and then hopped back up onto her feet again all in one swift move.

...Whoa. Evari blinked and just stared down at herself, picking up the shirt she had slipped on and tossing it on her bed. How did...how did she do that? She leaned back with an arm extended behind her, falling back on it and naturally lifting one of her legs into the air as she did...and then keeping the momentum going to keep going backward with her foot over her head until she was standing on that foot again and then the other. Whoa! That was fun! She'd never danced like that before! Evari grinned and pushed herself to the side with her toes, landing on the ball of her other foot and doing a little turn, her arms moving in a circle in front of her as she spun again. This was so much more fun than just randomly flailing and jumping around! She was actually dancing! Like...real-ish dancing! Hahaha! The song stopped playing on repeat, apparently it had a limit of ten repetitive plays before the system decided it wanted to play a totally different artist entirely; that was fine with Evari as long as she got to dance and sing. She didn't recognize the words to this one so she decided to just dance some more, following along with the beat as best as she could. It had a weird beat but she eventually got the hang of it soon enough...sort of...she got it as best as any kid her age could get it. She experimented with her dancing, seeing what would happen if she did this or that or moved her arms like this while her legs did something else.

This was probably the most fun she'd ever had by herself! She just had to show Xai!

Evari didn't bother turning on her lights or pausing her music, running to the door and shoving it open so she could just run down the hall and to the living room where Xai was fiddling with a weird looking object and muttering equations to herself, her data ring whirring and spinning like a disc being scanned. She stopped for a moment to just watch the alien, blinking and tilting her head a little. Oops...maybe now was a bad time. She may have made it a 'rule' that all attention should be on her but even Evari had a natural instinct of self-preservation; that object looked like it would hurt someone if Xai messed it up. It took several minutes but Evari's glowing did catch Xai's attention without her even needing to do or say anything, so she blinked a few times and stopped what she was doing to look up and over at her charge. "Yes, Evari?" Evari giggled and clapped her hands, a few sparks shimmering around them and making little popping sounds.

"Can we dance?" She asked very excitedly, bouncing on her toes and clasping her hands together under her chin, staring at Xai with huge eyes and a pleading look. Xai blinked. Dance? Together? Them? Of Evari's own free will?

"Um...alright~." Wow! This was great! Xai loved to dance, and if Evari wanted to dance with her then that was even better! Evari cheered, throwing her arms up in the air and giggling. The pair went back to Evari's room where the music was still playing very loudly, spending the rest of the day except for when they had to eat just...dancing!
